New
York and Chicago Capital Combined In Tolleston Realty Deal
151,800 FOR 148 ACRES
Schloesser Property Will Be Subdivided Into 1,200 Lots.
Another gigantic real estate deal has been consummated In Tolleston which ia almost as large as that In which the Raff-Oliver Pchontz syndicate purchased a large acreage In the heart of Tolleston. In the new deal figure no less personages than Louenstein Brothers, the New York brokers, and Meyer Neuman, one of the biggest real estate men In Chicago. Together they purchased the Amelia Schloesser tract south of Tolleston for the sum of $350 per acre, or a total of $31,800 for the entire estate. The property which has been acquired b ythe Neuman-Louenstein Interests will be graded and subdivided at once into 1,200 lots, which will be put qn'sale through the Borman agency at Tolleston. . The contract for the grading will be let just as soon as the bids can be secured, and the property will then be staked off and improved. The deal for the property was really put through the latter part of last week but was not ready for publication until today. Mr. Xeuir.an has been dickering for land in the vicinity of Tolleston for some time and is now prepared to sell them in the spectacular fashion known to some of the big Chicago and New York dealers. The plans are, as soon as the property has been graded and the lots laid out, to use two automobiles to transport prospectlves to the property and back. It is also planned to run excursions into Tolleston from Chicago and other cities in the vicinity for those who might desire to purchase land near Gary. Property MovinK Kant In Tollenton. In the meantime, while this big deal has been pending the fifty-two acres purchased by the Itaft-Oliver-Schonta: interests in section eight is being graded by an army of men, which have been placed on the job by the Co-operative Construction company, which has the contract for the grading. This grading work, which is of great proportions on this property, will be completed in about four more weeks, after which, the company will start the erection of about twenty houses, ten of which have been poetically sold before they are built. Property in general in Tolleston has moved along in fine shape and nearly al Ithe dealers report the 3ales of several lots a day. One dealer has averaged about twenty-five lots a week.
JUMP lilG BEANS

GHIGAGO
millimetres In length, by three In width. When the fruit is ripe 1 falls from the ground and splits. That portion which contains the worm immediately starts off, jumping in an extraordinary manner away from the tree on which It grew. The object of these movements has not yet been decided. The most plausible theory advanced Is that the work instinctively knows that if it remains near the tree that produced it. It will be destroyed by an enemy, hence its anxiety to get as far away as possible from its place of birth. The worm apparently lives without food and has no desire to escape from its shell, on the contrary, it seems to be comfortable only when closed in it. If a small hole is carefully bored in the shert, the worm instantly dies. A. Lange, florist, of Chicago, loaned the beans to Veaco & Beach, and is authority for the above explanation. The scientific name for the tree on which they grow is the carpocapsa saltitans.
TAFFY NOW
PUT 01 THE DANGER LIST
(Special to The Times.) Lowell, Ind., July 21. Taffy, the good old kind, that the girls make when their best beau comes a courtln' on a Sunday night in the story book at least Is by far not what it is cracked up to be, according to the experience of a young lady of Vest Creek township. In the stories it might have the same effect on the young man that tanglefoot has on the ordinary house fly, but not in the West Creek township case. When It is recorded that the young lady in question, Miss Millie Chapman, who stays with the Fred Busses, sustained painful injuries when she spilled taff over her hand last Sunday evening. It must in no way be inferred that she was preparing the delicatessen with an ulterior motive or with designs upon a young man. for such facts are not included In the neighborhood reports. But as a matter of news her trends may want to know that taffy may be treacherous. She was about to turn it out of the pan and accidentally poured some of it over her hand. It burned her severely, sq badly in places that flash pealed off. Her injuries were very painful but in no way serious. Medical help was summoned and the wound was dressed, but it will be some weeks before she will have the full use of her hand.

