II LOCATE GORRELL 1FG. CO.IilRf

The Gorrell Manufacturing company is the name of an Infant industry, backed mostly by Gary capital, which will manufacture various patents held by the company as soon as their building can be erected. As stated in The Times several days ago, the company was Incorporated for 25,O0O, and the following officers of the company were elected: President G. S. Widholm, Gary. Vice president and secretary H. J. Eurttss, Gary. Secretary W. S. Cramblett, Kendallville. One of the main articles to be manufactured is a lawn sprinkler, invented by John B. Gorrell, who is also one of the large stockholders in the enterprise and one of its chief proomters. This sprinkler, the officers claim, will be the cheapest, most durable and the best adapted for lawn watering oi any device on the market. Plans are not yet mature for the construction of the plant. It is probable that It will be located in Gary, although this city has not been definitely settled upon. Kendallville, "Walkertown and other cities of the state are said to be bidding for the location of the manufactory. While their actions in those matters are pending, however, they will not be able, as orders are being received every day for the new sprinklers, and evenin now they are used extensively about Gary. Several of those in this city who have tried out the device have pronounced it the best they have ever seen and have written testimonials to that effect. These orders are turned over to a Chicago company, which is now prepared to handle the product until the new plant is constructed. Many flattering offers have been received by the promoters for the sale of the device. Several have tried to buy the sprinkler outright, while a manufacturing company offered a royalty on the patent and made the assertion that they could dispose of at least 2.000,000 of them. The outsiders interested in the enterprise are: John B. Gorrell, the inventor, and W. S. Cramblett, one of the chief promoters, of Kendallville, and Attorneys G. S. Widholm and Harvey J. Curtiss of this city. The directors are, in addition to the above officers, Hiram B. Gorrell of Kendallville. The company also has associated with it a well-known sales agent, Webster G. Wright, of Fort Wayne. The present offices of the company are in the First National bank in Gary, while their temporary plant is located in Kendallville. Most of the $25,000 stock has been eubscibed.

POSTAL AUTHORITIES SEEK LETTER WRITER

Yesterday Chief Joseph Martin of the Gary police department admitted that Officer Newman had received a black hand letter, but maintained that the whole matter was treated as a joke. He also made the assertion that Newman had received but one letter, when ! the current report was that he had j' received three. "We had practically forgotten the matter," said Chief Martin, yesterday, "when Newman happened to make the remark to several of the Milwaukee police officers that he received this letter. The letter was received by Newman some time ago and he showed it to me and asked me what I thought about it. I told him that I did not thins it amounted to much, and the matter was dropped. Fontal Authorities Working. "There was but one letter received. Newman killed some old woman's dog probably and they were taking this manner to scare him. It is true that the time for him to live, according to the letter, expired Sunday but there has not been the sign of a person that has been seen designing upon his life. I do not think that the matter will go any further." The admission of Chief Martin yes terday that Newman did receive a black hand letter was the first time that a member of the police department would not evade the question. The police head would not admit, however, that the matter was serious, although the pos tal authorities were notified and asked to investigate the matter thoroughly. PUT GANG OF MEN TO ViQRK 0!i SITE That the new $250,000 Lake Shore and B. & O. union station in Gary is to be a reality is evidenced by the fact that half a hundred men are now en gaged in excavating and starting the concrete foundations. The depot is to be located on the site of the present wooden building which now serves the purpose of a station. It is located between the track eleva tions of the two roads and' lies between the steel plant and Third avenue. Gary people welcome the starting of work on the structure, as it has been promised for such a long time and as nothing tangible was done toward be ginning it except drawing the plans, many tnougnt tnat it would not oe built until far in the rosy future. While the railroads had Intended to build a depot here, it was their inten tion to build a small station. How ever, in September, 1906, when the plans were shown to Judge Gary, chairman of the steel corporation, he said: "Why gentlemen, your depot should be built to accomodate a population of a quarter of a million, for such a number Gary will have by 1915." The railroad engineers accordingly changed their plans and the larger station will be the re sult.

