WATCH
An old timer, and a good timer, presented itself to S. Silver the jeweler on Friday. It was made three centuries ago and was all out of fix. It had received hard usage, for the man who owned it had been unkind to it. It was a watch that few watchmakers would undertake to repair, but Mr. Silver, being an expert, located the trouble, took the commission and the owner went on his way rejoicing. No. 265 East State Street, near the Bijou Theatre, is the right place to get this class of work done, and done correctly.

10 HAD BEEN UNDER ARREST ICE BEFORE
Because of Laxity of Juvenile Law They Were Enabled to Escape to Chicago, But Return to Resume
Depredations Spend Night in
Lock-Up. (Special to The Times.)
Indiana Harbor, Ind., April 29. The
arrest of three boys caught red-handed
last night In committing a burglary at
the grocery and market of N. Cooper:
has served to emphasize the necessity
of raoTe effective methods in dealing with Juvenile offenders. That the boys
are memoers 01 max same &aii ui
vouthful lawbreakers which for the
past year has been perpetrating box
car robberies and whose headquarters
on the abandoned right of way of the
Chicago. Lake Shore and Eastern were
so recently raided, serves but to furth
er accentuate the gravity of the situa
tion. The entire gang, barring one or two, -about a. we"k ago were held to the juvenile court by Mayor De Erlae but released until Truant Officer Muzzall could get around to take them in charge. In the meantime two of the
number escaped to Chicago, were ac
cidentally recaptured and brought back
to Indiana Harbor, and last night were as boldly pursuing their career of
crime as though it had never been interrupted.
Are Boyn of Tender Years. The boys who were involved in last night's burglary of the Cooper store were Bruno Czerwonski, aged 14, of One Hundred and Thirty-ninth and Alder streets; Frank Ookroplnskl, 15 years old, of 3823 Beach street, and Vincent Cajkowskl, 3715 Beach street. The two former were the boys who ran away to Chicago, but ere brought back to take their medicine before the juvenile court if the time ever arrives hen Truant Officer Muzzall takes them in charge and escorts them into the presence of Judge McMahon. As the cap sheaf to the farcial fea
tures of the situation, the police, who kept the boys at the Harbor station last
night, were obliged to leave the door
to the cell they occupied open, as well
ns the door of the jail itself, in order
to comply with the laws governin
the treatment of lawbreakers under
16 years of age. Caught Red-Handed.
The boys were discovered in the act of carrying away plunder from the Cooper store, which is in the hands of a receiver, at 10:30 o'clock last night, by Officers Lee MeCormick and Wil
liam Hughes. The patrolmen were walking down Michigan avenue when they passed the store and noticed emerging from the shadows of the cellarway a youthful figure. The officers halted the boy, not recognizing him in the darkness as the now notorious Bruno Czerwonski. "What are you doing here?" inquired the officer. "Waiting for my father," was the quick reply. Not satisfied with this the policemen investigated further and soon discovered Frank Fekropinski in the shadows of the hallway, wheie he had
been stationed as lookout. This proved too much for Officers MeCormick and Hughes, and Officer Mike Gorman coming along at the time, one of the officers took the boys
in charge white the others went down into the basement to investigate. Here they four 13-year-old Vincent Cajkowskl of 3715 Beach street with a bag of plunder which he was making ready to carry away. Implicate Hoboen. The plunder consisted for the most part, of canned goods, fruits, fish and vegetables, an 1 several coils of saah
card. Entrance had been effected by forcing the cellar door. The boys were taken to the police station, where they implicated a gang of hoboes on whom they laid the responsibility for the night's adventure. "The hoboes to!d us to do it," whined
one of the boys. "What hoboes?" demanded Night Sergeant Ford. "A bunch of them down the tracks near th-e limits," volunteered another of the culprits. On receiving a description of the locality where the hoboes were supposed to hold forth, a squad of officers, consisting of Sergeant Charles Bower, John Quinlan, Mike Gorman and Leo MeCormick, was detailed to raid the bunch, and departed forthwith to the spot.

Yesterady afternoon Mrs. Solari came to the home of her sister and it then became known that the little girl had been missing for two days. The mother was prostrated with grief and every effort was made to locate her. Last night Mr. Solari, who Is employed in the Indiana Steel mills, came to the police station to try and learn something of his child. It was then he found that little Virginia was safe and well and was at the " home of Officer William Miller who had saved the little girl from a horrible death by being ground to piece? under the Michigan Central passenger train on Tuesday morning.
Virginia was glad, of course, to see her father, but had become very much attached to Mr. and Mrs. Miller, who
intended to adopt the pretty little Miss if her parents would have never been
found. It was a happy father and
mother when the little girl was brought home last night.
Under Old Law Fee Was Not Collected in Many Cases Reason for This Is Explained in the Fact That
Money Did Not Go Into Pockets of
the County Clerks.
Indianapolis, Ind.. April 29. The
counties of the state, especially those
counties In which large cities are sit
uated, will profit to the extent of about
$4,500 through the increase in the fee charged by the county clerk for Issuing a certificate to agents of foreign insur
ance companies. By foreign insurance
companies are meant companies out
side of the state of Indiana that Uo
business in this state. Formerly the fee for issuing this cer
tlflcate was fixed by law at 25 cents
and even this small sum was not col
lected in many of the counties. But the last legislature amended that law by making the certificate fee 50 cents instead of 25 cents. The law has al
ways provided that the fees collected
shall go into the country treasury.
"The reason the county clerks did not know about this 25-cent fee law was that the money did not go into
their pockets," said Cyrus W. Neal
head of the state Insurance depart
ment.
There are fnore than 17,000 agents of foreign insurance companies in the
state and they will have to pay the 50 cent fee. This will amount to some
thing, especially in the counties with
big cities like. Hammond, Fort Wayne
South Bend. Richmond and other places
where there are many agents.
Some of the outside companies have
been kicking against the increase In the fee. They say they had no chance
to rgister their agents before the new law took effect, but Neal says they were all notified of the change in plenty of time to have registered if they had not neglected to do so.

