STREET CAR AND

AUTO IN COLLISION

Coupe Containing Three Women Hit By Hammond Bound Street Car. Three women escaped death by a miracle yesterday afternoon when the new Hudson coupe In which they we'e riillnT wa.'; t-truck and nearly demolished by a street car, Hammond bound, at Kneiticld avenue and the entrance to Douglas Park. Mrs. Susie Kolonkl, 576 Morton avenue, driving the car was badly shaken up as was Catherine Kruppa, 443 Merrill avenue, who was riding in the back seat. The most seriously Injured of the trio la Mrs. Anna Moore, 473 Merrill avenue, whose right arm was crushed when she excitedly waved It In a helpless ges ture of appeal at the street car ns it bore around the curve In the street ! at that point and crashed Into the j side of he automobile. Mrs. Koloski's story of the accident: "I had Just driven Mrs. Moore to the Carmelite orphanage where the took her three year old son. We had left the orphanage and were turning around in Sheffield avenue to return home. I looked north in Sheffield avenue. I saw no car. We had gotten into the center pf the street, the machine was moving slowly across the tracks when suddenly Mrs. Moore, who was Bitting with me, cried out, 'Oh Cod. Susls, wo are going to be hit!" The next i.istant the crash came." Mrs. Mooie. first removcl to the orphanage, then revived and taken to the home of Mrs. Kolcakl. tolls this: "I did not see the ca.- untfl It waa nearly upon us. I must have thrown my arm out the window. I don't know how It ever came to be crushed like this. I saw the car coming, saw the motorman throw up his hands and rush back from the vestibule, then the car struck us. After they got my arm out, I fainted." August Bakala, city fireman, 4G2 Morton avenue, brother-in-law of Mrs. Koloski, was a passenger In the street car that struck the automobile. He relates an Interesting angle to the accident: "The street car was traveling along at a rate of speed of 23 miles an hour. We had swerved around the curve in Sheffield ave. at the park. Suddenly the motorman threw open the door of the vestibule. He dashed Into the car. shouting, Run back everybody! Run for your lives! We are going to hit lt! He was chasing everyone Into the rear of the car. I recalled there was no railroad crossing at that point and wondered what obstruction could frighten him so. I got up and ran back after a second or two." The car was In charge of Motorman Clearwater and Conductor Faulkner. Superintendent Lawrence of the street car company could not be reached today to verify the retort that the motorman had des.rted hi post In the face of danger? Whether or not Clearwater found hl3 brakes were not working and decided his duty was to the passengers or whether he threw In hla brakes and then fled could not be ascertained. The street car was not damaged by the impact. Even the glass In the vestibule remained Intact. EVANGELISTOFFERSTO G Said He Could Get Glassful for Each Member Present at Meeting. WHITING. Ind.. Oct. 31. Evangelist Snyder last eight attacked some of the causes that were demoralizing the church and our country. He said, "Our country is doomed to die unless It sincerely recognize God Recognition of Christ is the only hope of our country. In fact, no man can be rtrioMc unless they recognize Christ." He quoted from outstanding men of our country on the subject of the morals of our country. "Anybody who will take time to Investigate or give the question thought cannot help but feel that the trend of the times is away from the Bible, the very basis of our civilization." he said. Snyder's outstanding appeal was against the modern dance and home rard playing. He spared no wonls in denouncing the dance, saylm-. "The modern e'ance is the country'g and the church's greatest enemy. It saps the life out of the. young people and robs them of tho Bible, the one foundation upon which our country and church is founded. The Bible must be placed In our public schools and let It stand on Its o n merits. The Bible and dancinr. cannot be hitched together and In placing the Bible In the school much of this evil will be done away with. "Playing cards and gambling In the homes is causing people to lose respect for the church and to be less j patriotic. The remedy for the loose morals of the home is to replace the cards with the Bible." Snyder also touched upon the booze question. He gave this statement as a challenge to his audience: That he could go out within a radius of a block or so and get enough booze to give each member present a , large glass full. The challenge still holds -,ojd if any care to take him ur. There was an overflow meeting last night to hear Rev. Snyder. Some of the people had to be seated In the Sunday School rooms. Meetings will continue every night but Monday night.

Angered by the persistence of photographers who were trying to take her picture against her wishes, Mrs. Jane 'iibson, 29. farmer, and eyo witness of the double murder of Rev. Dr. Edward W.

