Federal Cement Tile company returned a verdict of $700 In favor of the plaintiff.

City Dad Plaa to Have More Light Placed ob Broadway Additional Are Light To Be Placed In Each Block. Bary"s Broadway is to get the "Great White Way" of the new steel city. It was decided by the city officials to have an electric arc street light between the blocks as well,as"on the street corners. This decision was arrived at partly because the blocks are long and partly because the street is so wide that it needs more city illumination than would ordinarily be provided to make it as light as Gary's principal street should be. From Fourth avenue to Eighteenth avenue there will be an arc light every 225 feet, and It is expected that this, with the illumination of the stores on the street, will make Indiana's Broadway brilliant.

N6 CONSTABLE AFTERA REAL PIG Forgets His Chase for Blind Variety and Drives a Bargain. WESTFALL HAS A FINE TASTE Brings Home the Bacon and Gives Ears and Tail to Mr. Knffner. (Special to The Times. Whiting, Ind., Dec. 8. Once in while a Whiting constable instead a of keeping after the blind pigs gets aft er a real porker and in one instance. at least, he got the ears and the tail While several stock cjars on the Lake Shore railroad were standing on the side tracks last week a young pig weighing about 200 pounds, managed to get out of a break in the door. Seeing the pig running at large, Au gust Beaubien, with several of his em ployes, finally succeeded in landing Mr. FigOnce in his possession Beaubien be gan to wonder what he was going to do with the animal. After keeping it for sever&l ys h decided it cost too much to keep It from being hungry Upon reporting the matter to head quarters he was instructed to sell it. Offer Three Cents. Inquiry at every meat market in own revealed the fact that no butcher would pay Beaubien more than 3 cents per pound for the pork. This looked like rather a small sum. so the agent hesitated in letting the butchers have it, feeling confident that It would certainly bring a larger price. Mike Kostinolic, who keeps the sa loon at One Hundred and Nineteenth and Center streets, heard about the stray animal, and went to see Mr. Beau bien and offered him $6. No sooner had Kostinolic offered the $6 than Constable- Kuffner came run nlng Into the Lake Shore freight of f.ce almost out of breath. He said he wanted to buy the pig and offered Beau blen J7 for it. Knffner Gets XIx. Having overbid Kostonolic by $1 the pig was hla. Kuffner, who knows con siderable about the value of pork, laughed , up his sleeve atthe bargain he was getting,, as he well knew that he could make quite a sum on it No sooner had Kuffner taken it home than Attorney Westfield, who had also "by this time heard of the coverted animal, offered the constable $10 for It. The pig next went Into the hands of Westfall, and a short time later went into eternity, Kuffner doing the butchering act. As his compensation j he was given the pig.s ears tall3 and i cluck. In addition to makinir the fs K-urrner win have some fine sausage which Kuffner will undoubtedly divide up with Beaubien. NEW CASES FILED IN CIRCUIT COUR 8143. Herman J.

TAFT PREDICTS

BREAK IH SOUTH Guarantees Prosperity and Says no Old, Wounds Will Be Opened. New York, Dec. 7. Without threats, but with promises, the breaking of the solid south was predicted tonight by William Howard Taft, president-elect of the United States, in his first New York banquet speech since election. He was talking as a guest of the New York Society of the State of North Carolina in the Hotel Astor ballroom. Many southern states were repre sented and If they had helped to make him president the reception could not have been more enthusiastic. Mr. Taft approached his ticklish subject diplomatically. In fact, his train mates on the train from the Virginia Hot Springs declared that the speech had been thrice rewritten. Deplores Sectional Lines. "Prosperity in the north Is accom panied by prosperity in the south, and a halt in the one means a halt in the other. Northern people meet southern people and find them friendly and charming and full of graceful and grateful companionship. "What It is that sets the south apart and takes from the southern people the responsibilities which the members of a republic ought to share in respect to the conduct of the national government? Wry is it that what is done at Washington seems to be the work of the norti and west and not of the south? Should this state of affairs con tinue? "We can answer these questions as the historian would and we can explain the situation as It Is, but I don't think we can justify or excuse a con tinuance of it. Looking back Into the past, of course, the explanation of the difference between the south and the other two sections was In the institution of slavery. "It doesn't help in the slightest de gree In the present day to stir up the embers of the controversy of the past by attempting to fix blame on one part of the country or the other In respect to an institution which has gone, and happily gone, one the one hand, or in respect to the. consequences of that intitution which we still have with us on the other." TAG DAY NETS $329.09 Thirty Whiting Young Ladies Cover Themselves With Glory. (Special to Thb Times. Whiting, Ind., Dec. 8. The committee of the Whiting Relief and Aid society, composed of Mesdames William Warwick, chairman; George T. Gray, Alexander Hamilton and John Schaub, gathered In the directors' room of the First National bank yesterday afternoon, and counted the proceeds of the tag day collections, which was held in Whiting on last Friday afternoon. As was announced In Thb Times last Saturday the committee thought the contributions would be between $400 and $500. This was only a rough es timato for an accurate account. Yes terday It was learned that the amount of the collections is $329.09. Of this sum Misses Almirah Morse and Florence Schaub received the two largest sums. The collections of Miss Morse was $35 and of Miss Schaub was $29. Expenses Were Small. The expenses attached to the work was very slight, the cost of the tags be ing the only expense attached. These costing a very small sum, almost the entire amount or tne money win go Into the treasury of the Whiting Re lief and Aid society. Each of the thirty young ladies who worked so hard to make the affair a success may well be proud of the work they have done. They win receive tneir reward on next Friday night when they will be given a reception at the home of Mrs. Warwick by the ladies of the committee under whose supervision they worked. The society have been promised donation of $10 from the Owl club and also one from the city of Whiting, which together with the large amount collected on tag day, will swell the treasury of the relief and aid so ciety to quite a sum, especially considering that it was organized only two weeks ago.
