ORPHANED

Following Death of Husband on Hunting Trip Mrs. Albert Jahnke Dies, Leaving Four Children to Face Life's Battle Alone. i Tragedy haB marked the nlstory of th Jahnke home in Tollenton. A little more than a month ago the father of the family was killed, presumably by his own hand, while hunting in the woods near West Gary. Yesterday the mother died, leaving five orphans. Mrs. Albert Jahnke. whose maiden name was Amelia Koepke, passe'd away yesterday after a short Illness of pneumonia. She was 32 years old at the time of her death. Before ner marriage Miss Koepke was one of tha belles of Tolleston, the Koepke family being one of the oldest settlers in the town. The shock of her husband's death is said to have had a great deal to do with hastening the end of the wtdow. Funeral arrangements haven't been completed and the last services wilt be either tomorrow or Friday. The last rites wil be conducted at the Lutheran church and interment will b in the Tolleston cemetery. The Jahnke home is In Twelfth avenue, near Roosevelt street.

He said that it would be the part of wisdom to connect these cities with the.- line already existing where there is so large a population to be reached than it would be to build a line through the sparsely settled territory to the west and south of Crown Point.

" Brown admitted that the Gary and Southern is already a paying proposition. He said that It Is one of the few interurban properties that bave paid from the very start. . He said that the road has been well constructed throughout its entire length. ' The cities of Hammond and East Chicago, said Brown, are tired of relying on the railroads to take them to Crown .Point, and would appreciate the frequent service that would , be .LETS DILL. TAKE COl'RSB. . As a result of this charge Mr. Cooli, who House members granted, had used all his power as speaker to further the measure, simply announced ne was through with the bill, and would let it take any course that the House members desired.; This was .his attitude last evening. If the House wants to pass the bill he won't attempt to stop it; if the House doesn't want to pass the bill, that will be all right.' " , ... Kvery influence of business and commercial organizations probably will be brought to bear on the House today to obtain the passage of the, measure. Those few- unweakened supporters of the bill will resist any etTort . of the opponents to break a quorum by leaving the House chamber, and will keep the bill before the House until a

JKn i?z slums' quorum has voted on it. MKtSIRE MAY FAIL. It was the general belief last night that the attitude of the Governor will change enough' of the votes to throw the tide of the " Very closely divided House against the bill and, that if tha does not occur, thera wHt-W-w -nwny members dodging' a vote that the meas ure at least will fail, for want of a con stitutional majority. PIETRO Pietro Mortlnl of Wiekey Row, East Chicago, inspired no doubt by a story published recently in on of the popular magazines, is getting a company to purchase a volcano which has been uneruptive for several centuries, but which is by no means extinct. . The hill is located somewhere off the coast of Sicily, and he wants it for the establishment of a resort for tourists. He believes " the novelty of being rocked to sleep by the heaving of the sides of a perfectly safe volcano, which is guaranteed sound, gentle and citybroke, ar.d lulled by the Inward rumblings of mother earth, would be both exciting and popular with sensation loving American tourists. Mortlnl. who came to East Chicago to start a foreign exchange business in this city,' but who after looking over the field decided there were not enough of his fellow countrymen located here, says he has influence in the Italian quarter In Chicago, where he will have no difficulty .at a11 ,n raising enough money to purchase the volcano. This he says can be bought cHeap owing to the -fact that it is useless for agriculturalpurposes. While the volcano smokes like the Inland steel mill, it has never been known to erupt for several centuries and scientists, Mr. Mortini explains, have declared it perfectly safe. The project as described by its pro moter is strikingly like the magazine story reference to which has heretofore been made, and while Mr. Mortini vouches for his sincerity' his friends are inclined to believe he has had a pipe dream, and are "kidding" him immoderately.

OF ADVERTISING Stranger Said Realty Business Must Be on the Hog, But Fred Didn't Care. Friends of Fred Gastel of Indiana Harbor are having fun with him over a remark made by a facetious stranger the other day. Mr. Gastel evolved the fine idea of advertising through the medium of a pig. He imported a man from somewhere or other who owned a trained porker which leads like a dog and eats out of your hand. Also out of the gutter or anywhere else for that matter where food may b found. The big possesses all but human intelligence, according to Gastel and the owner of the pig. On the pig was placed a blanket on which appeared the strange device, "Real Estate and Insurance, Gastel" and he has for the past few days been led up and down the . highways and by-ways of Indiana Harbor to the intense gratification of Were you born under a lucky star Oriental Astrology will tell you this and reveal many more events In your life that will help and Interest you.

negroes of Gary have committed every crime from murder to arson. While the police have been ; endeavoring to clean out the lazy blacks, the negro gamblers and dlvekeepers assert that they have a pull at the city hall and the police can't effect much. Only - a short time ago one negro saloonkeeper took a revolver away from a Gary policeman. The chief .ordered the black arrested, but. he 1 was .turned loose at the city. hall. Sine then the negro criminals have been giving the police the laugh, knowing very well that a higher authority, will see to It that they get turned free.
