No rlw have been found In the dj'namlfe wrecking; plot in which two Italian laborers were killed yesterday, although detectives have been working on the case sine the explosion was first, reported. Detectives from the Joliet office, of K., J. and K. railroad were in Garyyesterday and went over the grounds as was Chief Samuel Mucken and his forc of detectives from the Gary police station. They cross-questioned a score or jnore of the Italian laborers, some of whom were sleeping In the box car at the time of the explosion but very little information could be ariven. They huddled together in a bunch, terrified at the horrible work of the black hand and were ' practically speechless. . The inquest over the bodies of the two men who were killed will be held this afternoon in Jonesf morgue. Deputy Coroner E. R. Gordon of Hobart will be here to conduct the investigation. The bodies' of the two men were hurried yesterday afterno-s In the Tolleston cemetery. The reason fr their hurried burial was because relatives of the deceased came out from Chicago yesterday and claimed that they could not afford to hold the bodies any longer.
avenue and Broadway, and although arrested for the charge his case lost out In the prosecutor's office "because some one stole, the original affidavit." Boasich next got publicity when he tried to stab Head Nurse Matthew Cox at the Mercy hospital, and later on with his partner, 'Iog Face Charley," he participated in the slugging of Attorney Barr. Yesterday he was convicted of assault 'w ith Intent to ' kill another attorney. Slugged Time Man. In January. 1910, Mayor Knotts appointed Boasich on the police force.
He soon distinguished .himself by buying a uniform that rival Chief Martin's In gorgeousness, and when his superior officers remonstrated with him he told them to go chase themselvea. On the night of June 4 Boasich, at the Instance of a high Gary official, hit Alfred Jones of The Times staff on the back of the head as he was leaving the city council chamber. As a result of the blow Jones fell from the second floor to the first floor of the building. Threatened to Kill Bowser. Following this attack Boasich threatened to kill Alderman Bowser, who demanded his removal from the police force, and it Is said that at times that Mayor Knotts actually feared that his life would be taken by his appointee, as Boasich Is said to have made threats that If Knotts dismissed him he would kill the mayor. Boaslch's career on the force ended when he was arrested for conspiring to murder Sheriff Grant. While on the police force he always carried a huge knife and a large revolver.

Postmaster John W. Call of Gary Is in Indianapolis on business for a few days. The Indianapolis News has as follows: "Monday was the opening day for the postal savings bank at Gary, the second branch to be established in Indiana. Great interest in the new banking system was shown by the foreign population of Gary, says John W. Call, the Gary postmaster, , who Is In Indianapolis. "Nine acounts were opeend and a total of f'l deposited. A continuous! stream of visitors poured into the postoffice, says the postmaster, all making inquiries concerning the postal saving? bank. Postmaster Call, who is an ardent advocate of the postal bank, says th office at Gary will do a big business in that line, and that it will do this without Injuring the banking institutions, as the postofflce will draw out the money of those who are afra.d to trust to the ordinary bank."

Construction of E., J. & E. Railway Switch Tracks to Site of American Locomo
tive Plant on Gary-Miller Boundary Is Significant. One of the most significant Industrial moves of the month is the Receipt of orders by Klgin, Joliet & Eastern Vailway officials to begin the construction
of switch tracks leading to the site of the American Locomotive company's plant, which Is to be built rn the Gary-
Miller boundary just south of the steel
corporation's coke ovens. Several days ago Associated Press dispatches carried the news that plans for the locomotive company's Gary plant were completed, hut no word was given as to when actual construction was to start. The "J" railway is now building track connections with the works of the Gary Bolt and Screw company, which is located just south of the locomotive plant site. Rail connections with thsteel plant and the Kirk yards are being given ( the bolt and screw company. Kirn Construction Move. Just as soon as these track connections are made the work of building the spur lines Into the locomotive site will be -farted. Whether the land is to be cleared aad preliminary excavations are to be started this spring It not known. However, the receipt of orders to give the site rail connections is the first actual move toward the construc
tion of the 130-acre plant which will be the company's largest one. The locomotive company, which is an Independent corporation, purchased 130 acres of land from the Gary Land company of the steel corporation two years ago. Part of this lies in Gary and part in Miller. Within five years after the plant is In operation It is expected, according to company officials, -to give employment to 10,000 skilled mechanics.
