REPAIR GARY SEWER UaVing m OI XSranCn OI .Dig Sewer Causes Some Apprehension. A squad of workmen were put to work yesterday to repair the sewer which caved in near Broadway and Sixteenth street, owing to the heavy Mood of water which proved too heavy a pressure. The sloughs in the vicin ity were all dammed up so that their waters could be diverted temporarily and the whirlpool around the broken sewer, which carried with it tons of dirt and sand, was stopped. The cause of the breakage in the big sewer has not been determined as yet. and City Engineer Melton would not say yesterday afternoon whether the sewer should have been able to withstand the pressure or not. It is his belief, however, that the cave-in of the sewer was unavoidable and that It was entirely over-taxed. A watchman waH put on over the place continually to prevent curious persons being injured by a further cave-in of the sand and dirt. It is believed that to avoid trouble of this characted in the future a ditch will be constructed to Thirteenth street where the water will be drained off into the main sewer instead of taxing the locals with the tons of pressure. Ihis ditch could be constructed at a nominal cost and ould permanently solve the problem. The break in the sewer will be repaired at once. JUREO 111 CHICAGO R. G. Cough, Mercy Hospi tal Employe, Meets With Mishap. One of the employes of the Mercy hospital, R. G. Cough, was injured In Chicago yesterday noon while attempt ing to alight from a street car and suf fered a broken leg beside other minor bruises. Mr. Cough was taken into a store nearby where he was cared for until he could be taken to the Lake Shore depot and brought to Gary. In bringing Mr. Cough to Gary three trains, which they Intended to take were missed, and he was not landed in this city until the 7 o'clock train. Each Iake Shore train was met by Gormley's amulance. When he arrived he was taken to the Mercy hospital where Dr. Templin was sent for and the injured man was cared for. Four Runners. Four Marathon runners, who are entered in the race to be run in this city Saturday, May 1. were in Gary yesterday for the purpose of running over the course. They wore not able to do so. because of the fact that the road leading to the Urofyiway bridge was washed out. They intend to return as soon as the course is open again and try it out. Samuel Sax of the firm of Sax & Savage has offered $5 worth of merchandise to the member of the Gary h.gh school who finishes first in the race, as an additional inducement for them to run. Engineers Galore. Four lmndreil and fifty members of the American Society of Electrical Engineers and the Western Society of Engineers came to Gary on the Lake Shore train at 11:45 this morning and will be taken through the mills this afternoon. A Witty Revivalist. A revivalist in Carterville enlivens his addresses with such anecdotes as this: "An old woman shouted in the revival. Her husband said: 'I felt like going through the floor.' She replied: 'And I felt like going through the roof.' Each was attracted home." Kansas City Star

