The Sensational Affidavit.
(Continued from page on.)
It is stated on reliable authority that
when the million-ton rail mill of the
G-ry steel work resumes nperAtion.? on February 26 tht.t there will be a rtrrtage cf at least 2.000 skilled men In t?e big steel w orks. Although 7.000 men are now laborfag In the mills it is said that the company would put 2.000 skilled men elec-
trlclaos, machnists, engneer. rollers foremen, heaters, roll turners, guide setters draftsmen, cranemen, pitmen vesfielmen. subforemen and mechanics oT allied lines. Have F.BOniih Common laborers. While, it is stated that the Illinois Steel company could at once increase its force from 7.000 to the required S.900 the Increase at this time would be cemmon rather than skilled labor. Ons reason for the shortage- of skilled help Is due to the general pickup . through -exit the steel industry. With the exception of the rail mill, the entire plant consisting of eight blast furnaces, open-hearth furnace departments, rollng mills, shops an.1 foundries are pow in full blast. Mtlla and Coke Ovens Require 9.0OO. When eight blast furnaces. forty- . two open-hearth furnaces, the rail, billet, plate and all merchant mills and all auvillary departments in operation and with construction underway it re

' ', - " . In the meantime certain brewery In
tact, there were time when hardly anything could be heard at all.. The witnesses present with me had the same complaint. Mr. Dean Instructed me that in case I found it impossible to write any of the conversation from the dictograph to continue writing so that to give the impression to the witness in the room that I was getting al! of the conversation. These Instructions I followed and I did not set any of the conversation as written by me at the request of Mr. Dean. After each of the dictograph conver
sations taken on tiach of the abova named parties, none of which I was able to get hardly at all. at the request
of Mr. Dean we faked and made an en
tire new stenographic report of each conversation placing any other sucn conversation as Mr. Dean desired, and
Mr. Dean then destroyed the original
conversation, and at no time and in no
place did I ever hear a dictograph
coversation hetween Mr. Dean and
John Bi-""isko.
One day on my return from the city
of Chicago at Mr. Dean's request I
made up a pretended dictograph con
versation out on the typewriter by Mr. Dean and copied bymo in short hand.
The second record we tried to get on
Bowser, Mr. Vatson was a witness in the room with me. The dictograph was
not working and It waa Impossible to
hear anything said between Mr. Bowser
nnd Mr. Dean.. Mr. Watson after Mr. Bowser left Dean's room requested me to read my notes to him then. This
I tried to do and as I had none of tne
conversation I stalled until the tele
phone bell rang. Mr. Dean was talking and asked me how we had gotten
the conversai ion- and I replied that i was impossible to hear anything be
canne the dictograph waa not in working order.. Mr. Dean then came up to the room and asked Mr. Watson if he
had heard the conversation and Wa'son said: "No." Mr. Dean then asked if we heard anything about his glvin-l Mr. Bowser twenty-five dollars and Mr. Watson ; and 1 said: "Xo." Mr. Dean the following morning took the shorthand book over t Mr. Watson's fflce and tore it up in his presence saying that It was nt a record and that we would try to get another record on Bowser.
In al! of the first conversations be-
tween Mr. Bowser and Mr. Dean at which Harry Moose was a witness, Mr. Mooae did not try to hear and In fart could not hear what wan said and the
conversation was so long we did not tryto get what was said and I do not remember what was said and what Information I have of the conversation was given to me by Dean from hla own notes of it the next day. Dean destroyed every original shorthand book that I took notes in while on the other end of the dictograph and had me make fake notes. Mr, Dean had me make fake notes in every case and the original notes are not now in existence. There was nver taken by
me ay dictograph record on Thomss K. Knotts the mayor. Mr. Dean said when
Mr. Knotts signei the franchise that the job they put up on him did not work out the way they thought it was going to work. Dean, himself made all these records. There might have been some of the-conversations which
I heard from the dictograph, in what
Mr. Dean made up but at this time I
do not remember in detail, any part of the conversations which I heard at that time or was supposed to hear from the
dictograph. (Signed) MEYER HIMMELBLAr.

