BIG THING FOR GARY

Gary -Will Be on the County's Automobile Map When Fifth Avenue and Whiting Extension Roads Are Completed.

four and two and other sections of the city. These sales will aggregate over twenty lots. Mr. Rundell. the treasurer ot the company, is more than ever confident of the future of real estate,in this section and is one of the most active and enterprising Lake County "Good Citizens", lie has been prominent in advertising the best interests of the county and district and active in promoting its welfare.

Gary Is not on the automobile map. Twelve months from now it will be there and in big black letters. The steel city is going to be the most interesting point on the roads leading from Chicago to Crown Point, South Bend and Indianapolis. What Xew Road Mean. "With the completion of Fifth avenue and the road between Whiting and Indiana Harbor and Gary will have direct access on the west to Indianapolis boulevard, the high way leading over the state line to Chicago. To the east it will have direct connections by means of Fifth av-enue extended to Miller where the Hobart road which intersects all eastern and southern roads has its northern terminus. Under the existing road scheme travelers from Chicago pass through Ham

mond en route to Indiana points. If

they come to Gary by way of Borman boulevard its like running up a track on a one-horse railroad. ' The tie up on

the bridge over the Little Calumet river blocks the route to Crown Point, the lake is to the north and a trail.

not a road, through the woods to Miller

giws no outlet to the east. Will Doom Miller.

For this reason Gary is an isolated proposition as far as automobile travel

i3 concerned. All cars bound for Hocsier points go through Hammond but after the roads mentioned are completed Gary will attract many of the

tourists. So will Indiana Harbor and Miller become magnets. The summer resort advantages of the latter town will be boomed and the Gary hotel and restaurant proprietors will also profit much by the auto parties.

money of the astonished audience was refunded at the box office and "Duffy", who in addition to his many other attainments, is also a graduate of the law department of Valparaiso University, brought suit the next day against a

well known Valparaiso lodge member or kidnapping members of his cast, although it was hinted that he had "sold out" to persons interested in preventing temperance agitation. Following his encounter at Des Moines' "Duffy" returned to his - home at Valparaiso where he subsequently became interested in the temperance cause and immediately started to prepare a series of lectures upon the liquor quetslon with which he thinks he has had enough personal experience during his past life to be of benefit to his fellowman. In an Interview with a Times ronrsertatlve he said: "1 am through with the Tire ITiave been living. I intend to quit it and do something for humanity.

CHEAT DEMAND FOR' GARY REGION REALTY

ThAt Gary and district real estate is In the market and that there is a great demand for it is demonstrated afresh by the experience of the members of the Borman Realty Company, whose office is situated in Tolleston. During the past week they have disposed of many lots in Fenton's addition, the South Bend addition of the Gary Land Company, Rundell's addition, the Boulevard addition, Rundell's addition Nos.

HARROR LADY CAN'T GET HER DIVORCE

Judge Virgil S. Reiter refused to grant a divorce to Minnie Timm in the case she brought against Max Timm of Indiana Harbor. In refusing to grant the divorce Judge Reiter lectured the couple on the subject of their differences. Timm, who is 5 years old married a woman 18 years his junior. He had a son by a former marriae and she had a daughter previous to her marriage to Timm . although sho had never been legally married. , Together they had seven children and

the three sets of children were the cause of the trouble. The judge recited these facts, which had been brought out in the evdence and stated that they had beeter see if they could not get togethe rand patch up their differences. Mrs. Timm's first daughter" is said to hae caused most of the trouble and the judge advised them to let her go out into the world and take care of her self as she is a young woman 25 years of age. In this way the cause of the friction would be removed.

On account of the inability to secure certain land grants at Joliet. the Elgin, Joliet and Eastern, Railroad, Jollefs second largest employer of labor, is seriously contemplating moving its general offices, shops and yards to

Gary. A five thousand dollar expenditure for extension of yards and shops was authorized by the road a few months ago, but work is held up by the dispute and General Superintendent P. F. McManus said today that a complete transfer to Gar was seriously contemplated. '"Gary has the facilities and we can get all the territory for extension work we desire said Mr. McManus. The directors of the road are all eastern men. They are Interested in Gary first, and Gary second, because It Is the city of their planning and of their pride. They therefore look at that city as the place to build the car repair shops and establish the general offices." The only reason why this had - not been done even months ago. was the position taken by the chief employes living in Joliet, who made it plain that

they did not car to go to Gary; that their home is there and there they want to live. "Included In this argument, right along, has been the contention that hundreds of the minor employes now living here and move them ductors, engineers, machinists and others in the shops.

