MRS. LAUBE DOES NOT
APPEAR TO WORRY
Defendant in Abortion Case
Keeps up Good Cheer
Throughout Trial.
new WITNESS PUT ON TODAY
Miss Anna Hutchinson, Nurse Who
Attended Mrs. Brock, Tells of
Latter's Statements.

The case of Mrs. Bertha Iaube OF
Hobart, who is charged with having
committed abortion upon Mrs. Frank
Brock of Lake Station, with fatal re-
suits, was fought today in the Super
Tor court with the same tenacity that
the attorneys for both sides have
shown since the beginning of the trial
last Tuesday.
The statement that DR.. Clara Faux
ner made yesterday while the jury was
in recess, and which was to the effect
that Mrs. Brock had admitted to her
that Mrs. Laube had performed the
operation, was admitted only as a test
of DR.. Faulkner's credibility. and ruled
out by Judge Reiter as evidence for
the jury to consider.
Miss Anna Hutchinson, the nurse
who attended Mrs. Brock during her
illness, was the only witness put on
the stand today and her testimony
took up the entire time of the court.
After repeating to the jury statements
under the guidance of the prosecution,
that Mrs. Brock is said to have made
while In extremts and which were to
the effect that the abortion was per
formed by Mrs. Laube, Attorney COnroy
for the defense took the witness and
put her to a grueling cross -examina-
tion. Miss Hutchinson was quite self
possessed at times, but was neverthe-
less flustered occasionally by the rapid
fire questioning to which she was sub
jected today.
Mrs Laube is constantly in court al
her attorneys side and is absolutely
Unconditional. Rarely does her face
take on a worried look but is generally
clothed with a look OF good cheer
which seems natural to her.
Court adjourned this afternoon for
the week, but will reconvene next Mon
day, when the prosecution will lead
again.

ILLINOIS TUNNEL co.

Concern Applying for Lo-
cal Franchise is In
vestigated.
TELEPHONE USERS INTERESTED
Failure to Make Good in Chicago
Would Handicap Interstate
Automatic Co. Here.

With the request of the Inter State
Automatic Telephone company for an
operating franchise in Hammond and
the expression of its intention to cover
the entire Calumet district, people of
this region are beginning to take no
tice of Chicago's action toward the
Illinois Tunnel company, the concern
through whom the Interstate Auto
matte people promise to give Chicago
and long distance connections.
At present the Illinois Tunnel COM
pany, whose name suggests nothing
that would indicate that 1t is in the
telephone business, Is undergoing a
rapid fire examination by the city coun-
ell of Chicago and more particularly
by the gas, oil and electric light COM
mittee.
The examination was begun about
two weeks ago, and since, members of
the committee made a personal inves-
tigation of the properties of the IIli-
nois Tunnel company, the company
through whom the Interstate Auto
matte Telephone proposes to give Chi
and long distance connections. The
charges against the Illinois Tunnel
company are that 1t is not using it's
franchise to construct a telephone sys-
tenn and that instead. IT is using the
big bore for freight purposes and In a
number OF places this bore exceeds the
| limit in at least four places. In the in
vestigation the fact was also developed
that the company during the past three
years had made no efforts to promote
its automatic telephone system in Chi
cago.
According to a statement made by C
J. HUFF. president Of the Interstate
Automatic Telephone company before
| the Hammond board of puoiic works
his company is entirely Independent OF
| the Illinois Tunnel company and that
the latter company now operates sys-
tenn of automatic telephones IN the
/ business district of Chicago.
| Chicago is interested In the Illinois
Tunnel company on account of the
pending franchise OF the Chicago Tele-
phone company, and is looking toward
the Illinois Tunnel company to be &
| competitor of the former. Hammond
and the Calumet district is interested
in the Illinois Tunnel company on &C
! count of the Interstate Automatit
Telephone company promising to op
crate Chicago and long distance con
nections through II.

