Stock and 4 Convertible Bonds American Telephone and Telegraph Company A Aside from owning and directly operating all the long distance and toll lines, the great work (and substantially the entire expense) of the American Telephone & Telegraph Company is the administration of the affairs common to all its subsidiary companies. These comprise all the operating Bell Telephone Companies in the United States and Canada, including also the Western Electric Co. These it controls by a majority stock interest. At one expense with one effort, it solves a problemperfects a system tests, and adopts or rejects an invention or innovation; and the result serves for all its companies. Thereby it economizes time, effort, labor and expense, and preserves harmonious uniformity of construction, equipment and operation throughout the united Bell System. The Astonishing Growth Due to This Centralized Administration it best shown by comparing figures from the annual report of Januay 1st, 1909 with 1900. just prior to the acquirement of the business and property of the various Bell Telephone Companies.

(Special to The Times.) Indiana Harbor, Ind., Nov. 27. David J. Lewis of the Monarch Hardware company has been the recipient of two distinguished honors at the hands of the United States bureau of navigation. Yesterday he received two medals awarded him for valiant service in two of the most noted campaigns of recent years, the Boxer uprising in China and the war In the Philippines. Mr. Lewis has the distinction of being the only man in Indiana entitled to wear both medals, according to information which accompanied the medals from the United States bureau of navigation. The latter are each one and one-
sixteenth inches in diameter, made of gun metal and are as thick as a silver
dollar. The one awarded in connec
tion with the Boxer uprising bears on one side in bas relief a picture of one
of the gates In the walls of Pekin
with the Chinese dragon underneath
and below that the date. 1900. On the
outer upper edge is the inscription "Chinese Relief Expedition." On the other side is an eagle rest ing on an anchor, with the inserip
tion on the upper edge, "United States
Navy," and below the inscription "For
Service."
The medal is attached to a ribbon
striped in the Chinese colors, yellow
and black.
The Philippine medal is embossed with an "open door" on one side, the
words. "Philippine Campaign" above
and the date, 1899-1903, below. The reverse side is the same as that of the other medal, bearing an eagle, the
words, "United States Navy" and the
motto, "For Service." This is at
tached to a ribbon with the Spanish colors, two broad stripes of red with a
yellow stripe in between.
Mr. Lewis at the time of the two en
gagements for which he has received the medals, was doing yeoman service
to the chief engineer on the various
ships In which he sailed. He went to
the Philippines on the United States auxiliary cruiser Buffalo and arrived
in China to participate In the Boxer uprising on the gunboat Monocaci. He was taken off with twenty-one others
and sent to Tien-Tsin, where he was for ten days In the European concessions surrounded by 30,000 Chinese, and under continuous bombardment all the while, before help arrived in the form of reinforcements. The Chinese, however, were unable to break down the barricade and withdrew. Mr. Lewis enlisted Sept. 27, 1898 and received his discharge Sept. 17, 1901. He received a splendid discharge, with
a percentage of four and six-tenths out of a possible five per cent. During the Boxer campaign he served as a sharpshooter. He still has his ManHcher rifle that he UBed during the engagement. This rifle, by the way, was supposed to be turned in, hut a lenient superior officer winked while the "boys" made away with the weapons as souvenirs.

"With the present fine weather holding out for a few more weeks, buildingwork In Gary is being rushed and
at the end of that time will see the completion of a large number of residences and fiat buildings that are now
under the course of construction.
During the past week the concrete work on the water tower in Jefferson
street has been rushed and a few more
days will Bee its finish. The contract
ors have the gigantic tower Incased In a solid masg of reinforced concrete
and have now reached a point about
two feet from the top.
There are many building In Gary that with a few weeks more of the
present weather a great amount of
work could be done, so that the con
tractors would be able to finish the Interior work during the winter. The Englehart and Baker buildings on
Broadway, near Tenth avenue, are pro
gresslng nicely, the walls now being up to the second story. The Feuer fiat
building on Seventh avenue Is now In tlie hands of the plasterers, as is the Juanita building on Broadway belonging to John O. Bowers of Hammond. Contractor Eckert has a large force of men employed on the new Baptist church and the work Is also progressing nicely. There are but few reports of new buildings in the city of late. The general indication Is that parties contemplating erecting residences and fiats are holding off until next spring. It is not thought that work will be started on the new commercial club building, as the architect and the directors of the club have reached no settlement as yet. The new United Presbyterian church on the east side is also being held up until matters concerning the lots are being straightened. The present season has been one of great activity in Gary, but all contractors are looking forward to the biggest year in the history of Gary.

