Mayor Knotts issued a call for the special meeting of the council to be held next Monday morn

board to be later ratified by the council also include one to permit the Gary and Southern cars to operate over the Gary and Interurban to Fourth avenue and Broadway. Oig Celebration Planned. If is possible that the first car operating direct from Crown Point to the steel mills will be run next Tuesday. The South Side Improvement Club of Gary Intends to make it a big event and a celebration is being planned. All that Is necessary to operate through cars from Hammond to East Gary and the Porter county limits is the installation of a crossing at Eleventh avenue. Rlda-e Road Benefits. One of the chief fruits of the traction pact is that the residents of Ridge road in Gary will have through service for the present as far as Forty-flfth avenue and for but one fare. Heretofore they took a Gary and Southern car to Calumet bridge and that this point they were obliged to take a Gary and Interurban car to the steel mills which represented an expenditure of two fares. Later on when the Gary and Interurban runs to the city limits the fsame tariff five cents will prevail, s It is expressly stipulated that the

Gary and Southern shall do not local business in Gary. But a passenger in Broadway may board a Gary and Southern car for- any point south of Forty-flfth avenue. Broadway passengers may not board a steel mill bound car north of this point. This enables the Gary and Interurban to

have all local business. Credit for the rapid solution of the traction tangle belongs to Gary and Crown Foint citizens especially the Gary committee named by Mayor Knotts. This committee was made up of A. F. Knotts, chairman, E. M. Semmes, secretary, Alderman R. E. Rowley, Public Works Commissioner Frank Shaw. It is probable in the near future that a traction loop will be located at Fourth avenue and Broadway with a traction terminal station nearby.

as a maxim In the United States se

come to know at a glance the counter

felt coins made by different men, and Adam Racke, at his last trial, when he was sentenced for circulating "bad"

half dollars, told Judge Anderson In the federal court that "those are not my half dollars." Ana, In fact, they

were not, government authorities said, for they were of the kind made by members of the Predom family, according to the officers. It Is said that Adam Racke obtained the coins from a cache In the sand wastes near Hosford Park after James Predom, the man arrested yesterday, had been sent to prison. He was detected while passing the coins and his conviction and sentence followed.

It Is the aim of the government

service to suppress counterfeiting more than punishing the offenders, and Adam Racke himself was once returned to his family by Federal Judge Grosscup of Chicago when the counterfeiter was about to be sentenced. In

the hope that he might be reformed. For a time, the government officials said, he returned to more legitimate

occupations, then suddenly Chicago

was filled ' with counterfeit half dollars which were quickly ' traced back to Racke and he was sentenced.
