LOSING GBOOBDKV
Laborers for Court Bill Will Not Say Die, Until the- Legislature Adjourns Eope to Pass Measure Over Governor's Veto Expect No Opposition in Senate.
Mayor E. Knotts of Gary last night returned to Indianapolis, where ho, together with the other Gary representatives, will make the last stand In the fight to secure a superior court for Gary and pass the court bill over the governor's veto. Before leaving for the capital Mr. Knotts expressed himself as being more hopeful. Only five more days remain of the present session of legislature and . no bill can be passed after Friday afternoon's session, unless Governor Marshall calls a special session, which he is not likely to do. The Gary delegation is confident that it can secure a majority in the senate and their only hope seems to be that in the rush of other legislative matters they may secure the necessary vote in the house.. The trading of votes on the Tomlinson bill may also materially aid the Gary court bill in securing a majority, but it is not thought this is necessary, as it is said on the Tomlinson measure they have a sufficient number without Gary's vote.. The Crown Point bill will probably never get out of the house.. As the time is now so short and as the bill has just left the house committee, it ia not thought that it will reach .the final roll. Attorney John B. Peterson of the County seat left for Indianapolis this morning, where he will remain until the close of the legislature. The Crown Point attorneys feel that Senator Bowser could easily aid them in putting their bill through the senate, but they are not looking toward this end, as Bowser is working .strenuously for the Gary bill.

Singular Death Takes Place in Whiting Last Night.
TIMES BIRKAl' AT STATE CAPITOL. Indianapolis, Ind., March 1. Representative Wiclrey, of Lake county, has introduced a bill that will arouse the Ire of telephone companies throughout the state. The bill would require that where two or more telephone companies operate exchanges in the same city of territory they shall make connections of the lines so that a subscriber to one company may be able to get a connection with a subscriber of the other company. This arrangement, it was pointed out, would be a great convenience to the public and it would
cut down the number of telephones in use, for then there would be no need of a subscriber having a phone of each company when he could get the same connection with one phone. But the bill was introduced so late in the ses
sion that it does not stand any show
of getting through.

ftlURPHY IS ARRESTED East Chicago Police Chief Finds Parallel Case to Hammond Police.
(Special to Thb Times.) East Chicago, Ind., March 1. Ignatz Murphy, DO years old, 160 Dearborn avenue, and his wife, Nina, 45 years old, were arrested by Detective O'Keefe
of the South Chicago police station late yesterday afternoon at Ninetysecond street and Commercial avenue on a charge of obtaining money by means of false pretenses. Chief of Police Hig'gins of East Chicago, Ind., notiiifd the police that several business men in that town had been defrauded by making payments on newspaper advertisements which never appeared in papers by which Murphy and his wife said they were employed. It is understood that the arrest was made at the instance of W. Moberly of the Indiana Harbor Sentinel. Murphy was soliciting advertising for an industrial edition of The Sentinel, and it was alleged that he did not turn in $70 or $80 that he collected. After his arrest he and Moberly talked the matter over and the Indiana Harbor editor decided not to prosecute him. At first it was thought that Murphy was another name for Gowdy, the Hammond man, who was representing the American Federation of Labor of Labor Press, but it was discovered that it was entirely a different person.
(Special to The Times.) ,W'hiting, Ind., March 1. On his way to celebrate the departure of his friend, and accompanied by his wife and son, Conrad Miller, 49 years old, who lived
at One Hundred and Eighteenth street j and Laporte avenue, dropped dead last !
night only a short distance from his '
home. At the coroner's inquest this afternoon heart trouble will in all probability be assigned as the cause of Mr. Miller's death. Mr. Miller's sudden death has caused a shock' to his many " friends here and the people who intended to give a farewell party at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Goebel in honor of Charles Pink, came to the Miller home as courners. Mr. Miller was employed in the Standard Oil plant as a lead burner, and it is thought that the gas and
poisonous fumes from the molten metal speeded his death. Yesterday afternoon he attended the Tuneral of Miss Minnie AV.aldo.rf,. the latter's parents and the ' Millers having been good friends. After the funeral the Millers made arrangements to . go to the farewell party: Mr. Miller and his onlyson; Kred. had ' prepared the ice cream and carried freezer. between them.: They had only crossed 'the street when the father asked the son that . the freezer be' set down. HardV was this done when the father "felt" prostrate across the bucket. The- funeral has not been arranged yet, but it .will be in charge"' of the Modern Woodmen. He was also a member of the Mutual Benefit and Aid society of the Standard Oil plant.