Now West Hammond is planning to move ahead of Hammond In another respect. It is going to have a re.pecta'ble looking city hall. Right now the two towns are Just about tie on city hal's. One Is about aj bad aa the other. Ten years ago when West Hammond was struggling to the surface after years of misgovernment. the subject of adecent city hall was discussed. The town treasury was In bad share "but a fund was accumulated. Then the Vntworth ave. sewer, which had b"en improperly constructed. caved in and It was necessary to rebuild It. That used up the surplus cash and put the town In d!bt worse than ever. Since then It has been a batt.ie to whittle down those debts. At one time the town owed $100,000 and had nothing in the treasury. Recent administrations liave cut down experff and devised various means of rriiMng revenue .;ntll the old debt has been wiped out. There is now a neat yum in the citv i-offcrs to be UFed in building the long desired city hall. For ten years the city has iwned the tract of land at Wentworth ave. j and 154th street, which was donated by the McCormick estate. This is to be the site of the new city building. About five years ago the police and Sre departments were both housed in a building erected on one part of it. ThU bjllding wa? constructed with the Idea of making it a part of a mora pretentious edifice later. City officials ar" now talking city hall and are receiving the taukin of the people in the move. It is probable that before spring construction plana will already be underway .

Straw Votes Show Dem. Candidate For Governor Running Ahead

By GEORGE R. HOLMES. STAFF CORRESPONDENT I. N. EHV1CEJ WASHINGTON. Oct. CO.The campaign of 1922, in many respects the qui-test and most apathetic the country has witnessed in year swung Into the last week today with the principal spokesmen of both republican and democratic pa-ties predicting "substar.tlal victory," but conspicuously avoiding specification as to eoctions and numbers. By common consent, it Is a queer year and tho party managers are admittedly puzzled when It coroei to making specific predlct.ins of how, 'hy, and In what numbers the viltoy, they claim la to i-e a c.ir.ip'lshed at ihe polls one wee'.i f'win today. From Cordell Hull, chairman of the democratic national committee this: "A substantial victory for the Democratic party on Nov. 7. Is now assured. Th. ,.f hi. - . ..I,, i niiji j depends upon how many Republicans stay at home and how many actively support the Democratic ticket." This from John T. Adams, chairman of the Republican National committee: "The Republican party will win a substantial victory oh Nor. T. republicans have demonstrated they can operate the government economically and efficiently! they stand squarely on tho record made, and the countty will manifest Its approval by continuing the Republican party in control of both branches ef congress." Actually, it appears that both Republicans .ind Democrats will win, or claim at any rate "substantial victor", at the polls next week. It Is generally conceded, eren In Partisan Democratic sources that the Republicans will emerge from the battle with continued control of both senate ar.d house, althrmg-h by greatly lessened majorities. By hearllr reducing the Republi!. can majorities, the Democrats will have won their "substantial victory," By retaining their control of b"th branches of congress the Republic cans will have wen their "substantial vletoryi" This week will see eoneentraHo efforts by both parties In the called "doubtful" states, particularly In Ohio, wMch both parties re desperately anxious to win: Oh!' is the cock jilt of the 1922 struggle and Is the? cynosure of ail partisan eyesConflicting reports on the state of the electoral mind In Ohio are daily reaching the capitol and causing party managers no little uneasiness Ordinarily, the Democrats woti'.d hardly reckon to effect a complete reversal of a state In two short years and overtHrn a 400. 0G0 Republican majority that was Harding's In 1920. Yet conditions are such that the Democrats are not only hopeful, but exceedingly confident of carrying Ohio thus "Beating tb president in his own state:" Their confidence Is due In some large measure to the result of newspaper "straw yotes" o? historical a;cnr: acy, which show the Democraticticket of Donahey for governor and Pomerlne for senator to be rnnclng well ahead. The Republicans apoof these Democratic clalmn, but thrlr tineaslness has been reflected ty the despatch of the entire cabinet Into Ohio seetlon In the past two weeks, to work for the Republican tirket. KIWANIS CLUB TO PROVIDE CAMP SITE FOR AUTO TOURISTS The Hammond Xlwanls club has another project on the fire. This time it is b movement to pecure a camp site for automobile tourlrts. Nearly every town and city anl many villages have piovlded cam; sites for the tourists and It has be. come a black eye to a city not t" have that comrnodatlon. Ham niond motorists wfcc go on tourl every summar receive accommodations from other cities and it is no more than right that Hammond! make arrangements to reciprocate, The camp .!te will be on the oda of town, probably on the south ill4 sr.d will be equipped with a r.um-j be; of camp stoves and provljrf places to tent. In v'c-w of the fact that autjrool He .-.ih throughout the country in arranging routes for their mem-l bars, arcld towns that do not haff camp sites. Hammond will lose at good deal of the bufcineas of th tourists until it has one. The Ki-j wants club believes that tho sit should be secured this fall so thai it will be on road map3 next spring EIGGEST pickerel.
