II. C. PRICE IS SECRETARY President Is Wealthy Lumber Dealer of Oconto, Wisconsin. .

More capital is to be brought to the rescue of the workingmen of Gary in the construction of homes which will be sold to them on the installment plan,. they, being given the opportunity of paying for their residences instead of paying rent and will ultimately own their own homes. For the promulgation of this idea a new company, known as the Gary Hulding and Land company, will be Incorporated - early next week at Indianapolis. with a capital of $100,000. The. officers of the company have already-been elected as follows: C. II ART PRESIDENT. President and treasurer, Cyrus S. Hart.

Vice president, Frank E. Beecher. Secretary. Henry C. Price. These men will act as directors of the company. The president, Mr. Hart, Is a wealthy lumber dealer of Oconto. Wis., and plans to move to Gary, where he will

actively manage ini anairs 01 ine company. Mr. Beecher is formerly t$om "Wisconsin, but is now cashier ' of large bank In Mexico. Mr. Price of this

city has been retained as the counsel for the corporation and will also act as secretary. - OBJECT OF COMPANY. It is the intention of the Oary Building -and Land company to begin the erectfon immediately of cottages costing about $1,200 or $1,500. They plan to spend $50,000 immediately for land and buildings. If they are successful in disposing of them, more will be built this year. " Mr. Hart has been In this

city at various times during the past

Winter, studying over the proposition

and he believes that the demand for cheai homes for the laboring man In

"Jary assures the success of the project

The company has been looking over

property, in the city and they seem to favor- locating the buildings eact of

Broadway in the Gary Land company's first subdivision. They believe that this

property will ...be, most accessible from the mills by the workmen and that it

will be a very desirable location for

residences. TRIED JTf OTHER CITIES.

This will be the first time that the laboring men of Gary will have been

given an opportunity to pay for their homes in the same manner that they would pay rent. ' The plan has been tried in many of the large cities of the

country and has proved universally sue

cessful. Many of the real estate firms

wh ohave been informed of the project

have expressed their surrise that the plan has never been tried before in Gary where the opportunity for such a scheme is almost limitless During the

coming year, 10.000 more workmen will

probably be brought to thels city and they must have some place to live. An effort will be made by others to bring capital Into the city for the same pur

pose in the near future.. ., '

Ask your doctor how often he prescribes an alcoholic stimulant for children. He will probably say, " Very, very rarely." Ask him how often he prescribes atonic for them. He will probably answer, Very, very frequently." Ayer's Sarsiparilla Is a strong tonic, entirely free from alcohol.

In a statement given today to The

Times, the American Sheet and Tin

Plate company announces the fact that ground has alreadv been broken for the plant and that in a few days the con

tracts will be let for the Construction of sheet mill works No. 1. Grading for railroad tracks has already been started, and the work of construction will be pushed with all possible dispatch.

This information discloses for the

first time the advanced stage to which the plans of the company have already

progressed. The general public had no knowledge of the progress of the work, other than the fact that the engineers were working on the grounds.

On the occasion of the visit of the

officers of the company to Gary on Wednesday ground was broken for the construction of the mills by President

Pargny. The statement given out Is as follows:

A 'party composed of the following

officials of the American Sheet and Tin

Plate company paid a visit to Gary on

Wednesday the 9th Inst.: E. W. Pargny,

president;. S. A. Davis, vice president; C. W. Bennett, assistant to president;

G. C. Kimball, chief engineer, and A. G.

Toung, traffic manager.

"The party arrived In the city in the

morning at the Lake Shore depot and

were met by Captain H. S. Norton of

the Gary Land company, who conducted

them on an automobile trip through the city. '' ---

"In the afternoon the party, togeth

er with Emil Gerber of the American

Bridge company; J.' M. Davidson, resi

dent civil engineer, and H. A. Dalby, chief clerk of Gary works No. 1, in

spected the site of the 'new American Sheet and Tin Plate plant. After be

ing conducted over the: property the

party assembled to Witness the interesting spectacle of the formal breaking of ground by President E. W. Pargny.

'The officials of the company were

impressed with the progress which has been made on 4ie construction work go

ing on in this locality and with , the condition of the city in general, and

among matters of interest to the com

munity have begun to lay plans for the

construction of a number of residences

for their future employes. '.It is ex pected that the contracts for founda

tions for the first unit, known as sheet

mill works No. 1, will be let within a few days. Grading for railroad tracks upon the site has already been started

and the work of construction will be

pushed wJth all possible dispatch.

