There Is plenty doing in that line in South Chicago. Rows among the neighbors on the East Side are getting to be every day occurrences.

RD 111 FIGHT

w Member of Transportation Committee Say That I. C. Smoke is a Nuisance. THEY FAVOR ELECTRIFICATION Says Parks and Houses in His Neigh borhood Are Being Ruined By Coal Dirt. Ernest Bihl of Burnslde, alderman from the thirty-third ward, has joined the smoke crusade against the Illinois central railroad. Mr. Bihl, who is a member of the Chicago local transpor tation committee of the city council expressed his views today: 'The only thing that will satisfy the citizens of South Chicago and ad joining towns in the thirty-third ward will be the electrification of the Illinois Central," said Alderman Bihl. "I would be in favor of an ordinance to compel the electrification." A visit to the thiry-third ward would convince any one why it would favor such an ordinance. Spoils a Park. Out in Pullman the park commis sioners have erected a beautiful park. It is called Palmer park. The Illinois Central runs within a few blocks of that. It is a park for the children and the grownups. They go there to get fresh air and become healthy. When the wind blows from the east what they get is black soot laden smoke from Illinois Central trains pulled by engines which are fed on cheap soft coal. On the other side of the Illinois Cen tral right of way is Pullman, the model city. For years the Illinois Central has run through this little suburb and blackened its pretty buildings with its dirty, sooty, cindery smoke. The people of the suburbs have suf fered as much as the people in Hyde Park, Kenwood and Woodlawn. Alderman Bihl comes from a ward that is cut and cross-cut by steam railroads. The Illinois Central oper ates through Burnslde, which is part of the thirty-third ward, and has its big railroad shops there. The Illinois Central and other ' railroads going through that ' suburb have blackened it so and charged its atmosphere so full of smoke that life there is a bur den to its people. nibl Kiioin Condition. Alderman Bihl has studied this con dition. As a member of the local transportation committee he has studied the whole transportation ques tion. He has come to the conclusion that electrification has got to come to Chicago. Many other aldermen agree with him fully. "Electrification is the only remedy for the smoke nuisance," said Alder man Bihl today. "The factories and other buildings can be regulated. In my own ward I have seen this. New smoke consumers have been put in and boilers changed until the nuisance has been reduced 75 per cent. That does not seem to work with the railroads They run all the time and go on smok ing." NOTED ITALIAN PRESENT B. G. Passarilli Guest of At torney C. Bretsch, Arrives in Gary. B. G. Passarilli, the Italian consul to Indianapolis, arrived in Gary last night at 6 o clock, the guest of Attorney Clarence Bretsch. He expects to re main in Gary for several days where he will inspect the mills, and the city, and make the acquaintance of the leading citizens of the most energetic city in the country. This evening a banquet will be given in the Gary hotel In honor of the consul, and it is expected that twenty-five of the leading Italians of the city will be present to greet their representative at the state capital. Heard Much A boat Gary. Mr. Passarilli, stated to a Times' reporter last night that he had heard so much about Gary that he could not postpone a trip to the steel city any furher. He also stated that they are talking about Gary in the old country as the eighth wonder of the world, and that the name is just as common in the household, as that of any of great cities of the world. He stated that he thought that this was due to the wide newspaper publicity which the city has been given, and which Is characteristic of the American people. Mr. Passarilli also remarked that the population of the city had been greatly exaggerated, and that he had expected to see 30,000 people in the city when In fact there were only 15,000. Woman Took Dare; Posed on Chimney.

Mrs. Anderson and her two children were drowned In Lake Delavan Sunday evening, when a pleasure launch struck their rowboat. Mrs. Anderson just had decided to postpone her return to Chi cago one week. BAD FIRE INJURED ""SIX MEN YESTERDAY (Con tinned from pace one.) able, but It Is swelled considerably when all those volunteers are taken Into consideration who helped lo fight the blaze. There were a dozen structures touched by the fire and It lasted for three hours. Chief Dilschneider and his depart ment fought gallantly, and while there was criticism offered from some, parts of it came from parties who stood idly by, merely wanting to be entertained with something thrilling. The Minas store was a firetrap of thQ worst kind, a tlnderbox having the appearance of a substantial building on the outside, but really nothing more than a veneer structure, in which one layer of brick covered two frame cot tages which, had been built together and covered with a tar roof. To put the lire out was an impos sibility and all that could be done was to prevent the flames from spreading. FIGHTERS ARE WAKXED. . A dozen of fire Insurance agents had gathered on the scene and when they learned that the building was of the veneer style they were satisfied that it would have to go up In smoke, and warned the fighters to beware of the falling walls. That they were correct in their estimates of the scope of the fire was proven later when the rear half of the southeast wall fell inward. covering five men.That any one of the fire should have escaped with their lives. Is miraculous, and people who were eyewitnesses are still unable to account for their narrow escapes. They remember a hairraising sight of a huge pile of brick quivering as though It were straining like a thing possessed with life, and slowly bending forward and tfcon giving with a snap. PANIC EXCITED CROWDS. It was then that a panic seized the two thousand people who had gathered in the threatened district, attracted there by the possibility of some excitement. They got more than they bargained for and sooner than they had looked for it. It seemed impossible that any of the five should have escaped with their lives. Hundreds of men dreaded the grewsome sight that would in another minute unfold itself before them when five people would be dug out of the ruins, battered to a shapeless mass. But eager hands groped through the smoke and with feverish haste began throwing hot brick to all sides of them in their hurry to uncover the victims. The tumbled wall, partly supported by the broken timbers, lay like the gable of a roof. Underneath were five men. WHITTON GETS OUT. Before their work had fairly begun, Lloyd Whitton, one of the volunteers who was covered in the debris, emerged like a man from the grave. He Is only a young fellow, but the word "dare' Is written in large letters over his face. It shone through the soot and grime with which he was covered. He made his own way out of the wreckage, stumbling and falling and nearly overcome with smoke. He ached in every bone where he had been struck by fly ing brick, but he seemed none the worse for his experience. He was soon followed by Ira King, another young fellow of "Whitton's type. He seemingly did not realize the narrow escape that he had and passed it off with some joking remark that he did not want to get too close to brick again. The escape of the two young fellows somewhat relieved the tension of the crowd which had now gathered in the alley. xiltl, was rxcoxsciors. The rescuers worked on. Under the brick they saw a blue uniform, and they worked harder still, enveloped In smoke and flying water. Soon they dragged William Nill, the assistant fire chief from the debris. He was unconscious. He Is one of the biggest men in the department and usually excites very little comment for frailty. But the eight of the fire fighter, limp and dead-like, being carried through a passage of awed spectators brought forth many a surpressed sigh of pity. He was laid out on a grass plot and medical attention was given him. Tom McQuisten and Clarence Tuley were still in the debris, but nobody knew who they were. The rescuers worked on, themselves almost overcome by exhaustion and soon the limp forms of McQuisten and Tuley were brought out. BOTH WERE i:COXSCIOUS. They were both unconscious. Still a large part of the fallen wall remained untouched and nobody knew how many

