East Hammond Scene of Sad , - Affair Last Night in Which Babe of Steel , Worker Is Trampled on by Horse Under Strange Circumstances The fifteen months old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Gruszka, 534 Morton avenue in East 'Hammond, was accidentally killed last night when a wagon belonging to Sam Carley and driven by William Hart struck her. Up to noon today the inquest had not yet been held and consequently the reports about the accident varied. The accident happened In the alleg between Morton and Ames avenue off Howard avenue, acclrding to the police report, while another report is to the effect that Hart's team instead of following the driveway In the alley went Into a lot where the child was playing in the Sand. The accident happened about t O'clock. Two hundred people gathered around the scene of - the accident in a short time but no violence was threatened the driver. He was placed under two hundred dollars bond which he furnished and bis case has been continued until after the inquest. "I did not know I struck the child," said Hart to a Times reporter today, "until somebody called my attention. I was busy chasing some boys off the rear end of my wagon and that- explains wby I did not see the child ahead me." , Officer FTed Frenck was on the scene immediately and a physician was also summoned in a hurry. The child ap pea red to have been struck on the back Of the head either by the hoof of a horse or bya wagon wheel. Tha little girl Is the only child of the Gruazkas who moved here from Chicago. . The mother was almost hys terlcal because, of her loss and would not be consoled by the sympathetic words of her neighbors. The father is employed at the Standard Steel Car -works. Undertaken Kmleo of East Chicago has charge of the funeral which has ben arranged for tomorrow morning. Services will be held in the Polish Catholic church In Hammond and interment will take place in Holy Cross cemetery. The cooler breezes brought relief to the "people of the Calumet region today despite the predictions to the contrary. Yesterday, however, was the hottest and most uncomfortable day of the year. In addition to the heat prostrations that were reported by Thb Times yesterday there were two others that were not made known until today. Henry Borchert, who lives on the north side was prostrated with the heat and Dr. T. W. Oberlin was called to attend him. His case was not serious and he will recover, . Mrs. Bert Newell fell in front of the Harnmond Distillery yesterday and was " removed to the office where Dr. B. W. Chldlaw was called. She was removed to her residence on Cedar street where she recovered consciousness. Another woman whose name could not be learned was prostrated at her horn i the south side. A great many people suffered with the heat yesterday and had to take special care to prevent sickness. . , Deton Advise Caution. . In all five heat prostrations were reported yesterday and it is expected .that if all the prostrations had been ".reported by the doctors that the number would have been even larger. The doctors attribute the succeptabllity of certain people to these attacks to the fact that they are in poor health and that their physical condition is not what it ought to be. A number of doctors are advising their patients not to drink Ice water or beer on these hot days. . They say these cold drinks drive the blood to the head and the hot weather does the rest. The doctors also advise their pationts not to eat any gieat amount of meat. They say that they should adopt a diet of vegetables and fruits and avoid . food that develops heat.

ESCAPE AT Many Lake Shore PassengersPlaced in Peril of Their Lives by Neglect of Flyer's Engineer to Sound Bell or Blow Whistle. (Special to Thb Times.) Indiana Harbor June 24. One man was Injured night before last and about thirty others narrowly escaped injury, when an East bound mall train passed the Lake . Shore station, between the depot and the 9:42 west bound passenger, which had stopped to discharge and take- on passengers.

JUDGE REITER REFUSED TO GRANT IT Marital Mixup in Superior Court Results in No Divorce. A number of divorce cases were heard In theLake superior court yesterday. The case of B. Burk vs. Frank Burk was one of the most interesting. Mrs. Burk had filed a complaint for a divorce and her husband had filed a cross complaint. It was finally decided that' Mrs. Burk would drop her complaint and that Mr. Burk would get the divorce. Attorney Sickman represented Mrs. Burk but did not make an appearance this' morning. Burk's case against his wife was then tried and Charles E. Greenwald, representing the state, appeared against Burk. . In the evidence of the witness Greenwald discovered that Mr. and Mrs. Burk. had lived together since the filing of the complaint and so the divorce was refused by Judge Reiter. Mrs. Burk runs a saloon at No. 5 State street. A divorce was granted in the case of Moonshower vs. Moonshower. THEY -BOTH RODE THE James Trost, baittlff in the city court and Attorney Robert McAleer presented themselves for initiation in the Elk lodge last night. This morning both were apparently none the worse for their experiences, but it was noticeable that the otherwise gaily suited bailiff wore a two piece suit of more sombre color today. As for Bob McAleer, he wants to be present .when, the next class of candidates ride's the goat.

STATE STREET PATCH WORK IfjJOUR PLAGES Complaint Regarding WayWork Is Being Done on Thoroughfare. A great deal of complaint has been made of the action of the Hammond board of public works in authorizing the paving of only that portion of State street from Oakley avenue to Calumet avenue. The pavinng of State street has already been done by patches so that it will be years before the matter can finally be straightened out. The first part of State street to be paved was from the state line to Hohman street. The next patch to be paved was from Hohman street to Oakley avenue and this was done a year or two after the first. The third patch to be done will be from Oakley avertue to Sohl street, the paving of which was recently authorized and in a year or two it will be necessary to pave State street from Sohl to Calumet avenue. This means that before State street is paved from the state line to Calumet avenue there will be four different patches of pavements put, in all of different ages. When the West State street paving wears out the paving from' Sohl street will be in good condition and this patching process will have to be continued indefinitely. CASE VS.

