PEDDLERS MUST BE LICENSED HEREAFTER

New Ordinance at Gary Goes Into Effect and Embraces All Kinds of Agents. ' A TO LEVY IS ALSO PASSED Board at Its Meeting Decides That City Should Have More Street Lights. All peddlers doing business in Gary will hereafter be licensed, whether they be fruit dealers, sell cooking utensils, in fact any one who disposes of his goods from house to house must pay the city a stipend and procure a license before the gates of the city will be thrown open to him for business. A common, ordinary pack peddler, hereafter, no matter how humble, will be compelled to pay the sum of $1.50 per day for a license. This fee will probably prove enough to eliminate this class of peddlers from the city entirely. , Xew Rate Schedule. The rates to be charged, as provided in the ordinance passed yesterday, are as follows: For vehicles propelled with animal power, $50 per year; human power, $10 per year; oil wagons, $10 per year; pack peddlers, $1.50 per diem. This means that the fish peddler, the rag dealer, the fruit dealer, the oil man and any peddler that uses a horse, is placed under the class of vehicles propelled with' animal power. The peanut and popcorn men are put in the class of the vehicle supplied with human power, and the man who sells soap and whiskbrooms will be rated as a pack peddler. The above ordinance will become effective at once. The licenses may be obtained on written application to the president of the town board. The town clerk will then issue the license and supply the applicant with the proper tag. Tax. Levy Panned Upon. Another important matter passed upon at the board meeting yesterday was the tax levy for the followin was the tax levy for the ensuing year, the amounts which were decided upon being as follows: General fund, 50 cents on the hundred; park, 5 cents; water, 10 cents; light, 15 cents; sinking fund, 4 cents. This was practically the same as that for last year, but it was a little higher in some places. The general fund and the water and light fund was considerably increased, f The board also decided yesterday that the city should have more street lights and consequently ordered eight more, hese will be placed at various parts of the city, including Broadway, where there will be a light placed between each block in addition to the ones on the corners from Fourth avenue to Eighth avenue. This will make Broadway as light as day at any time of the night and will be of material help to the merchants. The town clerk read a communication from W. R. Abbott of the Chicago elephone company, in which they reply to the request which has been made for service to that place. He informed the city officials that they had made a thorough canvass of the village and that they did not find enough subscribers to warrant putting in the service at the present time. SOLOIOfj IS 111 BAD Gary Lawyer Who "Went His Bondsman, Regrets Kindness Very Much. It is very likely that the career of Julius Solomon in Gary is ended.

He took his whole family with him and even succeeded in taking his furniture. It is said that Solomon owes the meat packers in the neighborhood of $700 and he owes the wholesale grocers a large sum. He is said to be one of the most crooked men who ever came to Gary and an effort will be made not only by his bondsman, but by his Chicago creditors to locate him and make him settle.

