BIG LOSS IN TRAFFIC

REPORTED

H. W. S E. St. Ry. Appears Before Public Service Commission In Hammond Today. Losses in traffic, almost unbelievable to persons who have paid little attention to the street cars, were shown in reports which were filed this morning by the H. w. & E . C. Street Railway Co.. when the hearing on the company's petition for a continuance of the 8 cent fare was hld before Glenn Van Auken of the Public Service Commission. Industrial depression in the Calumet region has hit the Harr.mcnd-East Chicago line particularly hard. In thd first five months of the year the number of passengers carried mis line was S43 S43 less than In the same period lat year. The State Line to Hammond and State Line to East Chicago lines did better. They showed gams of 45 023 and 31,201 respectively during the period, making the net loss for the system 247.615. Traffic nis slumped even worse In the la-st few months. In the first 26 days of June, the report shows the system carried 170,523 Uss passengers than in the same 26 days last year. A total of 3,309.166 passengers were carried during the first five months of 1921. However gloomy the outloo. trie company had one consolation. It did not have to pay income tax for 1920. The figures showed a net loss of $29,0'i0 for the year. These facts were placed before xne commissioner by W. W. Hill, auditor for the company, who was the first witness called by Attorney Fred Crumpacker. The city of Hammond was represented by Attorney W. W. McMahon, Whiting by Attorney John Hall and Oscar Meek cf the Commercial Club, and East Chicago by Attorney M. E. C'rites. Several aldermen and other interested citizens of Hammond wore present. Before the hearing opened Attorney McMahon filed an answer in which he took a stand for local loop service for Hammond. Mr. Van Auken 'was of the opinion that this should be brougrht before the commission after the city council had passed an ordinance to that effect, now that the street arilway company has surrendered its franchise to the commusun. Mr. McMahon intimated that the city's objections to a continuance of the 8 cent fare mig-ht be dropped in case an agreement could be reaches w ith the company whereby the establishment of the loop city service would be assured. Mr. Van Auken advrsed him to get in touch with the company officials aside from the hearing and in case they got together, to bring in a recommendation. "When the hearing adojurned at noon Auditor Hill had completed the work of identifying the numerous exniolts and explaining how the different figures were arrived at. It was expected that President O. G. Talmadge would be the principal witness this afternoon and much interesting information touching upon plans of the company was looked for.

SMITHSON RETAINED

Board Of Arbitration Member Says Case Is Not Yet Settled. Smithson Case Not Settled, Says Zeller Chicago Heights. Ii!.. June 23. 1921. Editor of The Times; Some time In January or February. 1921. I was visited by a group of men representing the Christian church In Hammond, who informed me that the'e was some trouble brewing in the church over rcmors regarding the minister. Later Rev. Smithfcon came to see me and toid me cf the situation and I advised him to resign rather than fight, for his own good and that j of the church. j It seemg that the open break came! at the annual congregational meeting ; and there seemed no way out but ar- j Duration. On the request of Rev. Smithson. j signed May 5, 1921, I agreed to act as I arbitrator in his behelf. Rev. C. G. I Kindred was chosen by the board of j elders. This action of the elders was! ratified by unanimous vote of the con- I grogation May 11. 1921. It was agreed that Rev. Kindred and myself should ohow a third minister and that we should at our own convenience, as provided in the fifth paragraph of the agreement, make the investigation. After being refused by a number of ministers, who said they did not care to be drawn into this "scrap'' we finally succeeded in getting Dr. Grafton of the third church in Indianapolis to serve with us. One June 20, 1921, the committee met at the Mce hotel and looked through affidavits and heard many witnesses personally. About 4 p. m. it was suggested that Row Smithson be called in for conference in the discussion. At that time it was suggested that the best way out would be for Rev. Smithson to resign. Parties of both factions were called In and the proposal was made that "the siate be wiped clean" and that all the officers of the church. at well as Mr. Smithson resign in the interest of harmony and the good of all concerned. In iew of this turn of affairs, the board of arbitrators agreed not to report a finding and that the board of arbitrators call a congregational meet ing to receive tr.e resignations c.f R.?v. Smithson and the officers of the vhu'reh. Rev. Smithson caiic-d up the day after the meting of the arbitration boa: d and asked me when we wanted tiic meeting. We agreed upon Monday. Juno 2" as the date and it was understood that Rev. Kindred and myself should act as moderators rf the mooting. Upon my arrival at the church I was informed that a "plan'1 had been made .'ind the meeting was to be in charge of one of "our men." I strenuously 'bjected to this procedure as did Rev. Kindred and we both emphatically declared we had no report as a committee because of our understanding however our advice was not heeded and we were "discharged" by a group of folks who were supposed to be there for another purpose. In order to carry out our contract the committee will no doubt make a rfport of its findings an.l it remains to be seen if they will abide by the agreement to "abide by the findings." A. I. ZELLER, Member of Board of Arbitration. The congregation of the First Christ ian church revolted last right. The board of out-of-toivn ministers appointed to try the Rev. Clarence M. Smithson for alleged "indiscretions" was discharged. The controlling officers of the church were "fired" by an almost unanimous vote and the R.e-. Smithson was extended a rising vote 0 confidence. He will be retained a& the pastor of the church. 6K3 MXaEBE3 PEESEKT The meeting was taken out C'f the hands of the board of arbitration by which it was called and it was evident I from the outset that the audience of approximately six hundred members had little sympathy for the visiting clergy who had heard the evidence against the pastor at the private trial a week ago. The agreement that the j pastor and officrs of the church re- j sign was ignored "b ythe congregation j which with the exception of twentyone members, including the officers who were discharged, appeared to bo determined to retain the pastor. These twenty-one members withdrew frvn the meeting after the anti-Smithyon representatives hud been summarily removed from office by a vote of the congregation. The ejected officers declared as they left the church that the' meeting was illegal owing to the f.ict that it was not called by the chairman of the general board of the church. Mr. A. Dickinson. The two members of the board of arbitration who were present said that the congregation did not have the right to discharge them before they had delivered a verdict as to the guilt of innocense of the pastor. In a statement written to The Times today the Rev. A. I. Zeller of the Chicago Heights Christian church who was selected by Rev. Smithson as (Continued on pape tlx.
