THE TIMES

Fridav, Nov. 22. 1912.

It is stat-il on pood authority that the Michigan Central railway of the New York Central lines intends to enter Gary over the track elevation linos of the (litry and Western railway (owned tiy the V. S. Steel corporation) now umler lease- to the Chicago, Indiana and Southern, a lister subsidiary

of the Michigan Central. Will .lve Direct llouto. 1 The Gary arul Western elevation begins at LMxie east of Miller and proceeds west to the cast end of the Gary steel mill to Virginia street where it turns south to Tenth avenue. Here it hctcins to parallel the Michigan Central tracks through Gary, Tollestori ami Into Hammond. I'rt li mi na ry lrubIe-traokin work has already started on the hitfh line as it is called. It is stated that the. C 1. and S.. the lessee, which also controls the trackage from tha G. ami V. terminus at IMxle to Pune Park will le linked with the M. C. at this point. This will Rive the M. C. a pretty (traiirht route from Michigan City to Hammond. To Snve Truck F.levallon. Reason for the New York Central deciding to have the M. C. use its leased hiph line is to save track elevation expenses and tret hack money on the investment. It is only a matter of time until the Michigan Central, which crosses Itroadway and other streets, in the heart of tho city, would have to elevate tts tracks. It is also said that the Michigan Central will use Its old ritfht of way only occasionally and then only for lisht freipht truffle merely enough to hold the franchise. The Michigan Central was the first road to enter the county, coming in 1S52.

Second only in importance to the , convention sessions themselves, to- , nlfiht's patherinK has all the elements1 of a distinguished occasion in the civic! ifc of Hammond, and those who havtshouldered the burden and respons'.1 bility of the affair for the past week will look upon the results of their i brain and cr.erpy with a sense of sat

isfaction, for there is every promise of a brilliant success. The lively interest manifested locally in this event of principal importance from the standpoint of the layman is only a further indication that tonipht's symposium of dinner adn speeches will progress with dipnity "nd eclat. A general and satisfactory response met the invi'ation from the committee to the rr.en-of-a(Yairs of Hammond, and every one of the 400 seats at table in Masonic Terrple. it is expected, will be filled. With the dinner in preparation by tho ladies of the Methodist church, there is small doubt as to the satisfaction of the inner man. With that Important item assurred, the state asso(iation has felt no rnispivinps as to its own part in providing a suitable menu of intellectual delights. State Secretary Stacy last night called especial attention to the fact that the general public is invite! to hear the adresses of Ir. F.dward A. Steiner of Grinnel college, Iowa, the immigration authority, arid of Charles l. Hurrey of the international committee on Saturday evening in the Methodist church auditorium following the dinner given in the basement of the church for 300 boys of Hammond. The, fact that both Tr. Seiner and Mr. Hurrey have international reputations adds importance and Interest to their appearance la this city, and the executive secretary of the state expressed the hope that residents of the city would not misconstrue the double purpose of the dinner and the addresses to follow. The association quartet which furnishes the vocal music for the business men's dinner tonight will also appear at the Saturday evening meeting.

dome when the youngest was seized by the men. She told the police later

that she met Cera at a dance several weeks ago.

CONTRACTOR HAS FEARFUL EXPERIENCE (Continued Tram Par L)

422S Drummond street. He was Internally injured and suffered a severely sprained back. Mr. Newell says his accident was due to a pile of atone which was without a light, in front of a building in process of erection in Drummond street a few doors from 138th street. One Krskine is said to he the contractor who is putting up the building. The machine was a total wreck.

Strangely enough no one heard the

crash when the machine turned turtle.

Neither did any one hear Mr. Newell's cries for assistance after he had recovered consciousness. He believes that he must have been unconscious about half an hour. As no one came to his aid, the injured man was forced to do the best be could for himself and managed, he scarcely knows how, to

extriacte himself from the wreckage of his machine, and make his way to the nearest house. Dr. Orf was called to attend the Injured man. A number of people, after the news of the accident had ben noised abroad, among them John McGuan of Burns and McGuan, looked the machine over and started to hunt for one of the wheels, which was missing. This couli not be found however, having disappeared as though by magic.

fCootlcoed from t-t ccntly. Not only is Dr. Clark sure that he saw the man, but the clerk of the hotel recognised the man from his pic-

j ture. j Iist night Chief of Police Austgen I called at the Majestic hotel and secured statements from everybody who claims to have seen the fugitive as to ! his appearance and manner. He expects to present these fact to i the proper autohrities in Chicago to ' aid them in tracing the movements of the murderer after he left Chicago.

The fact that he was in Hammond several days after the murder indicates that he either had been in hiding

I in cnicago anu wa a lamj j getaway from the city, or else he had I been down in Greensburg. Ind and I came back this far to satisfy a mur- : derer's uncontrollable impulse to reI turn to the vicinity of his crime.

The dining room girls who waited on Dr. Clark and the murderer were shown the police bulletin picture of Koetters and positively identified him. This is the second murderer who has made his escape through Hammond. It will be remembered that tne Conways, the vaudeville murderers, also spent a night in Hammond while making their escape.
