Attorney Frank Gavit in an Interview for the Times, Tells Why an Independent Jurisdiction for Gary Is Impractical.

MUCH INTERESTED Ifl STEEL CITY HIMSELF Says Lake County Lawyers Already Have Taken Their Hands Full in Looking After Their Business in Three Places at Once Suggests Additional Judge. Attorney Fraifk Garit Is probably as Impartial a lewyer as tbere f In Lake county regarding the question as to the best means ol relieving the congestion in the Lake superior court. Mr. Gavit is Impartial because, in a peculiar way he represents nearly every city In Lake county. Mr. Gavit lives in "Whiting, he has larger Interests in Gary than any other lawyer in the. county: he files most of his cases in the Lake superior court in Hammond tries them there, and goes to Crown 1 Point to file some of his cases whei. ne deems it expedient. Attorney Gavit consented to an interview with a reporter for The Times, in which he stated his opinion regarding the respective claims of Hammond, Crown Point and Gary. Have Hands Full Xon, "In the first place," said Mr. Gavit, ' 'I am willing to go on record as being opposed to any more independent courts in Lake county. There is not a lawyer in the county who will deny that we have our hands full right now looking after cases in three courts. "An attorney may have an Important case on in Hammond, and receive word that he Is expected to appear in a case at Crown Point or in Valparaiso. The running around that lawyers are compelled to do makes litigation much more expensive than it would be if it was necessary only to watch the proceedings of one court. "If Gary gets a court," he continued, "it will make a fourth court to look after, and it is beyond the physical ability of a lawyer who has anything of a practice to follow the proceedings of four courts. Suggests Additional Judge. "If an additional Judge is established at Hammond it will simplify the matter that much, and if the court at Crown Point is made continuous, that will eliminate the necessity of going to Valparaiso and Michigan City. "In my opinion, to create another court at Gary will be to complicate maters, and to establish another judge at Hammond, or two more if neces sary, and make the circuit court at Crown Point continuous will simplify matters." Mr. Gavit's opinion in these matters always has a great weight, and his experience In waging one fight for ad dltional court facilities makes Gary's . ambtton seem all the more mpractical to him. BOARD HOLDS MEETING Gary City Fathers Appoint Fire - Chief This Afternoon. At the regular session of the Gary town board this afternoon the city fathers will continue the fire protection proposition and possibly make an appointment of a chief. President Knotts refused last night to state who would probably be the selecetion of the board, but it is thought that the Chi cago man, the ex-fire captain in one of the stations, is the most popular man. There are applicants for the posi tion from every quarter of the United States and Canada. Some of the men who have' made application are well known fire fighters, so that when the chief is finally secured and the reor ganization of the department starts, the business men of Gary can feel safer than they ever have before. The construction of the new fire sta tion, at the corner of Seventh avenue and Massachusetts street, has been started by Contractor Gallagher. Deafness Cannot, Be Cured.

Fail3 to Put in an Appearance at Corner Stone Laying of Congregational Church Yesterday, PLAGE FILLED BY REV. A. J. SULLENS But Handful of People Brave the Wintry Air to Witness Religious Ceremony at Church Corner Stone Laying Which Takes Place in the New Steel City. A handful of people yesterday afternoon braved the cold, wintry air to 'wit ness the laying of the corner stone for the First Congregational chnrch of Gary. The building vrhich Is now under construction will stand at the corner of Sixth avenue and Madison street, and when completed will coat f 12,000. Big Hopes for Future. The edifice which Is now in the course of erection will be only a chapel com pared with what the congregation hopes to do. This sentiment was expressed yesterday at the corner stone laying services, which were conducted by the Rev. A. J. Sullens, the pastor of the church. Dr. Newell Falls to Come. The honor of officiating at the ser vices yesterday was delegated to Dr. W. "W. Kewell of Chicago, who several months ago turned the first spade-full of ground" for the ihurch. Sickness, however, prevented his appearance and consequently the pastor of the church officiated in his place. Rev. Sullens complimented the archl tect for the good work that he is doing and expressed his hope that the congregation would be In the church by Jan. 15. Baaement Completed. The basement Is already partly com pleted and is arranged for a kitchen and dining room, with sufficient room for athletic quarters for the young men and women of the congregation. M. L. Maxon is the cpntractor for the building, and is rushing the work as fast as possible. SCHOOL CHILDREN 10 BE SEGREGATED White and Colored Lads and Lassies in uary to Be Educated Separately. At a meeting of the Gary board education yesterday the segratlon of of the negro race in the public schools was decided upon. A separate school for the negro children is to be estab lished on the south side In Gary and there will be about thirty students in the school at the start. The fact was made plain by Professor W. A. Wirt, C. Oliver Holmes nd O. P. Melton, members of the school board, that this step was not taken so much because It was undesirable to have the negro children in Gary mix with the whites as for the reason that the edu cation of the negro children can be carried - on much more successfully if they are segregrated and are taught by negro instructors who are better acquainted with their needs. The members of the board have in mind a negro woman teacher in Chi cago whom they think will be excep tionally desirable and an effort will be made to enlist her services. Ulany Negros in Gary. As the negro population in Gary is very large it is expected that the nectslsty for this school will grow and It will be established with the Idea of meeting the future needs of the city. It was thought advisable to take this step at the present time for the reason that It might be more difficult of accomplishment later on. There Is no question that the negros of Gary will approve of the change and that it will be better for the town all around. BENJAJIIN KLEIN IN COURT " AGAIN.

The attack was the work of three men, and In the darkness Mr. Woods was unable to distinguish any of their features, or even secure a good d-escrlptlon. According to his story one of the men approached him near the corner of One Hundred and Fortieth and Elm streets and held out a revolver, the weapon pointing directly at the constable. With a gruff, VHold up your hands' Mr. Hold Up Man proceeded to make things lively for Mr. Woods. The latter, of course, obeyed the command. and as soon as his hands were above : his head two other men appeared from behind a clump of bushes. These men j hastily relieved the astonished ex-con- i stable of his money and after taking a j glance at his features ran penmen down Elm street. As they ran they hurled back a parting admonition commanding Mr. Woods "not to follow them." Woods immediately went to the nearest telephone and called up Sergeant Qulnlan at the Indiana Harbor police station, who sent three officers to the scene of the attack. Although the officers beat about in the bushes for almost an hour they were unable to find any trace of the miscreants.

At the present time It Is necessary to take wounded and injured men to the offices of the company's physicians in an ambulance before anything is done to relieve their condition. The trip Is necessarily made in an ambulance, and the jarring and tearing of this often causes the patient to suffer a shock from which it is not easy to revive him. Accommodation Is Appreciated. The proposed building will be of brick construction and will comprise four rooms. One of these will be used as an operating room, where fragments : of bruised flesh may be operated upon, or entire limbs taken away preparatory -to taking the patient to his home or to St. Margaret's hospital, Hammond. The other rooms will be used for the washing and performing of other and minor operations on various parts of thf ". -jured workingmen. For tL"" coming year the building. If erexrted, will be under thesupervisitn of Superintendent J. W. Lees and Dr. Robert Ansley, who was recently appointed the company' physician. The move Is one of the many excellent advances made by the local company, who have even heretofore expressed a desire to give their Injured workmen the best possible treatment regardless of expense, and commendation is due Superintendent Lees and his assistants for the advancing of the project.
