GARY TO GET RELMOIl 310 Months of Misery and. Suffering Will Soon be a Thing of the Past.

WORK ON STREETS PROGRESS By Winter Streets of Steel City Will Be in Good Shape for All Important Business. The many months of misery and hardship, suffered by both teams and pedestrians In the deep pulverized sand on the streets In Gary will soon be ameliorated because of the fine substantial pavements that Trill form a network about the principle part of the city. The pavements being: laid are of the , best quality on the main streets brick is being: nned while on the thoroughfares of .lesser importance, macadam laid in the most improved style has been found sufficient for the present at least. For- several months past the only streets ' that were payed , were Fifth avenue and Broadway, and anyone getting off these streets would find travel extremely difficult, and annoying. Now, however, the improvements of the various streets have been ordered by the board and before winter it is thought that a sufficient "number of, streets will be paved to cover all streets of business importance, ' " Broadway the Main Street. Although Broadway will be the main artery of traffic, the pavement will be scarcely less perfect than that which is r now being laid on Madison street, which Is destined to be the main street in the western half of the city. Here the brick is being laid upon the sand. Instead of slag, as it was thought necessary and the idea which was originated by Mayor Knotts is an assured success. The bricks are concreted over the surface and with the sand confined as it is between the curbing, it will be impossible for it to give way and sag the street. The work on this street is so near "completion up to the first division, that it is thought that it can be opened to the public a week from Monday. The street is sixty feet wide with a sidewalk of five feet in width on each side. Among the other streets on the west side which are now being paved are Jefferson street, which will be paved with brick through to Twentyfifth street. .Adams and Jefferson Streets Started.. The other streets west of Broadway will stop for the present at least, at the Pennsylvania tracks owing to the fact that the Pennsylvania will at this point establish their yards and it would be difficult to run the street through. Adaxns street also on the west side will be paved with brick for which the grading has already been started. Jefferson street has been graded ready for the laying of the brick. On Washington street which is one block west of Broadway, the slag has already been put in and Is about to be covered with a stone dressing preparatory to the rolling. This street will be of macadam. The connecting east and west streets for the present are, Fifth, Seventh, Eleventh, Fifteenth, Nineteenth and twenty-fifth avenues'. Of these Fifth venue has been completed for 'some time, Seventh avenue is nearlng completion, Eleventh avenue is now temporarily paved, Fifteenth avenue Is partly graded. Nineteenth avenue has the grading completed, and on Twentyfithe avenue the work will start at once One of Mayor Knotts' Hobbles. On the east side of Broadway little will be done at the present time with, the exception of the pavement of Massachusetts street which is now graded, and will have the work pushed forward. One of the pet hobbies of Mayor Knotts now, however, is to have Fifth avenue extended and paved through to Miller so that the . two cities can be more closely associated. There is now constructed a township road in Hobart township to the limits and if Fifth avenue were to be extended but a short distance, the two roads could he Joined. At the present time there is no direct paved road into Miller, though the city is but two and a half miles away. In the matter of roads, one of the biggest boons to this region that has been announced for some time Is the decision of the county council to appropriate $40,000 to extend Eleventh avenue so that the road will run from the city limits of Gary to the city limits of Hammond and connect the two cities.

FIFTY FIGHT FANS ARE "PINCHED."

