BOARD MEMBER STARTLING ADVICE
"'Go back to the town you came from and raise h with the city administration and with your -water company. That la the only thin for you to do." : Such was the terse advice given J. C. Dickson of the Ka.at Chicago board ! of education a few days ago by AVoods Hutchinson, famous New York bacteriologist, when Mr. Dickson, who knows a thins or two himself about bacteria, lu-inn chemist at the Inland teel plant and a member in hiii standing of the American Chemical society, consulted him and Dr. YV". A. Evans of Chicago on the matter of pure water for the Twin Cities generally and the schools particularly. j He Started Noioet hint;. Armed with this advice, Mr. Dickson last nipht stood before the Commercial ' club of Indiana Harbor and East Chi- ; cairo and "started sonifthliiR." "The. villainy you teach us we will execute, and it will so hard, but we will better ; the instruction." was the sentiment, quoted by a member of "the club after j Mr. Dickson had repeated Mr. Hutch- j inson's advice, and sprung: the sur- : prise of the evening; in stating that for ' the paltry sum of between twelve and i fourteen hundred dollars and an out- ! lay of thirty-seven cents a day for!
chemicals. East Chicago and Indiana Harbor could be provided with absolutely pure water. Mr. Dickson said that the cost of the plant and of its maintenance was
known to the water company, which ! had entered into negotiations with a I certain firm to put up a plant in this I city. The negotiations had been called off, however, when the city council
turned down the unpopular meter water franchise asked by the company. It is pointed out that the present epidemic has cost the citizens far more than. $1,400 in doctors' bills and funeral expenses for the victims of the present epidemic, which, whether started by the water or the milk, is being extended all over the region through the a.f?ency of the water. This Is to say nothing of the loss of life itself and the suffering of those who have been stricken with the disease, terest in this subject was aroused when the board of education decided that the schools must be provided with pure water. Following up this action Mr. Dickson went to Chicago to see Dr. W. A. Evans, Chicago's famous bacteriologist, and it was his good fortune to

operations are going on and but for delays in the shipment of steel th plant would be almost ready for occupancy. Two hundred and fifty men are to be employed there some time this winter when the plant is completed.
Suprrheatrr l'lant lp. Just east of the 'harnpion Rivet company is the site of the plant of the Locomotive Superheater company. It occupies 20 acres at the angle of the. intersection of One Hundred & Fortyfirst street and the canal. This plant will be built in four units. The first unit will employ 173 skilled men. The buildings are already in the process of erection. The foundations are in and he grading is done. Just south of this plant on the canal
and also just oft from One Hundred and Fifty-first street is to be built the $750,000 power house of the Northern Indiana Gas & Electric company. The.n Jump across the canal on Oen Hundred and Fifty-first street and there notrh of this street the International Smeter company has an enormous plant in the course of construction. It has already built a fine office building" and it is constructing a number of substantial buildings. On the south side of the street the E.
li. Lanman company has onrchased four acres of around and will manufacture washers, hardware etc. It is expected that this concern will employ 125 men. Its buildings are in the process of construction. Employ l.SOO Men. To look at this street one would think that the whole region is being built up with small factory sites. It is destined to be one of the busiest thorou & hfa res in the ontire region.
Not far north of One Hundred and
Fifty-first street on the east side of the canal is the plant ol the Goldsmith Detining company. This is a large concern. It has built a fine office building. It employes several hundred men. So here are five concerns In the process of constructing plants that wiil employ in the neighborhod of 1,500 men. And all of this development i assured. It is in the process of consummation. It means much for Forsyth avenue and the city of East Chicago.
have an interview with Dr. Evans and Wood Hutchinson jointly. Both these eminent scientists, as well as Dr. Ledauer, bacteriologist and chemist at the Thirty-ninth street pumping station in Chicago, and C. J. Jennings, who installed and is superintendent of the stock yards water system, declared
that filters were absolutely useless In preventing typhoid. The only methods were boihng and the use of chemicals. The boiling method was impracticably n account of The expense, but thcchemiral road t pure water was cheap and absolute. The method is in use in hundreds of cities throughout the I'nlted States, and in these cities there ii re no typhoid epidemics. A temporary plant could, Mr. Dickson said, lie installed for about $600 and a permanent one for twice that sum or a little more. When the school trustee had explained the situation to Drs. Evans and Hutchinson, the latter told him: "Th re seems but one thing for you to do. Go back home and raise h with the city administration and the water company." Dr. Evans expressed his willingness, Mr. Dickson said, to come to Indiana Harbor ami East Chicago at any time and give the people here the benefit of his experience free of charge. Secretary II. C. Rutledge moved that the special water committee, of which C. E. Fowler is chairman, be empowered to employ counsel to force the
provision of pure water. Attorney Glazobrook at once arose and offered his services in this connection.
Dr. Herskovitz was the first to speak on the typhoid fever subject. He said the dairy which had started the present epidemic by the sale of infected milk was no longer furnishing any of the local dairies, although the state board of health on account of a lack of evidence had been unable to close the dairy. Dr. Herskovitz recommends that an ordinance be passed prohibiting dealers from procuring milk from dairies whose owners were unable to furnish a certificate from their local health department. The Commercial club will not abate Its activities from now on until the Twin Cities have pure water, the genuine pure water, which is dependent on no mere inefficient filtration for alleged purity, but in which the germs have all been killed deader than a door nail.

