This Is another demonstration of the prosperity of the community and the popularllty of Hammond as a show town. The show at the Orpheum theatre this week has for its star attraction the "Three Weston Sisters," who are about as clever a trio of musicians as have been seen her in some time.

That Is why the bill was one act short last night But the deficiency has been supplied and the show is the usual first-class bill. Wanzer Palmer, in th comedy sketch, "Not at home," are good, and Fred Hall, who Is GET NEW SYSTEM For nearly three years Chief of Police Peter Austgen of Hammond has fought and begged for a new electric signal system, and during the past month his effects have been rewarded when an appropriation of $5,000 was set aside for this purpose. All' that now remains to be done is the choosing of one of three systems which will be installed in the spring. Although the Hammond police were abl to get along with the old telephone system, Chief Austgen realized the need of an up-to-date electric signal system which is being used successfully in other cities smaller than Hammond. Many times his Idea was turned down, but determined, 'Chief Austgen brought the matter up again and again until the city officials finally saw the need of a new system.

Several months ago Chief Austgen, Mayor J. D. Smalley and the police commissioners made a trip to Chicago Heights, where a new signal system had been installed. The system was found perfect in every detail and met with their approval after a thorough Inspection. They then wanted a like system, and after submitting an appropriation, $5,000 was granted.

Chief Austgen is highly elated with his success and hopes to have the signal system installed by the spring of 1913. With the new electric system headquarters at the Central station will be able to call every officer on the force within a period of 30 seconds, greatly adding to the efficiency of the department. During the day an officer on his beat will be called to his telephone box by a bell, while at night an electric flashlight will be used. Each officer is requested to report every hoir, and this is recorded on a paper tape stating the minute, hour, day and year. All calls are worked from the switchboard at Central station.

Plans of the new system have been received from the signal 'phone company of Milwaukee, who will give a demonstration ater the first of the year. Mayor Sent For.

The question for debate was: "Resolved, That women be given the right of suffrage." The judges were Mrs. Bonnie Robertson. Mrs. Mary Bost-wick and Mrs. S.

E. Swaim. In giving their decision they explained that it was given in accordance with the arguments presented in the debate Ttst night. The affirmative was composed of ladies who spoke in behalf of the W. C.

T. while the negative was championed by men, members of the Garfield club. The ladies were handicapped to begin with, as only one of the team originally selected, spoke. The original team was composed of Dr. Mary Jackson, Miss Virginia Brooks, and Dr.

Lena Watson. Miss Brooks sent a telegram early in the day that she could not be present, as she could not make train connections in coming frOm Michigan, and hoarseness prevented Dr. Watson in participating. Mrs. W.

H. Meyers substituted, she and Dr. Jackson dividing the time of their side between them. The negative was upheld by Attorney John M. Stinson, W.

W. Moberly and the Rev. C. J. Sharp.

One of the, strongest arguments advanced by the suffrage advocates was, that with the women having the right of the ballot that the liquor traffic would be abolished. To which the negative answered that in the ten states in the Union having woman's suffrage the liquor traffic continues, while the six temperance states in the Union have only male suffrage. It was on such arguments that the decision of the judges was based. Each side spoke for three-quarters of an hour, and the large audience was well entertained.
