CONTEST RESULTS IM A TIE
Primary Grade Pupils Given a Holiday and Have a Fine Time.
The primary grades in the East Chicago and Indiana Harbor schools were given a holiday Wednesday afternoon while the "crack readers" from each of the classes competed for honors in a reading contest which was held In the Lincoln building at the Harbor. Incidentally forty little wriggling, twisting primary "kids" participated in ft personally conducted , expedition, making use of a special car hired for their express accommodation. These were the East Chicago contestants who , had to be taken over to the Harbor to attend the exercises, and they were in charge of their various teachers. After the exhibition was over it was declared a tie, all of the contestants doing so well that there seemed to be no choice. By this same token, one of the purposes of the exhibition was defeated. This was to determine which method now being taught by the various teachers was productive of the best results. , . "No," declared Superintendent' Canine laughingly, this morning, "I must say I am as much In the dark as to which method is the best, as I was before. The children did so well that they were uniformly a credit to their teachers and to the systems for which the latter were sponsors." The teachers whose classes participated were: Miss Leo. B. Holmes of the Harrison school, Misses Pearl Townsend and Lucy Jones of the McKlnley, and Miss Esther McCollum of the Wallace school, all in East Chicago, Miss Harriet Stormont of the Field and Miss Eva Meno of the Lincoln at the Harbor. The participants were placed in one of the kindergarten rooms while the exhibition was in progress and were admitted in squads of ten, representing each class, to the room where the demonstration was in progress. A large number of patrons of the schools were in attendance. "It was the best exhibition of the kind ever given since I have had anything to do with the schools of East Chicago," said Mr. Canine this morning. Our primary teachers form a strong branch of the school system as it has been my aim to see that this department has the best that it Is possible to provide. The main purpose of yesterday's exhibition was an Interchange of Ideas among the teachers and to show the patrons of the schools what is being accomplished in the schools along this line."
KILLED By. P. , TRAIN Shocking Accident' at Indiana Harbor to South Chicago Man. Joseph Brauer, a Slav, employed by the Tapp Construction company and engaged in the work on the Lake Shore bridge over the canal at Indiana Harbor, was killed yesterday afternoon when the Lake Shore Limited which passes that point Ehortly after 3 o'clock in the afternoon, struck him. Brauer has been living at 11513 Erie avenue, South Chicago. It is said that he had no business on the track used by the limited at the time the accident occurred. At any rate, the engineer not pause even after his engine had struck Brauer, but proceeded on its way, with the same fiendish speed at' which it was running before. Fellow workmen ran to the side of the dead man and willing hands lifted him tenderly. His body was not mutilated save for an ugly hole in the side and he apparently died unconscious of what happened to him. It is believed that every bone In hi3 body was broken and yet his features and his entire form looked natural in death. The body was placed aboard a handcar and conveyed to the Lake Shore depot, whence it was taken to Teal's undertaking rooms where it awaits a claimant. Brauer was little known by his fellow workmen and it could not be ascertained whether or no he had a familyfl

Peter Koratz, who yesterday took a shot at Tony Garaaaz in the latter's saloon at 10383 Hoxie avenue, was yesterday fined $500 and costs and sentenced to ninety days In the county Jail by Municipal Judge A. J. Petit. This is one of the heaviest fines assessed by the new Judge since his advent In South Chicago. Steve Novak, who was with Koratu at the time of the shooting, was also fined $100 and costs for being in bad company and urging his partner on. George "Walton, who was recently arrested upon charges preferred by several young girls whose ages range from 6 to 11 years, was yesterday held to the grand Jury in bonds of $2,000.
Not being able to put up the necessary-
bonds he was taken to the county Jail to await the next session of the grand
Jury.
Frank HolaskI, arrested by the East Side police, charged with stealing brass from the Pennsylvania Railroad company, proved an alibi which satisfied the East Side sleuths and accordingly he was released. The Lake Shore road reported to the East Side police yesterday that brass thieves had been at work in their
yards stealing several pounds of the
metal. So far no clue has been found to the robbers Identity.
