TYPHOID prevail ENT

Whiting, Ind, Dec. 7.-(SpeciaL)-
The prevalence Of typhoid fever in
Whiting is becoming alarming. every
day bringing forth new cases. The
main cause Of this disease is supposed
to arise from the lake water which
has become polluted by the city sew
ers. DR.. J. n. Hurry, secretary of the
state board of health. is quoted as say
ing typhoid fever is filth disease
and is a disgrace to Whiting If it pre-
walls al ALL"
If this view Of the matter is taken
into consideration, and while trying
to stamp out the spread Of typhoid
fever and other diseases, why is the
garbage collector not compelled to fur
nish a covering for his wagon? is the
question asked by many. This matter
has been commented upon continually
and is one worthy of consideration al
the earliest possible date. The foul
odors arising from this wagon are un-
bearabIe and in hot weather especially
people are compelled to shut their doors
and close their windows when they
see the garbage wagon coming.

MAN WHO BOASTS
OF PULL IS PULLED
w. Pietras of West Ham
mond, Once Aspirant for
Justiceship, Stung.
RUNS A DISORDERLY HOUSE
Had Dragged His Drag" Was Suf-
fcient to Stand Off the
Police.

Walter Pietras, of West Hammond,
once candidate for the Office of justice
of the peace on a ticket opposing the
late Justice John J. Flynn, was on trial
before Justice Neff yesterday, charged
with running a disorderly house. Pie
tras was arrested several days ago.
The owner of the establishment.
which is at 120 Plummer avenue, is
Joseph StansIawski. Stanslawslki also
owns a saloon at State street in Ham
mond. Pietras published far and wide
the fact that he would be able to run
a disorderly place because of what he
called a political pull and conse-
quentIy had little trouble in securing
some one to back him. The unlucky
man proved to be Stanslawski, who was
willing to back him and start him in
business.
The only political pull" that he had,
it developed, was when the police
pulled" him and the boastful one time
candidate for justice was landed in
jail. When the raid was made on the
place a young girl who has been en-
played in restaurants in Hammond for
some time, was found in the place and
she was also taken into custody.
The trial of the miscreants took place
yesterday afternoon, Attorney Joseph
Balinski, the village attorney and Rob-
ert McAleer. who appeared for the de-
fendant. The case was tried before
Judge Neff of Dolton, who was brought
to the city especially for this hearing.
The young woman was found guilty
and was fined s5 and costs. Pietras
pleaded not guilty and asked for a
continuance until Thursday, Dec. u.
which was granted In the case of
Stanslawski, the attorney entered a
plea of not guilty and the trial took
place at once.
There was but little question that
the man was guilty, according to the
evidence produced but after a lengthy
trial in which excitement was at q
hiEh pitch, the case went to the jury
The latter, body of six men, delibor-
ated over five hours on the case and
finally agreed to disagree. Knowing
that if the case came up before an
ather body of men he would be con
vieted, the defendant pleaded guilty anc
received the fine of $50 and costs. Il
is said that the jurors stood five tc
one for conviction.

TWO FACTIONS ARE
SPRINGING INTO BEING
One Represents the Knots Anti
Steel Company Element, While the
Other is Composed of Citizens Fa-
vOring Parent Corporations Con-
troll Of Public Utilities.
(speeiaI to Lake County Times


