HERE'S ONE MAN WHO IT LACK NERVE East Chicago infl . .rm r whn Fred R. Woodbury, one of the In etructors in the East Chicago public schools, went to his room yesterday, which is- in the flat occupied by J. S. Cresswell, over the postoffice, he found ia stranirpr in th nnnrtmont Mr. Woodbury asked the straneer what he wanted in his room, and was informed that the vouna- man wa lnnu. for a room, and not being being able to arouse the inmates of the flat by knocking and trying the door and find ing it open, he decided he might find the landlady by entering. Mr. Woodbury directed him to Mrs. uresiweu s aoor, was tnanked in a gentlemanly manner by the intruder. who departed and arranged with Mrs, Cresswell to engage a room for himself and a "partner." He said he and his friend were beth electricians. About the time the stranger left the premises, Mr. Woodbury also departed. leaving his room door open and a suit of clothes he wished pressed, lying on the bed so that the tailor could find them when he called for them. It must have been half an hour later when '.he stranger returned, and after packing in Mr. Woodbury's suitcase. tne ciotnes intended ror the tailor, a new suit of clothes, a large number of phonograph records and several other things belonging to Mr. Woodbury, he quietly slipped out again. When Mr, Woodbury returned he found his closet stripped. The stranger had taken al most everything in sight. Everything but the room he claimed to have coma to "take." The police are looking for him. SUICIDE EPIDEMIC KEEPS UP (Continued from Page L) daughter Katie found his body hanging by a heavy cord underneath the stair way. The body was in a relaxed posi tion upright and the feet were touch ing the floor. He had thrown all his weight on the cord and strangled him self the cord cutting into his neck. The remains of the unfortunate were taken down by Officer Miller and were later removed to Burns morgue where the Inquest will be hold sometime to day. His son Lewis Demerling stated this morning that his father had not been sick and was in the best of health. He sometimes would complain a little of his heart and was nervous at times, but no reason can the family ascribe for such action on his part. He is 39 years old and was formerly In the sa loon business. His suicide was a great shock and the family is prostrated. Mr. Demerling leaves a wife and six children, four girls and two boys. Lewis and Charley, Mrs. Mary Hertner, Kate, and Lizzie. The funeral will be held Thursday.

Meyn of Hammond and a score of others. The question of the valuation of lake frontage was taken up and discussed. A number of discrepancies were noted. Fred J. Smith, the former mayor of Whiting said that he believed "th j Standard Oil Co. was being assessed! too high. The present mayor of Whiting said that the Standard OH company paid 88 per cent of thetaxes of the city, and I that the railroads paid 12 per cent of the taxes. That left the taxes that were collected from other sources negligible quantity. -. The question of the railroad valua

WELL KNOWN INDIANA

HARBOR

(Special to The Times.) Indiana Harbor, June 6. F. R. Nelson, for the past six years associated in business with H. A. Hyams. died suddenly yesterday afternoon of hemorrhage of the brain. Mr. Nelson had suffered a stroke of paralysis some time ago, which had laid him up for quite a while, but for the past ten days or two weeks he was able to be up and yesterday he return ed to his work at the Lincoln hotel for the first time since his sickness. He opened up the hotel and Boon aft er noon he went to his room, going out later for a shave. When he came back he went to visit Sunny Sheets, who rooms' at the same house, No. 3408 Michigan avenue, and who has been sick for a couple of weeks. When he left Mr. Sheets a short while later he remarked that he was going to lie down for a while and would return to duty later In the day. After Mr. Nelson had taken his de part ire Mr. Sheets arose and sat talk ing for a while with Mr. Hyams. The men head the sound' of heavy breath ing and in a quest to ascertain the cause were led to Mr. Nelson's room. They called to him, but received no response and then tried the door. This they were able to open an inch or two. but soma . obstruction prevented them from opening it wider. Through the crack they could see Mr. Nelson, who had undressed all but his underclothes, lying on the floor. It was his head which lay against the door and which prevented them from opening It sufT ficlently to enter. Mr. Sheets went to a phone and called that Lake county has a greater interest In securing an equitable share of the taxes from the railroads than any other county in the state. An interesting feature of the in vestigation was the statement by Sims that the value of the entire line of a railroad is divided up by its mileage. and that Lake county gets as much per mile out of the railroads as Cook county, Illinois. (Special to The Times.) East Chicago. Irid., June 6. The city has a force of men at work spreading crushed stone in Chicago avenue from the C. I. & S. westward, and it is only a question of a short while before East Chicago avenue will be considerably more traversable especially for automobiles than has been the case In the past. The beauty of It is that the crushed stone wherewith the roadway is being Improved, Is not costing the city a penny. And thereby hangs a tale. C. W. Hotchklss, general manager of the Indiana Harbor Belt, general man ager of the C-, I. & S. and high cockolorum In numerous other enterprises which have done their share toward making the Twin Cities what they are, was out this way not long ago, coming out from Chicago with Walter J. Riley In the latter's machine. In traversing the distance from East Chica go to Calumet, Mr. Hotchkiss was considerably Jolted. Mr. Hotchkiss said a few things about the road that would not look particularly well in print and arriving atthe First Calumet Trust and Savings bank, where he alighted wltt Judge Riley, the incident was apparently closed. Not so, however. A couple of days later a few carloads of crushed stono arrived, consigned to Judge Riley. The ,next day some more carloads put In an appear ance. The cars of stone continued to arrive until , there were sixty of 'them, and then a great light burst on Judge Riley. A letter from C. W. Hotchkiss helped the light to burst. It said some thing to this effect: S., west as far as it will go." I The city Is thinking of getting up a
