A score or more of passengers on the South Side Elevated road this morning at Sixty-third street and Stony Island avenue were thrown into a panic when a coach jumped the track and law cross-wise, and had it not been for the extremely slow speed the coach would have been precipitated to the ground, a distance of thirty feet. This Is one of the highest points over which the elevated runs, the tracks of the Illinois Central bcinb Just underneath and below those are the surface cars.

Following are several brief sketches of candidates who aspire for public offices from the Calumet region. These sketches are written in an Impartial manner and will materially aid the voters In selecting their candidate. Lee Carpenter. Lee Carpenter, candiadte for demo cratlc nomination for municipal court judge. Mr. Carpenter is one of the best known lawyers in the Calumet region, and has a large host of friends through the district who are confident of his nomination Mr. Carpenter has resided with his family in the eighth ward for a num ber of years and is highly respected by those acquainted with him.

Basements were flooded throughout the South Chicago business district and many business houses re port a large damage to stock. Chesterton Lad Arrested. William Sexton, a 16-year-old boy living at Chesterton, Ind., was arrested in South Chicago yesterday afternoon as he jumped from a Chicago, Lake Shore train at Kighty-third street. The arrest was made by a special Lake Shore detective, J. S. Rankin. The boy is charged with having stolen a suit case and three dollars from L. G. Robinson of Norwood, Ind. with whom he was visiting. The boy was sent to Chesterton this morning, Telephone Numbers Changed. Is your telephone number in the one thousands? If it Is the number will be changed to five thousand. This is the substance of the latest change In num jbers at the South Chicago exchange If your telephone number now 1234 It woll be 5234. The change in pumbers Is causing the operators n little trouble as well as the patrons. The change came about through th jlarge Increase in the number of sub SCribers on the local system. Get Temporary Permit. At yesterday's meeting of the city council Commissioner of Public Work John Hanberg was instructed to grant the Kensington & Eastern road a tern porary permit to lay their track through the south ends of the Eighth and Thirty-third wards, If a majorit of the aldermen requested that he d so. 'inls decree or the city council cut the Kensington & Eastern at the mere of the citizens of the two wards an means that the people will get the concession that they have so vigorously demanedd. as it is an assued fact that the aldermen from the two wards will not ask the commissioner to grant the permit until the people are given their rights. REPAYS DEBT OF ft LIFE Howard Souders, 121 Seventy-sixth street, repaid the debt of a life yesterday when he rescued seventeen-year-old Lillian Hug-gins, 178 Seventy-fifth street from drowning in Lake Michigan off the Windsor Park shore at Manhattan beach. Eight years ago the girl saved Sounders, who is now eighteen years old, from being burned to death. Souders and Miss Higgins were schoolmates together and the two families were intimate. The boy visited the Huggins home frequently and one day the two build a bojiflre. Souders, dared by his playmate, leaped through the air. Igniting his clothing. Lillian, remembering how a neighbor had been saved from a flrery death, pulled a tablecloth from a clothesline and wrapped it about the boy, putting out the flames, but herself was badly burned as a result, but not seriously. Miss Huggins, who cannot swim, went bathing yesterday afternoon at the foot of Seventy-sixth street at Nicholas Beach. After playing near the shore for awhile, she walked south to the end of the pier, which was deserted and was hidden from the people who were on the beach. She lost her balance, fell !n the water, and was res- , cued by Souders.

