unloading the ore under the supervi

Hanna cleared from Indiana Harbor

today.

The Importance of Indiana Harbor as

a lake port town Is Increasing rapidly. There is scarcely a day but one or more

big boat clears from here, and by next fall there will be at least thre more big steamships making this port regularly. These are boats that are being built by the Standard Oil company

similar to Its big steamship the Re

nown, which is the largest lake- -birat

owned by the company. The boats are now under process of construction at the Cleveland Shlp-buIldlng company's yards In IOrraine, Ohio and will be completed in time to be put in operation before the navigation season closes. The addition of these three monster craft, each of which will have a capacity of 2,000.000 gallonsor thereabouts, to the Standard Oil fleet, means more to Indiana Harbor than what It signifies in the matter of increasing the importance of the harbor as a port of entry. It means business for the various tradespeople, as if these concerns make a right price to the boat people, they will undoubtedly secure much trade. These mariners live well and the big steamships carry Immense crews who have to be fed and their laundry work in Itself is an item of considerable importance. The Standard Oil company is not only increasing Its lake fleet but is making extensions to its ocean going fleet which make its Improvements in the inland fleet look like thirty cents. Two hundred new boats are being got

ten ready for coast trade against the

opening of the Panama canal. The

latest reports from this latter source

would Indicate that the canal will be ready for operation within a. year and

this means a vast increase in the ship ping Industry all over this continent.

POLICE ASKED TO LOCATE HIM The police were asked yesterday afternoon to locate Frank Cuslk, a bricklayer at Indiana Harbor. A woman

who came from Chicago and who gave

her name as Mrs. Doyle made the request, giving as her reason the fact that Cusik's little daughter wasdying. The litle one had been left by Cusik about two years ago with a family at 43rd street and Ashland avenue since when he has not seen much of the child. She was taken sick some time ago and her' ailment later developed into spinal meningitis. Mrs. Doyle knew of the child's sickness and thought it would be a pity if the little one were allowed to die without the father seeing her for the last time and understanding that Cusik was in Indiana Harbor set forth to locate him. The police aided her so well that by this morning the man was found and notified of the precarious condition of his litle girl. He started for Chicago

at once, but a telephone message from Chicago this morning Indicates that

the child died before her father ar

rived.

under arrest at police headquarters. Attorney Clarence Brttsch. who has been engaged to defend the slayer, who admits to the killing, says that a self-defense plea will be put up. "This Gibson was one of the worst negroes In Gary and he had a halfemptied whisky bottle in his pocket when found. I also understand that he had a revolver in his possession

and this is undoubtedly the one found by young David McCormlck. "Gibson Is the man who cut up tho hegro known as the 'Millionaire Kid, and he Is the same man who tried to. tab Don Van Lleuw a couple, of months ago. The people of Gary ought to give Kampeter a gold medal for ridding the city of this bad negro."
