IS HOW BUYING UP

ITS RIGHT OF WAY

Unlimited Capital Said To Be Behind Froject Son of Senator John P. Hopkins, of Chicago, is Interested Promise Operation Some Time Next Summer.

ArtiTes of incorporation of the new electric lin which is to be built from Valparaiso to Gary, via Hobart, will be flle3 with the secretary of state today. This is the statement made by F.

Keator of Aurora, 111., one of the promoters of the new road, who was in Gary yesterday and who was present at the meeting of the town board, in hopes of securing an entrance for his lin into town. This the board refused to grant until the company was incorporated under the laws of the etate. Mr. Keater, in talking to a Times reporter last night, said that articles of incorporation w.ould be filed today at Indianapolis. "We have no limit of money to back tht; building of the road," said Mr. Keator last night. "The finances of the road are being furnished by United States Senator Hopkins son, of Illinois, J. S. Kopkins, and friends of his In Chicago. Burins Right of Way. The right of way from Valparaiso to Hobart has already been purchased

osrpnts of the road are now at

work securing the right of way towards Gary."

The only thing that has delayed the

w-rk at all is that the promoters did

not feel inclined to further the pro

ject until they were satisfied they cculd get an entrance into Gary. The

members of the town board assured

Mr. Keator yesterday that just as soon

asi the company was incorporated franchise would be granted to them.

"We want your line to come to

Gary." said President Knotts of the board, "and just as soon as we see the

deposition on the part of your offi

clals to incorporate we will grant you a proper franchise. At this time ve

do not feel inclined to grant any company a franchise to build a line into Gary without it is incorporated and

siow that it is responsible." To Be Completed Next June.

Mr. Keator said that the promoters were exceedingly anxious to start the . construction work on the road this fall and intend to begin grading, on

the Valparaiso end of the line at once.

If the Gary franchise can be secured the company intends to have the line

in operation by Decoration day nex ' year. That is the reason the com

riany is so anxious to start work on

the line this fall.

The line will be built on private light of way between Valparaiso and

Hobart.

Green and Sons, the contractors, who

are now engaged in the construction

of the great sewer known as district

sewer No. 1, announced yesterday that they expected to have the work completed in three weeks, at the latest.

This will mean the completion of the

greatest work of its kind in the state, costing the city over 25 per foot and a total of over $200,000. The district sewer runs from the Grand Calumet river south to Thirteenth street, then west to the alley between Washington street and Broadway. t, then turns south arid runs as far as Twenty-seoiid street ' Mr. Green ' said yesteraay that "they were

as far as Eighteenth street at that time and were moving' along as rapidly as they did not have the water to con-1 tend with that they, did when they first started out in the first subdivision. They are now capable of averaging 100 feet per day of construction.

Best Sewer SyMem In State. When the big district sewer-is completed, together with the numerous local sewers, which will soon be constructed or . are being built at the. present time, Gary will have the finest sewer system in the state. Judging from the announcement of James Green, the- senior member of the firm of Green and Son, this is soon-to be realized. .The. .first local "sewer to be completed is local No. 1, which was 'also built by Green and Son. - This is located between Ninth and Tenth avenues, iri; the alley between . Broadway and Washington street.; The city engineer reported yesterday that the work had been satisfactorily done and that it was carrying sewerage at the present time. The sewer will be accepted by the town board at its - next ! meeting.

Another .window smashing episode

occured in Gary early, this morning

when an unknown man wrapped a pair

of overalls around a brick and threw

it through a plate glass window. In the Boston store on Broadway, between the Michigan Central tracks and Tenth avenue.

Officer Nestorovich went past .- the Boston store just before 2:30 and at that time everything was all right. He returned on his beat a few minutes later and found the window broken

and the brick wrapped in the overalls

in the window. -

There had been on display a number

of hats with one dollar bills in them

ana there were also four gold watches in the window. The thieves placed the cloth around the brick so that the noise would not be so great and managed to

get away with six of the bills and all

of the watches.

The police are working on . the. case

and believe they have a good clue as

to the identity of the window smash

ers. The window itself is worth more than the loot taken by the' thieves This is he third case of the kind that

has occured in Gary.

Easily Inhaled, even when the breathing is irregular, it reaches more promptly than any other remedy the terribly inflamed membrane of the windpipe. Its soothing balsams act immediately, the incarnation is allayed, and the swelling reduced. - "Not long ago our little boy, Walter,

awoke in the night with a bad attack of croup. We allowed him to inhale Hyomei; he began to breathe easier, and in half an hour was fast asleep. I am 'glad to speak a good word for a remedy that will rob croup of its terrors." Rev. Geo. Sisson, pastor of M. E. church, South Londonderry, Vt.

