Not over a hundred feet west of the Erie bridge which crosses the Calumet river north of Hegewisch there is a pontoon wagon bridge. Warned of Danger. Just at the time the party arrived at the bridge it was swung open to permit a tug and a scow to pas3. The automobllists were warned of the danger, but it seems the driver of the machine was too intoxicated to heed the warnlng and the automobile plunged over the edge of the bridge into the river, The whole accident was seen by the bridge tender and one or two other spectators and they at once went to the rescue. They managed to pull six of the victims of the accident out of the water, but the other two were drowned before help could reach them. The machine was lifted out , of the river bv Improvised derricks, and It was not until 10 o'clock in the morn ing that the bodies of Miss Margaret Atkins and Joseph Meiers were recov ered. Efforts If ere Frustrated, The number of the machine was 15,456 Illinois, but it has not yet been learned where it was rented. The chauffeur is said be the one who i3 employed by "Skinny" Madden, the la bor leader, who came to Hammond the other day and tried to get a seat in the Lake County Trades and Labor council. Tne first report that came to the East Side police station was that a machine had ben stolen and then the parlculars of he accident came in. The East Side police were very prompt in handling the case and at once sent a patrol wagon with half a dozen officers in it to the scene of the accident to aid in the recovery of the bodies. FEDERATION OF CLUBS COMPLETE. (Continued from Pace One.) that not so much attention be paid to the legislation, but in the personnel of the legislature. Gary Carrie the Day. The place of meeting for next year will be Gary. The active campaign instituted by the lively delegation of this remarkable city, had its sure effect, and there was practically no opposition. Connersville was proposed as a possible place, but the name was withdrawn and the selection of Gary was made unanimous. The meeting will be held at the same time next year. The constitution adopted was brief. It provided for officers, a president thirteen vice presidents, one for each congressional district, and a secretarytreasurer. The executive committee will be made up of the officers. The original draft of the constitution provided for the appointment of the executive committee by the president. Interested In Waterways. Great interest was displayed In the reforms that were adopted. It had been the general Impression throughout the meetings that the Merchants' association reforms would be indorsed. The road reforms have a tinge of originality. The resolution indorsing 'the new Indiana Waterways Commission was introduced at the close of the lilv king 1 1 .

Cotton, state superin tendent of public instruction, in his annual report, which will be handed to the governor within a few days, will recommend that the next legislature pass a law creating the positions of high school inspector and normal school inspector. Mr. Cotton believes the state board of deucatlon should be relieved of some of its duties. The law passed by the last legislature, fixing the salaries and qualifications of teachers requires teachers to have high school and normal school training. This makes necessary the inspection of the high schools and normal schools of the state, This work has ben done by the state board. SQGIETY TOBE STARTLED Callahan Divorce Case in Gary Will Make People Sit Up and Listen. An Interesting divorce case, for which the papers are in preparation, promises to develop in Gary this week.

He says that on many occasions when she left town that he learned that the co-respondent was out of town simultaneously. The Callahans have no children, while the physician, who is named in the peti tlon, is a widower. KNEELS AT EVERY CRAmr IN WALK TO PAY BET. Man Who Voted For Bryan Saves $1,000 by His Act.

Weak Hearts "I was terribly afflicted with my heart. At times it seemed to miss every other beat. I took Dr. Miles' Heart Remedy until my trouble was all gone it has never returned." R. R. PENN, Springville, Iowa. One person in every four has a weak heart. Some are born weak, some become weak from disease, others by over-exertion. If you have palpitation, fluttering, irregular pulse, short breath, oppressed feeling in chest, smothering or faint spells, you may know your heart is weak. There is nothing better for a weak heart than Dr. Miles' Heart Remedy. It has brought relief to thousands, it should to you, even in cases of long standing.

Toleston and Gary Quit Fighting and Bill Will Be Introduced Making Both One City at Next Session of Legislature. 1 Toleston has given np Its bitter fight against Its stronger sister city, Gary. All Indications now point to the probability that when the next state legislature meets that a bill will be passed, with the consent of both Gary aad Toleston, that the latter town be Incorporated In Gary. Toleston has already taken a vote on the matter in the way of a petition, which has been signed by a majority of the people in the town, thus signifying that they are willing to become part of Gary. Petition la Gary Today. The Toleston petition was sent to Gary this morning, where it was start ed out in quest of signatures to get the consent of the majority of people in Gary for the consolidation. The peti tlon asks that Toleston be permitted to come under the beneficent rule of Gary, and points out that the interests of the two municipalities are so alike that it would result in mutual benefit. Issues Are Dead. This having been the precise object over which Gary and Toleston have fought bitterly, and the issue now be ing dead, It is expected that a major ity of the signers will be gained in a short time. It is estimated that it will not take more than ten days to circu late the petition in Gary and after that, provided there is a majority, an elec tion will be held, one In Gary and the second in Toleston. In Toleston the issue will be whether the Toleston peo ple want to come under the Jurisdiction of Gary; while in the latter city the issue will be whether Gary wants to incorporate Toleston. The vote, of course, is thought to be a mere formal lty and that it will decide in favor of the Toleston annexation. Both Communities Benefited. Once the people of the two cities having given their opinion, a bill will be prepared and presented to the next legislature. In Toleston, the petition has the support of suh men like Otto Borman and Smith and Bader, all members of the Toleston bank, and in fact of all the leading' men In the community. The consolidation. It Is argued, both in Toleston and Gary, will be a great benefit to both corporations. Toleston will gain by the prestige that Gary has secured for Itself, while Gary will grow In population and size until Its borders will reach to Hammond. DIES AT MERCY HOSPITAL YESTERDAY Victim Of GaiT InterUrban Was Injured Internally It Seems. Owing to the Injuries he received by being struck while alighting from a Gary and Interurban car in Gary, last Sunday night, Michael Kurovich died at Mercy hospital yesterday morn ing. It was thought at first that Kurovlch's condition was not at all serious, but it is the opinion of the physician that when he fell to the pavement he received internal injuries. The inquest will be held this morning and the conductor and motorman who were in charge of the car at the time of the accident. It is not thought they will be held responsible, as the man alighted from the car while it was In motion and was slightly intoxicated at the time. The inquest is being held by Deputy Coroner Templin. BIG ORE CARGO ARRIVES Steamer William A. .fayne of Chicago Lands at Indiana Harbor. (Special to The Times.) Indiana Harbor. Ind., Nov. 20.Loaded with 9,000 tons of ore from the Duluth mines, the steamer William A. Payne of Chicago .entered the Harbor yesterday afternoon, consigned to the Inland Steel company. The shipment was the last to be made this year, and Its receipt signified that there is sufficient of the metal ores in the large bins to last during the winter months. The reddish dust is piled almost mountains in heighth along the company's wharf and Is the cause of comment from passengers of outgoing passenger trains, who see in its magnitude the making of enormous wealth for the country should it be transformed into the completed steel products. Chief Engineer Strale yesterday made the final soundings of the harbor for the year, finding the depth of the opening in all places sufficient to warrant the easy pasage of vessels at high draught