IG GfiOUt IRK BIG INJURY Spoiled' Fruits of South Water Street Annoy Calumet Heights Residents. CHILBREN ARE THE VICTIMS Property Owners Will Remonstrate to City Council, Asking to Declare it a Nusiance. The residents of Calumet Heights are protesting against the garbage dumps which are situated at Ninety-fifth street, extending from Kingston to Paxton avenues. The ill smelling garbage, which is a haven for the worst and most dangerous germs makes that section of the Eighth ward look like some sections of the stock yards. When the wind blows from the south the odor of the stagnated waste can be smelled in all sections of the ward. Many cases of illness have been traced to this garbage dump and it would be a great relief if it was abandoned, according to the Calumet Heights residents. All vegetables and fruits that are condemned by the food inspectors on South "Water street are sent out to the local dumping grounds where they are dumped. Dump for Spoiled Frnlta. When these car-loads of fruits and vegetables are dumped, hundred of children swarm there in an effort to find some piece of fruit that is not all decayed, these in many cases, the children will eat, telling- their parents they purchased it at the fruit stores or that it was given to them. The result in several instances is that those who partook of the condemned fruit have been taken sick and several cases came near ending in death. Recently a car-load of watermelons was condemned by the inspectors at South Water street and accordingly was sent to the Calumet Heights dump ing grounds where the fruit was thrown to decay. Children seeing the melons lying in the dump secured some of the best specimens and took them home where they were served to the families. Several children were taken violently ill and but for the prompt work of physicians would have died. Treated Down Town. When the fruit is condemned down town a chemical preparation is poured over It and this tends to make it still more dangerous for those who partake of it then otherwise. A delegation of property owners will take the matter up with the city council at an early date to nee if there is not some way to remedy this nusiance which each year assumes larger proportions. A Jackson Park Lagoon is Scene of Tragedy Last Night. A white linen handkerchief bearing the letter "M", a pair of Xo. 5 shoes marked" J. G. Brandt Shoe Company, St. Louis, Mo," three valuable rings and an 18-caret gold watch, are the things mainly relied upon by the Woodlawn police in their effort to solve the mys tery of the death of a-rlchly clad worn an, whose body was found floating in the Jackson Park Lagoon shortly after 8 o'clock last night. The flash of a searchlight from the bow of a steam launch revealed the woman's body to Park Policeman Fred Browi and he went out in a row boat and towed it ashore. The body, now awaiting identification. Is lying in the undertaking rooms of T. II. Schwier, 477 Sixty-third street. No one has come to claim the body so far and the police say that no wom an of the description of the one whose body was found in the lagoon, was re ported as missing to them. The police are in the dark as to the identity of the woman and the manney of her death. The body of the woman was clad in a white silk waist and a jacket and skitr of broadcloth. Her hat, which was selll attacher to her head when her body was found, was a flat black straw, trimmed with a red rose, the wore black stockings and black lace shoes No. 5. and marked "J. G. Brandt Shoe Company, St. Louis Mo. Attached to the belt at the waist was a black chatelain bag, and contained within the bag was a small purse that held five $5 bills and 35 cents in small change. There was also a white linen handkerchief with the initial "M" worked into one corner. The woman's Jewelry consisted of solitaire diamond ring, another ring set with three red stones surrounded by pearls, and a blank seal ring o dark stone, Tiffany setting. There was also a plain gold pin at the throat, set with three yellow stones and shaped like a shamrock. In addition to thi there was an eighteen carat woman' gold watch, attached to a long solid gold chain with octagonal links. Th one other thing- noted by the police was a small pearl handled knife. The apparent age of the woman i 48 years, and her weight 165 pounds She was of stout build and about 5 feet 7 inches in height. She had blue eye and dark hair that was turning to gray and three of her upper teeth were false, On the throat was an old wound that was covered with a piece of court plas ter, and extra pieces of plaster were found in her chatelatn bag. The police think the woman may have fallen Into the la&roorx.