.Last Moments of Great Musician.; A letter written by Count Grzymala, who was an ardent admirer of Chopin, has been made public in London byvEduard Zeldenrust. In it tha last moments of Chopin are thus referred to: "A few hours before ha

died he aslted Mme. Potocka to aing some melodies ' by EossinI and Bellini, and this she did with sobs , in her voice. Listening to her voice . ha passed away." Speaking of ( the funeral the writer says: "Mozart's requiem and his. own funeral march were performed with the assistance of

LaMache, Vlardot and the concert so

ciety. It was characteristic of the times that the artists should have asked 2,000 francs for this last tribute to Chopin. One would have thought that pride would have kept ihem-from Belling their gifts on such an occasion."

A man, whose name ' could not learned, was --badly . injured "while

work as bricklayer on the new Emerson school building in Gary. He 'was taken to Mercy hospital where-it "was found" that he is suffering from a

heavy blow on- the. head. '

The manner ' in which he was in

jured is not known. Dr. T.,B. Temp-

lin, who dressed the man's injuries, said that it might have' been the're-

sult.of .a fight, : or. it might have! resulted in an accident such as being hit by a falling brick.' ;

East Chicago. Ind., Oct. 28. John

Rodgers, the Chicago avenue saloonkeeper, and former chief of police, will

be given a chance to explain to the superior court the reason for his striking Officer John Thompson, of the local force, several njghts ago. Rodgers, it will be remembered, deliberately struck Thompson a cowardly blow while in a semi-drunken state. His trial was continued for several days at the request of his attorney, A. Ottenheimer, of this city, and upon final arraignment this morning, the latter advised Judge Edward De Briae that his client desired to have his case tried before another judge. State's - Attorney D. E." Boone here took a hand in'the affairs and dgc la-red that he -was- perfectly willing to grant such a change but that Judge Reiter would hear the case. , v - . . - ;-. :-He immediately filed ' action - in the superior' court and " Rodgers ' was ' rearrested on a sheriff's warrant.-charged

with assault and battery and the -car- ! rylng of concealed- weapons. ' His- pun-, ishment, " if demanded .by ' the ft higher

court, will be .'much heavier than any Mayor De Briae could have, imposed, and residents of East Chicago are -disposed to believe that Rodgers."had bet

ter, accepted and paid a fine in the local court.' ' c : - .. .- . . Rodgers has -been drinking quite heavily since his first arrest, and -an Investigation of the . facts , leading up to the destruction of .his. home,, as chronicledin The, Times of - last evening, shows, him to have left a lighted lamp in one of . the upper, bedrooms.. It is conjectured u.that . he . threw ,the' halfT burnt match into a pile .of clothing on the floor." causing, 'a slow fire. The extreme dampness of the roof, prevented the discovery of the' fire, earlier in the evening,' practically . the, entire upper section of the hduse being destroyed

before the roof caught afire. J "" ' Fortunately, there was no one in the house . 'at' the ' time,' Mrs. Rodgers being visiting In: Pittsburg. . Pa., at the time at the bed of a sick brother, while John Rodgers Jr. was working- at tile Republic mill' at the' time' of the fire. The building was fully covered by In

(Special to The Times.) Indiana Harbor, Ind.. Oct. 28. Despite the efforts of local Chairman Charles E. Fowler to secure Albert J.

Beveridge for an address at Indiana

Harbor, he was unable to do so. How ver.'the energetic leader decided to ac

cept "half a loaf" for next Saturday

I evening, and has made arrangements

for the presentation of Congressman

Walter-W. Cocks of New York, and

Senator Walter L. Ball of Muncie, Ind

- The arrangements were completed by-

Mr. Fowler on a special trip to Indian

apolis on "Monday. The ' state central

committee declared that Mr. Beveridge

could not come to Indiana Harbor, but

immediately telephoned - to eastern

headquarters in New York, asking for

assistance. Hon W. W. Cocks' was as

signed ' to the western work, and -will be given-a tremendous reception at

Saturday night's meeting.

Mr. Cocks is the congressman from

President Roosevelt's district in" New

Sfork state and is considered one of the

"biggest" men In legislative circles to

day. Senator Ball is well known to

Indiana audiences, and is a speaker o

merit and ability, his advocacy of the

republican cause bearing the stamp o

sincerity and truth.

Street Parade and Red Fire.

A street parade, several blocks In

ength, with quantities of red fire and

torches will also be part of the even

ing's program. Two bands, followed by

delegations from East Chicago, Ham

mond and Gary will complete the mons

ter spectacle, and give to Indiana Har

bor' such an outburst of enthusiasm as

it has never seen before.

