29 LOTS ARE SOLD II MAYWOOD SALE YESTERDAY

With nothing but the property Itself i to attract people to the sale Hast- I lng-s. Woods & Company sold twenty- j nine lots In the Hammond Realty Company's additions to Hammond yesterday between the hours of ten and five. The total receipts from the sale were over J10.000 which marks It as one of the most successful affairs of Its kind that have been held In this community In recent years. In. addition to the direct sales there will be at least twenty more lots sold this week as a result of the crowds that came out to view the property. At no time were there more th-'in seventy-five to one hundred people on the grounds but all of them were Interested. Four salesmen were at work with the actual sale of property and a lot was sold at the rate of one every fifteen minutes. The first sale was made to C. A. Massa.ro within .-five minutes after the sale begran and before noon the entire south side of Bauer street had been sold out. The rest of the sales were scattered over the entire addition. Willis R. Ford," the president of the East Side Improvement Association, who thoroughly approves of the man ner In which the property Is being restricted, was one of the first purchasers and bought two large lots with frontages on May and Bauer streets. In fact scores of the residents of Maywood. who have received the benefit of the advertising that Hastings, Woods and Company, have given their J district, strolled over to show a friendly interest the sale to v in the pro- I NEWSPAPER BABY BORN The Hammond Progressive, a partisan weekly published in Chicago, was circulated free throughout the downtown district Saturday evening. From the pruss agent's standpoint the Progressive is good publicity, or at least a good medium. Critical surveillance of its contents, however, does not reveal anything of a startling aspect. Both The Times and the Hammond Daily News receive special notice. The Progressive devoted Its columns to pictures of bull moose candidates, bank advertisements and space fillers. It is printed on a good quality of papers. 1 sfull sized and bears the union label. The paper Is editorial throughout. The Progressive starts by lamenting the fact that neither of the daily pa pers, IS IU1I Sizea unu uena mo It announces that It will conduct a campaign of education. It goes from the salutation and bow to questioning the sources of campaign funds and bragging that the party it represents will not assess candidates. In a seven-column head the Progressive urges that the city hall be cleaned out. The reasons given are as follows: ' "1. The democratic party has been In continuous control and power since ,1904. Long tenure of office causes distrust and lack of interest in handling the city's business." "J. City affairs are run In the Interest of the democratic party." The vote in the recent democratic primaries conclusively shows that a majority of the democrats themselves believed this .for the combined vote cf Howat and McMahon exceeded that of Smalley." "4. The administration is controlled and run by a political machine, the city council decides all Important questions in secret and 'starr chamber sessions." Speak to I. H. Employes. Marcus A. Dow, general safety agent of the New York Central Lines, will speak in a hall over the Orpheum theater this evening to an assemblage of C- I. & S. and I. H. Belt empolyees. The question of "Safety First" is being handled by hired experts for the big railroads now following a series of exposures by the press of this country. It now overshadows the matter of speed. A series of five minute talks on "The Part of the Employee in a campaign for Greater Safety" will be given. The speakers are Alfred Simons, candidate for mayor on the progressive ticket; Lewis Walge, locomotive engineer; George Newlin, conductor; and C. E. Carlson, switchman. Simons is a machinist. There will also be a musical program. A special train is to run from Franklin Park. COMMITS SUICIDE. Believed to have been intoxicated and in a despondent mood, William Zuor, employed on the Green line as a

Ject. A large number of the sales were made to people who own property In Maywood which indicted the faith the

