LAKE BATH HOUSE

SGiOnUOIRRIO Many Add Their Testimony That the Place is Not Rightly Conducted. Since the Lake Covnty Times published its article criticising the management of the bath house on the lake front there has been enough evidence of a confirmatory nature called to the attention of the paper to leave no doubt as to the fact that the Roberts regime is anything but what is should be. Tho day after the article appeared a Mr. Arnold of Whiting, and E. W. Jewett of Robertsdale, called up over the phone and stated that the Times was right in all that was said about the management of the bath house. Mr. Jewett said ho permitted his daughters to go over there to bathe. He said they were clucked 23 cents for their suits, 5 cents for their stockings and 5 cents for their caps, making a total of 35, when the charge is supposed to he but 25 cents. He said that from his own knowledge rooms were reserved for those who had bought suits when they are supposed to be open and free to everybody. Itonrd Should Art. Mr. Jewett said he thought the board of public works ought to take the whole business out of Robert's hands and hire a man to run the place, lie siid that as a money making scheme it was a fine thing for Roberts and a mighty poor thing for the people of Hammond. Mr. Arnold was of the same opinion and declared it was a shame that peple who had their own suits were discriminated against. In Hammond it was found that there were dozens of young men who had a vigorous kick to register against the manner in which Roberts is running the bath house. There are a number who do not care to have their names mentioned but who will bo willing to go before the board of public works and make complaint if necessary. "Of course there are times when the crowds tax the capacity of the b:th house nnd when it Is difficult to keep track of things," says the boys who make these complaints, but they also believe that this is no reason why they should not be courteously treated by the people who are there as the ser vants of the public. POSSE STILL HUHIS TOLD MAN Maniac Shows Himself on Several Occasions; Countryside is Terrorized. Beating the brush and hunting high and low through the woods and sand plains, the posse led by Deputy Sheriff Trost and the officers from the East Chicago station, wero unsuccessful in finding the hiding place of the wild man who terrorized the settlements between Hammond and Gary particularly in the section around Pine station. After shooting one man, the maniac has managed to get under cover every time he saw any number of men approaching and he evidently knows the woods and fields about that section better than tne officers. Ho was seen again this morning by farmers who say that he wore an automobile cap, a hunting vest loaded with cartridge shells, and still carried the double barreled gun. He was given a wide berth by the farmers, as it was remembered that he used his buckshot without any regard as to whom it came in contact with. The section is sparsely settled and the dense undergrowth gives him every chance in the world to escape his pursuers. With the cunning of the maniac, he has been able to secret himself, and at the same time get a living from the fields and from the hen roosts. The people in that section are in a state of terror, and the men will not leave their homes to go to work in the fields unless they leave their families guarded. All are carrying their weapons and will use them if confronted by the wild man in his wanderings. They describe him as being about 6 feet tall and of a very wild appearance. It is said that he wears a long beard of seraggly appearance. The search is being kept up all day by the officers. REVIVAL INTEREST CONTINUES. Hot Weather Fnils to Put a Damper on Cal huIaiii of the Meetluga. The interest in the Shelburne. revival is still constant in spite of the intensely hot weather. A blue Monday did not even suffice to put a damper on things and the Monday meeting was well attended. The chorus was as large as ever and there were in the neighborhood of 125 singers in the choir. Professor Clark Learning sang a solo, entitled, "When Shall I See Him." Mr. Shelburne's sermon was one of the most interesting ho has yet delivered and he took as his subject, names and prefers to let the audience increased interest are expected this evening. Great plans art being made for the men's meeting next Sunday and it is hoped that at least 1,000 men will be present. Mr. Knight has secured the co-operation of every one in the city who sings, but prefers not to announce their "Repentance." A large audience and see who appears next. The evening service was followed by a baptismal service at the church where Rev. Sharp immersed thirty new members. For the convenience of the public, the Blck Laundry has opened a downtown drop office at Mee'3 cigar store. Bundles dropped at this office will receive prompt attention. 7-15-2U

GRAVES LIFE TILNULT 23 Mrs. Oliver Morton Prays She May Live to Witness Husband's Honor.

