JUNE 1ST ' (Special to The Times.) Indiana Harbor, May 9. The new In diana Harbor Postal Savings bar.k which Is in process of formation, will be in operation by June 1. Postmaster A. G. Lundquist will In the meantime go to Pekin, 111. on business connected with the new department, making the final arrangements for Its equipment and conduct. He has instructions from headquatrers to get his certificates of deposit etc. from the Illinois town. The rest of the stationary is already on hand, including-' pamphlets for dis tribution among the prospective patrons of the bank, in which are set forti all manner of nformation and condi' tlons. This information is printed In five or six different languages and the pamphlets can be had upon application. One of the conditions is that all depositors must be patrons of the post office in which the bank is conducted, and no depositor is allowed to place more than $500 on deposit. A great deal of interest is already manifest in the new departure. It is not e-xpected that any additional help will be required for the time be ing for the operation of the bank whose business will be handled by the money order division. CHICAGO COUPLE HUM LICENSE IH VI Indiana Harbor, May 9. Love's young dream received a set-back yes terday when J. S. Shannon, 6668 Michl (ran avenue, Chicago, and Mary Mc Hugh, also of Chicago, neither of whom, judging by their appearance, was of age, applied to Judge Jordan to be united in marriage. The young people had no license and when told by the judge that this was a necessary formality and that they could not get the document this side of Crown Point, they regarded each other with long faces. It was 4 o'clock when they appeared at Judge Jordan's office, and there being no train for Crown Point available until late, it was suggested that they engage an automobile and make a flying trip to the county seat. After a consultation It was decided ihat th best the young people could do would be to return to Chicago and wait until today to be wed. Asked whether it was a runaway match. Shannon denied that it was. He said that Miss McHugh's parents were both dead and that she had no one to consult regarding whether she might marry or not, and that they came to Indiana Harbor because they "had heard of the place." Miss McHugh Is pretty and Shannon a nice looking boy. Both were well dressed. CHARGE FAVORS SHOfJ TO STEEL New York, May 9. Discrimination in freight rates In favor of the United States Steel corporation was charged before the interstate commerce commission yesterday at a hear in tty custom house. The Baltimore and OhfV railroad company and several of Its subsidiaries were the chief defendants, represented n response to the charge filed by the Alpha Portland Cement company, Louis H. Porter, representing the. complainant, opened the case. IHMnlaatea tbe Rallnaya. "The United States Steel corporation," said Porter "practically dominates the railways of the country, and Its tremendous Influence has enabled the UnlI versal Portland Cement company of Pittsburg, which is owned entirely by the Steel corporation, to obtain more favorable rates than can be obtained by Its chief competitor and rival, the Alpha Portland Cement company." Dlacrtaainntioa Id Ceaaeat. F. H. Gcrstel! of Easton, Pa., presidsnt of the Alpha Cement company, testified that the alleged favored rates to its rival company affected heavily the cost of raw material to this company. He said that General Manager Gallagher of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad had promised, to "give the Alpha company a fair rate." When the 1910 freight tariff schedule was issued, however, it was found, he testified, that the rival concern had been further favored. President Gerstell declared to the commission that the Universal company had saved more than $500,000 by Its al leged special freight rate. WORK IS STARTED Ofi EXPERIMENTAL HOUSE As stAted In these' columns exclusive ly last week that only one house would be tuilt for the American Sheet and Tinplate company as an experiment work starte dtoday on the first house al the corner of Harrison street and Fourth avenue. , Formers are being placed over . the foundations today and it Is expected that by Thursday they will be In a po sition to; receive the cement which will be poured in. Some Doubt mn to Efficiency. There is some doubt as to the effi ciency and practicability of the system of building the tinplate houses under

the present plan, and it is for this rea

REAL ESTATE TilEH MEED CHEAPFARE Gary Facing Crisis Shall the People Have Eight Rides .

For Twenty-Five Cents or Eight Bides For Forty Cents?

What woulfl happen to a man who

came to Gary with a proposition to double the price of a loaf of bread? Well, here is a. man named Geist, who comes from Philadelphia with a propo-'is,

sitlon which will almost double the cost of something which is Just as necessary to the people of Gary as bread. That something is street car service. I On the Gary & Interurban street cars the fare is practically 3 cents. For 25 cents a working man can buy 8 car

tickets. If the Calumet United Rail- him know what they think of the matways (Geist) franchise is passed by the ter. The aldermen, not the newspapers, council, the car fare In Gary will be must decide the question. Your alder-

five cents straight. Eijtfet ridea will eoat 40 cents Instead of 25 cents. Most , companies are .willing to give six tickets for a quarter. No so Mr. Geist.. He must has a straight five cent fare. It will make some difference to the man with an average income wnemer

his car service costs him 3 1-8 cents or not given Gary a better street car ser5 cents, in going to and from his work. 'vice than that of any other city of double

On a basis of 300 working days, he

would have to pay Mr. Geist s proposed about? Has not this company more road $30. a ye-ar in order to get to his than kept pace with the growth of the work and back. The same, or better community? With an authorized bond service on the Gary & Interurban costs issue of $10,000,000 and a superb sysonly $18.75. Now let the mill employe tern operating profitably on the only add to that $30, five cents straight for streets in Gary where their is any traffic every time any member of his family at present, are we not simply able to rides, and then tell his alderman take care of the traction situation as whether he wants the Geist franchise it develops- and as it should be taken with a five cent fare, or would prefer care of? to pay a trifle over three cents to the) But, we are tnld, Mr. Geist of PhtlaGary & Interurban. jdelphla will build a great system ImThe experiment of doubling the mediately; will build on all kinds of street car fare would be a costly one streets whether there Is any business on to Gary real estate men. Next to the these streets or not; wilt spend millions

workinjr men they will be the chief sufferers. Rather than double their car fare the men in the mills will live withlng walking distance of their work whenever possible. It is foolish to expect a man with a limited Income to buy outlying property when he knows that he will be doubling his Btreet car fares by so doing. In order to dispose of their property real estate men need cheap car fare more than any other one thing. This Philadelphia man is not content with doubling the street car fare. That is not good enough for him. He asks for the free us of Gary's streets for fifty years to come. The Gary & Interurban must pay five percent of its net earnings Into the city treasury, but under the Geist franchise the city will get nothing, except increased expense and trouble for the people. What do son that one house will be erected and completed as an experiment before any more Smises are completed. The present plan may be abandoned altogether and instead of using concrete, th balance of the houses may be of frame and of brick. The cost of the houses under the present plan is said to exceed that of the estimate of the chief engineer and it is for this reason the only one house will be erected until th company officials can determine what cours of action ito follow. HlKhlanda Reeelvea Contract. H. H. Highlands has received the con tract for the plumbing work of the model house. It will be erected at the corner of Harrison street ana ourin avenue. The" balance of the work will be done by Contractor Grantham, who came here to superintend the work from Pennsylvania The house will be a four-family fiat building and will be a 70x24 feet. Each fiat will contain four rooms including bathroom and pantry. Footing In for Ninety-Six Hoaaes. The concrete footings for ninety-six houses are now completed. The present plans call for the erection of 100 houses nstead of 250, as was first reported. EAST CHICAGO CO. (Special to The Times.) Indiana Harbor, May 9.