The contractors all over . Lake coun ty are uniting for the purpose of handling the labor situation. There is a Lake -County Contractors' association In the process of organization that will include every contractor that Is en gaged in the building trades In the county. The contractors claim that the de velopment of the entire region is be ing hindered by the demands of the labor unions. Whether or not these claims can be backed up by the facts remains to be seen, however. The union men scout the Idea. A petition is being circulated In Hammond, East Chicago, Indiana Harbor and Gary that already has the names of the principal contractors in (Continued on page seven. j GRANT HAS NEW PROBLEM ON HAND How to Carry Out Court's Order and Keep Prisoners From Public View. (Special to Thb Times. ) Crown Point. Ind.. June 24. In speaking of the probability of working the prisoners at the county Jail upon public work and highways Sheriff Grant voiced his opinion of the topic now much under discussion and although favoring the plan to a reat extent said that there were times and conditions when the idea of working the criminals, under strong guard in public places might prove more of a detriment morally to the prisoners themselves and the public at large than the benefit derived from their work. The sight of a man working upon a public highway under guard or with a ball and chain attached to him, is not an elevating spectacle and It Is a matter of common ( knowledge hat a criminal obliged to spot himself before the public gare Is liable to be more or less insulting to male and female alike and therefore Sheriff Grant does not believe in the practicability of working the- prisoner in towns or cities. The Lake County sheriff says that Just .as , soon as an appropriation is made to pay for guards etc, and the proper order is given him he is perfectly willing to try the plan, although he believes that the prisoners should be kept at work in places as little frequented by the public as possible. The sheriff "has made quite a study of the question and has some excellent ideas as to the feasibility of the plan. BURNS DITCH CASE COIITIIiUED TO OGT.iO Petitions Are Disappointed Over Fact and Work Cannot Begin Till Next Year. The Burns ditch case yesterday went over until October 10. It was hoped that Judge Steis would be able to complete the hearing of the attorneys on the matter of the assessments this week in time to take up the trial of another case in Pulaski county next Monday but yesterday he saw that he could not get through and so it was decided to continue the case until next fall. The continuance case as a surprise to the attorneys in the case and those who represented the petitioners are very much disappointed. It means a further delay of several months and will make it impossible to begin the work on the ditch before next year. The case,has been one of the moit hotly contested that was ever tried In this locality and resulted In a victory for the people and the defeat of he railroad attorneys who were fighting the proposition, .

MILLER TO GET SHOPS New Right of Way Will Go Over Chicago Terminal Tracks. The most important piece of railroad news that has in many years broken in the Calumet region has been gleaned by THE TIMES and verified after many rumors. Improvements to be made by the Baltimore and Ohio railroad in Lake county contemplate the expenditure of more than five million dollars and an entire change of its route in the west end of Lake county. Of these items the principal ones are : ABAXDOS OM I.IXE. 1 The abandonment of the half century old route between Pine and Chicago via South Chicago, the latter sta tion to be put off its main line altogetehr. 2. The new right of way to Chicago will be over the tracks of the Chicago and, Calumet Terminal railway which the Baltimore "and Ohio recently pur chased for $20,000,000. 3. This right of way of the terminal company will fnak 'East Chicago, Hammond and Dolton, 111., important stations on the Baltimore and Ohlos main line. TAKEN OVEl BY E. J. & E. 4. Th present right of way from Pine to Indiana Harbor will be taken (Continued on Page Sevon.) ATTORNEY WILL TAKE STATEAUTO TRIP But Will Not Conduct an Active Candidacy Until - September. If Attorney Joseph Ibach of Hammond is out for the elusive Judgeship on the appellate bench, for which he has been nominated bj- the democrats of Indiana, he is not campaigning as hard as he might at the present time, that is as far as appears on the surface. Judge Ibach said today that he had not been very active thus far and intimated that things politically would not be stirred up until about September. In the meantime he expects to enjoy a vacation, putting in such incidental licks as relight lie within range. About the first of next month Judge Ibach expects as part of his vacation to take an auto tour through part of the state and this undoubtedly will bring him in touch with many of the leading men of the party. In the meantime Judge Ibach is in the hands of his friends who are determined to see htm clother with the ermine. Nor are his friends in the democratic party alone. PROMOTER PURTELLE 111 TRE CITY TODAY Says That Constuction Work on Fayette Street Will Begin Next Week. Eugene Purtelle, the promoter of th Indiana Northwestern Traction company was in Hammond today to go over the territory for the new line. Mr. Purtelle told The Times that his company expected to begin on the construction work on' Fayeite street In Hammond next week and that the material was ordered and ready to be put down. The company will file its cash forfeit money and bond next week. The 'surveyors -for -the -line are at work now and are surveying the line near Munster now. Mr. Purtelle is in hopes that the road can be built as far as Cedar Lake by the close of the year. The Hammond-Dyer end is to be ruahed at once.
