ARSON II THIS BLAZE IT SEEMS

When Chief Fly and three companies of the Gary fire department arrived at the corner of Twenty-tUh avenue and Cleveland street near the old Tolleston boundary line just - before snpper time last night they found a brisk blaze In a five-room. cottage. . -. Coal Oil Wan I'oetl. In the rear bed room adjacent to the

kitchen, the firemen " found a burnins

matress. They carried this out Into the

back yard and in doing so thought th'at

their, work -was done.

Another minute names . were soon

flashing in the room and between" the wall but they soon died out in the latter Place because of the lack of air. " Chief Feeley started an, investigation of the. mysterious blaze and he soon found, indications that coal nil "had been poured upon the corn-husk matres3. The walls were dug into with a. fireman's axe and oil saturated cloths and an empty cup that had contained oil were found where they had evidently been placed a short time before. Mjr Armt Tbl M. ,Rafel Philips, an Italian, "who with his family and some boarders lives m the house tried to explain that the bed

clothing caught fire because of , the

. overTturning o'f a pot of lard which hli wife was rendering. However, the story did not carry weight with the fire chief and today the insurance men . are, making an investigation and some arrests may be made.

He was heartbroken yesterday afternoon after the accident happened and finally decided to ko to the Settlement TTouse, where he would not meet so many accusing looks as he did around home. He was quiet at the police station, but this morning at four o'clock he broke down again and asked permission to go home. His mother came to see him at the station to see whether he was com

fortable and consoled him as best she could.-

members had to rely largely on from

(Special to The Times.) Indiana Harbor, Jan. 4. It was de

termined at last night's meeting of tne

Commercial Club to apTioint a commit

tee of seven to be known as the "con

vention committee" which will beein

work as. soon as named preparing forth coming convention of Federated Commercial Clubs which Is to be held this

year in Indiana Harbor. The commit

tee's duties, will be to get into touch with all the commercial clubs holding membership In the federation and get them interested in the coming convention. In fact to make all the prelim

inary arrangements for the convention, stirring up interest and keeping it up

until the time of the evenu-

Another new committee appointed by

the club will meet the officials of the city administration and make an in

vestigation into the lighting conditions

of Indana Harbor and East Chicago. There seems to be some doubt as to whether the light company is furnishing full candlepower according to Its

agreements and Jt Is to test thl3 mainly that be committee is appointed.

The transportation committee report

ed ' that they had conferred with the officials of the South Shore with refer

ence to restoring the early car between

Fast Chicago and Gary, into service.

December 9 the- car that-left here for Gary at 5:15 a. m. was taken off, the

earliest eastbound South Shore car 'now

being the one which leaves East Chi

cago at 5:50. This hour is Inconvenient

for a number 6f workmen who live in the Harbor and are employed In Gary.

The committee was unsuccessful in'- Its efforts to restore the early car, the

street car company reporting that they could not afford to put it back Into serv

ice as they were losing money on it

every day. Th company however did

agre to investigate the proposition 'of

esta.blishing a late car to serve Gary

workers living in East Chicago and the Harbor, in making the return trip. Tf they find this can be done without toss

to the company, the extra car may be put on.

An innovation was -established in the

club routine at yesterday's meeting. This provides that hereafter, beginning at the next regular meeting, a ten min

ute talk will be given on some live

topic of interest to the members and

to the public generally. A sneaker Is

to be named at each meeting, to talk on

a subject selected for him by the president, at the following meeting. This a

to be the order excepting where special business makes it inadvisable to devote the time to the talk. Matt Pernberg was chosen last night to discuss local conditions in base ball at the next regular meeting. .
