Squdgeville. Where ther's a will ther'a a fray. Crown Point people were little aware of the fact that the city water supply and the electric light service was greatly imperiled yesterday and come within an ace of being put out of commission. As It was the north boiler room of the Northern Public Service Co., was totally wrecked, by a train joaa or ireignt cars, Decerning unmanageable as they were being backed into the siding by the eastbound local engineer. The heavy coal cars jumped tho bumper block In front of the boiler room and smashed Into the brick structure completely demolishing the west, north and part of the east walls and come within an ace of wrecking the boiler foundation and steam and water supply pipes that furnish the city with light and water. The wreckage was partly cleared away yesterday but It will be some days before the damage is repaired, which will amount to about $600 all told. Not any of the electric light company's men were in the boiler room at the time or certain fatalities would have been recorded through the falling of the walls. Tho city council members have practically decided to oil the streets by the special assessment plan this summer which is demed the more satisfactory way of making the improvement and collection of money for same. The city engineer has been ordered to prepare specifications for the work and the council will accept the petitions cf property owners on the streets where the Improvement is desired. The work will be let to the lowest bidder and the property owners will be given the usual recourse to remonstrate but it Is thought very little, if any objection will be raised to the improvement which has proven so satisfactory In the past. The special assessment plan will add considerable work to the city Officials tasks, the collections for the Improvement never having been slmillarly done before. August Neunfeldt, superintendent of the county farm la reported on the sick list. The city council has practically decided to install about two miles of water mains and a corresponding amount of sewer mains this summer. The cost of the former will be about $9,000 and will mean another slight raise in the tax levy to pay for the water main improvement.

Without listing the names or mentioning the details about diseases of women, I wish to say I am treating a good list of patients of this sort all the time and many of these patients are entirely cared, others only greatly benefited. The best part of - it all is the great number I have saved from surgical operations. A few years ago, when surgery was more fashionable than now, much damage was done to woman kind by needless operations. Many of these cases could be cured today by electrical and other conservative ' treatments, without riBk and without pain. I extend free consultation to all who are suffering from conditions of this kind and if I do not think you can be cured without a surgical operation, I will frankly tell you so. If I think my local treatments will be of any benefit to you, my charges will be reasonable and consistent with the cicum6tances of all. I do all kinds of office practice, skin, and venerial diseases,, eye, ear, nose and throat, stomach, liver and bowel troublts, etc., etc. When selecting a doctor do as you would do, if you were buying a home, viz: investigate carefully.

G. & 1. GET HURRY UP

E Star Chamber Session of Gary City Council Is Held Last Night and Ratifica tion of Interurban Grant Is the Result of Meeting. The Gary common council last night for the first time In its history held a meeting with no newspaper men present and at the session the council ratified the Gary & Interurban railway's hurry-up 44-year franchise giving ad ditional rights in twenty-five miles of streets. In doing this the board of works and the council compiled with the request of State Senator Frank N. Gavlt. president of the traction com pany, that the franchises be granted before the new state utilities commismlssion goeB into office on May 1st. After that date It was explained that the commission could revoke any franchise, thus making bond negotiations a difficult matter. None of the three Gary newspapers knew that the ratification meeting was to be held. The council met on MonMonday night and gave second reading to the franchise ratification ordinance. It develops that late that night, following the council session, three aldermen signed a call for a meeting to be held last night, but the matter was evidently kept a secret. Council members deny any secrecy. No Objection to Franchises. In aGry. however, there were no ob jections to the franchise grants, as the company must build in pans of First street. Nineteenth, Twenty-fifth and Thirty-ninth avenues within a reasonable time, the company has given fair service in the city. A bond of $5,000 Is required of the company. MORE GRAVE CHARGES MADE rcnattnae. from Par H avenue, Tolleston, a young mother in her early 20's, who died last night, is the name of the woman whose death Is under Investigation at the office of Dr. Frank W. Smith, the coroner. Rumors of a death bed confession are existent. Second Death Thin Week. The second death comes close on the heels fo that of Mrs. ames B. Painter, 36, who died on Wednesday night. Dr. Israel Millstone of the Gary health board, who yesterday was arrested on the charge of performing a criminal operation on Mrs. Painter, denies the charges and of even ever knowing the woman, Dr. Millstone has retained Attorneys Matthews and Sharavsky to defend him. An Interesting court battle is promised. Rumors that If any doctor is convicted that disclosures will be made involving other Gary doctors are afloat. It : said that Dr. Smith is working on several illegal cpr3tlon cases whicr will brill? forth shocking developments. GARY BONIFACE FOLLOWED CHAP And Had Him Clapped in Illinois Bastile for 40 Days and Nights. (Special to Tub Times.) Waukegan, 111., April 12. Hassen Godder, a Turk, was sentenced to serve forty days In the county bastile Thurs day for obtaining food with the intent to defraud the Innkeeper. A Gary inn-keeper followed Godder to Waukegan and asked for a warrant He claims that Godder defaulted him out of approximately $38.00. Two Waukegan residents claim that he skipped this city a year ago owing them approximately $50. Chief Tyrrell reports that Inn keepers of Gary. South Chicago and Waukegan have ben de faulted out of $216 by Godder. "He Is a professional embezzler" said Tyrrell to Judge Taylor. "Give him the limit. We caught him In the act of borrowing money from Amerl cans. He did not intend to pay back the money, but has completed plans to skip from the city." GREAT PROGRESS TO BE SEEN I, I, (Continued from Fata 6n) 900 feet across from these docks and 900 feet around the forfts. The East Chicago company Is building several hundred feet of dock around the Lake George turning basin and the City of Hammond is now asked to build 1,023 feet of city dock at the stub end of the canal near Calumet avenue, ex tended. The entire northeast and west branches of the Indiana Harbor canal will be open for navigation by 1914. GOVERNMENT BUSY. 6. ThS . United States government has given the Indiana Harbor project its unqualified endorsement and . has appropriated $225,000 as the initial appropriation of $1,333,000 which has been approved by United States engineer George A. Zlnn. These are the tremendous strides

FRA CH S

that have been taken to make the cities of North township the greatest lake ports on the south end of Lake Michigan. It is this activity that has located most of the Industries that have located in North township recently.

An enormous sand sucker Is busy digging out a large turning basin in Lake George abutting on the canal to the north of the site of the Gogebic Iron Company. "Open to navigation by 1914," Is the slogan of the cities of Indiana Harbor, East Chicago, Hammond and Whiting which will all be benefited by the great project. Ships are already utilizing the canal, of course, but the canal will be available for use by all kinds of lake craft by the summer of 1914. This event will be celebrated by the cities or North township in a fitting and appropriate manner. A manner that will call the attention of the entire country to the fact that this region has unexcelled shipping facilities. EY CLEARS A NICE SI Attorney Clarence Bretsch last night sold two Gary lots for $15,000 cash for which he paid $1,926 In 1907.

Jurkanln deposited $20 book was in the man's pocket, showing$80 to his credit at this Institution, and by means of. which Identification was reached. The fact that he deposited money does away with the idea that Jurkanln committed suicide and as It was so close to pay day it is thought that he was robbed and thrown into the river, as thero was no money in his possession when found. Jurkanln was a member of the First Slavish Catholic Union and has a brother and sister in this city, being also a relative of George Fedorka.' -To the relatives the affair Is a great mystery, and also a great blow.
