Aggressive Real Estate Man in Gary Disposes of Three Valuable Lots Consider

ation for the Property Amounts to $5,750. For the past week there has been

one particularly active real estate man in Gary and his name ia T. W. Engle

hart. During the past week Mr. Eng-

lehart Is accredited with the follow

ing sales:

Ont lot, 75x125, northwest corner of

Chicago avenue and Massachusetts street, sold to Samuel R. Deitzell of Gowrle, Iowa. Consideration, $2,500 cash.

One lot, Jackson Park addition to

Gar, to John Conaway of Martins Ferry, Ohio. Consideration, $2,500.

One lot on Chicago avenue, near

Broadway, sold to M. J. Loomls of Chi

cago. Consideration, $750.

Mr. Englehart has also disposed of

a three-fourths Interest In a subdivision which he recently purchased frorri the old Wehner estate, at a handsome profit. One-half Interest in this subdivision was sold to Henry G. Solem of Baltic, S. D., and a fourtH interest was sold to David E. Davis of the auditing department of Rothschild's company, Chicago. This property will now be cut up into lots and placed on the market. Mr. Englehart also intends to do some building on his property in the vicinity of the Ridge Road and Broadway. He has already had plans and specifications drawn for a two-story brick and store building, to be located at the northeast corner of Ridge Road and Broadway. He will also erect four new houses, two of them to be located on Connecticut street and two on Pennsylvania avenue, between Thirtysixth and Thirty-seventh avenues.

GARY CITY FATHERS EXTEND THEIR JUNKET

C O. Holmes, who recently returend from Indianapolis, reports that the city officials, John Sears, Millard Caldwell and T. E. Knotts, are all In Indianaplis, but will probably return to Gary

today, i This trip by the town board was made originally for the purpose of inspecting fire engines in the cities of Columbus and Vincennes. but the party wound up at the state capital where they stopped for a few days to watch the court battle which Is now being waged. Up to the time that Mr. Holmes left Indianapolis the members of the board had not decided upon the kind of fire engines to be used by the city. They, however, are seriously considering the automobile engine, upon the recommendation of Chief Feeley of the fire department, who says that it is the only modern thing to use. The three engines manufactured in Columbus, Vincennes and Indianapolis, were all carefully Inspected and It may

be that one of these will be purchased in the near future. It is likely that the engine would have to be ordered soon if they can be assured of a delivery before the fire department is ready to move into their new quarters in the building now being erected. Mr. Holmes also said that he thought the superior court bills would come to their second reading today in the house.

TIMES' BUREAU AT TFIE STATE CAPITAL.

(Special to The Times.) Indianapolis, Ind., Feb. 13. Speak

er Honan had to almost fight, yesterday, to have his own way on the ques

tion of adjourning the house until Monday. Several of the easy-going members who do not care much whether school keeps or not wanted to adjourn until Monday at 10 o'clock. But speaker Honan told them no, that

they must meet today and tranastc

business. They objected, he insisted. He told them plainly that there should

be no more fooling around and they should either play ball or get off the

lot. And he had his way about it, and there was a session this forenoon, but none this afternoon. The speaker has more than 100 bills on his desk ready to be handed down for second or third reading, and he understands fully that unless the members attend to business they will not get much done. He did not propose to quit when there was a lot of work to do. In the senate, however, it was different. Some one made a motion to adjourn and it was carried without much of a stir. Senate Will Punh It Along. Everybody in the senate, yesterday.

was surprised when Lieutenant Governor Hall handed down the Tomlinson bill and referred it to the committee on public morals. This is the liquor bill that passed the house Thursday along toward night. It was sent to the senate yesterday and no time was lost in getting the senate machinery busy with It. There seems to be a disposition now to push it along as rapidly as possible, because a good many of the members of both houses are tired of having the saloon

question before them week after week as the "paramount issue." They want to get at something else, but up to this time there has been little chance for anything else because the saloon bill was in the way and occupied about all of the time and attention. Repeal Still Very Uncertain. There is good reason to believe, as has been stated before, that the senate will trim off the amendment made

in the house to permit the granting of licenses to road-house saloons within four miles of a city, make the license fee a straight $1,000 and then passd. the .bill. If it passes the senate In that form and come back to the house It may Or may not get through the house in that shape. Some of the' democrats of the house are opposed to the bill without the road-house feature, and if one or two votes were to be lost it would kill the bill. So there is no certainty yet that the local option law will be repealed. There are two democratic senators who will stand pat against repealing the law. They are McCarty and Tilden. On the other hand there are four republicans who are counted on to vote for the repeal. They are Wood, Gonnerman, Durre and Orndorf. But it is not yet certain hat either Wood or Gonnerman will vote that way. They will in

sist on a high license feature in the bill, and if it is not placed there they may oppose it. The general understanding is that the Tomlinson bill will be reported out

of the senate committee early next week and that it will be forced to passage as rapidly as possible. People to Vote on Francbines. Representative Hewig of Evansville introduced a bill yesterday that is likely to attract a good deal of attention. His bill proposes that whenever a franchise for any public utility is ask

ed for from a city the question or whether it shall be granted shall be submitted to a vote of the people. If the people vote for it the franchise would be granted. If a majority voted no it would not be granted. This bill is in direct opposition to the public utilities bills that have been introduced by Garrard, the democratic floor leader of the house, would take away from

the city entirely any control over the matter of franchises and vast exclusive power in that direction in the railroad commission. This commission

would have power to grant a franchise to any corporation that might wish to establish a water, gas, electric light,

telephone, telegraph or other kind of a

plant in any city without asking the

citizens or the city officers whether they want it or not. Not only that, but the commission would have power to

grant any such company the right to

raise its rates to any point.

