Innocent Looking.

A nice little ordinance was introduced Into the Gary common council last night by Alderman William S. Feuer. vice president of the Gary Commercial club and one of the residents of town who has bought more or less Broadway lots from the Illinois Steel Company's sister subsidiary, the Gary Land company. 'Tis to Impeach: Mr. Feuer's little ordinance Is very Innocent looking: and provides for a permanent committee of three aldermen to look after "Investigations" and what "impeachment" proceedings that may come before it. The legislation was read and then ordered referred to the present investigation committee. Who's To Be Impeached f It may be stated here that if part of 'the council cr patriots outside the council. wanted to get the mayor or any official impeacher they couldn't do It now as the council has not impeachment rules as required by statute.

WHAT OF SEWER PROBE?

Several Gary and Chicago politicians and contractors are said to be on the anxious seat as the result of the probe being conducted by the Gary grand jury into the $250,000 west side sewer contract, which finally was fanded by the Illinois Improvement and Ballast company, contractors to the steel trust. A number of city officials and contractors have been subpoenaed before the jurors, and witnesses have been ordered to bring official rcords. It will not be surprising if a batch of indictments are returned, as nastycharges of collusion among contractors have been made.

Hammond Ball Park. Hammond vs. Merrimacs, Wednesd.iv, July 4. 6":a-5 WHY L0VER10GE TRIED TO BUBBLE THE FENCE

Jack Loveridge, back in Hammond with the Jack Bessey show under can. vas, admits that the life of an umpire is hard and the fans and players are often unjust. Hereafter when he adorns a box at the Sox park as is his wont if the hose are at home. Jack will speak more kindly of the umpire. It appears that the stock company players and house attaches including Advance Man Schultz, were playing the moving picture employes at Decatur, 111., a few days ago. Loverldge was the urr.pore. He got along nieely during- the first Inning which lasted half an hour but in the second made a grave error. The batter hit to short and raced to first. He reached the bag as the first baseman gathered the ball into his mitt. Umpire Loveridsre never hesitated with his decision. "It's even," he shouted. "Go back and bat over again." They caught Jack just as he was trying to do a Douglas Fairbanks over the fence. Which re rails another trouper story. The house manager of the theatre where the slock company was to start an enaagement broke in on a rehearsal. He was new to the game having been In the practice of law until fate dropped a theatre into his lap to manage. "What's the name of the play?" he demanded of one of the rehearsing performers. "Hokum", same the reply. Now "Hokum' is an expression of the craft meaning "Jazz" if you know what "jazz" means. An actor who has to fall down to get a laugh or hit another actor in the face with a pie is doing "Hokum." Ix-gltimate actors don't do it. Imagine the chagrin of the stock company players when they saw on the electric sign in front of the theatre that night this announcement: "ORPHEUM STOCK COMPANY IX HOKUM."

AMERICANISM AND ITS IDEALS By RET. DX. B. K. ROSENOAH.D (Rabbi Congregation Beth-Al.)

(We wish to commend to our readers the lofty sentiments embodied !n the following .conception of true Americanism on this our natal evening and take the position that none can excel the learned rabbi in his idea of what this country stands for. EDITOR.) On July the 4th. 1778. Congress

unanimously and amid the unbounded

rejoicings of this great commonwealth, declared the Independence of the United States. That was a great and evermemorable day; yea, an event of farreaching significance, whose potentialities and implications for the freedomloving American people, were incalculable. Our sires worked out unconsciously a new scheme of salvation for the entire human family. We look with admiration nnd grati

tude upon the patriotism and indomit

able resolution of those men whom

I'rovidenci! has selected a.s instruments

of a great work. They were builders.

noble and true, of a great social ethical and political edifice that is destined to

stand for all time as a great beacon

light, affording enlargement and enfranchisement, freedom and unrestrict

ed equality to all sentient men- and

women dwelling on her mighty contl nent.

The glorious Fourth, affords food for

serious and sober reflection for study

and inward contemplation. It induces the wholesome tnought, that this great

nation is conscious of their destiny and

of the tremendous responsibilities confronting them, of justifying the incalculable endowment of Freedom and Independence, before the tribunal of their

side. The popularity of Douglas Fairbanks was never more evident in Hammond. The audiences howled their delight at hi.9 newest release, "Wild and Wooly," which is perhaps one of the best comedies in which he has yet appeared on the - screen. There is action from the opening to the fade-out and new antics that only Doug could perform. It appears that he leaps higher and farther, smiles wider and longer, and shoots quicker and straihter than ever before. lie breaks his own record for the standing broad smile. "Wild and Wooly" is shown again tonight. . "Marvelous Maciste," a six-part photodrsraa, is the bill-for tomorrow.

fifiPICO PLEASES

The Ptraube Piano & Music Co. has just received the wonderful Amplco. The personality of the world's great technician, Leopold Godowskl, playing the Pagannlnl "La Campanella," is wholly humaji. The Ampico almost does the impossible. Unless the listener accidentally sees this Instrument playing, he will conclude that it Is a human being using the full resources of tone couor and artistic shading while being charmed with Paderewski's "Minuet" played by Clarence Adler. The Ampico actually reproduces the playing of the artist to such a degree that it deceives experts. Every beautiful phase, every captivating nccent which the artist Interprets into his carefully interwoven theme Is lacking only by the absence of the performer at the piano his real self In expression is In your presence. The AmpHco is alone In Its sphere. Until a short time ago such an Instrument was considered an impossibility. Just as the Vlctrola reproduces exactly what it hears, the Amplico reproduces the playing of great pianists, except that the Amplico is a life-size piano operated by electricity. Even to an encore the Amilico wIl repeat its clever performance for hours without assistance. Hammond music lovers should hear the Amplico while on exhibition at Straube's In this city. It is of more than common interest. It Is worth while.
