The largest claims, however, are in Chicago. The plan is to have the creditors agree to place their claims in escrow with a trust company, to be paid later.

Colonel Timothy W. Englehart, the Gary real estate map and duke of the Kidge road, today announced that he is a candidate for Fifth ward alderman to succeed Battle Axe Castleman, deprived of his seat by reason of the Commercial club ouster suit. The announcement came like a thunderstorm In clear waters and great was the dismay in Castlemans camp.

and, according to those who know, the contest will be as forceful locally as ..ie Taft-T racket. "I have seven aldermen lined up," announced Englehart, as he ordered a box of fat campaign cigars this morning. "There is nothing to it-" Says Tim Tsea Steam Roller. "Englehart is Using steam roller methods was the response from Battle Axe Castleman's campaign managers, who think yet that may land Mawruss apokan back Into the council by reelection. "We will appeal to the pe-

pull to stop this grabbing up of votes." It is said that Knglehart's candidacy will have the backing of the south side real estate men, and as he is'identifled wth several, uptown business interests. FAMOUSENGINEERS VISIT THE REGION (Continued from Page one)

the work of excavation and of construc

This Is not the only work of public interest that is being prosecuted in this vicinity. The water company has a
