mWUii Hi , tan If Beaten for Receivership City Will Ask for Mandate In September. Petition for a. receiver for the Hammond, Whiting & East Chica-' go Street Railway Co., was filed; shortly before noon today in the circuit court at Crown Point by Attorney W. W. McMahon, representing the ctiy of Hammond. Judge Norton immediately set the matter for hearing nest Tuesday. The application for the writ of; mandamus charges the company j with neglect and failure to comply with the terms of the franchise j granted in 1904. The appointment! of a receiver is asked in order that the lines may be operated pending i the litigation. j As only injunction an.3 receivership ' ; ; oceedings are considered emergency j "..-es of sufficient Importance to be '-fird during court vacation, the man- j ':'inu.3 suit will not come up until the pening of the September term which, v. ill be September 8. This means that unless soms other ! ngreemer.t can be reached in the con-j tr-jversy, Hammond, Vhltingr and East 1'Iiicago will continue without street; car service until next Tuesday and pos- j Mbly longer. It is .said that the decision . .f Attorney McMahon to file the suits ! was reached following a meeting: of the ! -venth ward improvement association; last night at which the matter was dis- I cussed. . j It is possible that Hammond. Whiilr.gr 1 and East Chicago will be w ithout street i car service until after September S. ! The following letter was adUrcsse.'! j ur)ay by President Talrnadgc to the I mayor and common council of the city j cf Hammond: "On the assumption that the action t t-iken by the Council t.n the 15th. instant in denying the petition of the Hammond.

I feel prompted to call our attention to the facts and condi tions wheih have brought about n suit-: pension of service by tho Company and; to submit certain matters for your j earnest consideration in an effort to put j an immediate end to the grreat inconvenience and loss that the public is suffering for lack of transportation.

The reii.ii grocer ha3 nothing to fear and ls to hide. He welcomes the long-deferred Investigation, confident that he has everything to gain and nothing to lose, as a result. There r.3jr be isolated cases of piofitaeriay in the retail business, but, as a class, the grocer is in the opan, doinT business cn a narrow margin of profits, and anxiously concerned in hehalf of the consumer, whose burden cf anxiety he has shared through many try. inz months, both from personal con. tact and a full realization that selfishness and greed have been permitted to hola sway, where decency and good government called aloud, but in vain, fcr redress. Xvery observer kr.cvrs there hes been prcfiteerins'. speculation in the necessities, but it is clear, too, that these offences have s;ct- characterized the little fellow, in the TsuEincis world. And it remiins to bo seen whethsr the demand of public sentiment is sufficiently strong to effect those who are actually guilty.