Ind iana Hartfor is to have a new $50,000 school building in the near future and the East Chicago company has offered to donate a site. Just what the style of the building will be has not yet been decided, but It is to contain twelve rooms and be possessed of every modern improvement in the way of comfort, ventilation, heating appliances and plumbing. - The East Chicago and Indiana Harbor school board which is composed of Robert Spear, D. D. Dixon, and James Spittle, visited South Bend yesterday in the interests of the proposed new school. Their object was to inspect the various schools of the Indiana town with a view to obtaining ideas to be applied to the new Indiana Harbor structure. They picked up a lot of these, having visited every school In South Bend, and gone over all the important points with the utmost care. Wednesday night the school board met In public session in the Lincoln building In the Harbor. The purpose of the meeting was to announce the site chosen for the structure and give the property owners a chance to offer objections if they saw fit. As no objections were offered it was decided to accept the offer of the East Chicago company who have agreed to donate a corner at One Hundred and Forty-first street and Parish, avenue. This will be available to the new territory annexed the other day and which Includes Grasselli. The only condition named was that the new $500,000 sewer which the East Chicago company proposes to buld, go through. Should that project fail, (and there is no reason to believe that it will) then it will be necessary to secure a site elsewhere. There will be a meeting soon to determine- more fully Just what is wanted in the way of a building.
It is declared that a school Is badly
needed at this point and the new
building will doubtless be received with
delight by the people in the district
from which it will obtain its patronage. Especially will it be acceptable
to the parents of children living In the
Grasselli district.
struck and a deep gash cut In the head which required several stitches. Before being taken to his home, however, he secured his revolver and fired three or four shots at the fleeing men. Nono of the shots took effect but two of them plowed up the sand at their feet. After leaving Toleston they' headed directly for Gary, where theytwent to the corner of Fifth avenue and Jefferson street and again applied for work in the same manner. Again they were refused and they struck the workmen from the rear and dazed them before they could lift a hand to protect themselves. There were three men on this Job, but one was on the roof and escaped uninjured. By this time the police had obtained a full description of the- men and were close upon their track. The sluggers eluded them, however, after perpetrating the last assault and went to the south end of the city, where they found several Hun
garian carpenters working on a Job at
Twenty-second street and Madison.
ihese men were also treated to a
dose of violence and one of the men was left senseless. By this time the whole populace was aroused and fif
teen citizens of that section of the town armed themselves at once and
accompanied the police in an effort to
catch and arrest the sluggers. Pressing a team and wagon into service, two policemen with the posse whipped up the horses in the direction that the men were seen to go and came In sight of them near the bridge across the Calumet river. Several times shots were exchanged by both the pursuers and the pursued, but when they came
to the river the chase was given up
and the men made their getaway.
"When asked the position the union
took in this matter, President "W. H. Kllver stated that the slugging was done entirely without the sanction of
the carpenters' union as a body. He felt that the men who were responsible for the work had gone entirely too far and that he himself was heartily opposed to such methods of brutality. The cause of the use of force by the assaulters is probably due to the fact
that there are now many union men un
employed in the city and some one is at
tempting to oust the "scabs" by means of force. The men who have been vic
tims of the assault have been asked, it Is said, to Join the union or quit the jobs and they have steadfastly refused. .The men who did the beating, however, were not recognized by those who were assaulted or by the officers of the union by the description which was furnished. It is thought that the men live out of town.

eighth ward, expressed himself as being highly satisfied with the results and commended especially the Taylor, Thorp, Phil Sheridan, Gallistel, Myra Bradwell and the South Deering schools. ' "Clean-up day is a great lesson for the children," said Supt. Galllgan this morning. "It teaches them cleanliness, better than anything else could. It shows them that they themselves must
lend a hand to keep their, community clean. , " "The South Chicago street .cleaning department carries away dally 40,000 pounds of rubbish, 18,000 pounds of this-being paper, all ot wh!chcould be easily burned up by the people themselves and which would save the department $300 a month. That is merely an instance of how the public could assist the department in the work that it is carrying on."