BERRY HEIRS GIVE FREE STRIP OF LAND Crown Point Interurban

Workers Jubilant at Their Success Yesterday. RIGHTOFWAY IS ALL GIVEN NOW Crown Point Extremely Anxious to Have Inteurban Road to Gary Right Away. Crown Point, Ind., July 17. (Special) With the exception of the W. J. Davis piece of land the right of way , . . for the Crown Point-Gary Interurban ' i road has been secured. When yester- J day the Berry heirs granted to the trustees in charge of obtaining the 1 right of way, the last strip of ground necessary to complete the long stretch of right of way to the Calumet bridge. Lund All Given Free. This makes a free concession of land, that is wort thousands of dollars to the company fortunate to secure it, and' shows the public spiritedness of the farmers along the proposed route who, 1 in many instances, even knowing that the proposed line would be of material value to them, could have held their land at a high figure. Want Road Badly. The farmers along the route want the road badly enough to grant free right of way, which is considered by many to be the unestimable value when the price of land In the country now is aken Into consideration, and it seems o be the consensus of opinion that the matter ought to be pushed to an early completion, as the trustees hold a lum that others than the Seaman conern will readily grab for. Crown Point Is Autooi. Crown Pointers have been on the anxious seat for some time, regarding the actual construction of the road, and Is to be hoped the near future will see the realiatlon of the actual construction of the road. THEY HOLD AN IMPORTANT MEETING (Continued from page 1). minutes. Temporary Secretary Charles Surprise responded to this order. The G. O. P. quartette, consisting of Peter Riply, Fred Gelb, George Stevens and William Hastings, sang two parodies which brought down the house. SlnK-tna; Makes a Hit. The singing and the songs made a hit, and If they had had a repertoire of dozen parodies the chances are that they would have been compelled to sing every one of them before the meeting could have continued. The constitution and by-laws were then adopted in their entireity and without amendment. The names of John W. Mortland, Roscoe E. Woods, Harvey Godfrey, Carl Ames and Will Hastings were presented. Harvey Godfrey, Will Hastings and Carl Ames each withdrew from the race leaving John W. Mortland and Roscoe E. Woods as the remaining candidates. When the tellers counted the ballot it was discovered that Mr. Woods had been elected by a substantial majority. Preceeding- the announcement of the vote it was moved that the candidate receiving the next largest number of votes be declared elected to the office of vice president. The nominations were then received for the office of second vice president and the names of R. E. Garber, George Stevens, Frank Brown and Victor Dver were presented. A ballot was taken and although the votes were pretty evently divided among the candidates, George Stevens had a majority and was declared elected. Hlpley's Election Unanimous. The name of Peter Ripley was then proposed for the office of secretary and the motion was made that the nominations be closed. Mr. Ripley was elected with a shout and took his place at the secretary's table. W. J. Hastings was unanimously elected treasurer of the club and the approval of the members over his se lection was shown by the round of ap plause which greeted the announce ment of his election. The election of H. J. Codfrey for the office of assistant secretary, followed and was made unanimous with the same tumult of applause and the same enthusism was manifested by the crowd. Following- the elections. President Woods introduced Congress E. D. Crumpacker, who expressed himself as great ly pleased over the enthusiasm which was shown and prophesied success for the party as a result. Mr. Crumpacker's speech was one of the best political arguments which has ever been heard in this city. He touched on nearly every attack the democratic party has made on the republican party so far. Speaking of Mr. (xompere, he said he was the president of one of the magnificent organlaztlons in America, but according to the morning papers he saw that this organization was already questioning his right to decide their politics for them no matter how estimable a man their president might be. Gompera ot a Republican? He challenged Gomper s statement that he had been a republican and had now become a democrat because labor did not get all it wanted at the Chicago convention. He produced a speech which Mr. Gompera made at LaFayette two years ago in which the president of the American Federation of Labor declared unequivocally that he was a democrat. He then took un the statements of

