NTERURBAH VICTIM DIES OF INJURIES East Chicago Man Passes Away "Without Explanation. an LEAVES SISTERS IN RUSSIA Coroner E. M. Shanklin of Hammond Held Inquest Today. Will Give His Verdict This Evening. (Special to The Times). East Chicago, Ind., Aug. 28. Joseph Rekehr, the unfortunate Lithuanian who was struck by a C, I S. & S. B. interurban car at One Hundred and Thirty-eighth street and Euclid avenue, Indiana Harbor, died at St. Margaret's hospital in Hammond about noon yes terday. His body was brought to the morgue of Andrew Kmiec, 4927 Magoun avenue, this city. Interment will be made tomorrow morning, although ar rangements for the funeral have not been completed. Leaves Six Slater. Mortician Kmiec has also learned that Rekehr, or Jtekos, as he is some times known, leaves six sisters, one of whom resides in Brooklyn, N. Y. The other five reside in Russia and will be advised of their brother's death by local Lithuanian society. A brother of the unfortunate man, John Rekehr, has also been located in Chicago .and will arrive this afternoon to take charge of the body. Inquest This Morning;. The physicians who had charge of the case at its inception decided that it was a case for Coroner Shanklin and informed him of its unusual features last night. The coroner arrived in East Chicago this morning to con duct the inquest. The testimony of C. Oerthley, the saloonkeeper who saw Rekehr arise from his chair in the Oerthley buffet, Motorman Kull of car 60, which caused Rekehr's death, and three Hungarian eye-witnesses of the tragedy will be taken. AVas Death Premeditated? It is still a matter of doubt whether the tragedy was accidental or the re sult of a premeditated suicide. No evidences of despondency have ever been shown by the. deceased and his action in throwing himself in front of the fast approaching car was not the act , of a drunken man. On the evening of the tragedy Rekehr had taken but little liquor and, according to Oerthley, seemed to be struck by a sudden men tal storm which literally swept him from his feet and to his destruction. Coroner Shanklin will render his ver dict this evening. BULL DOG LICKS FROSTIHGJFROM BUNS Max Hirsch, Baker, Gets Into Trouble as Result of Dog's Sweet Tooth. VIULATES PURE FOOD LAW Manufacturer of Bun That Made Tolleston Famous Sought By Health Officer. Have you missed the usual sugar coating from the buns made by the Toleston Baker, Max Hirsch? If you have, don't blace the baker, but the big bulldog which rides about on the seat of the delivery wagon, and in the absence of the driver, satisfies the craving of its sweet tooth on the sugar covered buns. Of course the dog is to blame. Of fleer Miller caught the animal in the act and it is said that the dog has made a full confession, at any rate Max Hirsch is about to be arrested, charged with violation of the pure food law, as he leaves his happy home in Toleston and comes again to Gary. May Moke Ills Fnmona. Mr. Hirsch is the manufacturer of the bread that made Toleston and Gary famous. The bun escapade is more than likely to make his buns famous before Mr. Horsch gets out of this deal, according to the health department's idea of the case. The dog was discovered by Officer Miller, who quickly reported the case to deputy health officer Gun Neuman. The latter responded at once, but Mr. Hirsch'g driver having a hunch that something was about to be pulled off, absconded with the unsweetened buns back to Toleston. Depriving the customers of the sugar was not the only offense which the officials claim that is being perpetrated by Mr. Hirsch. They say that the latter is delivering his goods in a wagon In which the food products are left uncovered and exposed to the dust and dirt of the streets, which is contrary to the recent legislation. It is also claimed by Officer Neuman that he is running an unsanitary place in Toles ton, and that some action will be taken to force him to clean up at once.

MONSTER Times Graft Exposure in East Chicago Creates a Tremendous Sensation and Meeting Tonight Promises to be Jammed. ALDERMAN LEWIS' FRIENDS RALLY Interviewed and Mayor Ed DeBnae Declares That He Has No Voice In Council's Actions. Street Car Company To Be Attached By Improvement Association. (Special to The Times). East Chicago, Ind., Aug. 2S. The story of the alleged Kraft exposure to be made at the mass meeting of the Citizens' Improvement assoeiation tonight has been the source of unusual discuwNton. AVhen The Times made its appearance on the streets of East Chicago lust evening, vrith the allegations of the association in full, there was a constant demand for the Issue and the voters of this city and Indiana Harbor gathered on the street corners and devoted several hours to a consideration of the charges. The Chicago and Indianapolis papers devoted considerable space to it. It is predicted that Moss hall on Olcott avenue will not be large enough to accommodate the throng which will attend the meeting. It is expected that between three and four hundred citl zens of the two cities will be present and join in the discussion. Colonel Walsh and Charles Pitzele, the prime movers of the association, are very busy gathering their forces together and there is little doubt that this even ing's meeting will be sensational in the extreme. Have Been Invited to Attend. The members of the city council have been Invited but will not attend. There will be an adjourned session of the council this evening for the consldera tion of several road improvement mat ters and this will detain them from the meeting at which their character will be attacked by men of vim and energy. Friends of Alderman Lewis are strong in his support, and will attend the meeting that they may personally refute any allegations of dishonesty brought against him. An attempt was made to locate Alderman Lewis last evening, but was in vain. A Times representative, failing to reach the reform-alderman on the telephone, visited his home at 10 o'clock last evening and learned that the Lewis family was away from the city, but expected back today. Mayor Refuses to Discuss It. Mayor De Brlae of East Chicago refuses to discuss the matter, declaring that as mayor his position is an unusual one, there being very few matters in which he has a voice. He is, he says, merely the president of the board and not enabled to sway the discussion. The W estrumitlng company has been informed of the allegations against their company and the first ward alderman. They will send a representative, conversant with the case, to attend tonight's meeting. This gentleman, officers of the Improvement association declare, will be treated with the utmost courtesy but a thorough explanation of the modus operandi of his company wil be demanded. "The company itself is guilty of granting concessions, and I believe that we would have an excelent case of extortion against them," said member Charles Pitzele. M ill Attack Street Car Company. The Improvement association will also attack the Hammond, Whiting & East Chicago Street Car company on the half rate rules, declaring that chil dren traveling from Roby to East Chi cago should be compelled to pay only three cents, and not the full fare. Franchises granted to the South Shore Gaa & Electric company will also be examined and an investigation made of the unusual charge for broken globes. In Whiting and Hammond, they declare, new globes are given in exchange for the broken bulbs, but in East Chicago a charge is made for every bulb returned. While the coun cil Is not primarily to blame for this condition, they will be requested to at tempt its remedy.

