ALREADY HAS THEBES PLANT Officials Say There Is No Ground for Story of Eemoval Which Is Circulated.

The story printed In several Lake and Porter county papers to the effect that the powder mills at Aetna are to be abandoned and will be moved to Thebes, 111., is vigorously denied at the general offices of the company. According to an official who represented himself as being in a position to speak for the management, there is not the least likelihood that the Aetna plant will be disturbed In the leaBt This same official denied that the company was building a plant a Thebes as it has one already located there. This plant is not being enlarged or repaired and there is positively no foundation for the rumor. The company will continue its activities at Aetna Just as it has in the past and the idea of there being anv danger of an explosion which would cause the people '4n Gary or Miller any trouble Is ridiculed. The plant at Aetna 13 owned by the Dupont Powder company and was es tablished many years ago. The advan tage of the present location so far as shipping facilities are concerned Is all that could be desired, and the company will not move. There is quite a large number of men employed In the powder mills and although one of them is blown to atoms every now and then, they seem to be very well satisfied with their employ ment and there has been quite a lit tie settlement built up around the plant. The accidents that havo happened. however, at the mills are such that the town is not a very desirable one for a residence district. The story In cir culation: The plant at Aetna was established many years ago by the Dupont Powder company, and now manufactures about 35,000 pounds of powder a day, as well as enormous quantities of dynamite, nitro-glycerine and gun cotton. The residents of Gary and Miller and other places in that vicinity threatened condemnation proceedings if the com pany didn't move, as they are afraid that should an explosion occur it would blow the towns of Gary and Miller off the map. IROOBLESJF SMITH Gary Man's Furniture Was Dumped Into the Sreet Yesterday. Edward Garston Smith, who flashed across the business horizon of Gary with a brilliance that was scintillating, has now come to grief and his coup in securing the renting of the Smith block owned by W. E. Feuer of Cleveland, did not amount to much after all. Yesterday all of the furniture owned by Edward Garston Smith, was dumped into the street and a large crowd watched the eviction. Most of them would have pitied the man had it not been for the fact that, he is so hard to get along with that no one will have anything to do with him. But there is still more trouble in store for this peculiar Gary character. Today his lease will be sold at auction and his occupation of the Smith building will come to an end. Yesterday while he was being evicted, it is claimed his wife attempted to interfere with the work of the constable. They had some trouble and when the constable went to Judge Fitzgerald's court to report the matter, he was followed by Smith. In the court room Smith attacked the constable and soon had him on the floor choking him. Judge Fitzgerald and some-, of the bystanders succeeded in separating the two men. The constable then followed Smith outside where he attacked him and gave him a black eye. Judge Fitzgerald severely reprimanded Smith for fighting, as this is the third time he has become involved In a fight In the court room. Smith was arrested twice last week. Once on the charge of renting quarters and accepting the rent when he was not the lessee, and another time for drawing a check for a small sum when he did not have any money in the bank. IS ARSON'S EARMARKS Third Fire Within Three Weeks in Hegewisch; Arouses Suspicion.

Several lodgers were in the house at th time, but the entire bunch Jumped out before the flames reached them. . This is, the third fire that has started in this house within the last three weeks and the residents of the suburb believe that some one in the neighborhood Is setting fire to the building with the purpose of destroying it. ,

