WOMEN CONVICTED OF GRAND LARCENY Pair of Gary Disreputables Found Guilty Receive Sentence Tomorrow.

MAY GET FOURTEEN YE Crime Theft of $65 From Man In "Kedlight" District Police Wring Confession. A pair of Gary's disreputable colored women, Tina Howell and Henrietta Sears, were convicted of grand larceny in the Superior court yesterday. A motion for a new trial will be argued tomorrow, and if denied the defendants will be sentenced by Judge Peiter Wednesday. The penitentiary imprisonment for the crime is from two to fourteen years, the length of the term being determined by the prison board. The crime of which the Howell and Sears women were found guilty was committed on the afternoon of Sept. 8 in a tent in the red ilght district of Gary. Gus Kohler, a structural iron worker, accompanied the Howell woman into a room in the tent, a muslin partition dividing the tent Into two rooms. Kohler incautiously left his coat on a chair in the compartment where the Sears woman was. In Kohler's coat was a pocketbook containing $75. During his absence $60 of the money disappeared. Kohler charged the Sears woman with stealing the money, which she denied. Howell Woman Confesses. He complained to the police department and Officer Mulcahy arrested the two women. Tina Howell made a written confession In the presence of Chief of Police Martin, Judge Fitzgerald and George Barden, assistant prosecuting attorney for Lake county. The defense undertook to bar this testimony on the ground that it was given under duress, but Chief Martin, Judge Fitzgerald and Assistant Prosecutor Barden testified that the confefslon was given voluntarily and freely by the Howell woman, who made the remark at the time that "she was in for it, and might as well own up." The admission of the confession, supplemented by the evidence of the prosecuting witness, Kohler, took the props from under the defense and made it easy for the jury to arrive at a verdict, which they returned after an hour's deliberation late yesterday afternoon. , Prosecuting Attorney Boone, assisted fey-'Franfc BardeticiticTucted'thtJ jstate's case. -The a-ecused were defended by Harris and Bretesh and J.

TO REDUGEEXPENSES Orders Sent out From Headquarters to Retrench Not in Effect This Fall.

Pittsburg, Pa.. Sept. 23. Another order has been sent out from the headQuarters of the Pennsylvania railroad company to reduce expenses. This, however, will not affect the improvement work that is to be started this fall. To Save $1,000,000 a Month. Reports made to headquarters show that the expenses in the operation of tho system this year are enormous greater than ever before in the history of the company. It is proposed to reduce expenses at least $1,000,000 a month, this reduction to cover every division. Some time ago orders were sent out frcm Philadelphia that expenses were to be reduced, and division officials were instructed to send in an estimate of the expenses for the month of September. On a certain division a reduction in expenses of $50,000 a month was made, and it was not believed that any further reduction would be demanded. I.argrer Divisions Vrrl Change. However, notice was sent from the general manager's office a few days ago that on the larger divisions a re duction of not less than $300,000 a month was to be made. While it has not been definitely settled, it is figured that, if such a reduction is made, the company will save at lease $1,000,000 a month. PICKLED Young Millionaire Cruikshank Finds Affinity Within Two Weeks. Pittsburg, Ta., Sept. 24. Zacharja Cruikshank is the son of Zacharia Cruikshank, the millionaire pickle man of this city. For a year Zach, who is only 19, has been cutting a wide swath in Pittsburg, and when he went to New Tork every month or so he gave the frequenters , of the Great White Way something to talk about. All this angered his father and he decided that tho best place for young Zach was the farm, where he would be away from the designing feminine influence. Three weeks ago Zach was sent to one' of his father's farms near Millwood, Mich., where pickles and cabbages are raised, and the young man was made manager of the farm. This morning Zach'St-father received a telegram which merely read: "Am married. Zach." It was a couple of hours before the young man could be reached by long distance telephone. Then it was ascertained that all that Zach had said was true. Last Saturday he became the husband of Miss Laura Chllds, a very estimable young woman of Millwood, and the daughter of a prosperous merchant there. They had been acquainted Just two weeks. There was a long talk over the phone in which the young man was forgiven. CATARRH IS CURABLE. Successful Experiments In Abating and Curing This Disease. Catarrh is an entirely unnecessary disease and should not be tolerated for a single day now that Hyomel Is so generally known and has made so many cures in Hammond and other towns. Until comparatively recent times catarrh was thought to be a blood disease and stomach dosing the only treatment Modern science finally disproved this Idea of the cause of catarrh, and found that It was a germ disease and, after many experiments, the remedy was de cided to be Hyomel. Jlyomel meqicates the air you breathe; It kills the catarrhal germs; It heals the smarting and raw mem branes of the passages in the nose and throat; it cures all catarrhal troubles. As there is life and health In the air iu the mountain-tops where the pine forests give off their fragrant and heal lng balsams, so there is life and health in breathing Hyomel. There Is no need of suffering from catarrh if the simple and natural treatment of Hyomel Is used. Si sure Is this prescription to cure even the worst cases of catarrh, that Summer's Pharmacy sell it under an absolute guarantee to refund the money if it does not do all that is claimed for it NEW TELEPHONE BOOK. Owing to the heavy Increase In the list of patrons a new telephone directory must be printed at once. Another will not issue for several months. If you need a telephone, sign a contract now and get j'our name in the new book. Don't delay or you may be too late. Chicago Telephone Company. adv. TOWN HAS MELANCHOLY TALE. Linden, Ind., Sept. 23.

TALKING WEB-FOOTERS Forty Conversational Ducks Arrive in U. S. From East India. New York. Sept. 24. Forty-one talking ducks today patrolled the upper deck of the Hansa line steamship Reichenfels, here from Indian ports. First Officer Strufiing got the ducks at Calcutta. They were bred by a native prince, who found he could teach his webfooted friends as readily as parrots. When Mr. Struflling discovered the talking duck farm he promptly laid in a stock. There were 100 originally, but their number dwindled in consequence of the Lascar crew's appetite for roast duck, and only forty-one arrived here. The patriarch of the Hock had been taught by Captain Fotthast to sy "Fleet," which is the name of one of the port captains at the Bush terminal docks, and the affable port captain thought the Reichenfels' commander was greeting him, when it was only the Indian talking duck taking his cue. The Reichenfels showed some of the results of battering she got in a southwest monsoon, in which her ventilators and much of the deck fittings were carried away and a chow dog was carried off by a giant sea. Some of the ducks preferred taking chances in the monsoon to remaining aboard the freighter and flew away. How about your kids shoes, do they wear out too soon? If so, bring them up to room 212, second floor, Hammond building. You will never cease to praise ours. Ortt & Towle Shoe Co.
