HANDSOM

E GIFT FOR MAYOR Mayor Schlieker was surprised last evenig by the polioe department, who presented him with a most unexpected Christmas gift In the form a complete sterilizing outfit to be used in steriliz ing surgical instruments, bandages, gauza and 6uch like commodities used by physicians and surgeons in their practice. .. The outfit was the best that can be obtained from the Bete establishment In Hammond. It is nickel-plated throughout with the exception of the base which is of whit enamel. The center is devoted to a water heater while on one side is the part devoted to the sterilizing of instrumnts, and on the other side three compartments for the sterilizing of bandages gauze, cotton etc. The police officers all "chipped in" for the present, and at the instructions of Chief Leo McCormick who thought of and selected it, assembled at the station at 6 o'clock. Mayor Schlieker was then requested to come to the station, which he. did. The completeness of his surprise was apparent when he arrived and learned for what he was wanted. To Chief McCormack had been entrusted the duty of making the pre-1 sentatlon speech, which he did In fine fashion. He opened his remarks by tating that this was the season when peace and good will toward all man kind reigned .and when gifts between frends were in order. The police were aware that there were few things the mayor was in need of. The getting th money together for a gift was the easiest part of it. The selection of something suitable, was the difficulty. The sterilizer had at last been chosen as something that might prove useful and therefore the most acceptable, and would serve after all "this administration business was over" to remind the mayor of one of the best police departments ever known to northern Indiana. The chief felt that he was Justified in saying this of his men. He himself was immensely proud of what they had accomplished during the year. Many other things were said which would be worthy of record, were pace not limited. The Mayor was taken off his feet but after a few moment's reflection arose npbly to the occasion and in splendid fashion answered his police chiefs remarks. He acknowledged his total surprise. He said that nothing they could have chosen, would have pleased him more. The gift was some thing he could use every day in his practice. It was an invaluable asset to a surgeon and for this, as well as for the kindly thought that aecompani ed it, he had to thank the donors. He paid th boy a high complment on their efficiency and faithfulness In their service to the department, saying h was. well! pleased "wtthjtbelr work from every standpoint. It was a love feast, as Chief McCor mack expressed, it, all round and the members of the department dispersed, after the speechmaking, well pleased that their gift had brought the pleasure they mant It should. HISTORY OF XMAS IN GARYLAND Tomorrow Gary will observe Its seventh Christmas. The first one was observed in 196 when a few handful of early settlers living In " the shacks around the present site of the Interurban depot observed Christmas. Beyond Fifth avenue the woods and sand dunes of the wilderness that the pioneers of the early spring had found were still there, and just over the Grand Calumet river could be seen the faint evidences that some construction work was going on. I The residential portion of Gary consisted of the cluster of shacks around Fourth avenue and Broadway. Ckrirtmaa In 1907. Christmas a year later brought a wonderful transformation. Broadway was paved, as were most of the first subdivision streets. There was illumination in the way of gas and electric light, although street lights were not in operation yet. The telephone exchange had just been Installed with some seventy or eighty phones In operation, including one in The Gary vening Times office, Gary's first daily paper. The Gary hotel was in operation more than a month. As yet no church had been completed. Ilev. Father Thomas Janse-n, the first pastor in the city, was holding services in the Blnzenhof hall and the Episcopalians had a portable house for their edifice. Other churches held services in various store rooms. . A Magic Change. The change from 1906 to 1907 was almost a magic one. The little settlement of a year before took on the ap pearance of a city a good many years old and at least 10.000 people were liv ing in the city. However, there were no street cars, interurban lines, but one motion picture house, no street lights, and no mills in operation. The following Christmas the Gary steel works was in operation a few weeks. A NERVY HOLDUP. Paul Weada was held up last evening on Euclid avenue, Indiana Harbor, near the German-American Car company, and robbed of his clothes and $87 In money. Weada insists that he was enticed from Tacoma, Wash., by Joe Daczdk and another who were his mates there for two years. They induced him to come to Indiana Harbor, and after he arrived there they held him up, gagged and tied him up, leaving him des titute. He managed to release him self from hs bonds and get to the po lice headquarters.

