WALTER SETMAN
DIES At HIS WORK
Hammond Bricklayer Com
plains of Cramps and is
Later Found Dead.

While at work yesterday morning
in the construction Of a building in
East Chicago, Walter Setman. a Ham
mond bricklayer. complained of cramps
in his stomach, laid down in the grass
near his work and was found dead a
half hour later by his companions.
Until a few days ago Setman was sup
posed to be in the best of health and
neither he ror his fellow workers were
enabled to know how quickly all of
his earthly tasks would be ended when
he began the days labor that morn
ing
1t is said that Setman had returned
to Hammond recently from Chicago
where he had been on few days
pleasure trip, and had complained
since that time of an acute pain in his
stomach The trouble was not regard
ed as serious, however, and for that
reason failed to secure medical atten-
tion at the proper time. He started to
work at the same hour yesterday morn
ing and conversed in the usual man
ner with his companions although
still complaining Of the cramps in his
stomach. In less than fifteen minutes
lie was compelled to quit work, telling
his friends that he thought he would
feel better if he could stretch himself
upon the ground. He acted upon this
belief and was soon forgotten by the
workmen occupied by their various
Guties as they had no reason TO believe
that he would not soon recover.
few minutes later, a workman who
had occasion to go near where he was
lying. was Mortified TO find the man
either unconscious or dead. he did not
know which. a doctor and an ambu-
lance was sent for at once but the
man had died before the hospital could
he reached. The attending physician,
I Or. Boal. says he does not know wheth-
er the man died before the ambulance
arrived. or on the journey to the hos
pital as the evidence was not sufficient
50 that the inexperienced workmen
could tell. The cause OF the death,
/ was found at the inquest to be acute
dilation of the heart for which the
trouble with his stomach was directly
f responsible.
Mr- Setman was we'll known brick
layer. and member Of the Hammond
union, ia good standing He has been
a resident Of this city for about eight
months having come here from Ems
worth. a suburb Of Pittsburg. where
his wife is now living He has taken
several contracting jobs in this city
but for the last few weeks has been
working for an East Chicago contractor

struction of a saloon building in that
city and has continued TO live in Ham.

Reasons ThrecfoId.
The reasons for this are said TO be
three. first the fact that the cars Of the
future must be steel cars. secondly the
presence Of the enormous plant OF the
United States Steel corporation where
the steel may be secured. and last OF all
the fact that Chicago is the greatest
railway center in the world and viii be
an ideal place for the distribution OF
the finished product.
As proof of the fact that the business
of manufacturing cars is centered in
this vicinity. one has only 70 point to
the Standard Steel Car company, which
is building an enormous plant In this
city the Western Steel Car and
Foundry company of Hegewiseh, the
project OF the Pullman company for
the manufacture OF steel cars there.

and Foundry company at Blue Island

and then what is 70 be the biggest con-
Germ of them all. the new plant at Gary.

TO Be BUSIER
South Chicago Civil Court to
Include Pullman Divi-
sion After July Is.

South Chicago. ILL.,, June 13.-The
closing Of the third fourth and fifth
district civil courts Will effect the
South Chicago civil session but little IS
the opinion of Judge Girten as express
ed to reporter of THE LAKE COUNTY
TIMES. In accordance with the action
taken at the monthly meeting of the
judge of the municipal court last Fri
day. only the first district and the sec
ond which includes South Chicago will
have a civil session after July 13.
Chief Justice Olsen in issuing the or
der stated that the object in eliminat-
ing the outside districts is to make the
court attendance more convenient to
ALL and to center the forces OF the
judges down town.
Judge Girten stated that the increase
Of business in the South Chicago dt-
vision would be but little as near as
they could judge. According to the in
crease in the boundary lines of the di-
vision, the only addition was the Pull
man district and a few blocks on the
north side Of the present lines. At
the present time about eight cases Of
civil matter are tried daily before Judge
Girten and with a large criminal busi-
ness coming UP every day, the present
South Chicago court is a busy place.
At least six hours a day is now fully
taken up with the hearing OF criminal
and civil cases. If the increase of busi-
ness warrants it. an extra force of

That the Calumet region is to be the
steel car manufacturing center of the
world was made apparent today when
President Burlington of the Illinois
Steel company in an interview with
reporter for THE LAKE COUNTY TINES
admitted that the American Car and
Foundry company, capitalized at S60,
100000. and considered the largest con-
Germ of its kind in the United States
had purchased 10 acres of land near
Clark Station and would at once begin
the construction of what is destined TO
be the best plant in the country for
the production of steel cars.
The plant will eventually cost be-
tween $1,000, 600 and SIC, ZOO. 900 and Will
employ 5000 men and will be located
on section thirty-two, which is north
east of Clark Station and northwest
of the Gary Land company's first sub
division. 1t will be equipped especially
for the manufacture of steel passenger
cars. which railroad men are convinced
will soon replace the infiammahle
wooden cars that are now in use. The
new plant will be the first one in the
world equipped for the manufacture of
passenger coaches.
Capacity 10000 Cars Yearly.
The capacity of the plant will be
100 to 125 finished cars a day or 10000
completed cars a year. One of the
special advantages of the location OF
the new plant is the proximity to Gary
where there will be an abundant supply
of the raw material and it is said that
this together with the great railway
and waterway advantages of the Calu-
met region We're the reasons why the
plant was located as described above.
Mr. Burlington said it was the inten-
ton of the American Car and Foundry
people to make the Gary plant the
finest in the country and pointed to the
fact that Chicago and vicinity is fast
