Gary -Institution Announces
Musical Event for March. . .
Miss Susan Drought of the new Conservatory of Music, located on the
second floor of the Feuer building, an
nounce that the conservatory will
give a public reception in March, probably in the Gary hotel. This will be
for the purpose of bringing: the peo
ple of Gary In closer touch with the
institution and Its instructors.
"We are doing much more work in Gary than we expected," said Miss
Drousrht yesterday, "and we look for
a very bright future for our school.
At the present time there are not very many people in Gary In a postion to
iiIta ftflvantaee of the training, but
there undoubtedly will be as soon as
the. people- get eettled."
Miss Drought is also a member of the. faculty of the American Conserva
tors of Music In Chicago. She spends
two days out of the week in Gary.
There are a total of five instructors In the school and all of them are kept busy all of the time that they are in
Gary.
It is probable that in the near future the Gary institution may blossom out lntoa full fledged conservatory . of music and dramatic art, for at the present time the instructors are working individually, although their stu
dents are taught in the same rooms.

Charles Aretz, 23 years old, employed
in the construction work of the Indi
ana Steel company, was instantly killed
yesterday afternoon in an eighty-foot
fall from the top of blast furnace No.
5. A short-time afterward two hundred
bollermakers, from sympathy for their dead fellow workman, laid down their tools and walked from the plant, .not
to return that day.
The fall which Aretz received broke
nearly every bone of his back and neck,
upon wnicn ne janaea. lie ten upon a smooth cement surface and resulted in little cutting up, of the body. He was
no an employe of the Indiana Steel
company, but was hired by the RIghter
& Connely company, which have the contract for the construction of the
furnaces.
The unfortunate victim was working
at the time of his fall 3 o'clock on
top of the furnace. He was walking
around on some of the scaffolding at the time when one end of the board
tilted and he was precipitated to the
ground. The exact height was eighty-
five feet. His comrades at once rushed
to his assistance but they found that life was extinct, as his neck had been
broken by the fall. The ambulance was then called and he was removed
to Jones' morgue.
Fellow Workers Quit.
One of the most pathetic incidents of the case was the fact that when the
death of their fellow workman became known among the . men they at once
laid down their tools and left the mills,
They refused to continue their work during the remainder of the day. All
or them were members or the same union that the victim was and expect
to assist in the funeral tomorrow.
Aretz resides in Indiana Harbor and is a married man with a child about six weeks old. The young wife was
almost frantic with grief when sh
learned of her husband's death. The Inquest will be held by Coroner Gordon
of Hobart tomorrow morning, afte
which the body will be shipped at once
to Pittsburg, where he has a numbe
of relatives. He also has a stepfather at Indiana Harbor, named George
Glars.

GAGLE'S CLUTCHES
(Continued from Page One.)
Special Officer W. P. Rea, who is
employed by the city of Gary to In
vestigate the attendance In the pub
lic schools and investigate other matters in connection with school chil
dren, reported today that he had discovered a family with children in the
most deplorable condition.
Among other things Officer Rea said
that he found these people, Samuel
Robert Hecht and family, residing in the same room with the following ani
mals: two horses, one cow, one mule, and one calf. These were all housed together in a room the size of which by actual measurement was 16x32 feet. The stench in the room, according to Officer Rea, was almost unbearable and
the place was too dirty to keep an ani
mal properly.
The matter first came to the atten
tion of the special officer when one of the teachers in the publlo schools. Miss Clara Anchors, located at Four
teenth and Broadway, reported that two of her children were so unclean
ly that she could not permit them to
remain in the room with the rest of
her scholars any longer. Rea was
then sent to investigate the conditions.
Human and Animals in One Room.
The damp, dirty little shack where
the six children were housed, was
found on the corner of Eighteenth and Georgia streets. The building was constructed by Hecht himself, upon property which he did not own. He
is In the teaming business and kept two horses and the mule with which he worked, in a stall in the same shack
as that which he lived. Right by the
side of these were the cow and the
calf.
The shack had no floor, and the chil
dren sat around the place on the cold,
damp sand. Their ages ranged from
2a years old to' a boy 19 years old.
Only two of the six children attended school. The only ventilation in the
little building was a window at one end, eighteen inches square. This let but little light Into the shack. All of the children were dirty, unkept and
unfed, and the smallest one looked
sickly and pale.
In other shacks in the vicinity Of
ficer liea found conditions almost as bad. In one place he found a goat under the dining room table, and in another place he found the family raising ducks and geese In the same room that they lived in. He also
found that their drinking water was
bad and that they we're all improperly fed. Rea will report the matter to
Health Officer Templln, who will make an investigation at once and improve
the conditions.

