TO ABOLISH SMOKE NUISANCE
City Council Goes Into Session This
Evening After a Summer's Vacation.
A little seven-year-old son yesterday afternoon bravely attempted to res
cue his drunken lather from the tracks of : the Michigan : Central railroad at
Gary, Just as the 4:57 West bound pas
senger train came along. The efforts of the little child, however, were futile, and were it not for the timely arrival of Chief Mulcahey, who. In a flash, dragged him from the tracks, at the risk of his own life, the father certainly would have met his death. Carari His Reneuer. The man, who Was well dressed and had a prosperous appearance, stated that he lived in West Pullman and had come to Toleston, where he intended to visit a relative. He refused to give his name. A rig was secured for him and he drove to Toleston at once. Instead of thanking the officer for saving his left, Mulcahey only received bitter curses for disturbing his drunken stupor. Sprarrled on Track. The little child standing on the track with the passenger pulling out of the depot at Broadway and fast approach- J Ing Washington street, alarmed the: officer as he saw him standing there on the track, evidently playing there and unaware of his danger. As Mulcahejtreached the spot, he was dumbfounded to find a man sprawled across the tracks, insensible. In an instant he was jerked to his feet and thrown to one side of the track. As soon as he could be aroused, he began to hurl a volley of curses at the man who had rescued him, while the boy stood by with a look of gratitude In his eyes. "Who Is this man?" asked the officer. "Why, that's my father," replied the little fellow, scarcely realizing that his father was paralyzed with intoxicants. Ordered lo Leave Town. Mulcahey then proceeded to tell the man In no uncertain tones, his opinion of one who would take a little child with him on a drunk and warned him to get out of town at once or he would bearrested. He asked for a rig with which he could drive to Toleston, and he was furnished with one from the Gormley livery stables. It Is not known how the man happened to i stray to Gary, but Itj is thought that he had taken the train to Gary and intended to make connecions with Toleston at this place, which would be the most convenient way for him to get to Toleston. He arrived at that place safely, however, after he had been sent on his way, for the rig was returned in good shape.
Important developments are sched
uled to come up before the Chicago city council tonight, in which many bodies of Chicago's civic strength are determined to Jiave a cleaner city. They will rush their law making representatives in the city council with a proposition which, is believed, will make the Illinois Central railroad come to time and ejpetrify its' lines within the city limits, thus abolishing the "smoke nuisance" which for years has hindered the progress of the beautiflcation of the city. - -- 1Vat Road to Electrify. At a meeting of representatives of. the Woodlawn Improvement association. South-Park Improvement association and the powerful Hyde Park Improvement association, held Friday night last, a petition was drawn up and circulated calling onjthe city council to refuse to grant the Illinois Central permission to cross fifteen streets in Kensington with its new connection with the Kensington and . Eastern to Gary, unless the road in return will electrify its tracks In Chicago from Randolph street to the city limits. Give Little Want Little. " This is the whole proposition in a
nutshell: The associations are giving
very little and are wanting very little in return. The city council now holds the bull by the herns, because It is known that the I. C. people are extremely anxious to complete their lines
through Kensington. The work has been delayed from time to time on accoitnt of the I. C. not having the fran-
hise to cross these streets in Kensing
ton. As soon as this connecting link
completed the Illinois Central will
have a through iiise over the Kensing
ton and Eastern and the Chicago, Xake
Shore and South Bend, its termlinal
point beins South Bend.
What will be the outcome of to

