POLICE CUM

UP LOAFERS

Gary Police Chief is Successful in Having Ordinance Passed Which Includes Charges That Are Not Specified in Statutes.

TOWN BOARD

HOLDS MEETING New Ordinance Is Introduced Providing Against Tapping of Service Water Pipes and Contract for City Plumbing Is Let Yesterday.

A "disorderly conduct" ordinance was passed by the Gary town board yesterday afternoon, which gives to the police the authority to pick up. the loafers, marauders, those interfering

with the police, and suspects of every variety. The ordinance is unique in this part of the country, as it provides for the arrest of persons for offenses which are not included in the statutes of Indiana. Gary is the first city in this vicinity to adopt this ordinance, with the exception of Chicago, where It has been in vogue for a number of years. Chief Martin AVanted It. This law was asked for by Chief Martin, so that a man could be picked up and placed under arrest without having any specific charges placed against him, as it was necessary to do heretofore. All he has to do is to charge the man with disorderly conduct, which may include any one of offenses of loafing, making an unnecessary noise, bothering an officer while making an arre's.t, causing trouble of any kind, or trying to cause trouble. In this way a suspect may be picked up, who has been loitering about the street, or who does not look good to

the police. This ordinance will become effective after the proper publication

and will be put In vogue as Boon as

possible. Introduces Sw Ordinance. Attorney N. V. Call at the meeting yesterday also Introduced an ordinance providing against the tapping of the service pipes of the water company, or interfering with the service In any manner. He also provided for the protection of the fire plugs and other matters for the protection of both the company and the city. There was but one objection raised by the city and that was the necessity of having to go to

the water conTpany's office for a permit any time that it is desired to alter the plumbllng no matter how trifling the Job. It was finally decided that the permits must be obtained only when the service is altered below the meter, where the flat rate Is not In use. Public Printing Contract. The contract for the public printing for the ensuing year was awarded to the Gary Tribune. The bidding was close and the successful paper won out by a narrow margin. There were four papers which bid for the contract. After the plat of the Condlt-McGinnity company for the Third Grant addition to Gary had been approved and the regular bills allowed, the meeting ad

journed.

WANT A NEW CLUB

East Chicago Is Arranging to Go Into the Cure Beauty Business. (Special to The Times). East Chicago, Ind., Aug. 26. A movement is on foot In this city for the organization of a "Civic Beauty club," having for its purpose the car

rying out of the city's original plans

for the maintainance of a city park.

The plot of ground In the center of the

city, formerly used as a concert park,

has been allowed to practically go to

ruin. A lew aouars, spein juuiciuusiy,

in the placing of benches and settees and the trimming of the plenteous foliage would give the city a resting place equal to any In the surrounding

cities. .

A petition will be circulated by a local man within a few days to which

every citizen will be requested to sign his name. This will be addressed- to the council and request their co-opera

tion in the making of a "city beautiful

in East Chicago. Several East Chicago

men of affairs have promised the do

nation of substantial sums of money

towards any labors of this nature

There is little doubt that it will meet

with the approval of the public in gen eral. . '.

PUBLIC SENTIff NT WITH HIM

(Special to The Times). Indiana Harbor, Ind., Aug. 26. One

of the prettiest romances of the year was revealed last night when the engagement of Dr. F. P. Hodson, one of

Indiana Harbor's prominent physi

cians, to Miss Lucile Kauffman, was

announced. The announcement came

as a surprise to the many friends or

the young couple. - '

Recently Moved to Indiana Harbor. Dr. Hodson recently moved to Indi

ana Harbor and opened a medical prac

tice in this city, spending three days

a week in uary.,; The cnier attraction

in . the city, it is believed, was Miss J Kauffman, whom he. met at a clinical operation about three years ago. From

the first professional meeting in Chicago, at that time, their affection ripen

ed into- a true and lasting love, culmi

nating as all true loves do, in the announcement last evening. Graduate of St. Mary's. Miss Kauffman is but 19 -years of age and a graduate of St. Mary's college. She is a brilliant musician and one of Indiana Harbor's . prettiest debutantes. She is the daughters of Charles Kauffman, proprietor of the Kauffman hotel in this city. : ' i ' Received Clinical Treatment. Three years ago Miss Kauffman suffered with a complication of diseases and was taken to the Illinois State Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat hospital, where an operation was declared necessary. Dr. Hodson, one of the house surgeons, was selected to perform the difficult task and as he performed a successful operation Cupid, the mischief-maker, entered his heart and left a visible impression of Miss Kauffman thereon. It was purely a case of love at' first

sight. Frequent calls at Miss Kauffman's Indiana Harbor home led to her promise to become his wife. The ceremony will take place in about . three weeks, although the exact date has not yet been determined. A Prominent Lecturer. Dr. Hodson is assistant surgeon at the Illinois state hospital, and a promi

nent figure on the lecture floor of Rush Medical college, the National School of Medicine and other clinical schools.

