Thomas with his company of negro minstrels played to a rather small audience at Central Music hall ' last evening: on account of the attraction being little advertised. The com-: pany carries some good singers and ilancera and are above the average in that line. They will repeat their per-. formance this evening. j "Harl" McColley and an accomplice was arrested last evening, being sus-. plcioned of purloining a' harness from the barn of Junk Dealer Borarth on South street. McColley denies the theft, but there were enough suspicious circumstances connected with the theft to make the officials wary of gring him his freedom and he spent the night at Sheriff Grant's hotel to await his preliminary hearing this morning. It !.j claimed that .he officers have the "goods" on McColley and that he will probably suffer the penalty for his devious work. The violators of the sprinkling rules are running against a snag of late and a wholesale turning off of their water comply wltb-the law. The city is losing money by the promiscous use of water in houses and on lawns for sprinkling purposes, and It is the intention of the officials to seek redress and a remedy for the infractions of

murders. . Boys See Car, In the Farovid party to Cedar Lake were John Farovid, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Stevens and Mrs. Stevens' sister Miti Emma Hoch. They arrived at the Blnyon resort about a quarter of six and leaving their car they encountered two men who they were told were

Green and Ross. Green had a snapping turtle and the conversation for a few minutes was about the capture of the reptile. Mr. Farovid then inquired for a boat and was informed by Green that there was one not far away. The boat referred to proved unsatisfactory and the party went to another pier without success, and returning within twenty minutes of the time they had left tneir machine they found it gone. Two boys reported to the party that they had seen a gray car occupied by ! two men, being driven in a northerly direction. Sheriff Grant was immediately notified. Deputy Sheriff Thomas Piatt notified Henry Batterman ai Dyer, and the latter learned later that while he was talking over the telephone to, the deputy sheri.f that the car had gone through Dyer. It was also learned that the car was met by one coming from the north, and that the two went north ostensibly in a race In brder to increase their speed. In Hammond it was learned that the car had passed Officers Burge and Mojeska near Gostlin street. They did not know the car was wanted and only learned of the matter a little later upon reaching the station. The ladles of the party returned vU the Monon railroad, and Mr. Farovid went directly with Sheriff Thomas Grant to the north end of the county jand then to Chicago. j Green and Ross have been at Cedar Lake for some time. Ross and his wife occupied a cottage at the summer resort. NEW ROAD TO PIERCE HEART OF SAND DUNES (Continued from Page L) 35, 36, 25, 31, and 32, almost a straight line, and through 33, 34 ana 35 to chtterton. South, of 31 is the village of Crlsman. To I He Old Stance Coach Route. The route from Miller town hall to Duoe park Is nothing more than the old sand road trail, which a half century ago, was used by the Detroit-Chicago stage coach line. Since then the road has been abandoned and it is only very seldom that a dun trapper of a black soil farmer uses the abandoned trail. From Iun Park to Chesterton similar conditions cxi-t. Aceorlng to Messrs. Cutler and Olander the old sand trail would furnish a good road bed. A Fine Auto Hl(chiTly. "This would make an ideal automobile roffd.' said President Olander. "From Miller town hall we have direct roads west to Gary, Chicago and all points in Lake county and we have a saw

fine road leading south to Hobart, but no road to Chesterton and points beyond. There are a lot of good roads beyond Chesterton but Miller and Gary have no direct way of reaching the two places. Mont Picturesque In Indiana. "The proposed route leads through

one of the -most : picturesque parts of J ijiuiaua. Aiuo wiiuubu uuue iunu IS quit wild and its scenic possibilities are beau,tlfuL Because the county has never been tapped by good roads it is seldom visited and you certainly see the backwoods when you venture into the heart of the dunes.". Bnglner Cutler is also enthusiastic about the plan. He believes that if the road is built the farmers of. northern Porter county will bring their produce Into Gary and whats more they will make It their trading center. The Miller town trustees, Messrs. Olander, North and Frederlckson will meet very shortly with the Chesterton town trustees regarding the proposed road and the Joint boards will take up the question with the Porter county commissioners. v One of the most notorious and brazen attempts to put over the sale of Sleban grease traps in Gary is seen in the action of the local plumbing trust In prosecuting Walsh and Heuck, master plumbers, who refuse to use the Sleban grease trap which the plumbing trust had specified must be used as the result of an ordinance passed by the city council. Walsh' and Heuck maintain that any ordinance that tries to discriminate and specify which brand of material shall ' be used Is Illegal and they are being backed up by many local attorneys.' ' At the instance of " the plumbing trust warrants were Issued for their arrest. ' The case will be taken up next Tuesday. Today Walsh and Hueck will be tried on another violation. It is said that Safety Board President H. If. Highlands. J. S. Andrews and ' other master plumbers are back o-f the move to compel the plumbers to use the Sieban grease traps. Other plumbing supply houses have been attracted by the efforts of the local trust to compel the use of the Sleban trap by ordinance and some interesting exposes are expected. It is said a grand jury Investigation may result. THp DAILY. TIMES. 60.000 READERS
