A number of veterans of the war of 1861-65 are somewhat perturbed over the manner in which they will receive their pensions at the end of the next quarter and the following will be interesting to every pensioner as well as everyone else who has dealings with the ol dsoldiers. According to information reaching this office the next pension vouchers will be sent out on or about January 13 of the coming year, the last checks or vouchers reached the pensioners on November 4 with an explanation of the new method. In the future the checks will come direct from Washington. D. C, and can be cashed at any bar k like an ordinary check. They must, however, be endorsed by the pensioner and two witnesses, to whom the pensioner must show that he is the rightful owner of the check and that Ms certificate number Is the same as th one on the check. With no further red tape he will receive, his money. The new plan of paying pensions will

be handier all around. It tak8 the work entirely out of the hands of pension agents, who formerly executed the vouchers received by the soldiers. The vouchers were then sent back and at the next quarter a check for the voucher already executed and another executed voucher for next pension day were sent the pensioners. The new method will also save the pensioner trouble, as all he will be forced to do will be to fro to tlie bank with his check and certificate, endorse his check and have two witnesses do the same. Under the old method a trip to the pension agent was necessary. Heretofore the vouchers have been sent from Indianapolis, Ind.; Lexington, Ky . and Columbus, O., but they will come from Washington in the future. Pensions will be sent to the last known address. If a pensioner changes

his address he should notify WashinI ton. giving his former address and his ! new one. Otherwise his pension will I tip) sent to the old address. I ,

Scores of Hammond people flocked to the Hammond public market this morning to buy their Thanksgiving day turkeys and chickens. Live turkeys sold for 22 cents a pound, and while there were only about two dozen dressed turkeys on the market at 22 '.-j cents a pound, orders were taken for delivery at this price. Live Plymouth rock spring chickens sold for 12 to 14 cents a pound by one man while another held his mixed breed of spring chickens at 15Va cents. The turkey prices were materially lower than In some of the local butcher shops where they were quoted at 2S cents a pound dressed. Market Master Frank J. O'Rourl'.e who had Inaugurated the special turkey sale for today was satisfied that his plans were a success, and that owing to the market poultry was sold at rock bottom prices. Orders Taken for Delivery. Mr. O'Rourke had arranged with Herman Holtz, a South Calumet avenue farmer to buy up turkeys among the farmers and to bring his own into the market. Their first plan was to bting in about two hundred dressed turkeys, but the dressing of these proved a bia:

job, and so it was declced to put both j live and dressed on the, market. The I

balance of the live- turkeys were held pending orders which were taken by Mr. Holtz' son. who has a store and market on State Line street and Rimbach avenue. The first supply of dressed turkeys lasted no time. The birds could hardly be weigrhed fast enough to suit to the customers. When the live and dressed poultry had been disposed of Mr. Holtz and Market Master O'Rourke announced that orders for live or dressed turkeys would be taken on receipt of a twenty-five cents deposit, and Mr. O'Rourke announced that he would

guarantee that the turkeys would be slaughtered today, so that customers need not fear of getting cold storage birds. Two Globn Station farmers were also in the market, one with a large number of fine riymouth Rock spring chickens, and the other with a load of garden truck principally cabbage. Herman Holtz Sr. also had a limited supply of garden truck. Marketmaster O'Rourke announced this noon that the public market will again be open tomorrow morning. He has already made arrangements with one farmer to bring In live chicken3 at 12 cents a pound, and at the same time he negotiated with a Hammond man, who has fifty turkeys, with a view of inducing him to bring them into the market. One hundred and eightvefive Hammond people either bought or placed their orders this morning for Thanksgiving turkeys at 22 to 22 a pound.

Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 16. Judge Joseph G. Ibach of Hammond today became chief justice of the appellate court, and Judge Leander J. Monks of Winchester, chief justice of the supreme court. GIRL IS TRAPPED lfl80UTH BEND Anna Stephanski, Witness in Federal Case, Taken to Hammond.

Through the efforts of Chief Austgen. the Hammond poljce department are credited with solving another mysterious disappearance yesterday afternoon when 15 years old Anna Stefanski, 39 154th place. West Hammond was located at South Bend. Ind. The Stefansk'i girl suddenly disappeared about four weeks ago, during which time. Chief Austgen has made a country wide search for her. Linked to her disappearance William LaTulipe a former Gary & Interurban conductor is being held under $3,500 bonds at South Chicago on a charge of violating the Mann white slave act. About four weeks ago, LaTulipe invited the young girl to go to South Chicago with him, to visit some friends. He had the time" so arranged that the

young girl would miss her tpuin and telling her that she would be unable to go back to Hammond that night, he took her to a South Chicago Hotel. Upon learning that he was to be arrested on serious charges, preferred by the Stefanski girl, LaTulipe tried to make his get away, but he was captured later by the Hammond police. At first he was to have been taken before the superior court In' IianVrnOhd, but it was thought best fo take him to Sc-ttth Chicago where he will be tried sometime today under the Mann act. If LaTulipe escapes punishment In South Chicago, he will be brought back ' to Hammond and tried on other charges. Yesterday Chief Austgen learned that the Stefanski girl was in South Bend and upon sending an officer, she was located on the outskirts of the city, where she was visiting friends. She was brought back to Hammond last night and today will be turned over to her parents. She gave no other reason for her disappearance, than the fact that she went to South Bend to secure employment.