The Elks lodge of Gary was insti
tuted last night in the Binzenhof hall in the presence of a large number of visiting lodgemen, who came to the
steel city for the event in spite of the bad weather. There were fifty visitors registered from East Chicago, twenty-five from Hammond, twelve from South Bend, six from Michigan City and six from Hobart. It is estimated that there was a total of over 125 visitors. The work of instituting the lodge was done by the District Grand Exalted Ruler W. A. Ream of Peru, Ind. This was followed by the initiation of a candidate from East Chicago by that lodge for the amusement of those present. This work was done In the Binzenhof hall, where the local Elks and the visitors made their headquarters during the day. It Is thought that several hundred visitors would have been present had the weather been good. After the lodge work had been finished a buffet luncheon was served by the Binzenhof restaurant. This was followed by numerous vaudeville acts and musical numbers from the represenatlvea of the theaters in Gary. This part of the program proved to be very entertaining and was enjoyed by all present.
During the afternoon the district exalted ruler of the Elks, W. A. Ream, was shown through the Gary mills by W. P. Gleason, the exalted ruler of the Gary lodge.

Tomorrow night the night schools which were inaugurated in Gary last fall will close for the present school term, after a most successful season.
During the time that the nitfht school has been running the quarters and equipment of the room located in the basement of the Kalian building, which has been used for that purpose, has been taxed to its capacity. Next year it is hoped to branch out this department of the public schocds which proved so popular in its initial test. The school this year was patronized largely by men who had lost the opportunity to secure an education In their youth and who joined the night school, where they studied the elementary courses, such as reading, writing, language and arithmetic. Many of tile rnwere also foreigners, who took this chance to learn the English language and study the rudiments of our school course. Tlie night school, at which all classes of men ami women will be eligible, will start again in October. The term for this school is much shorter than that of the regular term and is meant to run only during the winter. The
location for next year has not been decided upon.

As soon as the corner stone of the new Gary city hall, laid yesterday, is sufficiently dry the receptacle in which the records of the city and various organization are placed, will be sealed and tons of brick and mortar placed upon it. In the meantime any society which desires to place a list of its names in the corner stone is welcome to do so.
A large crowd attended the event yesterday In spite of the Inclemency
of the weather. Just as Trustee Joh:i E. Sears mounted the stone to give the address of the day, hail dropped down upon the crowd In large sized chunks. This was followed by rain.

Xoron PlcniU for Women. One of the features of the corner stone laying was the appeal of Captain Norton of the land company for more homes in this city, which he said: "Homes should stretch fur miles and miles in every direction from this building-.-' The building of homes he said was the one most important necessities in Gary at the present time, for the millions which the steel corporation has invested would be of little benefit to Gary if the homes are not constructed which will house the workmen. Among the records deposited in the corner stone were the names of the Elks members, the. Masons and several other organizations, the list of the city officials and a brief history of the city of Gary, a copy of the first city directory ever printed in Gary, and a copy of a recent edition of the Gary 1 Evening Times.
times nrnEr, AT STATU rtriTAL. Indianapolis, Ind., April 29. The state tax board has had so much trouble for years in finding some basis on which to make assessments of corporations for taxation that it has de
cided to ask the next session of the legislature to pass a law fixing the plan upon which such valuations shall he made. "When railroad representatives appear before the board to argue for a reduction in the assessment of the companies, they base their plea on var
ious grounds, to fit the situation of the particular company. Some of them insist that the valuations should be base, on the physical valuation of the property, others on the earning power, others on the mileage of the company, and still others on the capitalization and bond issue. It has always been difficult for the board to determine the basis on which to work as the same old questions arise year after year. Now the board believes the legislature should pass a law fixing the method of arriving at valuations, so as to relieve the board of the repeated long wraneles with the attorneys for the corporations. and such a bill will be prepared for introduction at the. next session.
Able to Be Out. R. I Anderson, one of the victims of the Interurban smash-up at Cavanaugh, on the South Shore line, on April 12, was able to be out yesterday for the first time since the arcident. Mr. Anderson, who was a foreman in the Indiana Steel works, claims that he has been entirely Incapacitated for work, and that he fears that he will never be able to do manual labor again. Mr. Anderson not only had a broken leg and had six teeth knocked out, but suffered injury to his hreast-'txjnc
A Frog jumps readily enough when put in warm water, yet a frog can be boiled without a movement if the water is heated slowly enough. In a psychological experiment at Yale University the water was heated at the rate of .0036 of a degree a second, Fahrenheit. The frog never moved, and at the end of two and onehalf hours, was found dead. He had evidently been boiled to death without knowing it, There are hundreds of business frogs.
They Are Not Sensitive of Business Changes
The evolution from the old method to the new, bright, advertising way has not startled them they die a slow business death. Cl j k The merchant who doesn't advertise today is being boiled to death, and the bright attractive prinJang that we are doing for his competitors is the water that is doing for him what the frog got at Yale.
