Mother Tells Investigators That Boy 8 Years Old, Suffered Injury to Skull When 18 Months Old.

A consultation of physicians was held In Gary yesterday afternoon over what is considered one of the most peculiar monstrosities ever developed in the region. The boy, who is foreign parentage and is about 8 years of age, resembles more than anything else in actions and in looks a gorilla. His voice -is as low as. an ordinary man"s, but has never spoken a word in his life. Instead of speaking as the ordinary human being he growls like an animal. The child has never fed itself in its

life, and whenever the mother is away for any purpose the child is chained to the floor to prevent his killing himself or either of the two other children. Yesterday morning the baby crawled over to the human gorilla, and while the mother was gone It whipped the baby almost Into unconsciousness. The child is now getting big and strong physically, so that the mother who has kept the child in the house since its birth will be forced to have it sent to some public institution. The iy yesterday while his hands were free started to pound his ear, and before he was noticed had the left ear almost raw. The conference of the physicians was held to see whether or not the child could be relieved by an operation. The mother told them that the child's skull had been severely injured by a fall when it was only 18 months old. The parents of the child are Mr. and- Mrs. Peter Purpich.

(Special to Thb Times.) East Chicago, Ind., Oct. 9. The East Chicago school board, frightened by the alarming report of Water Chemist Brewster on water conditions in East Chicago and the Harbor, have decided to install Mason's Tripoli Rock filters in the McKinley school building in this city. It is also proposed to install

the filters within a 6hort time in the other school buildings. The filters are

manufactured in Hammond by George A. A. Mason, who has been very successful in their sale, guaranteeing them

as a perfect typhoid preventive as far

as water conditions are concerned.

Mr. Mason s representative who yes

terday installed the McKinley school

filters, declares that the firm has orders from several schools and large

factories in this vicinity, and expect to do a thriving business before the first

of the year. "

The visit of Mr. Samuel Gompers to Gary is being arranged for by the American Federation of Labor. He is

to arrive In Gary Oct. 16 and will get j into the city on the Lake Shore train j at 11 o'clock. j The Federation of Labor, is planning i to build a platform for the speaker I near the Lake Shore dep'ot where he! tan talk to the assembled crowds. Mr. j Gompers is making all of his own ar- j rangements and will simply refy on j

the democrats in Gary to get out the crowd. Don't Think He Should Dictate. As the speech is to be at 11 o'clock it is not believed that many of the

I Gary workingmen will be able to hear i i the speech. Many workingmen are!

j not particularly interested in Mr. Gom-

pers anyway since he has come out in i favor of the Bryan ticket, and many of l them believe, with other officers of the great federation, that Gompers has no I

more right to dictate the way thej shall vote than any one else. ' Mr. Gompers will not allow the democrats in Gary to do more than get out the crowd for the reason that he wants to work his old game of making the people believe that he is really a republican gone wrong because the republicans did not do all he wanted

But the people of Gary have been prepared for that statement for they were shown by Congressman E. D. Crumpacker in a speech that Mr. Gompers at Lafayette said positively that he was not a republican. There is an honest difference of opinion among workingmen as to the ad

visability of Mr. Gompers going over the country spending the money of the federation in advancing Bryan's campaign.

There were two fire scares in Gary last evening. Fire started in the basement of the Miller building near Sixth avenue in Gary early this morning. It was caused by the neglect of some one. in placing some empty dry goods boxes too near a ,hot furnace. The fire was discovered and extinguished before it did very much damage. Fire also started in the real estate office of G. V. Bacon on Broadway at the corner of Twenty-fifth street. A woman in the neighborhood discovered the fire and put it out.

THE CREAM OF THE Morning News

Special to The Times

East Chicago. Ind., Oct. 10. Day

light burglars made a visit to several

East Chicago houses early this morn

ing, securing a small Dooiy to reward them for their persistence. The home of William Cadman, 1106 Beacon street, was the first entered by the unknown visitor, and the attempt to remove the

valuables from the home was evidently made about 4 o'clock. The burglar, or burglars, failed to find anything but a purse containing $5 in -cash and several unimportant papers and letters. They were evidently frightened away from the house by the approach of a police officer who made his rounds about that time and lay in hiding for at least half an hour before going to the home of William Hartman .at 1110 Beacon street. Lock In Window Pricked. HarrYnan is Mr. Caiman's next door neighbor, and here entrance was ef

fected by pickir.g the lock on a kitch- j en window. Stealthily creeping- to the sleeping rooms on the upper floor, the daybreak visitor succeeded in making away with $6 in cash, a Hahan, gold case, open-faced watch, belinging to

Mr. Cadman, as well as an excellent suit of clothes. Mr. Hartman awoke and saw the prowler leaving the house through his bed-room door, and immediately gave chase. He was unable to catch a glimpse of his face, however, and the man was soon lost to view in the darkness. The police are working energetically on the case and Chief Higgins declares that he has adduced evidence which leads him to believe that the work Is that of local "talent." "I am almost p'ossitive that I can land the offender within twelve hours." he said to a'TiMES reporter this morning, "and by so doing, will probably reach one of the gang of crooks who have been committing burglaries in this city and Indiana Harbor for the past two months."

GUM PLAY IS A NECESSITY

Bold Work In Saloon 'Nets One Silver Dollar for HoldUp lian. Three Gary citizen were the victims of a tall and a abort liold-np man laKt evenings Fortunately the haul of the ntick-npM wan very aniall and they ore nupponed to have left Gary last evening with more than enough money for ear fare.

The two men were going along together when they were suddenly confronted with to men ho fired to shots in the air before commanding'them to hold up their hands. It appeared later that the two men saw some strangers coming towards the spot where the hold-up was being attempted and fired the shots to frighten them away.

Instead of being frightened the men came on towards the highway robbers and they became frightened and ran away without making an attempt to search their victims. A little later in the evening while George Quail was in the saloon of

Louis Baxter at the corner of Fourteenth avenue and Madison street, two men entered and pulling a revolver, pointed it at Quail ajid ordered him to give them a dollar. Why they did not take all he had and why they did not also rob the saloon of all of the money in the cashregister is not known. The men are described as follows. One is five eleven Inches tall and weights in the

neighborhood of 150 pounds. They both had blue masks over their faces to prevent identification. The matter was reported to the police and they are investigating the matter.

Chief of Police Martin of Gary claims that he was ofCered a bribe in a most peculiar manner. He received a telephone message from a stranger who sajd that he wanted to see the chief at a designated corner in the south side of the city.

EXIEND WATER SYSTEM

Gary City Supply Pushed Beyond Wabash Tracks i Today. The construction of the water system is rapidly advancing in Gary, and it has now reached a stage where it will be pushed across the Wabash tracks today and the people in that section of the city will be supplied with water service in a few days. The water company has been waiting for the sewer contractors to break down the embankment of the Gary and Western, so that they could put through their water pipes at the same time.

They have now accomplished this and are prepared to push the water serv

ice as far south as Thirteenth street as soon as possible. This will make impossible for the fire department to have a greater latitude in the district in which they can fight fire with hose. Now the property owners of Thirteenth street will have just as much protection as the property owners in the first sub-division. William Luscombe, superintendent of the water department, states that the two divisions of the tunnel on land, one working from the lake and the other towards it will meet' half way
