The city council met in special session last evening and passed a resolution calling for bids on a new eightinch well at the water works plant. The council will meet on the 13th of May to open and consider proposals for the work. No other business of

importance was transacted at lust evening's sesison of the city fathers. It is said that Ben Hayes has sold the Will Steeb property on South Main street, comprising about 1H acres of land unimproved, to Miss Charlton, the consideration being in the neighborhood of $1,200. The piece of land in that vicinity has steadily Increased in value, $800 - an acre being the record price paid for acreage in the city limits. It is said Miss Charlton purchased the land for relatives who will make their home in "Crown Point and that many improvements will be made thereon in the near future. Louis "W.

the oil and automobile business. Steps will be taken by the public safety committee of the city council to guard against accidents at the corner of Main and Clark streets to pedestrians or automobllists. The corner Is especially dangerous owing to the narrowness of Clark street, and several near serious accidents have occurred near that locality, it being impossible to see an approaching auto from the east until it is in danger distance. Some method will be taken to warn pedestrians and also compel the automobile drivers to go Blow at this corner in order to avoid accidents. The Junior class reception and banquet to the senior class of the Crown Point high school will occur this evening at the Methodist church assembly room. This is one of the first functions of the commencement exercises

and a most enjoyable time Is reported by those present at the affair.

John. Foss and family have moved into their new home on Clark street, making the change yesterday. Misses Bessie Rose and Bessie Raasch are visiting fn Chicago today. It is rumored that Dr. Harry Lawi will locate in Lafayette, Ind., about the first of June, to accept a position in the principal hospital of that city. Mr. and Mrs. George Let have moved Into the Oeisen flat on Court street. Marshal Piatt has his weather eye open for automobile and motorcycle speeders and promises a bunch of trouble for those caught violating the speed laws.

Officers went to the road house where they found young Murphy stretched out on the floor. They also secured possession of the pistol with its five empty cartridges. TO REVOKE LICENSE. Why Murphy, who is a man of large build, made no attempt to hinder the man and woman after the shooting, and why the chauffeur was so eager to assist In the getaway is being looked into by the police. Chief Martin today said that he would take steps to have Murphy's sa

Indiana Fleming has had some lively fights. Sometimes he won and sometimes he lost, bift In either case he was a game fighter. Tears ago he led a fight to wipe out the blanket remonstrance feature of the Moore remonstrance law, and the fight he made in the senate was a memorable one. He lost, but he kept right on trying to amend the liquor laws so as to make, as he believed, more fair and liberal. He was interested in the brewing business, and made a study of the liq

uor business from that angle as well as from every other side, and there is no man "in Indiana better posted on liquor laws and the results obtained under the various laws than he. He was one of the organizers of the Indiana Brewers' association, and was Its president for several years. As such he led the fights that were made for reforming the liquor laws of the state. When the local option question bobbed into politics a few years ago he was

soon in the thick of the fight. He believed in fair laws.' Because he took this position he encountered the opposition of Crawford Fairbanks, the Terre Haute brewer and democratic politician, and a few other brewers, who wanted the laws made so as to be entirely In favor of the brewer and the saloonkeeper. , Fleming recognised the fact that the public had rights that had to be taken into consideration, and he fought for those rights. Then when the democrats got control of the legislature Fleming was the man that engineered the fight to bring about reforms, in the liquor laws, but he again stood for a fair law. The present Proctor regulation law and the present local option law are the result, and the regulation law Is regarded generally as one of the best liquor

manner. This record is worth something to Fleming. In politics, too, Fleming has had a fight all along the line. He has always been one of the best organizers

ana best politicians In the state. His

tireless energy has helped him to many a fight. He never quits till fight is over.

Several years ago he wanted to be elected democratic state chairman and he would have won it had It not been that John W. Kern stepped In and. without real cause, according to Fleming's friends, brought about his defeat.

This caused a coldness between the

two men which lasted for years, but that is said to haye been wiped out In

recent years. Fleming never was a

machine politician in state affairs. In fact, he opposed the machine moat of

the time. He was one of the most

ardent boosters of Thomas R. Marshall

when the latter. ran for governor. In fact, he was one of the discoverers of Marshall. And when Marshall started after the presidency Fleming was right

behind him boosting him for the place.