-WW 3 4 J I V t3 f . - people were caught under it. So the work had to continue, although It was pretty positively known that all had been brought out. In the meantime the regular de partment men labored on. Chief Dilschneider was everywhere. The men worked hard and willingly. There was no soldiering on that job. Before the blaze got very bad there was a sensa tlonal rescue from the fiat In the Mlnas building. Mrs. Kittle Russell went back into the flat after it started to burn to get $80 she had there and against the counsel of Chief Rimbach. When she didn't return right away, he went after her and found her over come with smoke. The chief had i narrow escape himself and had to have the help of two firemen to complete the rescue. GRIFFITH. The gravel road Is progressing quite rapidly now, the contractors having quite a large force of men at work. L. A. Southworth, who has been spending a couple days in Chicago with relatives, returned home yesterday. All our teachers are attending the institute at Crown Point this week. Harry Arndt, the 7-year-old son of John Arndt, died yesterday while at Chicago hospital after having under gone an operation for appendicitis. He was taken there Sunday evening and seemed to have undergone the opera tion successfully, but a suden change took place and he died at few hours afterwards. The funeral will be held at the home of his parents Thursday at 10 o'clock. Rev. Lorlng of Crown Point will offlciate. VALPARAISO. Charles W. Camp is in the Vale to day from Garrett. S. H. Baxter was here from Fort Wayne, last evening. R. C. and E. G. Hlgley of Tepehuanes Durango, Mexico, have arrived In the Vale to attend the coming term o school at the university Wood Wilson and Walter Fabing were fined $5 anad costs amounting in all to $15.90 each, by Justice Lauder bach yesterday afternoon for hazing high school freshmen. The boys, who are not students, joined the "paddl brigade" of sophomores and juniors in an effort to "initiate" all freshmen who arrived to attend the term of school opening yesterday morning. Fifteen of the "paddle brigade" who were stu dents, were suspended by Superin tendent Hughart immediately upon the opening of school and will have to hav an Interview with the school board be fore being allowed to return to school The boys think that they will have n difficulty in securing reinstatement, for they say that one of three members was present shortly after their suspen sion and Intimated to the superinten dent a desire to have them returned Another member of the board has son among those suspended. The feeling is that Superintendent Hughart should be encouraged in the stand he has taken in an effort to abolish a brutal and barbarous practice that has existed among high school upper classmen, with occasioned intermissions, for years.

(Special) Herman Saagers, a farmer living north of town, was tried In Judge Nicholson's court yesterday on a charge of assault and battery on the person of Roy Williams, the young son of Phiienus Williams, the liveryman. The assault took place at a ball game about 0 miles north of town between some of the town boys and a young base ball team from Alnsworth. Said lie Wasn't To Blame. It is said by the young boys who witnessed the assault that young Wil liams was in no way to blame and had not provoked Saagers to commit the assault, which Is reported to have been very brutal as Saagers is a big fellow about thirty-four years old, while his victim is a young lad between thirteen and fifteen years of age. It Is said Saagers had been drinking and was partially crazed from the effects of the liquor when he proceeded to break up the game. Quick Hike Was Popular. Ht attacked young Williams and the rest of the lads ran. Williams was badly bruised and is confined to his bed from the effects of the pounding he received and in consequence of Saagers falling on him during the scuffle. The Judge, after hearing the evidence fined Saagers the limit which is $25 and costs, which will amount to some thing like 55. Saagers is also bonded to pay the doctor's bills and other costs arising from the Injuries to the young lad. Saagers admitted his guilt, but gave his overdose of liquor as a cause for his actions. Sentiment ran high against the young man and had the Injuries to the Williams lad proved more serious, things would have gone hard with him.