LUC! GDIS 10 FIGHT THE CIGARETTE
Noted Anti-Coffin Nail Crusader Visits Gary at Invitatio nof Mayor Knotts, and May Decide to Do Things in the City.
Lucy Page Gaston, fresh from her recent campaign against the cigarette in Illinois and Iowa, dropped into Gary yesterday afternoon at the Invitation of Mayor Knotts and spoke before the town board. Her purpose was not to start a crusade in Gary or In the state of Indiana, she admitted, but just to feel out the sentiment in this section of the state with a view to launching into this territory some time in the near future. Wanta Uonrd to Art. Mrs. Gaston, who is superintendent of the Anti-Cigarette League of America, and a well known lecturer on that subject, confined her remarks to the cigarette question in general. She did make a proposition, however, that she may follow up later; that the town board of Gary pass a law against the sale of cigarettes and make a test case out of the first arrest. The result of this case would then esiablish a precedent in the state of Indiana In the matter of municipal legislation, whichever way it terminated. Before Mrs. Gaston could be interviewed by a Times reporter, she wheeled upon the scribe and asked him if he smoked. Upon admitting in a meek manner that he did occasionally, she caustically remarked that it was a shame so many newspaper men were "going to the bad" through liquor and tobacco. "Vn National Calamity. "I wish you would say for me in your paper," said the anti-cigarette leader, "that the repeal by the last legislature of the state of Indiana of the anti-cigarette law was national calamity. Within the last few years ten states (Wisconsin, Tennessee, South Dakota, Iowa, Nebraska. Washington, Kansas, Arkansaw and Oklahoma) have outlawed the cigarette ny prohibiting its manufacture and sale." In regard to the campaign in this state, Mrs. Gaston said that it would be worked in with the attack which is to center this year on Illinois and Ohio. In Illinois it is planned to bring the matter before the legislature at a special session which will be held in January. This bill passed the house last year and came within a narrow margin of passing the senate. In Ohio the league also believes that it has a chance of winning out. Invited to City. Mrs. Gaston came to Gary upon the invitation of Mr. Knotts, who met her in Valparaiso, where she lectured before the students of Valparaiso university. She had also spent the morning at South Bend in conference with Mayor Fogarty, J. M. Studebaker and other prominent men of that city. In regard to Gary, Mrs. Gaston satfl: "I have heard bo much about your beautiful town of Gary, but have never before had an opportunity to see it. I was much impressed by the fine buildings, broad streets and the character of the people whom I met. I expect to be back here again In a short time and will remain longer." Mrs. Gaston left yesterday afternoon for her home in Harvey, 111.
CASES ARE VENUED OVER THE COUNTY (Continued from Page One.)
he is alleged to have been assaulted. Snt to Gary for Trial. The case of the state of Indiana vs. W. B. Baulmer was also venued from Judge Matthew's court in Hobart to Judge Townsley's court in Gary. In this case Marshal Fred Rose is the complaining witness and charges that Baulmer committed assault and battery when he struck Rose while he was riding on the running board of the machine. It will be tried July 26. The case of the state of Indiana vs. W. B. Baulmer was venued from Judge Charles Gerber of Hobart to Judge Seymour Wayman of Merrillville. This is an assault and battery case, in which Deputy Sheriff John Green is the complaining witness, and alleges that Baulmer struck him when he attempted to stop the machine. The bonds in all three of the cases were raised from $50 to $75. Attorney Peddicord of Hobart, who is associated with Attorney Meeker in the prosecution of the cases, says he will go the limit in his efforts to hold the Chicagoans responsible for their actions. The defense is represented by Attorney L. E. Hart of Chicago, who have associated with them the Valparaiso firm of Bozarth and Bozarth. attorneys. The case will be hotly contested on both sides. It now develops that Deputy Sheriff John Green was the first man to hoard the machine which was driven by W. B. Baulmer and that Baulmer struck a vicious blow at him. Green was staggered and fell from the machine, according to his story, and it was then that Marshal Fred Rose Jumped on the machine and was assaulted. That is how there happens to be two cases of assault and battery. The assaults were witnessed by a number of Hobart people, and It is said that the prosecution will have plenty of witnesses to establish the guilt of the Chicago people. The matter has aroused the Indignation of the people of Hobart to such a degree that it is said there would have bee ntrouble for Mr. Baulmer if he had remained in town very muoh longer on the day of the alleged assault
STREET FIGHT HEAR VICIOUS RESORT Disreputable Women Engage in Disgraceful and Shocking Affair.
POLICE ME NO ARREST
Resort Had Been Closed, But Is Allowed to Run Wide Open Again.
Two of the low women patrons of Ike Smith's place, formerly operated and still owned by Phil Casner, near the Gary & Western tracks on Washington street, engaged in a fight Monday night at that place which was similar in many respects to that in which the colored -women engaged at Fifteenth and Broadway several nights ago. This time, however. Instead of fighting between themselves, their attack was centered on the Smith saloon which they were invited to leave when they became engaged in Borne trouble wit hthe bartender. After they were put out of the disreputable establishment, they threw bricks, stones and other Implements through the saloon window in their drunken rage, while a crowd gathered around to watch the proceedings. Their curses were cheered by the crowd and when they had finished the glass they walked off In evident satisfaction. In the meantime the Gary police not only did not make an arrest, but no report of the matter was filed at the police station. In addition to this fact it might be stated that the police closed this place up for two days and that it is now allowed to remain open and in operation In the same manner as before.
COMMERCIAL CLUB MEETS TO-NIGHT
Indiana Harbor Hustlers Expect an Important Business Gathering.
OFFICERS TO BE ELECTED

Parks, the chairman of the temporary organization, having been most prominently mentioned for the honor. Others who have quite a following and who wish to see them In the chair are John R. Farovid, A. G. Lundquist and C. L. Kirk. The secretaryship is also an office about which there is a little speculation, II. C. Rtuledge, the secretary pro tern, seeming to have the edge on the balance of the members. Everett Dubbs is another, whose name has been mentioned as a possible secretary. Speculator! seems to have confined itself, however, to these two offices, there being little said about who will serve as vice president or treasurer. This evening's meeting will be presided over by Temporary Chairman P. A. Parks and one of the main subjects before the house will be the report of the committee on by-laws and constitution, as it will be necessary for these to be adopted before the election of officers can take place. The committee, which is composed of Messrs. Strale, Jewell, Patterson, Westberg, Slocum. Van Home and Schock, has been hard at work since the last meeting of the body and has now, it is understood, completed their important task. Another report which is looked forward to with considerable interest is that of the finance committee which has considered the probable expenditures of the organization, and whose deductions will be based the matter of dues. The finance committee Is composed of Messrs. Fowler, Bader and Lundquist.
