FRUIT PEDDLERS ARE HURT

Bad Accident on Chicago, Lake Shore & South Bend Line Results in Serious Injury, to East Chicago Men. REPORTS WERE HUGH EXAGGERATED THOUGH Curve In Road Hides Car as It Was On Its Way From Clark Station to Gary and One of the Victims Is Carried For Nearly Two Hundred Feet. Max Goldstein and Daniel I.effler. two Jewish fruit peddlers, who conduct ' a wholesale fruit store on Olcott ave nue In East Chicago, w ere the victims of a crossing accident yesterday after noon which might have cost them their lives. The accident was due to a collision between the wagon of the peddlers and a Chicago, Lake Shore and South Bend Intel-urban car at the Clark street road near Clark station. The ear, which was in charge of Motorman Kramer and Conductor Johnson was going at the rate of fifty miles an" hour when it struck the wagon. There is a slight curve in the road and owing to this the two men on the wagon did not notice the ap proach of the car. When it struck them it caught the wagon which was loaded with fruit squarely in the cen ter, demolishing it completely. Leffler was caught up by the front of the car and carried for nearly 200 feet. He fell beside the road bed unconscious. The wagon seat and pieces of the wagon and all of the fruit was all hurled considerable distance. Car ts Damaged. When Motorman, Kramer noticed that the wreck was unavoidable he cut off the power and ran back in the car for shelter. The front window of the car was demolished and the glass was thrown all over the car. Part of the fruit too was scattered in the car. The horses escaped uninjured. The train crew Immediately picked up the two injured men and placed them in the car which was backed up to Gary, where they were taken to Mercy hospital. Both of the men were unconscious when they were flicked up and at first It was thought that they had both suffered broken legs and broken arms. An examination, however, showed that each suffered several broken ribs and a broken collar bone and other internal injuries. It is thought that both will survive the accident. The two men came from East Chica go yesterday In the hope' of peddling their fruit. They were encountered by Officer Miller, who seeing that they had no license ordered them out of town. It was while on their way back home they met with the accident. Goldstein and Leffler had recently moved to East Chicago from South Chicago and both are married and have families in East Chicago.

If your husband or son has fallen a victim to the drink habit, stop pleading, scolding and crying. Use Orrine, which is recommended by thousands of leading druggists throughout the coun try because they know the good it has accomplished. Hundreds of letters attest to the re markable cures made by Orrine. Polk Miller Drug Co., of Richmond, Va, write: "Mothers and sisters have told us of husbands and brothers who since they were given OrrIne( in most cases without their knowledge) seem to have lost all desire for drink. Thus your preparation has brought much comfort and happiness to once desolate homes. This successful remedy can be given secretly if desired, using Orrine No. 1, or the patient t-an take It of his own free will, using Orrine No. 2. Either form destroys the desire for strong drink and builds up the bodily health. making the user strong ana wen, a man in every sense of the word.

