10 TRUTH It3 FIE REPORT

Sensational Story Sent Out Early This Morning That Attempt Was Made to Rob Bank in Gary, Is Utterly Without Foundation.

- Some unprincipled liar sent a report to the Chicago evening papers today from Gary that an attempt was made to blow up the Gary Savings bank and the office of the XJ. s. Express company. This is the story printed in Chicago: 'Gary, Ind., March 10. Gary was shaken by a terrific explosion at 2:30 o'clock this morning, which is believed to have been , an attempt to blow up the - Gary Savings bank and the 'office , of the United States Express comr 'pany to -ob them. "The blast occurred in an alley in the rear of the two buildings, which are opposite each other in the same block. "Nearly all the inhabitants were . aroused by the detonation and hun

dreds flocked to the scene to Investigate. "The authorities believe the rob-, . bery of . the bank and the express company at the same time had been planned. "Six men, strangers in Gary, were seen about the premises In the afternoon and In the alley. "These men are being searched for today. No one has been found, however, who has seen any of them . since nightfall. "The force of the , explosion smashed windows in the bank building and in the express office across the alley. ' "Windows in nearby stores were also shattered and bric-a-brac was shaken from the walls of houses . in the vicinity. "It is believed that the robbers attempted to use a charge large enough to wreck both' buildings at once, but the dynamite or whatever explosive they used was placed too far away from either to attain this result."

The story is true except that there was no terrific explosion; no attempt

to rob a bank or express office; no one

flocked to the scene; no men are being sought; no windows were smashed; no stores were shattered; no robbers; no

dynamite.

Otherwise the story Is true. There were six strangers in Gary yesterday.

in fact there were about 600 strangers.

SHEEI HUB Till PLATE OFFICIALS III GARY Look Over Site for Plant, Surveys for Which Have Been Made.

High officials of the American Sheet and Tin Plate company visited Gary yesterday afternoon for the purpose of looking over the site of the new plant to be located in this city. The visit was determined upon after enough of the surveys had been completed to show where the various buildings would be located. Those in the party were: A. W. Pargny. president; A. a Davis, vice president; W. C. Bennett, assistant to president; G. a Kimball, chief engineer; A. G." Young, traffic manager. The party arrived in Gary at 9 o'clock this morning and were taken about the city in automobiles and were shown the new steel town under the guldwce of Captain H. S. Norton of the Gary Land company. At noon they lunched in the Gary hotel, and after dinner were taken to the site o fthelr plant, adjacent to the Indiana Steel company. One of the officers of the company stated that there was no special significance In their trip, but that they had merely come to Gary to see the site of their, new plant for the first time. He was asked if they did not plan to push the starting of the buildings, but this he denied, stating that they would be built as soon as possible anyway. The party did not have an opportunity to go through the steel mills because of the shorness of their visit to this city. They arrived in this city In

a special car attached to the 9-o'clock

train.

Therfc is no reason why you should not get your money's worth when you buy a Sunday newspaper. The smaller papers have from ten to twenty pages less than the big Tribune every Sunday. Yet they charge the

same price.

Ten to twenty pages more in the big Tribune means more news, more pictures, more features, which the smaller papers have to leave out.

BODY OF fil. HIS HOT YEJREGOVERED Mysterious Disappearance of Railroad Man at East Chicago Unsolved.

(Special to The Times.) East Chicago, Ind., March 10. No light has yet been thrown on the mys

tery which surrounds the sudden dls-

appearance over a week ago of Mike Hans, the hostler for the Pennsylvania railroad, who was last seen starting

from the East Chicago depot in the direction of the Kennsdy avenue "Y" on

his way to relieve the engineer and

fireman of the loop train, which pulls into East Chicago shortly after 6 p. m. and which was on the night of Hans' disappearance stalled near the "Y," ow

ing to the congested condition of the tracks near that point. v Today will be the ninth since the

disappearance of Hans, and the vigi

lance of those employed by the Pennsylvania Railroad company to patrol the banks of the canal in the hope that the body of the unfortunate man may come to the surface. If indeed it be in the canal, will be redoubled. Nine days is commonly declared to be the limit of time that elapses between the sinking of a body and its rising to the surface of the water unless it be caught to something under the water. Two men have been patrolling the banks for the railroad company ever since the dragging and dynamiting of the canal was suspended. This lasted for five days, and during that tima launches were employed to carry the crews who were handling the grappling Irons, Mat Sternberg's gasoline launch being one of the boats thus employed. There is quite a strong current in the canal, and for this reason the patrol Is extended to a considerable distance each way from the point where Hans is supposed to have fallen into the canal at the Chicago Terminal railway bridge.

Gallagher Says He Will Not Favor Annexation to Gary Just Because Conferes on Town Board Granted Water Franchise to Cole.

W. S. Gallagher, president of the Tolleston town board today denied emphatically that he had decided to withdraw his opposition to the annexation of Tolleston by Gary because the Tolleston water franchise had been granted by his conferes on the board to "W. L. Cole in place of the Gary Heat, Light and Water company. Attitude Unchanged. "Ypu can say, he stated, "that I will continue to fight the annexation in the courts and that I have never considered for a moment dropping the case." It was rumored about the city that in order to annul the franchise to "W. 1 Cole, which he opposed, that he had determined to allow Tolleston to become annexed to Gary. But Mr. Gallagher hopes t beat both projects in due "bourse of time. As to the Cole franchise he said that this matter would undoubtedly go by default, he being satisfied that the grantee did not have sufficient financial backing to put in the water system for the town. The opinion Is expressed, however, that the trouble aroused between Mr. Gallagher and the other members of the board who were also -opposed to annexation would greatly weaken the opposition to the annexation and that already several names had been .withdrawn from the petition. There are a large number, however, who are still opposed to being governed by the Gary officials under any circumstances and are still ready to fight it. . This is the only reason given for their opposition.

BUSY SEASON

, The Iron Trade Review says: "Milder weather continues to have a quickening Influence on the Iron and steel markets and reports of moderate Improvement come from nearly all parts of the country except the Pacific coast, whera weather conditions have been extreme ly unfavorable. Export business continues good and prices are advancing. The pig iron production for February was surprisingly heavy, the daily average output, being 86,747 tons, against 83,871 tons during January. In the Pittsburg and Cleve-' land districts interest has centered on the inquiry of the Westlnghouse Interest for 15,000 tons of pig iron. "The purchase has not been made.' but it is understood that some low prices have been named and that the business-will not net the furnaces much above $16 at their plants, which is considered very near cost when using new ore at the advanced prices."
