IS FEIGNING

Gary Woman Who Drowned Baby In

Lake at Harbor to be Tried For Murder

Illiana Ardelion, the Gary woman

who drowned her child in the lake at

Indiana Harbor will not go to wn?-

cliffe asylum at Logansport in spite

of the verdict of the insanity Jury

which pronounced her insane.

Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Ralph

W. Ross stated today that. the woman will be tried for the murder of her child. He said that there -is no use

wasting a lot of sympathy on a woman who murders her own child.

Ross says that she is feigning in

sanity and that she will have to stand trial. If her attorneys enter the plea that she was insane at the time the

crime .was committed then she will be sent to the ward for. the criminally insane. Ross said that the woman left her husband and was living- in adultery with another man. She had an illegitimate child and it was this child that she drowned so that she could continue her life of shame. He says this is the sordid story stripped of its tear Impelling garnishments.

LOW BID GETS JOB

Chicago . and Aurora. One trouble that the board had to deal with was that some of the contractors had one and two bids und er different ' names. They also had to watch out for the old stall of another contractor buying up the recipient of the- contract after it was granted. Talk of Injunctions. There is talk now of getting out injunctions against the town board, the

movement Deing rostered by some of

the losing contractors. As far as can

be learned Grazlana has no entangling alliances and this is likely to cause the

citizens to approve the board's decision,

Noisy scenes marked the session of the Hobart town board last night when the trusted let the fattest sewer contract ever landed out in Hobart township. The noise was enhanced by a crowd of hired shouters said to have been paid to come to the meeting by a couple of contractors for the express purpose of browbeating the trustees. There Were Eleven Bidden. "While the trustees did not let the Job to the lowest bidder it went to the second lowest one. Greeft Bros, of Chicago who were in the first instance the lowest bidders withdrew. W. F. Brunt of Hammond who then low man was nearly $4,000 lower than the second lowest bidder. Vita Graziana of Chicago and Aurora who got the Job for

J46.346.65. There were eight bids

higher than those of Grazlana the

highest one being that of Lavene brothers of Hamond who put in figures of $57,063. The bids in full were: Green Bros., Chicago.. $42,043.04 W. F. Brunt, Chicago 42,060.60 Vits Graziana, Chicago 46,346.65 L. "W. Soruth, Milwaukee 47,128.01

Some of the contractors event went so far as to hire lawyers to argue their sides for them .but the trustees told them to cut it out and to go and hire a hall if they wanted to deliver a speech. "You would be surprised to know tremendous pressure was brought to bear on the trustees about this contract" said a Hobart man today.

Kowalskl and J. . Wierzbicki. Reports that bribery was used to influence the result will be investigated. The reason the fight was so bitter is the fact htat it is well known that this

is the- blow that will rid "West HamI mond of its dives. The mayor issued

the order to Chief of Police ohn Kul-

czyk last night to close every dive affected by the order and Kulczyk says

that he has done so. "West Hammond Is now a tight as a drum, according to the police. The meeting was an unusual one. The mayor knew that he had four aldermen upon whom he could rely. Accordingly he gave each of the four traitorous aldermen a chance to explain their stand. Some of them made no explanation and others offered flimsy excuses for their position. When Mike Modrzejewski stated that West Hammond had a good reputation until Miss Virginia Broooks called attention to Hs wickedness, he was hissed off his feet. r The manner in which the matter came to a vote was as follows: Mayor Wosczynskl submitted a letter to the council in which he gave the names of the dives and asked that their licenses be revoked. It was then moved by Kowals kland seconded by Jaranowskl that the report be referred to the license committee. This is the usual method of killing a measure. The. .motion to refer the report to the committee was lost by a vote of 5 to 4. Zimmerman, with Planer, moved that the report of the mayor be accepted and that his act in revoking the 11-

The party reporting the case requested that an officer be sent to take charge of him. On arriving at the freight house the officer sent In response to the call found the man on his knees praying. They questioned him but could . get little out of him excepting that he wss a Slav, that his name was Frank Kubine, that he lived in Parish avenue and had a sister at 71 Euclid avenue.

L DEPENDS ON WAR SECRETARY

in a body, headed by Manager Clark She is survived by a husband, Charles Elsurth, and a number of relatives.

In view of the fact that the opening of the Calumet-Sag canal is dependent upon the attitude of the 'secretary oC war on the question of the Increase from 7,000 to 10,000 cubic feet of water a second flow from Lake Michigan through the drainage canal the following will be of local interest. i Detroit's contention was aroused last year because Lake Michigan stood at

679 feet S Inches above sea level, the

wnen It stood at 879 States lake survey

for July shows that Lake Michigan now stands at' 680 feet hi inch above sea lever, a gain of 7V& inches over last year. "The rise of the lake level," said -Mr. Wisner, "cannot be attributed to an abnormal rainfall. As a matter of fact the rainfall in the region of Lake Michigan is ,1.75 Inches below the normal rainfall, which is 33 inches a year." Letter to Secretary Stlnuon. The letter of Mr. Wisner to Secretary Stimson is quoted: "While at Sault Ste. Marie a few days ago I learned from the attendants

that there was close to nineteen feet of

water over the lower miter ill of the lock. Vessels drawing eighteen feet

water of Lake Michigan is between seven and eight inches higher than It was at this time last year. I regret to say that the records for August are not as yet available. "This year has not been an abnormal year as to the amount of rainfall, although I believe that there has been mere rain than there was at the corresponding time last year. The records at Chicago show that there is a deficiency below the normal of 1.76 inches in the rainfall up to date. 'The water surface of Lake Michigan is now in the neighborhood of one and one-half feet higher than it was during the low water of 1895-'6, which was prior to the opening of the drainage canal." "These proofs against the contentions of Detroit," said Mr. Wisner. "should help us gain our request for 10,000 cubic feet per second. We are now getting only 7,000 cubic feet per second." - .

through. It seemed to be the general impression that the water was about a foot higher than a year ago at this time. This, I think, is somewhat large, but from the records of the United States lake survey it is shown that the

will receive $70 a. month for life. The pension became operative the day following the death of Dr. Johnston.
