BUILDING At GARY
EXTENDS AWAY OUT
Operations Brisk Two Miles
From Town and More
is in Sight
WOULD WIDEN BROADWAY AVE.
Owners Beyond Of Pennsylvania
Tracks Regret Narrowing Of
Thoroughfare.
Especial to Lake County Times.

Gary. Ind. Oct. 29.-To the casual
visitor in Gary the built up portion of
Gary extends along Broadway to the
patch" and apparently ends there, and
1t is surprising as one walks out on
the cement walks towards the Pennsyl-
vania railroad depot to note that there
is building activity clear out to the
depot two miles from town. and that
Broadway is being improved for half a
mile beyond the Pennsylvania tracks
to the Hobart road
When the street car line is extended
to these tracks it is expected that the
activity viii be increased. for it will
then be only a ten minute ride to the
mills for a five cent fare, and as the
land is high and dry it is very de-
sirable for business and residence prop
erty.
Beyond the Pennsylvania tracks,
Broadway which is 100 feet wide for
the first two miles Of its length, has
been reduced to sixty feet and already
the property owners in this vicinity
are seeing the mistake they have made
and many Of them would like to widen
the street before more of the cement
curbs are put in or any more money is
spent.
1t would only be necessary to widen
the street on the west side for the east
side is In line with Broadway and
would not need to be changed. The i'm
provements beyond the Pennsylvania
are to be substantial
An eight foot cement walk is to be
built along both sides of the street
and along the sidewalks a nine foot
pavement is being put in. This will
make it necessary for teams going
south to take the right hand side and
those going the other way will have to
take the other side.
The space in the center will not be
paved for the time being, and it is
feared that there may be some difficulty
in handling the traffic. However, it is
hoped that the property owners will
take the matter in hand before it is
too late and not only widen the street,
but will widen the strip of paving on
each side of the street so that teams
may pass on either side.

ASK AID OF LOCAL POLICE.
Chicago Police Seek Cooperation with
Them in Tracking Auto
Thieves.

Automobiles seem to be the desired
booty for thieves in Chicago and the
police Of that city have asked the aid
of the Hammond department in catch
ing the offenders, as it is thought that
they may take advantage of the good
roads throughout Indiana, and the way
leads through this city. Last night
shortly after o'clock. a Stoddard- Day
ton, red runabout, was left standing
at the corner of Cottage Grove avenue
and Thirty-ninth street in the big city
by the curb, and when the owner re-
turned at the end of a few minutes
he found that some person had annexed
his machine. The owner was H
Daube of Grand boulevard and he re-
ported his loss to the Hyde Park police
1t was thought that the machine was
headed this way, and the local police
watched all night for it without avail.

Gary, Ind, Oct. 29.-Stephen Gorano-
witch, who was arrested at this town
several days ago on a warrant from
Columbus, Ohio. charging him with vio-
lating his parole from the state prison
of that place, was taken back by the
warden this morning. The man earned
the sympathy of the people of Gary
because of the peculiar circumstances
of the case. The man worked at Gary
for a year and was regarded as
sober and Industrious workman. How
ever, there is little hope held out that
the Columbus authorities will let him
off easily, as it is stated and explained
in the parole that they must not leave
the state.

MAN TORTURED FOR SO YEARS.
Suffered from Disease of the Skin, But
Found Cure at Last.

A story written in the own words of
the sufferer has just come from Cow
ington. o.. which has caused a big stir
among skin specialists and among
those suffering from Eczema and other
forms of skin diseases. George FIam-
mer. OF that city. an old and honored
resident, suffered from Eczema for S3
years before he was able to find a
suffering by d. D. d. Prescription. Here
is what he says about it:
Il had Eczema for 33 years and two
bottles of D. D. D. Prescription com
pletely cured me. 1 know that this
sounds strange. I can hardly believe
it myself, but this is the gospel truth.
AS soon as I found out what D. D. d.
would do I hunted up two of my best
friends. Mr. Shuman and Mr.. Rank,
both of whom had Eczema. Both OF
them are nearly cured and Mr.. Rank
has only used seven bottles. 1t is a
wonderful remedy"
D. D. d. Prescription is a liquid
remedy which gets right a the roots
of such diseases as eczema, psoriasis,
salt rheum. BARRIERS itch. etc. 1t doc
tors the skin where the skin needs
to be doctored. It kills the germs and
the itching scales fall off, leaving the
skin fine and white
We know that this remedy is abso-
lutely reliable and that it has cured
eczema and the patients appear to be
cured forever Come in and let us

On May IT, 1902, by order of Pres
ident Roosevelt and Secretary Root,
Mr.. Taft sailed from the United
States to Rome on a most delicate
mission-to confer with Pope Leo
XIII concerning the purchase by the
United States of the agricultural
lands belonging to religious orders
in the Philippines. He held confer
ence with the committee of cardinals
over two months-June and July
and reached a general basis of agree
ment. The Importance of this sue
cessful and completed negotiation is
obvious, telling for all time in our
holding and administration of those
valuable and necessary possessions.
This piece of work alone proves con-
clusively that William Howard Taft
has all the high diplomatic qualities
necessary to make successful pres
ident. OF his executive ability there
is no question. 1t has been shown
in hundred ways in the Philippines,
in the War department and in the
several Offices he held prior to en-
trance into political life.
Returning to the Philippines in
August, 1902, Mr.. Taft took up the
work temporarily laid down and re-
sumed Office as Civil Governor till
December %, 1908, when he sailed
| for the United States to become Sec
rotary of War, which important office
he still holds.
With Secretary Taft's able work

nation and the world are familiar
