Gary Firemen Battle With j Conflagration During the Storm and Have Tempestuous Night Before Work Is Completed.

HE SIMM THE ICY CALUMET

Mayor Schlieker Fines Him $1 and

JDosta After Listening Attentively.

Two fires of a disastrous nature occurred last night and early this morning in Gary, the result being that both departments were called out in the blizzard to fight the flames, and with

the piercing cold wind the task was anything but a pleasant one. Shortly after 11 o'clock last night an alarm was sent In calling the department to Twenty-sixth avenue and Broadway, where the two-story frame building,' used for saloon purposes, was on fire. The department made a recordbreaking, run, considering the Icy streets, but by the time . the department arrived and were ready to go to work the flames had gotten a good start. It was necessary to stretch two lines of hose from Twenty-fourth avenue in order to reach Uie scene of the fire, . and after a hard fight the blaze was extinguished. . Mr. Alathies is of the opinion that the fire started from coal falling from the kitchen stove. The rear end of the building was badly damaged and the loss will range from $300 to $400. It was just about 5 o'clock this morning, and the fire, laddies had returned from the first fire, that a second call was sent In from Tolleston, sayir.g that the home of Fred Waldron "was on fire. Mr. Waldron lives on Borman boulevard, in the west part of the town, and it was a long run for the department. Mr. Waldron claims that he and his family have not occupied the house for the past three days and he Is at a loss to know the cause of the fire. The house and furniture, which were totally destroyed, are valued at $3,500, of which $2,800 was covered by insurance. The residence was a mass of flames by the time the fire department got there, and -with the high wind it was impossible to save the building. Another residence near Mn. Waldron's was in great danger of being burned

i.t wa i , through the hard work of

the 'department that It "was saved.

Chief Feeley will begin an Investigation as to the cause of the Waldron fire today. Mr. Waldron claims that , there has been no fire In his house for the past three days, and how the Are ' originated isas much a mystery to him as anyone else.

(Special to Thb Times.)'

East Chicago, Ind., Jan. 21. A pic

turesque hard luck story went glim

mering yesterday when Stanislaus

Slavsinko. arrested nr being found

wandering within the grounds of the

United States Metals Refining company

at 1:30 o'clock yesterday morning, was

tried before .Mayor Schlieker.

Slavsinko was arrested by Sergeant

Mike Gorman and Officer Patrick Mc

Kenna, had on only his trousers and shirt. He was barefooted in the snow

and thoroughly soaked. Asked to give an account of himself he told a thrilling story of how he was attacked by two men, who demanded his money. "Me no money," was Slavsinko's reply, according to his report of the occurrence. The two bold robbers are then alleged to have t'hrown the foreigner into the river. He swam across , and landed on the other side, whereupon he was seized once more by the merciless highwaymen, who tossed him over the fence of the United States Metals Refining company. It was a big story to swallow, but the prisoner seemed guileless and the officers were Inclined to believe him until yesterday morning, when he confessed before Mayor Schlieker In the city court, that he did not know how he came to be in the place where he was found, had never ben held up, and that his entire story was a fabrication. He was fined $1 and costs, and as he had some money coming from the Metals company, by which concern he is empliyed, he was accompanied by an officer to the plant to draw his pay in order that he might liquidate oh the fine. As he left the police station he joyously waved adieu to the police officers, assuring them that they would see him shortly, as now that he was In funds he would have another "good time," and he meant this to be of such a nature that it would be up to them to gather him In again.

Gary Commercial Club Directors Meet and Accept Sketches for New HomeFinal Action tc Be Taken Next Thursday.

i VICTIM OF "WHITE SLAVERS." Friends in Evansville fear for the - safety of Miss Georgia Tate, 20 years

, old, who went recently to live with her mother in Chicago, and who, according

to reports from that city to the Evansville police last nigh is now missing ' In that city after being married. The ' suspicion Is that she has become a victim of the "white slave." traffic. Miss Tate came here from Henderson, Ky., three years ago.

mncn unnuuu SERIOUSLY ILL

As a result of the submitting of the plans for the new home, of the Gary Commercial club, at the meeting of the directors yesterday afternoon, it is believed that the sketches of Architect J. J. Verplank will be accepted and he will be Instructed to go ahead immediately with the preparation of the plans and specifications.