AT HARBOR II FARFn

(Special to The Times.) Indiana Harbor, July 1. That it is dangerous these days to be a China man has been manifested many times sir.o the murder of Elsie Siegel, by Leon Ling in New York. S. Niutsche, an intlnerant Mongolian, found it dang erous yesterday to even be a Japanese. Niutsche was seen entering a Chi nese laundry in Pennsylvania avenue yesterday morning. He wore a haunted ook and American dress, and looked several ways before he sort of "oozed" inside the place. Furthermore he was minus the customary queue which is wont to encircle the brow of laundry attaches. Amateur Spies Him. An amateur Sherlock Holmes noted these things in one swift glance. "Ah,'' said he, but he took pains to say it under his breath for every fool knows that only detectives and villains use the expression, and this amateur sleuth was foxy. With the smothered ejaculation sticking in his throat, the amateur made haste to the nearest phone and calling up the Indiana Harbor police station, in hoarse tones, informed Ser geant Quinlan that the murderer of Elsie Siegel was then, even then, in In diana Harbor. That he was, in fact, in the Pennsylvania laundry where he had gone into temporary seclusion. Sergeant Quinlan waited to hear no more, but started on a hot-foot in the direction indicated. There was nobody with a deck of cards and an inclina tion to play solitaire in Sergeant Qulnlan's wake when he made his record run. That is the only reason the pastime was not indulged in with Quinlan's coat-tails as the base of operation. He Finched Mutsclie. Arrived at the laundry Sergeant Quinlan in thundering tones, and seiz ing the trembling Mongolian by the neck and the slack of his pants, ex claimed, "In the name of the people of the State of Indiana I arrest you." "Who?" gasped the astonished prisoner. "Yere pinched," accommodatingly elucidated the gallant officer. The prisoner trembled less violently. "Is that all? I thought I was choked." Niutsche felt of his throat with a caressing gesture, and his eyes receded to their normal level as Sergeant Qulnlan's clutch relaxed. Quinlan noted that his prisoner used good English. "You killed Elsie Sigel, didn't you?" said Quinlan. "Don't know Elsie, Clark street, or South Halsted?" "Don't be playin' any of yer ways that are dark and tricks that are vain on me. The gurrul lived in N'York. You knew her." Sergeant Quinlan took him along and boarded the next car for East Chicago where Chief Higglns looked the prisoner over. It developed that Niutsche had been a waiter in the Gary hotel, the proprietor of the hostelry bearing him out in his alibi. He was released after being held long enough to establish his Innocence. "Just my luck," said Sergeant Quinlan. E. H. GARY IS NAMED AS DIRECTOR Chairman E. H. Gary of the United States Steel corporation has accepted a directorate In the Erie railroad, according to the Chicago Tribune. No special significance is attached to the purchase of stock in the company by the J. P. Morgan interests, which he represents, as far as the United States Steel corporation is concerned. The Tribune says: t'linnse on Erie Hoard. "A change in the Erie directorate was made by the election of E. H. Gary, chairman of the United States Steel corporation; It. S. Ixivett, vice president and general counsel of the Union Pacific; George W. Perkins of J. P. Morgan & Co., and L F. Loree, president of the Delaware & Hndson company. Gary and Perkins represent the Morgan interests in the control of the road and Iree and Lovett will look after the Harriman interests. Three former directors, Alexander E. Orr, Lewis L. Stanton and W. C. Lane, resigned. One vacancy already existed. Have no Foundation. "Rumors of an Impending change in the administration of the road were declared to be without foundation. A resolution was passed asking President Underwood to continue in charge of the property and he signified his intention of staying." A report in another one of the leading morning financial institutions reports that the mills of the United States Steel corporation, which were running one year ago at 55 per cent of their capacity, are now operating at 82 per cent. The output is still Increasing and the number of men employed greater every day. Mike Paid Up. All of the young men arrested Saturday night and Sunday have paid fines and been released. Nick Manson, whose fine was paid yesterday morning, went to South Chicago and got the amount of the fines against his pals, Hughes and Cavanaugh, and they were liberated late yesterday afternoon. Mike Jordan of Gary remained in jail until today noon, when a couple of friends came here in response to his telegram and paid his fine. Michigan City Dispatch.

Her work has received the highest comment and praise. The choir at the Methodist church contains many excellent voices, and it Is but natural to expect that with such a competent leader as Miss Ston the choir will render excellent service.

Miss Stone expects in a couple of weeks to be absent a few weeks on a vacation, during her absence Mrs. Evans, a sister of Miss Stone and a music teacher of ability, will have charge of the choir.

Mrs. Abe Ottenhelmer yesterday entertained at a neighborhood party for her immediate neighbors in the block in which she lives. Mrs. Ottenhelmer is going abroad in three weeks, and while the informal little affair that she gave yesterday was not diflniged by Mrs. Ottenhelmer by the high-sounding title of a "farewell" party, it was one, in fact, for the little group of neighbors who attended. There were thirteen present, but the number proved no damper on the jollity of the company. The guests assembled on the lawn, where the forepart of the afternoon was spent, iced drinks being served, from tjlme to time, till the ho;r for luncheon arrived, when the company adjourned to the house. The luncheon proved a delightful one. The colors were in brown, white and pink, and a feature of it was the ice c -earn, which was served in individual flowerpots, with a posy stuck in the cerver t each. All of those present wore white,, and.

