Special to The Times East Chicago, Ind., Oct. 21. One of
the most remarkable confessions ever obtained by the local police department
was taken yesterday in the office of
Chief of Police Higgins, with Joe Her-
rott of Railway avenue, as the guilty
party. The confession is but a single
chapter in the strange tale of a life
of crime lived by the little twelve-year-old lad for the past four or five years.
Herrott lives with his parents on Railroad avenue, and everyone in the locality speaks very highly of the Herrott family. It is agreed by all, however, that the lad now under arrest is the "b'ack sheep" and that his actions have long been a disgrace to the family. On Monday evening. Joe stole a bicycle from in front of the Clinton hardware store on Oleott. avenue. ' The machine was traced to his possession, and an officer sent to the "Wallace school .at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon to arrest the lad. Protests Hin Innocence. When taken to the police station,, he declared that he was innocent, but
finally broke down and recited the events in his career of crime. During the past four years he has sto'en various sums of money ranging from five cents to $4-25, four pigeons, five bicycles, knives, wheels and several
other unimportant details. The bicycles have been returned in some cases.
he said, while in others, he has traded
the machines for small articles of intrinsic value. The Herrott lad has also implfcated another foreign boy living near his home on Railroad avenue, as an accomplice, and the police believe that they have found the persons who have caused considerable trouble during the past two years by the theft of bicycles from the main streets of
the city. An effort will be made to trace all the stolen property to its present location and effect its restora
tion to the original owners.

Gary's first public library will open up Monday in the room which has been provided for that purpose in the Kahan
block at Seventh avenue and 'Wash
lngton street. rne library win be in charge of Mr. L. T. Bailey, who has been working in Gary for the past
month arranging for the opening of ! the headquarters. The news of the opening will be received in Gary with great enthusiasm, as it will mean the beginning of what the library board expects to make eventually the finest In Indiana. Mr. Bailey had Intended to open the headquarters nearly two weeks ago, but says that the delay was caused by the failure of the furniture companies to deliver the order. They have already been delayed over two weeks after delivery was pr&mised. The tables have now arrived, however, and the electric light fixtures will be put in this week. There Is nothing that can happen now to delay the opening of the library later than the first of next
week, except the non-arrival of the chairs. These they have been prom
ised definitely not later than the middle of the week. The magazines with which the li
brary will be stocked at the present time have already arrived, ready for use. The list of books, which will be ordered for this year, has been made out and the order will be sent in, it is
expected within the next week. For the present, however, only the magazines will be used and they will be at
the disposal of the public.
East Chicago, Ind.. Oct. 2,1. (Special)
Tony Horovek of Indiana Harbor,
will wed his fiance in Hammond on Friday, fulfilling all plans as though
the marital bond had not bee threat'
ened by Teressa Vjalizi, as stated in last evening's issue of The Times. The
story of the threatened disruption of
the nuptials Is interesting, and con
tains the charges by Teressa that Tony
is the father of the child of which she
Ie about to become a mother. By the bringing of this charge, she expected to
compell Tony to wed her and not the
Whiting, but in this calculation she
erred.
Tony, instead, proved himself a trifle
too slippery for her, showed her where
her actions in the past have been any thing but proper, and finally conv
mitted one of the worst crimes against
society he bought his freedom.
Teressa received the meagre sum of
$50, on the. sole condition that she
would "keep still." The agreement was
received after a consultation of the
attorneys of the Interested parties and
its validity deeply investigated by
Judge w. A. Relland. The woman
seemed perfectly satisfied to let the matter drop upon payment ot the
money. To the still wondering court officials, the entire transaction looked
lik.e a splendid example of high finance
and highway robbery upon the pocket-
book of the amorous Horovek.

against his wife, Kdith. in which Commodore George R. Peare is named, will be
thrashed out in the Cook county circuit court, where it was filed on Monday. Mr. Reed yesterday before departing for a brief rest, said he had declined to consider the proposition of his wife for a South Dakota divorce. That means that his wife and Mr. Poare will have to make the best defense possible to the charges
he brings against them.
Betting on the elections in all the large cities of the country places Taft as the favorite at adds of from 2 to 1 to. 6 to 1. The gambling this year will be lighter than on the previous presidential contests. The wagers are infrequent, according to reports from all over the country, and no bets of large amounts are reported In any place. The
I largest offer yet reported Is from San
Francisco, where one man has offered $20,000 at 10 to 4 that Taft will be
.the winner..
Almost as much Interest Is taken by the gamblers in the New Tork gubernatorial contest is In the national fight.; In these bett the favorite is Lieutenant Governor Chandler. . The quotations at Buffalo are 10 to 9 that Hughes will be beaten and the same San Francisco man who offers $20,000
on Taft has put up $5,000 that Hughes will be defeated. Curiously enough, some of the greatest odds on Taft are offered by men in the "solid south" and in the doubtful states. One New Orleans man offers a flat 3 tq 1 that the , republican candidate will win. Another offer of the same odds is made in Baltimore. Odds of 2 to 1 are offered that Maryland will go for Taft rn Baltimore.
Detroit democratic believers are given a chance at the choicest odds
of anywhere yet reported. There the quotations on Taft are 6 to 1. Phila
delphia is giving the smallest margins, The bets there are even or 5 to 4
The remainder of the cities report quo
tations of 2 and sometimes 3 to 1.
New York, usually the center of this
sort of pre-election activity, apparently
is taking little interest in the presi
dential outcome, but many bets are being made on the state fight. What few bets have been made are at small
odds on Taft.

