This factory is to be iocated in section two north of th Wabash tracks, east of the.Gary . and western '.high line, outh" of " the' site of the American locomotive company and just west of the Miller boundary line. . There are to be four buildings each two stories in height. The smallest structure ' will be the office building49x40 feet which will also contain an emergency hospital. Plans call for two factory buildings and a large
warehouse. . The West, factory building will be 360x189 feet which will give it approximately 140,000 square feet of space on the two. floors. The east factory building will be' of the same dimensions. Will Have Laws Wirahonc Situated between the two factory structures wtl be a large warehouse 360x125 feet. Running through the center of the warehouse will be tracks connecting with the company's yards which in turn 'have conoctions with all railroads in the vicinity. Ample room is permitted for future expanson.

TIMES Bl'RKAl', AT STATU CAPITAL.
Indianapolis, Ind., March 30. The great fire of yesterday morning which practically destroyed the magnificent capitol building of New York state at Albany stirred up some interest here in the question of what might happen if a Are were to start in the Indiana state house. . But all fears in that direction were set at rest by Thomas F. Colbert, custodian of the state house, who declared that it would be impossible for a Are to' do any considerable damasre in the Indiana capitol. The Indiana state house was built a little more than twenty years ago, and it is the only state house in the country that has ever been erected without, a taint or suspicion of graft. The legislature appropriated $2,000,000 for the erection of the building, and it was built and completed for $20,000 less than that sum. Twenty thousand dollars of the amount appropriated was turned back into the state treasury. In the state house corridor is a tablet on a well -setting out this fact as a matter of history. On the other hand the New York state house was to cost $4.Q0O.O0O and
it has already cost S2T.000.000. The

Indiana building was erected at a time when building material was cheap and when labor did not command as high wages as it does now, and this accounts in large measure for the low cost -of the building. And freedom from graft is the other element that ' entered into the state getting what it paid for. Anyone who has 'ever been in the
lndiana state house and examined the niassiveness of its constructidn will readily understand how impossible it would be for a fire to gain any headway in the building. The walls are solid and thick, and the offices are so clearly separated that, Mr. Colbert says, the contents of one office might be consumed but a fire ould not spread. . The eiectric wiring Is old and out of date, having been imbedded in the walls when they were built, and it is impossible now to get at the wiring to improve or overhaul it, but Colbert says experts have advised him
that there is not the slightest danger of fire from the wiring. Mr. Colbert
says he feels absolutely safe in say
ing that the Indiana state house could not be destroyed by fire.
SENSATION EXPECTED IN THIS CASE

SAVAGE MILL WITH
BARE KNUCKLES
(Continued from Page One.)
at the end of their turn at .2 o clock
the men accompanied by their friends started in search of a suitable arena.
They were careful that this hould be outside the mill property.
For a while the battle waged fast
and furious. It was give and take on
both sides, and before long there wwc
two bloody noses and the scene began
to take on a general sanguinary aspect.
Kane seemed to have the ..advantage of quickness of action, while his opponent had .that of weight. Both were game
as pebbles and flinched as no sort of
punishment. Twice Foster was
brought to his knees but he as up
again before he could be counted out
and at it. fighting amid a splatter of
blood quite fearsome to behold. FIGHT KOK 30 MIM TES.
The men fought doggedly for thirty-
Qjre minutes. without intermission, and at the end of that time, both tottering from weariness and with eyes already half closed, faces pounded almost beyond recognition, and 01001. smearing their features, they quit involuntarily. , , Kane, the smaller man seemed to have a shade the best of it. He was frightfully battered, however, one eye being closed completely, while his head was bruised so badly that it required swatching in a few yards of surgeons gauze, and one finger and a thumb were sprained. But after the fray he declared to his friends he would be
able to go to work today. His oppon
ent, according to last accounts, was resting quietly, but' might not be out quite so soon.

