CORN PRODUCTS" TO LOCATE
NEAR DRAINAGE CANAL
Has Been Compelled to Build One
Large Plant I'm Place of Several Small
Ones to Compete with Western Glu-
coSe Co.

A matter of considerable interest to
the people Of Hammond. and the
Fourt ward especially, is the location
of the new half million dollar sugar
refinery that is being built by the
Corn Products company, generally
known as the " glucose trust"
1t will be remembered that the West
ern Glucose company, which is locat-
ing over at Robertsdale. is the consoli-
dation OF the independent companies
which are fighting this trust.
When the word went out that the
Western Glucose company was taking
such determined steps to meet the com
petition OF the trust it was seen that
the only way to meet this competition
would be to bring the two or three
small plants together and locate q
single large plant at some convenient
point.
Today the WORD comes that the presi-
dent of the company. Edwin 7. Bed
ford. had decided to locate the plant on
the drainage canal or "a South Chicago.

EXPLOSION VICTIM RECOVERING.
Packard and Gerstrung Still Maintain
Innocence in Lake Shore Black
main-HeId for COnceaIing
Explosives.

Bertha Beahlers, who was injured in
the Aetna boarding house explosion last
week, is recovering in a Chicago hospi-
tai, although it was necessary to am
putate one of her legs.
In the meantime Charles Packard
and Fred Gerstrung. the two men in
whose room the explosion occurred, are
held in the county Jail on the charge of
concealing explosives. Packard still
maintains his innocence in connection
with the Lake Shore holdup, while
Gerstrung answers all charges with a
strict silence. The ocials, however,
have not given up hopes of soliciting
further information from them in re-
gard to their connection with attempt
ed blackmail.

caused by the overheating Of the pipes

WILL BRING
BAD WEATHER
Professor Hicks Predicts
Storm and Sleet for
November.
BLIZZARD IS ON TODAY
Hammond Gets Goodly Dose of "The
Beautiful" But Most of It
Melts on Ground.

Hammond was visited by a heavy
snow fall this morning, which, how
ever, came not unannounced, as Pro
fessor Hicks had predicted it a month
ago.
The snow may be called the first of
the season, although there have been
one or two fiurries before this month.
While considerable snow FELL the evil
dences of it were deceiving as for the
most part it melted as soon as it
touched the ground.
In his forecasts for November Rev.
Hicks says that a reactionary storm
period is central on the I'd, Sd and 4th.
The interval between the periods will
be unsettled and threatening, making a
spell of bad weather" during the clos
ing days of October and the opening
day of November
regular storm period is central on
the 9Th, extending from the 7th to the
18th BY the 9th the growing storm
conditions will have increased, so that
general cloudiness and rain will be in
progress in western sections, and dur
ing the 10th, 18th and 18th, rain, turn
ing TO sleet and snow on the western
tanks of storm areas, will progress to
the east across the country. This is
another period which promises to be
prolonged into spell of unsettled, if
not continued rainy, snowy, stormy
weather.
One of the most severe disturbances
of the month will culminate within
forty-eight hours of noon on the 18th
The barometer will drop to one of its
lowest readings for the month, thick
cloudiness and great humidity will pre-
VAIL and general storms of autunnal
rain, turning to destructive sleet. and
later into blizzardous snow and north
west gales may be expected, covering
the northern and extending for into
the central sections.
A regular storm period extends from
the 18th to the 23d, with thick, pro-
longed cloudiness, sleet and snow.
Falling barometer. higher temperature
and greatly increased intensity in
storminess will develop and pass rap
idly to the eastward about Tuesday.
the Goth. to Friday the 23d. Cold, high
winds out of the northwest will rush
in behind these storms as the high
barometer moves eastward and south
ward, displacing the storm areas
Sharp cold with frost and freezing to-
ward the north will visit most sections
from about the 22d to the 25th.
A reactionary storm period is cen
trail on the 25th, 26th and 27th. This
will insure more or less rise in tenn
perature, with decided fall of the bar
ometer. cloudiness and return of rain
and snow. The disturbances of this
period will eliminate on the 26th and
27th, by which dates storms will have
passed we'll to the east.
A regular storm period begins on the
2sth and runs at least four days into
December, being central Dec. ?.
The local association of forecasters
which consists chiefly of the dry goods
merchants. takes the same view that
Prof Hicks does and is considering
the purchase of a heavy stock of winter
clothing now.

CHILD BORN TO STARVE
IN SPITE OF DOCTORS.
There Were But Two Alternatives, One
Certain Death from Lack of Nourfsh-
ment, the other Possible Death from
Operation.


The medical profession of Indiana
Harbor and vicinity has been deeply in
terested in the case of an abnormal
child which was born at Pine Station
a few days ago.
There seemed to be something the
matter with the child from the day of
its birth. and finally doctor was called
who diagnosed the case and found that
there was no opening between the
stomach and the bowels.
A consultation was held with other
physicians in the neighborhood, and
when it was seen that the child would
slowly die of starvation unless some
thing was done for it, an operation was
decided upon.
The operation was performed, and
the chi1ds stomach was linked to the
bowels, but the shock of the operation
was too much for it and death followed
few hours afterward.
The physicians connected with the
case searched their books for a parallel
case, and found that with but one eX-
ception this is the first case of the kind
that has come to the attention of the
members of the medical fraternity.
OF course the parents were grief
stricken when they learned that an op-
Grafton would have to be performed
that would imperil the life of the child,
but they were convinced that there was
a chance should the operation succeed,
and that if the operation was not per-
formed slow starvation was GER
tainty.

Gus rooms. The largest amount OF
smoke was in the basement and on the
first floor The entire building was
vacated in less than two minutes, the
children having in the meantime passed
through the wardrobes for their wraps.
Noboey seemed to be excited, although
the children hailed the news that they
were to. be dismissed for the forenoon
with delight
It was the first time that the fire
drill had been put to practical use in
the Washington building. It had been
inaugurated long ago and the drill was
often rehearsed There was. however.
one big difference between the drill
of today and in former times. On
former occasions when the call for the
fire drill sounded, the pupils fell into
marching order, knowing that it was
merely drill Today they did not
know whether it was another drill or
march in earnest. At any rate they re-
sponded promptly TO the call to fall in
line. They We're not told that a FIRE
was supposed TO be in progress in the
basement. Nevertheless they paid heed
to the order as promptly as though
their lives depended upon obedience.
The fire department arrived in due
time expecting to find an enormous job
on their hands. Upon investigation 1t
was however found that only the pipes
had become overheated. No damage was
done with the exception that number
of the rooms had become more or less
smoke flied. The regular school work
was taken up this afternoon.