CLUB IKES PLAi ABOUT IIS JUNKET

Will Go to South Bend in a Body Accompanied by Brass Band. GET AFTER THE RAILROADS Committee vis Appointed to Ask a New Depot From Lake Shore Railroad. The Commercial club yesterday determined -upon its junketing trip to South Bend, and the committee on entertainment, which has that work in charge, has been Instructed to begin the detailed preparation. It was decided as an outline of the program to have a special train containing several coaches, decorated with pictures of Gary, leave Hammond and go as far as South Bend. The only question which remains undecided is whether or not the junket will wind up at South Bend or Gary. Most of the party feel that they would like to have the real celebration at home after they have made the noise in the other cities. Others, however. feel that it would be impossible to re turn from South Bend to Gary the same day and that it should be held at the finish of the junket. The members of the Gary Commercial club Intend to make this one of the finest affairs ever given by the club. The primary purpose is to boost the city rather than to entertain the memoers. Doth or which, however, will be accomplished. It is expected that they will leave no less than one hundred strong, accompanied by the band, to enliven the small army of invading business men. Go After the Railroads. Another matter of importance whih was acted upon yesterday afternoon was an effort to bring several of the railroad companies to time in regard to their service in the city. The Lake Shore & Michigan Southern will be asked y a committee, composed of At torney II. F. McCracken, Attorney Clar ence Bretsch, and W. F. Hodges, to attempt to induce the officials of that road to provide a suitable depot for the passengers this winter, in place of the sheds which are now in use. This committee will also , be ' asked to Investigate the grade crossings at the Michigan Central, Wabash and Pennsylvania tracks. They will ask them to have the crossings protected by watchmen or gates ,and if they are unsuccessful In this they may appeal to the railroad commission of the state and try to force them to submission. The matter of joining the State Fed eration of Commercial clubs was taken up, and it was decided to make appli cation for membership. The next meet ing of the association will be held at Goshen in the near future, and the local club will send down three dele gates which will be appointed in the near future by President Norton. A DROP 111 American Steel Foundries Co. Makes Fiscal Year Report. Indiana Harbor, Ind., Nov. 12. According to the financial report of the American Steel Foundries company to cover its operations in the fiscal year ended July 31, the company's gross sales in that period were $8. 964, 168, as compared with $19,463,521 in the preceding year and $15,297,495 in 1906. The net earnings from operation after the deduction of manufacturing and selling charges and the management's commissions were only $621,056, as compared with $2,S93,642 in the preceding year. Other income during the past year was sufficient to raise the total income to $768,814, but the balance after interest, sinking fund and depreciation charges was only $3S,445, as compared with a balance of $2,379,097 in 1907. This drop in earnings was due, of course, to the panic that paralyzed the buying power of the railroads and the other corporations that are the Steel Foundries company's chief customers. For several months the company operated its plants at 15 to 20 per cent of normal capacity. Liberal Charges for Repaint. In addition to the charge of $207,910 for depreciation, the company charged off during the year $576,984 for repairs and renewals, the amount being absorbed in manufacturing costs.

GARY PEOPLE WILL ' GO 10 SOUTH BEND 0

Convention of Y. M. C. A. Will Be Held There This Month. SESSION LASTS FOUR DAYS Gary Hopes to Have It Own Build ing for Young Men's Christian Association Some Day. At least two dozen persons tn Gary have signified their intention of attend ing the thirty-ninth annual convention of the Indiana Young Men's Christian Association, which will be held a South Bend on November 19, 20, 21 and 22. C. Oliver Holmes of this city, who is secretary of the Y. M. C. A., is ar ranging to get together a' large party to attend the convention and make the trip over the Chicago, Lake Shore & South Bend interurban. Many of Gary's business and professional men have received special invitations and will attend. The thirty-ninth convention will have more strong features than ever before. It will mark an epoch in .Indiana for it will celebrate not only the completion at South Bend of the most perfect association building in the world, of cities of that class, but the acquisition of much new equipment essential in the state. Gary Looks for Home. The building of a Y. M. C. A. building In Gary and the establishment of headquarters at this place, although It may be many years' hence, is a question that is vitally important to the city and many from this place will attend the convention with the thought In view that Gary may soon have such a beautiful building as that which now graces the city of South Bend. - The convention will last four days and the program will be well worth going a long distance to hear, and many noted speakers will be present, among whom are Rev. Frank W. Gunsaulus, D. D., Chicago; Bishop Edwin Hughes, San Francisco; Rev. E. A. Steiner Ph. D., Grinnell college; Dr. Oliver Logan, China; Fred B. Smith, New York; Rev. Frederick E. Taylor, D. D., Indianapolis; Fred A. Crosby, Chicago; Arthur J. Elliott, Chicago; William H. Gay, Grand Rapids, Mich.; David R. Porter, New York. LAYING DOUBLE TRACK Interurban Is Rushing Im provements at East Chicago. (Special to The Times.) East Chicago, Ind., Nov. 13. Traffic on the G, L. S. & S. B. line was su spended for over an hour last evening, due to the breaking of the switch points by one of the large interurban cars, The accident occurred at the Wegg avenue "Y". For over an hour, cars could not pass the damaged point going either east or west, and it was only by spiking the rails, and backing the cars in and out of the "Y" that the routine schedule could be observed. The company is busily engaged in putting in its double track system between Wegg and Railroad avenues, The trolley wires were strong overhead sev eral days ago, and the road is being torn up preparatory to the laying of the tracks. A force of about fifty men is at work breaking up the macadam while a smaller force of track men are following close behind with the neces sary rails. The company expects to have the work completed before Dec, 1, and the observation of a more satis factory schedule Is promised after that time. The single tracking of the line has been the one undesirable feature of this divisian, where the large interur ban cars and city cars are compelled to wait at Junctions and switches for each other's arrival. The Installation of additional trackage will eliminate this feature of the road's operation, and permit the operating of a 15-minute schedude between East Chicago and Indiana Harbor.
