SHEAK- THIEVES WORRY m POLICE Pay Checks, Bicycles and Currency Pilfered From Various Sources.

CONTRACT LET FOR BALDWIN FENCE Indiana Harbor Concern Is Awarded Another New Contract.

Sneak thieves continue to be busy with their operations in Gary and stolen pay checks, missing currency and disappearing' bicycles continue to be noted daily on the police reports. W. Rockwell, a department superintendent of the Illinois Stel company, had his Ranger bicycle stolen from

near the employment office of the steel i

plant. Frank Wols also had his "bike" taken from him. Here la a Strange Story, And a stange story is told by Joe Grlgger. 940 Washington street. Last night Joe ;.went to bed and there was 163 and some small change in his pant's pocket and this morning the money was gone. This is the second "sleeping" robbery lately and not long ago a south sider went to bed serene and happy and woke up with a big knife cut, real deep, across his forehead. Suit case robberies have also been

reported. Harry Finch, 629 Adams ' street, has his taken from him while drinking: a glass of mineral water at the Binzenhof saloon yesterday afternoon. A thief, maybe the same one, the police think, took James McGlone's

suitcase. McGlone lives at 748 Carolina street. C. Scofal, employed at the steel works, reports that last night his pay check number 6162 for $31.50 was taken from him.

GAMBLING STOPPED AT CARNIVAL (Continued from Pate oncl

The contract for the lumber tnat will be used in the construction of the Baldwin Locomotive Co.'a fence ' has been let to the Washington Lumber and Coal company of Indiana Harbor. The exact figure is not made public, but it Is known to be somewhere between 14.500 and $5,000. Thla is for the lumber alone and does not Include grading or work. The material will fill ten cars and will include 2,100 6 inch by 6 inch posts, from nine to fifteen feet long, 2.200 posts of 2 by four inch stuff, 16 feet long. 95,000 feet of six feet by six inch by 1 inch boards, 9,000 feet of eight feet by six inch by 1 inch stuff. The lumber has already been ordered and its shipment will start in about ten days, the lumber being delivered on the ground in car load lots. J. W. Reed of Hammond has the contract for the building of the fenoe. The Washington Lumber company is a new concern, recently organized and opened its offices a short while ago in Park addition. Its manager is A. H. Michaely and its officers ,G. J. Bader, president; Fred Smith, secretary and John Schaub, treasurer. The company was organized primarily to supply the demands of building in the park addition, but of course a contract like the Baldwin fence was not to be sneezed at, so the new concern made an estimate on the cost, together with most of the other lumber companies in the Calumet region and some in Chicago.

ROTHSCHILD S HIRSCH

Judgment vacating Alderman M. N. (Battleaxe) Castleman's seat in the Gary common council will be pronounced tomorrow In the Laporte superior court at Michigan City following "the action of a Jury yesterday in finding that he is out of office as a result of a resignation handed In on November 7, 1910. Betting Favors Canllrman. While Castleman will be out of office pending appeal by no means does It Indicate that he may not hold his seat In the common council after a few weeks have elapsed. Pursuant to the law the council will hold a special meeting to elect his successor and the chances are five to four that Castleman will succeed himself. Outside of the leaders of the Commercial Club, the organization responsible for the suit, the betting Is thit Castleman will be re-elected by the council. Of the aldermanlc votes four are controlled or influenced by the steel company and - four by the breweries. Rowley and Bowser work for the steel

company, Hess is aldorman by virtue

of steel company influence and Feuer

Knotts Faces Two Fires. It is no secret that the mayor would

like to have Castleman out of office as he has been a constant trouble maker

for him. On the other hand, Knotts Voting to oust Castleman would be showing a favor to some of the leaders in the Commercial Club who had a good thing to do with the bribery

prosecutions and if there Is any one

In the world Knotts bates they are

those who helped to push the bribery prosecution against him. There is some talk that Castleman may line up Bowser's vote and that the opposition will line up Szymanskl. During the next month there will be a lot of politics played. A few days ago Alderman Rowley was placed on the park board at Castleman's instigation and the latter now looks to the alderman to return the favor.

Tomorrow -is the "last day" in East Chicago and Indiana Harbor. No need of asking whether the, last day is the day of Judgment. Everybody who has children attending school, or who has converse with' other people's children occasionally, Is aware - that the "last day" means the closing day of school, before the "long vacation." The teachers are having their troubles. So are the children. It is so near the end of school that the youngsters cannot see why school doesn't close one day earlier. A day makes little difference. The teachers are getting theirs trying to keep the youngsters

down to Just the senrbla-nce of study. No one protends to really learn anything on the day before the last day, nor for a week before for that matter. And so there are "exercises'" in this room and that, and "exhibits" in other rooms for a week or two before the real close, to fill in. Tonight is the big doings. The high school commencement exercises take place in the Auditorium this evening, and everybody who can is going of course, and there are things chronicled for today and tomorrow In the grades. For instance there is to be a mannal training exhibit tomorrow. Not along the old lines, but the parents and others Interested In school work have been asked to see the boys at work In their workshops In the McKlnley building baseemnt, and Incidentally- to take a slant at their finished products for the year. The high school and the grades combine in this exhibit, showing desks.

In order that the occasion may be more fittingly observed, Judge Edward O, Brown, presiding Justice of the Illinois appellate court, one of the best public speakers in Chicago, will be at the school to deliver the commencement address. The best musical talent obtainable in Hammond will take part in the program. Judge V. S. Relter of the Lake superior court upon motion by Judge J. II. Gillett, former member of the Indiana supreme court, will admit the graduates to practice. Louis G.

Mayes Martin, president of the college, will confer the degrees and present the diplomas, this part of the program following an address to the class by Dean W. C. H. Keough, LL. D. The school has established the custom of making the commencement exercises public, without an admission charge, and this custom will be adhered to tonight. The program commences at 8 o'clock and will be given In the hall of the school buildiirg.
