Of course, the next warden may have a family. But there Is not regarded as sufficient salary for Fogarty. He could make made than that amount in business for himself. However, it my be that he will stay on the job. According to the best obtainable information, there has never been any friction between Fogarty and the board or other authorities that would cause him to give up the place. His only purpose In tendering the resignation, it is said, was that he might start in the race for the nomination for mayor.

SAYS HEADACHE MEDICINE WAS FATAL

CAUSE ARREST OF STREET CAR CREW

Patron of Hammond, Whiting & East Chicago Line After Employes. People in Indiana Harbor waiting for a car to East Chicago about 8 o'clock last nipht took it for granted when the car did not appear for nearly an hour that the storm was responsible for the delay, but that was not the cause. The trouble was that the crew, composed of James Power conductor, imd F. J. Adams, motorman, had been arrested and were waiting fo. bondsrpen to pet them out. On the east-bound trip of car 6S, of which the men were in charge, Andrew Fuzy and a companion boarded the car at Forsythe avenue. They were

smoking- and decided to remain on the rear platform. The conductor asked them to step inside the car, as it was against the rules to allow passengers to stand on the platform. Mr. Fuzy refused to go Inside, and the conductor attempted to force him in. Motorman Adams came to Powers' assistance, and Fuzy .was push i inside the car. On arriving at Calumet he alighted and caught the next car back to East Chirago, where he swore out a warrant before Judge George IL Lewis - for the arrest of the street car men. As soon as the car returned to Forsythe avenue. Constable George NestAdams and Powers were taken before Judge Lewis. In the meantime their car stood idle and as the company is running on a single track through East Chicago on account of the repair work that is going on. both the main line and the Harbor branch were blocked and all traffic on the South shore came to a standstill. After the men had secured bondsmen, street car activities were resumed. The hearing will come up before Judge Lewis at 2 o'clock today.

TO STORY

Considerable surprise has been caused In Gary by rumors of trouble between Attorney Henry C. Price and hia wife, Sixth avenue and Fillmore street. An interview was printed purporting to come from Mrs. Price in which she stated that she would file suit before divorce because of cruel and human treatment accorded by her husband. Later a story was afloat that a reconciliation had been effected.

"Ia It true that you have taken steps to procure a divorce," Mrs. Price was asked over the phone today by a

Times reporter.

"I decline to say anything at this

time," was the answer.

"Then, is the story untrue that you

said that you were going to file di vorce?"

Mrs. Price gave no denial to this question and upon further questioning said that she wouldn't discuss the case

and then hung up the receiver.

Price is well known throughout the county as the result of the unsuccess

ful fight made by the County Bar as

soclation to prevent his admission to the bar. He could not be located at

his o4ce today.

TURNED

INSANE ASYLUM

After keeping out of sight several years the ghost of the Pottawatomie Indian claim to Lake Michigan bobbed up yesterday to check progress toward the construction of Chicago's outer harbor. m Not long ago a Pottawatomie Indian came to Gary and engaged an attorney to look up the title to lands at Miller beach, which he claims belongs to his father.

As usual, the merits of the claim

were set up by Joel w. Stevens. He

appeared at a meeting of the council

committee on harbors. wharves and

bridges, where there was under dls-

dusslon the proposition of paying

$300,000 for a 100 foot strip of lake

shore land between Indiana and Ohio streets for harbor purposes.

That was not the only obstacle that

arose; but it was the possibility of a that gave the aldermen most food for thought. As a result the administration's hope that the first ordinance for the north side harbor would be recom

mended Into the council at once re

ceived a setback. The committee

ferred action.

Title to Land Qnmtlos. The Tndlans took the center of

stage when some of the aldermen wanted to know what kind of title the Chicago Dock and Canal company could give to the property it is proposed to purchase. Assistant Corporation Counsel Skinner said the company

would be prepared to give a warranty

deed instead of an ordinary quitclaim

deed, but then it was suggested a guarantee policy should be furnished the city.

Stevens declared that even such a

guarantee would be worthless if the claim of his clients under ancient treaties were upheld by the courts. Mr. 8klnn" echoed this statement.

"You could recover the $300,000 from

the guarantor," he said, "as the Chicago Title and Trust Is a sound con

cern, but you are proposing to put $5,-

000,000 into this property. You couldn't

recover that on a guarantee. All you could do would be to settle with the Indians at their terms."

The Indian Harbor police station ia rapidly taking on the appearance of an insane asylum on a small scale. They already have two patients in charge there, and one or two others are under sudvetllance and may be brought In at any time. Sergeant "Billy" Hughes declares that If this thing keeps up it will only be a short time until he will feel competent to take charge of any "batty" institution in the country. The first one to be arrested was Joe Saka of 3723 Cedar street, whose wife notified the police several days ago of her husband's actions and asked that he be taken care of. Soka was brought to the station and kept under observation until yesterday, when Judge George Reiland appointed a sanity commission composed of Drs. Robert Ansley, W. L. Hughes, C. C. Robinson and George Orf to examine the man. The doctors reported that Soka was undoubtedly insane, and ordered him taken to the asylum.. He will be taken to Crown Point today and placed in the infirmary there until a place Is made for him at Loeran sport. Soka's

hallucination seems to be on the sub

ject of religion, and he will spend hours on his knees, with his hands clasped before hjm, praying. He refuses to talk to anyone, and not a word can be gotten out of him. The man is 34 years old and has a wife and three children. Toney Mruzkowskl is another one who will undergo examination as to his mental condition. Toney was brought in yesterday about 5 o'clock from the shore of the canal at Canal street. His queer actions were noticed by an E. J. & E. railroad man, who notified the police. When the latter arrived on the scene, Tony was found lying on the sand with nothing on but an undershirt. He had been in the water, and it is thought he had contemplated suicide. Domestic trouble Is supposed to be the cause. About 3 o'clock he quarreled with his wife, who, with their . three children, has been living on 137th street, and tried to attack her. She managed to get away, and he then went directly to the canal. The couple had luarreled before, and Toney left town, only return 1 n gyesterday..

Just what happened to flatten out the Kruyer boom for warden Is not known, but that something has happen

ed seems to be true. It is thought. however that the next warden will be a norhern Indiana man. Those who have been watching the matter here are at a loss to understand the meaning of the decision of Fogarty to withdraw from the race for the nomination for mayor at South Bend. 'There are some who believe he will withdraw his resignation as warden and remain in the position. Others think he will stick to his decision to retire and that he will go into business at South eBnd. The fact that the salary of the warden at the state prison is not large enough to attract men of the calibre that ought tu be attracted by uch a job. The place pays only $3,000
