OPiS HIS CAMPAIGN FRIDAY

Attorney Peter Crumpack er, Republican Candidate for Mayor of Hammond, Plans Aggressive Meet ings. Realizing the importance of Hammond's north side, and its tremendous 'development possibilities during the next few years. Attorney Peter Crumpacker, the republican mayoralty candidate, has decided to operr his campaign there. The first meeting Is booked for Woycinski's hall on Towle Street for Friday evening. On Saturday night a republican meeting will be held at Hatfs hall in Robertsdale. Mr. Crumpacker will speak at both and some of the other republican candidates are also expected to be there. Inasmuch as the republican ticket is pledged to a platform which deals with the deep sewer system, canal dockage, river development and other policies of vital interest to a north side property owner and is committed to co-operate with the various improvement associations, a big attendance of taxpayers irrespective of party is looked for. In his speech of acceptance, a week ago last Wednesday, Mr. Crumpacker Indicated that he would have some thing3 to say to the voters In which they would be much interested. One thing sure; the audience will hear a statement of cold facts marshalled by an acute mind, without having to listen to any abuse and personalities. The meeting therefore promises to be doubly interesting to the taxpayer who has his own and the city's welfare at heart. - The progressives and the socialists have both tilA north side meetings al ready. Tfce republicans gave further evl dence this week that they mean busi ness . by; beginning work on the poll and In another week this Is expected to be complete. The progressives have not yet taken any steps toward mak lng up a poll list. The democrats al ready have theirs. The Indications are that there will be comparatively little naturalizing of foreigners for the Hammond cam i pE.lgn. There will be some work along this line but as compared to the neighboring cities, the latter will nat uralize ten to one Hammond's one. SHE THOUGHT IT WAS FUNNY W. S. Mitchell, superintendent of agents in the Northern States Insur ance company, sacrificed his motor car and endangered his life yesterday only to be laughed at. This cruel incident took place on quiet and sedate Charlotte avenue Mitchell was driving his machine at fair speed when an aged woman step ped from the curb, directly in his path With impulsive heroism the insur ance man shot the car over the curb. It crashed against an electric light pole, wrecking the mechanism from hood to tail light. Mitchell himself was badly bruised and suffered an intense nervous shock Imagine his surprise when the shrill laughter of an old woman reached his ears. The lady thought it funny.

In addition to the murder of Mrs. Rexroat the police are able to trace but one murder or possibly two to Spencer.

CUDAH Y PLAIT IS GROWING

The Importance of the Cudahy Pack lng company to East Chicago and Indiana Harbor is once more brought to the attention of the people, by the re cent completion of another building for the manufacture of curled hair. This department was already occupy ing three large buildings but the in crease In the business in this product necessitated more room. The last building is of mill construction and Is fifty by one hundred and fifty feet, two stories high. This branch of the Cudahy's business has doubled since the department has been in operation. It waa established here a year ago. There are now 120 people employed In the department and they turn out (Continued on page eight.) CHURCH PLANS FAIR. Whiting, ind., Oct. 8. The congre gation from St. Adelbert's Polish church on Indiana boulevard are plan ning to have a fair and bazaar In Li bert's hall on October 21, 22, 23 and 24 An Interesting feature of the fair will be a political campaign which will be conducted. Membrs from the parish will represent the various mjy oralty candidates and also the candi dates for city clerk. Thomas Cera jenski will represent Walter Schruge on the citizens' ticket, John Tokarz will represent Beaumont Parkn on the democratic 'ticket, and - John Wleczorek will represent Frank M. Long on the progressive ticket. The first night of the fair will be citizens' night, the second democratic night, and the third will be bull moose night. The city clerk representatives have not yet been chosen, but a straw vote will be taken on these nights for both mayor and city clerk, which will be counted on Friday night, and it is thought the result will have considerable bearing on the final result of the election on November 4. DENTAL THIEVES IN CHICAGO That the organized gang of dentist thieves who recently successfully op erated In the down-town district in Hammond are fearless and desperate is verified by a report that thev are now operating in the loop district of Chi cago. The office of Tuttle Bros., dental supply dealers, at 214 South State st., unicago, was roDoed early this morning. Ten sets of false teeth were stolen, also $40 worth of gold, about $10 worth of silver alloy and a number of instruments. This Is the second robbery in a year, according to O. H. Tuttle. Boone Not Worried. Dave Boone, candidate for the city council on an independent ticket, is the least worried of all men In Hammond's political arena. Dave, whom the other half of the world calls "Dan," is alone In the field. There is no one to oppose him In Maywood Park. "All I aski" says he, "la that I have health and strength so that I can go to the polls on election day and cast a vote for myself. That will give me a majority." '

