iOUNTY- SEAT

URNED DOW Councilmen From Northern Townships Prevent the Appropriation. GROWN POINT PIQUED Another Special Meeting Will Be Held at Which Attempt Will Be Made to Get the Money. At a special meeting of the county council yesterday the appropriation of $90,000 for additions to the court house was denied, the vote on the proposition being as folows. For: Albert Foster, Lowell; Henry Seehauser, Dyer; Lewis Patee, West Creek and Otto Hlldebrandt, Crown Point. Against: Herman E. Vater, Whiting and Frank Charbach of Hobart. Charles E. Wicker, of Hammond was absent. At a special meeting of the council it is necessary to have at least 5 of the 7 members of the council in favor of a proposition In order to pass it and as those who were in favor of the measure could not muster more than four votes the appropriation was de feated. The failure to pass this appropria tion was a bitter pill for the people of the southern part of the county to swallow and they do not make any secret of the fact that they are sorely disappointed. Improvements are Needed. There is no question, that the county seat needs an enlarged court house for all of the county officials are In cramped quarters and It is said if there is no relief in sight in the near uture many of them will have to seek office rooms in some other building. Those who favor the appropriations for the Improvements say that the ouncilmen from the northern townhips ought to be as interested in havng proper quarters provided for the officials who represent them as much s the people of any other portion of the county. There were several Ham mond men who spoke In favor of the appropriation, among them being Vergil S. Reiter. Others who spoke in favor of the measure were Attorney Wickey of East Chicago, and Attorneys Peterson and Kopelke of Crown Point. Reason for Opposition. The opposition of the members of the council from the northern townships is based on the fact that although North, Calumet and Hobart townships are furnishing far more than their proportion of the taxes they have had very little from the county council in the way of appropriations for improvements. . The Martha Society of the Christian church was entertained yesterday af ternoon by Mrs. McNutt at her home in Indiana avenue.

Thousands of Them Still Live, A New York man died of enlargement of the head the other day, the remarkable feature of the case being that he died.

L0IS01E CAR I SIDETRACK

Or the Five Year Test of an Iceless and Saltless Preserver. SOMEONESHOBBY RESTS Fast Asleep in the Railway Yards It Wants to Prove That it Enbodies the Right Idea. Hammond has a hoax the size of a box car, one that has been of long standing and which was growing In mystery as the months rolled by. It is the railroad refrigerator car standing on the Michigan Central siding west of Hohman street, and although In seemingly good repair is never moved from its place. It has been standing there since the summer of 1903 and may continue to stand there ever so much longer, provided the proprietors pay the track rent, amounting to 20 cents a day. There are those in Hammond who never knew anything about the car, those who thought they did, and those who really do. Those who really do are the owners of the car and the office employes in the local Michigan Central freight depot, who are the originators and promoters of the joke, not only on the people of Hammond, but also on employes along the Michi gen Central line. Delect. o Smell. J. he accepted story about the car is that in 1903 it was placed on the Michigan Central siding as the re sult of a $5,000 bet to decide the ques tion whether this newly patented car could really preserve the meat, with which it is loaded, for five years with out applying any Ice or salts in the meantime. That ice and salt have never been applied is shown by the rusty door locks which have never been tampered with. In the meantime many hundreds of people have ob served the car and, when near It have tried to detect the odor of decaying meat, but failing in each instance, decided that the patented car was doing the work and that it would solve a great problem In transportation of meats. It was pleasing to think that at last a car had been invented which would preserve meat without ever applying ice or salt. ' What made the story all the more probable Is the wording on the car, which says -in bold letters, "Osborne Dioxide Refrigerator,' No Ice, No Salt." The true story and history of the car is that in 1903 it was built by the Hammond Pipe Line Service company which has since changed its name to the Calumet Gas and Supply company. The car In question was built as a sample with the intention of calling the attention of the big packing companies to its merits. When the car was finished the promoters had no more money with which to push their project, but decided that rather than sell their patent for a small piece of money, they would hold the car until such time as their financial backing should be strong enough to push their project a little further. Man cf Remarkable Powers. William H. Mack, of Brighton, England, is perhaps the only man living who can defy the laws of gravitation. Although he weighs but 125 pounds, a dozen strong men cannot raise him an inch from the ground, and an entire football team has failed to push him off the edge of a platform. His Fate Deserved. A western man fell and broke his neck while trying to kiss a woman on the stairs. Anyone who would take steps to kiss a woman is not entitled to sympathy. The thing should be spontaneous. Cleveland Leader. WOMAN JUMPS TEAIN. This morninf as the New York Im migration train passed through Ham mond, one of the foreign women Jump ed off the train and failed to get on again when the train pulled out. Officer Francks, who was at the depot, took the woman to the Michigan Central station and sent her on to Chicago over that road. CASTING FALLS ON WORKMAN. Frank Seffel. a laborer employed by the Standard Forge company, of Indiana Harbor, wasprobably fatally injured this morning while at work. Seffel assisted by several other laborers, was carrying a large casting when one of the men slipped, causing the casting to fall. Ie struck Seffel on the back. He was brought from Indiana Harbor to St. Margaret's hospital here where he is being cared for. WILLIAMS MAKES SETTLEMENT. William E. Williams, who was treasurer of East Chicago as the predecesa r it- . . sor oi aiusea epecior ana wno nad a difference with the city which at one time amounted to $2,200, was able to show where mistakes had been made which reduced this amount to $500 and settled with city for that sum.

