Jack Haverty, Engineer and Emil Bossard, Fireman, Meet Tragic Death. Ell I8TI DITCH Rescuers Work Several Hours Eefore Bodies of Victims are Recovered from Debris. Jack Haverty, engineer on the Chicago Junction, and his fireman, Emil Bossard, both of this city, were killed In a railroad wreck yesterday evening at Chicago Ridge, between Blue Island and Franklin Park. The engine was derailed and lay in the ditch during the whole night. The remains of the two employees could not be removed until after several hours of hard work. Haverty was pinioned in his seat by the throttle that he had regulated for years. Bossard lay under the engine, where hoi water, escaping steam and burning cinders poured onto him. The inquest began at 2 o'clock this afternoon at Blue Island. It was learned last night that the fatal accident happened because of the derail being open. Haverty, who is the oldest engineer on the road, left his home yesterday morning to begin the meat run. It was while he was on his way home in the evening, near C o'clock, that he passed through Chicago Ridge. One side of the story is to the effect that he had received the semaphore target signal to rasa but that it was later taken away from him when the. operator saw a Wabash train approach. A second story is to the effect Jtliat the meat train followed closely a freight, which had received the target, and Engineer Haverty, thinking it would be given to him also, continued to follow the first train, and. consequently found himself in danger when the derail was opened. The true cause will probably be established at the coroner's inquest this afternoon. The friends of Haverty remembered this morning of hearing him tell of a narrow ecsape that lie had about a year ago at the same place and with the same towerman. Emil Bossard, the fireman, had been firing for Haverty for only a short time, this being his first route on which he worked as a regular. He was delighted with his work, especially since it was a regular run and In company with Haverty. Because of unlooked-for circumstances Bossard leaves a mourning fiancee instead of a bride on her honeymoon. Emil Bossard and Miss Anna Zimmer, of 407 State street, were to be married last August, but postponed their wedding until November. The remains of the two m?n will be brought to Hammond this afternoon after t ho inquest is over. Both Haverty and Bossard are members of the Brotherhood of American Locomotive Engineers and Firemen. Haverty, who is 49 years old, has lived here for years, and leaves a widow at 4 7 Clinton street. Bossard Is 23 years old and lived with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Rudolph Bossard, S83 Wolter street. LABOR AT I'lUCE. Less Trouble In Indiana thun Ever Before, says Commissioner MeCorniack. Indianapolis. Oct. 13. K P. McCormack, state labor commissioner, said today that he had never seen so little trouble among the labor elements of the state as there has been within the last year. "Barring some trouble with the structural workers in Indianapolis, and gome trouble in Hammond and Indiana Harbor. I might say that Indiana has had no serious labor trouble of any kind In the last year." said Mr. McCormack. "Little difficulties have happened and have been adjusted by this department, but. for the most part they do not deserve the title of difficulties. "This conies largely because of the fact that in the larger establishments the employers and employees are getting together more than they ever did before." continued the speaker. ' Each side to the controversy is getting to realize more and more that the other felow' has a side to his grievance, and the honest attempt is made to get together in some conciliatory means. The result is that conciliation and arbitration are rapidly taking the place of strikes, boycotts and lockouts. "Laboring men are getting more conservative and temperate, too." continued Mr. McCormack. So, also, are the labor leaders. They talk matters over to a greater extent, and this, with the reading of their union papers, gives them a better understanding of the economic conditions under which they work."

Hammond Women Organize Club for Serious Study of Homely Occupations. HUP IS LIMITED Cooking a Feature Owing to Kitchen Limitations Only Twelve W omen May Join. The club that was organized at the home of Mrs. Andrew Quigley, 42 Warren street, Thursday night for the purpose of studying domestic arts and sciences as briefly outlined in the Times social columns. Is interesting. Mrs. Andrew Quigley. Mrs. Edward Ames and Mrs. Mary Holm were the organizers and although the membership is to bo limited to twelve members on account of the difficulty in accommodating a larger number in tho average kitchen, the members of the original club will encourage their friends to start other "centers." as they call them, and it is hoped that the interest in the work will spread to all parts of the city. The course of instruction will be the same as in .the Chicago School of Arts and Sciences, which is affiliated with the Armour institute and has as its patronesses such well known women as Mrs. lMiillip D. Armour, its honorary president; Mrs. William Penn Nixon, Mrs. George L Harvey, Mrs. Francis Farwell and a dozen other of Chicago's leading society women. . . This Is the first time a club has been organized In Hammond for the study of this most important subject, although the Woman's club did take up the matter some time ago ami Tdis-: cuss it at several of its sessions. : '.- The aim of this club is not merely to impart the technical rkill and knowledge so desirable to those who glude the home, but to train women to a broad scientific view of the wholerange of subjects allied to the proper management of the home. The amount of tuition that is charged and the difficulty that the members would have in attending the classes in Chicago makes it impossible for them to take the work at the Armour institute and so the members have adopted the plan of having Mrs. W. F. Bridge attend eacli one of the lectures and by getting notes and the necessary reading matter, redemonstrate the lectures before the ladles here. There is a wide range of subjects that are included in the study of domestic arts and sciences, among them being courses in choking, millinery, sewing, home making, home nursing and home economics. The course that will be taken up by the club this year will be that in cookery and will include a cook's course, serving course, invalid cookery course and chafing dish lectures. There will be 'three terms of ten lessons each this year. The first meeting was a very successful one and the following are the names of the twelve members who compose the club: Mrs. Andrew Quiugley, Mrs. Edward Ames, Mrs. Mary L Woods. Dr. Eleanor Scull, Mrs. D. C. Atkinson, Mrs. Mary Holm. Miss Alice Holm. Mrs. John H. Gillett, Mrs. Robert Gillis. Mrs. W. F. Bridge, Mrs. Dan Moran and Mrs. George B. Sheerer. i LOCAL MACCABEES ENTERTAIN. The Hammond Maccabees are arranging to give a Hallowe'en party and entertainment on Wednesday evening:, Oct. 31. All members of tho K. O. T.