(Continued from page one.) ernor Hughes blow in? "Why has Burn ham Joined the Sunday school class?" . The answer to this strange question, goes back to the days when John Thulin, above whose saloon the battle royal should iiave taken place, and Johhy Patton were friends. The more recent motive for the reform, according to Thulin, Is a motive to revenge on part of Patton, who, he says, wants to drive Thulin out of business.' According to Patton, the battle royal was too tough even for Burnham, the kibosh having been put on it in Peoria, Gary and one or two Wisconsin cities. Fatton told a Times's reporter this morning that he had given the promoters suf ficient warning not to come to Burnham to pull off the fight, as it would mean arrest by wholesale. Cal Harris knows now that it did. The villagers are praising Mayor Patton for his good work. He said that he had conferred with Tommy Mowatt, the stockyard fighter, who is one of the backers of the Portable Athletic club,' but that the orders had been violated and that the sports would have to take their medicine. Were Inclined To Be Lenient. Patton and Judge Hunter, both -were inclned to be lenient with the fans, but they insisted that they must go through a regular trial before they could be released. Thulin, the one time friend, tells a story. Several months ago he worked tooth and nail for the "Boy Mayor" and his influence was largely responsible In landing Patton the village presidency. Since then, according "to Thulin, Patton has changed his mind pat ton wants the saloon that Thulin has and Thulin unwilling to give It .up, there has come -up a coldness between the one time friends, with the result that Patton, thinking it was Thulin's game last night, querered it. The whole village is in hubbub. People who were sitting on their porches last night, between 10 and 11 o'clock, hearing the shots riag out in the air and feeling the bullets whiz by their ears, took, refuge in their houses, fear ing to come out again for the rest of the night. This morning they were up bright and early to learn what it was all about and wonder why, when dozens of fights have been pulled off in the village, this one should have been stopped. All Will Stand Trial. Among those who gave their names to the constables last night and who will have to stand trial today are Walter Phillip, Walter Riley, Charles Michael, Joseph Michael, Joseph Olson, Josehn Johnson, B. Bodie, Dan Myers, James B. Dank, T, Murphy, F. M. Smith, Luke Rover, G. Herman, Charles Herman, T. Bodie, H. Bodie, Webster Osborn, Charles Smith, .P. Davis, Harry Williams, Peter Van Home, M. Brown, Harry Parks, L. J. Emmerson, Ed Craig, W. Smith, James Johnson, Harvey Steinway, John Keifer, Paul Rowen, W. Stein, R. Johnson and Fred Haggardy. The admission charged was f 2.50. There were no Burnham or Hammond men among those arrested. "We only had nine men to make the arrests with," said President Patton this morning, "and naturally many of them got away from us. One of the fighters, I understand, Jumped out of the window." People were on their way to work this morning, going to Hegewisch or coming to Hammond, met young men who asked their way to Hammond or the nearest way across the state line i They were as wet as though they had been out in the rain, the having spent the night in the marshes to escape ar rest. The Portable Athletic club is the migratory organiaztion, put into being by Cal Harris, an Ohio promoter who drifted this way because things were a bit dull in his particular line of endeavor on his native heath. Club Has Many "Homes.' ine nappy selection, or the name, Portable, tells its own story. The club members have been chased from pillar to post by lusty deputy, sheriffs and zealous constables from time to time making it necessary for the club to have more than one rendezvous. Har ris saw the possibilities and necessi ties of the "occasion. He secured at least a dozen different locations for a "clubhouse,", and now the Portable is practically immune from legal interference, inasmuch as it can transplant Its arena from spot to spot, dashing hither and thither in such a ewilderlng manner that only a Sherlock Holmes or a thoroughly ' up-to-date Thinking Machine could expect to fol low the digressions. And the Portable has quite a mem bership list, too. Some of the best people among the fight fans are regu lars at the Portable fights and watch some Interesting battles. DOPE HERDS STORY Visits Indiana Harbor Sta tion and Says He Killed Ella Schroeder at Gary. Indiana Harbor, June 13. (Special.) Great was the stir at the local police station last night when a man about 50 years of age "blew In" and Insisted that he was the man who attacked and killed little Ella Schroeder at Gary last year. The man was taken Into custody and examined by the police. Chief Hlgglns believes the man Is "dope" fiend as he has every mark of one on his face. No stock is taken in his story, bat he will be held and sub jected to further examination. Needed Improvement. This world would be a brighter world if the man who knows it all and the man who insists on telling us what we already know could be shut up to gether. .

Charles Frabel, a prominent Woodlawn young man, and Miss Blanche Marcellus, a telephone operator at the South Chicago exchange, were married last Wednesday at the groom's home, 836 West Sixty-second street, by the Rev.

Following the ceremony the couple was given quite an ovation by their friends, and both the bride and groom asked the assembled guests to keep the mat ter secret, and they would have succeeded but for a South Chicago man seeing their license In the marriage license clerk's office downtown. Upon coming back to South Chicago the news spread like fire and within a short . time every operator in the local . exchange was discussing It be tween "number please." " As Miss Marcellus Is now on her two weeks' vacation from the liral ex change the operators never thought of her being married and a few of the more skeptical still refuse to believe it. However, it is a fact, and yesterday the bride's sister was asked if they had been married and she replied in the afflmatlve, after being told that the "cat had Jumped out of the bag." Mr. and Mrs. Frabel will for the present be at home to their friends at the home of the groom's parents, 836 West Sixty-second street.- However, within the next few weeks they will leave on their wedding tour, which will extend in various parts of the west.

It is said that the Indiana society composed of Indiana's great lights in every field, have practically decided to hold their annual ' reunion at the' fair grounds this year instead of in Chicago, as is usually the custom, and have, decided on June 27 for their big day. The meeting of these Indiana men of talent has become one of national reputation and if Crown Point has the honor of a visit from them it will be quite a feather in its cap. Such men at' ;McCutcheon, the great cartoonist, Ade, the humorist,, and Tarklngton the author, will probably be here and. take a prominent part in the day's festivities. Thus the fair grounds may, become the scene of the meeting of Indiana's great' and neargflreat and it will certainly be a red letter day for Crown Point on June 27 if the society carry, oue their present intentious.

Duchich, the grocer whose place of business is on Fifth avenue, near Connecticut street, in order that there could be no possible misunderstanding of his connection in the Stanley Sulentich embezzlement case has agreed to give several of the foreigners 70 per cent of the money which they lost, out of his own pocket, which will amount to approximately $600. - The only connection which Mr. Duchich had with the, affair In which suientich embezzled the money was that, believing that Sulentich was honest, sent him the customers. He feels that because of this he is in part to blame for the loss of their money and was willing to make good. Several lawyers have in the past carefully looked up Duchich's liability and they were unable to prove a case against. They believed at the time that he had taken the money from the foreigners and then turned it over to Sulentich This would make him liable if this were the facts. - Makes Good the Claims. The fact of the matter is, however, that when they asked him to send the money to the old country he called in Stanley Sulentich's agent . and the dealings were had direct. When he found that his actions in the matter had been questioned and it was found that he could not be held legally, he resolved of his own accordance to make good on a number of the claims which are owned by Sulentich to the extent of seventy per cent ' " The fact that Duchich is set tling these claims does not in the least effect Sulentich as he is arrested on charges made in seperate cases. The former politician and king pin of the foreigners will still remain in jail and will be tried at the next term of the superior court. ONE DEAD, TWO HURT, IN AUTO ACCIDENTS.
