PENDING GARY COUNCIL Street Car Grants Up Before Aldermen That Have Been Taken From View Lately in Passing of Many More Pressing Events. Hidden under the kaleidescopic change of passing events are several fat franchises pending before the Gary common council for disposition. Some of them were born as far back as last spring but tfiey are there nevertheless and any Monday night seem brought out of dormant committees and created into valuable potentialities to the grantees. Street car grants predominate. The south of the Little Calumet river franchise which is wanted both by the Oary and Interurban and the SeamonClarv and Crown Point -line has precipiated quite a tempest but a solution is seen in the council's decision to present to Seamon a franchise that will enable him to operate his cars into the Gary limits and up South Broadway to the Little Calumet river where he can make connections with the Gary and Interurban which Is now built up o that point. The Knc'chnrt Franchise. There there is another frnuchise grant asked by Tmothy V. Knglehardt r.nd a group of Lake county cnpitajlsts said to be composed of A. Murray Turner of Hammond and A. F. Knotts brother of Gary's mayor. Their request is for the right to operate cars from the Hobart limits and along Ridge road to Broadway. For long time another company would essay the same right. It is the Gary- Hobart and Valparaiso traction lino which is backed by former United Rtatea. Senator Hopkins of Illinois and others. Pending also is another franchise called the Seventh avenue one which '.s one of the most questionable propositions presented to any city council. Alderman Castleman is said to be the chief beneficiary of this little piece of business. It would give the possessors the right to operate cars on Seventh avenue, KIghth, on Jackson street, other imposing residential thoroughfares and about Jefferson park the half million dollar recreation park that the steel corporation stands ready to give to the people of Gary. A Rival Line Planned f -This franchise, if it is secured -will be very valuable to the owners and a destructive proposition to property holders who own sites along its route. It would mean the desecration of the park and Jackson street. However, from a financial standpoint to the owners, it ought to be worth a half million and would constitute a valuable link to any future line tkat would paralle the South Shore 'interurban system. In fact some time ago Alderman Castleman secured a franchise from the. Whiting city council, a grant which is also odoriferious in its makeup. This is link number one and of late the alderman has been buzzing around the East Chicago city hall, link number two? Gary might be link number three. H rot her A. F. Would Be Can Magnate. Another franchise of some importance is the grant which Brother A. F. Knotts seeks from the city council. It Is to give him the privilege to operate jras. water, electric light and steam heat plants in the city, to build under ground tunnels, aerial transmission pipes, and in fact all kinds of transmission rights on, above nd under the . earth. The securing of this would enable him, if it financed, to compete with the Gary, Heat, Light and Water company which is a part of the steel cor- . poration and which furnishes the light and water utilities to the city operating under the grant made by the town board. However, if any one thinks that Mr. Knotts is seeking the franchise for his health they are "mistaken. If he gets it he and a few others will be on the road to riches. In fact a few little dinners at Rector's in Chicago with sweet confidences exchanged over the wine glasses attests to this. Just as soon as Mr. Knotts get the light and water franchise and just as soon as Mr. Castleman's litle grant can be passed some eastern capitalists will get busy and there will be plenty of money to finance the propositions. Waiting For a Report. Kixtts- light and water franchise was introduced by Alderman Szymanski and Mayor Thomas E. Knotts made him the chairman of the committee to report on it. However, he has not doneso yet, perhaps being engrossed with .other cares of state, but nevertheless every Monday night while Brother Tom is reviewing the business to come up before the house Brother A. F. has many earnest conferences with the Hon. Szymanski but as yet the latter has shown no disposition to do anything, t HARBOR MAN GETS PATENT Washington. D. C, Oct. 24.

There was no contest for the next convention, as the association has , a custom of meeting in Ind'.i napolis , about once every two years. The city last entertained the association in 1908. The closing session was poorly attended, as delegates from the southern part of the state left for home following an address last night by Carl IT. Milam, of Indianapolis, secretary of the Indiana public library commission, and Professor Stanley Coulter of Purdue university. The two addresses on the subject of "Rural Work" were the closing features of the program.

poration, were received by President Taft in the East room, of the White House Saturday morning. . It was said at the White House that the visit of the steel barons was of a purely social nature and; that the usbject of a reported contemplated suit against the Steel Trust was not mentioned. " The President -welcomed the

visiting steel men in a short address on the importance of the industry. Shortly after the departure of the steel men Attorney General Wickersham reached the White House. He denied the published report that the Department of Justice is contempxting the beginning of a suit against the Steel Trust. The attitude of the "Department of Justice is understood to pe that it will institute no proceedings of this charac ter until the United States Supreme Court renders its decision relatives to the Sherman anti-trust law, which is on test through the Standard Oil and Tobacco Trust cases now before that tribunal.

occurred and-who' fled after" the Incident but returned yesterflay, was In vited to take a drink with the latter. He left the saloon with the excuse that he would return In a moment'to enjoy In the proffered cup, but when he came back it was in company with Officer Clyde Spencer who placed Casprass under arrest. The figtu occurred in the saloon of Adam Kaseternik, One Hundred and Fiftieth and Melville avenue and after the incident, the police took into

custody one Stevel Black, in the belef that Steve was the evl doer, Black was exonerated of the charge however, and the officer went back to find Casp.rass, who Faske accused. Casprass however had fled the scene.

The culprit remained in hiding until christian Church of Gary broke anyesterday when he sauntered into other speed record Saturday by raising town. He immediately visited his funds at the rate of $30 a minute, get-

ravorttes haunt, the Kasternik saloon. . and chance led Faske to the same establlshment. It was then that the two principles in the fight met, the drink was proffered and Kaske went out presumably, to return anon and quaff the cup which spelled truce between him and his enemy. Casprass bemoaned his fate. Said "no play fair. Me go out of town, come back one day. Policeman arrest. And there you are." Casprass has settled Faske's doctor bill and will likely settle a fine in ad dition. S. GETS ENGINES FOR OLD ONES (Special to The Times.) . Indiana Harbor, Oct. 24.
