GUARD FOB Mil Meeting Adjourns For Want of Temporary Chairman To Preside in Mak's Place. West Hamrawd Is still In the spot light.

Last nfght the village trustee met for their regular bi-monthly meet In and furnished amusement and ex citement for the spectators, who again crowded the council chamber, by re fusing to occupy President Mak's va cant chair and by so doing made It necessary to adjourn the meeting with out transacting any business. It was expected that the meeting last night would be rather tar bu the people West Hammond have come to make it a religious duty to attend -council meetings and so there was the usual crowd of citizens pres ent. Ever since the leform movement lias been In tho ascendency the develop ments have come rapidly and in infln lte variety, and when the unexpected happened last nlght'it was merely the usual order of things. Markman headed the gang as they marched into the council chamber and the crowd was followed by the fout or five burly bodyguards who alone make the attendance of certain offi clals at the meetings possible. Mak Not Prraent.

Martin Flneran. the clerk, announced that President Mak would not be present and suggested that nomina-tiona chairman would bn tn order. oK? -Ironically suggested that Trustee Oreen would be the logical successor of the village but he declined the honor. Then one of the trustees suggested the name of Wlek- llnskl. This, the noblest Roman of them all, thrust aside the crown sneer Inply and said that he would never sit In that dirty chair until it had been thoroughly renovated.

This caused an uproar of enthus lasm and one after another of the trustees were cheered as they refused to occupy the place of the discredited and disgraced president. Finally, when It became evident that there was no one In the house who "Would act as president, a motion to adjourn was made and the meeting broke up. Village Attorney Markman passed the crowd under ample protection and his standing army was paid off and sent back to Chicago to the next call to arms, next Wed nesday. 511 ST SHAVE KAKLV. Policemen Are Ordered Also to Shine Their Shoe.

The Peau Brummels, Adonises ond Apollos of the Indianapolis police' force must hereafter attend to such trifles of the toilet ai having one's shoes shined and getting shaved befoie going on act lve duty as conservators of public liberty and safety, according to an order from Chief of Police Metzger. A recent order from the pen of the chief has this to say: "It has been brought to my attention that patrolmen during the hours they are on duty and should be pntrollng their districts, have their shoes shined and have themselves shaved. It seems ridiculous that it Is necessary for me to call your attention to matters of this kind, as any right thinking officer must know that this department cannot tolerate anything of this kind. We expect you to attend to these necessary matters before you report for duty. I hope that tho above will never occur again." SMITH TO UK Sl'ED OX HOX1) BX WIFE OF Nl'RDERED MAX.

There are nearly twice as many eases on the calendar of the superior court as there was at the beginning of the last term of court. This fact empha-sizes the need that some measures be taken to relieve the congestion.

At the last term of court there were 123 cases that came to trial. This waa thought to have been a very large number but when It Is known that there have already been filed 1S civil rases and 13 criminal cases It will seen that there are exactly 6S mora cases to come before the court at this term than there were at the last. The only relief seems to be that sug gested by one of the prominent lawyers of the city some time ago, L. e. a con tlnuoua session.

In the meanwhile Hammond lawyers are reaping the harvest and such a thing as the starvation period foe young attorneys Is unheard of. WABASH HAS A PAJAMA SQTCAD KRESIIMEX SAVED IIAIRCIT.

Three accidents occurred at the Knights of Pythias picnic yesterday at Lowell, to mar the pleasure of the occasion, but otherwise the picnic was voted a success. The accident that was the most deplored was that which befell Harry Gordon's baby, who was hit in tho face by a base-ball and quite seriously hurt.

The other casualties were the up setting of Merritt Johnson, caused by his team turning too short a corner, while the parade was passing. Johnson was landed on his head and turned a complete sommersault. Wilbur Doty was the other victim, he being thrown out of his wagon by a collision be tween the vehicle and an automobile. It was a rear end collision and no one was seriously injured. The festival was attended by be tween 1,200 and 1.500 persons and the program was conducted with spirit and eclat.

The weather was perfect and the crowd Jolly and good-natured and everybody was bent on having a good time. Jn the industrial parade nearly every business firm and a great many farmers from '-the surrounding country-- -rtad floats. The order of tho line of march was as C. W. Hand, Lowell Volunteer Firemen, Rensselaer Uniform Rank, K.