The Gary Commercial Club at their regular meeting last night listened to the report of the committee appointed by the club to Investigate the Aetna Powder Mills. Attorney William K. Hodges presented the report to the club last night and after it wag read it was referred back to the committee for recommendations as to what line of action should be taken. The report of the committee Is as follows:
Gary, Indiana, May 3, 1911.
To the Gary Commercial Club,
Gary Indiana. Pear Sirs: Your committee appointed to Investigate the conditions of the Aetna Powder Works at Aetna, Indi
ana, as follows:
Your committee reports that it visited the Aetna Powder Plant located at Aetna, Indiana, whieh is situated two miles east of Broadway of this city. Kvery courtesy was shown the committee by the kind and efficient superintendent. Mr. Walter Edwards, the mill was thrown open, and we were invited to make a complete Investigation. We there found one of the larg
est powder plants In the country. Judg-! ing from buildings, apparatus and me i employed, the mill Is about eight times as large as the one destroyed at Pleasant Prairi. Wisconstti. xNo one jho has not made a tour through this plant has any Idea of its magnitude. The main products of this plant are nitroglycerin, gun cotton, common dynamite and gelatin dynamite. The mill as reported to us by its superintendent has a dally capacity of sixty thousand pounds , of common dynamite, twentyone thousand pounds of gelatin dynamite, together with sufficient nitroglycerin and gun cotton to manufacture the above mentioned products. We were informed by some parties w'm had been connected with the plant that a black powder mill was located on the grounds which had a capacity of about ten thousand pounds daily. Mr. Edward?, the superintendent, denied, however, this statement, and said that no black powder is made, and ihad not been made there on the grounds for several years. We visited every mill and magazine in the plant, with the
exception of one, according to the statement of Mr. Edwards. This was the mixing mill. In which the acids and glycerin are mixed and the finished product, nitro-glycerin, is maae. We would have visited this mill had It not been for th fact that our mayor became very tired and said . he' did not believe he could climb the hill, and of course we wanted to stay with him.
Stored , In magazine and elsewhere
about, the plant was something like
one hundred fifty thousand pounds of nitro-glycerln, common dynamite.
gelatin dynamite, gun cotton and black
powder. One magazine contained about fifteen thousand pounds of black powder, another about forty thousand pounds of dynamite, three freight cars
were loaded with twenty thousand pounds each of dynamite, the remainder being located In the different mills. It seems that every precaution has been taken by the company to prevent explosion. The buildings are all built back In the sand dunes with barricades around them, the floors are all kept perfectly clean, and the buildings are located at distances ranging from two
hundred to five hundred feet apart. It is the understanding of this committee that Its duty was to obtain all Information possible relative to the Aetna Powder Mills, its magnitude, daily output, precautions taken, situation of the .different mills, and other facts that would be of value to this club in passing upon the question of hether or not this powder plant Is a public nuisance. It is not the understanding that this committee Is to recommend whatshall be done. Respectfully submitted, W. F. HODGES. JOHN A. BRENNAN. Committee. The new applications for membership were presented last night. The
matter of inducing the Lake Shore railroad to stop two of its through trains which pass through Gary In the morning, to stop here was also discussed. Secretary Schaeffer has been In communication with the Lake Shore
railroad officials for some time and it Is thought that through the clubs efforts the railroad will stop th said
trains.
