CALUMET

TO HAVE A FIRE STATION

East Chicago may establish another branch Are and police station, if the fire and police committee of the city council consider with favor a-sugges

tion that was pot up to them at last

night"' meeting: of the council. The idea is to locate the proposed station at Calumet, to take care of all the. district embraced within what has been called Oklahoma, but which Is rapidly losing its Identity as such and is now embraced within Calumet. The matter of establishing the new station was referred to the fire .and police committee together with a proposition to purchase an auto patrol and also an auto fire engine. The committee was instructed to look into

the cost of this new equipment, and Inspect the various makes now in use. The most urgent demand seems to be for the auto patrol, but some one suggested that if the city purchase an auto patrol It was likely that none of the aldermen would show up on council nights, as they would wait for the patrol to give them a ride. This 4pke was received with a grim smile by some of the counellmen who had guilty consciences on the point of failure to attend the sessions of the body to which they had been elected. The committee will report to the next council meeting, the result of the Investigation and make Its recommendations accordingly. .

SEA GIANT RAMS BERG TO ITS DOOM (Continued from Page one)

prominent, only 675 are known to have been saved. SAVE ARE MOSTLY WOMEN. The liner, Carpatnta, the first vessel to come within sight of the Titanic, rescued all the Titanic's lifeboats, ir. which were 670 persons, most of them women and children. Many women and children, however have perished. When the Carpathia reached the

spot where the Ill-fated vessel sank, no sign of life was to be seen anywhere, the mountanlous ocean . swells giving mute evidence to the stupendous disaster. No hope Is held out at the offices of the White Star Line that any man on board has survived to tell the story of the final sinking of the leviathan, al though some of the women In the boats may have witnessed the sinking. Only by a miracle, it is pointed out. could any person who stood by the ship escape the grat vessel's powerful suction as she sank to the bottom. A TERRIBLE COLLISION. Her forward plates were completely

wrecked, a gaping wound opening be

low her water line and letting the

water Into her forward compartments.

In the meantime the lifeboats were manned and into them were placed as many of the women and children as they could hold. These boats were put

off while there was yet some hope of holding the Titanic afloat until her wireless messages could summon help. ASTOR SEES BRIDE SAFE. Later and more comprehensive messages tell of great bravery on the part of the men passengers. There was a minimum of disorder. . John Jacob Astor, who, with his bride, was returning fro mthelr long honeymoon abroad, saw his bride placed in a lifeboat and

safely away. Colonel Astor was drowned.

CAPTAIN GOES DOWN. The work of getting the lifeboats

away, the work of allaying the fears

of the great crowd of, passengers as much as possible, the work of keeping the pumps in operation and the engines throbbing these tasks and countless others were directed by Captain Smith, the venerable commander of the Titanic, and before her advent the commander of the Olympic,-who displayed almost superhuman power of mind and body as- the world's most horrible sea disaster crowned his long and honorable service on the high seas.

ALDERMAN ARRESTED FOR QUORUM (Continued from Page one)

phoned that if he was needed he would come, but there was a quorum without him. An ordinance was passed by suspension of the rules, appropriating an additional $605 to apply on the building of the bridge, at Forsyth avenue, the lowest bid calling for this sum over the original appropriation of J5.0OO. A petition signed by almost all tha

members of the profession living In the two towns, was presented, asking the city to purchase a pulmotor to be used in case of asphyxiation. The gas company recently provided one for Ham

mond. City Attorney Ottenheimer ex

pressed a doubt as to whether the city

could do this, and the communication

was placed on file, the mayor suggest ing that as there was a pulmotor Grasselll he thought it possible tha physicians might make some arrangement with the Chemical Company for

its use in case of an emergency.

RECALLED SCENE WITH HORROR

rcontlnmed from Para i.) passenger with me on the. Bismark, the boat on which we had taken passage. About 6 o'clock in the. morning our at

tention was called to a full-rlgged schooner, loaded with wheat bound for England. In distress. The sea was running unusually high and the wheat in the schooner began to roll, and from all appearances she was a doomed ship. The Bismark encircled her at a distance of half a mile and poured hundreds of barrels of oil on the waters and succeeded to some, extent In quieting them. The first life boat that was lowered from the. schooner was daKhed to pieces against the sides of the boat, but the sailors were saved because of their life preservers, for eventually the Bismark: succeeded in shooting a Ufa line over'the schooner. The captain's little daughter was the first to be Jiauled through the water onto our boat and her mother followed. The schooner carried no passengers and every man in the crew, numbering thirty-five, was saved, the captain having been tha last to leave his sinking ship. "It was 8 o'clock in the evening when the schooner settled slowly for its downward plunge to the bottom of the ocean. That was in the day before (lie wireless was Invented, and but for the Bismark. which was the only ship in sight that day, the schooner's crew wouM have been doomed with the ship. "I have crossed the Atlantic five times, but I have never had. the experience of seeing an iceoerg."
