BAIiOTING DEADLOCK IS PREDICTED tcontlnued trom pare oni.1 Kvans Hughes. Certain prominent outsiders, like form Senator JaJiies Hamilton Lewis, of Illinois, share this opinion, and certainly tnt-i-e lias been a considerable whispering of Hughes' name . OTIIKHS A II 17 MENTIONED Senator James K. Watson .of Indiana, is another dark horse selection and prominent republicans privatei, admit his chances arc a little bit niorey than good. Kx-President William H. Taft. Gov. Wm. Sproul. of Pennsylvania. Governor Henry J. Allen, of Kansas,; Gov. Coolidge, of Massachusetts and others are still talked of as compromise nominees, but the one now touted by political sharps as the one best bet is Albert J. Beveridge. of Indiana, with Nicholas Murray Butler, of Columbia L'niversity. second on the ticket. FEAR ItE Eli I DUE KLOtilKM K Former Senator Beveridge has been put forward as permanent chairman of the conventions and many declare this was not done by hit or miss process, but according to plan. The plan, they say, is that in the event f a deadlock the gentleman! from Indiana will rise and speak and with his eloquence straightaway capture the nomination. A bitter fight against Bevedirge is expected from the portion of the G. O. J", camp where- certain hostile tents are pitched. Just how far this opposition will go only Chicago will re cat . HAS NATIONAL R EPl'T ATI O N" Beveridge. say the whisperers, has just the bag of tricks necessary he is Johnsonian, or nearly so, on the treaty; he has a national repuiatloti; is a fine sieaker. f commanding presence, is geographically O. K., and his career has "appeal." What they mean by this is that Beveridge was born on a farm, led a life of great privation, was first a pick slinger on a railroad, then a rail splitter and teamster, i'timately battering his way to the V. S. senate and the other high places to which he attained . Today Alabama will choose 14 delegates. Oregon will select ten on Friday. On May 25 West Virginia and Texas w ill name 16 and 23 respectively and finally, one week from today Vermont will name eight . These results however, cannot materially '- ter the situation. HAMMOND'S SCHOOL PROBLEM PERPLEXING (Continued from pajfcne) in rnakinsr his appeal to the busine n'en present and pointed out condrtions that made his ast program appear, as :n fact it i.. the irred'jcable minimum if the schools are to be maintained at a proper standard. LEVY ON TINES INADEQUATE. The present year was started with a deficit of JlOO.O'in r,n . This was doubled by wase increases that were necessary -to keep the teachers from securing employment elsewhere. Then the Lincoln school burned. Out in the Maywood district the development has been so rapid that school is being held In abandoned saloons, vacant stores and whereever a room large enough for a class can be found. Thetv conditions are almost inflerable. Before the new Maywood school ean he completed the problem of providing facilities will have reached its climax. 1 HIGH .C'HOOf. NOW OUTGROWN. The industrial hish school has already reached its capacity for the units have been completed. There are 873 students enrolled there, an increase of 134 students c-ver last year. Xew wings are needed. In the elementary schools there are enrolled 4.147 students, an increase over last year of 602 pupils. In the kindergarten there are 707 pupils, an increase over last Vear of 225. These remarkable increases which reflect the growth in Hammond's population of over 70 per cent in ten years have made the presant buildings, grounds, teaching force and finances absolutely inadequate.

THE TIMES

Chairman Sims of the state board of tax commissioners to permit a tiigher levy. This they failed to accomplish with the result that the schools are not now ahle tc exist within their Income. Even the borrowing of money is difficult if not impossible for the reason that the laws prohibit a higher rate -f interest than 5 per cent and money can not be borrowed for that amount now. RBVKAI.S MANY IMPORTANT FACTS In the brief time allotted to him many important facts were brought out that enable the taxpayer to- take a more sympathetic attitude towards the great institution that is expected to produce a higher type of effii ient American citizenship. STANDARD STEEL CAR'S NEW PRODUCT (Continued Trom race one) ahead regardless of the times, because the railroads must have equipment in order to serve the country. BLEAKS BOOM TOB XAST SIDE. The Standard Steel Car Co. is Hammond's major industry. In the past it as been either a fenst or a famine for the local concern because of the ups and downs of the equipment market. It is for the purpose of straightening out the line Of production, and consequently of employment; of eliminating pcAk periods and periods of depression, that the new line.s of manufacture have been taken on. It is exrxscted that from now on the number of men employe-d at the Hammond plant will increase rapidly and that once they arc taken on they will tay employed. The labor turnover w ill be lessened. This indicates that the Standard will mean more for Hammond than ever before. Accordingly the whole Ea-st Side may be expected to benefit tremendously by the adoption of the new policy. As soon as building conditions permit the few remaining vacant lots will be built up with modern homes and development will then have to overflow to localities outside of the city. HOUSINO WILL BE SCAB.CT. These inside facts which have been divulged only recently are known to account for a great deal of the quiet activity on the pert of many individual real estate investors who, have been picking up improved income bewaring property in th close proximity to the Standard Steel Car plant. It is snid that in spite of the great building activity on the Kajt Side, greater in fact that in any other section of the city, that there is hardly a house for sale, outside of the U. S. government houses, on tne whole East Side. East Eiders will welcome back the gi eat prosperity of 1007 and of 1318 when the Standard's pay roll mounted to tiemeridous figures and the whole city benefited by the distribution of pay day money.
