DEIS WOWS STORY If! TOTO Kittie Walters Says Mrs. Garris Was Actuated by Motive of Revenge.

POLICEMAN STICKS TO STORY Says Garris Was in Woman's. Room and Neighbors Tell of Keveltries. CSpecial to The Times) Indiana Harbor, Ind.. Sept. 18. The story told a Times reporter of the alleged elopement of Mr. H. C. Garris, a prominent millman, and Mrs. Alice Walters, of this city, appears to have been actuated by a desire on the part of Mrs. Garris to avenge her fancied' grievances. Mrs. Walters, who regrets the woman's tale, Wednesday evening, is still in Indiana Harbor. Garris, the man in the case, .has left the city, and Mrs. Garris left lat evening for her home in Appolo, Pa. "My relations to Mr. XJarris," explained Mr&. Walters yesterday, "were merely those of a friend of the family. I have known Mrs. Garris and her husband for many years. I nursed Mrs. Garris and her husband both during serious illnesses and have never had any improper relations with him." The attitude of the woman was explained by Mrs. Walters. "She had many quarrels with her husband and naturally tried to bring me into them. Falling in this, she decided to wind up her story with a lot of miserable lies which have no foundation. Mrs. Walters denied vigorously that she had ever been found by a police officer in the home of a friend, with Mr. Garris, ' disshabile. Mrs. Walters' will also defend any charges brought against her by Mortician Teal charging her with not paying the funeral expenses of young Ansley McCracken, who died several months ago. "He was my brother-in-law," Mrs. Walters explained," and Mrs. Garris lies when she declares that he was my fiancee." - There are some discrepancies between the stories told by Mrs. Walters and the police officer who accompanied Mrs. Garris to the home of Mrs. Walters. She declares that she was in the parlor at the time the police officer arrived. The policeman, however, declares that he entered the house and was directed by a man at the door, whose name is supposed to be Boone, to the bedroom of Garris' frmer nurse. "I rapped at the door and a woman's voice answered it, asking who I was," saidt he policeman yesterday. "It was fully two or three minutes before the door was opened and Garris appeared in the, doorway, deshabolle. Neighbors in the Garris home tell tales of revelry at the Garris apartments. On several of these occasions Mrs. Walters was brought to the Garris residence where her, appearance frequently aroused the ire of the wife. Following one of these midnight revelries, Mrs. Garris explained to - a neighbor that "her husband had told her that he preferred the Walters woman and did not care if his wife did object to her company." A $16,000LAND DEAL Ohio People Buy One Hundred Feet Frontage , ' in Gary. One of the, biggest real estate deals that has been reported in Gary for some time Is that In which Harry King & company disposed of 100 feet of property on Broadway, near Twelfth street" to Dr. Fred J. Harrison, Charles Wast and Harry V. Atkins of Steubenville, for $16,00$. The syndicate is purchasr.g property in Gary for the purpose of building at once and it is likely, be cause of the fact that they have unlimited capital behind them that they will erect several large buildings. Their plans, however, up to this time have not yet been divulged. This sale by Harry King, tends to show the livening up of the market which has been on the steady Advance for some weeks past. Real estate deal ers are universal in their belief that conditions are now rapidly improving In this city. During the past few weeks more goo substantial sales have bee'n reported than at any time since the first of the year. The class of buyers is also greatly improved over the previous unstable spectators. PIANIST IS NOW GONE A man, who is known in the saloons of Gary as "Leslie, the King of Piano Players," disappeared yesterday and simultaneously there were a number of articles which Joe Piper, the owner of the . saloon where Leslie . worked, was unable to find. The articles which are missing are a suit ease, a shot gun, worth $150; and. two suits of clothes, the total value of which was $200. The man is believed to have gone to Chicago and the police there .have been notified to look for him in the vicinity of Wabash avenue and Twenty-second street. An effort will be made to locate the stolen articles in the pawn shops in Chicago In the south side red light district. IXLErEOKE TOnt WEWS TO TBI SXMfiS, .

ROUMANIANS HOLD REPUBLICAN RALLY Two Hundred and Fifty of. Them Meet in Indiana Harbor.

