Want STEEL BOX CARS
Standard Gets Order for
Twenty From Western
Roads Innovation.

Butler. Pa, Nov. 30..-SpeciaI-The
Standard Steel Car company has re-
ceived from a Western road an order
for twenty samples of all-steel box
cars, and the mill will turn out the
cars in the near future.
Up to the present time the au-steel
box cars have been but little more
than wish of the railroad companies
but the success OF the al1-steef bag
gage car which was manufactured by
the Standard some two years ago, has
convinced the railroad people that all
steel box cars are not only feasible
but practicable, and different railroad
companies are having designs prepared
for the new form of box cars
The cars to be built by the Stand
ard are from plans prepared by the
railroad company which has given the
order. There wilt be no wooden parts
about the framework of the new cars
but all the parts will be of steel and
they will be practically unbreakable
The interior of the cars intended for
handling grain will probably have a
wooden lining, and on the outside there
will be a wooden plate on which the
route card. showing the shipping des-
tination of the car. will be placed.
The building of the all-steeI box
cars Will open a wider field than ever
for the steel car building companies
and If the experimental cars now to
be constructed prove success and
the completed cars are not too high
in price, it is more than probable that
the railroad companies will cut out
the wooden box cars entirely and will
use the all-steeL If this is done the
demand for steel cars would more
than double and the proseprity of the
steel car building companies would be
assured for an indefinite time to come.

Attorney McAleer defended the ac-

the start and when the younger man
whispered to the Prosecutor advising a
small point, the latter replied that he
had examined more witnesses than his
younger brother and could take care of
i all right. To which Sawyer re-
sponded that that fact might be. but
that he was also in the case for the
state and that he would try to con
duct the case as we'll as he was able
TO. He afterwards took a leading part
in the questioning of the witnesses.
Another clash came between Sawyer
and McAleer and the two frequently
exchanged veiled compliments and sar-
castle retorts during the case
Even the interpreter got into the
spirit of the hostilities and took vio-
lent exceptions TO one of the specta-
tors. who with sign language made
known that he thought the Interpreter
was not translating the answers as the

an argument or two between the men

AFTER FREE DELIVERY

Indiana Harbor. Nov. s0.-The people
of this city are determined that Indiana
Harbor shall have better postal facil-
tiles and better fire protection. This
determination is shown by the fact
that the business men recently held
meeting at which a committee was ap-
pointed to make recommendations to
the post office department that free
delivery service be installed. The mat
ter Of a local paid fire department was
also discussed and recommendations
will be made to the city council which
Will be persistently pressed until some

Not only Indiana IIarbor but every
city in the Calumet region is incon-
venienced by the most antequated sys-
tenn Of routing mails Imaginable IL has
remained for Indiana Harbor to take
the initiative not only in fighting for
an improved system OF routing the
mails but also for the blessings OF free
delivery which only Hammond enjoys.
business Man Talks.
One of the leading business men OF
East Chicago said yesterday that II was
time for the people Of both East Chi
cago and Indiana Harbor to forget
their petty jealousfeS and unite IN an
EFFORT to secure free delivery.
He said, 1T win have to be admitted
that Indiana Harbor is growing so much
more rapidly than East Chicago that
sooner or later the post Office for the
4 two cities will be located in the Harbor
and that there will be free delivery
/ from the central Office while East Chi
cago will be provided with sub sta
tion where its citizens may buy their
stamps and money orders"
IF this arrangement must prevail
sooner or later" he argued, why not
put it In operation Immediately so that
both cities may at once have the ad-
vantages of the bettered service?
Hit Nail ON the Head.
.orhe remarks of Judge Crumpacker
could not be improved up when he said
that the cities of the Calumet region
had Increased in population so fast
that they had outgrown all Of the rules
and regulations OF the postoffice depart
ment.
The cities OF this region require a
special dispensation from the depart
ment which viii make a street car mail
service between cities possible and
avoid the delay that IS caused by the
fact that letter from East Chicago
or the Harbor pouha iol aaiiliiiO'u
must now go in a round about way
through the Chicago Office"
AS to the inadeguacy Of the fire pro-
lection. there Is only a volunteer de-
rartment although half million dollars
has been expended in business blocks
alone during the past year.
Indiana Harbor has grown by leaps
and bounds and the cities Of that
r,unfc{nality are determined that il
shall have all of the conveniences that
a city Of that size has a right to de-
mand.

Mrs. Josie Wolf finds Treas
ure Burned to a Crisp
in Oven.
HIDDEN FOR SAFE KEEPING
Boarder, Unaware of What Was Con-
cealed in Hot Air Chamber,
Builds Fire.

Mrs. Josie Wolf who resides near
Hammond at the corner of Burnham
avenue and the Michigan road may
have had some doubt as TO the solvency
of the banks OF the country, she may
have thought that it was better to
hide her money than to put II IN
one Of the local banks but If she en-
tertained such ideas a while ago she
has put them entirely from her mind
and may be the loser Of $S4 in Uncle
Sans real money as the price of the
lesson she has learend.
Mrs. Wolf evidently heard some one
say that some one had told him that
some one had said that the banks of
the country were all going to smash
for instead of doing as she always has
done before and taking her money to
the bank she rolled 1t up in a piece
of paper and put it in the oven of an
old unused stove.
"A burglar will never look there. "
she said to herself. and II is better
to have the real money on hand instead
Of those cashiers checks" 1t was not
long before one of the hired men had
occasion to start the fire in the little
unused stove.
Takes 1t Out On Hired Man.
He was blissfully warming his hands
over the hot fire when Mrs. Wolf came
rushing into the room. She opened the
oven door so quickly that the hired
man was astonished.
What have you in there" he en-
quired. Mrs. Wolf jerked out a brown
and half burnt roll of paper. There
see what you did, said she. There is
the proceeds from a whole wagon load
of potatoes and all of the turkeys
we did not eat for Thanksgiving
The hired man was the fall guy" h,
had to stand for s34 worth of abuse
Finally the question of the redemption
of the half burnt money was raised ans
Mrs. Wolfe sent her little girl to tn
bank to see If 1t was possible to saw
anything from the ruins.
When the little girl presented tn
crisp tburned to a crfspl bills ever,
one in the bank laughed. 1t was tn
old story of the stocking versus TIA
bank and the bank was a winner b.
a length.
Mamma says she will take a chanc
on the bank after this" said the littl
girl when she saw every one aroun,
her smiling and there is little doub
that this incident will do more TO SHOW
the folly of boarding money in i'm
lprovised safe deposit boxes among tn
people of the neighborhood than all o
the articles that have appeared in tn
newspapers since the financial fury be
gan.

Although it was expected that the
anti-saloon league which is working

had not been done up to this afternoon.
The consequence is that the anti-sa-

The saloon and brewery interests are
fully awake to their interests by this