TIMES BUREAU, AT STATE CAPITAL. Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 26. The
brewers of Indiana appear actually to
have started in on the work of cleaning up the saloon business in this state.
iney nave declared for months that
such was their purpose, but nothing
was done to carry out the intention un
til now. But an important step lias been taken, and it is one which bodes ill for the saloonkeeper that violates
the law and for the brewer that un
holds or even countenances such vio latlon.
The Association of Indiana Brewers
has organized the Indiana Brewers'
Vigilance Bureau, the purpose of which
is to police the saloon business in In
diana and see to It that saloonkeepers
run their business as the law says It shall or may be run. L. E. Howe of Columbus, Ohio, a man who has had
several years' experience In Just this kind of work, has been employed to
take charge of the vigilance bureau
and he will devote his entire time to
It. One In Ohio. Ohio has had such a bureau for sev
eral years. After the stringent liquor license laws In that state were passed
the brewers decided that if the law
was to be enforced and If the liquor
business was to be cleaned up and pu
on a decent basis they would have to do it themselves. So they organized this vigilance burea and it has been in
existence ever since. Mr. Howe was
one of the men connected with it. The
Indiana bureau is ready to begin active
operations on Dec. 1. and from that
time on the saloonkeper that violates
the law or runs his place in a disreput
able manner had better look out.
J. R. Johnson, the secretary of th
Association of Indiana Brewers, says It
will be the purpose of the vlgilanc
bureau to regulate the saloon business
because It is from the saloon that th
brewery gets Its business. The bureau
will not undertake to deal with th
blind tiger question or the problem o
the Illicit sale of liquor. This, he says
Is the business of the local authorities. But the vigilance bureau will, hunt out evidence against the saloonkeeper who violates the laws and will place this
evidence before the local authorities
for action. It will work with the local
made anywhere else In the worliS, which is so harmless or will effect sd thorough and prompt a cure. This unusual preparation goes direct to tKc cause of trouble, distributing Its cleansing, healing and vitalising Influence directly upon the organs and glands affected and oompletes the cur before you realize It.

lay before the authorities all the evidence it gets. The brewers realise that
they have made mistakes in the past
and that they are now reaping the
whirlwind. They know they are
backed up against a stone wall and
that they must get themselves out of the trouble. They believe that the peo
ple of the state will soon see that they
are In earnest and that when the peo
ple find this out they will encourage
the brewers In the work."

quiry develops nothing that tends to ward certainty.
One of the official family of the Lake
County Democrat in speaking of any possible change of place for publica
tion, or the consolidation of any paper with the Lake County Democrat,
said that as far as he knew a change,
of office had not been within the recent contemplation of the officers and stockholders, although It had at one time been mentioned early in the pa
per's career. As to any merger, h said that he had heard nothing of It. The reports on the street, however, are more definite, although unauthorized. Both Gary and Hammond would take pride In producing the representative democratic organ of Lake county, and leading democrats who are not connected with any of the papers concerned think well of a merger. Stockholders and owners, as the case may be, are said to have held an Informal conference yesterday evening, but those In the meeting say there Is no significance attached to it, as their meeting was not one by prearrangement. It is realized by the democrats that the time for a thorough understanding is at hand for the beginning of the congressional and county elections Is' at the door, and those In the party! who have the welfare of the party in mind would prefer not to take any chances among a Kllkemy cat fight among the papers.

After many delays, the brass poles with which the firemen slide down to

and are being installed today In Gary.
There Is no doubt that by this time next week the fire company will, be
housed in their new quarters In the municipal building:. The new cots and
furniture for the sleeping quarters
have also arrived, so after the poles have been put In their places there Is nothing to prevent the company mov

Chief Feely, as soon as his men are
located In the new building, will ask
Mayor Knotts for at least eight or ten
more men and will organized a new
truck company. The big, new hook and
ladder wagon, recently purchased by
the city, is of little use without extra
men, as It would necessitate taking several of the regular firemen off the
auto patrol to man it properly and they can hardlv be snared. Of course for
the time being, Chief Feely will trv

Amount of Rainfall. Recent authorities assure us tliat If all the rain which falls upon the earth were allowed to accumulate in a basin of the same area of the terrestrial surface, it would almost be a collection of eight feet deep at the end of the year. The heaviest rainfall kriown upon the earth occurs upon the mountain slopes beyond the head of the Bay of Bengal and amounts upon the average to 610 inches, or nearly 51 feet, in the course of the year. One inch of rain implies a fall of 101 tons of water upon each acre of ground.

one else or any other organization that
tries to bring about the sajne result. The bureau will have a staff of field
men whose business it will be to go out In the state and nose around for evidence of law violations by saloonkeepers. It will keep an eye at all times on the saloonkeepers. There are only
twenty-two counties in the state now In which liquor may be sold, so the brewers' association believes it will not be a difficult matter for the men of the vigilance bureau to cover the ground and keep things straight. Makes "o Difference.
Mr. Johnson says that it will not make any difference what kind of beer the law violating saloonkeptr sells. The various brewers will all look alike to the vigilance bureau. No crusade will be made against any one set of saloons, neither will any brewery be able to induce the bureau to leave Its saloons alone. Neither will there be any discrimination in favor of or against the saloons that sell beer manufactured by brewers who are not members of the organization. An outside brewer will have the same treatment that the association brewers will get. The following breweries are members of the Association of Indiana Brewers: T. M. Norton Brewing company of Anderson; "Walter Raupfer Brewing company of Columbia City: The F. W. Cook Brewing company and the Kvansville Brewing company of Bvansvile; Berghoff Brewing association and C. L.

These are th breweries that are supporting the vigilance bureau, and these are the ones that arc to undertake to clean up the sa!on business in Indiana. These are not the only brewerips in the state, but they are so strong in their organization that they will be able to carry out the plan, provided the plan is followed.

"This thing cannot be done In a minute." Mr. Johnson continued, "but it can be done in time. It would not be possible for tlie bureau to cover every eountv at the same time but it will
