DEAL CONSUMMATED YE STER DflYAFT E R M 0 0 f 1 Architects Perkins and Hamilton of the Chicago Board of Education, Will Draw Plans for Building Speculation as to Successor to Prcfessor Hall, Who Will Resign. (Special to Thh Times.) Waiting, Ind., Fob. 11. Another forward step iR-as taken yeoterday in the culmination of the city council's plans for a new high school building when. the Standard Oil company coneentd to sell to the school board the six Tacant lots on Oliver (street, between the Manual Training and the Carnegie Library buildings. The lots are each 40 feet wide and 143 feet deep and whl' member Charles Klose of the school board yesterday refused to announce the exact price paid tor the property, the cost will not exceed J5,000. With the lands purchased and plans under preparation, it now remains for the "Whiting spirit to urge to completion their new $60,000 building. The city is growing rapidly and Architects Perkins and Hamilton of Chicago, who are drawing the plans, have been Instructed to design a building for Jiigh school purposes only. The present nigh school structure will be used hereafter for grade purposes, the present plans of the school board being to move the kindergarten grades from the manual training building to the frame structure on Oliver street, after changing these grades over into the old high ohool building. The building, which was the first of Whiting's now extensive school system, will probably be remodeled. The Chicago architects also have charge of the plans for the Chicago board of education and have promised to have the local designs ready for consideration at the next meeting of the Whiting school board, to be held on Feb. 27. Prof. J. C. Hall Resign. The resignation of Professor John C. Hall has aroused a storm of discussion regarding his possible successor. Mr. Klose yesterday declared that no action had as yet been taken regarding the selection of a superintendent for next year. A movement is on foot, however, among citizens of Whiting, to request the return of Professor Robert I Hughes to the local school system. Mr. Hughes was one of the potent powers in the upbuilding of Whiting and at present is enjoying a lucrative position in a Chicago school. It is understood, however, that he has sign4fled his willingness to return to Whiting and those who have memories reaching back eight years in the Whiting school life will declare him a worthy successor to the admirable wofk of Professor Hall. Principal W. W. HolUflay is also being mentioned as a strong possibility for the chair. Inside Facte.

SIMPLE WASH CURES ECZEMA, Why Salves Fall Dalle a Simple Liquid Han Accomplished Thousand of Cures. It is now thoroughly established among the best medical authorities that ecema is purely a skin disease, due to a germ, and curable only through the skin. It is not a blood disease at all; in fact, thousands of people suffer with skin disease and are -perfectly healthy otherwise, and there by prove they have no deceased blood. Smeary salves cannot reach the germs because they do not penetrate the skin. The only way to reach the germs is by means of a penetrating liquid. Such a liquid can be obtained by simply mixing ordinary oil of wintergreen with thymol, glycerine and other healing agents. This compound, known as D. D. D. Prescription, stops the itch Instantly and the cures all appear to be permanent. In fact, it took thousands of cures, case after case, before the best scientific authorities were convinced of the absolute merit of this remedy. D. D. D. Prescription kills the germs in the itching skin. Its effect . is . see nwithln one minute after the first application. We especially recommend D. D. D. soap in connection with the treatment.

Mrs. Anna Schuester of East Chicago Is Found Not Guilty of Embezzling $200 Placed in Her Care by Others.