Whiting Citizens Suffer
From Franchise Granting Troubles. (Special to The Times).
Whiting, Ind., Sept.; 14. Whiting is suffering from the flrs.t spasms that
seemingly prevail in any community
in which a street car .franchise is the
leading question.
The city council met last Saturday night In a special session to further
consider a franchise that was Intro duced last week at the regular coton
cu meeting, dui no agreement was
reached.
Tnat nmng wants tne new company to enter seems conclusive, but
there Is a big difference of opinion as
to the route that it should follow in the city limits. Some of the residents
are dissatisfied as to the route pro
posed by the company, they preferring to have their streets free from street
car tracks, while others would prefer
the line to run on Ohio street Instead
of on Standard avenue. t
This difference of opinion existing,
the council has preferred to leave the people decide the route and . will ac
cordingly advertise the matter and lat
er call a massmeetlng to get the sentl
ment of th city.
Mr. Erb,- the representative of .the
syndicate which is promoting ' the' I In is,
was present at the meeting and he too is satisfied that the people should
decide for themselves as to the route
The syndicate proposes to make
Whiting a terminus with local services
and run interurban care to East Chi
cago, Indiana Harbor and Gary.
Everything seems to be- satisfactory
up to the present, excepting the rout
. in Whiting. ... ; ....
The Lake Shore & Michigan South
rn railroad will build a large outer
terminal yard on its lines east of Mil
lers, towara .uune .farK, involving a
cost conservatively estimated at $2
000,000. Work will in all probabilitv
be begun during the next year and1
the yards will be completed by 1910.
This yard will be at the intersection
of the Lake Shore with the Indiana
Harbor belt line, where there will be
an interchange of business for west
ern roads.
Work Han Begun.
The road Is now proceeding with the
wotk.. ii nas purcnasea ana is eon-
aemning tne strip or land four miles
long ana i.vvm ieet wiae, comprising
approximately 485 acres, the cost of
which will be approximately $200,000
The yards will have a capacity of 10,
ooo cars. Uhis is probably the most important railroad development in the
way of construction of yards to ac
commodate the enormous tonnage in
and about Chicago that has taken place
in this city in years.
IRELAND- IS FOR TAFT
St. Paul, Minn., Sept. 13. Archbis

Taft for president.
in an interview last nignt the ven
erable prelate said he was openly in
favor of Mr. Tafts election, and he
denounced what he termed demagogi attacks on capital and corporations.
Corporations that offend the law
should be punished," said the arch
bishop, "but to raise an outcry against
them simply because they represent
commence and property is In my opin
ion senseless and unjust."

This afternoon at the Gary hotel, H. P. Smith, . business agent of the laborers' union, and President William Gallagher of the Contractors' association, will meet in another attempt to settle the difficulties now existing between the two organizations. As stated in The Times Saturday, however, there will be no arbitration, as the laborers have come to a definite decision not to concede in a single point for
which they have contended. Pant Arbitration Point. Mr. Smith stated last night that they had passed the point where they would treat with the Contractors' association any further, and that if a settlement was made it would be through the employers individually. There has already been a number of them, who are members of the association who have agreed to the terms demanded by the unTon, regardless of their affiliation with the association and several others, it is understood, will retract from their position and sign the articles of agreement. : May Keach Agreement. Mr. Gallagher,; who seems '"to be laboring under' a misapprehension, informed The Times that he would meet
Mr. Smith today and if they could not reach a" settlement the matter would be taken-before an arbitrator and left to his decision, lie also asserted that both he and Mr. .Smith were vested with power of .reaching an agreement. If that is possible, for their respective organizations. Sign ' Individual Agreements. A number of men. by- virtue of the signing of an individual agreement with contractor's have returned to work, a,nd it is expected that more will
go back today. ..Those who have signed up, have made every - concession
asked for by the laborers' union,, in
eluding the wage scale which has been
the principle issue of the present troble. Both are anxious o see the
matter settled without further delay
but it is a certainty nat nis win not
be effected by arbitration.
(Special to The Time.) East Chicago, Sept. 14. Judge William A. Reiland, after listening to the evidence. for several hours on. Saturday afternoon, held Shandor Meyer, a young Hungarian, to await the action of the superior court at. Its next term. Meyer was arrested Friday on a charge of bigamy, preferred by his second wife, Lizzie- Blhari. Chae Across Continent
'rne story of the man's dual life, Is
one of unusual interest, and contains the tale of a chase across the continent. Meyer was married in Hungary to a woman named Marie Marckowitz.
many, many years ago. In 1900 he decided that he would come to the new
world and make his fortune with several of his fellow-countrymen. His wife, however, refused to consider such a proposition, and beat him unmerci
fully, he alleges, whenever he mentioned it. She then told him to go, but go alone, and Shandor left the country, taking with him the sore memory of her unkindness. On arriving in eNw York City In 1901, he associated with an unlawful crowd, it is alleged, and served a term of five years in the State prison on the charge of murder. - Meet Ills Affinity. He was released in 1906 and met his afflinity Lizzie' Bihari, with whom he lived until three months ago. He then left her in the Empire state and told her he would send for her as soon as he received work. Coming to Indiana Harbor, he secured employment and wrote for the Bihari woman, sending her money with to make the journey of 1,000 miles. She came and shortly after her arrivel learned ' of her husband's double role. A brother-in-law, James Meyer, unfolded - the tale of
Shandor's guilt to her, and learning to care for the woman himself, told the history of his brother's wife, dwelling long on the subject of the first wife. Result-" Shandor was arrested on a warrant sworn out by the Bihar! woman. He confesses to the earlier marriage, but attears to believe he was justified in leaving her and taking unto himself a new wife, by reason of his first love's incompatibility.
The possibilities of some near stenog
rapher,, in the way of taking dictation In shorthand and then writing it out on the typewriter were sufficiently demon
strated a short time ago when Attor-
new W. J. McAleer of Hammond, had occasion to recruit an East Chicago damsel in the absence of his regular stenographer, who was on her vacation.
The girl is said to be a student in a
Hammond. business college, but this is no reflection on the school as she was
In all probability not recommended by the school. .
Iii garbling legal phrases and mis
spelling words, she is a pastmaster. She tore- the last . thread of patience with her employer, however,, when she
wrote, out the following, correctly dictated legal complaint, which is sub
joined In all its virgin originality.
That it will take more than a Phila
delphia lawyer to disentangle the mess, can easily be seen as one wades further
into the tall timber of her legal phraseology and spelling. The complaint is as follows: The Complaint. State of Indiana, County of Laksss. In the Superior Court, September Term, 1908. George E. Boone, Plaintiff, vs. Inland Steel Company, Corporation. Defendant. Plaintiff, complains of the defendant and alleges that the defendant has a corporation duly organized and executing an advertising business In the County of Lake and State of Indiana. Paragraph for Philadelphia Lawyer. That on the 9th day of September 1907 said defendant was running and conducting a plant in Indiana Harbor in which said defendant manufactured Steel Blats and other materials and also
conducting what is known as Blast Furnlce in the conducting of said Blast
Furnice that in running and conducting
paid Blast Furnlce It was edjecting from
said Blast Furnice into a certain ladle
on two trucks what is known and commonly called Cinder which is the Red refuse of Iron Ore and other materials in its liquid state that, the plaintiff was
injured by It said ladle of said kind of
fcinder on said day has hereinafter set
out. Set On the ladle."
That is to say that on said nice day
of November 1907 plaintiff was em
ployed by defendant to dump said red hot liquid cinder out of said ladle on a certain dump or what is known as a
cirder dump that on said day plaintiff went to work about 6:00 p. m. and that lie had been working for about 12 days that plaintiff worked at night. The foreman for whom he worked Edward
.1. O'Donald andaalso the forman for
the Inland Steel Co., that where plaint