(Special to The "Times) Indiana Harbor, Ind., Sept 19. Two hundred and fifty Roumanian republicans met in the Auditorium last night and listened to the wise counsel of such speakers as the Rev. S. Mihaltan, president of the Roumanian Republican club and Hon I. Leon Gould of Indianapolis. The meeting was enthusisatic and throughout its session was marked by the interest displayed by the audience. The Roumanians of Indiana Harbor are progressive and should roll up a large majority for "the ticket" at the November polls. They are far-seeing and can resognize the vlue of the republican platform compared by their pastor with the dem ocratic fallacies Hon. I. Leon Gould was the most noted speaker of the evening. His theme was "County Local Option," and he handled it in a masterful manner. Although speaking in English, his audience greeted him cordially and listened to his remarks with unbroken interest. - Mr. Gould opened his address by asking the simple question, "Shall the brewers rule, or shall the people, you, my countrymen, rule this nation of ours?" The words were spoken in the Roumanian tongue and were greeted with answer "Noi", the translation is, "We". Their belief in the republican platform is supreme and under the direction of such men as Rev. Mihaltan and Mr. Gould they will prove a valuable factor in the coming election.

They Play" a Great Part In Develop, merit of Nitrate Beds. Northern Chile, which is so largely mountain or desert, is generally regarded as a forbidding wilderness, but here may be found a number of oases, the most conspicuous of which are Pica and Matilla. It has been found that in various parts of the great Atacama desert the earth underneath the surface layer of sand or salt is sufficiently moist to grow crops, capillary attraction spreading the water through the soil. The rainless Atacama desert is the scene o'f the greatest industry of its kind in the world, yielding enormous Quantities of nitrates used to enrich the fields of Europe and the United States. The oases play a very important economic role in the industries of the region, supplying vegetables and food stuffs for the support of the workmen, alfalfa for the cattle and various fruits, and also serving as timber producers for the nitrate works, which require much fuel. There is no part of the world where agriculture is more Intensively carried on than in these green spots in the Atacama desert. Zion's Herald.

LAD IS SAVED

jp DEATH Officer Rank of South Chicago Does a Mighty Good Turn For Boy. Thomas Krumbecker, a lfi-year-old lad, living at Youngstown, Ohio, was saved from sure death yesterday evening when Officer J. F. Rank took him from the roof of a coach on the Lake' Shore flyer at South Chicago. The boy was attempting to beat his way in this foolhardy manner from Chicago to New York. He was in St. Paul on Thursday and had come to Chicago as a blind passenger on a train. He made his way to the Lake ' Shore yards and waited for the 18-hour limited to pull out. He, escaped in the yards without being detected by the yard officials and as the train came by his hiding place, he jumped from a box car onto the roof of the limited, which had already gained speed. It was a daring feat a,nd might have cost the boy his life. Fortunately, however, he managed to cling onto the flat roof without interference from the train crew. His trip would not have been interfered "with by anybody had the train not come to a short stop in South Chicago. There Officer Rank spied the strange passenger and ordered him off. He was taken to the police station, where he told his story again. He was haled before Judge Lantry this morning, who, after hearing his story turned him over to the juvenile officer. ELECTRIFY TERMINALS The dreams of the citizens of Chi cago for a lake front free from smoke, which was given prospects of realiza tion on Wednesday by the announce ment that the Illinois Central direc tors had authorized an investigation of the feasibillay of electrifying their Chicago terminals, were given another boost yesterday when President J. Tv Harahan returned from New York. His arrival was followed by an announce ment that the experts who are to make the Investigation already have been se lected, and will take up' the work without delay. Still further encouragement to the hopes of the promoters of the "city beautiful" idea was contained in a statement from Blon J. Arnold, the city's consulting electrical engineer, and one of the foremost authorities on electrification in the country, that it was not feasible but a comparatively simple matter to electrify the Illinois Central, and not only the passenger service but the freight serv ice as well.

