WHAT OIlSTKt CTIO" MK.tJT. Some Idea of what tbwo obstructions to the development of the city n.aui may be had froju the experience of the oily bo far. Tik the Erie yard. Tears a-o a lack of foresight results In the purI'hkiia of the yards and a territory haU mile wide wh permanently re moved from possible development. The opening- of streets acrofW this property baa been persistently pre vented. The city Anally aeveiopea around this obstruction but It lies to day as a great barrier to Intercourse between the west and the east sldos of Hammond . Sohl street was prevented from be ing opened north and south, Carroll street was prevented from being: opened east and west. The few existing thoroughfares such as Hotunan street are already glutted with more traffic than they can bear. The number of men employed In these yards and the benefit to the city imm this terminal activity la more than off-set by the irreparable dam age that has been done. TUB GIBSON YARDS MISTAKE During Lawrence Becker's admin lstration the New York Central Lines Kta.hH.ived their Gibson yards. This placed across the path of East Chica go's southward development an lm passable obstacle which the hump ambv. ay never remedied. Kast Chicago's development was so restricted that it was then and there foredoomed to be but a minor center in the region's larger development. The Gibson yards were a good thing for Hammond but at trie cost of Kast Chicago's future. TUB STANDARD STEEL CAR CASE. Sometimes a community can afford to have a great obstacle placed across the path of its development if the compensating advantages are great enough. This was the case when the Standard Steel Car Company located and placed a great and impassable barrier " across the eastern limits of Hammond; a barrier which it is now proposed to remedy by a great inter city boulevard on Standard avenue. Just south of the pant, connecting up with Gary's boulevard system. (Continued on "rage seven.) SEES NO RELIEF Gary. Hammond. East Chicago and other cities In Lake county are doomed to swelter under the intense heat until the week, end when the weather man promises relief. This was his prediction early this week, however, when the mercury reached a high mark of 95 degrees. "The first three days people will not notice the heat as much as they will after that time," groaned the weather prophet mopping his brow." Buildings, streets, sidewalks and roofs will be hot after three days of torrid temperature and then the suffering will begin." "There may be a little temporary respite from a lake breeze now and then, but that will effect those living only In close proximity and those living some distance away will have to grin and bear it for several more days." Up to this hour there has been no heat prostrations in G'Jry, although as is customary throughout the summer time workmen in the hot mills are having their customary narrow escape from being overcome. There has been some suffering in the crowded tenement settlements in the foreign districts on the south side where they seek every cool spot to escape the humidity. Thousands of Garyites and out-of-town visitors sought the cool waters and breeze of Lake Michigan at Miller beach yesterday and today all beaches along the lake report record breaking crowds. The new $126,000 bath house is still progressing nicely and according to the contractors they hope to have It ready for occupancy by the first tart of next month.

THEY ARE AWAITING NEWS IN FRANCE OF CARPENTIER'S VICTORY OVER DEMPSEY
r I t:xri 'j - . Jut"-. ' ft Y This photograph sent recently from is a copy of onj France by lime. Georges Carpentier to her husband It shows the wife or the French boxing idol, who hopes to wrest the world's heavyweight championship ROAD DELUXE IS STARTED Engineers are on the ground and the surveying was begun today for the ideal section of roadway to be constructed between the cities of Dyer and Schererrille. In Lake County. The stretch of road will be the best con structed and most complete ever laid, and Is Intended to be a model for state, county and road association officials of the country and for foreAgn countries. The wonderful road will cost $100,000 per mile. Such a road, without doubt the best in every sense In the country, ir not in the world. Is well worth having, and there is hardly a county or state In the union through which the Lin coln highway passes, but which tried to obtain the stretch of ideal pave ment. The fact that the Lincoln riignway commission picked Lake County, Indiana, as tne locality for the road Is a great honor, and a distinct boost. The brunt of the expense will be born by the Lincoln Highway commission. The state will donate about $66,000 towards the cost of construc tion. The various civic and commer cial organizations throughout tne county will contribute $25,000 for the maintenance of the road. Now. it is found that $25,000 more will be needed to complete the high ly according to the original p'.ans and specifications. In order to raise this amount, a oommlttee, made up of representatives of the commercial or ganizations of the county, has been ap pointed. This committee will go to Indianapolis and appeal to the gov ernor and to tne state Doarn oi accounts to allow the county to donate this money. As far as the committee can find there is no law against such procedure. Should this appeal be denied, how ever, tne committee win auenipi raise the money by some other method. If it cannot be obtained, the only recourse will be to cut the cost of the construction by eliminating some fea ture of the road. Feeling, perhaps, that these are ex traordinary times, when money Is hard to obtain end economy Is in order, many people have protested againut this great expenditure for a ."hort stretch of road. A. M. Turner, of Hammond, speaking at the Chamber of Commerce Thursday noon, brought out the fact that the benefits derived from the road by the county will far outweigh the heavy expense. The greatest economy may be obtained by dong the experimenting now. When times are normal, the cost of such a road will be halved, and grat highwas may be built on the same plan at a comparltively low cost. The big point s, to get the experimenting over with as soon as possible. In his talk before the Chamber, Mr. Turner pointed out that the Ideal road would probably be completed by tha end of the present year. Work will be started at once, and the preliminary survey Is now under way. HERO'S BODY ON WAY HOME Mrs. Catherine James, 1066 Ray avenue, Hammond, received official notication today from the war department that the body of her son, David James, had been shipped from France and would arrive In New York soon.

