A camp for the men has been established by the commission, and ail other necessary preparations to hurry the work have been completed.

It is planned by the state highway department to do all the grading on Indianapolis boulevard, and to have everything In readiness for the laying of the concrete pavement when the contract is let on iept. 23. The force is under the direct supervision of A. H. Hinkle, superintendent of maintenance for the state highway department.

Mr. Hinkle is the official who built the Dunes highway detour near Bai-leytown, and is keeping it in repair. Because of the heavy traffic on Indianapolis boulevard, the highway commission has arranged with the Hammond and Chicago police'to direct traffic while the grading is in progress. The traffic off four main Indiana highways and four Michigan truck lines use Indianapolis boulevard as an entrance Into Chicago. Officials of the Indiana highway commission declare it is one of the most congested highways in America.

This condition can more readily be appreciated when it is- known that all or practically all the traffic that passes over Dunes highway also passes over Indianapolis boulevard, which, in addition, is the only direct gateway into Chicago from all points east and southeast. The widened and improved boulevard will be 2:75 miles in length. The plan is to complete the north roadway, which will be 30 feet wide this fall, and to construct the south roadway, which will be the same idth. next spring. Legionaires PREPARING WORK ON AGE SAVES PETER SCHUTZ The advanced age of 1'eter Schuta who has been a resident of Hammond since 1S79, saved him from jail yesterday.

He was arrested last week on a charge of driving hia automobile while intoxicated and was tried yesterday afternoon in police ecurt. Scnutz denied that he was drunk, lie wouldn't even admit that he had taken a drink ttiat day. He told of his visits that afternoon but failed to account for several hours. Peter also had his own Ideas hy Officer Slkorski arrested him at State and liohman streets, but his opinions didn't appeal to Judge Cleveland who gave him J25 and costs and thirty days which were suspended. The judge was thoughtful enough to overlook a similar offense by Sciiutz last April.

Otherwise it might have meant a year in prison lor Mr. Schutz. NEW CALUMET CITY BUILDINGS PLANNED To Cost Bank And Municipal Build ings for 154th and "Wentworth Comers. Construction in Calumet CiJv, formerly West Hammond. Is progressing rapidly.

The judge preferred the story of Officer Sikorekl who arrested Fuqua Crime Occurs in City's little Italy" Scene cf Many Grewsome Killings The acrid odor ot burning flesi. and the pale flicker of flames through dense smoke greeted Chas. Casamanto this morning as he burst into his brother's bedroom and discovered one of the most grisly murders In Hammond's police annals. Frank Casamanto, 24, had been killed while he slept hacked almost beyond recognition with a matchet and then oil and the match had been applied to the bed clothes. The crime was committed at 6S4 Webster Hammond's "Little Italy" the scene of half a dozen killings of the Black Hand stripe within the last ten years.

SEAB HIS AMBITION Casamanta was about to realize his life's ambition. He was to quit the hard labor of the railroad shops and devote his time to music. He worked in the Erie shops at night and spent his spare time with his musical instruments. Twice a week he went to Chicago for special violin instruction. In the evenings he played with a small orchestra which was much in demand.

He was proficient on several instruments besides the violin. FID COSTLY VIOLl.X A violin, for which he had just paid $500 and on which he had played a short time before the murder was found near his bed unharmed. Last evening Casamanto had practiced with the orchestra at the Wyman Music Store. He was not feeling well, he said. At around 10 o'clock neighbors 'heard the violin In the rooms at 6S4 Webster avenue.

The boys were having a little music before they went to the roundhouse to start work at 11 o'clock. Two- others lived with the brothers In the rooms. SICK, W4JXT HOMU Frank remained On the job only a short time. At 1:30 o'clock he said he was too sick to work and went home. That was the last time they taw him alive.

When Charles Casmanto and Tony Gledeno reached the house at 5:45 o'clock this morning they noticed smoke. Charles started Into the bedroom and was driven back. Ha called the police. Officer Summer entered the room and was able to discern the body in the bed. The flames, which had confined themselves to the bed clothing, were extinguished.