In speaking of the situation at Joliet the Joliet Herald has the following to

say:

The removal of the general offices and yards to Gary means that Instead

of spending a million .dollars or so for

new yards and shops, and putting an

other thousand men at work, the company will withdraw that many employes no wliving here and move them

to Gary. It means that Instead of an additional $100,000 or so a month being

spent for wages in Joilet we will lose

that amount of money now being spent

here.

It means the loss of still more money

which will be spent in Joliet If the shops are establihed here. The life of a car without extensive repairs is but

three years and all the equipment must be replac3 or partially rebuilt that

often.

Should the "J" reduce Joliet to a "way station," there is little question

that much of the product now coming

from the Steel mills at Joliet will be

abandoned here and be diverted to

Gary. w;

The move would be a catastrophe;

It would strike such a blow as a score

of panics would not equal. The difference between the "J" staying in Joliet or going to Gary means at least $2,000,000 a year to Joliet or five per cent on $40,000,000. What the increase of $100,000 a month spent in wages means to every storekeeper, eery mechanic, every laborer; what it means for city improvements, any reader can estimate for himself. What the sudden withdrawal of $100,000 a month from circulation means, will make any person in Joilet who stops to reflect, shudder. The city can have the increase for the asking if it will close Meeker avenue and allow the "J" to build its shops and yards. It will lose it and probably eventual

ly $200,000 a month more at the drop of the hat, if the privilege Is refused. The officials of the E., J. & E., who are enthusiasts over Gary, want to make the move. Those friendly to Joliet are able to put the improvement here if the city will permit. The Gary people are only waiting for the excuse to force the move. It is said that the property owners on Meener avenue now favor the plan of the "J." For some reason a few aldermen are holding out. The opposition of these men may, drive the railroad headquarters from Joliet. The opposition is not to be tolerated a minute longer. It Is time for an uprising. The council and the highway commissioners can settle the matter In short order. If they do not express a willingness to act the citizens should gather this week in a mass meeting which will compel action.

Popular Gary Pastor Arranges for "Well-Earned i Rest.

Rev. Father Thomas Francis Jansen,

rector of Holy Angel's Roman Catholic parish, Gary, will leave Monday for a vacation yo be spent in Minnesota. Since his assignment to the Gary charge by Bishop Alerding of Fort Wayne in 1906 Father Jansen has not been absent from his duties a week.

He came to Gary from Hobart and

was the first clergyman on the ground.

Mass was said In various places until

theBinzenhof hall was erected. Here services were conducted until the completion of the $75,000 church and school building in the spring of 1909. Father Jansen is now the rector of one of the

finest parishes in the state. Attached to the church is the parochial school which now has grammar grades and

will have a high school department possibly next year.

While In Minnesota the Gary priest

will visit relatives In Red Wing, St. Paul and Winona. He will be gone three weeks. A priest from the Uni

versity of Notre Dame will take Father

Jansen's place during his absence.

Anton Potkiel. the East Chicago saloonkeeper whose name was mentioned in the dispatches of Chicago papers as being the brother of a man who was killed on the Lake Shore track last Sunday, returned to East Chicago from Chesterton last night after having made Inquiries. He found that the deceased 'was no relative and Potkiel was at a loss to explain how he came to have his name on a slip of paper. The body could not be identified.

ENGINEERS VISIT GARY YESTERDAY Members of the American Society of Civil Engineers, which is holding Its annual convention at the Congress hotel in Chicago, yesterday visited Gary. In the evening a regular session of the convention was held, with the chief feature an illustrated lecture by J. Waldo Smith of New York. Tomorrow teome of the engineers will go down the drainage canal to Lockport. while others will inspect the Fisk street power station of the Commonwealth Edison company, the new passenger terminal of the Northwestern road and other points of Interest.

