SAID TO HAVE FORGED NOTE

Recently Dissolved Partnership With C. W. Kose and Eobert Crosz. Real estate men were shocked yesterday to learn of the arrest of Bela Walder, one of the best known real estate men In Gary, on a charge of forgery. Mr. Walder has been one of the most successful operators among the numerous foreigners who have been handling Gary real estate In the city. Tor some time he has been associated with C. W. Rose and Robert Orosz & Co., but their affiliations have been dissolved recently and Walder was on the market alon. Walder has a large num-. ber of friends who will be dumbfounded to learn of his arrest. In response to a demand from the 'Austro-Hungarian monarchy, through its consular representatives, Bela Waldr, who has ben doing a prosperous real estate business In Gary, Is under arrest charged with forging bills of ex change and promissory notes. It is alleged in the foreign papers telling of the flight of Walder that he strengthened the fictitious paper with the forged signature of his rich uncle, A. N. Walder, the village banker at Scekscard, Hungary. Young Walder fled three years ago seeking America as a refuge and bringing with him his beautiful wife. In this extermity Mrs. Walder remains true to her husband, asserting his innocence and declaring she will sell ler gowns and jewels to obtain his release. Cived rnpreeiitioly. For over a year the Walders have lived very quietly in a $30 top flat at 8131 Groveland avenue, Chicago. Walder could afford much finer quarters, as since he has ben advertising Gary realty money has poured in upon him for investment. Mrs. Walder says that the $10,000 was no more than a loan from his uncle and that she and her husband had been denying themselves all luxuries to save the money to pay back the sums borrowed. One of the pathetic scenes yesterday was the meeting between Walder and his pretty wife. She managed to get Into the same room with him in the office of the United States marshal. She threw herself Into her husband's arms, and with tears streaming down her face, cried: "It is an outrage; is there no justice In this country?" ' Alexander D. Xuber, the Hungarian Consul In Chicago, saw the Walder advertisements and was struck with the names. Circulars had reached him describing the fugitive. Detectives Investigated and fully substantiated the suspicions of the consul, learning that the rea lestate man was no other than the escaped forger. Arrested at Midnight. Walder suddently left town and Btoppe dat the Hayes hotel in Warsaw, Ind., registering under his own name. Fearing that he was planning a second flight. Baron Forster of the Hungarian consulate with Deputy Marshal Currier, hurried to Warsaw, dragged 1 the man out of his hotel room at midnight and placed him under arrest. When taken Into custody Walder did not deny his identity, but refused to make any statement. He has been held awaiting extradition by Commisioner Foote. the hearing being set for September 3. ARGUMENT GETS HOT; KNIFE IS USED. John Znher of South Chicago, Gets a Knife Because He Argued. An argument over the net profits that the Illinois Ste lcompany makes anually, resulted in serious injury to John Zuber of S315 Colfax avenue, early this morning at 1 o'clock. Zuber and his friend, George Terzk, and other man were walking along Eighty-seventh street and when near Superior avenue the argument became so heated that Trezk drew his knife and plunged it Into the ribs of Zuber, below the heart. Zuber sank to the sidewalk in a pool of blood and Terzk made his escape. Later, however, he was arrested by the roliee and will be held pending the outcome of Zuber's condition. Zuber was taken to his home at 8315 Colfax avenue. A Gambling Curs. Some years ago there was an extraordinary outbreak of gambling In Russian Manchuria. Men spent all their days playing games of chance and work was utterly neglected. The authorities tried fines and Imprisonment in; vain. At last they made a new decree, and the next batch of gamblers were sentenced to wear iron rings riveted round their necks. The result was splendid. Gambling ceased as if by magic. Stimulus of Sex Rivalry. Tn her free competition with the other sex woman will occupy the place in life for which she is best fitted. By taking this position - she will help to elevate man, the wife the husband, because the best way to bring about the survival of the fittest men is to promote rivalry between the two sexes in the struggle for existence.

