Albert replied that he was going to Indiana Harbor, whereupon the stranger informed him that that was also his destination. He Invited the young foreigner for a drink and afterward engaged him in conversation for quite a while. All at once he stooped and picked up something from the floor.

RED LIGHT JURY HAS DISAGREEMENT Argument Waxes Warm in Trial of Thirteen Women. Rumors that crept out of the room where the jury that tried thirteen women of the Gary "red light" district deliberated late yesterday afternoon are to the effect that three of the Jurors almost came to blows with one of the "loud-mouthed" members of the panel. The Jury disagreed, the vote it is said being nine for not guilty and three for guilty. The case was tried In the Gary city court with Deputy Prosecutor Ralph Koss representing the state and Attor ney Clarence Bretsch as counsel for the dive denizens. The Jury was mr.de up as follows: Roy G. Parry, George McGlnnlty' A D Sphaefr palmer, L. Morris, Martin 5 r, C. Schwartz, Otto W. Dalyrmple. A. H. Bell, Harry Rosen, Nick Danculovlch, L.

Juryman Dalyrmple stated that he owned a taxtcab line which furnished transportation to the dive district but he was accepted regardless of this. Another Juryman said that he was against dives but this didn't worry any one. A city offi cial and an attorney also served on -the Jury.

F. D. Cornwell, architect, 3336 Michigan avenue, Indiana Harbor, has received an order to make plans and specifications for altercutions to a two story brick flat and store building recently purchased by the Burns-Pollock Electric and Manufacturing company.

located at the corner of Michigan and Block avenues. The improvement will cost in the neighborhood of $20,000. The plans call for a three story building covering all of the lot which, has a frontage of 25 feet on Michigan and 120 feet o" Block avenue. The basement will be .used for the manufacture of the Burns-Pollock, electric fixtures with the necessary supply and storage rooms and will, it is expected, -extend under the sidewalk, in which will be placed vault lights to light the work rooms In the day time. The two upper floors will be arranged for hotel purposes. The manufacturing branch of the business has grown to such proportions that it has out grown the present small quarters and this will give the firm one of the best equipped manufacturing shops of the kind in this section. The first floor will be used as a show room, being divided up into small rooms so that a customer can see hts fixtures as they will appear when hanging In his apartments. An office and stock room will also be located on this floor. The demand for rooms has become so great that Mr. Burns, of the company has been convinced that another hotel Is a very much needed addition to the city, and has therefore had the second and third floors arranged for hotel purposes. There will be hot and cold running water In each and every room, with clothes closet, medicine cases, and everything to make tho rooms the most home like and convenient rooms In the city. There will also be the necessary bath rooms. toilets, and linen closets. The Interior wil lprobably be finish ed In hard wood, with hard wood floors. The building will be of brlek and stone. The addition will cost about $20,000 and will be a needed Improvement to this end of the city. It Is expected to have the building read for occupancy about the first of December with forty rooms. A HAPPY It was a happy family assembled at 4325 Olcott avenue last evening, the home of Annie Newalana the little five year old girl for three daj s and nights held a prisoner without food or drink in the pantry of a vacant house a block and a half from her home. Annie's timely recovery Just in the nick of time, was the talk of all East Chicago yesterday and the home was made the gathering place of friends and neighbors of the re-united family, as well as many strangers who called to have a look at the little girl so miraculously resced from death. The little one was asleep on her bed when a Times man arrived last evening to Inquired as to her condition and to learn whatever details had been overlooked In the hurried report given out by the police yesterday. Annie, was discovered by Gus Jacobson who had taken some prospective buyers to the house in which the child was held a prisoner. As he entered the house he was aware of a plaintive wail that sounded from the rear it the dwelling. On investigating he found the wail to proceed from the pantry. He tried to open the door, but it refused to yield, the upper part having become swollen and binding so that it was necessary for him to strike the door a number of blows with his fist before It opened. When It finally yielded and was uung wide open, a little form darted by and out onto the street before the agent for the house had recovered from his astonishment. Down the street the little trembling form fled, in the direction of home. On her way she met her grief-Btricken father who was on his way home after a fruitless search of the banks of the canal. The man swept the child into his arms and shouting like a crazy man he dashed home and into the house and delivered the little one to her mother's tender embraces. A neighbor woman who happened into the city treasurers office told of the finding of the child who had been though dead or kidnaped, and word was sent at once to Chief McCormick who went to the house to learn the details. He found the little girl lying on the bed and advised th parents t. feed her very sparingly at first, as the mistake of giving her toe much after such a long period of abstinence, might end disastrously. In orde that no mistake of the kind be made, he called in Dr. Raleigh Hale to attend the child and advise her family as to her diet. It developed that both the mother and father of the missing child had visited fortune tells In an effort to un ravel the mystery of her whereabouts Teh father went to a "seer" in HamImond and the mother to one in East Chicago and although both fortune telers had the wrong dope, it Is believed that the comfort they afforded, saved the mother's reason. The Hammond fortune teller was visited day before yesterday and said Arnle was being detained by a man and would be released that evening. When this prediction failed to realization, the East Chicago fortune teller was tonsulted.

The little girl tried to open the door the wrong way and thus succeeded In fastening It, swollen as it was, In such a manner that It was Impossible to open It.
