East Chicago, Oct. 15. Quite an array of street car traffic talent including
Gen. Mgr. C. N. WUcoxson of the South
Shore and SupU Green of the Green Line was present in East Chicago yesterday, and a tempest in a teapot was stirred up when officials of the South
Shore line discovered the work that was going forward at the corner of Forsyth avenue and Chicago avenue, where
the Shore Shore and the Hammond, Whiting and East Chicago lines cross. Owing to the paving this crossing is now torn up and Incidentally it has been deeded to dspense with siv of the posts which have been an eyesore on this most prominent intersection In the business district. In order to do this the two street car companies will be forced to use the same posts, four of which are to be allowed to remain standing for the support of the electrical . equipment necessary while six are to b removed. Three of the extra posts are on the Friedman corner, while the other are located on each on the other three corners.
General Manager C N. Wlleoxson of the South Shore line sustained internal injuries when he discovered that "the city had taken up the matter of dispensing with the unnecessary : posts, with Assistant Superintendent Gray instead of doing business with headquarters. The city administration was subjected to a bawling cut on account of this, as he regarded it, business selecism, but Manager Wileoxson calmed down after a bit and everything was satisfactorily arranged.

evening In the interest of the new Indiana A Northwestern Traction company. Eugene Purtelle, the promoter
of the new line, arrived here in the evening and the meeting was called to order by John Miller, jr., who introduced Mr. Purtelle to the audience.
Mr. Purtelle explained to the people present, the object of the meeting was tc appoint a committe to secure the right-of-way for his line through St.
John township towards Crown Point

ple could well afford to donate the right-of-way to the company building
the line. Furthermore he stated that the com
pany will begin to work at once after
the right-of-way has been secured
without asking for an ystock to be
bought, only help to get the right-of-way and leave the rest to them. The cemmittee appointed to secure the
right-of-way are: Rev. A. M. Bucheit

heavy black veil to cover up her face
which was a mass of bruises, one eye being totally closed. "When asked to give her story she would not testify

that the court give him another chance. Neighbors say that Davis and his wife

Two more subsidiary companies of the United States Steel, corporation" are paying their employes today. They are the Gary plant of the American
Sheeet and Tin Plate company and tie
lUl'n, Jolict and Eastern railway.
The railroad company's pay roll
which is being paid oft today amounts to $57,000 while the tin plate construction
pay roll wheh is semi-monthly amount
to $5,000. From the foregoing it would
be assumed that the tin plate's con struction pay roll amounted to but $10,
000 a month. However, a great deal o
work is being done by contractors such as the Raymond Concrete company and the Pittsburg Construction company.
Adding their pay rolls with the com
pany's regular rolls the men engaged in the tin plate mill construction get an actual total of $40,000 a month. This week the Indiana Steel company also had its pay days and the sum of $227,755.51 was paid out at the Gary plant.

The franchise was introduced by Alderman Szymanski some time ago and Mayor T. E. Knotts appointed him as chairman of the committee to report or. it. So far the south end alderman, who, together with Aldermen Castleman and Feuer constitute the committee, have failed to report on it, although it is said that strong pressure has been brought on him by those interested to make a decalaratlon of what the committee thinks of it.
