RESUME OF THE WORK DONE
List of Buildings Now Under Course of Construction Show Great Activity.
Gary today la the busiest place in the faited. t Sates, for its sise, as far as the building lines are concerned. o natter which way the eye tarns it
rents anon a substantial structure
which may be in any stage of erection
The bnllditMf weather has been Ideal and the contractors are hoping that it
will continue for an indefinite time
longer.
The delay of material has caused delays on some of the buildings, but there Is little of this trouble now. Every
day one or more of the dwelling houses are comDleted.' but there are still a
large number under construction. An
other mon. however, promises to see
the completion of all the dwelling
houses. The Broadway Hotel.
The Broadway hotel, at the corner of
fifth avenue. Is being lathed and plasffvtj at the present time, the structural
,I:-on "ork having been completed some
time ago.
The Broadway hotel is a substantial lrick stucture and is In conformity with the Important site that it occu
pies.
The city pumping station, for which
Schmidt brothers, ha'e the contract. Is
awaiting the structural iron. They
have been making good progress on the building, and as soon as the material arrives work promises to go iihead without any further interrup
tion.
A substantial addition is under way
for the Kirk hotel, near the Erie yards
The original building has been found to be much too small and is inadequate to accommodate all the railway
: vii that would like to put up in the 1 pular place. N The extension of the
1 .-wilding began last Monday and If the
v.-eat her holds for any length of time
it is hoped that the building will be
completed for winter quarters. Armour Cold Storage Plant. The Armour cold storage plant, lo
rated at Broadway and the Wabash tracks, is in the hands of the finishers. They have a very good location and the building is large enough to supply th needs of the city for a long time. Lathers are at work In the Knotts building. On Broadway and Seventh avenue. This, too, is a large brick structure, presenting an elegant front and furnishing room for any concern that will occupy it. A block south of the Knotts building is the Duchlch building. It Is a handsome brick structure and will furnish good store room. "Work on the Burge and Warner building has been temporarily delayed, but additional building material having arrived, work has again been taken up. The contract will soon be let for the mason work on the John O. Bowers building, on Broadway and Sixth avenue. Smith Brothers have the contract for putting in the foundation, but their work has progressed so far that the brick laying can begin. Adjoining the Bowers building is the Mast building. A concrete foundation is now being laid for a three-story structure. The contract for the structural and mason work has not yet been let. The Moody building, on Broadway, will soon be finished, as the lathers and plasterers are now at work on it.
BUSINESS MEN DECORATE
Preparations Being Made to Hold
Large Overflow Meeting.
WAS A MEMBER K. O.T.H.
Mrs. Michael Harr, His Daughter, Leaves for the West to Attend the Funeral.
Another meeting of the general ar
rangements committee of the repub
lican club for the Taft rally was held
last night, and many details which ; were as yet uncompleted were taken in hand. It was decided to purchase more banners, flags and bunting, and to increase the number of the recep
tion committee by at least fifty. All of the members of this committee will then be given a place on the platform wth the speaker. The reception committee will then include about seventy-five of the most prominent party leaders In the city. This is considered an adequate number for so momentous an occasion, and its personel insures its doing credit to the city. Up until noon, the list had not been completed of the new appointments. Work on the decoration of the hall will start early Saturday morning, as the skating rink will have to be used Friday night for that purpose. Overflow Meetings Will Be Held. The seats have all been arranged for however, and it is not likely that there will be any serious difficulty in getting the hall prepared. It now seems likely that the big tent cannot be secured and that the rally will have to be held in the skating rink, with the Binzenhof hall to serve the purpose In an overflow meeting. These two places should hold over three thousand people. The remainder of necessary will be addressed in the open air so there is no question but what all will have a chance to hear the speakers. In regard to decorations in the city the business men will be requested to decorate their places of business In honor of the presence of William Howard Taft, regardless of their party affiliations. Every merchant of Broad
way should make a strenuous effort to dress the city in its most elaborate
attire for the coming of Judge Taft. A number of merchants of both parties
have already expressed their willing
ness to fix up their places for the oc
casion.

(Special to Thb Times). Whiting, Ind., Oct. 23. The sad news of the death of Maurice Hartnett
was conveyed to the local friends and relatives of the deceased by a tele
gram received yesterday by his son-in-
law, Mike Harr. . .
Mr. Hartne-et passed away . at his
home at Point Richmond. Cal., on Wednesday night, October 21, the direct
cause or his death being cancer.
Ernest watchers at his bedside since j
the fatal attack have done all that
human skill could suggest, but the
end came quietly, as though he had dropped into a peaceful slumber. With
him at the last were all his children, with the exception of Mrs. Mike Harr of this city. Mrs. Harr left for Point Richmond last Saturday morning but owing to delay in traveling did not
reach her destination in time.
Lived in Whiting; Ten Years. The Hartnetts were popular residents
of this city from March, 1S92, when they moved here from Olean, N. Y., until about 1902, when Mr. Hartnett, who was a trusted employe of the Standard Oil company at the local plant, was
sent to Point Richmond to their new refinery which was being built about that time. Since . then the various members of the family have paid such frequent visits to this city, keeping in such close touch with Whiting people,
that it now seems as if it were one
of our own citizens who had answered
the last call.
Maurice Hartnett, who was beloved
and respected for the principles of honesty, uprightness and loftiness of purpose which he believed in and prac
ticed, was 66 years of age. He is a member of the Wfiltlng Tent, No. 64, K. O. T. M., which order feels keenly
the loss of so valued a member, and
several of his brother members have dispatched telegrams of sympathy to
grief-stricken children.
Burial in California.
It was at first thought the -remains
would be brought to Whiting and interred in the Hammond cemetery be
side those of his daughter, Mrs
Charles Shorts, who died Just two years
ago this month, but this plan was al
tered and the Interment will now be in a California cemetery. The date of
the funeral will not be decided upon
until the arrival of Mrs. Harr and son, Hartnett.
Mr. Hartnett is survived by six chil
dren. They areMrs. Mike Harr of Whiting; Mrs. James Knight and Mrs. Jane Hartnett of Point Richmond, and
three sons, Messrs. John, James and Lawrance Hartnett, also of Point Richmond.