time," she said, and her objections was voiced by an older daughter, Mary,
who is 19 years of age. Gagle then suggested that both the girls accom
pany him to Gary, Ind., and the matter was finally compromised by allowing Lizzie to accompany him to the steel city with the promise that the older daughter could also accept employment in the restaurant should It prove congenial to her sister. The couplet one a trusting and confiding child and the other a very brute In human form, left this city about 9 o'clock on that Saturday morning. At 2 o'clock in the
afternoon the child returned, her cheeks and nervous from the persistent attacks of the ruffian. The story told to the family at the supper table that night was one of thanksgiving over her narrow escape. Walk Toward Tolleston. After leaving the house she declared that Gagle tried to induce her to walk to Gary. She refused to do this, de
claring that she had money enough to pay the car fare. Gagle, on the way
to the steel town, told stories of his great prospects, promised the girl that
If she served him faithfully she would want for nothing. They left the train at Gary and started on their event
ful journey. A well-beateri path was I
followed, leading toward Tolleston and despite the fact that Gagle had asserted that the restaurant was but a few feet from the interurban station.
a mile walk was accomplished before
Miss Brown began to suspei "uything.
Where are we going. In . this a
long walk," she asked, and Gagle re
plied that he was merely going to the
farm of an uncle, pear Tolleston, where ha would get a supply of fresh meat
for the restaurant.
Ills Plans) Are Frustrated. Miss Brown believed him and fol
lowed quietly until a stretch of wooded land was reached. "Several times
he would grasp my arm and pinch me," said Miss Brown yesterday, "and
when I would struggle away from him
he would look at me and laugh so queerly." Intimidation was then re
sorted to, Gagle using such expressions as "See, there's where I killed a nigger," as he pointed to a cave near the
side of the road. Miss Brown was then thoroughly alarmed "and refused to go
any further, upon which Gagle swore at her and struck her several times.
The child's loud cries attracted the at
tention of a Pennsylvania railroad tow
erman, for the couple had now reached
the Pennsylvania tracks between Tol
leston and Gary.
Visits East Chicago Second Time. The towerman heard the girl's story
with interest and threatened to have Gagle arrested unless he leave the girl alone. Gagle made a hurried remark
about the "police knowing him too
well" and then took to his heeds. The ! towerman then gave the child, car fare with which to return to East j Chicago." j Gagle still persisted in visiting the j Brown home, for the night after his j attempted attack the child saw him i passing in front of her house. She im- i mediately called her mother's attention 1 to the man. The girl'3 brother, John I Brown, who is about 20 years erf age, put on his hat and went cut to interview the stranger. As soon as Brown approached Gagle, the latter commenced
, to run and succeeded In evading his pursuer by disappearing in the bushes j near Harbor Junction, j Sees Victim from Car Window. i A few days later Miss Brown was on an interurban car between East Chicago and Indiana Harbor and saw I Gagle standing at the door of the Harbor Junction station. He had with him a girl in a brown dress. "I tried to
I get out of the car and warn the girl
not to go with him," said Miss Brown yesterday, "but was too frightened to ' move." The car started before she eould recover her senses sufficiently to act, and Gagle succeeded In leading another young girl to the scene of his other assaults.

Means Rosy Cheeks, Clear Complexion, Birght Eyes and Plenty of Energy. What does rich, red blood mean? It means brains, vitality, ambition, hope
fulness, persistency, and everything worth living for. Bu you can't have rich, red blood if your digestion Is Imperfect; and your digestion is certainly imperfect if you have sour stomach, bad taste in mouth, lump of lead after eating, belching of gas and nervousness. So far-reaching is the effect Of Indigestion, that many times the eyesight is affected. If you have indigestion or any symptom of stomach distress or agony, Summers' pharmacy will sell you a mighty remedy for 50 cents, and guarantee It to cure or money back. The remedy Is called Ml-o-na. Its powerful, reconstructive action on the stomach is little short of marvelous. It tones up, strengthens and puts new life and energy into the worn-out stomach In a few days. It cures by removing the cause. If you are a sufferer, try a large BO-cent box. It's a small price to pay for banishing indigestion.
Mi-o-na is sold by druggists In every
town in America, and by Summers'
pharmacy in Hammond for BO cents a

Out of the discovery of a young girl, bound, gagged nd wounded in a score of places, in a bathroom; in the Wellington hotel In Chicago yesterday morning has grown a bizarre story of tragic misfortune seldom equaled in fiction. The principal in the. case is Ella Gingles, eighteen years old, a pretty manufacturer of Irish 'iace, who, until a few weeks ago was employed in a lace shop in the hotel. Not the least remarkablje feature of the girl's grotesque story is th fact that some of the most important of her assertions iiot only lack substantiation, but ar in direct variance with the known facts. So prominent did these discrepancies between her statememts and actual facts become upon investigation, that CaptJn P. D. O'Brien of the detective bureau, at last announced that he had decided doubts as to her story. In short, the police official announced tlmt the whole affair looked like the. most remarkable "frame up" that ever came to his attention.

Gary Prisoner Choses Be tween Fine and Suit. William Courtney, employed in th
mills at Gary, was forced to buy him
self a new suit or else pay the court
1 and costs for having been found guilty of drunkenness.
Courtney was arrested yesterday
afternoon and still had ?la in his pos
session. He said that if he were permitted to go unpunished he would go to Chicago at once. Justice Fitzgerald, however, was not satisfied with such an excuse, and believing that
Courtney would spend the rest of the money, consequently gave him the alternative of paying his fine or buying a "hand-me-down." Courtney, with an eye for business, chose the latter course and invested $10.
We take great pleasure in announcing that we have purchased, remodeled and enlarge! the bakery located at 84 State Street, Hammond, Indiana. Under the new management, the finest bread, rolls and pastries are being made and the best possible service given our esteemed patrons. nLiberal measure and reasonable prices" is our motto. We solicit the patronage of all. We are here to serve all promptly and satisfactorily.
