but coffee sacks, camels and bears they were a very astonished set. And, greater was the electrification of a crew of Swedish sand shovelers when they beheld the advance guard which was made up of the Bedouins mounted on chargers, wearing flowing clothes land carrying long-stocked rifles. . Some of the workmen who had heard of the different kind of foreigners at Gary took them for Garyites of an unknown variety. Others more apprehensive hid behind the sand cars. Enemy and Frlenda Together. Camp was pitched near Mount Bald Top. Here about 300 feet above the lake level is a square plateau on one of the sand dunes. In true Arab style the company pitched the tents of the desert and friend and enemy sat down side by side to eat lunch. Along side stood a motley crowd of Dune Park natives who were somewhat suspicious at first and kept out of pistol range of the strangers. Then the fun began. Producer Turner began to line up the company to start the battle. It was planned that the Arabs were to bring into camp a captured English officer who later escapes, etc. "Entering; the Desert." But here is where the hitch came. Scene number one was put on the boards. It was called "Entering the Desert." First came a crowd of Chicago negroes wearing nothing more than waist bands and who portrayed the Berber porters. Then came the camels . and Anally the expedition of English calvary. Every detail was there and even the red-coated and gold-braided colonel had the Victoria cross on his breast. Just as the colored gem'men were leading the camels that were th6 admiration of the Gary Mohammadens the evening previous. Into the scorching desert Old Ben the leading camel suddenly stopped, then kicked Us feet high in the air and snorted for Joy. All of the others followed suit and great was the commotion when the beasts chased the negroes who ran away with cries of fear. "Dem camels," said one fleeing darky, "Dey sure done think that they ah back In the Fawhara desert. See how dey am snorting and frisking around In this here sand." The darky w-as right for such was the case. The camels really thought that they were back in their native haunts-and once that Idea got into their head they became frisky and charged every one right and left. Whole columns of the King's Coldstreams guards were charged, the negroes ran towards the lake and the motion camera men took shelter in a clump of bushes. Camel Get Frlky. The camels were -lld with Joy and soon they had everything to themselves. Finally they learned that the Indiana

sand dunes are far more tiresome than the burning ones of the Sahara so they gradually calmed down. Then seeing that the coast was clear Producer Turner shouted out to the company: "For the love of Mike are we going to have those blankety blank camels snorting around here all day," At this the darkies took courage and after the recalcitrant beasts were bastinadoed with barrel staves they were more submissive. ' Garyites Are Chased. Rehearsals were then In order and three scenes of the battle were then taken. Photographer Crose of Gary and some local newspaper men who were present posed as war correspondents but. when one of the camels threatened to demolish Mr. Crose's camera, and when another nearly bit the ear off one of the scribes the war correspondents" repaired to points of vantage less strenuous. Among the Garyites present looking on and who were chased by the camels were W. S. Parry, Dr. E. L. Schalble, J. V. Cooley, Col. Dee, Ralph Bloomhuff and many others. Today the real battle will be staged and this afternoon if the camels do not get on another rampage a great time No.

The stockholders of the Gary & Interurban railroad, at their annual meeting held yesterday afternoon in the offices of the company, authorized the issue of (10,000,000 worth of 6 per cent gold bonds to provide forall future uses of the road.

The directors will hold a meeting later on In the week and will elect officers. Gavit Is Optimistic Frank N. Gavit, president of the Gary & Interurban, In a statement to a Times reporter was very optimistic over the future prospect ofthe road, and said: "The Gary & Interurban railway is turning out to be a greater project than we ever dreamed of. Our Broadway and Gary-Hammond divisions are excellent payers. On account of the wonderful faith In Gary's future we will have a ready sale of the bonds as financiers regard them as a gilt edge asset. In a short time we expect to make this line one of the largest and best paying lln the northern part of the state. The proceeds of the premier series of the -bond issue authorized yesterday and amounting to one million dollars will be devoted to immediate construction and extensions." Story in Times Was True. When asked if the Broadway line would ever be built to Crown Point, Mr. .Gavit said that it would not. He said that the present! extensions would consist of the Fifth avenue line, both east and west, and Just as soon as the Eleventh avenue Is opened east and they can secure the franchise the Eleventh avenue line would be built to the city limits. The company is also asking for a franchise In the Gary council which if granted they will begin the Immediate construction of the road to the southern city limit. The Fifth avenue extension will be first, however, and the work will be rushed to completion. When asked concerning the offer recently made by Chicago capitalists of $500,000 for the purchase of the road, Mr. Gavit said that the story several days ago appearing In The TriiEs was true, but the prospects of the road's future were so bright that they had no intention of disposing of the line at this time.