IU66IE DODGES BULLET Lodges in Floor Instead of Her Head, So no Arrests Are Made. The Gary' police investigated an alleged shooting scrape, in which Pevich is supposed to have shot at Maggie Dolan in a saloon in the South Side district while he 'was under the influence of intoxicating liquors. The matter was investigated by Serbeants Catey and Mulanhey, and they did not think the trouble wag sufficient to warrant the arrest of the principals. Maggie Dollan was unscathed and the bullet was found in the floor. " This is but one of the many affairs of the kind that are continually taking place in the south side resorts in Gary.
GRIFFITH BOOH STARTS
Real Estate Activity Marked by Sale of Lots.
Is
(Special to The Times.) Griffith, Ind., March 1. It is becoming" quite evident even to those who "having eyes and see not," that Griffith is destined to be of much importance in Lake county in the near future. The boorn has already begun. If the sale of lots is any criterion, and Fred Gastel, Jr., has the credit of being the " energetic pusher, who has set things going. 1 He recently secured control of the Mctt addition, lying close to the middle of town, and in two days last week disposed of more than fifty lots to nearly as many different investors. A number of the investors were men won live here and some are already property owners, which indicates that those who know the town best have much confidence In It. It is rumored that three other real estate men are negotiating for a large tract in the west part of town, which if the deal goes through, will be put on the market.
(Special to The Times.) Indiana Harbor, Ind., March 1. The next time that John Zuka extends an invitation to a party, of gentlemen to "name their poison" he will be more explicit. He lies today in his boarding house on Pennsylvania avenue with a fractured skull, as a result of asking his friends to have a drink in John Mika's saloon. There was such a wild scramble for the bar that Sam Tonica and Nick Ponca became involved in an altercation. Nick gripped a fat beer schooner and playfully threw it at Sam's head. Sam clucked neatly and the fearful missile caught Mr. Zuka in the side of the head. Denonement Mr. Zuka to the floor. Sam and Nick hotfot out of the -saloon in waiting arms of Officers Gorman, Hughes and Truedale. Arrested and taken to police station. Bound over awaiting the condition of Zuka.
BUYS SOUTH PARK ADO.
J. II. Cooley, one of Gary's pioneer
residents, has purchased a tract of land
in Section 32 from California parties,
approximating $10,000.
The property in question lies south
of the Calumet river near Broadway
and is over 100 feet higher than Lake Michigan. It lies on a high ridge and
will make an excellent residence dis
trict. It will be subdivided at once bv
Mr. Cooley, as the First South Park addition to Gary and then the lots will be placed on the market. Of late there seems to be a gradual tendency among the real estate dealers to secure lands south of Gary tind all indications point to the fact that this, in time, will be the residence district of the new steel city.
Rensselaer Bank Wrecker
Must Serve His Full Sentence!
Valparaiso, Ind., March -1 . The habeas corpus proceedings brought by Thomas .1. McCoy, the former Rensselaer banker, for release from the northern Indiana penitentiary under the good behavior act of 1S83. was decided
adversely to him by Judge H. B. Tut-
hill, of the Forter-LaPorte superior court, who rendered his opinion Saturday morning. Judge Tuthill holds that the laws controlling prison sentences, management, good time and parole constitute a code or system; that in 1S97 the "general assembly changed the theretofore rule of giving good time merely for proper conduct while confined, and established a new one founded primarily on-reformation and also revolutionized the whole code of management, that when the intent of the general assembly evidently" is to reconstruct a system of law on any subject it is not necessary there should be inconsistency ami repugnancy between the new and the old in order that by inference the latter repeal th eformer by, implication. The case will doubtless be appealed to the supreme court.

URBAN M 111 STRONGJOHPEiniON Has Furnished Easy Access to Ham
mond, East Chicago and Indiana Harbor Opening of New Loop Promises to Bring Back Much of the Old Patronage. It is rumored in Gary that within thei. next two or three weeks the Lake Shore railroad will start its loop line suburban service from Gary to Chicago, via the Gary & Western. The Gary & Western line has been completed for some time and the trainmen have been expecting orders for pome time to run on the new road. It is expected that when the Gary & Western is put in operation that the people ot Gary will have the best suburban service of any city in the region to Chicago. The loop formed by the new track is an extension of the Hammond-Chicago loop service, the new road meeting the old tracks in tha vicinity of Gibson. The Gary & Western, like the Lake Shore, is elevated through the city, and passes through the city a short distance north of the Michigan Central tracks. It then runs several blocks west, curves to the north until it meets the old Lake Shore tracks which run direct to Chicago. It is said that the business of the Lake Shore has materially decreased since the advent of the electric line running from Gary to East Chicago, Indiana Harbor and Hammond. Many of their passengers which they carried since the town starter are now traveling on that line because of the convenience of its time table.. When the Lake Shore starts to run on its suburban schedule, however, they will be better able to compete with the inter-urban.
