Commercial Club at Indiana Harbor Receives Congressman Crumpacker's Letter Telling of Story Published in The Times.
The news from Washington to the effect that Indiana Harbor stands a good chance of bern? made a subport, did not cause as , much rejoicing as though th prefix could be dispensed with and the city be classified under the capitloh "port of entry." Congressman Crumpacker's lettef read before the Commercial Club at Wednesday night's gathering however, dispelled ail hope that there was anything better than the rank of "subporf In store for Indiana Harbor; Congressman Crumpacker explained the situation very careffilly in the letter as follows: "I saw Mr. Curtis, the chief jf that service." (referring to the treasury department) "and he told me that the department could not recommend a new district for Indiana, bat that all of the harbors of Indiana would be kept in the Chicago district, and a sub-port woulr be established ir Indiana, probably, at Michigan City. I took the subport question up with him and showed him that Indiana Harbor had mora
trarnc than botn tiie other harbors on Xake Michigan, and that if a sub-port
wVs to be given to Indiana, it should be at Indiana IJrbor. .1 convinced him that this was' the situation and he agreed to recommend a sub-port for Indiana Harbor In the general re-dis-trlcting scheme. It was my opinion that the first plan would not go through and I therefore introduced another bill providing for a sub-port at Indiana Harbor, with authority to enter and clear vessels and to keep a record of all the traffic at that place. My belief is that the sub-port proposition will be recommended by the treasury department and I hope to get through. Under the sub-port proposition Chicago will get credit generally for all of the traffic of th district, but . the record will show how much of the traffis naturally belongs . to Indiana Harbor. I had the matter up with the .treasury department thi morning and went Into It at considerable length. This the best that can be gotten aid t think tt wtll anawnr mu nt 1 a 11 v 1
TsiiSTour place at the preaent time." Th delay in making the final reports In the breakwater Improvement is explained as being caused by the unwinding of red tape irt the matter of deeds. It wan at first Intended to have a 400 foot channel but this has been changed to 300 feet and it necessitates the mak lng of deeds conveying property back to the original owners. There have been discrepeneles found between the UniteJ States Survey and that of the county, and this is another cause of delay. Mr. Crumpacker emphasizes the necessity for haste ' In settling these things, declaring that until the engineer's report Is made, carrying the estimate of the cost, the Rivers and Harbors committee of the house will not give any consideration to the break, water project.
POLICE DEAL KNOCKOUT TO 'BEAR' DANCE Without otentation and without undue "press-agenting," Joliet put "herself on record as being opposed to the "griiily bear" dance, which Is a disgraceful feature at the Saturday night dances given at the Garden hall. The secret Jujt leaked out today and an investigation gives proof that the police will not stand for the "rouitrh stuff." A foreign organization gave a dance at Turner hall and there were vague rumors floating around to the eiTect that there would be a "real grizily 'bear dance" pulled off. The chief of police heard about It and Investigated. KJeven o'clock was the time set for the big society sensation. "Aha." quoth he, . "a grizzly bear dance in my nice town? Not a chance. Detective Hennessy, you will proceed to attend this dance arid put the kibosh on the grizzly bear thing." "What Is a grizzly bear dance?" asked Hennessy. "Why, you stand up and walk on your tip does and wave your paws. 1 mean hand?, as though you were looking for something to eat, at the same time keep
ing ttm,e to a tune that can't be called a classic. It s something that we oatxnot stand for. - I don't just know, what It is exaf-tly, but stop it janyhow." At 10:45 Detective Hennessy called up the chief on -the telephone and said. "Say. chief, this is not going to be a grizzly bear but a 'bear-cat' dance. What will I do." "Abear cat is a little grizzly bear, and little bears are more wiggly than big ons, so stop It," answered the chief. It was stopped, and Joliet went on record as being, through its police department, opposed to the "grizzly bear." All because the chief could not see where there was any "poetry of motion" in the waddling of a bear. Joliet Herald.

Steps are being taken by the town board of Miller to organize a volunteer fire department, which shall consist of twenty men. Town Marshal Olaf Riser has already been appointed chief of the fire brigade and this week he is making a tour of the metropolises of Iake county studying their fire departments. Yesterday Chief Riser spent the day in Gary
learning some new things in fighting fires. Han Tn Hose Carta. The town of Miller' starts out with equipment in the way of two chernical wagons of forty and eighty gallons ca-
' parity, respectively. A horse is to te j purchased to assist in hauling the apparatus to conflagrations, as it was
demonstrated that other motive power than that furnished by huskjmen Is needed if quick runs are to be made to burning buildings. The organization of the department will be starred in a few days and an election of subordinate officers will be held in the near future. I'ntil a year ago Miller had no Are apparatus. Then one night there was a big fire in a saloon building and Judge Westergren was provisional chief of thA bucket brigade. Water was dipped from a near by barrel and during the excitement Chief Westergren fell off of the roof and landed in the barrel. When he struck the barrel aJl of the available water 'supply was splashed out on the ground, and it was not until several barrels of good beer wire poured upon the flames that -they were quenched. Since that time Miller has been cognizant of its fire dangers. To Pr Rrd Shiran. There are several candidates for the position of company bugler, which gives that .officer the privilege of riding on the rear seat of the horse-drawn cart. Former Town Clerk Mike Zelllbor is said to be a candidate for the job. Next week tlvc town board will visit Gary for the purpose of buying twenty-one fire he-lmets. two dozen of red shirts, a big bell, some pick axes and other fire department paraphernalia. OPENflHS
