PROPOSED INLAND HARBOR.

western gateway of the Hoosier State.
The industrial and agricultural resources
of Indiana will be linked with the ship
ping trade Of the lakes. Incidentally
some people believe that it will eventu-
ally divert considerable t0affic from Chi
cagO.
1t is intended to deepen Wolf river,
Wolf lake, Lake George and the Calumet
river, and connect them by a system of
canals. The route agreed upon is from
Lake Michigan south and west via the
Wolf river one mile to Wolf lake, which is
two miles in length, thence south and east
one mile to Lake George, the length Of
which is one and one-half miles, thence
in an eastern direction two miles to Il
point east of East Chicago. A canal from
this point south to the Calumet completes
the proposed route. The total length
would be seven and one-half miles. The
right Of way has been secured, surveys
made and plats recorded. Swinging
bridges will be built, except at the mouth
Of Wolf lake. The width of the canal at
the entrance to Lake Michigan will be
600 feet
This route gives the advantage of two
natural land-locked basins. Wolf lake
is 1000 feet wide at the center line. It's
present depth is from three to seven feet.
The projectors of the work say that
shippers paradise will be completed with
in two years, with total dockage Of sin
teen miles and superior transportation
facilities

Chicago and New York capitalists have
organized to construct great inland har-
Dor in the heart Of the Calumet region.
The expenditure Of private capital will be
$6O00,00O. Hammond and East Chicago
have assured prompt cooperation, and
Uncle Sam is expected to lend hand to
the project. The harbor will be adapted
to the deepest draught navigation.
The enterprise will give employment to

The Owl-Car Passengers Finally
Found Out.
He seemed painfully conscious of the
1udicrous figure he cut as he burst
through the wildly Tapping curtains Of
north-bound, all-night car and
scraped himself into a seat which had
been neglected by the other occupants
on account of the sea of moisture which
it contained. His face was belligerent-
ly red and his widely eyes, an
ticipating with maniacal vigilance any
tendency to laughter which his APP
pearance might provoke, blazed forth
challenge to the entire car and success
fully dispelled the rising spirit of
jocundity.
The night was the most tempestu-
Gus of the present season, and in order
to escape the gusts of wind and water
that assailed the car from every direc-
ton some of the 'owls" had gathered
in the aisle, while others had perched
upon the backs of seats, and some had
opened up their umbrellas. The con-
ductor, with an air of intrepidity born
of familiarity with situations of the
kind, passed to and fro among the pas
sengers collecting nickels. He was an
ideal ''owl' conductor, bristling with
a sense Of his Importance, and osten-
tatiously Indifferent to the comfort and
convenience of his guests.
"Ez ish leemish ghar?" asked the
late wild-eyed arrival as the despot
jolted past.
The unintelligible gibberish met with
no response Another block was passed
before the street car magnate came for
ward.
''Ez ish leemish gharY was repeated
somewhat petulantly by the Swede-
for he was now discovered.
Everyone but the autocrat seemed
buried in an effort to translate the jar
gon, and some even ventured so far
as to turn an inquiring eye upon the
speaker. But the glances were quickly
withdrawn, for the glitter OF inn
placable hostility in those wild eyes
had become intensified. Several more
blocks elapsed.
''Ez ish flemish ghar?"
And this time the potentate had
stopped close by to take fare.
"What?" snarled the latter, with
scornful information.

For a moment there was reflective
pause-his majesty was thinking.

A BLooDTH1RsTY DUTcHMAN
Seeks His Landlady's Gore and Is
Arrested fer Drunkenness

A policeman was called to the lodging
house at 1241s South Spring street last
night to quell a disturbance. On ar
irving there he found Dutchman, who
goes by the name Of Fritz and is en-
ployed to do odd jobs. making things
lively for the landlady. Fritz started
on one of his periodical protracted sprees
early last week. By Saturday night he
had reached climax in the acquisition
of his jag.
He came out to the kitchen where the
landlady was at work and when she
refused to admit him kicked the door
open. When she tried to shut the door
he stuck his foot in 1t. Then he decided
that he would like to kill her just for
fun, and frightened the woman almost
into Mysteries by telling her of his
bloody intentions. Someone in the
house telephoned for an officer and his
timely arrival prevented the blood
thirsty Dutchman from actually carry
ing out his threat. Fritz was locked up
on charge of drunkenness. He is said
to he a graduate of the Highlands in
sane asylum.

