i.VYS iH2 POLICE 3UCPO&TXS CHIMB IS PETTY How muah crime Is there la Hammond? Is it organized? Are Chicago criminals getting once more the foot-hold in the Calumet region held in previous years? To what extent are Hammond homes being plundered; pedestrians sand-bagged; women assaulted; stores held-up; motorists robbed, and the city thrown in a furore of fear and anxiety? Is it lesa than truthfully Irony to say that the common greeting at Hammond dinner tables of late has become "Oood evening, have you met your bandit yet Chief Bunde says the papers tend to exaggerate the situation. He says it's cot so grave as pictured. "Petty burglaries and minor crimes." That, he saya, is the extent of Hammond's bandit scare. ' From other sources, however, this writer learns that the menace of the hold-up man, recruited most frequently now from the ranks of the unemploy, new at the t;amo and consequently more dangerous than the professional, is real enough here to cause apprehension, that the lncrase Juvenile deliquency is worrying authorities; and that moonshine, irregular dancehalls; questionable cafes, and ineffectual efforts to banish the profligates, white and black, are gradually assuming proportions suggestive of the old, wide-open days. SHOOT AT POLICEMAX. EtTorts to suppress the attempted shooting of Officer l.au of Hammond central police station leaves an Interesting incident that occurred on Standard avenue in a questionable light.' I-au was shot at. This was about 11 p. m. Wednesday night. "Tourists passing in an automobile probably phot at the policeman." That's Chief Bunde's explanation. "Three youn men did it. It's the same gang that's been bothering restdents of this part of the city for some time." That's what Herman J. Holtz says. HoltE is a grocer. He lives In the rear of his store, 206 Standard avenue. Lau's first encounter with the gang occurred Wednesday night. Thursday night he met and chased three young men. He shot at them. That's what Chief Bunde says. This because they attempted to break into Holtz's grocery store. But Holtz tells another story about Thursday night's' shooting scrape. He says they didn't try to get into his store. He says Lau met them near his place of business, chased them and exchanged shots with them. All In all it's a pretty mess. One would like to hear what I.&u has to say about it. Also the three young men might be able to square themselves. Who knows? AXOTHElt GROCER'S EXPERIEXCE Why pick on the grocers? First It was Harvey Tost of William street. Then Herman J. Holtz of Standard avenue. Now E. TV. Andree of 202 Fayette street Andres way working in his ftore. It was 9 p. m. Thursday night. There was a knock at the door of the store. He looked up. The hardened visage of a man was rattened against the glass. He rattled the knob. He was attired In a cap and an army overcoat. "Nothing doing," said Andree. Just then his daughter, Grefhen, who had been "up-town" passed the ( door of the store on her way to the side entrance. he paused when she eaw th man at the door. He didn't notice her. Bat she saw a revolver in his left-hand while he rattled the doorkrob with the other. She went inside and called the police. "Almost right away," says Mr. Andree, "the police were there. I guess it was the whole police force. There was about 12 of them got out of th3 wagon. But they couldn't find the man." NOT AV A K REST Hammond was very (uiet Inst n!j;ht. Hammond police didn't make in arrest. MOOSE FROLIC. Tomorrow at 1:30 p. m.