Representatives of the big Chicago real estate show, which is to be held in Chicago . next month, are visjfting
the cities in the Calumet region interesting the people in the project. . They visited Indiana Harbor last night and Secretary K. F. Johnston of the Hammond Business Men's association showed the maround town today. Hence they will go to Gary.

illustration. Mrs. Williams did not even employ an' attorney. ' wa's awarded damages to the amount of $2;i 028.50 and . the expense to her wias nothing. This, is admitted to be equal to a $3,000 or $4,000 yerdict. ,- Both Mrs. Williams and the United States Steel Co. were spared 'the expense of the trial.

Big Array of Legal Taleat.
Ballard asks for $3,500 as damages
for malicious prosecution in the shape of a tort judgement. If the jury returns a verdict favorable to him there
can be no exemption and he will have
the' right to levy first upon the per
sonal and then upon the other property
of any one or all of the defendants in
the case.
Attorneys Henry MacCracken and
Emrnett X. White of Seabright and
White are appearing for the defendnts
while Attorneys Bruce, Lotz, Ross anl
Stanton are counsel for the plaintiff.
Evicted From HI Home.
' Ballard lived in a house on Madison
street owned :by Mrs. Godwin who pur
chased it from Otto J. Borman of
Tolleston - acting as trustee in bank
ruptey. " At the outset Ballard had
rented -the1 place from Borman and when Mrs. Godwin pecured title sii
started suit in a justice court for
possession. Seabright and White acting
as her attorneys.
.Willie the suit was pending Ballard
was arrested on a warrant charging
him with trespass on February 8, 1910
and whil- he was locked up In the city
jail it is alleged that a wrecking crew under the foremanship of Albert Balla threw his furniture into the street and
ejected his . family. Ballard's eighty
year old grandmother wha. was foroed into the street was taken seriously ill
as a result and a few months ago she
passed away. Victim of "Wrecking Crew."
Ballard was arrested early in the morning and although bail was offered
for his release Mayor Knotts who was
then city, judge coukl not be reached
until four o'clock that day when Bal
lard was finally released on bonds after the "wrecking crew" had evicted his
family and hurled his furn.-ure into the street. A few days later Ballard was arrested on a bench warrant issued by Mayor Knotts charging him
with', contempt of court.
This ' time Ballard was picked up about 9:90 p. m.' and was forced to spend thevnight in a cell as the mayor was "absent" i and no one else could
endorse the papers for bailing nim out;
The prisoner, it is claimed, was locked
In a ceil with water on the floor severa
inches deep. It was heated to an
abnormal degree and the conditions
were such that he could not sleep. Hlgk Handed Work I Charged.
Two affidavitts charging Ballard
with malicious trespass are said to I have been made out by Mrs. Godwin but yesterday the lady declared that she remembered signing but one so the counsel for , the plaintiff will endeavor to show that the second one is fraudulent and evidence that if Ballard was released on the first charge the second one would land him back into the Jail.
A point was also scored for the plaintiff when Mr. Bormann testified that he had rented the house to Ballard and had accepted money from him. Showing that he was a bona fide tenant the plaintiff will endeavor to bring out that the eviction was without legal process and contrary to the law. . A" sensation was caused regarding the last year efforts of the Lake County
Bar Association to disbar Ballard. A. F. Knotts, brother . of the mayor is president of the association. It was told that Attorney White, who is now a member of the Gary safety board. Informed "Attorney Renollett that if he would . Induce Baljard .to. withdraw his suit the disbarment proceedings which have since fallen by the wayside would be withdrawn but this Ballard refused to do. More Suit to Folio-. Attorneys for Ballard declared last evening- , that another suit- involving Mayor Knotts, Chief of Police Martin and other city officers who had part
in his arrest "will "be made defendants in a second suit for damages. Friends of Ballard declare that the testimony
brought out yesterday will be used by him to secure the impeachment of tlie mayor and others on the statute gov
erning oppression." .
- Reanlt of Old Enmity. Ballard, who has an office at Eighth aveiaue and Broadway in Gary, is general counsel in Indiana for the American,-Federation of Labor. In 1908 he clased with' Mayor Knotts regarding favortism in the police court and the two hare been ' deadly enemies ever since. Although a democrat Ballard fought Knotts in the mayoralty campaign anr the' climax came when thj mayor and the attorney engaged in a bout on the floor of the district con-
