Doctors From Many Lake County Cities to Flock to Gary on Tuesday.

Leader of Eespectable Colored Element Ready to Testify Walter Piper Also Arrested.

The Gary Medical society is planning a great time for its next meeting, which -wil Itake place next Tuesday. The society will be honored by the presence of Dr. J. N. Hurty, secretary of the state board of health, and Dr. W. A. Evans, Chicago health expert. Invitations have been extended to both the Lake County Medical society and the Lake County Dental society and it is thought a large number of physicians will be present, as questions of vital importance in regard to the health and sanitation of all cities in the county will be discussed. The subject of the sewarage and the purification of the water supply of the cities will come in for their share of the discussion.

At 1 o'clock the members of the society, under the direction of Superintendent W. A. Gleason, will take their

visiting brother, physicians on a tour of inspection through the- plant of the Indiana Steel company. This, It is thought, will consume about three hours. The afternoon meeting will take place In the : University clubrooms at the Gary hotel. At that time Dr. J. N. Hurty will address the body of physi

cians on the subject of the "Future Hygiene." This meeting is for the

members of the two socities alone.

In the evening at 8 o'clock a public

lecture will be given by Dr. Hurty at

Assembly hall. The subject of Dr

Hurty's lecture will be "The Prevention

and Cure of Tuberculosis," which will

be profusely illustrated by the stereopticon. The discussion will be led by Dr. XV. A. Evans of Chicago, noted health expert, who has done so much good in his work and crusades in Chicago, The evening meeting is free to all and should be attended by every publicspirited citizen in Gary. As many valuable points may be gained in listening to the two above noted speakers. ' The officers of the Gary Medical society are: XV. P. Alexander President. J. E. Metcalf Vice president. C. A. De Long Secretary.

On the eve of the opening of his great

five-cent theater, on the south side, yes

terday afternoon, David Johnson of

Gary was arrested by Sheriff Grant on a warrant charging him with keeping a "disorderly house." Another colored

man who has often been accused of the same misdemeanor, Walter Piper, was taken to Crown Point also, where he will have to account for his record in the higher tribunal. The warrant was sworn out by A. Rodman, a plasterer, living In the south end, who is one of the leaders of the respectable element among the colored people of the city. Rodman had been active in promotin gthe welfare of his people and in driving from the city a class of men such as Johnson and Piper. Are Booked at Crown Point. Rodman made a statement yesterday that he swore out the warranth nn that he swore out the warrants in the upper court because he believed that the case would be handled better in the superior court than it would in Gary. Rodman intends to push it to. a finish

and secure a conviction if possible with

a fine that will amount to something.

Johnson and Piper were taken to

Crown Point by Sheriff Grant and were booked at the Crown Point jail. It is probable that they will secure bail in time for Johnson to get back to Gary

tonight to witness the opening of his new theater on Broadway, which was

formerly a saloon.

People walking down Broadway, in

Gary, yesterday afternoon, shortly aft

er 4 o'clock, experienced all the thrills of a three-ringed circus when a horse,

without any driver, belonging to the Singer Sewing Machine company came racing down the street, causing those on the thoroughfare to beat a hasty

retreat.

Three persons were slightly injured

from the runaway, and many people consider themselves lucky in getting out of the way of the frightened ani

mal as it came down the street. The horL; was driven by Jenks Ostrowski,

the agent of the Singer Sewing Ma

chine company. At Fourth avenue Mr.

Ostrowski stopped his rig to take Sam

uel Sax to his store. As Mr. Sax was!

about to alight from the buggy, near

his place of business, Leonard Fitzgerald, on horseback, came down the street at a gallop and the driver, not noticing the Ostrowski rig, a collision resulted. Fireman Catrhen Runaway. This frightened the Ostrowski horse and the animal started to rear and plunge. Sax, seeing the danger, jumped from the rig and escaped with a few bruises, but Ostrowski, in trying to get control of the broncho, remained in the buggy until he was thrown to the pavement. The frightened animal then started down Broadway, the buggy swerving from side to side. At the corner of Seventh avenue and Broadway the horse turned and the buggy was tipped over, it narrowly escaping striking the plate glass windows in the Sample Furniture company's store. As the horse ran down Seventh avenue another exciting scene took place. Oscar Olsen, the driver of the Gary fire department wagon, came out of the

building', and, seeing the danger or a number of children who were playing

on the street, Olsen grabbed the horse by the bridle and kept his hold until it was brought to a standstill. Olson

was dragged about two hundred feet

and received several bruises as the re

suit. Ostrowski, in falling from the buggy, had his face badly cut and had

to be attended by a physician,

Warrants were sworn out yesterday afternoon for the owners of ten "blind pigs" in Gary, and by 5 o'clock last night five of them had been brought to the station. Those arrested, however, are not former proprietors of salojus but are boarding house keepers of the variety that have disposed of liquor without the necessary licenses, long before the remonstrance was ever tiled before the commissioners. Those brought to the station yesterday afternoon were: Anna Sunritch, Twenty-fifth and Connecticut; Mike Lemich, same address; Pete Nlksitch. Seventeenth and Massachusetts street; Eva Subon, Eighteenth and Massachuett3 street, and Rosie Kootivich, Massa-

chuetts street, near Sevententh. The above gave bond for their appearance

and will be tried this morning in Judgf:

Fitzgerald's court.

No Liquor Confiscated.

No liquor was confiscated yesterday

as it is bought and sold in these places

in small quantities so that it will ap

pear as if they kere keeping it for their own use instead of dealing with

in. Those arrested today will be charg

ed with selling liquor without a license rather than operating a "blind tiger." In this manner it will be possible to secure a conviction at once, where if the case was sent to a higher court it would be necessary to wait nearly a year before trial, and then the probabilities are that the prosecut:ng witne? would have disappeared. The arrest of these foreigners has no bearing on the saloon situation, as they have always operated "blind tigers" and have been arrested repeatedly for this offense ever since they have been in trie city.

(Special to The Times.) Indiana Harbor, Ind., April 17. Two cases of burglary which occurred in Indiana Harbor last night are occupying th attention of the police this morning. The places robbed were the residence of Attorney J. A. Patterson, 3T29 Grapevine street, and the flat occupied by Ed Molinder, over the latter's saloon in Michigan near Parish avenue. The burglars got the biggest haul

from the Patterson residence, where they cleaned up about $150 worth of jewelry and a number of other valu

ables.

Mr. Patterson had spent the early

evening at his office and his wife went

to the lecture at the Auditorium which was given by Rev. Peckham for the benefit of the Christian church. Mrs. Patterson, in company with Mrs. Singer, her neighbor, left the house at 8 p. m., leaving it unoccupied until Mr. Patterson came home shortly before 10 o'clock.

He. was surprised to find the front door unlocked, but did not suspect that

burglars had visited the place until he turned on the lights and found the house upset, drawers ransacked . and the usual confusion that men who work with skeleton keys and jimmys, leave in their trail. The first thing that caught his eye was an elegant ostrich fan of Mrs. Patterson's lying in the middle of the floor. This had evidently been taken by the thieves, but discarded on their way out. He went through the house and found the contents of dresser drawers strewn over the floors in , the bedrooms, and then he became convinced that the place had been entered. He notified the police and Officer Mike Gorman came to the house and investigated, in the hopes of finding some clew as to the identity of the burglars. Nothing was left behind, however, that would serve to give the police an idea of whom to arrest. The jewelry stolen included one piece that was priceless in the eyes of its owners, not so much for its intrinsic value, as for its history. This was a heavy seal ring made from gold which had been dug sixty years ago by Mr. Patterson's father during the California