BENTALL CASE IS
II Former Editor of Northern Indianian to be Tried Monday Morning. CHILD'S SICKNESS IS CAUSE Defendant Now in Brokerage Busi ness in New York and Doing Well. The criminal case against E. G. Ben tall, the former editor of the Northern Indianian, was continued again today because of the sudden illness of At torney M. E. Gallon's little child. A few minutes before the case was to have come up before Judge D. L. Fitzgerald, Mr. Gallion received a telephone message from his wife saying that the child was in a dangerous condition and that it was not expected to live. Mr. Gallion hurried right back to Chicago to be at the sick bed of his child. The embezzlement case will come up before Judge Fitzgerald at 10 o'clock Monday morning and the grand larceny -ase will come up before Judge Townsley at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Mr. Bentall was evidently very much disappointed yesterday because of the fact that the case was continued. Mr. Bentll is in a brokerage business in New York City and says that the absence from his business Is hurting him considerably and that he is anxious to get back, iff nothing prevents. Mr. Bentall states that since glng to New York he has been building.up a splendid business and thinks that he will make a great success of it. In regard to the salary which he claims Is still due him, he states that there was a misunderstanding In regard to the salary that was to have been paid him while he worked on the Gary paper and that he was not paid the full amount. The sickness of Attorney Gallion's baby is due to the fact that some time ago the child was given a wash for its eyes and the druggist gave the Infant the wrong kind of medicine. It has never recovered from the effects and as a result its condition is now considered very serious. Attorney Gallion is sueing the druggist for his error which is likely to cost the infant's life. The child is but three months old, and the application of tha wrong kind of medicine was made several weeks ago. Chicago, Lake Shore & South Bend railway. "We will maintain this hourly schedule unless Interruption through accidents or repairs are necessary," said Mr. Kellogg to Thb Times correspondent. The first car leaves Hammond, via East Chicago and Harbor Junction at 5:33 a. m. and the last atll:33 p. m. Heretofore it has been necessary to change cars at Harbor Junction but the Installation of the new system eliminates this inconvenience. The cars reach the East Chicago crossing at Forsythe and Chicago ave nue seven minutes after leaving the Hohman street station. Cars returning from Gary leave that city on the even hour.

Realty Suit Filed in Superior
Court Brings Out Many Complications. One of the peculiar tangles in the ownership of lots in Gary has been brought to light recently In the suit to quiet title, whoch is being brought by a Gary real estate dealer on property located on Madison street, between Fourteenth and Fifteenth streets. The property was owned originally by Miss Jennie Fairweather, a woman living in the west. Some years ago she acciuired the property, and has since been paying the taxes on it year after year. In some unaccountable manner It was sold by the Chicago, Toleston Land and Investment Company to a party who in turn transferred it to another. The lot has been turned over several times, until the situation is so complex that the matter will have to be thrashed out in court to determine who the real owners of tht strip of land is. In the meantime, Mrs. Fairweather had supposed that she was still the owner and had been sending In the taxes to the county treasurer. The case will be fought out at the next term of the superior court by Attorneys Harris & Bretsch. INSPECTORS WHITING Find Conditions There Unsanitary But No Arrests Are Made. (Special to The Times). Whiting, Ind., Aug. 28. Whiting milk dealers came in for a critical Inspection yesterday by Frank Tucker and Ivan C. Weld of the state pure food commission. The two inspectors are making a swing around the circle in the county and struck Whiting yesterday, finding the milk dealers not entire unprepared for their visit. As yet no warrants have been issued, although in some places it was found that milk was sold under very unsanitary circumstances. Suggestions were made at nearly every place for Improvement of conditions and if these are carried out no arrests will be made. It is the practice of the inspectors to go around and warn dealers as to conditions. It is on their second trip that warrants are issued for arrest if It is found that the suggestions have not been carried out. The two inspectors yesterday not only inspected the dairies but also the 6tores where milk is handled. They may come back to Whiting to make an Investigation of the stores and bakeries In the near future. AGENTS TAKE APPEAL Judge Jones Assesses Fine on Singer Sewing Machine Men.