He Attended the Session of the

Municipal League in the Interest of City.

Indianapolis, Aug. 26. The republic

an campaign in Indiana will be opened tonight with a speech by Congressman James E. 'Watson, candidate for governor, at Fort Wayne. Several

state officials and prominent members of the party from this city will participate. Persons In a position to know say that the opening speech Is one of the strongest If not the strongest ever prepared by Congressman Watson. It would fill about fifteen columns of the

Yet the East Chicago council declared that they had not given Mayor DeBriae authority to join the league, and for that reason withheld the $15 admission fee. Will Re-introduce Bill. Mayor DeBriae declares that he will introduce the claim at every meeting of the council until it is paM. His action is based on the support of his constituents, all of whom are strong in the belief that Mayor De Briae worked for the best interests of the community when he allowed his name to be used in connection with the minutesof the Laporte meeting.

strongly by Thomas R. Marshall, democratic candidate for governor and other speakers of that party. Mr. Watson has prepared his speech with great care and the state committee wil lissue it in pamphlet form as

a campaign document. In it he .makes temperance clearly the issue. All other questions are made subsidiary to this.

He discusses the two kinds of local option proposed one by counties and

the other by townships and the city wards and insists that the one Is a great advance step while the other is a step backward. Will Stand on Platform. The candidate declares his intention to stand with both feet upon the platform of his party and refers to his record in congress to show that he has been consistent in his support of temperance and labor measures. Mr. Watson will remain In Fort Wayne, Thursday, to address the Me'thodists of Aliens county, and -will. go. to

ond Street Bridge,

COTTAGE ON ADAM STREET BURNED LAST NIGHT,

Mike Zefl Lonen Ilia Houne and Claim Bums Set It on Fler. A cottage owned bv Mike Zak, located on Adams street between Seventeenth and, Eighteenth avenues, was de

stroyed by fire last night at 1:15, the

jhour which seems to be chosen by the

Incendiares for their work.

The house was not an expensive

building ahd although all of the furnl

ture in the place was burned, the loss will not be more than $500. Zek claims that bums set the place on fire, but the police are not inclined to believe his

story. . - . .. . . .. -

For the first time in the history of

the Ninety-second street bridge the

street car service will be abandoned.

Its delapldated condition " has caused many accidents. It has been condemned and then repaired again. '

The street car service on Ninety-sec

ond street has been wretched for the

past two years, Only about two weeks ago the bridge was nearly knocked oft its foundation, caused by a big fcoat running into It. Since the consolidation of the Calumet Electric the traffl has been Increased and the delays caused by the condition became mors numerous. Street Railway Company Bnay. General Manager Sloan of the South Chicago City Railway Company said, to a Times reporter this morning that he had stationed a man at the bridge to get the time how long the street cars were delayed at that point. He was kept there for over two weeks and It was found that it would be useless to try to give any service and pass over the dilapitated bridge. So the service over the Ninety-second street bridge will be discontinued and the cars will run from Ninety-second and

Erie down to Ninety-fifth street and then over the same route to One Hundred and Sixth street.

The street car company is now busily

engaged In building a double track over Ninety-fifth street from Avenue N to Ewing avenue, which is supposed to be completed by next Monday.

Extension on Ewing Avenue. An extension will be made on Ewing avenue from One Hundred and Sixth street to One Hundred and Eighth street, and the cars will probably run down One Hundred and Eighth Btreet hereater. The company will also' put in brick pavement on Sixty-ninth, street from Ontario avenue to Exchange avenue In Windsor Park. As soon as the cars start running over the Niney-flfth street bridge the residents of South Chicago and the East Side can breath a little easier as the service will be more prompt as the delay caused by the Ninety-fifth street ' bridge will not be as great as that of the Ninety-second street bridge, as It ia a Jack-knife model and Is operated by electricity, while the old delapidated structure over the river at Ninety-second street is turned by hand. The Ninety-fifth street bridge can leave a boat through Its bridge In about three or four minutes, whije it always takes from ten to fifteen minutes at the Ninety-second street bridge.
