A series of sharp explosions that resounded throughout Gary at 8:23 o'clock last night produced no end of excitement and raised more conjectures than the happy days when nobody was sure whether Colonel Roosevelt was going to run for president. Those living in the east part of the city thought that the Aetna powder mills were on another rampage, and those living In the new concrete bungalows in the effect west end swore that another blast furnace had blown up and there were all kinds of calls for Gary 40, which is the telephone number of General Superintendent Gleason of the steel mills. As the echoes of the explosions rolled over the Little Calumet valley the natives in that flooded area said "thank heavens' it is merely Gus Newman and Tom Knotts blowing up an ice gorge and this will scare awaj the flood. Still others swore that It might merely be a celebration in honor of Tim Englehart; the boss of Ridge road, who was scheduled to return from sleepy South Bend, where he went to peddle lots. Ganoltne-FIUed Ela Blow l"p. And yet It was neither of these. The explosions were caused -by 'a half hundred of eels, which, becoming filled up with gasoline by processes described further on,, blew up when they came In contact with the proper spark. Now here is the story: It seems that last fall some Clarke Station fishermen left about fifty eels In eel traps In the Grand Calumet river near Ambrldge. There the eels remained all winter until the ice broke up and then they drifted down that sluggish stream until they neared the Gary steel works sewer at Virginia street. Eels Were Hnnrryj Drank Oaaoltne. From this sewer there runs into the river an kinds or oils, kerosene, gaso11ns waste and it was near here where the eddy had Jeft the poor starved eels. The eels, hungry from a long winter, gulped down the nourishing oils Just as a tramp does when he hasn't had anything to eat for two or three days and It Is no misstatement of facts, so Chief Bowser of the steel works police department says, to say that each eel drank up about a quart of gasoline.

habitants rose to the surface to enjoy the April air. Now it happened that Ed Elbe, master mechanic at the steel mills, had been down to Miller In his capacity- as park commissioner, where he looked over the site of a possible lake front breathing spot. With him were Harry Summers of the Gary hotel and Pontus Heintz. They missed their train at Miller so they hoofed it back along the Lake Shore tracks. Eel Swallow Lighted Match. As they neared town they got into a discussion as to whether there was any Hood around the' Grand Calumet, so the four trooped over to the river bank. And it was here that the catastrophe happened. Mr. Elbe lit his pipe and threw the match Into the river. As the lighted matsch descended one of the eels arose up and swallowed it without stopping to think. "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" I'xploNlonn Canoe Great Alarm. Then there was a lot of more biff, bang, booms and flashes of all kinds. The explosions lasted for three minutes and as Elbe, Heintz and Sommers fled from the scene in terror a gang of white-coated surgeons and two motor ambulances hastily left the United States Steel emergency hospital for the scene of the disaster. They were thoroughly convinced that open hearth furnace number 9 had been blown Into the river. This morning the sunlight revealed several dents In the river banks and scores of dead fish floating about. They were. killed by the explosion and many of the "Hunky" deckhands working on the ore docks gathered the unfortunate fish' in blankets, roasted them and had them for lunch. Elbe Sayn KeU Were Short-Clreulted. Today Mr. Elbe denied that he and his lighted match caused the explosion. He Is convinced that the eels were filled with gasoline, but he says that one of the eel plots was a positive electric eel and in the adjoining trap was a negative electric eel, slightly smaller. Both eels got tangled up in a short circuit and the explosions followed. Melville and Kennedy avenues, was will be in Oak Hill.

VUG EXPECTS BIG SPRING ACTIVITY

(Special to The Times.) Whiting. Ind, April 1. From present Indications with the advent of spring, a number of substantial business blocks, as well as residences, will be erected in Whiting. The Smith, Bader, Davidson Real Estate Company 1 of Whiting, have decided to erect a building on 119th street near Oliver street, between the First National Bank building and Joseph Bernstein's store, as soon as It is possible to begin building. The plans are now underway and when completed this will be one of the finest real estate offices In the county. It will be of brick, two stories In height. The real estate office will be on the ground floor, and according to the present plans, which are now being prepared by Architects Bump and Berry of Hammond, the secfloor will be laid out into flats. The real estate office will have every convenience which goes to make It up to date, Including a large underground vault, to contain abstracts and other valuble papers. The Smith, Bader, Davidson Co., now have their offices on the second floor of the Klose building at New York avenue and 119th street. The grown of this firm has been as If by magic and reads like romance. They have completely outgrown their present- quarters, which compels them to erect a building suite to the occasion, since their Interest are becoming so numerous and sov aried. The pioneer members of the flram. Fred J. Smith and Gallus J. Bader, both came to Whiting In 1890 from Laporte, and opened a bakery and restaurant For ten years they attended the wants of the hungry and then realizing that a good field for real estate dealers was open, they sold out their bakery In 1900, and went Into the real estate business, excusively. Their beginning was one on a small scale, but their growth has been steady. They have not only branched out In Whiting, but have also opened an office In Gary. About two yeara ago Charles D. Davidson was taken into the company, as a partner he now looking after the Gary end of the business of the concern, which Is now known as the Smith, Bader, Davidson Co. An enterprising purchase was re cently made near Indiana Harbor which was transformed into a beautiful subdivision, known as Washington Park and brought about the organization of the Washington Park Land Co. Considerable more ground was also recently purhased in the vicinity of the new Baldwin Locomotive work at Calumet. The firm's Interests how ever are not In real estate circles alone. for Messrs. Smith and Bader organized the First National Bank of Whiting of which Mr. Smith is now president and Mr. Bader, a director but the" latter president of the First-National Bank of East Chicago and also president of the First National Bank of Indiana Harbor. They are also Identified with the Whiting Land Company; the Petrolene Paint Company of Whiting; the Tolleston Lumber and Coal Company, a $50,000 corporation, of which Bader Is president and Smith vice president. Their latest interests are with the Westrumlte Company of Whiting, which was reorganized last week, taking in Whiting capital and in this they are also both heavy stock holders. E COULDN'T FIND FRESH EGGS Michael Petrowskl of South "White Oak avenue was probably the first man in East Chicago to be "April-fooled" this morning. In addition to working at the Republic mill Michael keeps a few chickens. These occupy a shed in the rear of the Petrowskl cottage. It is Michael's custom before he leaves for work each morning to visit the hen coop and take therefrom the eggs laid since the morning before. Michael paid his accustomed vistt this morning, but Instead of roosts filled with nice plump fowls and nests In which fresh eggs reflected . back his lantern's rays, he found . nothing but dreary emptiness. . Placards adorned with "April fool" met His gaze where ever he turned, not ohly, Jhe .iieats' but the roosts being adorned with these significant mottos. Michael did not trouble to notify the police. He thinks he knows the culprit and he Intends to have the satisfaction of dealing personally with them, as soon as he is satisfied In his own mind that they are the guilty ones. "It will be 'April fool' on them fellows." declared Michael as he clenched his fists.