E. CHICAGO VISITED flf ''IHEST Ml" Well Dressed Stranger Gathers Up Money of Fit Victim. POLICE LOOK FOB HIM IN VAIN Epileptic Siezed at Veaco's Drug Store; Coin Scatters and Hyena Grabs It. The meanest -man that ever visited East Chicago was there yesterday. His name is not known but he looked like a traveling man and acted like a hyena. Frank Hoffman, a carpenter living in East Chicago, was walking along Chicago avenue when suddenly, as he reached "Veaco's drug store, which is at the corner of Forsyth and Chicago avenues, he was seen to stagger and fall, his body twitchin in an epileptic fit. As he fell, his hands which he had been carrvine in his trousers pockets were withdrawn, and his money, together with a jackknife and some keys rattled out onto the sidewalk. A crowd auicklv e-ath. ered and a bystander suggested that somebody gather up the chanee and other personals belongings of the man. lhe money that lay scattered about amounted apparently to about three dollars in halves, quarters, nickles and dimes. A well dressed man who had been waiting for an. Indiana Harbor car joined the throng and let lose of his travelers' case long enough to trather up the coins. As he picked up the last piece along came his car and, pocket ing the money he stepped aboard and was gone before anybody had time to interfere. The police wre notified and Chlpf HIgglns telephoned for a couple of of ficers to meet the car at Indiana Harbor. The officers were on hand when the car pulled in but the bird had flown. He had left the car somewhere along me nne and was not in evidence. K Gary Teamsters Strike Farther From Settlement Than Ever. The difficulty - between the TMm Owners' Association , in Gary and the teamsters, now seems to be further from' being settled than ever before; A deadlock has been reached and neither side will recede a sinele-'stpn The teamsters , are demanding S2 sn for all .work except grading and $2.35 for grading. The team owners okim they will not pay more than J2.00 and tnere seems to be no chance for a pnm. promise. . , . The-'team owners say thev can pt1 ail or the men thev want fnr board and they think they are very liberal when they offer to pay their men $2.00. ' - . , T.. J. ..Gormally of. the team owners said that he expected no settlement He said he would not make a single concession and thathe did' not believe the teamsters would concede. It begins to look as though thero would be a prolonged trouble between the two organizations and it is hard tr tell Just what the effect will be on the work of building the new citv and the construction of the mill. .

suit Howard Gould, besides making Cody, declares his wife several times "LURE BIT" TELLS Sensational Trial of Gary Negress in Hammond Superior Court. JUDGE WITHOLDS JUDGEMENT Sam Shunk Is Arrested at Close of Trial on a Criminal Charge. Sooty Nellie Williams, or "Little Bit," as she is better known, the 19 year old Gary negress, told her story yesterday on the witness stand in the Lake superior court as to why and how she stuck a stiletto into the body of Sam Shunk, her employer. Few stories have been told in a more dramatic way in the local courtroom. She told JLt from beginning to end, and according to Mr. Boone added to it incidents that did not really take place. Leaving the witness stand she returned to her attorneys and after going over her face several times with a chamois skin, she broke "down and wept. A few feet away sat Sam Shunk, state witness, her employer, his face changing according to her story; some times over-spread with a silly smile, at other times blank like that of a weak mind. Once he stepped over to Prosecutor D. E. Boone to whisper in his ear. Filled with disgust at being in . so close proximity with a white man who lived with a negress, Prosecutor Boone pushed him aside, saying far above a whisper, "Get away from me 'and stop your blowing in my ear." Shunk shuffled off to his seat, chagrined and shame-faced. At the close of the arguments of the attorneys, Judge Reiter said that he would defer judgment until next Monday. He was still speaking when Deputy Sheriff Trost slipped over to Shunk and read a warrant to him, arresting him on the- charge of having carried concealed weapons. The blank brain of Shunk could hardly grasp the situation, but it" finally dawned upon him that he would have to spend his time In jail until his trial comes up unless he can furnish-a $300 bond. He is in jail now awaiting his trial. A few doors away in another cell is "Little Bit" awaiting, judgment. A large number of Garyltes had como to Hammond yesterday to watch the outcome of the case. Nellie Williams was put on the stand about 4 o'clock. She started right in with her story, telling how she- met Shunk last , Christmas, and went to the end. which told of how one morning in February he . struck her over the eye and under her heart and how she,' seeing him reach for a gun, drew her bone-handled stiletto from underneath her apron and ran it into his side. . She repeated It, replete with all the curses and obscene language which onlya class of people of the Shunk type uses, and at the senastional points in, her story rose in the witness chair and acted out his or her actions, and though a negres she intuitively brought and acted out his or her actions. . "He threatened to, kill me and ah thought ,. it .was. jesas fair foh me as foh him," she said, finishing her .story.-' ' ' POSTAL CARDS ESCAPE VIOLENT DEMAEKATI0N. As a result of numerous complaints of postal and postcards being defaced by the postmarking the postmaster general has ordered discontinuance of the postmarking of cards at the office of address. The postal card fad has reached enormous proportions and the new ruling is expected by postal officials to be received with delight by thousands of collectors.
