GARY BOARD MAY
GRANT FRANCHISE
Gary and Hammond Trac-
ton Company the Appli
can't for Privileges.

The board of trustees, city attorney,
city engineer and Messrs. Knapp and
Burlington Of Chicago were in confer
ence yesterday afternoon at the Cen
trail school building with regard to
the traction franchise which the Gary
e. Hammond Traction company expects
to ask for at the meeting next Satur-
day The Gary & Hammond Traction
company, which IS IN reality another
subsidiary company, feels that it Is in
a position to handle the traction prob
lem in this and adjoining territory to
much better advantage and satisfac-
ton than is any other company, for
several reasons. First, because the
Steel company has a selfish interest
IN seeing this community get the best
there is to be had in the way Of
transportation facilities in order to
make as attractive as possible the fu-
ture home of the steel corporation;
second, because of it's equipment with
large power plants it need not erect a
separate power station at once,
but could give temporary service with
in a couple Of months, which would be
a physical impossibility for any other
company. They will probably ask for
some leeway, but will expect to give
universal transfers within the limits on
their ,vn lines, permit the use of their
tracks upon agreement as terminal
lines for interurban lines from other
points, and in general to take care Of
the urban and local interurban traffic
an a first class manner.

ARRESTS BROTHER
WHO SAVES CASH
Drunken Carlyle Does Not
Appreciate Effort Of Kin
to Prevent Robbery.

Because a young man took S1470 out
of his brothers pocket while he was
drunk in order to prevent it being
stolen. he was arrested by the very
man whose interests he sought to be-
friend.
The fellow, who is a brother-in-law
of Mrs. Wladislaw Sasadinsld, was ar
rested and taken before Justice Fitz-
gerald on a warrant sworn out. his
brother charging him with taking the
money from the latter's person.
Instead Of denying the fact the de-
PENDANT admitted that he had taken
the money, but explained that the
brother who had caused his arrest was
in the habit OF becoming intoxicated
and spending his earnings for drink,
regardless Of the fact that his board
bills were some times not paid.
He said that the father of the young
man asked him to go and take the
money out Of the fellows pockets to
prevent it being stolen by the hangers
on.
A disgruntled fellow who saw the
money taken melted the arrest and
sought to make the matter worse by
claiming that over 5000 and a gold
watch had been taken.
A number OF witnesses testified that
but $14.7o had been taken for fear that
some other men might go through the
drunken mans pockets.
Judge Fitzgerald was not long IN
deciding that the money had not been
taken with the intent to steal and the
defendant was released.
