RUFFBLDG. READY ABOUT APRIL 15TH

Renovated and reconstructed the J. J. Ruff building-, corner Hohman street ' and Jkluenich court, scene of Hammond's moot spectacular fire in years, will be ready for occupancy once again before the middle of April. This is the expectation of Mr. Ruff, owner of the building, who ha, been re-establishing- his hardware business, virtually wiped out in the I00,000 blaze, in quarters opposite the site of the damaged building. 'The handsome three-story building, almost gutted by flames, will suffer a few alterations which Mr. Ruff pointed out will provide greater space and more stability to the structure. The ground floor, formerly of wood, has been replaced by one of reinforced concrete. There will be a lobby entrance to the stairway leading- to the upper floors. The corridors of second and third floors will extend the length of tha building. Tenants of th second floor will be the law firm of Bomberger, Peters A Morthland; the offices of Dr. E. S. Jones, and Addison C. Berry, architect. The third floor will be utilized by the Bohllnger Commercial School. There will be a surplus of five double office suites also on this floor. Most of these have been rented, said Mr. Ruff. Completion of the first floor should be made by April 1. If these plans materialize It is the intention

of Mr. Ruff to remove his stock of

hardware to the old business place.

FOR REPRESENTATIVE

Has Valuable Suggestion Regarding the Calumet

Chamber of commerce

Entering the race for state rep resentative from this district, W'il Ham M. Love, manager of the Rim

bach properties in Hammond and a

' contractor, has a valuable suggestion to make to the cities of the Calumet region. Mr. Love believes that new industries can be located and the growth of the region made more rapid by formation of a Calumet Chamber of Commeice embracing Hammond, West Hammond, the Calumet Lake district, Whiting. East Chicago, Indiana Harbor and Gary. The first art of the new chamber of commerce, according: to Mr. Love'a plan, would be to issue an attractive book listing the industrial facilltiss of the region, showing the iniustrles already located here and giving- plats of available industrial bites. This book, containing all the information about the Calumet legion and advertising its advantages, would bo mailed to very chamber of commerce in the United States. ' Great benefit would b derived from advertising of the 'kind. Mr. Love believes. The Calumet Chamber of Commerce would be of great assistance In support cf the Illlana Harbor project. Mr. Love says that too great importance cannot be placed upon picking the right men for the state legislature. Mr. Love was, born at Talma, Fulton Co., Indiana, June 1. 1885 and has ltved in Hammond twentyone years. He is a graduate of ths Lincoln-Jefferson College of Law and spent two year3 at Northwestern University. Po.- three years Mr. Love w as credit supervisor for Armour & Co., in New Tork City, handling- accounts amounting to f 80.000, 000 a year. He was assistant general credit manager of the Crown Cork & Seal Co., at Baltimore. He has the highest recommendation from both conctms.

GARY NEWS

BLOW AT GAMBLING.

The spirit of Carrie Nation was evi dently hovering over the confines of the city court room in Gary this morning. Like a bolt from a clear sky. City Judge William Dunn, took a smashing blow at the gambling denizens of the steel city when during the trial of a half a dozen Greek gamblers arrested in a coitee house at 704 Adams st. last night, ordered police officers to destroy gambling tables and other paraphernalia confiscated in future raids. "There is no use bringing this stuff to the station," said the court to the moral squad. "Just take an axe or something and smash all this stuff to smithereens. We are going io break up this' gambling in Gary ir we have to go to an extreme to do it. The law is very plain that gamb ling paraphernalia must be destroyed and there is no use bringing it in and then turning it over to the sheriff to do it." ' "There is another thing which the law plainly defines and which I want to point out. Some of these landJords who rent out places with tiie knowledge that gambling is going on Had better be careful, for one of thesa days I am going to issue warrants and make an example of some of t:iem." . "I do not know what is in the at-

Good Voices and Lively Dances Feature Return of Musical Comedy to Hammond.

BY HAROLD CROSS. It has. always been my opinion that none but a girl named Irene could really play the part. Imagine the self -satisfaction in seeing on the Parthenon program last night that the Irene O'Dare of "Irene" was Miss Irene Dunne. Can't recall that I ever heard of Miss Irene Dunne. But no matter. She's an Irene and it 'has been my observation that ajl girls christened Irene are charming. It the Vanderbllt Producing company had only asked me about it when they first "Irene" company was selected I would have told them to exclusively employ girls named Irene. We liked Miss Irene Dunne last night Knights of Columbus, Masons. Elks, rythtans. Odd Fellows. KIwanians. Presbyterians, Republicans. Rotarians everybody and his wife- She can sing- and dance and on the fire escape she can act. SEE IT AGAIV. The purpose of this "write-up" is not to describe the show. Everyone has seen one of the fifteen or twenty "Irene" companies somewhere, sometime. These Temarks are to help you decide whether or not you care to see it again. It ia Just a question as to whether you

would enjoy hearing "Alice Blue j

Gown," the classic of musical comedy ditties, once more, and when Donald Marshall asks "Irene" to

marry him to hear her reply, "My God, when?" One thing can be said of this "Irene" company. It is not a laggard. Nobody shirks. Every principal and member of the chorus worked last night as though they had doubting relatives in the audience. Not since "The Sweetheart Shop" have we seen such lively dancing. Beatrice O'Connor, Mary Moore and Busby Berkley were simply jrreat jn their dance numbers. Berkley makes the most of the comedy role in which he is cast and does it without being: offensive. It could easily be overdone by a lesser artist. I.IVEI.V CHonts. Rollins Grimes is handsome, all that the part calls for, and the other young men of the companylook as well as anybody does In dress suits. What an outlandish a dress suit! The "ladies of the ensemble" are comely and deport themselves in a pleasing manner. One chorus girl, a blonde, can kick harder and higheh than any blonde chorus girl Hammbnd has had the privilege of seeing, the shows at the old Towle Opera House not excepted. The costumes are expensive and well laundried. which is saying a great deal for a road show. Tonight is the second and last performance. Tomorrow the bewitching Irene Dune will be gone, together with the wardrobe and props and we will be left to seek thrills In the flickering silent drama. Nick Scofes, manager of Majestic, hotel, will say to John Pringle. the traveling man, next Monday morning. "John you should have been here Friday and Saturday. The Irene company stopped with me." Which is John's bad luck.

mosphcre, but there seems an unusually large amount of gambling going on. I do know, however, that I am going to do all in my power to stop it though." The court fined four of the participants of the game, sent the proprietor to Jail and forfeited one bond.