ILLMIE 01 HOUSES Pittsburg advices are to the effect thai the American Bridge and the American Sheet Steel and Tin Plate company will manage the building of its own houses In the new second subdivision and maintain its own property agent here. Whether a subsidiary land company is to be organized to manage its properties and the lots it has purchased from the parent corporation, has not been officially confirmed. It has been rumored that in the event of such a company being formed it would bear the name of the Ambrldge Land company. Whatever action is taken by these two companies In appointing a property agent of their owr , that position will never equal in importance the property agency of the Gary Land company, which ir held by Captain It. S. Norton. As the land company controls all of the steel corporation's property in this vicinity the property agents of the future companies will In a measure be subordinate to Captain Norton as the executive head of the entire Gary property division.

FORGER IS BUSY IN EAST CHICAGO (Special to The Times.) Bast Chicago, June 15. Two more saloonkeepers have been bitten hy one of the professional forgers who periodically circulates about the Ca-lii-met region, fleecing proprietors of wet goods emporiums. The latest victims are Councilman Daniel Varady whose buffet is located In Alexander avenue and N. Trilord, who conducts a saloon not far from the Varady place. The former was mulcted of $15.80 and the latter, of $15.45. The checks presented in payment for a drink, were both presented by the same man and signed with a rubber stamp bearing the name of the Calumet Dredging and Dock company. One of them, that cashed In the Varady place, was made out on a check of the First National Bank of Hammond In favor of John Summers, and the other was made out on a First National Bank of East Chicago, check. Both, In addition to the rubber stamp signature bore the name of S. E. Cameron, written in a bold hand with many flourishes. The check cashed In the Trilord saloon was made out In favor of Tom Daly, Mr. Varady was absent from the saloon at the time the alleged John Summers visited his place. Mrs. Varady served the customer with a drink, and accepted the rheck In payment. After she had made the change and the stranger had departed, she became suspicious and called the police. Chief Lewta responded to the call, and while he was examining the check, Varady himself walked In. He too scrutinized the paper, and declared It to be all right, and no more was thought about the incident, until the check was returned from the clearing house at Hammond, as worthless. At the same time the check received In the Trilord place was returned and both bits of paper were turned over to Chief Lewis with the request that he locate the passer if possible. It appears that there Is no such company as the Calumet Dredging and Dock company, either in this region or In Chicago. A couple of weeks ago a man supposed to have been the same person, passed a check purporting to have been signed by the East Chicago Company, with the name of C. A. Westborg, in addition. (Special to Thh Times.) Indiana Harbor, June 14. The question of who owns the white streak which Alderman James Burns saw or thought he saw as it flashed past him on Euclid avenue near 139th street last unday is what is agitating the mind of that city father now that the comet ha sbeen safely disposed of. Mr. Burns brought up the question of automobile speeding at the council meeting last night and used the incident as an example to prove the necessity for an ordinance governing the speed at which a machine should be run. When he first brought the matter up Mayor Schliecker wore a decidedly worried expression as did Alderman Schock, but when Mr. Schock guiltily Inquired the color of the machine. and Mr. Burns promptly responded, "white" the mayoralty features relaxed Into a smile but not so with Mr. Schock. After more questioning Mr. Burns stated that the auto went so fast he couldn't see It but declared there were five men In it. Mr. Schock then thought he saw a good alibi, as his machine only holds four and he suggested It must have been Mr. Stinebreder manager of the Republic mill who drives a big white touring car. When Mr. Stinebreder was asked about the matter, he said his conscience was clear as he never would be bothered driving five men around, but If Alderman Burns had declared that the car was loaded with ladies he might have to cudgel his memory bit to think what rouf' he had taken Sunday. v 'v Mr. Stinebreder having vindicated himself the burden of proof 'seems to rest with Alderman Schock as there are only two white automobiles In Indiana Harbor. .However Mr. Stinebreder did say he would buy if nothing more was said about It. TWO LOTS SOLD IN OLD PARK (Special to The Times.) East Chicago, Ind., June 15. Two more lots In tne old city park have been sold, the purchaser being Harry Stelnbreder, manager of the Republic Iron & Steel company, this city. It is Mr. Steinbreder's intention to Improve the property In the near future, but not at once. The purchase was mads from the Calumet Land company for approximately $5,000. Mr. Steinbreder has not decided just what he will build, but there Is no doubt that his building will not be less than two stories in height, stores and fiats, and of brick and stone construction. The building will be put up between now and spring. OUR TOWN DRITGGISTS say that Painkiller sells the best of any medicine they keep; during the hard times of the past year or two, there were none too poor to pay their "quarter" for a bottle of this indispensable family medicine.

Before they could be arrested they escaped. Facts Were True. Miss Edna Whittlleb was interviewed over the telephone this morning and stated that the facts as related above were true. She says the young man who drove the car was known as "Toots" Smith and is known in Hammond. The other young fellow was called "Irish" and the third young man was called '"Fat." She says she thought the young men had rented the car at some garage until "Fat" attempted to drive It and then she suspected that there was something wrong about the transaction. The girls returned to Hammond by street car and the auto was found In bad shape at the Peulenke garage.