Girl Arrested in South Bend Tells Story Coinciding With That of Mrs. Nugent of a. Few Weeks Ago; Brothers Heavily Fined. IS THE VICTIM OF Sold Her Into Slavery, Collecting Blood Money From Her and Blackmailing Men Who Compromised Themselves By Becoming Ac quainted With Her. In publishing the story of the arrest of Mabel Farn of South Bend and her two brothers, who are believed to have been involved In a blackmailing plot. the mystery surrounding the disap pearance of Mabel Nugent from Gary a few weeks ago Is solved; the two per sons are Identical. The maiden name of Mrs. NuRrent was Farn and it was her two brothers who were trying to ffet her to a convent in Detroit, on wnicn tney utusru no utu uticuoc iyi the blackmailing scheme, which was nipped in the bud. Several weeks ago the report spread about the city that the woman who had killed herself in a rooming house and who was known as Mrs. Smith, was Mabel Nugent, but this has since been disproved. Upon the arrest of Mabel Farn the entire matter has been clear ed up. As a result of their arrest In South Bend George Farn has been fined 50 and committed to the county Jail, and Fred was fined $100 and released on suspended sentence and ordered to leave the city. Mabel Nugent, alias Farn. wil lbe sent today to the House of the Good Shepherd at Indianapolis. The police of South Bend declare that they have positive evidence George Farn has been living oft the earnings of his sister and that he brought her from Gary to South Bend for that pur pose. The plan, tne detectives claim was to make her acquainted with men then blackmail the victims and demand part of her ill gotten gains. Farn claimed that he was trying to get his sister to a convent in Detroit. Her Story a Sad One. The story of Mabel Nugent, from the Gary end. was one of the most pitiful cases that has been brought to the at tentton of the police. Here she was arrested on statutory charges and lat er released on her plea of Innocence, when she related a story of having been forced by her own family to mar ry a man whom she did not love. Judge Fitzgerald, who tried the case, showed as much clemency as possible and re leased her on condition that she would go to work. This she agreed to do bu refused to live with her husband again She kept her word in every respect. After her release Airs. Tvugent re neatedly complained that her family was hounding her to desperation be cause she would not live with her hus band and threatened to send her to convent. She finally disappeared from Gary after working several weeks a the Jefferson hotel and nothing wa heard from her until she was arreste under her maiden name, Farn. It not believed that her brothers intende to take her to Detroit when they left Gary. Gary Mayor Believes His Assessments Should Be Reduced. Mayor Thomas E. Knotts of Gary one or the chief backers of the Burn dch project, and who lent his infiuenc in making it a success at a time when the plan seemed doomed, has filed a re monstrance against the assessment of benefits for both his individual Interests and the town of Gary. Mr. Knotts' purpose, however, is not to defeat the construction of the ditch but to have his assessments reduced in proportion to those of the railroads and other interests In the event that they are successful in their remonstrances. Mr. Knotts waited until the last hour for the filing of his remonstrance, hoping that the remonptra nces would be so small that it would not necessitate his taking any action. When the railroads began filing their papers, however, and he saw that they would make a serious attempt to prevent paying their assessments. Mr. Knotts thought it only right that the city and himself should not be taxed In any greater proportion than the corporations. Mr. Knotts not orjly believes that the the railroads have no right to object to their assessments, but based his own remonstrance on the fact that they were awarded damages for the necessity of constructing bridges when he believes they are not entitled to It. If all of the remonstrators were to drop their cases Mr. Knotts would be willing to do the same for himself and the city.

EAGLES BIG EVEIIT

AT HARBOR SUNDAY Splendid Program of High Class Artists Has Been Secured. HEAT PROMISED SPECTATORS Affair Will Take Place at the Au ditorium In Indiana Harbor. (Special to The Times.) Indiana Harbor. Ind., April 24. The date of the Eagles' big annual enterainmnt Is at hand. The event to which all Ka.it Chicago and Indiana Harbor have been looking forward with most pleasurable anticipation, not unmixed wit hcuriosity, will take place tomorrow evening at the Auditorium. Heretofore the Eagle shave content ed themselves with giving a ball once every year, that eclipsed almost anything in that line in local circles. This year the local aerie. No. 1127, decided to go out of the beaten path they have established and do something original and uniqu. Following out this Idea the committee hit upon a vaudeville, and the result will be that Indiana Harbor and East Chicago will be treated to something the like of which ts citizens have never ben privileged to witness before, without taking a train for Chicago or Indianapolis. All of the artists are strictly highclass performers who are wont to perform in some of the best metropolitan houses In the country. The program includes such wellknown artists as Billy McDermott, eccentric comedian, one of the late fea tures at the American Music Hall, Chi cago. Zelma Wheeler, singing and dancing soubrette, who has entertained the patrons of the better class of houses throughout the larger cities for several seasons. Wells Bros., comedy blackface musical comedians. In a roaring musical sketch. Doyle and Lamb, singers and buck and wing dancers par excellence. Major O'Laughlin, baton swinger and Juggler, Is another of the features to be seen. Olive Greatrex, society's favorite wsitler. Prof Wassman, magician. Marceline D'Montaigu, vocalist and comedienne, will also be among the artists that will en tertain the Eagles' guests tomorrow night. Seldom, If ever, has the outlook been so promising for success, even with the Eagles, as it is for this event. It appears that every man, woman and child In the community holds a ticket. That patrons will have the full worth of their money goes without saying. i the Eagles, never backward about expenditures in order that their af fairs may be a success, have been more than usually lavish this year. With them It is quality first, last and all the , time. If profits accrue It Is all right, ! but this feature is always a second- I ary consideration. In selecting their' artists the committee did not question the price, but the quality. Tom O'Connell. the worthy president. together with H. Hyans, have been act- i ive In the promotion of this affair to' the exclusio nof their private business and interests, for the past three weeks, i Others have helped some, but the bulk of the work has fallen on the shoulders of Messrs. O'Connell and Hyans. They will, however, consider their time will spent, if the affair is a success as it is bound to be. Wlil Attend Church. The members of the Gary Odd Fellows and Rebecca lodges will attend the Congregational church tomorrow, where they have accepted an invitation from the pastor. Rev. A. .1. Sullens, to attend the services. Rev. Sullens will preach an appropriate sermon on the celebration of the nineteenth anniversary of the organization of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows In America. The members of the two lodges will meet at their hall at 607 Broadway, where they will dress in their regalia and march to the church in a body. The service will commence at 10:30 a. m. n BIG