Several of the local architects which

were in the contest at the time that the sketches were looked over by the di

rectors last time,, dropped tout of the race, leaving only three to contend for

the honors. No definite action in the matter was taken yesterday afternoon, this having been deferred until next Thursday. The receiving of the sketches by the directors last night means that they have taken the first step -towards providing Gary with one of the finest buildings of Its kind In the state. Captain Norton, president of the club, said this morning: "We will take final action on the acceptance of the sketches submitted next Thursday night. Whoever receives the work will be instructed to start work on The plans and specifications Immediately and have them ready so that the contracts for the building can be let early in the spring. We are ambitious to be housed in our new building early next fall, The Gary Commercial club building will cost about $20,000, exclusive of the cost of the lot. It will be located adjoining the Hodges and Ridgley building, on the east side of Broadway, near Sixth avenue.

Before Sheriff Antlss took action to

throw Harry Gratton of Gary, the im

poster and taker out of jail bodily, he asked Dr. C. . E. Burleson, the county Jail physician, to make a thorough ex

amination of the fellow. There was

some question as to the man's condition

and Sheriff Antiss did not -wish to do

anything that might make him worse,

if he really was ill. Dr. Burleson

found that the fellow is in a serious condition, and were he turned loose he

might die. He might not recover any- I way, but in order that everything that humanity might expect is done he has been taken to the Holy Family hospital.

As stated yesterday. Sheriff Antlss has proven the assault and robbery story to be a fake pure and simple. Last night the - fellow asked, for a priest, and Rev. Father Schraam was sent for and visited him and talked to him. Laporte Herald. . LOW LANDS ARK SAVED. Indiana and Kentucky lowlands that border the Ohio river were saved untold damage yesterday by the very element that was feared.

come the word that' those in the northern part of the state, or, at "least some

prtbm. MajornpUsf GarjMav-

ur uemuei uarrow ox xaporte ana JYiayor Becker of Hammond for example, do not feel friendly to the governor and would, in case he should be a candidate for president, try to turn at least two of the congressional candidates to some other candidate in the national convention. It Is not known just how much of this feeling against the governor has arisen from the failure of the northern part of the state to get many appointments, but there is a feeling among some of- the democrats that a few good appointments to the northern part of the state might remedy matters and put conditions in a little better shape for the democratic party into the bargain. With John W. Kern acting up as he is and a few other things transpiring the democratic partyxneeds about all the bolstering up It can get. Not the Bent Thin. It is understood that the word has been conveyed to the governor that his appointment of a man from southern Indiana as a member of the railroad

commission was not the best thing to

do politically, but the governor, it is

said, has declared that he was looking

for the best man for the place, regard

less of the part of the state from

which he came. The governor. It is

said, explained that he .was unable to

get a man from the north part of the state who was just exactly suited to the place, although they might have

ben qualified in many ways.

undoubtedly though great pressure

will be brought to bear by the demo

cratlc leaders to get the governor to

appoint a northern Indiana man to the deputyship made vacant by the resignation of Fogarty. And the democrats, if they have the opportunity, will not be backward about trying to find some northern Indiana man who will fill the bill. Change Considered. The resignation of Fogarty changes the democratic conditions in Marlon

county, and Marion county is more important this year because nine members of the legislature are to be elected from this county and that means nine votes for some candidate for United States senator. If Taggart should be a candidate for United States senator, for example, Marion county might furnish

enough Votes to put hlm safely over the fence. Mr. Fogarty since he has severed his connection with the state board of accounts and lias again become-a private citizen is he logical man for the democratic candidate for the county chairmanship. Fogarty was county chairman during the last campaign and under His leadership the democrats elected all of the county officers except the Juvenile court judge, and all of the members of the legislature from

this county. If Fogarty will consent

to take the chairmanship again there is scarcely any argument that can be used against him. U. S. Jackson was re-elected state chairman because he was at the head of the state committee when a victory was won. Bernard Korbly was re-elected district chairman of the seventh district" because he was the district chairman when a democratic congressman was elected. The same argument can be applied for the reelection, of Mr. Fogarty. He was at the head of the county committee when a decided victory was won by the demo-