STATE FIGHTS

DAVIS' PLEA Will Try to Prove Validity of Chicago Fire Protection Ordinances. FAILURE ILLEi TRIAL Healy Arrives and Will Take a Hand in the Prosecution Tomorrow State Satisfied. Special to Lake County Times). Danville, 111., March 8. The state to day hopes to prove to Judge Klmbrough that the fire and building or dinances of Chicago are valid. If it fails, the case of Will J. Davis, on trial here on the charge of manslaughter in connection with the Iroquois theatre fire, will go no farther. If the state proves its contention, the ordinances will be admitted as evidence. At the opening of court today Special Counsel George T. Buckingham began his argument. When the state concludes, which probably will be shortly after the opening of the afternoon session, Attorneys Mann and Calhoun will reply. The feeling prevails that Judge Kimbrough will give his decision tomorrow morning. "We are confident in our contention that the fire and building laws are valid and will be sustained," said Mr. Barbour when court opened. He had just had a long conference with Attorneys Kessler and Buckingham and State's Attorney Healy of Cook county, who arrived on a late afternoon train yesterday. Mr. Healy also was scheduled to Epeak on the validity of the ordinance. "We will cite just as many cases as Mr. Mayer did in attacking Judge Kavanaugh's recent decision, but it will not take us quite as tong," said Mr. Healy early. "I think four hours at the outside will cover all we have to say. lhe defense anounced that it will cite no more decisions, but make very short reply to our argument That means everything shold be be fore Judge Klmbrough tonight. "I feel assured that Judge Klm brough will sustain us. The ordinance may he defective in one or two minor points, but the supreme court has always sustained an ordinance, however, when It has to do with safeguarding of human life." In attack Judge Kavanaugh's de cislon Mayer declared that these were three material defects in It. He said they are: 1. Judge Kavanaugh read into the indictment that Davis used the Iro quois theatre building without the vent and fire appliances referred to in the city fire and building ordinances, which ordinances we claim are void. 2. He read into the ordinance that no one snouia use a tneatre until it had therein installed such vent and fire appliances. 3. He based his decision on the so called Slocum case, which is based on federal statutes, totally Inapplicable to the present question, upon two decisions of the supreme court of Illi nois, which not only do not support his opinion, but which are authorities against him. A great number of the points tha were to have been made today by the state were anticipated by Mr. Mayer in his argument.
