A posible site for the new south end police and fire Btation is at Nineteenth and Adams street. .There is a fire company on the south side at the present time. - - New Jobs la Sight.

COUNCI

There Is also a detective and identification bureau chief. The new. south side police., station will need a captain . in command with two desk sergeants 1 and possibly a

night patrol sergeant. This will mean four or five promotions. Thirty-six to forty Is the number In the present po lice establishment. A chief, one assistant chief, three captains and as many lieutenants constitute the official force of the fire de partment. This will be increased. (Special to The Times.) 1 East Chicago, July 18. It was stated in the Chicago newspapers yesterday that Father Paul Bogner of the Hungarian Catholic church at Oklahoma, was to be appointed priest of the South Bend Hungarian Catholic church which has been the scene of a number of riots of late. Father Bogner was seen last night regarding the report, but while he admitted that he was going to South Bend tomorrow, he denied that it was for the purpose of taking up the duties of pastor of the church which is at the present time a storm center. He declares that his mission is merely to perform a marriage ceremony and that he has received no word from the bishop of having been appointed to fill the South Bend pulpit. Regarding the trouble which has been brewing in St, Stephen's church. South Bend the Chicago Tribune relates that on Sunday a mob of 1,"500 men and women made an attempt to prevent Rev. Paul von Kpvacs who came to South Bend recently from New York from celebrating high mass at the church. The dispatch goes on to state: The priest escaped injury only through the foresight of. Chief of Detectives William Cassidy in stationing a squad of forty-five men in the vicinity of the church. The police charged the crowd with drawn clubs the moment the rush for the clergyman was made. The result was a riot In which 250 to 300 Hungarions were severely beaten. As soon as the police succeeded in arresting the ringleaders and sending them to the central station the rioters dispersed. The trio under arrest are John Mesler, age 38; Louis Mesler, 34; Gyze Kulchar, 38. The riot followed the appointment of Father Kovace as priest of the church over the protests of the parish, a report having reached here that he was Immoral. Today's riot was the second to occur a the church within a week, the police having been rushed there last Tuesday night to preveht Father Kovacs from being lynched. At that time, under cover of darkness, the rioters hurled bricks and stones at the policemen as they took the clergyman to the station for protection. STEEL PLANT WORK GOES The vast improvements at the Has kell & Barker Car company's steel car plant are progressing very satisfactorily at Michigan Cily. The big 34foot yard runway, extending from Fifth to Sixth avenue has been erected by the Lackawanna Steel company and Is now ready for the traveling cranes for tbe unloading of steel. This run way Is 100 feet wide and 400 feet long and is so constructed that an addi tional wing can be erected when occasion demands. The founadtlons are being put in for the new assembly shop, which will occupy what was formerly Seventh street, and other buildings are being razed and new ones are being erected. Big Aaaembly Shoo. The largest building to be erected for the manufacture of steel cars will be the assembly shop which will occupy former Seventh street. The new building will adjoin the present assem bly shop No. 5 on the south, being 100 feet wide and 1,100 feet iong, reaching almost from Wabash street west to the railroad tracks. Gary to Furnlnh Steel. The steel work on this building will be done by the American Bridge company of Gary, which was recently awarded the contract. The car company Is putting In the concrete foundations. The finishing building, located In Eighth street and extending from the railroads tracks to Manhattan street, is being extended east to Buffalo street, a distance of 350 feet. The south wall, along the north line of Eighth street, is now practically completed. The extension to this building will be about 183 feet north and south, or about 100 i feet wider than the present building.1 Another bit of improvement now under way is the erection of a paint mill, north of the finishing shop, to replace the old paint mill which was removed to make way for the assembly shop. Employes 2,300 Men. Michigan City is extremely fortunate in that the Haskell & Barger plant is reasonably busy, while some car plants throughout the country are closed. There are now employed about 2,300 men and the company has several orders oh hand. With the completion of the big steel plant the force will ber materially Increased, but the extent of this is increase can be measured only by the increase in business throughout the country. The plant will have the capacity, when completed to employ many, times the present num ber of men and the management Is building now wit hits eyes on the future. t.eta I-oeal Contracts. So far as possible the company is letting local contracts. The big Improvement will mean the use of 2.000.000 brick, which will be furnished by I

HAS NO WORD FROM BISHOP

the Boeske .and Ohlemacher Brick company of this city. Sheel and Concrete wil lalso be used in. the erection of the buildings. Michigan City News.

The Stanley steel trust lnestlgating com mittee today ordered Its accountant, R. J. MeRea, to Pittsburg to make an exhaustle inestigation into the costs of the manufacture of Iron and steel, and of the transportation of ores from the Lake Superior region to the manufac turing plants. This Is a new lead for the lnestigators. it is expected the most Important developments will be In connection witn the hauling of ores from the Mesaba and Vermilion Ranges in Minnesota, Michigan and Wisconsin to Pittsburg, Conneaut, Erie and other lake ports. It is charged these rates are excessive ly high, and operate to the disadvant age of independent ore owners. The trust owns the railroads on the Mesaba and Vermilion Ranges, and about 60 per cent of the ore. Independent ore owners have to rely on the trustowned roads to get their ores to the steel mills. Judge Gary admitted before the com mittee that these roads had earned as high as 90 per cent on their capitaliza tlon in a ingle year. They have de clared dividends of 40, 50 and 60 per cent Surprises hae been carried In the treasuries larger than their total capitalization. Members of the committee bellee these great earnings are due to excessive freight rates that have remained unchanged for more than fifteen years. The trust is not affected by the high rates. The money paid for transportation IS a question of bookkeeping. The committee wants its expert accountant to develop this feature of the trust's business at length from the books of the lake and rail transportation companies owned by the trust. If he Is not given free access to the account books of the corporation he Is to report back to the committee, when action will be taken to compel the surrender of the books. Lake Woods Park Notes. Swede Swanton and Dow Bowen of Hammond were at the park last night, the guests of Bernard Gavit. Nids Gerrard and Bayless Cosner gave a duck dinner to a nunvber of their friends in their al fresco dining room in Lakeville, just over the fence from Lake Woods, last night. Mr. Gerrard cooked the ducks, and the guests ail pronounced him to be a first class chef. Albert Kalin has received a letter from Fred Mace, the well known comedian, who has been playing Baron Popoft in1 "The Chocolate Soldier." who threatens to come to Lake Woods park for a visit. Mr. Mace is a comedian both on and off the stage and should he visit Gary it is assured that he will make lots of fun for everybody. The new vaudeville bill as offered last night in the band shell proved a hit from beginning to end and every act was received witli enthusiasm. Tendahoa, a full blooded Mohawk Indian, opened the bill with clever ring work, in which his great strength was manifest In many difficult tricks. Marie Salisbury, a character singer, followed In well dressed numbers. She sang a Creole song In costume, followed by a shild number which went well, closing with the popular telephone song In which she Injected a number of the latest jokes now going the rounds, and the result was that she was called back a half dozen times. Miss Salisbury has a splendid wardrobe and she gets her audiences with her from the very beginning. Cushman and St. Claire made more than good in a knockabout act, In which Cushman is seen as Happy Hooligan and Miss St. Claire as an ancient maiden. The act is excrutlatingly funny and elicited much applause. The closing act was that of the La Salle trio, an acrobatic team, which has some new and unusual stunts to offer.