NTERURBAN BETWEEN

GARY AiTOLESTOfl Frank Gavit's Compay Expects to Be in Neighboring City By Aug. 15. RUN ON 20 MINUTE SCHEDULE Air Line People Looking for Connection With LaPorte By End of Fall Work in Progress. Communication will be established wllu Toleston by August 1, If the pre ent ,au" of the tiary Bnd lB"'nlrb,,n materialize. This branch, which la , . - , looked upon as almost as important aa tue ,! nne on Ilroailway, 1 now under construction and the work in belnK pushed rapidly.. It Is probable I that a twenty minute service will be i established nt the outset and that two earn bt. llt on .,., division.. One of these ears will operate from Toleston to the I.ake Shore depot on Ilroadway, and It la likely that the other will con line Its run to Eleventh avenue alone. Traffic Manager Phillips stated yesterday that the additional cars which had been ordered would arrive on the fifteenth of next month and that if nothing unforseen happened they would have little difficulty in having the line constructed by that time. In the unreliable freight service and the delay In securing material they may encounter a handicap that will prove serious in finishing up the Eleventh avenue extension. Crews Reins Trained The crews for the new cars are now jbeing trained, however, by the men on the main line and will be ready to take up their runs when the time comes. Cars on the Tolestonbranch will be the same as those on Broadway. Right from the start the company in tends to maintain at least twenty-minute service to the town on the western outskirts. The operation of this line will mean that the employes of the mills living in that city will have an access to the mills, that those working in the mills will be enabled to live in the quietude of a suburb, nad woll tend to materially help both places. In regard to the pavement of the street car company's right of way on Broadway, which has been ordered done by the city at their last meeting, Mr. Phillips stated that he knew nothing of the plans -f the construction company which is building the road. He thought, however, that they would be able to put in the paving as soon as the town board asked them to. Feasibility of Fenders. In the matter of the putting on the fenders on the cars, however, Mr. Phillips says that there is no state law which would force them to carry fenders on the cars, but this this law, if such was enacted, would be up to the municipality. He cited several large cities in the country where no fenders were being used with great success and if the company had seen the necessity of putting them on they would have been used here. It is probable that the double track system on Broadway will be put Into operation within the nevt two weeks. The pass-over track at the Lake Shore has already been installed and a gang of men is busy working on that at the Wabash tracks. This will greatly facilitate the service, as it will eliminate the necessity of having switches for the cars to pass by on. For some time, however, but one track will be used across the Wabash and the Michigan Central tracks because of the fact that they have not been able to get hold of the material to cross the tracks. Good Traveling Facilities. With both the Toleston branch of the Gary & Interurban and the South Bend Interurban in operation by the middle of next month, the present In adequate service will be greatly improved upon. The service which has been rendered by the steam roads has been anything but satisfactory in the past and the traveling public will wel come the advent of the lnterurbans. In regard to the local line, it has been a much great success financially than the promoters ever dreamed of, with the city in its present primitive state. The large traffic has designated the progreseiveness of the citizens, and has greatly encouraged the officials. The air line people assure the citizens of Gary that they will have an outlet to the east through to iAporte this fill if the work can be continued for the next three months as it has during- the summer. the leaders of the democratic party that the republicans have no been the friends of labor. After naming all of tho legislation which has been passed by congress in the Interests of labor he said that in tho democratic states where the democrats have undisputed control there are the most abominable laws affecting labor that could be imagined ( ruin porker Opposed Act. Speaking of the past activity of Gompers against him, Mr. Crumpacker said it was due to the fact that when the first employer's liability act was passed lie believed it to be unconstitutional and oposed it for that reason. Gompers was angry and made every effort to defeat the Tenth district man. The bill was passed In spite of the opposition of Crumpacker, and sure enough it was declared unconstitu tional by the supreme court and it was necessary for congress to enact the bill which Crumpacker wanted, at the re cent session of congress. Mr. Crumpacker touched on many other subjects and became so en grossed in his speech that he was com pelled to run to catch his train. How ever, his hearers gave him a rousing nine rahs as he ran out of the door and the first meeting of the Young Men's Keoubllcan club came to a close.

The village of Burnham today is reJoicing over the writ of mandamus is- : sued yesterday in Judge Mack s court, compelling the city of Chicaso to furnish the village of Burnham with city water. Statement. On the 11th of July 1S03, the village of Burnham filed a petition in the Circuit court of Cook county against the city of Chicago, praying that a I writ of mandamus issue to compel the city of Chicago to furnish water at the boundary line between the said village of Burnham and the said city of Chicago by means of the waterworks be longing to the said city of Chicago, in such quantities as may be required to supply consumers within said vil lage of Burnham and at no greater i rr. pl.ortro t Y f ry ft th Raid citV I

The village of Burnham relied upon Section Twenty-six of the Act creating the sanitary district of Chicago approved May 29, 1S99, Section Twentysix of which is as follows: "Whenever in any such sanitary district there shall be a city. Incorporated town or village, which owns a system of waterworks and supplies water from a lake or other source which will be saved and preserved from sewage pollution, by the construction of the main channel, drain, ditch or outlet herein provided for, and the turning of the sewage of such city and district there in, and there shall be in such sanitary district any territory bordering on any si.ch city, incorporated town or village within the limits of another city, in corporated town or village, which does not own any system of waterworks, at the time of the creation of such sanitary district, then upon application by the corporate authorities of such latter nam ed.city, incorporated town or village the corporate authorities of such city, incorporated town or village having such system of waterworks shall furnish water at the boundary line between such municipalities by means of its waterworks to the corporate authorities asking for the same in such quantities as may be required to supply consumers within said territory, at no greater price or charge than it charges and collects of consumers, within its limits for water furnished through meters In like large quantities."

