EAGLE CREEK TO HAVE GRAVEL ROADS , . Work This Spring to Start on Eleven Miles of

Pavement.

Eagle Creek township, in the southeastern part of the county, which hasn't even a foot of grave road, soon will

have eleven miles of gravel road running north and south and east and west

across that rioh agricultural township

Judge A. C. Huber of Gary, who has

the contract for the roads, will start work on them this spring. The con

tract price Is $39,000.

The east ana west branch win give a

good gravel road link between Hebron and Lowell. The north and south

branch will Intersect the Hebron-Lowell link and will extend from Range on the Glfford railway to Leroy in Wlnfiel dtownship. Leroy has grovel road connections with every point in Lak" and Porter counties. While Eagle Creek township Is the most isolated civil dlvTslon in the county Its dirt roads have been fair. How

ever, the gravel roads will prove a boon to the farmers and will give auto tourists bette.r chances of traveling through a very charming part of scenic Indiana.

RUMOR IS DISPELLED. There has been a rumor abroad the last few days to the effect that ground was being broken on the site of the Baldwin Locomotive works for the new plant, and this has created no little inquiry. This rumor grew out of the fact that a gang of men had been seen at work in the. vicinity of the spot where It is proposed to build the new plant. For the enlightenment of those who are curious to know it may be ex

plained that the men have not been at work on the Baldwin tract at all, but

were employed

cating It more or less to the remainder

of the force connected with the land

company.

The new rigs Include one rubber tired

top buggy with red wheels, and one

double seated Democrat wagon, with

canopy side curtains and yellow wheels. Also one clock for the dash and a parr

of goggles. The harness is nickel mounted and when the sun Is shining they hurt the eyes of spectators a mile

away. The horses, which are in fine fettle and looking their best, are almost

as proud as Hughey. over the new rigs

and harness. The latter were purchased by Robert E. Tod on his last visit here. The wagon and buggy are both of Stude- J baker manufacture. Hughey, It Is understood. Insisted on a Democrat wagon because of the color of his politics. The unloading of the parts for the statue of Liberty was as nothing to the care that was exercise in the unloading of these rigs. After they were safely landed, Hughey hitched up to the buggy and took William Wright out for a drive around the block. Hughey did not care to venture further, as he

wanted to be within a safe distance from the barn in case of a shower. Mr. Wright was given to understand before he started out with Hughey, that if the latter met up with a lady friend who liked driving, he was to alight to make rooom for the lady. Hughey is a trifle worried about the widows now. He is afraid he will not be able to withstand their efforts to "cop him out" now that he has two such creditable looking rigs at his beck and call. Hughey insists that the most costly Ilmosine is not in it for comfortable riding, with his rubber tired buggy.

at length on his subject having

brought with him charts and books dealing with the subject, together with pamphlets containing a story in Ksperanta wiht a key attached, which were distributed among the club women. The speaker recited a poem in the strange language and also sang a song, accompanied on the piano by Mrs. A. . Rosa Trof. Wlrick la a great student of languages, being proficient In a number of foreign tongues. These have proved a great aid to him In learning Esperanto, which Is a composite language based on the tongues of all peoples.

A number of members of the club think of taking up the study of Esperanto seriously. Piano solos were contributed by Miss Vivien Williams and Mrs. A. A. Ross. Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Kennedy entertained Prof. Wlrick at dinner after the meeting.

TWO GARY ROBBERIES. Despite the efforts of Police Captain Newman to suppress police news In Gary it became known that two robberies occurred In Gary yesterday la which women were the victims. Mrs. Catherine Zegich was robbed of $13.50 by Arthur Young, a negro, who was caught by bystanders and held until the police arrived. Mrs. Suszanne Suszlch came running out of a building owned by Alderman W. S. Feuer, screaming that three men had tried to rob her in the basement of the building. It appears that the worn-

There may have been some excitement In East Chicago and Indiana Harbor when the news became public that the Baldwin Locomotive works had de

cided to locate In the Twin Cities. There is considerable of a. ripple when the baseball season opens, and a declaration of war with Great Britain would doubtless stir up some enthusiasm In certain circles. But when it comes to the genuine excitement stuff, it was to be had yesterday when the East Chicago company received two , new rigs and a new set of harness to take the place of the old ones which have been In use for several years, and have just been sold. The excitement was centered largely within the breast of one Hughey Rigney, who for the past third of a century has acted as head whip for the land company, but Hughey could not well encompass .the degree of excite-

The talk was by Prof. C. M. Wlrick, professor of science In the Richard T. Crane Bchool, , Chicago under the auspices of the Woman's Club of East Chicago which met at the residence of August H. W. Johnson yesterday. The meeting was called for 2:30 o'clock and was attended by about 35 women interested in culture along all lines. It proved to be one of the most entertaining and instructive, sessions ever held by the club. Prof. Wlrick spoke

President Will Delay Naming Federal Appointments Until After Election.

Advices from Washington today lndlcate that Gary's postmaster will not be named until after the November elections. On the written advice of Indiana political leaders in whom the prealdent has confidence, a new plan of making appointments within the state has been put into effect. The new program contemplates that no Indiana appointments of Importance under the federal government shall be made before the election. The appointment of . a postmaster at Anderson Is cited as proof of the political wisdom of deferring these nominations. It Is asserted by the president's friends that Mr. Taft would have had two delegates from the Eighth Indiana district if it had not been for disturbances caused by appointments. The new rule means. In all probabili

ty, that there will be no appointment of a postmaster at Indianapolis until after the November election. It also means that Elam Neal will continue to serve as revenue collector until that time. There have been no Indiana presidential postofflce nominations for two or three weeks and there will be none except In emergency cases until the election Is over. Under the law, although a postmaster's commission may have expired, he continues to serve until his successor Is appointed and qualifies. The commission of Postmaster Bryson of Indianapolis Is now about to expire.
