STREET BURGLARY SCARE

(Special to This Times.) Kast Chicago, Ind., Auk. 5. Beacon street's burglary scare, far from decreasing, is rapidly reaching fever heat. Milk thieves are the latest "desperadoes" who are terrorizing the quiet fofk of this thoroughfare, and detail of four officers - patrolled the two blocks 'that constitute Beacon street all through the still watches of last night. Citizens who are wont to come home . late are beginning to accustom themselves to the stern command of 'Halt!" followed by the blaze of a flash light

In their faces and the gleam of a revolver in the hands of the galalnt. offlcet, who mistrusts that they may belong to the band of night maurauders who have been terrorizing the neighborhood of later. Yesterday morning five households had to breakfast without their customary supply of fresh milk and cream. . Bathmit like concoctions know under various high-sounding titles as break- . fast foods, were consumed if consumed , at all, minus the lacteal fluid, for some bold bad man, had the rounds of Beacon street after the hour when the sound of the milkman Is heard in the : land, and had willfully and feloniously "lifted" tho deposit imin tha front or i back porch, as the case might be..i The families thu3 deprived. were the Conways, Lynches. Fishers, Murphys and Harrises. - When Chief McCormick heard of the depredations he rose In his wrath and said: ""This devastation must cease. What ho! ye arms of the law! Clyde Spencer, summon ye three brave

squires who would win unto the'.r

prowess spurs of gold, and pi.io yon

quiet thoroughfare through the stir.

Notice is hereby given that, pursuant

to composition of creditors, I will offer

watches of the night. Seize the bold robbers, dead or alive, and, drag them before me." But in the meantime several housewives, more thrifty than their neighbors, known not of thtte stern precau

tions, and desiring to make sure their milk supply this morning, set their alarm clocks for 3 a. m. and personal'y went to their porches and corralled their bottles before tnc sj-es o tie

four sleuths failed not to hear the sounds that arose from the porches of said house-holders, and commanding

the supposed thieves to halt, an ' re

eeiving no response turned their flash

lights upon them. There was a swlf

dlsapearance within doors, and the

officers caught the gleam of diaphenous

klmonas as the housewives whlskeH inside their dors and disappeared from view. The result of the close watch kept last night was that not a milk bottle disappeared from a Beacon street home, and the householders are breathing a sigh of relief, in the belief that the miscreants have been frightened out of the neighborhood.

The depredations have been accredited to a number of beggars that have been making the rounds of Beacon street the last few days, and to a bunch of hobos encamped on the north side

of the Terminal tracks Just back of

Beacon street.

brought to the morgue. Miss Guitengar was 20 years od and is survived by a father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Garret Guitengar of Gibson, four sitsers an dtwo brothers. The funeral arrangements have not been completed and will be announced later. The Inquest wll be held at Emmerling's

morgue sometime today.

The Gapy Commercial clab has notl fied Mills & Mills, the aviators of Chi

cago, that the club will not undertake

to back a flight to Gary. The reasons advanced is that it would come so near the big international flights in Chicago

that it would not be apt to draw the crowds necessary to make the matter

pay. However, here is Just a possi

bility that Gary win .yet catch a

glimpse of birdmen circling In the

ambient air. Charles H. Lelchllter,

Sunday editor of the Chicago Record

i-teraid is now maKing plans to cross Lake Michigan in a Bristol-Farnam

biplane with F. E. Post of Milwaukee.

Post has heen making flights for some time at Mlneola Lake, and is confident

that he can fly over Lake Michigan

ftow it Is planned that if a purse can be raised in Gary, the biplane will

touch at this point on Its way to St.

Joseph, Mich.

That Chicago is taking a big interest In the proposed flight is shown bv the

activity of the yacht clubs in the mat ter. The Columbia blub will send i

fleet to follow the biplanes as far as lr Is practicable, and the other clubs are now making plans to make a spectacular cruise on the day tho birdmen fly over the lake. Mr. Lelchllter is a

famous baloonist, having made four great flights. He has made .two all

night flights, and was in thebnlloon

Chicago, that went from Chicago to

Windsor, Canada, two years ago. He

also made a flight with Brooklns at

St. Louis the -'day before President

Roosevelt went up with the same avia

tor. Post has made numerous flights

and is an expert aeroplanist. It is probable that some one will come to Gary to try to make arrangements for

the presence of Lelchllter and Post in

CAVENDER LINE TO

ASK FOR FRANCHISE

More good news wafts from Hobart

way. It is to the effect that actual

construction work will be started next

week on the Gary-Hobart electric line.

The announcement comes from Presi

dent Cavender, "Cully" Swanson and John Hillman, three of Hobarfs leading business men.

Will Get Gary Franchlac.

On Monday the Hobart street car

promoters will ask the board of pub

lic works for a franchise into Gary

with Thirty-seventh avenue as the

route linking the Hobart corporate

limits with Broadway. It Is said that

the board will grant the franchise and that it will be passed through the council without a hitch.,

President Cavender recently announc

ed that J50.000 worth of bonds and

stocks had been suscribed for in Hobart, that the money was in the com

pany's treasury and that construction work would be started In a very short while.

Seaman's Vlnlt Fleaaea. The visit of Halleck W. Seaman,

president of the Gary and Southern

Traction company to Gary yesterday

in company with Blon J. Arnold, the noted Chicago traction engineer and Mr. Dayls of the Cleveland Construction company, Cleveland, Ohio, a subsidiary of the South Shore Interurban line may be productive of good results.

TIMES Story Intereata Country. The story was printed in The Times

last night and was eagerly read not

only In Gary but In the south part of

the county, especially Crown Point. Mr. Arnold comes in the interests of a bond house.

President Seaman declined to speals

on any subject save that construction

work on the South Broadway division would be started as soon as the county

commissioners accept the T. E. Knotts

road. The visit of Arnold Is believed

to presage an early start In construc

tion operations.
