HAMMOND IN NET WORK OF BUS LINES
Crown Point Line Last Spoke In Motor Wheel Serving Calumet Region Hammond's strategic industrial position due to its manifo'.d railroad facilities, is fast being: augmented by itsArrowing" trade advantage. This is due to motor transportation that con nects Hammond with cities, villages end towns in both Indiana and Illin ois. A veritable net work of bus lines leads out in every direction from it. The inauguration of motor bus sr vice to Crown Point has opened a new territorv from which trade will be drawn to Hammond stores. The Crown Point-Hammor.d buses which began runing Friday pass through the Ridge road district from Hessville to south The fare to Crown Point is $1.00 with proportionate rates to intervening points. The bus leaves Hammond at S:00 a. m., 1:00 p. m.. and 7:00 p. m. and the running time is fifty-flve minutes. Stops are made at Maynard, Dyer and St. John. The Chicago Heights bus line has been running for months and is an established success. It passes through Munster, Lansing. Oak Glen. Thornton Homewood and other points en route to Chicago Heights. The East Chicago bus line has long been an assured success. There Is also a bus from East Hammond to Burnham and Hegewisch. Another innovation is the automobile hourly service to Gary at the very reasonable rate of thirty-five ceniv The motor cars leave Hohman and Sibley streets on the hour making tlu trip in thirty minutes. The interurbans and street railway? are iorely hit by the motor bus trar.rprrtation. There Is a growing sentl- : nt on the part of the public that t'n. street railways have passed their nef-ght of their usefulness, and espec!ally those that have not kept theii tracks and equipment in good condition and do not supply frequent service. The bus line to Crown Point Is to tht greatest advantage to attorneys, theii clients and witnesses who have ca.e:the circuit or criminal courts. Unless they had an automobile It war necessary to go by way of Gary in order to be at Crown Point at the opening of court. The trip by way of the Hammond-Gary and Gary-Crown Point :nterurban lines takes two hours and costs seventy three cents. WALTER KLEIBER Whiting's Overseas Hero is Laid Away With Fitting Ceremony.

It Is said that Wamsher had been out of work for some time and had tried to secure employment at the different Industries In the East Chicago district without success. And as a last attempt for work approached the manager of the Kaplan shows, recently showing In Indiana Harbor, for a Job. but they could not use him. Dr. Cotter who answered the call believes that his inability to secure employment is the reason for Wamsher's suicide. Wamsher had come to Indiana Harbor from Morocco, , Indiana, to work and be with his brother Harold, who is employed at the Indiana Harbox Lumber and Coal company. The parents of the boy living: In Morocco have been notified of their son's fate. PLAYS ROLE IN TRAGEDY "Moonshine" played the principal role in another tragedy in Gary last Saturday night, when Trinadad Morena, Mexican, despondent because he was unable to find employment crazed from liquor was killed after he had attempted to take the life of a Gary police officer. Officer Boil was traveling his tjeat near Thirteenth avenue and Adams street when he spied Morena making towards the alley. Suspecting that Morena was up to something the officer followed him Into an alley and near him, he demanded the night prowler to halt. As 'the officer flashed his flash light un him, Morena raised a .32 caliber revolver and fired, the bullet whizzing through the officers cap. Officer Boil acted on the instant and returned fire, three of the bullets striking .Morena's body and causing fatal w ounds . Morena raised himself to his feet, staggered for a distance of fifteen feet and fell dead on the steps in the rear of 1243 Adams street. His hand still clutched the revolver with which he attempted to take the officer's life. A quart bottle of moonshine which fell out of his pocket lay nearby. The body was removed to the S. & S.

Harbor Man Falls From A Canoe; Drowns
A happy throng of bathers were turned into one of sadness at Miller rach east of Gary ;irly Saturday afternoon when George Steffins, 21 years old JL Indiana Harbor, fell from a canoe and was drowned in eight feet of water some 400 feet from shore. Hundreds of bathers who were watching the gay party in the canoe, witnessed the tragedy. With Steffins in the canoe were Harry Batch, also of Indiana Harbor, Miss Nellie Meyer oi Hammond and Miss Ophia Huran of Linton, Ind. When the boat capsized all were thrown into the water. Life guards at the beach saw the canoe capsize and rushed to the spot where the four were struggling in the water. Steffin's body was not recovered until three quarters of an hour later. Although physicians and life guards worked over him for more than an hour they were unable to restore any signs of life. The body was taken to William's morgue. Funeral arrangements had not been completed up to time of gririg to press today. T NEEDS HELP FOR JOBLESS Due to the efforts of the Hammond Post of the American Legion to lend a hand to ex-service men who are temporarily out of luck the post's treasury is practically empty today. Yet the number of men seeking aid is in creasing daily. "few people realize what we have been up against here," says W. E. Long, commander of the Hammond post. "We started out with the in tention ' of helping worthy ex-service men. We tried to find them jobs and while they were getting on their feet we helped them financially. If a man was slrande"3 in Hammond and wanted to get home we bought him a meal and a ticket and started him on his way." He says that in the last month he and other officers of the Legion have been able to rlace about thirty-five men in Jobs. Each case has meant that Mr. Long or another officer has lost half a day or more from his own work in hunting work for the stranded friend. It is expensive business. Many people are Inclined to think that since the bulk of the boys have been home a year or more they should be settled by his time and able to take care of themselves. Tir. f,ong say that many of the men now applying for aid have only recently been turned out of hospitals, often without a cent of money. Only a few days ago a young man with one hand in a sling called Mr. Long aside and in a husky voice told him he was broke. He said he was on his way to his home at South Bend. He had never in his life asked anyone for a lift before, but had finally been forced to give in. He was a strapping big fellow. From an inside pocket ha produced the decorations he haS won overseas. "He had everything that a soldier could be awarded," said Long. "I never saw such an array of crosses and medals. Then he pulled out his dh-vharge papers. The blank space as written full of special mention of different acts of bravery. The margins of the paper were also filled. "Then he told me that he had been injured in an accident in Chicago shortly after being discharged from the hospital. Instead of sending him back to the military hospital they took him to the county instltuion. His hand became infected so the hospital authorities told him he had better get home before blood poison developed. He, started to walk to South Bond. When he reached Hammond his haind was swollen to twice its normal size and he was all in. We gave him the money to ride home." "We simply can't turn such men away," continued Mr. Long. "but what are ew going to do when we have no money? The Red Cross can't help them and our treasury is empty. The Post has no running expenses since the county let us meet in the court house. We put on the minstrel show in the hope of bolstering up our treasury so we could continue our work. The public did not patronize the show and instead of making money, the Legion cleared nothing. The men who agreed to back it had to make up a deficit." NEW YORK CENTRAL LOCOMOTIVE SHOPS WILL OPEN MONDAY A'r-sny. j j-'y 2?

OO.GBT-XT POLICY Heads of Lake county industries have adopted a "Go-Get-It" policy that is bringing results. One of the first "GoGetters" to bring home the bteon was P. H. Joyce, president of tle Illinois Car & Manufacturing Co. T-o weeks ago Mr. Joyce went east to see the executive heads of a railroa that Is very friendly to the Calume Region. He explained the unemployment conditions in this district and urged the railroad not to delay placing orders for car repairing. He said Uie situation was such that employment must be found for hundreds of mei whether the industries made money v not. "The day of big profits ha passed."' said Mr. Joyce. "What we vant is to put our men back at work."
