Professor Tillman in an interview with The Times on this subject said
he would be glad to lend his services,

high school luhratory department
which he hopes to work out In time.
He has worked them out successfully in other cities and his ideas on tree saving were approved by the board

Indianapolis, Ind., July 16. Indica
tions are Warden Fogarty will go on the grill at prison board meeting tomorrow. L.ooks like his resignation will be accepted, disregarding withdrawal, believed here. Board will do
this because Fogarty gave out interview that he was not temperamentally fitted for warden. It is partically settled that Charles A. Edwards of Huntington be appointed if Fogarty retires. Edwards here today to see about job saya he would accept.
ERIE R. R. TOO
POOR; NO RAISE
According to J. C. Stuart, vice president in charge of operation, the Erie railroad is too poor to grant any increase in wages to engineers and train
men and therefore will not. For this
reason it withdrew from the confer
ence of eastern railways when these agreed, should the Newlands bill
amending tne israman act become a
law, to arbitrate.
Mr. 8tuart spent the night at the
Bluckston Hotel, arriving late from Milwaukee. He will leave at 7 o'clock
this morning for the East.
"It's none of the public's business why I am in Chicago or what the Erie
intends to do," he said last night.
The brass band at the carnival sought protection in the fire station and the nremen had an all-evening- conceit as a result. Seores of trees were blow down, chimneys wrecked, the power turned off, bushea uprooted and bill board destroyed by the high wind. Tha electrical display In the ehavens alarmed many. '
DINE ON FIVE POUND BASS Harry Sommers, manager of the Gary hotel, during Monday night's storm caught several large bass in Pine lake near Laporte. With Mr. Sommers were H. G. Hay, Jr., president of the Gary State bank, and Ingwald Moe. the contractor. The threa were caught in the heavy squall that came up suddenly and were it not for Mr. Bommer's skill at the paddle all three
might today be in heaven twanging golden harps and brushing up their wings. Four of the fish went to the Moe home while a five-pounder was carefully taken to the Gary hotel by Herr Sommers where it was served in state last night to the landlord and his guests, Pontus Heints, Alfred Jones, and Roy Parry. Messrs. Hay and Moe came around to the grill room to view the fish but they were allowed none of it although they piteously begged for only a crumb.

After leading, it is charged, a dual life for nearly a year, supporting one wife who was visiting in Europe and a second at Indiana Harbor, resulted in the arrest of Daniel Smith, S537 Pennsylvania avenue, Indiana Harbor, yesterday afternoon on charge of bigamy. Smith is a former constable and was arrested by Constable Julius Taussig on a complaint made In Judge Ames court at Hammond. About eight years ago, according to Taussig, Smith's first wife went to Europe and did not return until recently. During her absence gmlth
wooed another woman and they were
married. The first wife wrote her husband that she was coming back to America, unaware that Smith had
marriea again. He did not extend a very cordial Invitation for his lawful wife to return and wrote her that he did not want her to come back to this
country. -
fc-ome time elapsed and Smith and wife No. 2 were living happily at 3537
Pennsylvania avenue. Without telling her husband that she waa coming back against his wishes, Mrs. Smith sur
prised the couple last week by com
ing home. The greeting which Smith
and wife No. S were given was cold
and lar irom very cordial, smith was
then arrested and will be arraigned
before Judge Cheney of East Chicago.
The woman will also be arraigned on
a charge of immoral conduct.

Taken To Muncie.
Parents of the Muncie woman who was taken from the Hammond Hotel Monday evening, suffering from a
serious illness and later removed to St.
Margaret's hospital by the police, ar
rived in Hammond yesterday afternoon and made arrangements to take the
young girl back home. It is said that she gave her name as Mrs. Lennon and
is well known in Muncie.
It has developed that the youn,f girl is a victim of cocaine and when taken
from the hotel Monday evening, was
almost on the verge of insanity from the effects of the drug. In her com
pany was a man, claiming to be her husband, but he disappeared at the
time she was taken ill. The girl's case
is one of the most pitiful that the po
lice have ever had to deal with.

STORM DOES DAMAGE
TO GARYJPROPERTY The night of the big wind in Ireland
was recalled by George McGinnlty last
Tuesday night after supper time when a sharp blast from the lake stole his hat, sent papers and dust whirling down Broadway, and wrapped women's skirts about them. The same wind raised havoc with the 5Ioose carnival tents in Massachusetts street, blowing every last one of them down. Some of the dancers were caught in the rain with no protection but their dresses and their finery was ruined.
Through arrangements of several Gary men Riverview park, at Eist Gary, is again to become an amusement place. The young men have named their organization the Riverside Pleasure Club. 1 There will be dancing and other amusements every Wednesday and Saturday night and Sunday afternoon and evenings. The first dance will be held Saturday night. Riverview Is & natural park and one of the most attractive spots In Lake county. Those who are at the head of this amusement place Informed a representative of this
paper that no effort will be spared to make their park a pleasant place t enjoy an outing.