"The first unit will consist of two

plate mills, four Jobbing mills and si

teen sheet mills, which together with

It took about ; fifteen ininutes. of, Gary's time last night for the flames to destroy $1,500 worth of property of the

Stein-Lamb company, located along the

Lake Shore tracks in the northeastern

part of the city. As Mr. Peter B. Lamb stated last night: "The fire started at

8:45 and the building was destroyed at

about 8:46."

The building destroyed was a frame structure used for the commissary department for the Stein-Lamb construc

tion company. The dining room in the

building boarded from six'v to one hun

dred employes of the company, but for

tunately no one lived in the burned

structure except me cook, who had a

room in an adjoining apartment.

The building was valued by the company at $1,500, and was -insured by

Homer Ansley in- the Ohio Farmers company for $1,1)50. Besides the destruction of the building the provisions which amounted to a considerable sum

were also burned.

The cook, W. L. Hartzell. also had the misfortune of loosing $150 in cash.

which he had stored away in his trunk

and which he stated was the only mon

ey he had in the world. No other individual losses were sustained by em

ployes.

The fire started from an overheated stove where Hartzell was making bread

at the time. No one seems to have

seen the fire start, but this was un

doubtedly the cause. In a few seconds after the blaze was first seen the whole

building was a seething mass of flames.

Other structures in the vicinity were

saved by water drawn from a pump nearby and by chemicals unsed by the fire department before the line of hose could be laid for some distance to the

fire. The nearest firel hydrant was four or five blocks away.

Mr. Lamb announced this morning

that the building weuld be rebuilt immediately.

. (Special to Thb Time a) East Chicago, March 12. There is considerable agitation looking toward the opening of three new roads leading from Indiana Harbor, which will

tation is being fostered by influential

parties and it looks as though something would come of it.

One of the roads desired is from the

Harbor to the Cudahy plant. At pres

ent it is necessary for wagons desiring

to reach the plaint to go in a roundabout way via Oklahoma, making a considerable detour. In order to obviate this it will be necessary to open

up a new roadway.

Another new road, under contempla

tion will lead from the Harbor to Gary.

and a third which is beinjg agitated is from ;the Harbor to Whiting.

There has long been a growing neces

sity for the two last-named roads and the establishment of the Cudahy plant makes a road from Indiana Harbor to the site of this plant equally desirable.

It is expected that something definite

Thinking' that they had the demo

cratic officers to be selected last night salted down, the Knotts faction were given a little surprise when the Croilus forces appeared in numbers at the

mass meeting and nearly succeeded in

again winning over the city organiza

tlon.

The mass convention was a typical

Gary political meeting. Wrangling con

tinued from the time the doors were un

locked in the evening until the last man

was out of the hall later on, after the

strife had home what subsided. Appar

ently, however, the meeting ended

harmoniously and "get-together'

speeches were made by both factions

of democracy before the meeting ad Journed. Two Meetings Held.

As a result of the convention held

last night rump and otherwise each side claimed that their candidates were legitimately and properly selected and

promised another wrangle before the

convention at Hammond this morning.

Before adjourning, however, the fac

tions apparently had compromised, giving Crolius two of the committeemen

and Knotts taking the rest. Whether this compromise measure will prove satisfactory or not when the delegates appear before the county convention

remains to be seen. Crolius objected strenuously to be

ing cut off by the head of the family

with a meagre allowance of tw dele

gates as capital for his future political activity, but Knotts replied emphatically that he "coul"a take what be was

given or none at all."

. The mass meeting was called to order

by Township Chairman Robert -E. O'

Conner.- Joe Morris acted as secretary,

Some claim that the call was read and

others say that it was not the fast is that it was not in the haste of the

politicians to begin the transaction of business and elect a few delegates while

the other fellow wasn't looking.

Immediately after the residents of each precinct adjournedto a designated

place in the hall, where the chairmen

were selected and then the delegates. In each Instance both factions selected a delegate. The scene, resembled a panic in the pit of the New York or Chi

cago board of trade, and it seemed as if life and death was staked on the resul. The compromise resulted as follows: First precinct Chairman, Peter Bouslch; committeeman, Mike Kallch. Second precinct Chairman, W. C. Crolius; secretary, Harry Moose; committeeman, Philip McCaffery. Third precinct Chairman, C. H. Chenoweth; secretary, L. P. Lucas; committeeman, J. P .McCollough. Fourth precinct Committeeman and

chairman, Fred Behn; secretary, Julius Sherrer. Fifth, precinct Chairman, J. E. Grimes; secretary, A. P. Muller; committeeman, W. S.'Feuer. Sixth precinct Chairman, James

Rogers; secretary, R. A. Grant; commlteeman, Mathew McBride. Seventh precinct Chairman D. Antler; secretary, M. N.. Castleman; commiteeman, Pete Jurlc.