William J. Bryan is to deliver an ad

dress from the rear platform of his

train on Saturday evening and will no

doubt draw a large crowd. These will

be swept away by the martial music

of the republican leaders, to the Col

iseum skating rink, where the meeting Is to be held. Another -democratic

meeting is scheduled to take place at Cohen's auditorium hall on the same

evening and there is a great deal

presaging being made regarding whic

party will have the better demonstra

tlon. Two men so well versed in the

discussion of both national and Interstate topics as are Messrs. Cocks and

Ball, however, should not fail to meet with the enthusiastic support of every

republican and every' level-headed

democrat in the northern end of Lake

county, and it is safe to predict that

the Coliseum meeting will be by far the larger cf the two attractions of the evening.

Gary democrats have not yet given

up all hopes of getting Mr. Bryan to

make a set speech in the city. A Chi cago dispatch says: ' The democrats at Gary are storm

ing against , the plans to have Bryan

The democratic national headquarters

is pointing out that the officers of the the teel trust were the "host" of the

big Taft meeting there Saturday night.

It is pointed out that the trust does not recognize the labor unions. In a democratic statement issued today, this assertion is made: "President Roosevelt having given his approval to the consolidation of the steel trust and its only rival in business, it Is regarded, as no more than natural that his proxy for the presidency should manifest his friendship for the trust by appearing at Gary under the auspices of that monopoly." W. R. Fairly of Alabama, one of the leaders among the United Mine Workers and well known in Indianapolis, was at republican national headquarters today.' Like Secretary W. D. Ryan of the miners' organization, he is out for. Taft and is also after Gompers. He'went to Danville, 111., this afternoon to speak for "Uncle Joe" Cannon. Fairley has always been a republican, and he has been embittered against democracy by a clash with the democratic

governor of Alabama. He will speak at Hymerla. Carlisle and Sullivan, Ind.,

this week.

The Gary town board met for their

egular session yesterday afternoon.

All members were present at the regu-

ar meeting at 2 o'clock and It was

after 4 o'clock when the members straightened their stiffened . limbs and

wandered home.

During the two" and one-half hours

that the board was in session very little was accomplished, except the al-

owing of the regular bills. ,

The board would -look at the plans

for the new central fire and police sta

tion and then somebody would start to talk about sewers. Then there was

he promoters for the new Valparaiso-

Gary interurban. Each subject came in

for its share of discussion. Of course

there was nothing else for the board

to do but look over plans and let

others do the talking.

To Inspect House Collection. Mr. James Green of the Green & ,

Sons Construction company, was pres

ent for the exceptance of local sewer number one. The city engineer's report on same was adopted by the' board. Mr. Green said that the company has

spent thousands of dollars in clean

ing out sand that has gone -into the the sewers through the carelessness of those who were making connections.

President Knotts suggested that an

amendment be made to the plumbers

ordinance in that whenever house con

nections were made in the future, they

would be' inspected by the city engineer.

The matter of the granting the fran

chise to the company building their

line from Valparaiso to' Gary, was brought up for discussion. Mr. Keator, representing the promoters of the new company, was present, as was also Attorney W. F. Chase, of Chicago, representing the Gary & Interurban. There was some discussion as to the interpretation of different clauses in the franchise granted to the Gary & Interurban, as to whether the franchise allowed other companies to enter Gary over their lines and do Jocal business In the city. Others Companira Have RIkMx.

President Knotts yesterday afternoon

made that point clear and said there had been mucli discussion on that

point. Mr. Knotts said that when the

Gary & Interurban franchise was

granted, it gave any other company the right to enter into Gary, and also run

their through cars through Gary at the rate of two cents per passenger.

but that they were not to ake any lo

cal business in the city. The city of-

fHcials had also a right to refuse any

company whom they hald irresponsible.

Mr. Knotts said that as the com

pany was not at this time incorporated or organized, no 'franchise would be

granted until that time. ' Mr. Keator said he would see that at the next meeting of the board that the company would be duly authorized to do business, as they would be incorporated by that time. Iniperta Architects' Plans. The plans for Gary's new central fire and police station were submitted to the board by Architects Kendricks, Hammons and Hudson. Colored prospective views were also submitted, which shows the beauties of the buildings. The new central fire and police station will not be built on the property donated by the steel company at the corner of Fifth avenue and Massachusetts street, but at Seventh avenue

and Massachusetts, on the property

puchascd. The building will be a combination police and fire sta'tion, with

offices for the city officials up on the second floor.

In years to come, as the growth of

the city business demands it. the city hall proper will be built on Fifth ave

nue and Massachusetts.

The plans of the three architects will

be considered by the board at their

next regular meeting.