GOOD SALES III FIRST SUBDIVISION

Average of Lot Per Diem Has Been Sold by GaryLand Co. Despite the holiday seanon the Gary Land Company reports good sales In first subdivision property and as every lot that It seels means a new building in a specified time the buying at this time indicates a good building area next spring. On an average of one residential lot a day has been sold by the company during the past month. John Kerr has bought two residential lots upon which he will build at once two frame buildings, two stories in height, costing 14,000 each. One will be in Jefferson street Just north of Fifth avenue and the second one In Tyler street, near sventh avenue. ' Workmen are now engaged in finishing up the roof on Gary's new $100,000 home for Its sick, the Mercy hospital, which is being built by money furnish ed by the people of Gary. Sisters of St. Francis, will conduct the institution. TO RUSH WORK ON NEW THEATRE Ornate Structure Designed as Amusement Palace to Be Built in E. Chicago. East Chicago's new theatre is to be rushed to completion after all. It had been stated that the foundations alone would be built, and the building itself remain unbuilt until next spring. It develops, however, that work Is to go right along, a number of contractors figuring on it now, the plan being to let the contract Saturday. As soon as the contract Is let, weather permitting, the work on the main body of the structure will be begun. While the plan for general structure will be very ornate, the front being of rich, polychrome terra cotta. The foyer will be approached through two splendid bronze portals and the door at the side leading to the ha,ll upstairs, will be of bronze. The walls of the foyer and corridors will be faced with rich verde antique marble and the theatre proper, which will seat 600, will be elegantly finished and furnished. The proscenium arch will be forty feet high and, the floor bo constructed as to provide a. good view,) of thestge froni every seat In the house. The lower floor will provide, not filnne for th theatre find Its attendant features, but a small store, and an entrance to the second floor. Upstairs there will be a dance hall, check, rooms, waiting rooms, etc.. An unusual feature of this room will be .the hanging platform for the orchestra, which will be suspended . from the center of .' the ceiling, allowing a, clear space for the dancers and at the same time a central wsltlon for the musicians. The Masonic temple, another building being erected under the supervision of Warriner & Norrls, who planned it, is rapidly nearing completion. The plastering is all on, on the first flaor and this floor will be ready for occupancy Jan. 8. Two evenings later the Eastern Star will give a grand ball In the new hall, this opening the building. John Szmanski, alias Jos. Dorkswoski, was arrested in Indiana Harbor by Sergeant Barker and Officer Jimmie O'Connell, for attempting to pass a forged check at the saloon of William Subotlch Beech and 137th street. The check presented, by Szmanski was for $12 and was drawn on the Citizens" Trust and Savings bank, made payable to John Szmanski. It was signed "Pipe Co." When the check was presented to Subotlch he suspected that it wa8 a forgery, never having heard of any concern known as "Pipe company." So he telephoned the Indiana Harbor po lice to come over and take a slant at the suspect. Subotlch Is husky and Sergeant Barker asked him to hold the suspect until his arrival. This was done. When arrested the prisoner gave his address as 8632 Baltimore avenue, S. Chicago. While in the Subotich place, as soon as he realized that his criminal intention was suspected, it is said he tried to destroy another bogus check he had in his possession, but was pre vented from doing so by the saloonkeeper, who took it from him before he could carry out his intention.'

Mrs. Fred McKimpson and her three children, Ralph, Bernlce and Muriel, of Grapevine street have been suffering for the past week with an attack of the grip. From the New York Tribune of recent date: "Blows up his balloon and drops in the Hudson. Frank Rodman Law, the parachute jumper who has added some thrills to aeronautics, went himself one better than ever before, when he blew up his balloon with dynamit an dropped 450 feat Into the Hud. son river," and more to the same effect. The local interest in this attaches to the fact that the feat Is to be shown in moving pictures at the Family theatre on Christmas Day. The film which is 3,000 feet long, is entitled "At the Risk of His Life," and portrays a husband and father's heroism in order to raise money for his starving wife and babies. It is different from anything ever shown In Indiana Harbor and is full of intense sensationalism, and productive of a thrill evy minute.- The first show at 1:30 and continuous performance thereafter until 10:30 o'clock.
