Washington. D. C, is a sort of municipal guinea pig In th laboratory of governmental development. Officials of the nation, contemplating administrative changes . throughout the nation, generally try them out on the captal. "Doc" "Wiley fioea It. and; Postmaster General 'Hitchcock never ceases' doing It. They' are two of the busiest of the governments' "doctors." Two of Hitchcock's latest schemes with which ' he Is experimenting are the collection of mall In boxes fastened to street cars, and sending carriers out over their routes la automobiles.

(Special to The Times'.). Indiana Harbor, Iee. 22. The Commercial Club of Indiana Harbor and Kast Chicago which had intended to take up the pros and cons ot "a commission form of government at the last meeting Wednesday night, foiind itself so absorbed In the water way question on Wednesday evming, that .It could not do the former subject justice.' So it was decided to make this subject a special order of business for' a special meeting to be held Wednesday evening, January 10.

The report of the committee

posed of C. -L, Kirk anil C. E." Fowler 'appointed by the club -to-act as delegates to the recent convention of commercial Clubs In Indianapolis at which the matter of drafting a . bill for presentation to the legislature a year from next January, was discussed, will be read and fully discussed on that occasionA very able and ' comprehensive report was received from Charles E. Fowler, the representative of the club at the National Rivers and Harbors Congress at Washington' rec. 6. 7. 8. The report if of intc;st throughout and i

tee appointed to represent the citj- ir the congress, arriving at Washington Tuesday evening the 5th. The congress was called to order the T morning of the 6th with a large at- , tendance consisting of delegations from nearly every state in the union, as -well as delegates from many associations organized and furthering some particular waterway development. It was . very pleasing to nojtice that the Congress -was composed of men of intel- . llgenoe. and great interest seemed to

It is not the purpose of this congress to recommend or indorse any project but the whole ystom. and at tbe close a resolution was presented and passed

asking Congress to make a fixed ap

propriation for a fixed term of years,

years.

It is undoubtedly true that so far

as your delegate is concerned in th actual work of the congress little else was dono by m but to add one to the number present, but even then, I believe, it is good business for us to send a representative to these meetings, keeping up our interest in the business and showing that interest by our presence, and all the many clubs and communities doing the same thing make the National Rivers and Harbors Congress a great success and a power to bring about the accomplishment of the end sought.

A search of the entire Chicago dis

trict and the cities of the Calumet region is being made by Chicago detec

tives, detectives employed by the In

diana Steel company at Gary and by the police of the city of Gary in an ef

fort to round up a number of clever

copper thieves.

The thieves stole a spool -of copper wire from the plant of the Universal Portland Cement Co. at Bufflngton, valued at several hundred dollars. The detectives are so hot on the trail that they have discovered .that the wire, which was stolen several days ago, was sont to Tolleston, thence to Valparaiso,

where it was cut up and carried into

Chicago to be disposed of to junk deal lets' fences.

One theory of the case is that the thieves who stole the wire worked In

conjunction with certain junk dealers

In Valparaiso, who cut the wire into

convenient lengths and send it to Chicago. This theory is partly borne out by the discovery of a large portion of the booty In Chicago at different places. The proprietors of the junk shops, where the wire was located, are said to have given out information that will lead to the arrest of the thieves.

COURT DOCKET , (Special to Thi Times.) . East Chicago, Dec. 22. There are nine cases on Judge Walter J. Riley's

oocKet at the city court: The Lake

Shore robbery case Is the most Important one on hearing today. In case the Chicago toughs arrested in connec

tion with this holdup are acquitted on that charge they will not be released.

as me ponce are In receipt of a num

ber ' of new inquiries regarding the prisoners, all of which ask that they be held until' they can be looked over by parties who suspect them of havJng had a hand In serious crimes in which the writers are interested. The inquiries come from Washington Heights, Chicago Heights and Chicago. It is barely possible that the holdup men. who were so willing to come to Indiana without extradition, may find themselves back in Illinois before the authorities are through with t.iem, to face more numerous and more serious charges than those preferred against them In this locality.

benefit. It was agreed after this consultation that as soon as posible a bill

will be prepared and introduced to

make this a Port of Entry, but before this Is done we are to see that proper

information Is put In form and furnish

ed to them for use in getting the bill

passed. By going through the files In

the department of the Board of Engineers, we found much data of great value on file that can he used, but we can add to this and get It Into fhap and when gotten it should be put in printed form fo rgeneral distribution among the members of congress an 1 the departments, and I wish to recom

mend that a committee -be appointed to see that this is done, and at as early a

data as possible.

We learned while there one item of interest and that was that Indiana Harbor project was the only new project that got into the last river and harbor bill. All of which Is respectfully submitted. CHAS. E. FOWLER. Dated: December 15. .1911.

FINANCIAL MATTERS ARE CONSIDERED

Want Eleven Thousand

Dollars to Tide the City Over.

Financial matters were, taken up at

the special session of the Gary common council last night the chief of Vhich was the authorization of a $11,000 loan

to tide the ity over until the May taxes begin to flow in. Twenty thousand dollars was asked

but the amount was cut down. War

rants to the amount of $11,000 dated December 18 and maturing May 1 and

bearing interest at six per cent will be

Issued to raise the money. Payment will be made out of the May taxes.

The council appropriated $3,000 for the police department's account for the year ending December 31. Through an oversight the amount was made about

$200 too small and this may cafase some

trouble. Two hundred dollars was ad

ded to Mayor Knotts' expense account and transfers were made from various

funds.

It is probable that the council will meet In special session on December 26

to pass an ordrwance appropriating fl. 002.16 for the' city's share of the

First street improvement project.

So it has asUad the court that sentence be temporarily suspended and tha the defen-se be given until the first part of next term in which to prepare it3 briefs upon which the" motion for a new trial will be made. Under these circumstances tho de-

lendant would still be under the original bond and It would' not be necessary for It to provide another.

l lie court has indicated that he does not feel that he has the power to suspend sentence for that length ot time. He la of the opinion that th judgment against the defendant ought

to be entered during the same term of

cour in which th: case . was tried. Is Willing To Be Shown.

He Is willing to be shown, however, and Attorneys T. E. Boone and Herbert

S. Bare, who . represent the defendant

are preparing ;to present (he authorities and precedents for such action aH the afternoon hearing which will be

held at one-thirty. .

The decision will determine whether or not Gibson will ' be permitted to eat Christmas dinner at home. If the court

enter's judgment now it will be neces

sary that the defendant be taken Ir.

custody pending the filing of a new

bond. ' . Special Judge Vernon Van Fleet Indicated that he would set oneof the other cases during the Crown Point seslon of the circuit court next term. He has not set them down yet but another case is sure to be tried next term. Second of Trials Had. This is the second of several trials in which city officials of Gary are involved.

CONTRACTOR STARTS

WITH A JUMP

Building lines were staked yesterday

and grading work was started today

on Gary's 165.000 Carnegie library,

which is to be built in the north side

of West Fifth avenue.- between Adams and J"orson streets. . Contractor James tlarnes of Iogansport,' who is to build the structure at a cost of $53,000, proved himself no laggard. . It Was not expected that active buildtng .operations would ' begin until the first of the year. It is possible that the facade of the structure may be all stone instead of brick arid stone. Contractor Barnes has notified the library trustees that for a slight additional cost he will construct the front of the building entirely of he latter material The library board will have a special meeting next Tuesday night to consider the proposition.