FATHER WILL FILE SUIT FOR HIS SOU

Will Claim Damages For Boy's Injuries Sustained on Interurban. THE LAD FAILS FROM A GAR Conductor on Lake Shore-South Bend Line is Charged With Neglect of His Duties. (Special to The Times.) East Chicago, Ind., Nov. 20. As the result of a conductor falling to give the proper signal to stop the car, Nick Vuksanovitch, formerly a member of the East Chicago police force, will file a suit for damages against the C, L. S. & S. B. line. The damages were sustained by Peter, the 7 year old son of Mr Vuksanovitch and consisted of sev eral bad bruises about the face and hands. Acording to the story told by the lit tle fellow, he was riding on one of the Harbor branch cars with two companions of his own age. Their fares had been paid, and as they neared Alexander avenue on which the injur ed lad lives, he gave the customary "high sign" to the conductor. Con trary to the rules of the company the conductor was on the front platform with the motorman and failed to heed the proffered signal. The car slowed down slightly at the crossing, and the three lads jumped from the car. Two of the youngsters succeeded in landing safely, but the Vuksanovitch boy was rolled for several feet in the stones along the right of way. It was feared at first that bones had been broken by the fall, but an examination by Dr. A. G. Schlelger resulted in the informa tion that the lad's injuries consisted mainly of painful bruises. While the lad's face is badly swollen, his condition is improving and he will be inconvenienced for but a few days. PIG IRON IS ADVANCING Steel Situation Over the Country Is VeryHopeful. I Cleveland, Nov. 20. The Iron Trade review says: The two extremes of its products pig iron and old material are furnishing the most interesting de velopments of the present moment in the iron and steel industry. The mar kets for both these materials are following the line of the unusual, under the condition of only medium, activity now holding forth in the general Industry. Supported by optimism on the part of producers, to which the sellers are contributing by their hope of a larger consuming power In the near future, the pig iron market is steadily advancing in price. This condition has lead to more less speculative activity among buyers which many furnaces, by adopting conservative policies of selling, are attempting to discourage in be half of a healthy and more gradual ultimate recovery. The old material situation appears much more artificial. The advancinar lavel Is directly charged to the dominaare absorbing much of the limited cur rent offerings and are adding these to the immense tonnage already held in yards for profitable uplift of the mar ket. The abnormal state of affairs pre vailing was illustrated the last week by action of bar iron makers in raising the price of their product $2 a ton to a base of $1.50 Pittsburg, because of the high level of wrought scrap. The tone of the Iron and steel situa tion as a whole Is quite hopeful, and a slow but sure recovery is more clear ly shown. ANOTHER PRAIRIE FIRE Police Department Takes Chemical Wagon to Threatening Blaze. The Gary fire department was called out yesterday afternoon at 1 o'clock when a report was sent in by telephone Madison streets, together with several of the cottages and shacks In the vicinity, were on fire. The police department, according to custom, hailed the first man that passed with a team and pressed him into service. The chemical engine was hurried to the scene of the blaze, which by the time it arrived three-quarters of a mile had nearly been extinguished. None of the houses In the vicinity had been touched by the flames, contrary to the report telephoned to the police station, although the forest fire which was raging looked dangerous for a time. Several of the women of the neighborhood had made a hard fight against the flames, which threatened to destroy their homes, and by the time the Are department arrived they had the blaze so well under control that there was no necessity of using the chemicals at all. The women in the vicinity, who were very much excited at the time, told the police that their houses would surely burn uo when thv sent in the alarm

that they did to the police station.' Several of them accused a negro who J

lives in a bhack next to theirs of setting the woods on fire for the purpose of burning them out. but this storv wo doubted by the police.

GOT JOB THROUGH TIES

Frank Hubblsger, employed by the S. L. Eisler company, who has a big heart, took pity on the old man and has given him employment for his board and room.
