ARE ROSEN ARRESTED
Abe Rosen, arrested by the health
department of Gary for the manufac
ture of soft drinks under unsanitary conditions was brought before Judge
Townsley yesterday afternoon and
plead guilty to the charge by his at
torney, Marshall E. Gallion. Rosen Is the first victim of the health depart
ment under the regime of Dr. T. B.
Templln and it is hoped that the good
work will be kept up. Judge Towns ley Imposed a fine of $21.50 upon Ro
sen, and the man will have to clean up
or be arrested again.
x&e manner in which Kosen manu
factured his goods was revolting,
Many people, and many of them chil dren, have been made very sick con
suming his numerous concoctions which are made In a filthy place and with improper material. In the first
place the plant is extremely dirty, the
water which he used is surface wate
unnt for use, like the remainder o
the materials.
Mr. Rosen has been warned to put his place in better shape or he will be put out of business. He promised, as he was paying his fine, to secure a new location for the manufacture of soft drinks and to secure better water. This water which he has been using for his own drinks has also been sold to the saloonkeepers for mineral water at the usual price. The bottles that
the product is put In were improperly cleaned and the corks were old ones, used many times oven

The box car mystery which developed
in South Chicago yesterday, in which
an unidentified man was found dead
in an Illinois Central box car at Ninetieth street, remains today without any
further light shed on the deed. That
the man who was found dead in the
car was robbed for his money and that
he was a man of good family could be easily detected from the shape in which
the remains were left.
East Chicago, Ind., Aug. 14 (Special)
-Elsie Nelson, a three-hundred and
ten pound lady from Chicago paid In
diana Harbor and East Chicago a visit yesterday. To show her joy at being In our midst and also to convince the denizens of Indiana Harbor that she
had absolute confidence in the quality of the booze dispensed in that town she proceeded to load up on the same.
Now, loading up Elsie is no ' small
matter. As soon as the stock ran out
in one saloon she changed her patron

if there would be a whiskey drought In the city by the lake.

have one of the few opportunities to gratify their desire. The works will be thrown open to the people and they will

the special day.
It is hard to estimate the number of persons who will take advantage of this opportunity, but it is thought that
they will likely be composed largely of farmers. They will dine at the Gary hotel at noon after they arrive in town, after which they will go directly to the mills. Those who will have the
opportunity to go will have a chance not only to see the greatest mill 6f its kind in the world, but the scene of the greatest business acltvlty In the region.
the car crew on the way over but the street car men not having a proper appreciation of the lady's humor and apparently being jealous of the versatility of her vocabulary decided to call the.
policeman they saw on there arrival In
East Chicago.
It fell to the lot of that trusty but
exceedingly gallant officer John Thomp
son to be the first one sighted. Elsie was put In his charge and the officer
started with her to view the city hall. When Elsie took a timid slant at the manly grace and athletic proportions
of the Adonis of the force she seemed to
fall violently in love with him.
All her maiden modesty seemed to
have deserted her too for she insisted
that the officer carry her. John bucked and became very much embarrassed but
Elsie was obdurate and to show she meant what she said sat down in the middle of the sidewalk and refused to
budge. Thompson looked helplessly
around when his eye caught sight of
Officer John 'Weifenbach strolling leisurely along about a block away.

Crown Point, Ind., Aug. 14. (Spe
cial.) At last, the unexpected has happened. In spite of all the gibes and , witticisms that have been hurled 4 the old Erie milk train, it accomplished a feat this morning beyond the wildest dreams of the passengers who have ridden on the staid old "milk churn" year in and year out. If The Times didn't have a reputation for truth and veracity ahem! its readers would hardy believe this tale, and even in spite of its reputation this will be taken with a grain of salt. Think of the Erie milk train going at such a pace that it easily outdistanced a little yellow dog that was making a frantic effort to accompany its owner, who was riding on the train! Can you imagine going such a dizzy and awe-inspiring pace on the old milk train? Actually Happened Today. Believe it or not, that is what actually happened this morning as the train pulled out of Crown Point bound for Wirt, three miles distant. The dog started at the Crown Point station to catch the train, and If the engineer hadn't been so hard-hearted and started his train at Wirtz when doggie was a block behind his train, it
could have ridden the rest of the way into the city. Passengers on the train watched the race with Interest and never knew the train to make such speed. It is said, however, that the brakeman was called Into service to shovel coal and help the fireman out, who had nearly succumbed in his efforts to feed the engine in order to keep ahead of the dog, he being a kind hearted fireman and not wishing to run over the poor little beast who was so anxious to ride with his master.