SEEK KIDNAPPER OF 13 YEAR GIRL

South Chicago Authorities! Looking for F. J. Blair, Alleged Child Thief. ALICE' NEEDHJIM iS MISSING leaves Home To Answer An Adver-j i tisement and Is Never Heard - . From Again. F. J. Blair, the alleged kidnaper of Veronica Cassidy, is being searched for with renewed effort by the South I Chicago and downtown police, on account of the strange disappearance of another Chicago girl yesterday. Miss Alice Needham, 13 years old, 1693 North Warwick street. The South Chicago police are now at work on the case and it is said that Blair may be apprehended in a short time. The journey of the local detec- j tives to Milwaukee last week, where I a man answering to Blair's description was held, proved fruitless. Needham Girl Disappears. The Chicago police today are puzzled over the strange disappearance of the Needham girl who, intending to asnwer an advertisement for a nurse. left her home on Monday evening. ' It was shortly after dark when she ' left her home, barefooted and without a hat, telling her foster-mother, Mrs. I James Madison, she was going to see a friend. Half an hour afterwards the woman says she heard the child screaming, the sounds coming from a thick clump of bushes near the house. Runs to Rescue. Mrs. Madison ran to thev place, but beyond evidences that a struggle had taken place there was nothing to be seen. No trace of the little girl was to be found. The foster-mother immediately notified the police, and an all-night search was begun. It' is now feared that the girl was forcibly kidnaped by the man who lured away littfe Veronica Cassidy. The police have renewed their search for Blair, and hope that, with the added clews obtained, they can capture him. Mob Seen Near Girl's Home. A man answering the description of Blair was seen in the neighborhood of the girl's home several times within the last few days. He was stylishly dressed and, because of his actions, attracted attention. Simultaneous with the disappearance of Miss Needham the stranger dropped out of sight. The police declare they are convinced that he and Blair are one and that he is responsible for the disappearance of the young woman. The methods used to lure Miss Needham away were similar to those in the case of Veronica Cassidy. Advertisements appeared in the newspapers calling for young women to act as nurses. In each case the mysterious stranger was the advertiser. He held out alluring inducements and succeeded in having a number of young women and girls leave their homes. GIVES A FINE BANQUET it Italian Consul Meets Guests Who Sup in His Honor Last Night. Attorney Clarence Bretsch last night gave a banquet at the Gary hotel in honor of V. S. Passarilli, the consul for the Italian government at Indianapolis. Mr. Bretsch became acquainted with Mr. Passarilli when he was attending school at Indianapolis. He took the occasion of the visit of Mr. Passarilli in Gary as an opportunity to entertain him ,and there were fifteen guests, mostly Italians, present. " Mr. Passarilli said that he hoped the Italians in Gary would conduct themselves in such a manner as to be a credit to the Italian government, and Mr. Bretsch told about Gary, its wonderful growth and possibilities. BURGLARS GET BOOTY Residence of Alexander Hartman is Entered ByThieves Last Night. Burglars entered the saloon and residence of Alex Hartman, which is located at the corner of Seventeenth avenue and Jefferson street in Gary and were frightened away before they succeeded in geeting some valuables which were stored away in an old trunk. The police think that the burglars knew that there was money and some jewelry in the trunk or they would not have opened it the first thing and made an attempt to go through it. The robbers were heard in the building at about 2:15 in the morning by Alex Hartman and his wife, who sleep in the rear of the saloon. They at once got up to investigate and the robbers were frightened away. It was discovered that they had entered the house through a window on the south side of the house. When they were frightened away they left by the saloon side entrance.

They let a game with St. Louis slip through their fingers, while both New York and Pittsburg were winning a pair. A stlffer jolt couldn't have been doled out to the champs. It dropped them from practically a tie with the giants clear down to third place with a thud that nearly paralyzed 4,000 fans. Of course there was not way to prevent the giants and pirates winning their double bills, but it does seem as though some scheme could have been hatched out to prevent the local catastrophe. The cubs had the cardinals beaten 4 to 1 at the start of the ninth, and then those jokes, who had been

guyed unmercifully for their amateurish playing by the fans, went on and made three runs off Reulbach on "four hits, tying up the game to the utter amazement of the rooters. That wasn't all.

White sox evened up on the series with the browns today by taking the second game of the engagement by a score of 13 to 3. Smith pitched for Chicago and held the browns to five hits, but McAleer had to call out half hia pitching force to stop the sox after they got going at full speed in the last part of the game. Graham pitched seven inning of the game and for six periods he was almost perfect, holding the sox to three lone hits. In the seventh he exploded with a thud, four hits and four runs being made off him before the end of the round. Bailey was sent to the slab in the next round, but he fared worse, for the sox pounded out nine runs off seven hits and mixed in a couple of errors to make it good in that round. Criss had to take Bailey's place before he could get the inning over, as there were only two men down when the change was made. MISCELLANEOUS BAL LGAMES.

Attell, we will go after Battling Nelson in an effort to secure a matcii under conditions identical with those demanded by Attell when the " latter fought fifteen rounds with the Dane," declared Harvey.
