POLICE M( Hi The Gary police are working on the mystery which came to light at Abbottsford. Wis., when a freight car loaded with rails from the Gary steet mills bound for Duluth, was discovered to be the resting place of a corpse. News of the grewsome discovery was received yesterday afternoon by Chief Martin who got a wire from Chief Olson at Abottsford. The body, which was beneath several steel rails, is described as having a scar across the right knee. Two postal cards with Amsterdam. N. T. views and bearing: the names of "Laura Roupp" and "Joseph P." were found on the body. It Is posible that the body is that of a South Jefferson street man known as "Joseph P." who was last seen in Gary on August 16. The police are working on the theory that the man may have been killed and thrown into the car. CONSULAR SERVICE TO BE WEEDED OUT (Continued from page one.) In putting admissions and promotions in the service on the basis of merit and efficiency. Except for the fact that the advent of a democratic administration was assured, this housecleaning would have been performed before March 4. As it was, these highest in authority took the view that they had better let the democrats do what they liked with the service. There have been great changes In Geo & (asc) vtmnQ

the consular service since the basis of Its reorganization was put through by Secretary Root In 1906. Appointments since that date have been on the basis of examination. The fees now go into the -treasury of the United States instead of being the basis of remuneration of the consuls. Inspections are made frequently of each consulate and efficiency records of each man are kept at the state department. When the democrats came In there was great fear among business men.

, chiefly exporters and manufacturers, that the democratic administration would tear down the structure that had been painstakingly erected during re- , publican administrations and would open the consular service to the spoilsmen. Mr. Wilson's Stand. President Wilson, however, took a positive stand on the matter and announced definitely that appointments and promotions would be by examination and on an efficiency basis. The third assistant secretary of state. Pudley Field Malone, received supervision of the service and under his directions plans are being formulated for the further improvement of the consular organization. It Is a definite and accomplished fact, according to the highest authorities, that the consular service will be maintained strictly on civil service lines and that partisan politics will not enter into it at all. For this reason those most familiar with the needs of the servlco welcome the plan of Mr. Malone to weed out the lnefflcients and retain the worthy and capable. Many of those who will bo drpoped got their appointments under the old system of political spoils. Some have grown old in the service and are no longer able physically to do the work. Others have proved themselves in different to the progress made. Still others, it is said, are naturally incompetent, the relics of the days when a consulship was a reward for political service and when the consuls were not expected to do any work. SUCCESS Fair weather, low winds and the warmth of October made Sunday an ideal one for the Inter-state white flyer shoor. f the Gary Gun Club, held at Its grounds near the Little Calumet marsh east of Broadway. LorM Men Do Well. Well-known amateurs and professionals from all over the country fired at the targets but the Lake county marksmen held their own. In the chief event of the Jay William Bills,

Although his honor can usually wing anything in the game line yesterday he could hit but four out of fifty birds. On Sunday, Oct. 26th, the Gary Gun club will have another shoot and Gary, Hammond, Hobart, Loivell and Valparaiso marksmen are expected to be on hand.

For Sale By BUSINESS ! ROMANCE UNFOLDED (Continued from page one.) to-the-minute department store. To : reach this point it waa necessary to "Junk" furniture which might have been considered good enough, but ' which in fact was not what an instltutlon the kind that K. C. Minas com- ' pany had planned, wanted. Walls were ' torn out without consideration of ex- '; pense, floors and aisles were laid out on a systematic basis, shelf-worn rtides were disposed of at give-away 1 price and room was made for new stock. The capacity .of the store was nearly doubled by the addition of a new wing, all with the idea to make the institution one complete unit. For this reason the formal opening is more than of passing moment. Jude Reiter to Make Address. Extensive preparations have been made for this great jevent. The store will be open to public inspection on this evening from 7 to 10 o'clock. After 5 o'clock all business will be sus pended in order that the final touches may be put on all displays. No merchandise will be sold during the even ing. The store is most beautifully deco- ' rated for this occasion and there will ' be a greater display of merchandise than has ever before been attempted In this vicinity. A special program has been arranged for this evening. ; Professor Barney Toung will have full charge of the music and will engage two orchestras, one to be located on the mezzanine floor and the other on the third floor. The Honorable Judge V. S. Reiter, who is president of the Chamber of Commerce, will announce the formal opening at 7:30 p. m., speaking on the development of this great business enterprise, which is nothing short of marvelous. j Began UnMntm 23 Tasrs Ago. The E. C. Minas company had its beginning in 1890, twenty-three years ago, when Mr. Edward C. Minas pur- ; chased a small stock of hardware and ; located opposite the Federal building 1 at the corner of State street and Oakley avenue. The stock was in very poor condition and invoiced for less than $1,200. The first day s sales were less than $5, but from that day on the business began to grow. The first delivery service was a wheelbarrow. I At the end of five years the business : had outgrown its quarters and a site was purchased where the present building now stands and a three-story building with fifty feet frontage was erecjted. Ten years later an additional three-story building with a. fifty feet front was added. At that time the E. j C. Minas company was Incorporated as j a general department store. From ; that time on, the business grew phenomenally and seven years later, in ! 1912, the business again outgrew its quarters and more space was necessary. Alteration Sales Increase Business. This was the beginning and the laying of the foundation for one of Indiana's greatest department stores. One of the beat designers for store equipment waa engaged, and leading stores throughout the United States were inspected so as to procure the latest and most modern equipment in order to give perfect store service. After the interior arrangements had been made, a building: architect was engaged to draw the pans to properly house the departments as designed and to remodel the present buildings to conform with the new addition, which has the appearance of one solid block and is most modern in every detail. While these alterations were being made, business continued uninterrupted, showing a large increase each month ovr the preceding year. V'nlon M-n Build Addition. To complete this wonderful buildj ing, more than a year and a half's time was consumed and nonu but union men were employed and local contractors enRaged. These men feel proud of their work and the whole Calumet region can truthfully say that it has a store in its midst that is second to none in the state for modern equipment and service which is one of the show places for out-of-town guests to 1 visit, who will be impressed with the IprogressiveneBs of this enterprising firm.