Chicago Objects. The city of Chicago filed an answer NIGHT TRIAL AT MILLERS. (Continued from page one.) seen to It that the saloonkeepers do not sell him any liquor, at least not enough to get into a business mood. Visit to Hobart. Yesterday, however, this brother-in-law accompanied Charles Nelson to Hobart, where both had business. Both returned in tho evening and it did not appear in the trial that either of the two carried a load home from Hobart. Nevertheless, when Nelson stepped into Mrs. O'Connor's store In the evening, something was said about taking the brother-in-law to Hobart, and there the trouble started. Mrs. O'Connor said, "You did," and Nelson said, "I didn't," and Mrs. O'Con nor said, "You did," and Nelson again said. "I didn't," until Mrs. O'Connor thought he had said enough to pro voke her. She involved the proveke law and had her customer arrested. Marshal Klopf Gets Ilusy. It was at this point that the town marshal. Edward Klopf, got mighty busy. It was his duty to summon the Jury, and he brought in all of the thirty men he could find before twelve men who were not yet acquainted with the case and had not formed an opinion. The Grind Begins. Then the grind began. Clarence Bretsch, deputy prosecutor from Gary, put the screws to Nelson and Attorney George Bardon used the lesral Jimmy and wrench to pry thf-m off again. And so the trial continued during the awful storm and into the night. The time for tho closing arguments arrived and Attorney Bretsch used up fifty minutes to show up Ne'son, and then Attorney Bardon began the longest legal argument that was ever deIievered within the precincts of Miller Station. He spoke for one hour and ten minutes, defending and eulogiiing his client and denouncing the plaintiff. Miller had never heard the like and it felt well repaid for the long hours. Jnry Ont 40 Minutes. The Jury remained out for forty minutes and returned a verdict of not guilty, and as the day was breaking the village of Miller filed homeward to eat Its breakfast. Thirty women had sat it out all night and more than a hundred men were with them. Nelson was found not guilty, but today he is being- tried before a mightier k tribunal, with all due respect to Judge

village of to receive water and that the city of Chicago was not able to supply its own consumers; that it depended upon the Sixty-eighth street pumping station to supply Hyde Park and what is known as the South Chicago district and that it would be unduly burdensome to impose upon the civ of Chicago the compulsory task of 'furnishing- the village of Burnham with water as asked for in the petition of the village of Burnham. ' Jndgre Mack Makes Decision. A hearing was had before Judge Julian W. Mack of the Circuit court upon the petition and answer and Judge Mack decided that the provisions of the sanitary act under which out side municipalities were entitled to be supplied with water were constitutional much as said outsido municipalities were compelled to contribute towards the cost of constructing and main taining- the Drainage canal of the sani tary district of Chicago, that It was but natural that they should derive some benefit therefrom. Gives Ilia Reasons. That the object of the act creatingthe sanitary district was to save the waters of Lake Michigan from danger of sewage and other pollution and to enable everybody within the limits of the sanitary district of obtain a drinking supply of pure water; that It was conceded by the city that the supply of Lake water used by the city of Chicago had been purified by the construction and maintenance of the Drainage canal and that the city of Chicago was the only municipality which directly benefitted by the construction of the canal. Sense of Legislature. That In passing- Section Twenty-six, the legislature had in mind conferring upon outside villages and municipalities, the privilege of purchasing water j from the city of Chicago in the same . manned that any other inhabitant cf the city of Chicag- would purchase it In exchange for the taxes paid by the people of such outside municipalities toward the construction and maintenance of the Drainage canal Chicago Taken Appeal. The city of Chicago has taken an appeal to the Supreme court. This de cision will save the village of Burn ham a sum not less than $10,000 which It otherwise would have to expend In sinking- artesian wells, building- a stand-pipe and a pumping station. City -water is preferable to artesian water for the reason that Burnham is liable to become a manufacturing town and artesian water Is ruinous to boilers and cannot be used for commercial purposes. The village of Burnham will immediately proceed to lay mains and otherwise take advantage of Judge Mack's decision. The city of Chicago was represented in court by W. D. Barg-e, first assistant corporation counsel. The village of Burnham was represented by S. K. Markman. Westergreen, but public opinion must be formed. The Jurors In the case were, Messrs. Jacob Carr, Bert Larson. John Pierson, John Johnson, his brother, William Johnson, Michale Zelibor, George Buckingham, Frank Shayne, Peter Hansen, Frank Schaaf, William Jones and George Peterson.
