Bailey Tells Story. Bailey's story is that he had been drinking gin all day and that, securing a rifle, he set out for Mrs. Fair's home. Becoming lost in the woods near Twenty-first street he saw the light in the railroad tower and the operator working at the key. Taking aim at the figure in the window Bailey fired and wounded Cullison. "The devil was in me and I did not know what I was doing," the black told the chief. - Bailey then went to Mrs. Fair's house, where he tried to make her elope with him. She refused and he then threw her to the floor and, pointing the rifle at her forehead, fired point blank. Later on his way from the scene of the murder Bailey met Emmanual Fair, a highly paid employe at the sheet and tin plate mills, who told him that he heard that his wife had been murdered. Bailey put up at the home of a negro woman for the night and the next morning was captured by the police. Work on Other Cases.

ASK BLANKET

CONTRACT FOR ( A. G. Lundqulst of Indiana Harbor, who was on the committee which went to Washington last fall in the interests of the harbor improvement, la in receipt of a letter from Congressman Crumpacker in which the writer states that when the Harbor appropriation bill reaches the senate, an amendment is to. be introduced asking that the contract for the improvement covered by the entire appropriation of $1,333,000 be let to one firm. This does not mean that the entire sum is to be expended at once, but that one firm will get a blanket contract to do all the work, regardless of when the money will be available. This is for the purpose of saving the government much unnecessary expensa In the matter of advertising, etc. Mr. Crumpacker says in his letter that when it is time for the bill to be presented to the senate he will arrange wlth Senator. Kern or Shlvely to take care of this amendment. As the matter now stands work sufficient to be covered by the appropriations made from year to year would be contracted for as the appropriations are made, but this process would entall much unnecessary expense that could be better applied on the work itself. Two hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars is .the sum to be expended this year. For the past six years there has never been a session of congress at which something has not been provided for work or maintenance of the canal. QUARTER MILLION TIED UP (Continued f Pass l. went home disappointed, because the hands of the county commissioners are now tied to make these improvements, for lacli of funds. Last year the county council held two special meetings and in addition to receiving their annual salary of twenty dollars voted themselves a per diem of five dollars. While no man in hake raised any objection to this, the state board of accountants, refused to O. K. the bills when they came along last year. Then the present General Assembly was relied on to come to the! relief of the county councilrnn, but the bill that was Introduced is apparently doomed" to failure, unless it can be revived and pushed through. No Salary Boost la Sljcat. The proposed bill provided that in counties of thirty-five thousand population or under the annual allowance of the councilmen should be $20; for counties with a population between 35,000 and 75,000, $30, and for counties having a population over 75,000 in which class Lake would be figured, an annual salary of $40. The committee into whose hands this bill was placed voted eight to three however for an Indefinite postponement of the bill, which means that it is killed. Unless the bill made special provision that the councilmen should hold more regular meetings or be paid for attending special meetings, they could refuse to hold special meetings even on a forty dollars annual allowance. Just as they can refuse now to hold special meetings on half that amount. Those who are upholding tne Lake County councilmen in their strike, say that they would not be unreasonable if an increase in salary is granted. TAXPAYERS AKE HELPLESS. Those who disaoprove of the couricil's stubborn attitude say that the taxpayers of Lake County are made to suffer, because the council has a grievance against the legislature and the state board accountants. The members of the county council are: Albert Foster, Lowell, President; William E. Bader, Whiting. Vice President; Lew Pattee, Lowell; Joseph Thiel, St. John; C. L. Kirk, East Chicago; J. A.

Another disturbance Incidental to the strike at the chemical works took place yesterday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock at 151st street and Melville avenue in East Chicago. A crowd of about two hundred and fifty men composed of strikers were congregated on the corners when Geo. Balovich and Mike Barkovich started a disturbance, it is said, and the police were summoned. Sergeant Welfenbach and his automobile squad were soon on the ground and placed the two under arrest. Paul VorachTand John. Horwat attempted to take the prisoners away from the officers and they too were Loaded into the patrol.

COMITY COUIICIL LE1BERS SCORED

- The action of the county council In not meeting yesterday has been the cause of much disappointment and considerable Indignation in the Twin Cities. While every one who spoke of the matter sympathized with the councilmen for the position they were placed in they did not approve of the attitude the county officials took in "going on strike." It seemed to be the consensus ' of opinion of the business men here that while it was injust to expect men to give their time and expenses for the transaction of the county's business, without any reimburse ment, at the same time they sought the office' and should not permit the coun ty's interests to suffer because such conditions prevail. One business man expressed himself as thinking it was very childish for the officials to return to their homes without accomplishing anything when they had already gone to the expense of a trip to the county seat and had lost almost as much time as- if they had finished the work they were expected to do. There 'are a number of men in the Twin Cities who would gladly have borne the expense of salaries and incidentals of the whole council. If that could be legally done, rather than have had their leave yesterday' without having made the appropriation for the 141st and 161st street bridges. ; The citizens here hope that the members of the council will reconsider their action of yesterday and assemble in the near future to put through the necessary business that is so vital to the welfare of the entire county. ,aw Jt. - y the city of not morethan $300. Some, county auditors (in the smaller counties) have received nothing by reason of this statute. For making road lists and also for certain work in connection with assessors' books, the auditor receives compensation. In some counties one or the other of these yielded nothing to the auditor during the last year, In others it ran to $400 or $500. The bill is intended 4o abolish all payments except the highway fees, and compensation from the cities.

TO FREEZE OUT HIS TENANT Martin Stampar, a saloonkeeper and a landlord on the side got into trouble In the Gary police court this morning when Judge Wildermuth' fined him $25 and costs for assault and battery. From the story told Stampar went to the home of Ernest Bright, Seventeenth avenue and Connecticut street, to colect over due rent. Bright hasn't been working lately and couldn't pay. Testimony brought out Into court was to the effect that Stampar then removed all the windows in the house. 'What did you do that for?" asked Judge Wildermuth. "Well those people didn't have any coal in the house and I thought that if I took away the windows they would freeze and then they would have to move out. It was at this Juncture that the Judge assessed a fine. Lose Interest in Bill. There was no meeting of the Gary Bar association last night and Judging from the few members that trooped up to the Commercial club the steel city legal lights have lost interest in their proposed Gary superior court bill. Secretary W. F. Hodges of the association said that the association may meet next Tuesday night to hear the report of the court commitee. Happy Family K SimppeiF j