people of that district have in the property. It Is very likely that If more spectacular means had been used to get out a promiscuous crowd that the subdivision would have been sold without difficulty. Members of the firm of Hastings, Woods & Co., expressed themselves as being very much pleased with the sale and have no doubt that the next few days will witness the sale of most of the remaining lots In the subdivision. Today they announce that lots In the subdivision .will continue to be sold during the present week at yesterdays prices. Then next Sunday they will be on the ground all day as was the case yesterday. After that the ten percent increase which was announced in Saturday' ad will go into effect. ' The reason for this Is that scores of people had not considered, seriously, the purchase of property in Maywood until they went out Sunday and looked over the property and for one reason or another they could not close up that day. To give these people a chance to come In and get t'ne lots they want at the sale prices the increase will not go Into effect until a week from today. While there was not a crowd on the property at any one time It Is believed that during the day there were at least 1,000 people over the property. Tt demonstrated conclusively the effectlveness of Times advertising. Loses Her Purse. Mrs. John CVKeefe of Stieglitz Park reported the loss of J20 this morning to Officer John Schadt of the Hammond police department. The woman stated that she was on a shopping ex pedition In Hammond and that she first discovered her loss when she endeav ored to pay for an article she had pur chased in a locil store. She is not certain whether she had lost the money or whether pickpockets had deprived her of it while she was a passenger on a street car. Many Attend Service. Over a thousand Lutherans from Hammond, West Hammond, East Chi cago, Whiting and Oary were in at tendance at the Lake Forest dedlca tory services. They composed one thirtieth of the crowd. While six services were being held on the sloping campus pickpockets worked In dro-es. They sifted through the bowed church people during prayer ajid reaped a harvest In coin and watches. Three or four hundred were robbed, it is reported. In spite of this unpleasant feature the dedication was a great success. A train of special cars attached to the regular 8:48 Lake Shore suburban carried five hundred from Hammond alone. They were In plenty of time for the opening at noon. An army was on the grounds at 9 o'clock, however, laborer, succeeded in his attempt to commit suicide Saturday evening when he laid across the street car tracks near Gruener's grove on Sheffield avenue and was killed by a Chicago car. His body was badly mangled and death was evidently instantaneous. Little Is known of the man's life with the exception that he came from Gary a number of months ago and has j since been employed on the Green line as a laborer. He was known among his fellow workmen as a heavy drinker and often after he would receive his pay he drank up his earnings and wouia stay intoxicated tor a week at a time. Previous to his death he had been drinking hard and was heard to remark that he wished he was dead. His horrible attempt at suicide was made fifty feet north of Gruener's grove Saturday evening about 8:30 o'clock. His body was struck by Car No. 828 I and was found badly mangled lying j between- the first and second wheel of the right front truck. Motorman Hume saw the form of a man lying across the rails, but was not able to bring the car to a stop before the wheels had passed over Zuzor's body. The Impact of the car and uzor's body threw the front trucks of the ear off the rails, causing quite a jar to the car and almost throwing the passengers Into a panic. Traffic was not deloyed but a short time, as passengers were transferred to another car. Zuzor's remains were removed to Burns' morgue. It is thought that he has a brother living in Chicago and an effort is being made to locate him today. A WANT AD IN THE TIMES 13 CRTH TWO IN ANT OTHER PATER.

Two thousand citizens, led by Frank Callahan and the other candidates on the Citizens ticket, tramped through the streets of Indiana Harbor for two hours Saturday night, filled with enthusiasm for the success of the party animated by admiration for the man who scorned the pretentious seat and ultra-exclusiveness of a chauffeured automobile and walked on the level with his fellow man. It was about eight o'clock when the special train from East Chicago unloaded four to five hundred men at the corner of Guthrie artd Michigan ave nues. Several large delegations from various wards had aiready arrived at the Citizens' headquarters ana as soon as the East Chicago men came up in line, the formation of the march began. A brass band surrounding a large American flag led the procession while just behind came Callahan supported by Harmon, Fuzy, Richards, Steele, Karmilovlch, Maxwell, and several leaders of the party.

SGOVILLE MEETING

WONDER

Those whose ears are not offended by a frank discussion of the reciprocal rights and equitable standards of the Christian religion will do well to be present at the Calumet avenue Church of Christ tonight, tomorrow night or the next. For a limited time Charles Reign Scovllle is electrifying Hammond. In doing so he utilizes an inspired native talent, years of training and experience, and a splendid constitution. Scoville's personality and magnitism form a convincing medium tor tne presentation of the gospel. Flftr-Fonr Antiwer First Invitation. Over half a hundred fifty-four to be exact confessed their 'sins before man and God yesterday following the Scovllle sermons. It is expected of the evangelist that he will accomplish in six nights what the" ordinary man in his business would in a rrotracted effort of that many weeks. For this reason, among others, he is known as America's leading sane evangelist. He will" leave the Hammond 'Christian church at concert pitch, glowing with enthusiasm and renewed vitality and not combed dry and tired out. Jrlnceii Arlene IJux Scovllle Sing. Arlene Dux Scovllle, the divine's charming helper, swelled hearts with emotion by her singing. Big meetings, a trip around the world and weeks in a New York conservatory have tried and tested her voice. As a result she has a sustained tone as true as a lark's and as clear as the nightingale's song. Scovllle is not eccentric or vulger, but entirely original. His minds travels In advance of what he is saying. As Bishop McDowell stated, "He does not speak the glad tidings of damnation and acts as if he Is glad of it." In a sermon last evening before a packed auditorium Scovllle spoke the word "God" only a few times, and then in reverence and he said "Hell" but once and then with tears in his eyes.