yf v The relative strength, of the Gary and Hammond high, school football squads . will develop on the , gridiron next Saturday afternon when the steel city warriors will tackle the husky Morocco high school aggregation. Last Saturday afternoon Hammond's speedy team lost to Morocco by a score of 7 to Football gossip from the steel city confirms the report that the Gary high school has one of the fastest teams In the history of the school and are not the least bit doubtful, but what they will win a decisive victory from the down staters. Although this will be Gary's first big game, they have been hard at practice, for nearly a month. They have developed considerable speed and have some plays up their sleeves that will keep Morocco guessing. Hammond and Gary will do battle, two weeks from Saturday. Morocco's victory over Hammond last Saturday was not expected but beef and plenty of good luck enabled Morocco to walk away with the honors. Five times Hammond's line grazed Morocco's goal line, but fate each time, kept them from pushing the pigskin over. In the third quarter Hammond took the pigskin within two feet of Morrocco's goal, but the failure of the referee to blow his whistle for ten seconds time cost the Hammond war riors another touch down. Morocco consented to give Hammond a return game, mucn 10 ineir aengni nd a week from Saturday will make an enort to win d.ick tnir lost laureis. AUDITORA GUEST. (Special o The Times.) 1 Crown Point, Ind., Oct. 8. County Auditor Charles Johnson is to be the guest of honor at a chicken dinner which has been arranged for 6 o'clock at Burke's place at Cedar Lake this evet'ns. His colleagues In the courthouse and a few of his friends are to be hosts at the event, which Is looked to with much expectation. All arrangements were made unbeknown to him and he was not Informed of the plans until this afternoon. The affair is to be in the nature of a farewell dinner as Mr. Johnson will be in office less than three months. It would have been postponed but for the fact that later in the season the weather is unfavorable for an auto ride to Cedar Lake. A PECULIAR ACCIDENT. (Special to The Time?.) Lowell. Ind., Oct. 8. Earl Bailey. son of Charles Bailey, living in West Creek, met with a peculiar but painful accident Monday. He was driving a nail in a board and in some manner got his middle finger between the head of the nail and the hammer, which came down with such force on the finger as to drive the head of the nail clear through the fiesny part of the finger, holding him impaled to the board. He called to his mother for help. She brought a pair of snips with which she cut the nail in two next to the board. The nail was then pushed upward until the head could be caught with the snips and drawn out. The young man stood the painful ordeal heroically. If you are a Judge ot quality try a Vendor cigar. AdT

DRIVER IS BEHEADED BY TRAIN

(Special to The Times.) Crown Point, Ind., Oct. 8. Ora Van Geeson, a driver for the Hammond Brewing Company, was killed at dawn this morning by a north bound Erie freight In a wild stretch of country two miles south of Griffith. Van Geeson had been despondent for several days. Hj arose In the night and started a foot from his home in ; Crown Point toward East Chicago, his former home. He walked until dawn and then laying his head deliberately on the cold rail of the Erie main line looked squarely at an 800 pound wheel that a moment later severed his head from his body. Vltneiwe-d By Flrfmaa. A morbid intent evidently came to Van Geeson with the whistle of the train In the distance. He stopped on hi3 weary way north and waited till the train was upon him. Then step ping to the fireman's side he dived in under the first car. This the fireman saw. Though the freight was proceeding very slowly the tragedy could not be avoided. Van Geeson was 38 years of age and unmarried. His father Is said to have been a member of the East Chicago police department. Alexander Myres, a farmer living at Highland, was trapped at the Fayette street crossing of the Monon today.' He narowly escaped when the horse he was driving ran away. Myres claims that a flagman motioned for him to proceed across the tracks and that the gates were drapped on "Mnrwhe'n he did eo. One gate broke the farmer's arm and bruised his head and shoulders. His horse ran wild across the tracks. The fortunate part of the Incident is that the Monon passenger had not left the Sibley street station, two blocks away. Myres Is of the opinion that the hurried lowering of the gates was entirely unnecessary. iOrIG PLUGGER VAX BUSY Song pluggers. tall, short, lean and knock-kneed; piano-players; stooped. spectacled, big and little: and contest ' fans, eager, enthusiastic and applausive i filled the Deluxe at the first show last evening.