Last year he was one of the good

friends and supporters of William P. O'Neill of Mlshawaka, when the latter

entered the race for the nomination for lieutenant governor, and helped to put him over.

When Fleming goes to New York to

assume the management of the $33,000,000 corporation, as has been reported, he will have to resign as state senator. This will leave a bin- hole in

the senate. If a special session of the

legislature is called between now and

the 1914 election a special election would hav to be held in Allen and Adams counties to fill the vacancy, but If there is no special session his suc-

speaking men continue to grow at the association Institute. Last evening two more of these men enrolled. Those who started last fall have left the city in some cases, but their places have been filled in every instance. Mrs. Clara Todd, who has done such splendid work for these men during the past year, haa classes five nights each week and every afternoon except Saturday for them. During the year, from September until the middle of March, Joseph C. Tracey also taught three nights each week. Mr. Tracey has been obliged to give up his work with the institute temporarily owing to his promotion to the assistant postmastershlp here. However, he will be back another year. Mr. Tracey is a fine teacher and the

men-in his classes think the world of him. As the T. M. C. A. grows older

here and as the men of foreign birth

come to know more and mora of Its work the number who will enroll for work in the educational department

will continue to grow. It has not been

an easy matter to get these men over

the notion that the Y. M. C. A. building is not for their use, but the Ic is

broken in good shape now. What these men need is some one who knows their language and their needs to take a little interest in their best welfare by directing them to the places in Gary

where they can get the help they need,

This Is a work that every well wishet

of Gary should help perform. The matron of the dormitory for wo

men at the University of Wisconsin has Just issued an edict against the young university women going upon

the streets In their bare heads. This direct prohibition of a custom that is rather aged and infirm has met with

favorable comment everywhere. Many

social workers see in it the beginning of reforms in women's dress that mere man will welcome and which will

greatly add to the attractiveness of the women themselves. This promenading the streets bareheaded is Just as bad for women as it would be for men. It would be ridiculous for men; it is silly in women. John W. Peterson, who left the Y.

M. C A school last January to visit his home in Sweden, has returned to Gary The first night he struck town he came to the Y. M. C. A. institute to enroll for work again. Mr. Peterson says the work here is Just whate needs and that he Intend to stick to it for a couple of more years at least. He is now a draftsman in the coke plant.

Says Samuel Gompers: "While the public schools snd the colleges aim only at teaching professions, the greatest need of America. educationally. Is the improvement of industrial intelligence and working efficiency of the American youth. We need an educational' uplift for the work of the boy who will work with his hands, and we not only need to give an educational uplift to the craftsmanship, but the school needs the help of the workman, and his better work Is education. We should realize better the Interdependence between our common education and our frommon industries. This can be effected only by a system of industrial schools, differenti

ated from the manual training schools, which shall actually train workmen for the trades and at the same time give them a broader mental culture."

;ing to Judge Willis Brown of the parental court of Gary, Ind. "It is the most antiquated, vicious .specimen of its type," said Judge Brown. He said also that the "mollycoddling system of Juvenile courts where Judges pour out sentimental advice that is not followed" is responsible for the-Increase . in Juvenile delinquency. Judge Brown has drawn two bills to be introduced in congress this week providing for a radical change in the Washington court. Some amusement was caused in Gary

by the story about "Judge" Brown.

Brown was no more a Judge In Gary than he was chief garbage inspector.

There is no parental court in Gary.

The "Jedge" blew into Gary a couple j of years ago and bunkoed some of the j members of the school board into let- j

ting h-im be "assistant superintendent of schools, morals and the parental farm." He then went on a lecture tour posing as parental "Judge." Later he organised a brass band among the boys of "Boyville" and several business men

went on the $1,800 notes for the instruments. Suddenly the school board dropped the "Jedge." and some tired , bill collectors would like to have his

present address.

There is a clear road ahead In the Gary-Hobart traction muddle. The threatened war between the Gary and Tnterurban and the Gary, Hobart and Eastern Traction company and the possible loss fo investors in the lat

ter corporation have been averted. Within a short time Hobart will have a resumption of traction service with Gary, which means connections with

all local points touched by interurbans entering Gary.