Owing to the recent epidemic of ty-
phoid fever, as revealed in THE TIMES,

sion in the United States. The elimina-
ton of technical terms and the element
of dry and uninteresttng instruction
which usually characterizes such lee
lures makes the talk one which will
be appreciated and helpful to all who
have the opportunity to attend If the
opera house was crowded with the at
tentive listeners that usually hear DIR.
Mccormack, there is no doubt but what
the town will be bettered by his eff
forts. In the talk which he viii give
the learned physician will instruct the
mothers and fathers of families how
| they may avoid the ravages of typhoid
fever such as they have had in the
past, and have sanitary and healthful
homes. Humor and interesting narra-
tives are sprinkled in between tie
words so that the attention of the
listeners will be engaged at all times.
Or. Mccormack is devoting his en-
tire time to this york under the direc-
tion of the American Medical associa-
tion. which he represents. The mat
ter of the lives and health of the people
being OF the greatest interest to every
one he has great success in his work.
During the evening he viii also touch
on the subject of Things About the
| Doctors Which the Public Ought to
Know" 1t is to be hoped that every
public spirited member of the com
munity, both men and women, will take
advantage of this opportunity and will
be present at the lecture on Oct %.

Miracle Wrought in Past
Year in Building Substan-
tial Homes and Stores.
PREPARE FOR WINTERS RIGOR
Four Hundred Houses Now Com
pleted and Those Who Live in
Shacks Do So From Choice.
Especial to Lake County Times.)

Gary, Ind. Oct 1S.-The new city
of Gary is prepared for its second win
ter. The first will be long remem-
bered by the pioneers of the city who
lived in tents and tarred paper covered
shacks.
The privations of the first residents
of the city were borne bravely and it
is with intense satisfaction that these
same pioneers are looking forward to
the second winter during which they
will enjoy all the comforts of city life.
There is nothing that indicates bet
ter the progress that has been made
during the past year; for although only
way from tarred paper shanties to
brick homes in which furnace heat
electric lights. water and gas are used
as a matter of course.
There are now about 400 houses
completed and a large per cent of them
are occupied. There is still the float
ing population in the city which will
probably live in shacks during the
winter, but they do so from choice
rather than necessity; to be located
conveniently and not because there are
not better quarters available.
1t is safe to say that to most of the
10 600 people who are now residents
Of Gary, the winter will have no rig
ors They will be well housed, they
will be kept warm. they will be fec
as we'll as the people of any city, and
they will even have banks in which
to put their money.
The problem of furnishing food and
supplies to the thousands who have
drifted into the city in a single year
has been solved by the many bushes.

Fire Discovered on Erie Train as it
Pulls Into Crown Point and
Contents Total Loss.
CONTAINED MERCHANDISE BILLED TO CHICAGO
Alarm Bells Rung in Town and Volunteer Fire De-
partment With Aid of Citizens Fight the
Flames at Depot.
Especial to Lake County Times.)

Crown Point, Oct. 1S.-A car loaded
with valuable merchandise billed to
Chicago, attached to the fast west
bound express on the Erie railroad
was found 10 be on fire early this
morning as the train pulled into Crown
Point, and before the blaze was ex-
tinguished the contents were a total
loss from fire and water. The fire
bells throughout the county seat were
tolled and several hundred citizens re-
sponded to the alarm and fought the
fire with the volunteers. Flocking to
the depot in all stages of undress
the men formed bucket brigades and
with the help OF the train crew the
last spark was extinguished after sew
eral hours of hard work. AS a result
the train pulled into Chicago many
hours behind the scheduled time, with
a black and scared car full of smould-
ering ruins.
The car was one used by the Wells
Fargo Express company and was made
up at New York. and billed for Chi
cago. 1t was loaded with millinery
supplies and valuable merchandise,
such as laces. ribbons, silk. etc. AS
the conductor of the train ran into the
station at Crown Point to get his
orders, he noticed a volume OF smoke
issueing from the seams in the doors
and from the ventilating spaces In the
roof of the car. He at once ordered
the train crew to break open the door:
and told the station master TO pull II
a fire alarm call in the town. This
was done and in a short time the
volunteer fire department was on the
scene The water supply at the sta
tion was hardly adequate to supply
the demand, and it was some time be-
fore the bucket brigade got down tc
action. Before the blaze was extin-
guished the contents of the car was e
total loss and the damage will reacf
fully SIS, 900.
After the contents OF the car were
thrown to the ground and the blaz,
which had spread to the woodwork o.
the car itself was extinguished. th'
conductor asked the fremen to throw
the ruined goods back into the car anC
he ordered the engineer to proceed OF
to Chicago.