EVIDENCE BROUGHT TO LIGHT IN CASE

Women Will Fight Charges Preferred By Dr. E. W. Ostrowski. IN LANTRY'S COURT TODAY Annonymons Letters May Figure in Suit Startling Testimony ' - Is Expected. There seems to be an entirely new version to the alleged menacing of Dr. E. W. Ostrowski by a coterie of women living in South Chicago, for whom he had warrants sworn out on charges of disorderly conduct in his offices, 8820 Commercial avenue, Sept. 10. It appears that L. Rydezewska, the woman in the case, has been in the employ of Dr. Ostrowski for the past nine years, or ever since she came from Europe, and at that time she was 15 x years old. Besides being his house keeper, she also conducted a dressmaking parlor, .so she asserted, and now has a civil suit pending to re cover money which she claims was loaned to him and for wages due her. Cause of Trouble. The cause of the present trouble, it is said, was due to the . attempt, of friends and relatives of Hiss Rydzewska to induce her to cease her rela tionship with the doctor, and in view of this undertaking the latter is said to have written slanderous communi cations to a number of the women of the neighborhood, 4 Among those who received letters were: Mrs. ObarskI, 8811 Commercial avenue; Mrs. Follmer, 8816 Commercial avenue, and Miss Rydzewska, ' 8907 Commercial avenue. In every Instance the communications were unsigned, but the recipients expressed themselves that the epistles coincided with his numerous verbal utterances. The trial of the women, who were arrested on a disorderly . charge,." will come up for hearing today before Judge Lantry of the .South Chicago police court, -and the defendants claim that some startling, testimony will lead to further prosecution of the case. Attorney Peden, 284 Ninety-first street, is representing the defendants. Female Superiority. It lan't that women are more sympathetic than men, but that their eyes are keener, their voices sweeter and their hands softer. r

FARMERS CRY FOR.RAIN CONDITIONS IN LAKE COUNTY REVEAL, THAT - OUTLOOK FOR CORN IS .VERY.QLOOMY

Twenty-four hours of a steady down-, . -. . . T 1 . pour- of rain is neeaea 10 pm iane county into a normal condition again. This only for the comfort of the people. As far as the crops, especially the corn, are concerned, they have suffered irreparable loss and parching fields are now lying idle awaiting the plow to beput in shape for the fall plowing and sowing. Every week is a loss and a handicap for the farmer's work next spring, the dry weather delaying not only his plowing, but also the fall work of tiling, ditching and building fences. Milk has fallen off both in quantity and quality, until the stringency is felt in the -cities, where an lncreas in prices are threatened. The reports that are coming In from the va-rious elevators over the country are gloomy: C. ' E. ZVIehoIaa, I,ott-11 Elevator A rain at this time would not be of any " benefit to the fall crops. The corn crop is not half what it should be, and farmers are compelled to feed tntlr cattle. The surrounding country does not ever produce butter enough to supply the town, and much of it is being sent In from Illinois towns. Emil Schrofder, Crown Point Elevator. Corn is selling here at 85 cents a bushel and 'even at tha. price little is coming. I venture to say that the crop has been little over one-third what it should have been. The farmers are practically hauling no grain and are compelled to feed their mile hcows. Taking it all in all, this. has not been a very good year. Josrph Gerlarh. St. John Elevator.Work in the fields here is practically at a standstill. Owing to the drouth the farmers can neiher plow nor tile their fields as they would like to do. None of the corn crops have come up to expectation, much of it havlrig been parched in the milk. There ia nothing in the fields anymore to be saved, and a good rain would only relieve the hu midity from which everybody is suffer ing ajid loosen the ground so the farm ers can do their fall plowing. Worse Than 1907. The 1908 drought, however, is riot so serious, according to statistics, ..as some of its- predecessors have been', that of 1907, for example, when July, August and September each haa aoout an ?nch of rain. And there are no indications of conditions becoming better. The whole country is suffering in the same manner as Indiana'.'.' .Rain has .'been 'falling 'and storms have raged along the gulf coast, and - there has been -a little "rain, in the Dakotas, but elsewhere, none. ' Many" 'days during the last several weeks there have been what seemed to be threats of rain, but were not. Daysvhave'been slightly cloudy and that air has had hat feeling of impending rain that most people accept as a. sure sign of its coming. The explanation given for this is that the clouds are clouds of smoke from the northwest, where forest fires are raging and have been ra'ging for weeks. Minnesota y b
