ANIMALS ARE 1ID 10 DEATH Fire of Unknown Origin Does Big Damage in Gary This Morning. . MMTTSHCIlifERflT Fire Protection Is Badly Needed in Steel City to Frequency of Blazes. Two horses and two valuable mules, which are worth an aggregate of S650, the property of Patrick O'Brien, an excavator, were burned to death, in . a fire which destroyed a barn belonging to Smith and Winters, and was located between Sixth and Seventh street on Washington street in Gary, this morning. The fire is of unknown origin, but a peculiar fact which may have a bearing on the matter, is that O'Brien was warned on several occasions that lie had better take his horses out of the barn if he did not want to lose them. This leads the police to believe that the fire was of incendiary origin. The j barn was worth in the neighborhood of $500, and the loss includes two buggies, a wagon, some harness and feed. v.-hich were worth $500. The horses were insured with Oliver Holmes.' Cbrmlcal Outfit I'aeleaa. " The fire department was called out, but the fire had gained such headway that it was useless to try to use" the chemical outfit for any other purpose than attempting to save the surrounding property. - The fire was ' discovered by Thomas K. Knotts, who turned in the alarm. The fire started at about. 4 o'clock in the morning and burned until daylight. When the fire was' discovered it was . too late to attempt to get the horses and mules out. and the'animals were compelled' to tug at their halters until the smoke finally rendered them unconscious and they.; were burned in the. fire. ' . Fires in Gary are becoming-so frequent that the matter of fire protection is a serious one. 1 The-Gary Commercial club will take, up this matter nt its meeting today and will see. if some better- means of fire protection cannot be devised. i LAUIC1JGS 111 19Q3 For the first time in the history of the Chicago Shipbuilding company's plant. One Hundred and First street ana Avenue r. East Side, not a single hoat was launcned during the year 190S, and the prospects for the remaining period are that none 'will be.' Last year and years preceeding ' it was no uncommon thing to witness the launching of boats on an average of one a month, and East Siders, including others throughout the Calumet district, looked forward to this attractive feature. Prospects for future orders at the plant are encouraging, and while many believe that a comparatively large force will be put to work the beginning ..of the New Year others deprecate the idea. At any rate, the East Side laboring clement is holding its own as a large following is employed in Indiana Harbor, East Chicago and Gary, many of whom own their own homes on the East Side.

H Atty. Wm. Duff Haynie Asks For Conference,With City Officials. GOOHGICWPdlNTS COMMITTEE People Rejoice Over the Prospect to Get a Fine Bank Site Free. Special to The Times Kast Chicago, Ind., Oct. 7. East Chi cago is about to be given riparian rights extending 25 feet into Lake Michigan for a distance of about 700 feet in front of the city park property known as block "B" of Indiana Har bor's subdivision of East Chicago. In a letter to Alderman Lewis, received yestreday from Attorney William Duff Haynie of the law firm of Knapp, Haynie & Campbell, Mr. Haynie says: "Since- you spoke to me about procuring the riparian rights in front of the park, I have had the " matter up with our people many times, and am pleased to say that conditions are now such that I believe if we could get together and talk the matter over, we can reach a satisfactory conclusion In regard to it." The council has already appointed a committee to Investigate the reparian rights question and they are in Chi cago today, conferring With the attor neys of the Indiana Steel company, the owner of the proserty. The addition of the riparian rights to the city's holdings will be a de sirable acquisition,' as East Chicago has heretofore held the unusual position of being one of the rare lake front cities without any possessions extending be yond the established beach line. SPRIHKLEvOHGE-A WEEK Gary Town Board Receives Bids for Contract Other Business. The regular meeting of the town board was held this afternoon,' and was one of the shortest in the history of Gary. There are but few meetings in Gary in which some matter of vital importance to the city, is not under consideration, but today was an off day, and there was little to do ex cept transact the routine business, tel a few stories and adjourn. - After the report of the town treasur er was heard for the previous month the bills were taken up. The bills were then allowed and an appropriation passed for the sum of $3,042 for warrants which had been issued and had become due. The matter of street sprinkling also came up for discussion and bids were received for the same. The bid calls for the watering of Broadway from the Lake Shore station to the Michigan Central tracks every day, and on Broadway from the Michigan Central tracks south to the Pennsylvania once a week. Several other paved streets in the city will also be watered once a week.