Gary, I1d., Dee. Gary now has a
population sufficiently large to war
rant its being Incorporated into a city,
but action along these lines is to be
deferred because of the two political
factions that have arisen in this city
and which seek to gain control of the
city
a. +. Knots has been building up a
political machine in Gary ever since
his arrival here a year and a half ago.
He is a politician BY nature and as
soon as he realized that Gary would
in the near future be city Of 10000
to $4,000 Inhabitants he saw that it
would be a big factor politically in
state politics, ana proceeded to in
trench himself there
For the first few months of Garys
history the sailing was smooth and
Knots was able to secure the election
OF an entire set OF city officials who
We're friendly to him. His brother was
made president Of the town board and
givfEn .Ssthe p0stInastership. His other
frtaus were placed in downy berths
aHae Te knottses were masters Of the
p,5 - ii situation.
g. - . 1vo F1setions Develop.
Then came the differences between
Mr.. Knots and the steel company
which resulted in his resignation =
agent in charge of properties. With
Knots out of the steel companys en-
ploy, the fight over the traction fran
chise began and two - tions devel-
oped.
One was made up of the Knots
crowd. the other was composed of those
of the citizens Of Gary who sided with
the steel company IN their contention
that Gary's street car lines, could be
built best by a subsidiary company of
the United States Steel corporation
and who resented the action Of the
Knots people in getting about an there
was to be had in the way Of political
favors.
The latter faction has been develop
ing strength TO remarkable extent
and from the conversations that are
to be heard a dozen times a day. 1t is
apparent that the first real political
issue in Gary is to be that Of the de
STABILITY or undesirability or Knots
domination.
Mould NeceSsitatc New Election.
Regarding the Incorporating of
the town into a city: 1t would of
course make a new election necessary.
The Knots element is now in control
Of all Of the Offices and naturally
have a good deal of political power
to start with. but there is a big ele-
ment of uncertainty as to how the
election would go at the present and
Knots is wise enough to see that 1t
IS better politics to run the risk of an
election later on when his machine is
perfectad than fO agree to one now

Special to The Lake County Times

Especial 10 The Lake County Times)
SchererviIle, Dec. 7.-Standing within
earshot of her mothers call and almost
on the identical spot whore her aged
father had been killed little more that
two years ago, Miss Lizzie Schultz,
aged 81. was struck by a fast west
bound Pennsylvania train at 1855 yes
terday afternoon. Miss Schultz. who
was somewhat deaf was killed in
stantly her body being mangIed and
her head and face badly disfgured
Miss Schultz had been at the Weis
grocery, which faces the railroad tracks
and was on her way home from her
shopping trip. Her home was situated
on the west side of the tracks, only a
few hundred feet distant The mother
was standing at the window and was
an eyewitness to the horrible accident
In going home the girl failed TO hear
the whistle blow and owing to the To-
cation of the depot and the withstand
did not see the train approach. She
started to cross the tracks but the train
was almost upon her before she noticed
it. She was rooted to the spot by
sudden fear and was unable to get out
of the way. Had she jumped one way
or the other when she first noticed
the train it is thought that her life
might have been saved.
Mother One of First ON Scene.
While the wretched mother was the
first one to notice the accident to her
daughter Chas. Reipling was the first
to arrive on the scene. He was how
ever, closely followed by the mother,
who tainted as she arrived A large
group of people soon gathered and
the mangled remains were carried to
{. house where the mother followed
moaning as she went along. Her de-
ceased daughter was the only one Of
her children who was with her at her
home, the other children having moved
to various parts of the country.
When tie body was picked up it
was found that the hand still clutched
the days mail that she had received in
the village postoffice From almost
every house in the little town the peo-
pie were attracted by the peculiar
whistle of the engine.
Miss Schultz was of a retiring dis
position but well liked by everybody
with whom she came in contact.
Her funeral will take place Monday
morning at 10 o'clock from the Catholic
church at Schererville, of which she
was a member
Her father Henry Schultz, who was
killed almost on the identical spot little
more than two years ago was one of the
best known citizens of Lake county,
having been active in politics and hav-
ing held the office of township trustee
Of St John township for many years.
Mr.. Schultz who was 20 years old at
the time was driving home his herd of
cows when he noticed some of the ami
mails in danger on account of an ap-

Especial to The Lake Cous

Especial TO The Lake County Times)
Gary, Dee. Ut has Just leaked out
that there is an organized warfare be-
ing carried on by the structural steel
workers at South Chicago against some
of the nonunion workers at Gary and
that already il has resulted in several
cracked heads and a condition of affairs
that makes it unsafe for a nonunion
Gary workingman to go to South Chi
cago. Although 1t is impossible to Sc
cure the names OF the victims a prom
inent Gary physician said he had taken
care of two men who had received bad
beatings at the hands of South Chicago
union men.
In one case q man was sent to South
Chicago to take a fellow wor6ingman
to the hospital when he fell in with
some union men and was badly beaten.
The necessity for rushing the work
at Gary has made it impossible to get
along with nothing but union labor and
the unions In South Chicago have rec
ognized this fact.
