DeUvrd toy TIKES Carrier la Hammond and West Hammond, 50c Per Month. On Streets and New Stands, 3o Per Copy. Is Plan To Be Put Through By Government Administration.? BY W. H. ATKINS 'STAFF CORRESPONDENT I. N. SERVICE WASHINGTON. April 20. -Oal prices for consumers probably will be t educed through biwer freight rates. This was a plan which administration leaders today virtually had d-cided to put through without delay. The pur-p-se is to slash tho burdensome costs of coal, both anthracite and bitum'nous, so that Industry may be stimulated, and to give nouf'Mcrs opportunity to store away winter euppliea of fuel. AtiRMix. JVM or cAns The Interstate commerce commission 1 armed at the Jai.i of i.-Ue car equipment on the railroad?, is ready to f'-ct as soon as congressional authority ts fUn. The necessary authority will come under the provisions o'f the Fr"linghuysen bill authorizing: the commission to establish coal freight Tales, with big- reductions for a pen"d of months during the spring and summer sifon. HOW fT WOVI4) BEEF!T. Officials of the commission for some time have agreed that "seasonal" c-yts In the coal freight rates would greatly benefit In the industrial situation, and wlU result In lower costs to consumers generally, but the commission, decldin.tr that its power does not extend so far a.s to make reductions merely "seasonal" Is now awaiting acton by congress. Chairman Clark has indicated that he favors this step, nnd it is understood the commission will order lower rates with the passage and signing of the Mil now p-nding. RAIL FOR IT. Rati executive are almost a unit for the coal rate reductions It Is said, on tho theory that It will stimulate buyitig of coal during the ordinarily slaefc months for winter need.', and thus give the reads a chance to utilize the thousands of coal cars now lying idle i n side tracks for lack of traffic.

They called attention of the merchants to the strength of the unions and suggested the agreements with the clerk b signed. As an alternative it was stated that the unions of the city would orb:d their m'-mbers to trade at the stores and would fine members who did so. One of these, more lengthy than the others, came from the Central Labor Union. The plaintiffs then Introduced several oopis of the Central T,abor Vnion NV? containing articles bearing upon the trouble between the unions and the stores.

GOLF BUG SIS ! Friends of County Treasurer Ralph Bradford Wonder How It Will End SPECIAL 10 THE TIMES! CROWN l'OINT. Ind.. Auril 10. about the trouble between Ralph Bradford and his wife. The affair became generally known when it was reported that several c-f the window panes in the Bradford home had benij broken from the inside. There was some talk In the official, family of going over enmasse and making Ralph behave but Mac Koland, one of Brad's closest triends, stopped the mob by a spet-oh appealing to their second Judgment. An investigation brought out the following facts and explained the difficulty. It seems that Ralph has the golf hujr and that he recently purchased a complete set of clubs. When the cold wave hit the county last week Krad wasn't content to wait until the proper golf weather so he began practicing inside. It is said he chopped holes in the carpet with his clubs and drove bails through the windows, and that Mrs. Bradford entered a protest. Now of course this comes from Billy Rose and must bo taken with a few reservat Ions. PUT QUIETUS ON A WILD REPORT C. & O. Not to Resume Operations on Abandoned Line niTe was a wild report current on the streets this morning to the effect that the Chesapeake & Ohio railroad ! was elout to resume operations on its abandoned line through the south side residential section of the cty. The report was to the effect that a man whose father lived In Teru. Ind., knew some C. & O. officials who said tbat the C. ,fc O. now had as its president an IIUnots Central man who Intended running Into Chicago over the Illinois Central instead of tho Western Indiana and that the old lino was to bo used to make connection with the Illinois Central. The story sounded fishy but Roscoe E. Woods, president of the Hammond & Suburban Realty Co., called Hnry C. Ptafr) g-neral counsel of the C. fr O. of I. at Richmond, Tnd., to see what basis there was for the story. The facts as stated by Mr. Starr arc as follows: The beard of directors did not meet in Tern. The new president of the rc.id haa not 1 o.-n Willi tho Illinois 0;i'rU for 15 t;irs. He comes from tiio dcal.oard Air Line. Ho far as he knows the Hammond situation remains unchanged. The tul k was characterize J as "e;in 1 houso" KC'SSip. The C. & O. of I. has no connection v.ilIi 'he Illinois Central whatsoever. Su.-me time tigo. a similar report wan circulated and run down by Mr. Woods. Thi3 ruort was to the effect that on account of tho need of some additional freight house facilities that tha C. & O. would re-open its abandoned litis and j str.rt operating again. A. S. Kent, tho chief engineer of the Motion was called on the phon- at lil.s Chicago office and asked whether or nut ha hod heard anything about plati3 to reopen tho C. & O. crossing at Kenwood avenue. Mr. Kent said that not only was there no talk of re-opening this Mossing but that the Monon would not permit a crossing at this point again. Then A. M. PeWceso was asked If hehad heard anything of a report that tho C. & O. of I. had tken steps to cancel its lease over tho Krie. Mr. LVWecse who Is the local afjent of the Krie and in close touch with nil matters affecting Hammond, said that the ateiry had positively no foundation in fact. 11" s:iid he did not believe there was any possible chance that the C. A- G. of I. was contemplating another route into Chicago. Thus tho story at this time does not seem to have any foundation in fact. Along the route of his road are hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of fine homes which would ho greatly depreciated In value were the road to be opened for traffic again. According to the property owners in this section, the rumors do emphasize the necessity for making a permanent solution of the C. & O. menace; a solution that will pre-clude its use at anytime for railroad purposes. Tearing up the rails, as has been frequently suggested, would not solve the problem. The right-of-way must be aco,u!r'! by local property owners and convolved to private uses. The railroad by years of stalling ha boon able to preserve a semblance of riarht to the property It holds between Hammond and Calumet Park. Thes rights, if valid, must be purchased; if invalid must be terminated. PARENTS DRUNK NEGLECT CHILDREN Juvenile authorities In Gary are making a rigid investigation Into the charges reported to the police yesterday relative to a mother and father, who are drunk most of the time and neglecting three children, the eldest. 16 years old, who has been forced to run the f-mall ern eery store and attend to other duties of the household. The case is one cf the most pitiful that has been called to the attention of the police In many months.

Hammond has made its appropriation of $500 to help defray expenses of the court fight against the Increase in rates by the Illinois Bell Telephone Co. The ordinance providing the money was passed by the city council last night. While the cities of the region have ail d-ecided to put up a fight by appealing the decision of the Public .Service Commission, a plan of concerted aotion has not been worked out. The city attorneys held a meeting and talked things over but no definite decision was readied. Mayor Brown said last night that he had written the mayors of Gary, Lart Chicago and Whiting asking what action had been taken by their councils but no answers had been received to his inquiries. The Rhode avenue sidewalk matter was brought up again last night but discussion was brief.

Later In the evening the ordinance was placed before the council and was held up on second reading, when 6 voted "no."

Another ordinance appropriated over $2,000 to pay for the ornamental lights located on city property along Calumet avenue. The council passed the ordinance ratifying the contract between the cities i! Hammond and Whiting whereby Whiting's pumping station will" handle the sewage from the P.obertsdale district. An appropriation of J2.50O was made to cover the expenses connected with the issuing and sale of $l0t',000 worth of municipal serial bonds. After a vehement address in which he referred to the shoot. ng of C!eo Duttor by Officer Wright Sunday morning in strong terms. Alderman Heckleman made a cumbersome motion calling for more efficiency In the Hammond police department. The motion was received In silence and a no one offered a second, Louie settled back in his chair.
