and a number of them spoke amid a loud applause. ATTV. ( Rl.M PACKER'S SPEECH. Attorney Fred Crumpacker, representing the street car company was present and placed the street car company's situation before the council He reviewed the facts that last ytir the lines hauled about 8.000.000 passengers; that the wage increase vould add $89,000 to the expense to the company and that under the present rate of fare the company could not meet this added expense. A six-cent fare he said would not be sufficient and a seven cent fare would not be 1 i 1 i i . 1 1 1

too much as had been declared by many. Estimates of experts, he said, showed that with each boost in fare came a corresponding- decrease In the number of passengers hauled Thus it iia-d been figured that a two-cent increase would only brinj It from thirty to sixty per cent of the theoretical increase or from J4S.O00 to $9,000 iostead of $160. 00. Mr. Crumpacker was kept on the floor a large portion of the eveningQuestions were fired at him from all sides. Where he had the facts at hand to answer them he did so and where he was acquainted witk features askd about, he told them so. TVAVTS TO SEE A RECEIVER Alderman Bruce in his closing argument declared that the testimony

of the company before the public utilities commission showed that the line was making money. He advocated

refusing the Increase which would

force the company into the hands of

a receiver and give con-.pettr.t persons an opportunity to show that the property could be operated at a profit. However, the major;! the

j councilmen did not wish the I street car employes rr.a- zoat. 1 The Hammond men are s-r r , i ,. orking I at an old schedule while Chu-.iKo men

have the new rate. Hammond men working between the cities are paid the old rate for the time they put in on the Indiana side of the state line and the new rate while in Illinois. The wage increase will not be granted they say unless the seven cent fare becomes effective. BHIC E VOTED DOWN la order to keep the matter open. Alderman Bruce's first motion was voted down after which Alderman,

IntocKer miroaucea a mouon to r.ave a committee of five appointed by the

Mayor to meet with the street car of

ficials to see what concessions can be obtained from the company in exchange for the fare Increase. The motion carried and there the matter now stands.

Operation Successful; Father Jansen Improving. Reports from e bedside of Father Jansen who underwent an operation at the Mercy Hospital in Gary yesterday, state that his operation was successful and that he is setting- along- as well as can be expected today. He is in charge of Dr. Moorehead of Chicago and Dr. T. B. Templin of this city.

ICE QUESTION RAISED AGAIN. Besides the strike and H. C. L., the Ice controversy in Gary is aga'n in the limeligfiht When the contemplated raise to $1.00 a hundred was announced a month ago it became the topic of conversation. With the appearance of the strike and the H. C. L. investigations, it was thrown into the discard, but since the investigating commltee got busy it has been token up again with renewed vigor. Whether or not the city will be able to do anything with the ice question this year is not probable. A conference was held with Sidney Metzel of the Pure Artifical Ice Company yesterday.