The Dixon home presented a most inviting appearance in its decorations of pin kar.d white, and the gathering indeed was a most pleasant one.

DARING ATTEMPT AT KIDNAPING (Continued from Page 1.) Shore road, and J. X. Chillas an attorney for that company. Wan tod Him in South Bend. They claimed that they desired to take the body to South Bend, where it could be directly under the care of the company's physicians, thereby totally ignoring Dr. T. J. Toner, who is the physician for this section of the line. Dr. Toner was absent from the city, however, when the hospital authorities attempted to reach him, and it is believed from this fact that they purposely attempted to take advantage of his absence to spirit the patient out of the city. Dr. Harry Walsh, who was treating Moore in the absence of Dr. Toner, was called and he joined in the protest to prevent transferring the patient. Finally, when Undertaker Kellman arrived with the ambulance which was to remove him, the latter learned of the circumstances and refused to take hfm down to the train. The matter necessarily dropped at this point because no ambulance could be secured to take him to the depot. When Dr. Toner returned to the city from Wisconsin, where he buried his mother, he went into the case thoroughly and promised to take the matter up with headquarters. The relatives of the young man, who are now at his bedside, were stunned at the action of the two men. A brother, when he saw the state of affairs, is said to have made the threat that if his brother died he would take the law into his own hands in dealing with the alleged officials. The father of this family, who reside in Hillsdale, Mich., was killed outright in the wreck, but the son, who accom panied him, was expected to recover un til this trouble occurred. TIME RIPE FOR CALUMET CANAL (Continued from Page 1.) of a cesspool of pollution as it is at the present time, thereby improving local sanitary conditions r. Provide a means of carrying off surface water in the whole district, and would make marsh lands more valu able. With these manifold advantages to be gained, Mr. Gostlin is of the opinion that the drainage problem is easily the most important one with which the whole district has to deal. Ho believes that It is a problem for Immediate consideration, for the fol lowing reasons: 1. Tlie army engineers have recent ly approved of the project and have recommended that the Chicago drainage district appropriate $6,000,000 for the immediate construction of the canal. 2. When the time comes to make the appropriation the Chicago drainage district will Insist that the Calumet region in Indiana be taxed its proportionate share of the expense, and it will be necessary to have a bill passed by the next legislature creating a drainage district, which will include all of the territory drained by the Calumet rivers and their tributaries. 3. Before the government will proceed to the straightening and dredging of the Calumet river through Hammond, certain property will have to be condemned and the right of way secured. This should be done at once to prevent delays. 4. Public interest must be created in the project at once, so that the peoplo of the region will be alive to the necessity of action when the time comes. Mr. Gostlin points out that the. East Chicago company is now bound by contract to dig the Indiana Harbor canal through to the Calumet river, and is progressing at a rapid rate with this improvement. This has an Important bearing on the whole project, as it will give the district in Indiana access to

SOI IflTELLEGENT DOGS WITH

THE GENTRY For ages mankind has known that a; dog understands the human voice, but ' it remained for Gentry Brothers shows to discover the fact that some dogs have an ear for music. With Gentry Brothers' shows, which will be in this city next Sunday, is a collie dog that answers to that name. This animal is declared by Gentry Brothers to be one of the most intelligent creatures they have owned in their quarter century in the show business. The dog is left alone on a platform. Around him are half a dozen flags, each one representing a nation. Gentry Brothers' band then selects the national hymns and in turn plays them. The dog listens intently to the first few strains. Then he crosses the platform and takes from among the flags the one corresponding to that national air. Collie's ability to recognize music has often been questioned, but never once has the dog failed in his task. The SOCIAL NEWS CONTINUED FROM PAGE TWO. RETURNS IIOMB TODAY.

music has been changed on him. but in spite of that fact the intelligent animal has never been misled. 'Ihere is quite a nine numan .mierest about this particular dog's entry into the show world. Seven years ago Gentry Brothers were exhibiting in Chicago. One night a store near the lot caught fire. In it was Collie, his mother and three other little dogs. In the fire the mother dog and the other puppies were suffocated. Collie, however, was rescued in time.

Mr. Becker said today: "We are not merely trying to make a good showing at the start; we expect to continue to please the people.