The surprise In the Fendig hearing came Friday when the cross-examination took Witness Fend iff into hand, and he wilted entirely, admitted that he hud been a frequenter of the Rosenbaum gambling room up to the middle of August, and that lie had never lost or won in ore', than twenty-live dollars at any one .sitting". He apparently could not get over the questions of the prosecution without perjuring himself, and he made a clean -sweep of the charge that resulted in the action of the superintendent. State School Superintendent Cotton and Attorney 11. W. Howling arrived from Indianapolis on the 9:55 train, and. after they had registered at the Makeover House, at once 'took up the hearing of the Fcndig license revocation, brought to the state superintendent on appeal from the action taken some weeks ago by County Superintendent Hamilton. Mr. Howling is from the office of State's Attorne:--General Miller, and lias no legal connection whatever with the case, merely acting as an advisor to Superintendent Cotton in determining such legal matters as are forced into tiic matter.

Escapes in "His Delirium Through Window From St. Margarets. CM ey OF Clad Only in Underwear and Overalls, He Is Marched Barefooted through Streets. Dare headed and bare footed, clad only in his undershirt and a pair of misfit overalls, William Ilogan of Fioby was marched through Hammond streets early this morning between two policemen, who captured him on State street. ' Hogan was at St. Margaret's hospital last night ostensibly as a typhoid fever patient .but early this morning violent delerium tremens symptoms developed from the effects of Ilogan's too frte indulgence in the use of intoxicants during the past few years. So troublesome did he become to the sisteis that it was found necessary to lock him in the basement. There alone by himself Hogan began to see everything that he had never seen before. His worst hallucination was the idea that somebody was trying to gi'e him a drink of water. He tried to escape his imaginary tormentor but he was a prisoner. He finally broke through the window, clad only in his under garments, and made his way through the alleys eastward. Immediately there was the report on the streets that a wiid man was at large, threatening everybody who tried to stop him in his mad career. Wherever he appeared he spread alarm although he was really harmless, lie wandered about like a man trying to escape. Soon he was in the hands of Cue police who secured a pair of overalls for the unfortunate man. His feet and head were still bare. The officers took aim between them and marched him toward the police station. Hogan was unconscious of his surroundings. The blank look in his eyes and the Hushed ! face told the story. To a rational peri son it would have been extremely pain- ! ful to tramp bare footed on the cold I cement sidewalk which had not yet i been warmed by tin- morning sun. It j seemingly did not hint Ilogan, but i wherever he passed he met with symi pathetic glances. "Why can t Ilam- ; mond have a patrol wagon for these : unfortunates so that it will no longer be necessary to parade their misery in ! public?" was asked by more than one : person who saw Hogan. Other cases ; were recalled where drunks had been ' the object of public disgust and dis- ! grace for an hour at a time before they ' could be placed behind the bars. Hogan was taken to the hospital where he submitted t:f being dressed and was then sent to Koby, where he ' stays with ex-Alderman Jack Brennan.

This May Xot However Rnch Hnnly Until . xt Week and tUe novernor Expected to Hold Same I', Few (Special to Lake County Times.) Indianapolis, Oct. 13. The report of tho committee that has been at work In the State AudiSoT'iiHefeojuiftrniRg the insurance companies lifeof this State will probably be made some time next week. The committee has now tinisheJ the collecting of data, and the work of compilation has occupied all of this present week. It is understood that' this is not all done as yet, and that the report will probably not reach the hands of Governor Hanly until some time next week. The governor will then keep it a few days before giving it out. The report will be voluminous, it is understood, and contain all facts and figures available concerning each of the thirteen companies including accounts of money paid out in special contracts, in operating expenses, in organization expenses and in premiums. It is stated that some of the companies will be very tieavily scored for their large managing and operating expenses; others will escape with slight censure, and one or two will be- almost directly praised, according to the advanced reports. The report will probably comprise over 300 typewritten pages; contain resumes of each company, and certain recommendations that the next legislature will be calfed upon to follow in making some laws. They were somewhat foreshadowed in the speech of Governor Hrnly at Tipton, and it is known that this report will be used by the Republicans as campaign ' material the argument being that the Republicans must be permitted to' keep in power so that they may complete the work that has already been begun. C. C. Shirley and W. C. VanArsdel. the two Indiana man nominated on the Independent ticket for the directors of the two big Xew York companies the Mutual Life and the Xew York Life have secured the indorsement of promi nent Republicans and Democrats for their candidacy. Letters have been written to the Indiana policyholders of these two companies In behalf of ShirIcy and VanArsdel by Hugh Daugherty and John W. Kern, prominent Democrats and ex-Auditor of State, W. 11. Hart. The policyholders are to begin to vote next Thursday, Oct. 18. and from then on the campaign will assume a more vigorous shape In the State. EAGLES SEE I.OCAI. BOXERS. The East Chicago E-gles had a big celebration last night ar.d were entertained by several Hammond boxers. Karl Anderson was the principal attraction and succeeded in putting two fighters that were pitted against him, Anderson went three rounds with Rill Ahlendorf and three with Barber Cody. It is said that the barber made th best showing against the Hammond welterweight, but it was evident that Anderson would be too much for him in a longer fight.