Dwyer. Mr. Bowser's address was confined to a eulogy of Phythlanlsm and his remarks were listened to atten tively. Mr. Bowser spoke eloquently and in a very pleasing manner.

The comedy acrobatic feats by Douglas and Douglas and their wonder ful performing dog "Bluch," was pro nounced by all as excellent, as was the slack wire act by Leone and daring aerial acts by Howard and Germain. The five inning ball game between the Hebron and Lowell lodge teams was an interesting feature of the day's exer cises and after the smoke of battle cleared away it was found that Lowell had met Its Waterloo by the score of 8 to 3. The foot ball game made up of Lowell boys with Ed Brownell captain for one team and Bird Viant captain for the other was hotly contested, re sulting in a count of 6 to 0 in favor of Vlant's team'. The evening program consisted of a band concert, acrobatic and aerial feats. The fifty dollar diamond ring was drawn by Zern Wright of Rensselaer.

The spectacular fire scene by the Lowell fire department concluded the program and was one of the features. howing that the Lowell fire laddies are right there with the goods in case of a great conflagration. The dancers danced In the pavilion until a late hour. Outside of the accidents, which are regretted by all, the day was spent in one round of pleasure, commencing In the early morning and lasting until a ate hour In the night. The committees charge worked hard to give a good program and their efforts were cer tainly crowned with success.

CASXOX SAYS "DAMX. Speaker of the House Has Patience With Democrats. Joseph. Sept. 27.

Speaker Joseph G. Cannon and Congressman James Watson of Indiana spoke to arse audiences here yesterday after noon. In an interview Mr. Cannon said Democrats who declaje Itoosevvlt to bo the best Democrat who ever s.al a the White House are like the devil when he offered Christ all the king doms of the earth if the -Saviour would do his bidding.

GREENWALD PRESIDES Candidates for Various Offices Respond To Calls For Speeches With Short Talks. The real work of the Republicans of Lake county and Its candidates was opened this afternoon In the K. of P. hall. So large was the meeting that all the visitors could not be accommodated at the Republican headquarters, large as they are.

Prominent among the party workers who were present to launch the organization on Its work, were Fred A. Simms. candidate for secretary of state, and Judge Oscar Hadley. candidate for state treasurer. Mr.

Simms was introduced by County Chairman Cnnrles Greenwald. It was not Mr. Simms' first visit in Lake county, but upon taking the floor he could not suppress a sincere delight in seeing the real party spirit tnat was manifested by th excrllent attendance. Every seat in the spacious K. of P.

hall was occupied. Addressing the candidates and the committeemen Mr. Simms emphasized the necessity that it is a matter of personal business for each candidate and committeeman to make the work In the present campaign his personal business. He asked 'the audience to lay aside the work for the state ticket and takt up the work nearer home, directing their efforts toward party success in the county, and taying that when the work la carried on In that manner the state ticket would take care of Itself. He payed a high tribute to Lake county's standing, its success and Its resources and declaring that Marion county was beginning to look with a jealous eye upon the county in the north end of the state.

Air. Sims was followed in address by Judge Hadley. who, like the first speaker, dwelt on the necessity of the work to be done by the precinct committeemen. He also emphasized the fact that this campaign comes around In an off year and that It Is harder to interest the voters. "Let each man make it his business to hold the voters that we have had In the previous years, and we will go to the front as formerly," was one of the speaker's remarks.

Judge J. II. Gillette of this city followed with a few extemporaneous remarks which were timely and to the point Chairman Greenwald then called on the vaiious candidates for shori. speeches. the call being promptly met by Editor A.

J. Bowser of the Chesterton Tribune, and candidate for Joint senator from Lake and Porter counties. One quotation from Mr. Bowser's talk will sufBce to take him out of the light in which some of his enemies have tried to place him: "I stand on the Republican platform and I stand on every plank." Mr. Bowser was followed in turn by D.

E. Boone, candidate for prosecuting attorney; Schuyler Dwyer. candidate for Joint representative; Ernest Shortridge. candidate for clerk, and Lawrence Cox. candidate for sheriff, and others.

