These have been settle, I am sure." v "Billy has been forgotten in Gary," was his cousin's final comment. "He is not now remembered except as his heroism may help the people to make a name for their city."
It developed that instead of petition
ing the city council to, give Stlegllt
park water, which has been the re
quest of the citizens of this locality for many years, the delegation last nigl.t
sought to dispense with some surplus j
water. There is a culvert under the

Continued from Page ont) ed straight in front of the engine and was ground to pieces. His mangled remains were found 100 feet from the scene of the shocking accident and removed to Stewart's morgue where they are being held pending the inquest and funeral arrangements. The accident was witnessed by three persons, A. J. Hord, watchman. Frank Comlnsky, 23 State street, Hammond and George Strauss. According to their stories Parker did not seem to be aware of the aproaching danger as he started across the Eire tracks thinking seemingly the train was on the Monon. Those who saw the accident turned their hea'ds with horror, knowing that Parker would be Instantly killed. As yet no blame has been placed on the train crew who gave warning as he struck the crossing. The train was In charge of Engineer J. J. Foley and 'Conductor H. B. Linville. On April 10, 1910 Parker shot and killed Mary Palen. On June 7, 1910 he
was discharged by the jury on the sole
grounds that he was of an unsound mind. Later he. was proven insane and
at time has been employed as a crossing watchman on Hohman street. He
Is about 60 years old and is survived
by a brother ana sister who are now
being located.

From now on Gary will have
metropolitan rules governing the stops
of its street and Interurban cars. An
ordinance passed last night requires
cars to stop on the near side of street
crossings and the penalty for violation
of this municipal law may be a fine not
to exceed $300. Incidentally the coun

To Have Court Clerk.
Judge Wildermuth will have the as
alstahce of a city clerk for a few hours
ever day. He will be allowed $25
month for clerk services. The law nro
hibits a city of Gary's size to have a
court clerk but the statute was cir cumvented by naming a "city steno

Gary as the city court is one of th
three largest in the state and it doe

for a memorial for the newsboy. The money began promptly to come In. , Be.fore Billy died Mrs. McCabe went to Gary, and she was assured her expenses for the trip would be paid. When her cousin died she remained over for the funeral. ,' Mrs. McCabe and Billy's brother selected the casket and the committee assured them the expenses would be paid, according to her story.
.. . Mrs. McCabe says the executor of the
newsboy's estate paid the funeral expenses out of Rugh's meager savings, that his brother paid the hospital bill
.'and the surgeon has not yet received
his fee.
y HAS OT BEEX RECOMPENSED. ' Mrs. McCabe has not been recompensed for her expense, she says. She was again called to Gary recently to decide
on the form of memorial for the newsboy. She decided for a hospital. She was informed a theatrlcj.1 event in Chicago was a failure. , It was also reported that checks and gifts that were sent to Billy at th hospital were turned - over to the memorial fund. Now Mrs. McCabe says .it Is doubtful if his small avings will be sufficient to meet his just debts. ,', SAVINGS HAVE tiONE. '- It is doubtful, it is said, if anything .la now left of the estate. . 'When Mrs, McCabe appealed to the mayor of Gary to pay Billyhs debts and .expenses out of the memorial fund, she says, he replied the fund was being raised for a memorial and could not be used for anything else. Miss Ethel Smith, the 19-year-old girl whose life was saved by the operation that ended fatally for Rugh, said last night that she did not know what had become of the money contributed to the memorial fund. "I know that there was a great deal of money turned in,' she said, "but 1 'don't know what has become of it.- Mrs.
At the meeting of the Council in the East Chicago city hall last night an ordinance was passed providing an appropriation of $6,600. fo rthe construction of a sea wall to protect Aldis avenue property from destruction by the lake in times of storm. Another ordinance approprlaing 86,000 for the remodeling of the flro station at East-'Chicago, fitting up the second story as sleeptnk quarters for the men, was pasned on suspension of the rules. Still other ordnances . providing for the increasing of the police and fire departments by the addition of captains and lieutenants to the latter and chauffeurs and helpers for
both departments, were adopted. A communication was read signed by T"hn Lloyd of East Chicago asking
that a newly organized band of which he Is the director, bo allowed the use of a room In the basement of the city hall In which to practice one evening a week. This was the signal for- a number of bright sallies on the part of the oldermen and others present. It was suggested that . Monday night might be chosen as that Is council meeting night and the council and the band could vie with each other as to who could make the most noise. In this case, too, the mayyor misrht have
a button connected with his desk and whenever he wished to cut short a long-winded speech on the x part of some' kicker-he could push ths as a signal to the band to whoop it up on their horns and bass drums. Permission for the desired privilege was granted. . A delegation was on hand representing Stleglitz park. .. , "Ain't you folks got water yet?" asked a citizen who found it hard to disassociate the Idea of a need of water from Stleglitz park delegations. "We've got too much water," was the reply.

rested Nick Snolt on the charge of carrying concealed weapons and his
trial will take place before Judgre Geo.
Relland next Thursday. Snoltz, who
with his wife lives at Guthrie and
Deodar streets, Indiana Harbor, was arrested on the complaint of a woman neighbor, who heard him making
making threats against George Cuzdo-
novlc.
She notified the police station, and
the officers started out to locate him.
After visiting his home and several other places tins.iiccsafullyhey finally located Snoltz in the saloon of Paul
Poppovich, where he had arrived a few
moments before the officers. Cuzdonovic
was also In the saloon, and it Is thought
the appearance of the policemen was the nl thing that prevented serious trouble, as Sno'itz was armed with a revolver, fully loaded. Jealousy is giv

SPIKE IS INVENTED
Specie to The Times.)
Whiting. Ind., Jan". 7. Whiting has a new inventor In the person of Peter Krivoclc. who has Just been granted letters patent for an improved railway spike. The grant was made yesterday and the patentee has been notified of
his good fortune. ' While a railroad spike seems so simple a matter that Its improvement could scarcely be encompassed, the one invented by Krlvocic Is said to fasten the rails to the ties in a more secure manner than the oldfashioned device. That it seemed an Improvement to the powers that be In the Washington office is evident from the fact that they have granted the patent. It is expected by the Inventor that lie will be. able to realize quite 'a fortune from his Invention, which he believes railroads will find Indispensable and a. great saving in the, labor of resetting rails, as well as a safeguard against wrecks.