(Continued rrom Pari 1.) department on the first floors of new buildings, just as the men do. The association realizes that with the boys'
co-operation the general movement takes deeper root in any community and the membership grows old with the Institution. F. D. McElroy of the Hammond public schools is In charge of the boys' dinner on Saturday evening and ex-; pects that 300 boys between the ages ' of 14 and IS will attend this notable function, when Dr. Edward A. Stelner . of Iowa college, an immigrant boy himself, will deliver an address. Arrange- ; ments have been made with the domestic science department of the I schools to have charge of the prepara- !. tion of the food. The high school girls I
will serve. A larger number of student delegates than ever before will attend the convention in Hammond this year, according to R. C. Jacobson. student secretary of the state committee, who arrived in Hammond last evening. Mr. Jacobson has canvassed the twentytwo colleges of Indiana where associa
tions flourish and is confident that at least 70 student association delegates will be here for the annual sessions, j Of the colleges Valparaiso will send 20, Goshen 6, De I'auw 6. Indiana fi. State Normal 5, Wabash 5, Culver 6, and many of the other institutions of the state three and four each. The Culver delegates always make an impression in a convention city, because of their uniforms and their erect carriage. Culver next May is to be the scene of the largest boys' work conference ever held, and the military academy Is taking a lively Interest in the general work of the association. Thrre secretaries who are peculiarly fitted to present the various phases of their subject have been pickd for the student conference on Saturday afternoon. The theme of the conference will be "Community Service" as its relates to college work. Dr. Barbour will present the relilgous phase, Mr. Charles D. Hurrey, the social phase, and Mr. Arthur N. Cotton, the relation of the service to high school boys. State Secretary E. E. Stacy, who was expected today, will probably not arrive in Hammond until tomorrow morning. Other members of the state force will be in the city at that time also. Meetings of the commit tees on assignments and the business men's dinner were held last night for a final checking up of the details of their work. Chairman McDaniels of the entertainment committee reported having secured more than 200 homes In Hammond for the entertainment of delegates.

Ex-City Clerk, Though Dis
enfranchised, Was Elected to High Office.
Old friends of former ci ty clerk Harry
Moose in Gary expressed sincere re gret when they learned of his convic tion yesterday at Crown Point.
It turns out to be the singular fate of
Moose, they say that he the. reformer
who was assisting Thomas 15. Dean and the special prosecutors in pushing the Gary bribery cases, should be the first
to go behind the penitentiary walls,
on or me aerenaants, it is true, was
convicted but he died before the su
preme court could decide wjiether he should go behind the bars at Michigan
City. This was Alderman Walter Gib son, who died of a broken heart. Death And DlsaHtrr Follow.
So, already the franchise, in which
bribery played a ijart, has brought
death and the shattering of reputations
In its wake. Those who were always Moose
friends in Gary take Into consideration
that he was trying to lead a good life when his enemies uncovered a chapter
in his early life, which showed th:
he had been convicted of a burglary
charge when he was fourteen years old
a crime which he was lead into. So well did Moose conceal this phase of
his life that he was able to be elected
to a $2,800 office in Gary although li
nan neen niseni rancmsea. And any one
who runs for office In Gary has hl3 whole life history looked into and If it is found that there "is anything on him'' It is us.rd with a merciless vengeance. The one man who knew Moose's escret betrayed him when he was enpaged in the work of reform and this
was used as a club against him. Broken, he disapeared, taking with him bribe money for doing so. A Modern Jean Yaljean. Moose's life his friends say is in many ways the counterpart of Jean Valjean of Hugo's "Lea Miserables." Valjean, the galley slave convict, becoming a good citizen, wealthy, the mayor of his town; is betrayed an dhe, too, was dragged off to prison.