Under this Garrard bill if a com

pany had a franchise that It did not like it could go to the commission and surrender the franchise without even

the consent of the city am? receive from the commission an indeterminate permit to go ahead and do business

and sell its gas, water, electricity or whatever it made at any price that the

commission might fix. Thus, all con

trol of public utilities would be taken away from the cities themselves, and

the cities would lose whatever Income

it may be receiving from such cor

porations. If a competing company

wished to establish a plant in a city

where one of the same kind already

was in existence it would have to ask

the commission and. the commission

could let it in or keen it out. Thus

would competition be effectually stran gled.

This bill was prepared by attorneys

for the Indianapolis Gas company

whose franchise in this city expire

within the next year, and which can

not get a new franchise unless it takes

it under the law that requires it to sell gas at 60 cents per 1,000, the same

as the Citizens' Gas company charges.

WANTED 1,000 more men to use The Times want ads every night and see how good they are.

But it is a general law and, if tine bills

passes, it will apply to the entire state,, and every city, that town that has a public utility company, would be affected by it, for the people would then ba at the absolute mercy of these corporations. Surprise has been expressed that Garrard would take Tiold of a bill of this kind. He is the democratic floor

leader. The democratic platform did

not declare for such a public utilities law and Governor Marshall does not believe that a public utilities' commission is needed now. Garrard is putting in a lot of his time pushing this bill and in this course he Is embarrassing the democrats of the hou3e. Some of them are complaining about it.

They say such a bill Is un-democratlc because it aims to put the people abso

lutely in the power of corporations. A

red-hot fight is being made againstithe

bill. Road Bill Yesterday. Yesterday seemed to be road bill day in the house. Among the road bills introduced yesterday were these: The county surveyor shall do thework now done by the county engineer. Against building a gravel road wflthin a mile of a county line road un

less the line road is graveled. To permit farmers to build a road a half mile in length without cost to the county. To make the road supervisor the road superintendent and providing flor the election of road superintendent In townships that have forty miles of road. To prevent the scraping of roads 'in the winter months. Gary Bill Ready for Passage. Yesterday was court day, also, In the house. The red-hot fight between Linton and Bloomfleld took a new turn yesterday, when the bill to create a superior court at Linton and Sullivan advanced to third reading and

the bill to make separate circuits of

Green and Sullivan counties for circuit court purposes was killed. The bill for an additional superior court

judge at Hammond was advanced to

engrossment and the bill for a su

perior court at Gary was sent to third

reading. A favorable report was made on a bill to make Howard county a

separate circuit. The Linton and Gary

bills are ready for passage.

The senate yesterday passed a road

bill that will be hailed with delight by the farmers of the state. The bill

changed the three-mile road law so

that when fifty property owners of a

township petition for the building of

a road not more than three miles in length, the cost to be charged to the entire township, it shall be discre

tionary with the commissioners wheth

er they grant the petition or not. And

they shall not grant It if fifty prop

erty owners petition against it. Un

der the present law when fifty prop

erty owners petition for such a road

the commissioners are obliged to order it built. This three-mile road law has caused more trouble and more indignation that any other road law

ever placed on the books In Indiana, and at this session there has been

a wild demand for its repeal.

(Special to The Times.)

Indiana Harbor. Ind.. Feb. 13. The

centennial anniversary of the birth o Abraham Lincoln was fittingly cele

brated in the Harbor last evening when

a program of unusual merit was given

under the auspices of the East Chi

cago public school system. About two

hundred persons, aside from the schoo

pupils, attended the program, and it

excellence is attested to by the showers

ot praise that followed its rendition

The program bespoke admiration

the martyred president's life In its ev

ery phase and even the most critical

could not help commending the parti

cinants upon the success of their ef

forts.

National anthems were rendered by

the audience and the various schoo

chorpses. and as additional musical

numbers, not on the program. Mrs. M.

C. Frysinger rendered several delight

ful instrumental solos. Idras James, East Chicago's young singer, astonished the audience by his- musical ability and won the applause of all by the

manner in which he rendered "Amer

ica." The invocation was delivered by Rev. F. J. Brown of the First Congregational church of East Chicago and the benediction by Rev. J I. P. Ivey of the Indiana Harbor M. E. denomination. Attorney J. D. Kennedy of East Chicago was permanent chairman for the evening and in response to a brief speech of Introduction by Superintendent E. M. Canine, gave an interesting talk on "The Child Life of Lincoln." Mr. Kennedy has made a particular tsudy of the life of this greatest of American patriots and handled his theme with the ability of one well versed In his subject. Attorney T. M. C. Hembroff delivered an address on "Lincoln, the Lawyer and Orator," while Rev. H. P. Ivey,

in the. absence of Rev. Palmer, of East Chicago, spoke briefly on "Lincoln, the Man." Rev. Ivey emphasized the need

o capitalizing all three letters of the

word MAN. "Lincoln was born a man,'

he declared. "Many human beings are born men, but sell their birthright for

a mess of pottage. Lincoln did not."