"The essence of committee work" was then brought up for a general discussion, after which the meeting ad journed. TO GET THE ECONOMY TEST Automobile Trade Association Decides to Hold Contest in this City. LOCATION! IN OUR FAVOR Crown Point Abandoned Because of Distance Eight Hundred Persons Expected to Participate. Because of Lake County's splendid gravel roads, Hammond has been chosen as the rendevouz for several hundred automobiles on October 19th, In the one gallon economy test of the Chicago Automobile Trade association and the Chicago Motor Club. The run will begin at Cedar Lake at about 10 o'clock in the morning.

Until last evening the rendevouz was conceded to Crown Point and extensive arrangements had already been made with hotels there for the accommodations of at least 800 guests. It was then the In tention of the promoters of the test to open the course in the county seat and end it In Cedar Lake. But upon personal investigation of Chairman Gun-ther and his colleagues yesterday at Cedar Lake they decided not to go over the same course twice during the test. To prevent this all the competitors will gather at Cedar Lake on the evening of October ISth and remain there for the night as guests in the Sigler hotel. On the following morning each com peting car will be supplied with Just one gallon of gasoline.

The length of the run for the various machines will vary greatly and Is estimated by some to reach from 10 to nearly 30 miles. The probabilities are that there will be machines all along the line from Crown Point to Hammond. Because of the hopelessness of these cars to turn around to go to Crown Point or Cedar Lake to learn the results. It was found expedient to let them go toward Chicago and meet In Hammond. The event Is not only to be a contest cf economy but also a pleasure affair.

The arrangement committee will endeavor to make this the chef d'oeuvre of the season. The "doings" will begin on the previous evening with an invitation banquet and will wind up In Hammond at noon. On that day this city will hold more automobiles than it has ever held on any other day. The roads in Lake County have been pronounced as ideal for the event by the motor enthusiasts. There is just enough up and down grade in them to take away the monotony of the even drive, besides giving the machines the right kind of a test.

Crown Point is inclined to feel somewhat slighted but has found satisfaction in the fact that it was the first choice and that it was passed up only for reasons of distance. Although the local agents have not received notice. It is understood that the Lake Shore and other railroads in the Central Passenger association have arranged a coup to stave off the two-cent rate legislation. At a meeting held In Chicago last Wednesday by the Central Passenger association it was decided to cut the fare to two and one-half cents and thus reduce the agitation for the two-cent fare. The two-cent fare is already In operation In Michigan and Ohio.

The two and one-half cent rate will not go into effect until Nor. HAMMOND CHARLEY FLiAfiG AS HE LOOKS ITS I HE OF HAMMOND.

The first three or four years of his life were spent in the quieter pursuits of farm life, but at the early age of 6- years his ambitious nature led him to seek a country school in the pursuit of knowledge, an undertaking which happily resulted in no serious harm.

At the age of 19 he entered the bonds of matrimony, in wnose meshes he still happily remains. His good fortune enables him to afford a family and a happy life of connubial bliss.

At present he is in charge of the Republican headquarters and is always ready to greet you with a smile and a hearty handshake that spells welcome in every action.

The latest news from West Ham mond is to the effect that two promlnr ent Hamond people rtre to be prosecuted for permitting their property In West Hammond to be used for Immoral purposes. It is alleged that Alderman John C.

Becker of this city owns the big brick building at IS and SO State street. which has always been known a the most disreputable dump In Whisky Itow. A prominent West Hammond official Is also the authority for the statement that J. J. Mettler, one of the prominent business men of this city, owns one of the other notorious joints.

The citizens' committee is Investi gating this phase of the matter care fully and it Is hinted that steps will soon be taken to prosecute these men for knowingly renting these buildings to the keepers of disorderly houses. The report haa been widely circulat ed that there have been several In dictments returned against the keep ers of the West Hammond resorts, but there does not seem to be definite Information on the subject. It Is known that the citizens com mittee, headed by Herman Rohloff. went to Chicago yesterday and placed before the grand Jury evidence that they had in their possession, but the jury did not have time to act up to the time of 'its adjournment, and the committee was promised that action would be taken against the West Ham mond offenders next month. There may have been an Independ ent movement on the part of States Attorney Healy to prosecute the dlve-keepera and a it is known that he had an assistant In West Hammond several daya ago securing evidence.

It may be that this is the source of the rumored indictments. It is expected that the developments will come thick and fast from now on. and as the outraged citizens are determined to put the dives out of business once and for all time, there Is pretty apt to be some exciting times In West Hammond la the near futue.