Governor's plan he would be slow t show opposition. So, according to this story, Fleming went away with the understanding that he was to name the state oil inspector. This sstory was told a few days after the state convention by one of the leading Democrats of Indianapolis, who said he knew the facts. At any rate, the Governor has announced that the next state oil inspector will come from Fleming's district. Some of the Governor's friends have denied the story for him. They say nothing of the kind ever happened, and that the Governor is free to make any appoimeht he pleases. There are now only thirty oil Inspectors In the state. There have been as many as forty two, tfut this number was reduced by the present Inspector. Under the law the head of the inspection bureau is called the superisor of oil inspection. The salary of the office is $2,500 a year with little or nothing to do but make reports to the state auditor every three months, and pay the money into the state treasury. The oil inspectorship is one of the choice olums in the state house. Under the law a fee is charged for inspecting oil. All of the money collected in tiis manner is divided equally between the inspector and the state.

The inspector gets one half of the fees

he collects and he takes this instead

of a salary. In some districts or counties in the state the deputy In

spectors make good money, while in

smaller counties and districts the in come is less.

Last year the fees collected by the bureau of oil inspection amounted to

$84,000. Of this sum the deputies re

cetved $42,000 as their share of the

fees. After all expenses had been paid for the maintenance of the bureau the state netted about $39,000 from this source 'st year.

Governor Marshall announced yes

terday also that when he appoints "a new oil inspector he will recommend to him that he appoint Tom Bresnahan.

city editor of the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette, deputy for Fort Wayne, and

E .J. Toomey. of South Bend, deputy for that city. Of course, the recommendation of the Governor will amoupt virtually to an order, so that the appointment of these two men is assured-

Just to show how much the deputy

oil inspectorship is worth In the various parts of the state, it may be pointed out that Walter Derr, the present deputy at South Bend, makes about

$1,200 a year out of the Job; Alfred G. Lukens, deputy at Fort Wayne, about $1,500; Charles Taylor, deputy at Richmond, a little less than $1,000, and J. G. Gaessle, of Chesterton, deputy for Lake County, about $1,000. L J. SCHWABACHER & GO. H. J.

BOARD OF REVIEW VISITS SIEEL PLANT

Biggest Bit of Taxables in Lake County Viewed byTaxing Body.

Lake county's board of review looked over the biggest taxable thing in Indiana yesterday. It was the Gary plants and other properties of the United States Steel corporation. Whether the board is satisfied that Township Assessor John McFadden assessed high enough could not be learned. The board is not worrying whether its too low as th steel corporation has not complained about its . assessments. The board members present were: County Assessor William Black, County Auditor

Johnson, County Treasurer Maack, Walter Allman, Crown Point and W. S.

Patterson of Gary. They were escort

ed through the steel plant by H. P.

Gleason, general superintendent of the

Indiana Steel company and Capt. II.

S. Norton, property agent of the Gary Land company which is the corpora

tion's realty holding company. After the 'steel plant inspection visits were

paid to the sites of the tin plate and

bridge plants, the Kirk yards, and the property in the city proper.

Following this Mr. Patterson took

the board to. the Gary hotel where they lunched as his guests. One day this week the North township industries will be visited.

(Special to The Times.) East Chicago. June 23. This is slack

season with the steel mills and for two days within the past week, both the Interstate and the Republic were closed down. This is partly due to the fact that there is labor agitation in all lines of trade, and then, too, at this time of year there generally a lull In orders. The mills usually take advantage of this lull, to shut down for their annual overhauling and the steel and iron trade' comes as near striking bed rock as it ever does, excepting in times of panic. Manager Charles Johns of the Interstate this morning said that there was nothing ominous at all in the fact of the shut down above recorded. The mill is running full blast again. These slack days,"; said Mr. Johns, "are likely to recur from time to time for some little time, 'but there is nothing- out of the ordinary in this. In fact the general tone of the trada is seadily

"Desirez vous noir le monsieur bucky byrow?" queried Deputy Constable Dearbyne who twisted his Armenian tongue to convey the softest Parisian accents. ( "Ach Peevo, be shut yet, Meester Huber he ees da bucky byrow," came from the demure maiden. Just then a fly landed on a bald spot on the Judge"s dome of thought. He awoke. "Auxj- mush und Jin dobra," saluted Judge Huber, who has made a wide ac