JUDGE REM SAYS HE IS CONVINCED i Mr. and Mrs. Dietrich of Gary Were the Plaintiffs Place Their Money in the Hands of Landlady, Who Upon the Demand of it, Says That it is Lost. (Special to Thh Times.) East Chicago, Ind., Feb. 11. Notwithstanding the mysterious disappearance of about $200 placed in her hands for safe-keeping. Judge William A. Reiland yesterday decided that Mrs. Anna Schuester was not responsible for its loss and released her from the charges of embezzlement preferred by Mr. and Mrs. A. Dietrich of Gary. The trial of the case lasted three days and the evidence was liberally intermingled with the tears of Mrs. Dietrich, who declared that In the loss of the $200 all her savings had been taken from her. Judge Reiland declared last night that he had dismissed the case on account of the failure of the state to prove that the money had been appropriated by Mrs. Schuester to her own use.- "I do not believe that Mrs. Schuester ever received the benefit of a cent of the money and my opinion was sustained by every portion of the evidence. Mr. and Mrs. Dietrich felt their loss keenly but accepted the court's de cision with good grace. Several weeks ago they left Gary to board at the Schuester home on Fir street. Mrs. Dietrich had he $200 in her pocketbook and declared that she felt some fear about carrying such a large amount on her person, and gave it to Mrs. Schuester for safe-keeping. Mrs. Schuester in turn handed the money to her husband, who placed it in a bureau drawer. The two families got along very nicely until about a week ago when Mrs. Dietrich den?anded the return of her money, desiring to make some purchases. Mrs. Schuester then told the Gary woman that some one had stolen the money from the drawer and that she would be unable to make good the loss. Mrs. Dietrich employed Attorney Abe Ottenhefmer to represent her in the embezzlement charges and Mrs. Schuester retained Attorney T. M. C. Hembroff of Indiana Harbor. BIG SENSATION IN COURT (Continued from Page One.) Pick & Co. was the principal one, appeared in the Lake superior court in Hammond and petitioned for the appointment of a receiver. Walter S. Ross, a Gary real estate man was appointed receiver. According to the statements of facts in the petition for the dismissal of the receivership, which was filed by Attorneys Ballard and Stanton, Henry F. McCracken first appeared as the attorney for Albert Pick & Co. and then when Walter S. Ross, who is associated with McCracken and Fitzgerald in seeral enterprises, was appointed the received for Frank J. Swada, the petition states that Henry F. McCracken became the attorney for Frank J. Swada. It was for this reason that Attorney Everett G. Ballard denounced Henry F. McCracken and led to the interesting tilt in the courtroom. Mr. Ballard alleges that Swada's property is worth between $8,000 and $10,000 and that there is only a liability of $4,000 against it. He states that the receiver has rented the store, whlc his In Tolleston, for $50. when he had an opportunity to rent the store for $75. He also alleges that the receiver ousted Frank J. Swada from his own property. Wlliiam J. Whinery of Hammond is appearing with Attorneys Ballard and Stanton of Gary in the case. GARY PIONEER IS DEAD The remains of Fred Stuckum, who died at his home, 928 Jefferson street. yesterday morning, were shipped to South Haven this morning on the 8:14 Michigan Central train where interment will take place. The deceased was one of Gary's pioneer saloonkeepers who formerly owned a buffet on Jefferson street. A short time ago he was taken to a Chicago hospital suffering with consumption. He rapidly grew worse and was brought home a few days ago. He leaves a wife and two children to mourn his loss. Hla remains were accompanied to the station this morning by a number of members of the local lodge of Eagles of which be was a member.

RESIDENTS IN SOUTH 6ARY WAHTTELEPHONES Attorney Robert E. O'Connor Threatens to Take Legal Steps. COMPANY SPEAKS OF H0L00P Says That Pennsylvania Company Owns Poles and Charges $1 for Each Attachment. Attorney Robert Emmet O'Connor is engaged at the present time in a frantic effort to secure telephone service for the Pennsylvania Coal and Teaming company of the south end and other parties in that locality. After taking the matter up with several officials of the telephone company Mr. O'Conner become discouraged at the lack of action on their part and -will now ask the city to take a hand in the matter. Considerable correspondence has taken place between the parties concerned with nothing accomplished, according to the story of the attorney. "There is no reason on earth why these people should not be given telephone service," said Mr. O'Conner. "It not only means a good deal to the business interests of the concern, but there are several others in this locality which would have telephone installed could they get the service. I have been work ing long enough to get the telephones in, and now I intend to take legal steps, to force the company to do so, if they do not act at once." Another Version. There is, however, another version to this strife which has become so heated, and that is the Chicago Telephone company's story. Manager F. M. Sinclair stated last night that every effort had been made to run the lines to that locality, seven blocks west of Broadway along the Pennsylvania tracks. "We thought that the most feasible plan would be to run the wires along the poles of the railroad tracks. We therefore negotiated with the Western Union company, thinking that they were the owners, but found out after some time that the Pennsylvania company Itself