Iowa Congressman Speaks At -Gary Last Night and Shows How Republican Party Is the One For Gary To Adopt.

FLAYS BRYAN BANK DEPOSIT PLAN Speaker Shows Up the Inconsistency of Democratic Demands as Shown By Their Work in" the House of Representatives as to Bank Guaranty. ; Congressman Walter "I. Smith made a' big hft at' the republican meeting which was held in the Blnienhof hall in Gary yesterday evening. In the course of his remarks Congressman Smith told how the democratic party has had the faculty of coming around and endorsing the republican policies four years after they had been adopted by that party. He aaid the democratic party was like the lightning Bug: , "The lightning bug is a brilliant thing; ( It hasn't any mind; ! It wanders through this world of ours, With its headlight on behind." Mr. Smith spoke to a good-siied crowd, considering the fact that the meeting had not been advertised extensively. There were in the neighborhood of 500 people in the hall when Judge Virgil S. Reiter introduce" ne speaker. The Iowan was in, Tappy frame of mind, kept his aur;'ierice jn good humor during ,ith.a.roie evening. Speaking of ,JJ.5 tariff policy of the republican Prty. he said that he admired the pariotism of a German, who -'said: 'Ger many shall make goods for everybody but nobody shall make goods for the Germans." He Impressed his hearers with the fact that the protective policy is especially important to the people of Gary, where the steel industry is to be protected. Speaking about the recent financial troubles, he said that panics, all of them, were due to the American tendency to speculate. He spoke of the panics of '37, '57, '73, '93 and '08. He showed conclusively that panics will come, no matter what administration is in power, but the difference is that republican panics are never as prolonged and never cause as much suffer ing as those in democratic administrations, for the reason that the republican party has never adopted any ruin ous policies to destroy confidence. As an example of the destructive democratic panics which were not ended un til the republicans got back In power, he pointed to the one in '73 and the one in '08. He said that the people grew rest less and wanted a democratic admin istration and so they elected Cleve land. He said that before they got through with him they were a "weary, chastened, repentant" people. Mr. Smith showed up the false posi tion of the democratic party on the guarantee of national bank deposits better than any speaker that has vis ited this region. He said that during the last congress the republicans introduced a currency bill which was to correct certain de fects in our currency system and make it more elastic. John Sharp Williams, representing the democratic minority in the house, prepared a bill with the advice of the leading democrats of the country and William Jennings Bryan himself. The democratic measure contained the very provisions for the guarantee of national bank deposits which they now have incorporated in their plat form. But when the republicans gave them a chance to substitute their bill for the one which the republicans had prepared, six democrats voted to sub stitute, twenty-nirie voted against the Williams-Bryan measure, and ninety two voted present."- Which meant that they did not have an opinion in the matter. Two of these democrats came from Indiana. Mr. Smith then flayed a party which had ninety-two members In the house which did not have an opinion on as important a measure as the one which had bee nrecommended by Wil Hams and Bryan. Ninety-two demo crats in congress who simply voted PRESENT. Such men will be absent in the next session of the legislature i the people know what they are about. He said the democrats in the last ses sion of congress wanted a campaign publicity bill, but when it was proposed to attach a rider bill to it, depriving the southern democrats of fifty seat In the house, which represented dis franchised negroes, they 4" refused to vote for it. Mr. Smith said the . democratic inclination to try everything n the way of an issue -that might elect William Jennings Bryan to the presidency, was like the young man who spent the whole of his grandfather's estate trying to discover some brand of whisky that would taste as good coming, up as it did in going down.

AH ATfEMPED- MURDER Too Much Whisky Stirs Passion of Foreigner in Gary. What is believed to be an atetmpted murder stirred the residents of the foreign district yesterday afternoon when several shots rang out in rapid succession. M. M. Duchich, a groceryman living at Fifth avenue and Virginia street, which was in the vicinity of the place, heard the shots and at once reported the matter to the station. Officers Neuman and Miller responded at once and arrived at one of the houses where it was supposed to have taken place within a few minutes. The officers were seen, however, before the man was seen by them so he made good his escape through one of the rear windows before they could surround the house. So far as the police have been able to learn the shooting was the result of a drunken row, and that the man was attempting to kill the woman. Neither the name of the woman or the man involved in the case was learned by the police. PARALYSIS KILL CHILO Funeral of Little Gary Boy Took Place This This Afternoon.
