GREEN AND SOUS

GET CONTRACT Chicago Sewer Builders Will Contract One of Largest Sewers in Region. COUNCIL MEETS LAST NIGHT 'ive Bids Are Received By East Chicago Officials, But Green's Bid Is Lowest. (Special to The Times) East Chicago, Ind., Sept 17. Green & Sons company, wealthy Chicago sewer contractors, last night were awarded the Indiana Harbor sewer plum and will commence within thirtv Ava n the construction of one of the largest sewers ever built in this sortlnn nt the county. The Alder avenue sewer, which will drain the entire eastern end of the city, east of the canal, emptying its refuse through the main pumping station at Indiana Harbor, was the specific contract under consid eration. Five bids were received and although Green & Sons company were second on the list, they received the work. "We will do the work in a strictly up-to-date manner," promised Mr. Green himself to a Times reporter. "We will install derdeges and tool houses and will show the citizens of East Chicago and Indiana Harbor a samole of real sewer building. Have Lot of Blj? Contracts. Green & Sons Co., are a Chicago firm me present lime nave over a million dollars worth of onntmrts pending in .Peoria, 111., Chicago, Gary and Ottawa, 111. neaiy & Co., while the lowest bid ders were not considered frnaRciallv capable to carry out the contract and their petition for its award Was refused.

Proudfoof, Chicago 249,420 Federal Improvement Co 263,122 Nash & Dowell Co., Chicago 269,710 HARBOR PEOPLE KICK Poor Approach to Lake Shore Depot Causes Complaint. Special to The Times Indiana Harbor, Ind., Sept. 17. There has been considerable complaint at In diana Harbor because of the poor approach, to the Lake Shore depot there. The old board walk which served the passengers who went to the depot has been torn out by the city and has not been replaced by anything else. The Lake Shore depot has been used by more people in Indiana Harbor than any other and yet there is not a passenger who goes to this depot who dees not have to wade through sand to the shoetops before he can get to the station. There is also a great deal lacking in the way of beautifying the vicinity of the depot and the impression that the ousider gets of Indiana Harbor is no very favorable. Mr. G. J. Bader said the other day that he thought it was a shame that the city or the railroad did not make some effort to Improve the looks of the depot and the approach to It. He believes that walks should be put in so that the patrons of the road, especially the women, could get to the depot without so much inconvenience and difficulty. The people of Indiana Harbor are meeting with the same difficulty as the citizens of the other cities of the re gion regarding the beautifying of the entrance to the city from the railway stations and the clamor for the city officials to take some action along line is general. this ST5 1. WICKEY Congressman Cclgrove of Hastings, Mich., at the Harbor. Special to The Times Indiana Harbor, Ind., Sept. 17. Phillip T. Colgrove of Hastings, Mich., was a Harbor guest yesterday afternoon, accompanied by Edward W. Wickey, candidate for the office of republican representative.

Mr. Colgrove is posi tive that Watson will carry the state and is making several campaign talks In his interest, as well as that of the national campaign. He spoke Tuesday evening in Valparaiso and last evening delivered an address to an enthusiastic gathering in Hobart. Before leaving Indiana Harbor, he took a short trip over the city and was surprised to note its unusual advancement during the post two or three years. Its a great town, he said, and should prove a wonder In the next few years Mr. Colgrove was also a Whiting visitor yesterday afternoon. TaANSINGL William Busack was In Chicago yes terday. John Meeker was a Chicago visitor yesterday. B. Ward of Chicago eHights was in town this week. F. Taylor of Chicago visited In town this week.

INJURED

IN AN EXPLOSION Bernice Fuigi of East Chicago is Fatally Hurt at Her Home. LITERALLY BAKED TO PIECES If Woman Recovers Doctor It Will Be a Remarkable Says Case. (Special to The Times) Indiana Harbor, Ind., Sept. 17. Mrs. Berneice Fulgi is critically ill at her home,! 3720 Alder street, as the result of a gasoline styoe explosion on Tuesday evening. Dr. C. C. Robinson, who is attending the patient, yesterday declared that the woman could not live and that death was but a matter of a few hours. Mrs. Fuigi is the wife of Vincent Fui gi, an employe of the Inland Steel company. On Monday evening she was preparing her evening meal when the gasoline stove exploded, throwing the burning fluid over her clothing. The frail garments were soon ignited and with the clothing flaming she ran into the street, screaming for help. Neighbors rushed to the scene and were able to smother the flames, not until her body was severely burned, howere. Flesh Baked About Body. Her flesh was scorched about the limbs and her face badly burned and all during the long hours of last night she suffered intense agony. If the woman recovers it will be one of the most remarkable cases on record, said Dr. Robinson, for she is literally baked In places. If there is any possibility of a satisfactory climax, she will be rushed to St. Margaret's hospital in Hammond, but local physicians declare that she is receiving the best possible care at her own home. Her husband is distracted at the thought of losing his wife and all last night kept ceaseless vigil at her bedside. COIIISSIERS MEET Board Winds Up Busy Term at the County Seat Yesterday.

SOX DREAM A NIGHTMARE. Cleveland made it four out of five from the white sox yesterday and the local pennant dream was turned Into a ghastly nightmare. The score of 7 to 1. fairly represents the difference In the team as they performed. The only good thing about the affair was it marked Cleveland's last appearance of the season here. The Washingtons come today and they may be easier, but that is no lead pipe. Quite a crowd of fans were surprised to see Louis Fiene doing the pitching for the sox. They had almost forgotten Lou, during the period he pastimed in Minneapolis. Those who didn't see the game probably will not be surprised the sox lost when they discover that Fiene pitched. But as a matter of cold fact the fault wasn't his, Fiene pitching a game that ought to win. But his support was something awful. He doubtless would have faced better if he had had the rest of the Minneapolis team behind him. TWO MORE FOR YOST'S SQUAD.

scrubs. This makes a total to date of thirteen men. "Billle" Edmunds of Youngstown, O., who never donned a uniform till last spring In the early practice, is causing the "bugs" to set up and take notice. Edmunds tips the scales at 190 pounds, and is with all that beef, one of the speediest men on the list, having covered the century dash in under 0:11. He has booked as a full back candidate of no mean ability. Benbrook, a mere babe of 210 pounds, from Chicago, looks good as a tackle to Yost, and is reasonably sure to land the coveted plum. The men were put through four hours of fast hard work on a field as hard as a cement walk, and were sore and weary and discouraged with the small showing of candidates. Trainer Fitzpatrick joined the squad today. DELANEY IS HANLING ATTELL. Veteran Says lie Is "Willing to Back - Abe Against Rattling Nelson. San Francisco, Sept. 16.

When Moriarity visited the polling booth at 1212 Summer street to register he objected to answer some of the questions of the registration officials. Wilkins attempted td convince him of his error and the argument that followed soon to blows. Wilkins had all the better of the scrap. Moriarity was arrested by a policeman of his dls-

Nelson is the best pugilistic card In America, and Edwards, being a shrewd Judge of the value of a fighter, once game Nelson a $5,000 guarantee to meet "Terry" McGovern in this city in a six-round bout. There were some skeptics when it was announced, but the Dane took $11,171 as his end of the percentage. Then the Battler was not a champion and he had not fought the famous forty-two-round bout with Joe Gans at Goldfield, Nev. Now the Dane has twice beaten the title-holder, and he is the unquestioned lightweight champion of the world. TOLESTON. Mrs. J. Salisbury visited relatives in Chicago yesterday.