The body was wrapped in a sheet and hurried to Me Burns morgue. SHOCKING CRIME DETAILS It was not until the morgue was reached that the nature ef the crime was discovered. There was a gaping wound In the skull made by a hatchet. Another vicious blow diagonally across the face had split the upper lower Jaw and severed the nose. The throat was cut from ear to ear just beneath the chin.

This last wound bore evidence of having been made with a razor. The hands were charred off and the feet and legs were shriveled with the heat. OLIVE OIL USED A gallon can of olive oil llsed by the ooys in cooking had been used by the murderer in his effort to obliterate evidence of his crime. The boiiy and clothing had been soaked with the contents of the can which had- been hacked open vHh a blow fiom the hatchet. Tne empty can was found in the yard -here it had been thrown by the Keller as ho fled.

MATCHET IS FOl.U The hatchet was found several hours later between a trunk and tho wall. It alo belonged to the boys. It was used- in chopping Kindling and was kept in a small cupboard off the kitchen. Italian friends of Casamanto give the usual perplexed ehrugs and are aole to offer tne police no information which might furnish a motjva tor the crime. Friends of Casamanto says he was a popular and had been in no trouble.

ED ITALY TRIP He had accumulated a small sum of money and had planned to start next week with some friends on a visit to Italy. This money is In a Hammond bank. Robbery apparently was not the object of the slayer because nothing was stolen. There was money in pockets. On the bedroom wall a watch was hanging witn a So gold piace for a pendant on the chain.

In the trunk weie several gold pieces and other articles of value. Police found several knives at different places in the rooms. These belonged to the boys. There were also the cartridge clips and ammunition tor at least three automatic pistols, but the guns could not be fyund. II LACK HAM) POSSIBLE Search of the place failed to bring to light any letters or papers which would indicate Casamanto had been threatened or had been the victim of a Black Hand extortion plot.

It is police say, that a black- mail, demand had been made and that Casamanto left work last night, not because he was sick, as he said, but in order to be at home where he could defend himself. What happened in the hours between and 6 o'clock will perhaps never be known.

"Bobby didn't believe in capital punishment.

He wrbte about It and real his article against It at school. He told me It was wrong and somehow after that how could I ask it? I didn't want to do anything to Interfere with the prosecution, of course but I didn't want them to hang." This was the comment of Mrs. Jacob Franks, mother of Bobby, today on the verdict sentencing the slayers of her son to life imprisonment. Whether or not Franks, the grim old man who constantly attended the trial agreed with her or not, he did not say. "I am glad Its over" was his only comment.

BY" CARL. W. HARRIS CHICAGO, Sept. 11. Picked rifle squads this morning patrolled the block around the criminal courthouse and county jail here while preparations were being made to transport Nathan F.

Leopold, and Richard A. Loeb to Joliet on what may be the last open air journey of their life-time. All through the long night following pronouncement of the verdicts for the kidnaping and slaying of little Robert Franks, while the two young collegians slept soundly, within, the armed guards marched monoton ously back artfd fourth In front of the structure. And, all. through the night, little knots of the curious possibly members of the mob who thronged the streets yesterday while sentence was being passed gathered in the narrow streets there until the sharp command to "move on" routed them.

One arrest was made. A man who passed continually by the building iwas taken into custody on suspicion. As dawn came, the tenseness which had prevailed by night lessened but anxiety to get the young slayers started on thftir Journey to Joliet away from the threats of bombing was evident at the court house and jail. Until they leave, however, the redoubled guard both inside and outside the building, will be maintained. The start will be made, it is expected, sometime today.

The trip will be by automobile, In the car with the boys will be a picked squad jot deputies armed with ritles and sawed off shot guns. Other machine loads of otticers will precede and follow this car. At their destination, two vacant cells in court solitary and the dull deadly routine of penitentiary life awaits the At Joliet, Jonn L. Whitman, warden has made it known, they will receive none of the favors which were possible during their stay in the Cook county Jail. They will dotf their Jaunty clothing tor the regulation blue denim of the convict.

Their smoothly slicked hair will undergo cropping at the hands of the prison bamer. Their fingerprints and bertillon measurements will be taken and the transformation of Nathan F. Leopold, and itlchard A. Loeb, sons of Chicago millionaires, to 9,505 and 9,300 In the Illinois state penitentiary twi, of 2.OU0 fellow convicts rising daii at ti and retiring daily at win be accomplished. By tomorrow they will have started on the regular penitentiary routine and will have been assigned to tasks In the prison chair factory.

