BELIEF FOR FLOOD

VICW llj SIGHT

Immense Ditch Will be Built

by Steel Company at Once.

lOO rilORE MEH SETTOWORK Water Now Up to Window LedgesFamilies Move in Wagons Immersed to Box. - Relief Is in sight for the flooded portion of Gary, btween Broadway and Madison streets and the Wabash tracks and eighteenth avenue. It was given out this afternoon that the Steel company would abandon their attemjt to drain off the district through the tile sewer between Washington street and Broadway and construct a large ditch at once which will carry the water

into a nearby slough which is a part of the great system known as the Gibson run. This morning with a hundred additional men they began the work and in a few days they expect to dry up that portion of Gary which is the most thickly inhabited and the most menaced by the recent flood. The ditch is to be run diagonally across the fille-'-in portion of the Steel company's subdivision the marsh which runs west of the one which they are about to drain and which emptied Into the Grand Calumet river. This slough will be adequate to hold the surplus water and can be reached far more easily than the river It is thought that the filling ii'. of the portion of the slough between the river and the flooded part of the city so that there is no outlet for the surplus water is responsible for the -height of the water-and the seriousness of the situation. The small sewer that was constructed anrt fl '

sigend to connect these two bodies collapsed a few weeks ago, and therefore stopped the only outlet The probable cause of the breakage in the sewer is r.ot its poor construction but the weight of the sand which was suddenly thnrvvh upon it in filling in the marsh in which it was laid.

EAST CHICAGO ELKS INSTALL THEIR OFFICERS

RENSSELAER MURDERER GETS A PRELIMINARY HEARING.

Mother of Dead Girl Admits That Sold Dan Day Whisk ey.

(Special to The Times.) Rensselaer, Ind., April 4. Dan Day, the lD-year-old murderer of 17-year-old Daisey Phillips, had his preliminary hearing yesterday afternoon .before Squire Irwin. The charge was murder in the first degree and the squire held Day to the circuit court of Jasper county without bail. At the examination it developed that Mrs. Phillips, mother of the dead girl, sold the whiskey to the half-wittprt

boy-man, having purchased it at a local drug store. The Phillips family is very poor and have not the best of reputations. There is a feeling here that the yotith would never have committped

the deed had he not been filled with whiskey which, by the way, came from a drugtore and not a saloon.

The Elks of East Chicago held an interesting session Thursday evening when they met to install officers and for a short social time. The officers chosen were as follows: ' G..' M Poland, E. R. ; C. L. Kirk, E. U K.; Abe Ottenheimer, E. L. K.'; F. H. Erickson,

"In bad" Is the word for Jesse Brady, a Creole, who was arrested for being drunk after a four day souse in-Gary. Brady is a Creole, and had money, somewhere In the neighborhood of $150; and had been hanging around John Bonick's resort. Yesterday he found himself robbed of' $102, a gold watch and a pair of diamond

cuffbuttons. In addition to this he was arrested on the charge of disorderly conduct. His fine amounted to $15.90 and not having the money to pay it with, he will have to go to Crown Point to, serve Jjis time.' Although Prosecutor D. E. Boone prosecuted the prisoner he did not fail to score the houses which permit such characters to hang around who will rob the customers when they get drunk. "Reports of this sort are coming in

quite regular and -I am going to . stop this thing, : even if I have to put the

saioons out or business," said Mr Boone.

Washington, April 2. Representative

Crumpavcker, of Indiana, Is making a

successful fight in the House against the Agricultural Department engaging

in the business of road building. An

appropriation of $500,000 for building of

experimental postroads went out on a

point of order, and there was some sharp criticism from the Indiana member on the attempt to commit the Gov

ernment to road building in the state. "My judgment is that is the proposition were submitted to the voters of the Tenth district of Indiana for the Federal government to distribute its surplus of any considerable amount of money to be used among the States for road building, it would be defeated by an overwhelming majority. The people of the State of Indiana believe that public money ought to be expended by the taxpayers themselves and money that comes from the Federal Government comes like manna from heaven, and there is not the high sense of vigllence in its expenditure that there is where the people pay monev intn th

common treasury and vigilantly look.

arter Its expenditures. One dollar 'of local tax will do as much in road building as $2 given by the French Government. No Economy in It. "I do not see any economv or rm'r.

-

pose in taking money out of tho rvri.

era! Treasury and expending it for

local use. The money in the Federal Treasury belongs to the-neonle of iho

United States. Gentlemen talk about spending money for the support of the

army and navy. Whose armv and nnw

are they? Whose commerce is it that large sums of money are exnendori fnr

in river and harbor imprivements if it is not for the commerce of the farmer? Are not the army and the navv tn

protect the Government that the

farmers do so much to support and that is so necessary to their .security? Tho

expenditure of money for the army and

tne navy Is an expenditure of money for Federal ..functions." but it is rtnf o

Federal function to expend money to

improve the roads of the country."