RQBY WOMEN FIGHT OVELGHIGKhNS Scores of Hens Are Poisoned and Warm Law Suit Develops. (Special to Thh Time)
Whiting. Ind.v May 4. That the women of Roby are often jealous of one another, was proven again yesterday, when Mrs. Teckla Zibjak, had a warrant taken out for Mrs. Katie Wisnowski. Mrs. Zibjak and Mrs. Wisnowski are next door neighbors. Mrs. Wisnowski has for some time done a good business in selling eggs. Mrs. Zibjak often thought of the neat sum her neighbors was making on th
sale of the eggs, and decided that she to would invest in some chickens. This is where the rivalry began, for when Mrs. Wisnowski saw a number of fine chickens in the Zibjak yard she was very angry, according to the laintiff. She is now charged with having poison. ed forty-six of Mrs. Zibjak's chickens, as by doing away with these chickens shf was agajn gien full sway and would again reap her harvest as of old. Out of 58 chickens, Mrs. Zibjak has onl twelve left, the rest having died in lots of eight afwl ten at a time. She Is very much wrought up over the ayair, and promises to leave no stone unturned to prosecute Mrs. Wisnowski to th.i full extent of the law. A number of Roby ladies will be in
troduced as witnesses in the case, which comes up in udge Atchison's
court this evering, and is today the chief topic of discussion in the village
of Roby.

An injunction was Issued Wednesday afternoon restraining" the city of Gary from interfering with the Gary & Interurban building operations on East Fifth avenue, in Gary, the intention of the company being to lay its tracks east
from Broadway at once. The people should bear in mind that the Gary & In-
terurban has been granted rights In the
city, of Gary which must be respected and which cannot be abrogated at will
by the city council. Acting under those rights, grants for a period of fifty years we have gone ahead In good faith, building in advane of the needs of the citj-i and giving Gary a street railway service which is not surpassed any
where. ' We ask nothing that is not for the best Interests of Gary, out at trie same
time propose to protect our rights In every particular. Gary wants a comprehensive street railway System, with a universal transfer. This we are willing and financially able to give. We have planned and expect to expend $10,000,000 in building operations throughout the Calumet district. , 1 . Gary does not want, or should not want, two conflicting . street railway systems. Why should the people be asked to pay two fares in going from one. part of the city to the other? The unfortunate situation on Broadway south
may be secured from Bernard A. Ambre. local secretary of the civil service examining board, or from the postmaster at Kast Gary. The blanks must be filled out and forwarded to Washingtori not later than May 8.
GONIICIOR WELL KNOWN
of the river is a sample of what a dou ble system will mean.
At the time the Gary & Inte-rurban received its franchise the city Insisted
on eight'street car tickets for a quarter.
The Gary tk Interurban is selling eifeut
tickets for a quarter.
What do the people think of the idea
of hereafter getting only five rides for 25 cents instead of eight rides? It wilt make i big difference to them in.thc
course of a year. The Gelst franchise,
which Is now before the- Gary council
permits a straight five cent fare. It In
creases the oot of transportation to the
working people of Bi per cent. Gary ought to have some compensa
tlon for the use of Its streets. The Gary
Ac Interurban. under its franchise, as
the c.ity grows, will pay Into the Gary
treasury five- percent of the net earn
ings of the city system, which during the life of the franchise will amount to untold thousands of dollars. The Gelt
franchise la free. The city gets nothing; the people will get endless trouble
will pay a double fare and a five cent fare instead of. three cents and a frac
tion.
This is a serious matter for Gary at a critical period In its development. On the one hand , the Gary A Interurban
Company, which already has given th 3
city one of the finest street railway systems In the county. Is In a position to extend that' service, wherever such set vice is needed and as rapidly as any
district develops.
On the other hand, a company, which never has laid a foot bt track anywhere and perhaps never will.seeks to tie up
the streets of Gary for three years, and as areturn for the valuable concession
offers, in case it ever builds, to almos
doub'l the car faj-e and refuses to pa
one cent of its earnings Jn to the city
treasury.
What Is the business-like course to
pursue?