" owned the poles. These officials were negotiated with and" the price they asked for . was $1 per contract. This i was above the usual scale and the telephone company refused to pay it. This matter was then dropped for the time being, pending the effort of Mr. O'Connor to secure a reasonable rate for the use of the poles. Telephones will be installed in this locality aa soon as the proper arrangements can be made." ANOTHER JLO AFFAIR Negroes Hold Up Foreigner and Then Make Escape. The fourth of a series of holdups in Gary, by negroes, occurred yesterday evening on South Broadway, near Fourteenth avenue, at 7 o'clock. The victl rawas Andrew Kornis. a foreigner, who was on his way home from the mills. The two negroes followed him for some distance find near Fourteenth avenue they pounced upon him and struck him over the head with some sharp instrument. Kornis put up a gallant fight and had about bested one of the two assaillants when the other struck him another fearful blow over he head. Kornis fell into the gutter and the two fellows rifled his pockets and made their escape. Fellow workmen of Kornis found him and took him to Dr. Templin's office, where his wounds were dressed. The police kept up an all-night search for the two negroes but have been unable thus far to locate them. They believe they are the two same fellows who were responsible for the other holdops and as th number increases sentiment increases In Gary to run out eery negro of shady character.

Gary Will Be Supplied With Drinking Water From Lake Michigan About the First Part of April From Million Dollar System.

PRESENT SUPPLY GOMES FROM ILLS Inclement Weather Delays Schmidt Bros. Construction Company From worjt on uno anQ -rower iiouse, and Have Been Unable to Work on Building for Some Time. The torrn of Gary will be supplied rvith drinking water from Lake Michi gan In about two months from today, according: to Superintendent William Liiaeombe, of the water department of the Gary- Heat, Water & Light com-1 pany. At that time the million dollar tunnel system and pumping; station will be put into operation, the wells will be abandoned, and this city will have one of the finest water works in the country. April 15 has been set as the day when the water will be turned into the crib at the lake, and after flowing through the tunnel to the pumping station it will be sent through the mains to supply the city for many years to come. May Be Delayed. It may be possible, however, that If the present Inclement weather continues the Schmidt Bros. Construction company will be unable to complete the work on the power house by that time. They have been unable to work on "the building for the past three days, owing to the rain and cold spell, and it may be that the delays will prove serious. The tunnel part of the construction work is now entirely finished, however, and is ready to operate any time that the pumping station in Jecerson park can handle the water. Secured From Wells at Present. At the present time the water for the city is secured from wells which have been bored In the sand near the present pumping station in the mills. There seems to be an unlimited supply of this water, which is also of a better quality than that of the lake, but it Is only the question of a short time until these wells will be inadequate to supply the the demands of the city. It has been asked about the city. whether or not the price of water will be lowered when the waters of Lake Michigan begin to flow through the mains. At the present time, the resi dents of the city are supplied with wa ter at the rate of 30 cents per thousand gallons, and others are given a better rate, according to the proportion of water that they use. This rate at the present time is considered reasonable. owing to the number of consumers at present and the method employed to furnfrsb the water. To An Anxious Inquirer.

BAD STOMACH CURED IN FIFTEEN MINUTES

If reports are authentic, people of Hammond who sufTer from dyspepsia ando ther stomach troubles are getting tired of taking peparations containing ' pepsin, because pepsin simply digests the food artificially. Pepsin relieves, it never cures the principle is wrong the care Is before the horse. And remember, pepsin only digests animal food; it has not effect on starchy food, such as potatoes, rice, oatmeal, bread, etc. There is just one way to cure dyspepsia and stomach disorders, trivial or serious, and that is first to cleanse and purify the stomach and bowels, and to 'tone up and put energy into the stomach walls, so that they will be able to properly mix the food with the natural digestive juices of the stomach.