Gary People Remembered
By Friends in South Bend.
East Chicago, Ind., Oct. 20. John
Rogers, ex-cmef of police, was yesterday arraigned before Mayor DeBriae upon a charge of committing an
assault and battery upon John Thomp
son of the East Chicago police force.
Charges of intoxication have also been
preferred against him. Rogers, how
ever, demanded a continuance until
Saturday and was released on bail in
the sum of $100.
Chief of Police Higgins declared that
he will punish the former city official
to the extent of the law. "The attack
was most brutal," says the chief, "and I want the public to know that I will
not allow anyone to commit an assault upon one of the city officers while under my jurisdiction, and remain unpunished. If it is necessary we will
put John Rogers behind the bars and show the people of East Chicago that we are not afraid of him."
There was considerable talk about
town last night of again banishing
the offender from the city. Nine years
ago Rogers was implicated in a shoot
ing scrape, in which a man was al
most fatally injured. At that time he ws tried before Judge McMahon at Hammond, who told him to "get out
of the state and keep out." Rogers, after obeying the decision for three
years, returned to purchase property.
and was given an' opportunity to be
come a man. For six years he did not indulge in intoxicating liquors, and
it was during this time that he served as chief of the police department.

steamship agent, has been assigned a
very unusual task by the German Lloyd line.

people from the surrounding towns are
expected to be present. A special pro
gram of speeches and music will be given and refreshments will be served.

(Special to The Times.) East Chicago, Ind., Oct. 21. Bang!
Bang: Bang! Bang! All followed by a
scurrying of feet and the rapid appearance of a police officer at the N.
Morrelli saloon on Forsyth avenue yes
terday afternoon, caused the arrest of
Tony Dabos of Whiting, a foreigner. Dabos was badly intoxicated and had attempted to have a little innocent fun by shooting an expensive gum machine
full of holes. According to the story told to the police by Mr. Morrelli, the Whiting man appeared at the bar about 4:30 o'clock. He asked for two nickels at the same time handing the bartender a time. The two nickels were placed in the gum machine, but it was empty
and failed to pay the desired package of "chewing gum." This enraged the "Whiting foreigner, and his hand instinctively went to his hip pocket. The
gun was not slow in coming out, and while everyone ducked their heads into the most convenient place of safety Dabos continued filling the machine full
of holes, breaking the expensive plate glass mirror in the disk of the apparatus and creating havoc generally. He was booked at the police station on a charge of carrying a concealed wepon. and will be tried before Mayor DeBriae this afternoon.
At the next meeting of the Gary
Medical association, which will take Place at the Gary hotel, on Tuesday
afternoon at 4 o'clock, Nov. 3, the mem
bers have arranged to take up the
study of typhoid fever. It is a well known fact . that the ravages of typhoid fever have caused many deaths in the Calumet region in the past two years and physicions have organized in order to study the conditions and get in closer touch with the causes. Whether it is from the drink-
Ink water, impure milk or other causes cannot fully be determined but an effort will be made by the physicians in the northern part of the county to devise means to stamp out if possible the dreaded disease. There have been during the past
two months fewer cases of typhoid fever in Gary than in any period since the foundation of the city. This is thought to be due in a large measure to Gary's sewer system and the prompt work on the part of the physicians in reporting the cases and preventing its spread. It is this time of the year that typhoid makes its appearance, said a local
physician this morning. Last year at this time there were many cases of
typhoid in Gary. Every thing will be done to prevent its spread.
The following is the program that
will be given at the next meeting or the local medical association:
Diagnosis Dr. F. .W. Smith. Medical treatment Dr. C. A. DeDong. Surgical treatment Dr. H. M. Hosmer. Prophylixis or preventative Dr. T. B. Templin. Following the meeting on Nov. 3, the association will take up the subject of "Tubercolosis" and will invite a number of experts from the State Medical association to be present at the meeting. W. A. Evans, Chicago's noted health expert, will also be invited to attend.-
