mond at one o'clock August 31.

WATER CONTRACTORS LOSE Shea & O'Shea Encounter Difficulties With South Bend Sewer Job.

South Bend, Ind.. Aug. Less than a quarter of a. mile of sewer remains to , be 1&14 on Meade street and unless something . unexpected develops, the

the giant drain will be finished this

fall. Shea & O'Shea, 6f Hammond, Ind., contractors, have Just been grant

ed a partial estimate of $1,690.33 for their work. With the granting of the estimate, the sewer had been laid as far as Indiana avenue, and must be

continued to Calvert street, a distance

of approximately 1,200 feet. The Ham

. mona nrm has been working on the contract for more than two years and .because of the water ' encountered In the excavations is said to have lost heavily on the contract.

STEEL MILLS REFUSE ORDERS The steel market Is in such a strong position that several makers have refused to take orders for 191S delivery even at advances above the present quotations, believing that they will get far higher prices by waiting several months before booking themselves far ahead. The demand for steel for prompt delivery Is engaging the manufacturers' attention more than deliveries far into the future, the demand for prompt deliveries being more urgent than It has been in several years. Large orders for prompt delivery have been decllned owing to the present congestion at the mills in all sections. The head of a large company does not look for any relief from this .congestion for at least a year from now. The majority of the steel companies have sold from 80 to 90 per cent of their capacity production for the rest of the year. The steel corporation Is receiving orders at about the same rate as It making deliveries, and shipments are at as high a rate as possible. The Canadian Pacific placed an order for 6.0C0 cars with the Canadian Pacific Car and Foundry company of Montreal. Between 6,000 and 70,000 tons of plates and shapes required to fill the order will be made by the Carnegie Steel company. The Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburg railway has ordered ten Mikado locomotives from the American Locomotive company. A large order for structural steel and for other steel products will be before the market within & few weeks for the new $35,000,000 terminal of the Pennsylvania railroad In Chicago. The Bethleham Steel corporation will have a capacity of fOO.OOO tons of Ingots a year after the completion of six open heart'ti furnaces now under construction.

Will Return in Ten Days. Judge Lawrence Becker, who la in Montana 'looking after his private Interests, is expected to return to Hammond within the next ten days. It is confidently expected that he will be back In time to take part in the tenth district congressional convention, which will b held at Lafayette on Sept.- .6. Mrs. Becker, who spent a week at Ottawa, returned to her home yesterday afternoon.' '

DR. WHITE HAS . PERFECT AUTO While in conversation with a fellow physician today Dr. H. J.White brought up the" subject of motors and motorists. The gist of his statemenet follows: "Just to show the power of mind over matter I recently began a systematic study of what I call mechanical theropy. By an exhaustive mental exertion

i succeeded. The experiments were tried on my own machine. After a few weeks of work I have reached this stage of development. My auto will. In response to mental telepathy, take in

a supply of gasoline and water, crank up and run out of the garage around

to Its accustomed waiting place in

front of the house without a driver. I have taught It the principle of Christian Science and in case of a broken

shaft, or gear, it will rise above the inJury. This all goes to demonstrate the

fact that science is still in its 'in fancy."

Not an accident or an arrest occur

red to mar the success of the county fair this week, which is considered a remarkable record considering the im

mense crowd in the city and the fact

that there is always a certain number of undesirables and hangers-on ac

companying like events. The police were given little trouble and lawlessness at the fair grounds proper was practically an unknown quantity. Certainly the 1912 fair broke many records in point of superiority over other

fairs. The Crown Point baseball team will move back to Its own stamping grounds on Sunday after quite an ab

COMPLAIN OF

AUTO SPEEDING Residents of the east part of Gary,

Aetna and Miller are complaining of the excessive auto and motor machine

speeding in the Fifth avenue road be

tween Broadway in Gary and Lake avenue in Miller. Charges that as soon as a car gets by Broadway the drivers let t out to speeds varying

from thirty to fifty miles an hour are made.

Owing to the fact that the Gary end

of the Fifth avenue road is in the best condition and the balance somewhat

broken up the Gary end of the stretch is the favorite of the speeders. Gary police do not patrol this road on Sun

days, when- the heaviest speeding occurs, and consequently the joy riders may whirl by without fear of being molesjed.

The Idea prevailing last night was that if 1,000 of these would Join, the club would be a success. However the promoters seem to think that they are sure of a membership of . 600 to which to start, Although the E. J. & E. employes

are entitled to membership In tba Steel Club on Collins street, the building Is a little too far away from the center of their activities. Therefore they feel the need of a separate institution built in the yards at East Joliet. McManun Interested. M. E. Williams, a locomotive engineer, is taking the lead in the matter, and Is ably assisted by ethers.. P. F. McManus, general superintendent. Is Interested. Another meeting will be held later to consider unsettled points and to hear expressions of the feelings of the rank and file. Joliet Herald.

BIG SALE OF STEEL BONDS New Tork, Aug. 24. Yesterday's re

port of sales at public auction Include 2,000 United States Steel sinking fund 6 per cent bonds, which went at 102 and interest. The sale at auction of such a quantity of bonds $2,000,000 worth in all could not of course pass without remark, and considerable curiosity was excited as to the origin of this particular block of bonds. The public auction sales represent to a large extent the liquidation of estates by executors or trustees, but the question was still left open as to what particular circumstances necessitated the selling of such a large block of high class bonds.

Gossip about Crown Point being the

haven of affinities Is said to have brought to light the fact that Gary

holds the Marathon record when comas to affinities.

That there is more affinity work go

ing on in Gary than In any other town of Its size in the state is the gossip

handed out by one who knows the In

side history of the town. Married men

with married affinities and young girl affinities; wives with bachelor affinities; and affinity circles within circles are declared to exist.

As a matter of fact it is said that

the higher the social plane in Gary the greater the number of affinities. Stories of trips to Chicago, Deep River, Michigan City, etc, are causing much

gossip in Gary.

Miss Bridget Gorman had a narrow

escape from death night before last when she was overcome by gas while

taking a bath. Miss Gorman Is the daughter of Sergeant and Mrs. Michael Gorman, 4520 Baring avenue, East Chicago, and is employed as stenographer by the Calumet-Kennedy company. The family has a gas water heater In the bathroom and this was burning at the time, generating poisonous

fumes and exhausting the oxygen. Miss, Gorman was in the bathroom so long that her family became alarmed. Mrs. Gorman called to her and rapped on the door and, receiving no answer, the door was forced. Mrs. Gorman entered and found her daughter unconscious in the bath tub, which was half-filled with water, and it seems almost providential that the young woman was not drowned before her rescue was effected. She was carried at once to an open window and Dr. A. A. Ross was summoned. The physician worked over her for several hours before consciousness was restored, and it was only this morning that the patient was declared out of danger. "It is no common thing" for gas heaters which have no pipe through which to ventilate them, to produce the effect suffered by Miss Gorman. The steam which gathers on the water pipes and condenses, dropping Into the

The woman said on the stand she thought Radeloff had divorced her and she did not tell Stocker this because she wanted to bury the past. While visiting relatives here, she said, she met Radeloff who told her she still was his wife. He tried to force his at
