ASTOUNDS POLICE WITH FABRICATIONS

Year Old John Gavolek Charged With Theft, Infant Ananias. A little lad eight years old giving the name of John Gavolek was brought into the police station this morning on the charge of stealing a tricycle and when asked where he lived concocted a string of falsehoods that didn't correspond to his size or age. He finally consented to take one of the policemen to his home and led the officer to a house somewhere near the end of State street and asked the officer to remain outside until he could go in and Sethis mother. The officer desired to go in himself as he suspected that the boy was trying to get away and while there learned from the woman of the house that she had never seen the lad before. He was therefore brought back to the station and his further attempts to lead the police on "wild goose chases" proved futile. It was afterward learned that the boy Jived in West Hammond whereupon he was turned over to the village authorities who soon Identified him as a boy who had just returned from the reform school and was known to be a bad character.. He will no doubt be given a chance to renew his acquaintances at that place for a period of time which may help to change his views of life.

SUBURB DE LUXE AT CHESTERTON Senator A. J. Bowser and Other Chesterton Men are Interested in Property.

The Chesterton Realty company has just closed a deal whereby it becomes the holder of the title of all of the platted lands of tho Porter Land company, in Chesterton. In these additions, which number four, there are about 1.S00 lots. . The fourth addition has never been touched, and laving con venient to the railroad depots will make an ideal site for suburbanites. The Chesterton Realty company is now at work on a plan whereby the streets running east and west may be opened from "Morgan Park to west end of the corporation. On Aug. 1 the Pake Shore company will give a reduced rate between South Chicago and Chesterton, making this point the same rate from Gary that it does to South Chicago. This fact makes the undertaking of tho realty company to build a suburb for the great Calumet region, feasible, for the reason that rents west of Gary are four times as high as they are here and the cost of traveling the same. The Chesterton Realty company is organizing its force of agents, and wants good representa;i ves .in all of the cities and towns that have rail communication with Chesterton east of Englewood. The company will pay profitable commissions to its agents, and wants the best class of men. The price list of lots in all of its subdivisions are being fixed, and the first 100 lots will be sold very cheap to actual settlers. Prices are bound to advance very rapidly and those who buy next week will make money. To those who do not know who the members of the Chesterton Realty company are, we will say that the concern is composed of the following men: A. J. Bowser, president; Edward L. Morgan, vice president; Charles L. Jeffrey, secretary ami treasurer; F. II. Wilson and L W. Landman. Mr. Bowser is the editor of the Chesterton Tribune, Messrs. Morgan and Jeffrey are Chesterton bankers; Mr. Landman is western passenger agent of the Lake Shore Railroad company, and Mr. Wilson is the superintendent of the Lake Shore. All of the men in the company are responsible, well known and capable. They believe that con ditions warrant the building of a sub urban city here, and all concerned will be benefited. It will be readily seen the Lake Shore company will receive a lasting benefit from the building of such a city, as suburbanites must be carried to and from their work the disstance being but fifteen miles from the great industrial center makes it possible to make the distance Inside of twenty minutes and trains are now running that will accommodate the workers. PLEADS NOT GUIL1V; BOUND OVER It $900 Henry Martin, Principal in Highlands Stabbing Sent to Crown Point. Henry Martin, principle in the manhunt at Highlands last night was given a preliminary hearing before Judge McMahon and was bound over to the Lake Superior court on a five hundred dollar bond. Martin plead not guilty to the charge of assault although the evidence given by Cornelius Kicker the man who received the wound and who discovered the stolen bicycle in the shed belonging to the boarding-house keeper Grant Moltes, was clear and con cise. Martin showed the came indiffer ance and coolness in the trial which he manifested at the time of his arrest. He will now be forced to remain in jail until the convening of Superior court when he will be tried before Judge Reiter. In the mean time his record will be looked up at Oswego which he claims as his home town in an attempt to throw a little light on his past history. T STRIKE SETTLEMENT South Chicago Don't Believe That Oremen's Difficulties are Nearly Over South Chicago, July 26 Although the information was sent broad cast over the country yesterday that the oremen's strike had been settled It received very little credence among the sailors and dock hands of South Chicago who are in an enforced idleness on acount of the strike. AVhile the strike Is more rarticularily felt in the ports along Lake Erie it is also very notieable here, not only among the ship hands but also among the ore users. Three large ore ships in the local port are awaiting the information that i the strike has been declared off. They are the Steel King, John Smcaton and the E. M. Peck. Should the ore men's strike be settled as it is expected that It will be within the very near future, the dock men may still have to remain out in the cold for the reason that they are on a separate strike and that a settlement is not so near at hand as with the ore men. The report from the north side of the great lakes Is to the effect that many of thern are going back to work -with -out awaiting a settle

A committee of prominent Catholics from West Hammond will go to Chicago the first of next week to confer with Archbishop Quigley in regard to establishing a Catholic church in West Hammond. Some time ago a committee from the village went to Chicago and laiKea tne matter over with the Archbishop, he thought it would be a good plan and asked tho committee to can vass their territory for the purpose of seeing how much could be raised towards the erection of the building, the committee returned to the village and since their trip to Chicago have worked hard and from what can be learned they have secured promises of enough money to make the affair a sure go. The people across the lino now have to come to Hammond to attend the Catholic church and they think they ought to have a rarish of their own across the line.

REUS 10 001 PAYiJSJflSTED Sporty John Jacobs Rounded Up At Standard Steel Works. John J. Jacobs, alias Fuller the sporty young swindler who took French leave from the house In which he roomed and 100 worth of property at the same time was caught last night by Officer Mover of the Standard Steel Car company, just as lie had arrived to collect the pay due him for the two weeks he had worked at the plant. The Standard Steel police had previously been notified that Jacobs was wanted by the police of Hammond as it was thought that he would return to get his pay berore e skipped out of the city. He was caught just as he entered the gate, by Moyer who brought him to town and turned him over to Chief Itimbach. At the preliminary hearing this morning In the city court Jacobs ad mitted taking a pair of trousers but said that he did It because his were getting so old that he didn't like to wear them. He also said that as soon as he could get a new pair he intended to return them to the owner. He pleaded not guilty to the other charges, namely of stealing the gold watch and other valuables which were missed. Tho evidence was strong enough, however, to bind him over to the Superior court under $900 bonds. Jacobs is twentythree years old and looks the part of a sneak thief. ment and leaving the question of the increase in wages as a matter of arbi tration. The dock hands are not organized in a union but it is the belief of South Chicago marines that only an intelligent organization among them would be successful. The Sir "William Seinman, one of the Pittsburg Steamship company's boats, which has heretofore always carried Iron ore. arrived in South Chicago yesterday from Buffalo. N. Y.. with 6,500 tons of coal, this being the first coal that any of the trust's ships have ever hauled. The coal was consigned to the Philadelphia-Reading Coal and Iron company. The explanation in this change of policy is found in the lore strike situation, the company pre ferring to haul coal instead of letting the beats be Idle to await the settlement of the strike.