The price of hair cutting is going up in Gary! Hammond has boosted the price' And Indiana Harbor and East Chicago will probably follow suit. Hammond and Gary being thoroughlyy metropolitan has followed the lead of Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, Pittsburg, and St. Louis and after December 1 the price for a hair cut will be 35 cents. Strong pressure is bein,? made to make Indiana Harbor and Bast Chicago as metropolitan as Gary, New York, Chicago et., in the matter of barbering prices. The decision to raise the price of hair cutting in Gary was made at a. joint meeting of bosses and union barbers at the Gary hotel last night. Here is the official statement telling all about It: "Gary, Ind., Nov. 25. 1912.

STORY INTERESTING BUT IT IS ALL FALS

A South Chicago publication yesterday went to the trouble of printing under a glaring scare head another absurd statement concerning damage caused to the Inland steel company's property at Indiana Harbor on account of the alleged "quicksand" which the publication has gleefully reiterated and again has rendered unsafe the mills both at Gary and Indiana Harbor. An Awful Landslip. To the storm of Saturday night end Sunday is credited an alleged "landshlip" at the Inland, which the scare head states "sweep news works in the Lake" The headlines continue "Storm washes away sand and made land crumbles like pasteboard. Tons of coal fall into water. Wreck and disaster result again from trying to build on shift sands. Can South Shore of Lake Michigan ever be conquered?" What Paper Said. The article itself state: "A large portion of the forty acres of land recently 'made' by this same company (the Inland) was swept in the lake. Along with

KILLED Al BUFFIIT

A shocking accident occurred at t ie Buffington cement plant on Sunday when I. Luca, aged 35, an oiler, was drawn into shafting when he was oiling a gear and so mangled that he died later at the Gary hospital, whence he was brought. Burns & McGuan were the undertakers. The funeral was held from the decedent's home, 3535 Pennsylvania avenue. Rev. Mihalton conducted the services. Interment was in the Hammond Polish cemetery.

the 'made' land went sixty tons of coal and considerable construction paraphernalia, while a considerable amount of valuable machinery was destroyed. "This land, which was washed away yesterday, was to have been the site for the new coke ovens of the Inland Steel company. The work of filling in the land had been practically completed and arrangements were being made to commence work on the battery of coke ovens. "Some well-informed steel men say that yesterda's accident at Indiana Harbor may cause the Inland Steel company to abandon its plans for the erection of coke ovens and further expansion at that place. It is a well-known fact that officials of the company are greatly discouraged with the losses sustained by the collapse of docks, wasouts, etc. The best possible engineers have been employed, but it seems that the quicksand will triumph ovr everything else." Story Is A Joke. Superintendent John W. Lees of the Inland mill, when his attention was called to the article by The Times (Continued, on Page 6.)

HEALTH OFFICER AT HOBART (Special to Thb Times.) Hobart, Ind., Nov. 26. Dr. T: ' W.

(Special to The Times.) Crown Point. Ind., Nov. 26. The recount of the votes in the Simon-Bren-nan contest will be ended after tomorrow. It has been learneed that the

If Brennan lias a chance to win as a result of the re-count that fact will have to develop In the count of the remaining thirty precincts. The contest, as is the case nine times out of ten, is fruitless.

"The Great Divide." "The Great Divide." by A mr lea's youngest poet and playwrisrht. William Vaughn Moody, is the attraction scheduled at the Hammond theatre on Thanksgiving day. The severest critics of the world have lavished untold praise upon this great American play from San Francisco to New York. Presented the first time in this country by Henry Miller, it was played ',00 limes at the Princess and Daly's theatres in New York city. Heretofore attractions which have endeavored to portray the real mountain characters of the Cordilleras were plays designed for ( heap sensational appeal. But "The Great Pivide" is literature that will endure, while at the same time it is one of the most human plays ever produced. Complete hi scenic effects, and played by an excellent cast of picked players, the production comes to us under the management of C. s. Primrose, one of the western producers, who has in -.he past season furnished the west with such high class offerings as "The Thief." "Paid in Full," "The House of ;i Thousand Candles," etc.
