become a reality, in fact -so much so:

that the Contracts for the erection of

Gary's most -atately and handsome structure, costing $200,000, was awarded yesterday afternoon to the William Grace company . of Chicago, actual

work on the excavation of the building

to start early next week.

The news .of the, awarding of the contract was given out by Captain H.

S. Norton in the offices of the - Gary Land company and was joyfully received by the people of Gary. The news that the Gary T. M. C. A. building was to cost $200,000 created a general surprise In Gary when it was

known that Judge E. H. Gary's original donation was $100,000, but the true

facts were learned this morning.

A short time ago when the original

plana were submitted to Judge Gary In New Tork he was -not satisfied with certain details of the plans and in

structed the architects to make the

necessary . changes, so by the time the

plana were finished and accepted by

Judge Gary the cost of the building

would total approximately $200,000. so

that by the time Gary's new Y. M. C. A.

home is completed it will cost, with

the ten lots donated by the Gary Land

company, $225,000. Th entire cost of the construction of the building will be

paid by Judge Gary

Word was given out in the offices of the William Grace company in Chicago this morning that work would start on

the excavations on Monday. The build ing1 is to be erected on ten lots be

twee-n Adams and Jefferson streets and

fronting on Fifth avenue. The building will be set In the middle of the

block so that the alley between Adams

and Jefferson streets 'will be vacated.

The building will be three stories

and a half high and tha -ground plana will be 182 by 72 feet. A wing in the rear will" be 30 by 90.' The exterior of the structure will be of solid stone

masonry.

In the basement there will be a big swimming tank, locker rooms,, bowling

alleys and billiard rooms, besides the

furnace room and. storage rooms

The seeond floor will be devoted to a large gymnasium, dining rooms, club-

asked that the organizations of busi

ness men step Into the breach and save the day for the steel city The first to respond was the Commercial club, which met last night and appropriated a large sum of money for the occasion. Following this the Retail Merchants'

association will hold a meeting of their organization In the near future for the

same purpose.

President Norton a-oDOlnted a com

mittee consisting of W. C. Crolius. W.

F. Hodges, George Manlove, J. J. Ver-

plank and J. W. Madden, to make the

nvMntrr arrangements In behalf of

the commercial club. There will prob

ably be from 100 to 150 postmasters present on that date and the banquet

will most likely be held on the 29th ol this month.

Another matter which came before

the directors and the finance commit

tee of the club was the progress of the,

work of ratsing the necessary amount

for the immediate erection of the Com

mercial club home. Captain Norton stated this morning that a plan had

now been devised whereby it would be

possible to finance the erection of the

hnHrtine Immediately, but that the

scheme could not be divulged now. The Idea put new life Into the committee and great activity In this direction may be expected immediately.

: (Special to The Times.) Indiana Harbor, May H.-Rudolph SchmuU of thf! firm of Marks and Schmult, nainters and decorators, and Miss Taye Higlln, daughter of Mr. and, Mrs. -H. Higlln, 3829 Elm street, "put one, over" on their friends? Tuesday night, when they slipped quietly away to Chicago and were married. They left after the ceremony "or Detroit, where they now are enjoying a brief honeymoon, but intend to return to Indiana-Harbor on Monday. Mr. Schmult being a discerning Individual and also foxy, concluded that If "the boys", especially one Marke, his partner, got an inkling of what was in store, they would play'some fool trick upon him that might Interfere with his and Miss Hlglin's plans. This much

demonstrated his discernment. His foxlness was evidenced by the method he took to avoid exposure of his con- ' templated act. Instead of arraying his manly form In his wedding raiment In 1 the presence of his partner, who rooms . with him In the Auditorium building, he slipped over to Max Glass, the tailor's, .where ho got into his. glad rags.- Thus nobody but the tailor was "on," and he kept faith with the culprit until he got safely away. However, "the boys" intend to do a-plenty to Mr. Schmult when he returns from his wedding trip on Monday. They have chartered a hall and an express wagon, and a sufficient number of them intend to be on hand at the depot when he and his bride get in to insure his kidnaping. The express

The problem which the library board Is forced to solve in regard to the location of their new building the funds

for which were recently donated by ; Andrew Carnegie has now been taken: up by the public who are interested in having the location near ,the future residential and business center of the city as possible. . The majority of persons that The

Times reporter has talked to in the matter have favored Fifth avenue because of the fact that this will be the longest east and west street in the city and that it cuts Into the heart of the residential district of the employes of the American Steet and Tin Plate company, the American Bridge company and also the residents of the Indiana Steel company. ... It. is also set forth that the Y. M. C. A. building will be located ' on this street which will make It one of the finest thoroughfares in the city In addition to its other features.

only $1.50 in place of the regular fare of $3.50. The game will undoubtedly be a good one, and the class shown by the Gary aggregation deserves the

The accompanying illustration gives you only a rough idea of its appearance. You really can't appreciate it until you either use it yourself, or talk to someone who has used it. It does everything that a coal range will do except heat the room. The New Perfection Oil Cook- . . . , . Stove will do anything, from heating a

kettle of water to cooking a course dinner, but it won't heat a room. It doesn't "smell," it doesn't smoke. It can't get out of order. Light it and it is ready. Turn it down and it is out. Only a woman who knows the trouble Of carrying coal and cooking in a hot kitchen can appreciate what it means to have a clean, perfect stove that will cook anything, boil, bake or roast, and yet-won't heat the kitchen. How is if done? The flame is controlled in turquoise-blue enamel chimneys, and directed against the bottom of pot, pan, kettle or oven, and only there. The flame operates exactly where it is needed and nowhere else. With this stove your kitchen is cool. The nickel finish with the bright blue of the chimneys makes the stove ornamental and attractive.

That uncertain and lntanplble thing,

the political searchlight, focused its rays In Gary a few days ago and made

lght some interesting things hitherto

obscured by the veil of secrecy. Dur

ing the lost few days Editor Carr of the Gary Tribune has been assailing the census supervisor by attacking the census force in the steel city.

Canae a Mystery. The cause of these editorial shafts

have been a mystery in view of the

fact that when an examination for

census takers was held In Gary every applicant failed o obtain the required grade. In consequence Supervisor

Doran, it; is said, was obliged to come to Gary and personally request the

present census takers to accept the

positions- They did this after much

persuasion.

Attacking; Crum packer. A few days ago the Tribune suddenly

attacked the census methods In Gary and wound up by sending an indignant

telegram to Congressman Crumpacker. These attackts have been continued

and. the Tribune is in a high state of dudgeon over the offense X?) to civic pride when the census is not nearly completed. However, a theory was offered which may solve the indignation of the editor and also enlighten the public upon some of the attacks which the erstwhile republican organ made upon Congressman Crumpacker at the time he was seeking renomlnatVon. He Wanted It Himself. . According to the tale which has now come to light, Carr was desirlous of being appointed census supervisor for this district. However, Congressman Crumpacker did not aid him in his ambitions and the result was that Presi

dent Taft gave the commission to Francis Doran, of Michigan City. A short while after the congressman was made the subject of a series of editorial attacks. Whether Mr. Carr's

Jealousy of Mr. Doran has prompted

him to assail the census methods in Gary is not known. However, if the story is true" the reason for the attacks upon Congressman Crumpacker and Supervisor Doran are quite apparent. y
