GAS WiETE

THIEVES ARE BUS!

ANTI-MANCHU REVOLUTION BREAKS OUT AGAIN IN CHINA, WHERE THOUSANDS ARE BEING SLAIN; REBELS FIND REFUGE IN BOATS

(Special to The Times).) Indiana Harbor, Juno 1. The gas meter robbers are holding high carnival In Indiana Harbor again, seventeen of the devices having been reported robbed within the past week. The ratrons of the gas company who have suffered from the depredations include the following: F. V. Rlaher. 1707-135th street. R. L. Mcintosh, 3512 Hemlock street. A. I Wiltfong. 3512 Hemlock street.

A. Pekownik, 3414 Pennsylvania avenue. R. Feinberg, 3408 Pennsylvania avenue. N. Shine, 3425 Michigan avenue. Mrs. E. Stewart, 3331 Michigan avenue. Nick Fox. 3380 Michigan avenue. Irvin Sheaks. 3825 Hemlock street. J. W. Burford, 3825 Hemlock street. . S. P. Quantz. 3630 Parish avenue. E. Petsh, 3430 Fir street. J. Fahringer. 34S0 Fir street. John Bora.135th and Guthrie streets. Minnie Woods, 3605 Cedar street. Manager John Kamradt is considerably wrought up over the frequency with which these raids on the "quarter meters" are executed, and declares that he believes drastic measures should be taken to apprehend the thieves. There was a meter robber arrested in Hammond not long ago. whom the authorities succeeded, with the aid of a victim of the thief, to send over the road. The thief In this case was a young fellow, and after robbing the meter in basement of a saloon, went across the street to a fruit store and got his money. $8.50. which was all in quarters, changed into bills. Then he returned to the scene of his crjme and proceeded to lay out his ill gotten gains. Something aroused the saloonkeeper s suspicions and he went to investigate his meter. He found it had been' robbed and summoned the police to take the young man Into custody. An admission was wrung from the thief and

he was convicted and sent to some penal institution. Mr. Kamradt believes that If an example or two could be made of the local meter thieves there would be considerably less robbing of meters in Indiana Harbo. The thieves in some of the cases cited above did not confine their efforts to gas meters. In three plaCes, all stores, they . tried to secure loot from the stores themselves, but In this they were not successful. At the time they robbed vthe meter of Mrs. Stewart, who lives over the Illinois Jewelry store, they tried to gain entrance to the Jewelry store, as marks on the door leading to the cellar plainly Indicated. They managed to successfully negotiate an entrance into Sneak's feed 6tore and also;into the grocery of A. Pekownik at 3414 Pennsylvania avenue, but did not succeed in stealing much in either place, although they did more or less damage by scattering papers about, making confusion in the accounts.

Tbo government had hoped the anti-Manchu rebellion In this district had been put down, but the rebels have reopened their campaign with renewed vigor and thousands are being slain on both sides. The loyal troops are fighting to the last ditch, some of the soldiers are going over to the rebels and training them to fight in army fashion. Thousands of boats as shown In the photograph are always in the Canton harbor and It is said that fully fifty thousand rebels find shelter on these boats after sallying out to fight the F2mperorg troops. The possibility of their being captured is most remote.

Alderman Castleman Pleads For the Poor Traction Companies.

under the supervision of Ignatius

Mimlykowski who has the contract for the same. Bids on the new building will be opened either this afternoon or

tomorrow, there being half a dozen

contractors figuring on the Job.

The building will be a combination school and church ynd besides an audi, torium seating 830; there will be e?g?U rooms accommodating 500 pupils. Six of the rooms will b above the church

auditorium while two will b back of

it. The building will be 72 by 130 feet

in dimensions and will be built of brick

with stone trimmings. It will be finish

cd in hardwood throughout and will bo

steam heated and electric lighted, in short it is to be strictly modern In

every particular.

The auditorium will have a ceiling 24

feet, high and It is planned to havehandsome decorations and furnlsi.ings. The church owns a block of property where the cars turn at .Forsyth and One Hundred and Fiftieth, which has always been beautifully kept, blooms with roses in their season, and with other flowers in theirs, and it has always added greatly to the attractive

ness of the neighborhood. The hand

some and expensive building now to b erected, will do its share toward improving the neighborhood in which it is located, and will lso help to convey a good impression to strangers coming from the' direction of Hammond. ..Father Peter Budnlck Is the pastor of the church, having held this post for two years. He succeeded Father Josepht Balke, and undr his administrations of its affairs the church has thriven apace. Father Budnlck is very popular as well as capable and is greatly liked not only among his own people, but holds a high place in the estoem of the public generally. . This makes the third new church to be. promised in the near future for East Chicago alone. The Methodists are to

put up an edifice to cost not less than $20,000, as are the Congregationalism, and it is thought that with three fine new church buildings, all building at the same time, as it is expected these will be, feast Chicago should gain considerable of a reputation as a city of beautiful churches.

IAMMOND,

INDIANA.

As the result of its excellent showing

the Gary postal saving banks has es

tablished a record which gives it first

rang among the postal savings banks

east of the Mississippi river.

The amount of the total deposits in

the Garv -bank for the first month's

business, ending May 31, is $2,800.20,

which greatly exceeds that of any other

savings bank established east o the

Mississippi river for the first month's

business.

Postmaster John W. Call and Joseph

C. Tracey in charge of the local postal

savings bank feel highly elated over

the success of the bank, and although

the amount of the total was not tip to their expectations they will be able to give the press some interesting figures soon as the reports are received from

Washington,

The total number of depositors dur-

intr tVi mnnth nf Mav was seventy

making an average of over two'' each

day.

Although the figures are not at hand

another record has been established

that the average individual deposit at

the Gary bank exceeds the U. S. ave

age deposit for the first month by about

$5 in the territory east of the Missis

sippi.

In a number of cities west of the

Mississippi river postal savings banks!

have been established where there was

no other banking facilities, and the records are better than in other cities where there are a number of other

banking institutions.

GEISEl HURT

ACCIDENT

If coming events cast their shadows before them, then the speech of Alderman M. N. Castleman in the Gary com

mon council last night indicates that the Gary and lnterurban railway, of j which he was formerly vice president, will soon engage Itself in the task of asking the city to knock out its threecent fare clause, which becomes operative in May, 1913; " He Didn't See Ahead. When Senator Frank Gavit, president of the traction company, applied for the franchise, he got it mostly because he promised to give a three-cent fare five years after the line began operating. However, at the time Gavit was inexperienced in traction affairs and it is said that the Gary and lnterurban has no easy time disposing of its bonds because of its three-cent fare clause. Say Knottn la Ilonvwt. Iast night Castleman got Mayor Knotts on tacks for a few minutes when he arose to "explain" as how no one knew what was coming, but he said that the matter was merely a rumor and that he didn't believe the mayor would even sell out for $6,000. Then Castleman launched into the burdens of