QUEER REQuISITIONS
r. H. Poindexter was then called. He
is an expert accountant, who has been
examining the acquisitions of the school
department for the time that the pres
ent board has been in ONCE. He stated
that he had filed a report Of what he had
found from careful exam1 ation Of
the records. He had simply looked into
the matter of the purchase Of supplies.
and examined the bills and acquisitions.
On nearly all Of the bills the requisi-
lions were attached. but there were
few for small amounts on which there
were no acquisitions. He identified the
report which was shown him as the re-
port he had made. This report was
marked by President Mathis. The cross
examination of the witness was very
brief, and brought out no new facts.
An examination Of the report made b.
Mr.. Poindexter revealed the fact that
during the first six months the present
board had been In Office nearly all the
acquisitions for supplies had been signed
by Webb alone. or by Webb and Adams.
Conrey. the third member Of the commit
tee. had had little to do with the pur-
chase of supplies or the ordering Of them
His name appears on about twenty
per cent of the acquisitions. Since the
present system Of contracts has been in
vogue Mr.. Conrey has insisted upon
scrutinizing more Of the acquisitions,
and his name appears upon a greater
number than before, when Webb and
his tool, Adams, had things their own
way.
PROSECUTION CLOSES
With the conclusion Of Mr.. Poindex-
ter's testimony the case of the prosecu-
ton closed. Mr.. Gibbon stated that he
had made every possible effort to secure
the attendance of Frank Savage. the
money lender. as a witness, but that all
his efforts had failed. It was suggested
that both sides try to secure his attend
ance, and it was agreed that Messrs.
Gibbon and Meserve make joint effort
to get him to appear.
Mr.. Gibbon stated that important bust
ness demanded his attention next week.
and that if he was not present. the pros
ecution would be looked after by Hon.
Henry T. Gage. He made the statement
at that time so that the board would un-
derstand why Mr.. Gage appeared in
event of his absence. Mr.. Meserve said
that the defense would be ready to pro-
coed monday, to which the board ad-
journed.
After the adjournment it was learned
that Drummond. who was mentioned by
the witness Parker had stated to a
friend that Webb had told him that he
intended to put Parker in the janitor's
department of the high school. Drum
mond would not appear as witness, be-
cause of his friendship for Webb.

TO y TRY PROF. RoHDE
"BRoTHER" EIT16AN's :CoNaRE-
CATION 70 BE THE JURY .
Don't Like the Statement That Their
Former Pastor Held Him Up.
Hot Time In Prospect

Prof. Charles J. Rohde, teacher OF
calisthenics in the public schools. who
was held up by ex-Director Adams
supposedly for the benefit of Webb. ana
who swore that he paid Adams $50 at
one time and $40 at another, Is to be
placed on trial himself. His examina-
ton will not be before the board OF edu-
cation, for he has committed no crime
there, in fact it will not be crime that
will be Investigated. The trial IN
which he win be the defendant will take
place in the church until recently pre-
sided over by the departed brother
Pitman. It may be styled the side
show to the circus that is now perform
ing nightly in the council chamber.
1t will be remembered that when Prof
Rohde was on the witness stand, pefore
the board Of education. after relating
how ne had been held UP by Adams, ne
was asked whether he did not think 1t
was wrong to pay money for job. He
replied that he did not consider 1t ex-
actly right, but he did not know what
to do as he had been held up by another
person two years ago. He was at once
asked what he had done then and re-
piled: "Well, Joined the church"
Later he stated that Brother" Pitman
then a member Of the board, had done
the hold-up act with him.
Last night. as prominent member
Of the League for Better City Govern
ment was coming UP town in a car, he
sat near two ladies who were discussing
the school board scandal. One of them
stated to the other in tone that could
be heard all over the car that she was
a member of Pitman's church and that
the members did not like what Rohde
had sworn to on the stand. She told
her friend that charges had been pre-
ferred against Rohde and that the trial
would take place in the church Tuesday
evening. That was all she would say
about the matter.
If Pitman was in the city now and
the trial Is to take place as the member
of his flock has stated he would find q
golden opportunity to lift the church
out Of debt by charging, say 50 cents
admission, for 1t is almost certain that
the proceedings will be worth hearing.