Eugene Walter's four-act play of modern American life. "Paid in FullY' which has been such a. success for over five months in 'hicago and two seasons in New York, will be given on next Sunday night, Feb. 18th, at the Hammond theatre. The story of "Paid in Full" is said to be virile, appealing and distinctly original, and to be unfolded by a set of characters that are types of real' life, familiar to every one. and full of human m interest. The scenes of the play are laid In New York, and the plot tells of the struggles of a young married couple who live and "keep up appearances on a small income. The husband, who is a weak character, rather than . submit to the morltficatlon of poverty, steals from his employer, and when his theft is discovered for his own -protection is willing to sacrifice his wife. Her innate goodness saves hijm and saves herself. A production in keeping with the artistic requirement of the play is promised. ' '

Clary, Ind., Feb. 17. The accusation
made by Councilman M. N. Castleman of the Fifth ward against H. G. Hay,
r., president of the Gary State bank, hat Hay bribed Antony Kaukus. a. for
mer member of the Gary city council, to cast his vote . In favor of a high liquor license, seems to be in keeping
with the spirit that is rampant here
'to get something on somebody." Bau-
kus, it will be remembered, was one
of the counciimen who was indicted for
accepting a bribn In the Iean franchise
rmitter. He made a confession and fled
t.hB country. -
Mr. Hay is a member of the Commer-
cis.l club, and the Commercial club-was
very active In pushing -an ordinance
which tinder th Proctor law was to
increase the retail liquor license fee jrt
Gary from $250 -to $500 a year. Hay having considerable Influence was one
of the men who asslsted in getting this ordinance througli. The tictivity of the
Commercial club and Mr. Hay was due
to the determination of the decent element of Gary to eliminate as many sa
loons as possible, their theory being that the fewer the saloons the less influence would be exercised by the dis-
reput.abe gang In charge of the city's
affair-. - That Mr. Hay ' lent Antony Baukus $400 is not disputed, and that it was a legitimate transaction is shown by the books of the bank. At the time this loan was made. Baukus was In fairly good financial standing. It was after he had voted for the high license that Baukus tried to negotiate a loan at the Gary bank.

he was cnusng down here in Indiana j Another source has it that he had an J
agreement with Iean, that he was to get three hundred dollars for every conviction, two hundred dollars for a disagreement, and a hundred dollars .i month as regular salary, -while the cases were pending. It is said that he had a falling out with Dean, and that he deserted Dean for revenge. At any rate attorneys for the defense believe that with Himmelblau on then side, the future bribery cases if there are to be any at all. are to be, merely

clean breast of his share in making up the dictograph records. . He said h5 was ready to give -the defense the true story, -and accordingly .the defense atorneys held a conference, and It was decided to send an interviewer r to Himmelblau, with the result that he came across with the affidavit in which Indirectly admits perjury, and accuses Dean of the same crme.

. Gostlin, Meyn & Company has just purchased all of the interest in the W. Gordon Smith property in Franklin Addition, which is Blocks 1, 2 and 3, lying between Conkey Avenue and Washington Avenue, Blaine and Van Buren Streets. There are seven, two-story six-room houses on this property, with all modern improvements, brick basements, furnace heat, bath, hot and cold water and all other conveniences. These houses rent now for $22.50 per month and ought to rent for $25.00 per month. One of the tenants said the other day, that her house was the best and most comfortable house that she had ever lived in for the money. , W. Gordon Smith built these houses to sell, with 372 feet for $3,100 and did sell some of them for that price. VVe bought this property at a very low figure and are going to sell it cheap and quick; so instead of $3,100, we are going to make the price $2,100.00 and inside Vacant lots, which were held at $400, we will now sell for $250 and Conkey Avenue lots for $375.00. Now, REMEMBER, the side-walks and sewerare all in and paid for and the terms on the houses are 25 per cent cash and $25 per month. Lots can be bought for 20 per cent cash and $10 per month, at 6 per cent interest. - - - - '- - . . , . .
