Although it is over a week until
the Fourth, the police are already
hearing numerous complaints in
regard to the injudicious use of fire.
works
The dangerous cap pistol and the
blank cartridge revolver that is re-
sponsible for more Fourth of July
accidents than any other of the
dangeros noise makers, have al
ready made their appearance much
to the sorrow of the man with the
shying horse and the nervous old
lady on the street.
The police have determined to
put stop to the nuisance until the
Fourth and have as authority for
this action the following section
of the laws of Indiana.
TOY PISTOLS 451.-It

or other device for the purpose of
exploding caps or waters containing
Eliminates or other explosive COM

pany or corporation so manufact-
uring. selling or offering to sell or
give away any such toy pistol or
other devices shall be deemed guilty
of a misdemeanor, and, on convic-
ton, shall be fined not less than ten
dollars or more than fifty dollars or

FRED CARTER is REMEMBERED.

The South Chicago people, ac-
cording to the South Chicago Calu-
met, have taken notice of their
former townsman Fred Carter now
OF this city, who is making the race
for sheriff of Lake county on the
democratic ticket. Carter was
formerly a South Chicago resident
and was engaged there as a railroad
engineer. After the strike he went
into the oil business and later opened
his livery business here. The chief
regret of his South Chicago friends
during his campaign is that they
cannot come TO this county to vote
for him.

Queer Freak of Time.

If Tom Mccoy gets a job on the
prison farm, at Michigan City, as
he is reported to be in hopes Of he
will have for his boss Alfred Arm
strong, who formerly lived on the
Mccoy farms in Hanging Grove
township, but who has had charge
of the prison farm for quite a num-
ber of years. The whirligig of time
brings out some queer results, some
times.

Unusual Experience

Mrs. Landon's experience was
very unusual. After leaving her
daughter she went into various de-
partments of the store attending to
her shopping when suddenly she
was taken deathly sick and tainted.
She was taken to a hospital but
there being nothing on her person
to identify her there was no way to
notify her family.
Mrs Landon was cared for during
the night and this morning after Mr.
Landon reached the city a hurried
search of the hospitals resulted in
finding Mrs Landon at one of them.
The long nights vigil at the
Landon home here in the city and
the experience of Mrs. Landon in
Chicago are events that will not
soon be forgotten by any member OF
the family.

Big Fight In Valparaiso To
day Over Fayette st.
Improvement.
REAL ESTATE WITNESSES
viii Testify That Street Improve
ments Cost More Than Lots
Brewer Hardest Hit

About a dozen men went to Val
8 pariso this morning to appear as wit
nesses in the case of the City of Ham
mond VS. The New York, Chicago &
st. Louis r. r.
The Nickel Plate Railroad de-
elares the assessment charged against
it for the paving of Fayette st. to be
excessive and refuses to pay for its
share of the improvements.
Strange to say the property own
ers agree with it and will aid it in
the fight against the city.
Mr.. Crumpacker heads the delega-
tion as attorney for the railroad and
will fight the matter out for both
the railroad and the citizens who
think the assessment unreasonable.
The pavement was laid by con
tractor Myrick and the assessment for
a running foot was $6.22.
Brewers Hard Hit
The property hardest hit is that
owned by the Miller Brewing Co.
This LOT is a triangle two sides of
which faced streets which were
paved.
The whole lot is not worth much
more than $1,000 and yet the assess
ment against it was 5000
There are numerous other cases
where the damage is excessive and
unjust. Among them being the pro-
perty owned by John Camp. Peter
Schultz. Otto Mathies, and the Pabst
Brewing Co.
Fred Mott. c. II. Jacobson, and
Chas Fredericks are the principal
witnesses and they are to testify in
regard to the value of the property
on Fayette st.
1t is expected that this testimony
will establish the fact that in some
proaches the value of the property
assessed and works hardship on
each of the property owners along
this highway.
1t is not known pavement was SC
much more than any other in the
city but this will probably come out
in the trial

Motorman and Conductor
Have Trouble With Sur
plus Cargo
REFUSE TO Be BLUHED
Tall Boy With Large Load Tries
Gymnastics And Comes to
Grief

He was big hoy at least six feet
tall and built TO match. He boarded
the electric car that runs between
Indiana Harbor and East Chicago at
the Indiana Harbor terminus of the
road last evening and was accom-
panied by two other good-sized lads.
They all appeared to be working men
and each acted as If the trio had en-
gagged in a contest to determine who
was most able to add to the fans
of Milwaukee.
The big one had apparently been
the winner of the contest and had
reached the "all-in" stage when he
slouched into a corner seat. The car
had not proceeded far when one of
the party suggested entering the
smoking compartment in the front
of the car. which they all proceeded
to do. The two smaller members OF
the party succeeded in making the
other part of the car safely and the
big fellow was about to make the
glass in the door. The glass might
have sustained the weight of the man
or that of his load, but the combined
weight was too much for it and IL
gave way. The conductor was
soon on the scene of action and, in
the name of the company told the
fellow his bill was $40.
Small but Game.
The conductor is not very big
man but he has a big voice and an
admirable bluff, which, accompanied
with the threat of immediate arrest.
soon persuaded the big boy to come
over with the one-forty. whereupon
he was allowed to depart in peace
at the East Chicago end of the line.
The troubles of the long man were
not yet over, however. He and his
two trailers decided to go over to
Whiting on the Hammond, Whiting
and East Chicago Electric railway.
They lined up on the south side of the
street, the same being the side on
which the car does not stop for pas
sengers and when the car came with
in reach, the big fellow tried to
flip it but his load was so great
that the best he could do was to
grasp the rail and be dragged all
the way across the road. When his
companions had assisted him to his
feet and taken inventory it was found
that he had taken on coat of dust.
several bad bruises and split across
the knee of his corderoy trousers.
He was mad, very, very mad and pro-
missed TO do dire things to the con-
ductor and his road until that dough-
ty official forced him into a corner
where he dozed until the car had
) reached Whiting. Here his compa.
Mons, with the strenuous aid of the
cars crew, assisted him to the street

SENATE'S WORK, DESPITE
CRITICISMS, NOT SLOW

edly be objection, but thereafter, ev-
cry day or two Senator Beveridge, who
has charge Of the bill, will renew his
request for unanimous consent to fix
date. Finally date will be fixed.
1t is perfectly idle and profitless for
people In the country to roast the
senate and hammer 1t because it does
not rush things through as the house
does. There can be no rushing under
the senate rules of unanimous con-
sent and the country might just as
we'll make UP its mind at the begin
ming that the senate will not change
the rules. 1t will insist on doing bust
ness In Its own way just as the house
does business as it desires.
Can Hurry ON Appropriations.
On the other hand the senate can
distance the house in considering ap-
preparation bills. The house may con.
sumo week on an appropriation bill
which the senate will pass in one day.
The house has first passed the appro.
priation bill in question. 1t comes to
the senate and goes to committee.
The senate committee has the bene.
fit of the work put upon the bill by the
1ouoO SolAlAlICSS euu Cu6 uOuS0 dAu
therefore is saved vast amount OF
hearings, investigation, etc., and can
rush the bill through. The senate may
debate various propositions up to with
in two weeks Of adjournment and then
jump in and pass all the appropriation
bill and be ready to adjourn on the
stroke Of the clock.
1t is freely predicted that when an
agreement upon the railroad rate bill
is reached, as seems probable, that the
bill may be passed in a few weeks and
the whole slate cleaned off so as to be
ready to adjourn at an early date. The
house has no monopoly on the patriot
ism or fidelity to the country. The
senate Is just as sincere as the house
but it will have its own way as to how
it will do It's work.
