SiOE hprovenent ASSOCIATION TO MEET Will Gather to Discuss Matters of Importance to the East Side. There will be a meeting of the East Side Improvement Association at the Lafayette school building tonight at which the association will elect officers.

The meeting is an important one for the reason that the success of the organization depends upon the officers who will be elected tonight. The East Side Improvement Association has been a power for good in arousing the people of that section of thectty to activity but the actual results that have been accomplished are not as great as they might have been on account of the reluctance of the city administration to make the improvements that i i a 1 Ths; reulizeU however, that all the association can do is to make Its demands more and more insistent and when the time comes vote for an administration that will do something.

How's that for tough luck? We have decided to give you a new list of words, and tell you what the old missing words are, so that you can see where you fell down. Here they are: Small First Nat. Bank, E. Chicago. Special Hamilton Son.

Another move has been made by the Hammond postoffice department to secure an inter-city exchange of mall between Hammond. East Chicago, Indiana Harbor, and Gary.

Assistant Postmaster Otto Rabe of Hammond has written a long letter to the postoffice departmen at Washington pointing out that there are several cities in the Calumet region, which are located all of the way from two to ten miles apart, in which the postal service requires all of the way from twelve to twery-four hours for the dispatch of a lefier. Assistant Postmaster Rabe proposes that one of the cities of the region, preferably East Chicago because of its central location, be selected as the clearing station. If this were done a letter from Hammond to Indiana Harbor would be sent to East Chicago by the Green line and transferred to the Chicago, Lake Shore, South Bend line, "where it would be taken to Indiana Harbor in the fraction of an hour. Would Help Gary. A letter from Whiting to Hammond could be sent East Chicago by a Green line car and transferred to the East Chicago-Hammond branch of the same line and the time of transit would not be over an hour.

A letter from Gary Hammond could be sent in a pouch over either the South Shore line to East Chicago and transferred to the Green line at East Chicago, or It could be sent direct by the Gary Interurban 'line. There are a score of other combinations that could be Worked that would greatly facilitate the transporta-ation of mall between the cities of the region. Gary, for Instance, has no north and south railroad, and letters sent to Hammond and transferred to the Monon at that city would arrive at Indianapolis several hours sooner than they do now. This Is an Improvement that Assistant Postmaster Otto Rabe thinks ought to be made at once, and he has done all in his power to bring about the im provement, It would make it possible to write a letter in one city of the region to the other and receive an an swer the same day. The plan was taken up on a former occasion and East Chicago was selected as the clearing house for the mail bound for the various cities in the region, but the East Chicago postmaster threw cold water on the plan by stating that the office could not take care of the business.

Now that Mose Specter is postmaster at East Chicago it is hoped that this much needed arrangement can be made. Leaves on Vacation. Attorney "William Matthew Dunn, Yale, '07, will leave Gary tomorrow afternoon for a vacation extending over two weeks. Mr. Dunn will make an extended trip to New York City and New Haven.

This banquet is expected to be one of the most enjoyable affairs of the summer and those who desire to become members of the association are expected to put in their application before the banquet is held. HILL GET PURE WATER Before fall another danger to Hammond's drinking water will have been eliminated, because dredging from the lake will then be dumped behind breakwaters instead of promiscuously around the various water intakes in Lake Michigan.

Dispatches from "Washington yesterday announced that senate and house sonfereec had reached a final agree ment on the-Mann bill, which prohibits dumping within eight miles of the shore line of Lake Michigan, except behind brea waters for the purpose of making land. In the conference the senate representatives withdrew their demand for an amendment providing that the city should pay the extra expense imposed on contractors by compelling them to carry refuse eight miles out into the lake and should supervise the work. This left the bill ln Its original shape as it was introduced by Congressman Mann and passed by the house. Congressman!

The most peculiar automobile ao cident that ever happened tok place south of this place last night in which the wheel of a wrecked car hurled" from the car lodged in another car and nearly wrecked the latter. "While returning to Lowoll last evening in his automobile Chas. Bailey met with an accident which, endangered his life that of hia wife and child, and Mrs. Love, all being occupants of the machine at the time of the peculiar accident.

Mr. Bailey was going at a good rat of speedwhen qne of tie vjicd of the auto broke- away from the machine, throwing those in th-i car to the ground and narrowly escaping turning over into the ditch. Those In the machine were badly shaken up, but almost miraculously escaped serious injury although automobile, was badly damaged. At the time of the accident, Tom Lassen was driving by in his auto mobile when the disengaged wheel from the Bailey machine circled clear around the car driven by Lassen and lodged itself against the fenders of the latter car and tore them off one side. The latter accident is one of the most peculiar ever recorded and possibly the same would not occur again in a thousand years.

The Bailey party telephoned to town for assistance and were taken to Lowell in another machine. Republican State Chairman Is Unable to Find Where There Is Any Dissension in This Part of the Hoosier Domain. Indianapolis, June 17. Chair man Lee of the Republican state committee has returned from a trip through the northern part of the state, and he reports that the talk about the manufacturers being opposed to the re-election of Senator Beveridge is without foundation. Mr.

Lee spent some time ln Lake County where manufacturing is on the boom and where the largest manufacturing industries ln the state are located, and at South Bend, which also Is one of the largest manufacturing points in Indiana. He says the manufacturers who were said to be opposing Beveridge because of his stand on the tariff are not," opposing him at all. He said he found one peculiar situation among them, and he compared he argument being used with the one that was used in the case of the brewers of the state who fought against the enactment of the high' license law three years ago. The brewers at that time opposed the passage of this bill and laughed at the efforts to control their business. The result was that the brewers defeated the high license bill and later they were compelled to accept a county option law which was much more stringent restrictive on their bus-nets than any hisrh license law could LEE BACK FROM TRIP 10 LAKE CO, (Continued on i'age iuur.j.