FOURTH Harrison Park to Be Scene of Picnic and Celbration. Hammond people are to have an opportunity to celebrate the Fourth of July at home this year. The SpanishAmerican War veterans are planning an all-day affair at Harrison Park. There Will be races and games, music, dancing and fireworks at night. The dance pavilion is to be In charge of the American Legion and will be on of the features of the "old-fashior.ei Fourth." THIS WHAT THE MABBE HEAT The Rotary club picnic in the Cook County Forest Preserve last night did not lack salient features. It was a real party from start to finish. The big stunt, however, was the baseball game played between the Rotating Terrors, captained by Julius Meyn. which Insured a win, and the Loquacious Leopards, captained by Wes Elstun. The score was 36 to 6, the rotating Terrors scoring the majority o the runs. The score was compiled after a long and arduous mathematical calculation by the winning- team. The losers, while thoy did not protest the result, insist that an actuary table was rung in to obtain the total. The entire team starred for the win. ners. The Leopards wern furnished enthusiastic if futile support from their catcher, George Chapln, who attempted In vain to trip up the opposition as they wore deep paths around the -bases. Coman Scott, on the slab for the winners, was invincible throughout the game. Hia twirling was as mysterious to the Leopards as was the flnal socre. On the other hand. Major Neville was freely hit, and after a couple of wild frames was yanked in favor of Doc Sharrer. It was too late, however. The damage had boon done. The outstanding features of the game was Doc Smith's fielding at second, and George Hmnuut-r's shoe. string and necktie cati'he The only injury of the contest was suffered by Verne Summers, who attempted to eliminate one of the opposition by strong armed methods. He received an injury to his ankle. The winners, however, concede the verbal honors to the losers. According to them, the Leopards had a preponderance pull with the umpires. The lineup was as follows: Rotating Terrors, ZG. S ;mmers. c.; Scott, p.; Thompson. 1st: G. 1- .Smith. 2nd; Tennant, 3rd; lieatty. ss. ; Meyn, If.; See, cf.; Reese, rf. and Hannauer, utility.

The declaration of his program that labor should receive the same return from investment in "labor energy" as ca.pital from financial investment will be. the basis of tho program of legislative action to be drafted and published by executive council K3 a result of yesterday's vote, railroad union ledersi announced today a campaign will be inaugurated among tho metal trades to include the steel industry in the drive, it was ntated. n. vyurs thilmph. The vote marked the second great triumph of tho railroad unions in opposition to Samuel Gomper's polVciea. the victory being as overwhelming as that which resulted in the endorsement of tha Plumb plan by last year's convention. With most of the commltteea having concluded their reports, the convention on resuming its sessions today endeavored to tpeed up work to ad -journ. uy Saturday. The only big fight predicted now on the floor of the convention outside of the lection contest will come on international relations. There will be heated opposition to the executive council's report announcing severance of relations with European labor Attempts will be made to repudiate the action of the council In Its "refusal to re-affiliate with the International Federation of Trade Union on the ground that the policies of that body are dictated by the "Reds." GOMPKRS IS CHARGED. The committer report upholding this action will be- presented to the convention today together with an unfavorable report on resolutions demanding re-affiliation with the international federation. The International Association of Machinists, which introduced one of the resolutions, holds Gompers' policies responsible- for severance of relations with European labor. The election is expected to be held tomorrow. Most of tho forecasts prophesy tho re-election of Samuel Gompers. The supporters of John L. Lewis continue to be confident of victory. They claim at least 20.000 of the S8.000 votes to be cast while the Gompers camp claims more than 23.000. Tho electrical workers union with moro than one, thousand votes, has de clared for Gompers. Definite announcement that Martin Ryan of Kansas City, president of the Brotherhood of Railroad Carmen, is pledged to Gompers shows a split fn tne rail unions over the election. The International La-lies' Garment Makers Union wil lalso cast its vote for Gompers . According to the Gompers me-,.