ladle and pulled the pin out to dump
said cinder or - liquid it would fllow
away on sam incline.

A SERIES OF TEN TALKS ON ADVERTISING "K J 4 f written by Seymour Eatsn of Philadelphia 1 0 XV A man succeeds not because he advertises his business but because he lives it; because he eats it, sleeps it, dreams it, builds air castles about it. The man who never builds air castles never builds castles of any kind. The great motive power of any business is the strenuous personal faith of the man back of it. Put your name to the front ; your own personality. This is a tremendous force in advertisi ng. People like to know individuals. They like to feel that they are being served by men; not. simply getting their goods out of the hopper of a treadmill. And if people have any kicking to do and the American people enjoy kicking they prefer to kick individuals. It is mighty unsatisfactory, for instance, to kick an Express Company or a Railroad or Brown; Smith & Company. One can't hit the bull's eye. Breathe the breath of life into your advertisements. It is safe to say that nine out of every ten advertisements which we see are as dead as Egyptian mummies. They are beautifully decorated; twined around with fine linen; draped and boxed for burial. The y have eyes and nose and mouth but they neither see nor speak. They don't even smell. Their faces are either made of putty or are chiseled out of beautiful marble. There is no throbbing pulse. Advertisements are written to appeal to live people ,and nothing can get into the heart of humanity so easily as another heart. y If you have faith in your goods and the public has faith in you the circuit is complete. The advertisement is simply the transmitter through which your faith operates. The trunk lines are all laid. Every home is connected up. To put your shop in communication with one hundred and fifty thousand possible customers is dead easy. The newspapers go to press shortly after midnight. At eight o'clock tomorrow morning you can talk to one hundred thousand people about the few little attractive features of your shop which you are making ready ; some suits which you are closing out at half-price or some new importations which you got through the custom house only yesterday. Don't run away with the idea that you need to apologize to the public for disturbing their breakfsat with your affairs. The people like it. A newspaper without advertisements wouldn't sell. Advertising isn't grammar; it isn't pictures; it isn't type ; it isn't top of page position. It is something far more real than these things. These are merely accessories. Advertising is making the proper telepathic connection between you and the customer. It is the art of making the type speak.