REPORTED DYING Widow's Illness Drawback to Plans For Dedication of War Governor's Monument, (Special to Lake Connty Tiiuem.) Indianapolis, July 1G. One week from today the monument erected to the memory of Oliver P. Morton will be unveiled and dedicated. Aside from the sickness of Mrs. Morton, nothing seems to stand in the way of a satisfactory and complete observance of the unveiling. Today, when the reception committee, composed altogether of local men, was given out, the details of the exercises were practically completed. Will Mrs. Morton be well enough to take any part in the exercises to the memory of her husband? This is the most important question that holds the commission in charge of the affair up in its work. Mrs. Morton was to have been given special honor, in tho parade, on the platform, at the camp tire at night. She lias been reported to be dying several times, but yesterday she was reported better. And this has been the report for several days past. It Is thought probable, however, that however much better she may get, she will not be able to take any part in the exercises. She has expressed the desire that she might live until this monument to the memory of her husband was formally unveiled, and it may be that she will be alive on that day. Rut she will not be able to take any active part in the day's program. The Program. The program as finally arranged today is as follows: Music by a band; invocation by the Rev. Joseph S. Jenckes; song by a double quartette; report of the secretary of the commission by the Rev. D. R. Lucas; presentation of the monument to the state, by Dr. Warren King. Greenfield, president of the commission; and address by Governor Hanly. The parade will be participated in by three battalions of the Indiana National Guard and by the members of the several G. A. R. posts over the state. The guard will escort the governor down to tho speaking stand and on the, way will p,iek up the G. A. R. formation. Arrived at the monument, on the east plaza of the state house, the G. A. R. members will file in on the state house ground, where there will be reserved seats for 2,000 if necessary, and the three battalions will dispose themselves about the platform to keep the crowd from the places reserved. Grond.Hon to 'Withdraw the Screen. Seats will bo reserved on the plaza, and on a platform on a level with the plaza, extending over the steps and sidewalk. Then about five feet above the plaza and this platform over the sidewalk will be erected another platform on which the speakers and those who take part in the exercises, Including Oliver Perry Morton, grandson of the war governor, will sit." The grandson is to pull the mechanism that releases the flag from about the monument. On this platform, too, will be several old rersonal friends of Morton, including Isaac Henkinson, Richmond; Riley McKeen, Terre Haute; and many from Indianapolis and other cities, so that in all there will be about fifty on this elevated stage. These are to be the old friends who stayed at home during the war and gave Governor Morton the support that he needed here. It is probable that none of the governors who have been invited to attend, will be able to get here. All of them responded to the invitations sent out, and several especially expressed the hope that they could come. One or two may come, but there will be no large representation. FIND MUTILATED MAN LYING BESIDE TRACK. Italian Laborer Discover John Kurasch at St. Jobo, Minus Arm Injured Man Is Old and Alone in the World Sent to Crown Point To Be Cared for. (Special to Lake County Times.) St. John, July 15. Early this morning as some Italian laborers were walking along the Monon tracks, they found John Kurasch lying on the side of the track, near the switch-stand, with one of his arms cut off. At what time this happened or by which train he was struck, has not been learned. The injured man was picked up and carried to the Monon depot. Telephone messages were sent to Crown Point for a doctor and an ambulance to take him to the county Institution. Kurasch is an old man. single, and the whereabouts of his relatives are unknown. For the last number of years he has made his home at St. John. MICHIGAN CITY'S MAYOR HERE. Mayor Fred C. Miller of Michigan City, was in Hammond yesterday in company with Mr. Geist, who la Lake county's gas and electric magnate. The two were in a fine red touring car and in the afternoon left for Blue Isl and where they went to look after some of their properties. Mr. Geist, who formerly lived in Hammond, is an enthusiastic automobilist, and owns a fine White Steamer. J. Floyd Irish was in Crown Point today on business. According to Hoyl, .1M0 subscriber means 50,000 readern every day.

BOW

GIBSON YARDS TO JEENURGED Information Received That Michigan Central Will Switch Here.

Information from a reliable source indicates that the Michigan Central railroad will not only move its shops and division headquarters to this city and abandon Michigan City, but that this railroad has entered into an agreement with the Indiana Harbor railroad by which the Gibson yards are to be enlarged and all of the switching of tho two railroads is to be done at Gibson. It is said that there will be in the neighborhood of 4 0 railroad employes who will live in Hammond as soon as the new plan goes into tffoet. A few days ago Tun Lake County Times printed a story to the effect that the shops and division headquarters of the Michigan Central road would be moved here, but the fact that the switching for this road, necessitating an increase In the facilities in the Gibson yards, would be done here is something new. It indicates the close relationship of the Michigan Central, a Vanderbilt line, with the Chicago. Indiana & Southern, also a Vanderbilt line, and is significant of future moves along is line. The local railroad officials are reti cent and cannot be persuaded to discuss the matter, but they do not deny that all of these things will ultimately take place, and it appears to be only a question of time. Gibson is destined to be an import ant part of Hammond and great activity in all lines of railroad work is looked for. It is said that now the Indiana Harbor railroad and the Chicago Junction road have amalgamated, the industrial agent of both systems will inaugurate a campaign for industries and that a great many of them will doubtless be located here within the next year or so. 3 SUCCUMB TO HEAT 111 SOUTH CHICAGO Men in Various Vocations Prostrated; Second Experience of One Victim.
