A small army of commission agents

contract for one of the worthless lots.
A Lake County Times correspondent
by mingling with one of the crowds
that were being escorted around the
grounds learned much in regard to the
method used to deceive victims.
One or two members of the party
were insistent in demanding to know
the exact location Of the city of Gary
and were told that it lay both to the
east and to the south of New Chicago

sw1NpLER RAISES MONEY ORDERS.
xxro,E. IN Crude Way and May be
Detected Before He Reaches Lake
County.

Merchants. and especially jewelers.,
are warned against a swindler who IS
visiting this section OF the country
working his game upon the unsuspect-
ing public. He is a money order raiser
and his work is easily detected IL one
stops a minute to think and look over
the order which he Will present after
making small purchases.
His plan is this. He visits mostly
iewelrv stores and after making small
purchases presents money order rails
ed from $50 to $50 by writing words
or figures on the order. He does his
work at night after the postoffice is
closed and always states that owing
TO the fact that the Office is closed
he was unable to cash the order there.
II YOU fail to notice the coupon on the
order YOU will be swindled. On this
coupon is stated that the order is not
good for sum larger than indicated
thereon in printed figures. His work
is crude and easily detected.
He uses the names Of James Hart.
Thomas Ward. James Smith. John Ken
nedy and others. He is described as a
man SIS or so years old, hve feet ten
inches in height. gray hair, smooth
face. slightly deaf, wears working
clothes. black slouch hat and has the
appearance and his talk indicates that
he is a railroad man or telegraph line

UNCLE SAM SQUARES
ACCOUNTS WITH WHITING.
Capt. Darrah, U. :. a. Sends One Dollar
Conscience Money for Repairs to
Village Water Wagon.


If Diogenes had hunted around East
Chicago while the soldiers were going
through a few weeks ago, he might
have found an honest man unless his
lantern had been filled with the tainted
oil
Last night a communication was re-
ceived by the East Chicago city council
from Captain Thomas w. Darrah of the
27th L. S. Infantry together with a one
dollar bill.
BY way of explanation for the en-
closure Captain Darrah said that while
his regiment was in East Chicago he
personally borrowed the city's water
wagon for the purpose of carrying
water to the soldiers in camp. In some
manner the doubletree was broken but
the matter was soon forgotten and the
soliers moved further south.
The captain said that the matter
had borne on his mind ever since and
he was afraid that the working men
would be held responsible for the dam
age. So he sent the dollar to the coun-
ell for the purpose of making the ne
cessary repairs. The question of what
to do with the dollar then came up for
discussion and for several moments
the valuable time Of the city dads"
was used in the debate regarding the
position of one plunk.
Finally after it hard been suggested
that il be used TO buy drinks for the
members of the council or cigars for all
of the city officials. II was turned over
to the man who takes care or the
water wagons for the purpose OF max
ing future repairs.

THE FIRST VOTERS.

About 20 per cent OF the voters at
each presidential election are first
voters. What vast responsibility
there rests upon the young men OF the
country. The balance Of power Is in
their hands. How important that they
should begin right and how important
that campaign managers should look
carefully after these first voters This

INDEPENDENT COMPANIES
Control Half the steel Output of the
United States.

A good many people have the idea
that the so-calIed steel trust has the
steel trade of the country completely
concerned. Tho United States Steel cor
poration comes nearer controlling the
commodity in which ii deals than any
other industrial organization in the
United States. Yet nearly half of the
steel manufactured OF the United States
is carried on by independent concerns.
In the year 1905 the percentage of
production of the United States Steel
corporation and its competitors was as

In order that the questioner might
be thoroughly satisfied the hustling
swindler led the party through sIoughs
and stump land and upon reaching the
river the agent proudly pointed to the
woods on top of the bluff across the
river and said, There is Gary" The
poor. ignorant dupes promptly bought
lot.
There would have been an outpour-
ing Of indignation if the victim had
known that the land he was buying lay
on one side of an inaccessible marsh
three miles wide. while Gary lay on
the other side and was nine miles away
by the nearest wagon road.
Whenever one of the crowd becomes
suspicious he is not allowed to speak
except to the agent. However. one of
the crowd met the correspondent of the
Times and when correctly informed of
the distance to Gary he wildly sought
his friends and informed them of the
fact that they were being deceived.
They did not buy.
Upon hearing of a vast enterprise
vkich was already under way the crowd
finally located it and found a very ex-
cItable little man who was busy MAX
ing bricks of sand and cement, Tho
factory was in the center of an en-
closure of saplings and on top of a
barren sand dune. When the cement
blocks were touched they would crum-
bio although the inventor said that
they were to be used 10 build the new
city of Gary.
The land agents claim that next sun
day will be the last day that free fares
will be given. as the greater portion
west half of section 10 has been sold
History of SwindIing Concern.
The history OF the land company that
has been carrying on this nefarious
business for some time IS as as fol-
\ lows:
/ During tho stock yards boom at East
ToHeston in 1892 John Trier and 9TH
/ ers became interested in land at Liver
j pool and after putting in sidewalks and
stalking OF the streets they sold large
number Of lots. There was not house
built ana the side walks We're finally
carried or by the farmers or foated
away at high water in the spring
/ In 1895 Trier and others opened up
Liverpool Heights in the southwest
quarter of section 1e and later on re
named the place Dauphin Springs and
Z OhGNCQ Tic entire west A&4A OF the same,
section.
In 1897 the same people again chang
cd the name of the place to New Chi
cage but they did not put the pat on
record until 1901. This time they is
sued circulars and letters in regard
to New Chicago in which it was stat
ed that three factories. the American
Electrical Vehicle company, the Great
Western Brewing company and the
National Carbon company had been
built and illustrations showed the fac
tories in operation.
John kress Secures Judgment.
About that time John Kress. now of
II South Clark street. Chicago. took
a contract TO build a large brick fac

seven or eight hundred dollars out OF