FISHERMEN RETURN WITHJMIY TALES Gary Sports Who Spent Two Weeks in Wisconsin, Back Home. SAY LARGEST ONES ESCAPE They Meet Several Celebrities in the - Woods and Swamps Yarns With Them. The jolly party of Gary . fishermen, who left two weeks ago from their trip to the northern waters of Wisconsin, have returned, a merry sun-burned looking lot, who from all appearances and the animated story of the trip, must have had the time of their lives. Attorney H. F. McCracken and Geo. O'Donnell, proprietor of the Gary hotel, returned to Gary today, while Captain H. S. Norton and Attorney George Manloce remained in Chicago where they attended to business matters. AVcnt to Mackinac Island. The trip which took two weeks was the finest that could be planned. The party left Chicago at 3:00 o'clock two weeks ago Saturday and went direct to Mackinac Island. Here they spent two days seeing the famous summer resort and then left on the steamer Juanita for Houghton, Mich. . From this city , they went to Sazon on the Duluth and South Shore railroad and from that place on the Northwesterit to a point in northern Wisconsin. Here the party traveled for over fifteen miles by stage to the Turtle and Flambo rivers which connect with a chain of lakes in that vicinity. . The real sport then began and the tales told of the heavyweight muscalong landed by various members of the party would make an amateur sport feel sick. Several of the fish have been shipped back to Gary and will be fasted upon by neighbors as soon as they arrive. Probably the biggest fish thatl was hooked, was that by George O'Donnel which he didn't . land. George, blames it on Attorney Manlove, who he says dropped the f.sh back into the water from the landing net after he had pulled it up to the boat. Both Mr. O'Donnel and H. F. McCracken lost their poles while hooking several big ones. Meet Celebrities. The party were .accompanied by guides from the time they left the stage coach until their journey was completed. Camps were strung along Jthe river and at various points the par ties-would stop for the night. They met several celebrities while In the back woods, a number of them being well known Chicagoans. Among them were. Will J. Davis, Addison C. Thomas, Chief Shippy and his son, Charles Comiskey, the baseball magnate, Mr. Hemler of the Hemler Orom works of Chicago, and various others. The Gary party returned by rail. TELEPHOXE YOUR NEWS TO THE TXttES-

Trip From Down Town Lies Past Number of Landmarks of Chicago Bathers are Worried.

Manhattan beach is the objective point as described in a trolley trip by the Chicago Daily Kews. All the scenes through South Chicago, Cheltenham and Windsor Park are described In the trip which is as follows: Presuming that the objective point, Manhattan or Cheltenham beach, be the main incentive of his trip, and not the journey by trolley, the tourist will avail himself of the elevated to cover the distance between downtown and Sixtythird street and South Park avenue. Arriving at the place of transfer he may board a yellow car marked Manhattan beach, which for a couple of blocks traverses South Park avenue, then turns east and again south, em erging upon Sixty-seventh street. This is the dividing line between Woodlawn and Oakwoods cemetery. For nearly three-quarters of a mile the car runs past the south side's most noted cemetery, and a short distance east of its eastern boundary its way leads over Stony Island avenue, turning Into this thoroughfare at the southwest corner of Jackson park. At Parkside, Stony Island broadens to generous width. Equaling in this respect the widest boulevard Chicago boasts. But at Seventy-fifth street, passing the pumpIng station north of this point, a final turn is made and the way lies thence straight eastward to Lake Michigan. Past the Cricket Grounds. There is a view to the east of some cricket grounds before the car turns into Seventy-fifth street, and thence for a few blocks the tourist finds himself in the country until the outskirts of Windsor Park come into view. Even as close as this land lies to a populous section of the city, it Is for numerous garden beds in which a variety of "sass" is grown. Some of this vacant land is, however, open prairie, and still more of it is in groves of trees, and throughout the landscape is fairly picturesque and beautiful. To the north soon appear the tidy homes of Bryan Mawr, and corresponding to the location and southward from the tracks Is to be seen the links of the Windsor Park Golf club. And away across the prairies the vanguard of South Chicago's grim battalion of towering chimneys looms up. At the Beach. Windsor Park is reached in due course and finally , the conductor calls "Manhattan . Beach" and all the passengers alight. This beach is crowded week days . and Sundays with lovers of the water.. There are several bathhouses where room , may be hired to disrobe in and bathing suits are also to be had for a small consideration. ' Children Study Weather Charts. Study of weather charts is now general in the elementary schools of Handover and Schleswig-Holstein with the object of making their value in agri culture better known. These charts are supplied by telegraph and post to all schools in Germany, but systematic instruction on meteorology is only gradually being introduced.

