DRY AGENTS PAY VISIT TO THE LINE
Saloon Proprietors Found to Have Attended "Funeral" - in a Body Patrons of several saloons of West Hammond were disappointed yesterday afternoon when they went to their favorite hangouts and found the doors locked. Their disappointment was turned to sympathy when they read the signs on the doors: CLOSED FOR THE DAY Gone to a Foneaal Later they learned the truth. The proprietors had become merely frightened when the word went around that their places might be "pinched" by the government men. But the precaution was unnecessary as the federal men had only six warrants and had them served and gone before the other fellows put up their cards. The saloons were pestered again yesterday afternoon by one of those funny little visits which Chicago federal prohibition agents seem to feel they must make periodically. Why It's done no one seems to know for to date nothing much has resulted from the raids. The six naloons visited yesterday were: Ben Kulczyk's place at the north corner of Rlmbach ave. and State Line st. Otto Schneider's place, 576 State Line et. C. W. Cordrey's place, 578 State Line st. The White Front, 630 State Line. "King" John Pociucanskl s place, 708 State Line St. Kox and Gels saloon, 736 State Line. activities were confined to the trip down State Line st. The officers merely walked In and Informed the proprietors that they had warrants for their arrest. The Baloons were not searched. The proprietors were told to come to Chicago this morning and give bond. Then the federal men climbed Into their cars and headed for Chicago. This Is the fourth time the Whit.Front has been in trouble with the prohibition department. As soon as the word was passed around that the federal men were in town several of the proprietors of places which were not visited became frightened and put up the funeral cards. However, their fears were groundless. BIG STORE CHANGES New Floor Space Added To Lion Store Improves Its Appearance Greatly. Changes In the Interior arrangement of the Lion Store In Hammond, which have been in progress for a number of weeks, have at last bien completed and the difference In appearance at once brings expressions of approval from those who visit the big department store. Some tima ago Kaufmann & Wolf announced that the Lion Store would discontinue the grocery and drug departments and that the space would be absorbed by other departments. It was a big Job, shifting stocks and fixtures and adding to the different lines. The departments which came in for the additional space are the men's clothing, men's furnishings, boys' clothing and shoe section on one side and the women's ready-to-wear, millinery and dress goods on the other side. Th: first named departments now extend back into the space formerly occupied by the grocery story, ine others now Include the space formerly had by the drug department and offices at the rear of the north section of tho store. The whole store has been brightened by having the old balconies removfd. Better lirht and ventilation are afforded by this change. Rooms on the second floor of Jhe Rimbach building have been fitted up for the general offices which were moved from their old quarters. Large, well lighted and airy rest rooms have also been provided there for clerks and customers. An easily accessible stairway leads from the main floor to these rooms. For some time Kaufmann & Wolf have felt the need of more floor Spac3 as business in different departments steadily Increased. More complete and more select stocks have been added with ths recent Improvements and now they feel better prepared than ever before to serve their rapidly increasing patronage.

DECISION OF
INTEREST Tl SUBDIVIDE Judge H. L. Crumpacker Is sues Permanent Injunction in Realty Case A decision of far-reaching Importance was rend-rcd by Judge Harry L. Crumpacker of the LaPorte Circuit court In Hammond yesterday where he was altting as special Judge In the case In which the Madison Terrace Realty Co. sought to and did enjoin Dwid L. Aiken. Herman E. Granger and County Clerk William C. Rose from filing a mechanic's lien, or permitting such a lien to De filed, agtlnst all of the lots in the Madison Terrace addition. The case was one in which Aiken was sub-contracting tc do the grading for the United Construction Co. for the streets in Madison Terrace. Aiken claim-d that certain changes were made in the grade of the street under the direction of an officer of the realty company. He demanded payment for extras from the realty company. His attorne threatened to "plaster a Hen" on every lot in the subdivision If the amount was not paid and pointed out that it would be cheaper to pay the claim than to stand the additional abstracting charges on each abstract furnished In the future that would result from abstracting the notice of lien and Its release. This would cost $2.00 an abstract for some 250 abstracts. Instead of submitting to that sort of a proposition the Madison Terrace Realty Co., which disclaims any liability wnatsoever on account of Aiken's work, employed Glenn D. Peters of the law firm of Bomberger, Peters and Morthland and secured a temporary restraining order. Yesterday the -case was up for aj hearing to make th temporary or- I dar permanent. Judge Crumpacker decided that the plaintiffs had no adequate remedy at law to prevent the "slander of title" as it Is called dther than Injunctive relief and the Injunction was made permanent. The court ruled that It Is not perI misslble to riace a lien on the lots In a subdivision to secure a claim for work odne on the streets in such a subdivision and as the testimony showed that Herman E. Granger, the attorney for Aiken, threatened such procedure, the court issued a permanent Injunction. This decision do?s not prevent Aiken from vroceedinsr in the usual way to collect his claim from the Madison Terrace Realty Co. or the United Construction Co. Attorney Edwin Fredericks of the law firm of Crumpacker and Crumpacker, represented the United Construction Co.

TO AMALGAMATE
TIE
IN NORTH
The registration figures announced yesterday have a portentous meaning. They spjll political oblivion for Hammond. Whiting and East Chicago unless these cities amalgamate. Time was when Hammond alone ruled the county politically, but "them days r.re gone forever." The amalgamated cities of North township would never have their own way but they would have a voice in matters in which Gary Is now the alpha and oratea. Gary's registration is 13.657 nearly twice that of East Chicago and Hammond combined and only 3,000 less than East Chicago, Hamm o n d and Whiting. Moreover, Gary's population is growing daily due to the construction of the tube milts, and there is every reason to believe that the Steel City will have a voting strength of 17.000 or 18,000 by the next registration, two years hence. If Hammond. East Chicago and Whiting continue to pull apart they are lost in Lake county politics. Gary is the capital of Lake county today. The population of the amalgamated citijes of Hammond, East Chlcaco and Whiting world be approximately 83,C)0 as against Oary's ; 60.000. and with the building of the Jones and Laughiin plant North township's growth would surely keep apace of Gary. SEPARATE TAX LEV IKS Uncfer the separate tax unit plan, whereby a-ch of tho three cities would maintain its own tax levy, amalgamation is possible without financial sacrifice.

On the other hand Whiting has much to gain. Sho is hemmed In and must have room for expansion. HSinmond will never consent to permitting Robevtsdale to disannex and annex with Whiting. Possession is nine points of the law and Hammond has possession of Robertsdale and Intends to hold on. Under the separate tax levy arrangement Robertsdale could easily become a part of Whiting as a community as well as having the benefits of amalgamated government.