A lucky automobile accident occurred at the Wabash tracks and Hohman street yesterday when an automobile, bearing a license No 37433 Ind., crashed into speeder, its operator, Arthur Church, escaping uninjured. The auto came to a stop and after aiding in pushing the speeder oft the track continued on their journey. Man Is Hurt. Pan Pritzo of South Chicago, was painfully injured yesterday afternoon when he fell from a Whiting street car, between Roby and the Wolf river bridge, receiving a number of severe j bruises and probably internal injuries, . He was removed to Whiting where he j was attended by Dr. Laurer and later taken to a South Chicago hospital. The partlculares of the accident could not be learned. Watchful Motormen. Only the vigilance of motormen on the Green Line from East Chicago to Hammond has prevented serious accidents where Columbia avenue ends at 150th street. Corner property owned, according to signs, by the 1 Clark Co. of East Chicago, is so overgrown with scrubbery and weds that it Is impossible for the motorists to see approaching cars. The willows and weeds are uncut although a city ordinance demands the cutting of weds. Beat "Pete" Henning. By defeating "Pete" Henning and his braves atj Crown Toint yesterday afternoon, the fast North Ends of Hammond captured the championship of Lake county. A rally In the ninth stanza brought in three runs for Hammond, resulting in a score of 10 to S. The game was the last of the season for both teams and was attended by a large gathering. Hammond hit Pete's slants harder than he has been hit this season, securing fifteen well earned hits, while the Crown Pointers gathered a total of nine. Up until the ninth inning the honors belonged to the North Ends, but Thompson started the pill allying when he lammed out a three-bagger, which was followed by four more hits, netting Hammond three runs. The feature of the day was a sensational home run by Henning.. His support was not of the best, and while he fanned fourteen men Frisk only struck out five. BIG LAUGHING SHOW. The biggest laughing show seen in many a day opened at the Orpheum theater Sunday matinee. Three thousand of Hammond's show going population were kept in continuous uproar

and you begin making pictures the very hour the outfit arrives. Absolutely

No Experience Needed, No

expense, no bother

The "MANDEL-ETTE" is guaranted to be exactlv as it is described in this advertise-

Ind. yesterday. The show remains at thn Orpheum three more days, ao don't fail to see it. A three-reel feature picture, "Peril of the Past," opens the show. Thi tense dramatic film holds the audience spell-bound for forty-five minutes. Th story briefly is this: A murder is committed at a fashionable hotel in Paris in the middle of the night. An exconvict Is wrongfully accused of thai crime. The dagger is found under his bed, where it was placed by the murderer. The ex-convict, through tti aid of his charming slater, provea an alibi, and the real perpetrator of the deed is found. He attempts to escape in his automobile, but the mad chase ends in his destruction. He is hurled to death over a precpice. "He who hath lived by violence shall die by violence.' V The opening act of the bill, Patricola and Myers, prove to be the hit of ths bill. The audience called them back repeatedly, and for five minutes interrupted the rest of the show with their continuous applause. This team consists of a man and woman, mostly man, who engage In comedy singing, talkIng and acrobatic!" dancing. The latter is the feature of the act. The Musical Lyons follow this pair in their spectacular novelty "the Musical Farmyard." The curtain goes up on a very pretty barnyard scene. Ths farmer and his wife are very clever and obtain music out of everything on the farm, from the old wooden pump to the iron fence. Next on the bill is Billy Barlow, in his songs, talks and walks. This young fellow is a very clever entertainer, and especially good in his extemporaneous talks. Teddy Osborne's Pets, in their original pantomime, "A Day In Dogvllle." close the show. These -dogs and monkeys are very well trained and perform admirably in the dog village, where no one appears on the stags to direct them. , . "The Tenderfoot," Richard Carle's big musical show, comes to the Orpheum Thursday. CATEY TO GET1 GARY POLICE POST? Mr. and Mrs. Charles Hohamer last week moved to Merrillville, where Mr. Hohamer will run the Charles Catsy saloon, Mr. Catey having heard the call of the police bugle at Gary, where he will return for police duty. Mr. Catey was one of Gary's first policemen and probably knows conditions as well as any man now on the force, and should prove a good man fr the steel city's police force. Hobart News.