iTORfil 6EIS 750 VOLTS -IN BODY Charles Vollr Interurban Employe, Has a Disastrous Experience. IS VERY BADLY BURNED Takes Three Men to Pry Motorman's Jaws Apart From Soft Steel. East Chicago, Ind., An sr. 27. Although a current of 730 volts, more than double that used to electrocute a human licliiK, passed through hbt body. Charles A oil, a Chicago, I.nke Shore and South Bend railway motortiian survived the shock and his Chnnves for a complete recovery are excellent. Voll is 32 years of age, and unmarried. He stays at the Kaufman hotel on Michigan avenue, Indiana Harbor, although his parents reside in Chicago, Coming to Indiana Harbor recently, he was given a position as motorman of car Xo. 8, one of the huge GaryHammond cars with pantagraph trolley. Yesterday afternoon the pantagraph was found to be not operating properly and Voll decided to investigate the extent of repairs necessary. . Climbing to the roof of his car, oil-can in hand, he commenced to oil the bearings. The car had been standing on the Baring avenue "Y" for some time and Voll thought little of the danger accompanying such a feat. By some inexplicable manner his body became a part of a short circuit and the full current of 750 volts passed through his body. He was taken from his feet and thrown fully twenty-feet from the car, where he was found by Road Claim Agent J. W. Cahillls, of South Bend. In falling, Voll sustained ' serious bruises about the head and face, and his escape from a severe concussion, was almost a miracle. .' . The muscles of his body were rigid and It took the combined efforts of the claim agent and conductor to pry his teeth apart.' A small chisel was used for this purpose and so strong was the muscular tension that the imprints of his teeth were left in the soft steel. Volls tongue was moved in accordance with " hygienic instructions to induce respiration. As soon as he showed signs of returning consciousness, he was hustled to local car 51, and rushed to the office of road physician Ansley at the Harbor. Inquiry into the extent of the young mans injuries revealed the fact that aside from bruises about the head, his left hand was charred to the bone. A severe charring of the flesh of the right leg, between the knee and ankle, will keep Voll confined to his room for sev eral weeks. This is the second acci

dent In two days on the new line.

Pastor:

superior in every way to those already in use, made by other- companies. One of the larger railroad companies which has been watching the tests which have been under way In the railroad yards in the car works district the past several weeks, a short time ago placed an order for a small number 'of wheels, the number not being made public, and the manufacture of these .wheels will be commenced within a few days. These wheels when delivered to the purchasing railroad company will undergo the severest possible tests and trials and if they prove to be what the railroad company expects from what its experts have already seen of the wheels it is more than probable that larger orders will follow, as railroad companies are always in the market for car wheels, and all are desirous of Securing a better and more substantial wheel than those now in use. Should the new wheel to be made at he new nlant in Butler Drove to be the indications are that it will, the demand for the product of the Butler plant will be large and continuous. His Excuse. Little Bobbie is a faithful attendant in the "baby class" at Sunday school. One day, when the teacher called upon him to recite the Lord's grayer, he started bravely, floundered, tarted again, and finally' gave up, aying: "Teacher, I can't say it, I'm o out of practice." PHUT