They will eat with the other prisoners and will tie served the same fare. Special meals, as they were allowed in the county jail, will be forbidden and whatever concessions they gain will be because they have earned them through the prison merit system and net because they are the sons of wealth. Their days of "experiments" and their search for thrills will be ended. They will be permitted visitors but once every two weeks and will be allowed to write a letter but once in the same period. Oblivion, which Whitman believes will bring to the boys that sense of balance which had been lacking in their lives, will follow the clanging of the great steel gates behind them today.

In addition to the published Kcnedule of the Tech games. South Bend has been signed up for appearance here November 1st. Hammond Is Beneficiary of Auxiliary Extensions by Gary Street Ry.

Co. On Aug. 23 the Gary Street railway commenced an auxiliary motor bus service in the city of Hammond from its terminus at Hohman and Sibley streets east on Sibley street and south on Calumet avenue and Columbia avenue to Munstcr and Highland. This service was inaugurated pursuant to the Gary street railway's regular method of developing transportation facilities in outlying portions of the cities which it serves, which has successfully worked out over a period of years in the city of Gary; the main feature of this service being that the pioneering development of street railway traffic Is accomplished with modern motor buses as in auxiliary feeder service to the railway lines until such as the territory develops through Its service to a point where it justifies the expenditure of a large fixed Investment required by the street railway tracks and equipment. An Illustration of this is the working out of such development of the northeast portion of Gary and the Miller district within the last three years, street railway tracks now being laid to Miller and the Municipal Park beach after three years of motor bus service.

The Inauguration of the auxiliary motor bus service in Hammond has met with such public favor that its operation is now to be extended. TO KXTEXD 5ERICE Commencing on Saturday, Sept. 20, the auxiliary motor bus service of the Clary street railway will extend so '1t will operate through Highland and Munster oh 15th avenue. Calumet avenue, Sibley street. State Line road and 154th avenue to Burnham avenue in Calumet City.

Buses will be operated every twenty minutes between Burnham avenue and Saxony and Columbia avenue, leaving Burnham avenue at ten, thitty and fifty minutes after the hour, and Saxony and Columbia avenues at ten, thirty and fifty minutes after the hour. The fare will be 10 cents to all points between the above termini north of Saxony avenue, with transfers Issued free to the street eras reaching all. points on Sibley and Summer streets and the Hessville district to the east city limits of Hammond. To accommodate this extended service the present fifteen minute motor bus headway on Sibley street and Calumet avenue will be for the present changed to a twenty minute headway and the service to Munster and Highland to an hourly headway on the hour from Hohman and Highland STREET RAILWAY U.XTKSIO Pursuant to its plan to develop the transportation facilities of the southeast portion of the city of Hammond In accordance with methods w.hich have been successfully carried out by1 it in the city of Gary ovem a period of years, the Gary street railway has led with the board of public works of the city of Hammond an application for a franchise for street railway extensions on Calumet avenue south from Sibley street to the city limits, on 15th avenue from Calumet avenue to the east city limits, on Columbia venue from 15th avenue to the south city limits, and on Forsyth and Kennedy avenues throughout their length. Pending the construction of these extensions with the development of tls portion of the city the railway company-will operate auxiliary feeder motor bus service on these' streets as fast as development of this territory will warrant.

Transfers will be exchanged betWf-en the motor buses street of the Gary street railway, and the motor buses and street cars of any other street railway or motor bus service operating in the city of Hammond under authority of the city. This plan provides for a broad, comprehensive and adequate development of the transportation facilities of tho i-outheast portion of the city of Hammond in the most economical manner. The experience of the Gary street railway in motor bus and street railway operation' has demonstrate ed that for the handling of dense masses of traffic the only modern, economical and satisfactory method is double track street railway Operation with trail-trains, safety-cars, block signals and the most modern equipment, that the cost of handling a passenger by such modern street railway service is approximately one-third less than the cost of handling with a modern, adequate system of motor bus service, thereby rendering the most economical transportation service to the Inhabitants cf a large industrial community.