Gary Gets Big Underground System, Which Is Being Installed-by the Chicago Telephone Co.; Laborers Now at Work. m INCREASE LOCAL CAPACITY 3 TIMES Nine Hundred 'Phones Now Installed Crowth Has Been Rapid and Demand Continues Cables To Be Laid Underground Will Run as far South as Tenth Avenue. The Chicago Telephone company, in Gary, will have its cables underground In the first subdivision in a little over a month. The conduits have now all been put in and the cables laid so that all that is necessary now to put the underground cables in operation is to connect up the wires. AVhen this system is established the capacity of the local exchange will be increased from 900 telephones to 2,400, nearly three times as many. The growth of the telephone company in this city has necessitated the installation of the underground cables. During the few months that the exchange has been established in Gary no less than eight hundred telephones have been ordered and placed in service. Other orders are coming in so rapidly that the capacity of the present cables is being taxed to the limit, and in a few weeks more It would have been necessary to string another over head cable. The conduits which will be used by the Chicago Telephone company run as far south as Tenth avenue in the al leys on each side of Broadway, and these conduits will be connected by another which will run through the al ley south of Fifth avenue. A dozen men are now employed constantly connecting up the wires, this being the most arduous task in putting in the system. The establishment of the underground cables will not eliminate the use of the telephone poles, as these will have to be used to string the individual wires. F O S

CALUMET RIVER GOES UP MGH MARK Road South of Gary Is Washed Out Near th? . Bridge-

BEGAN TO RECEDE TODAY Residents in Neighborhood of Flooded District Experience But Little for the Present. The high water which has been menacing the south end of Gary for the past few days yes erday reached its high water mark and washed out the road leading to the bridge across the little Calumet river. All communication with the outside world over this much-used thoroughfare was entirely cut off, but today the reports from that district are that the water is receding so rapidly that communication may be re-established soon. The water yesterday was the highest that it has been this year. This was unusual, because, as a rule, it is the highest immediately after the spring thaws and but little trouble is experience dafter that time. Those who are accustomed to go to Crown Point by automobile were compelled to take the trains yesterday 'because of the bridge being Impassable. The only manner that the outside world could be reached was by way of Miller or Black Oak. Although the bridge was cut off yesterday the residents of that district are experiencing but little trouble with the water as yet, but a further raise might compel them to move. Farmers on the other side of the river report that much of their early seed planted has rotted and they will be forced to replant a large part of it. CHAS.
