FOR AID TOWARD
IDENTIFICATION
Charge Corporations With
Duty Toward Possible
Victims Of Accident.

The accident on the Michigan Cen
trail yesterday In which an unknown
foreigner was killed, has again
brought up a subject which is al
ways uppermost in the minds of the
police. the undertakers and county
officials. 1t is the question of estab-
fishing the identity of the unknown
person before he is buried.
Nicholas Emmerling, one of the un-
dertakers in Hammond who is often
called upon to take charge of uni
Identified bodies, made a suggestion to-
day which is apropos of just such
cases and which with little cooper
alton could be carried out with very
satisfactory results. Mr.. Emmerling
said:
Nine cases out of ten that we get
into our establishment to be prepared
for burial and which are unidentified
are foreigners who have been en-
ployed in gangs by some company In
and around Hammond. Many of them
are workers In the Gibson yards
where they answer to certain mum
ber. Absolutely nothing is known OF
them there as to their homes and
friends and relatives. They come and
go as do the birds of passage and
nothing is required of them excepting
that they be able to earn their days
wages.
That is where I think the authori-
ties should step in and make it imper-
ative for the companies to make such
memoranda to enable identification in
case of an accident. 1t would OF
course, require a little more work or
their part, but these people are al
buried in the potter's field and aside
from any matter of sentiment, many
an expense that is in this way put or
the county would be gladly carried
by some relative"

WAIT FOR MEE'S OPENING.

Friends of VIII c. Nee are looking
forward to the time when he will move
his stand into the First National Bank
building, where they are assured of
larger quarters. Mee's place has been
found by the young men of Hammond
to be the nearest approach to a young
mems club where they can pleasantly
spend an hour or two in each others
company in Hammond and the small
place has always been far too small
to hold them all. In his new place Mr.
Nee will install five pool tables and
two billiard tables. The quarters will
be divided in such a manner as to sep
crate his store from the amusement hall.
The rear of the postoffice will be so ar
ranged as to accomodate him as soon
as the federal building is opened.

Constantine Stethacopolus,
Convicted of Murder
May Receive Clemency.
INTERVENTION ASKED
Friends of Condemned Man Interest
His Home Government; Latter
Ask Communication.

Attorney NJ. NJ. Bruce, who defended
Constantine Stathacopolus, the Greek
who was convicted of murder in the
Lake circuit court last September has
receiver a communication from D. jan
nopoulo, the Greek council at St. Louis.
Mo-, asking him for a statement in re-
gard to the hanging of Stathocoplus.
Jannopoulo says in his letter that he
has taken the matter up with the
various consuls over the United States
who have interested their home gov
ernment in the case. They have re-
ceived replies urging them to use every
effort available to commute Statha-
copolus' sentence from death to life
Imprisonment. The matter has been
taken before the governor who has
ordered a transcript Of all the evidence
sent to him that he may read it over
with a view to considering committing
the sentence.
The officials Of the Indiana Harbor
road have sent a petition to the COVER
nor asking him to commute Stathaco-
polus sentence to life Imprisonment.
Even at the Michigan City prison where
Stathacopolus is occupying a cell. the
prison officials pity him and nothing
could please them better than to see
his sentence committed to life i'm
prisonment.
That Governor Hanly will accede
seems to be the general opinion of
those who have been following the
case throughout the trial and are ac-
quainted with Hanley's attitude toward
the matter.
Mayor Becker has also interested
himself in the case and is using his In
fluence with the governor for an ex-
tension of clemency.
Stathacopolus stabbed a fellow work
man in a fight at the Gibson yards
last September.
Lapidat Also May Escape.
John Lapidat, the convicted murderer
who now occupies a cell in the Michigan
City prison may have his sentence com
muted from death to life Imprisonment.
Governor Hanly has written the defend
ants Attorney. Otto ]. Bruce of Crown
Point, to send him a bill of exceptions
in that case that he may read the evi-
dence to see. If there is any grounds
on which to commute his sentence from
death to life imprisonment, IL he can
find any that will warrant his so do
ing. the chances look good for Lapidat
escaping the hangmans moose.
Lapidat is the Roumanian who is al
legged to have murdered Alexandria
Urdia in a saloon quarrel at Indiana
Harbor Sept 1.

SOUTH S|DERS IN
BAD BRAIN STORM
Complain Bitterly Because
Work on Holman Street
is Delayed.

The citizens on the South Side are
becoming more and more indignant be-
cause of the don't care" attitude of
the contractors who are putting in the
sewer connections in Holman street
and who have had this important high
way torn up for the past six months.
a we'll known South Side property
owner said this morning, There are
dozens of piles of dirt stone and sewer
pipes piled up in the street without
even the suggestion of a red lantern
to warn the public of danger.
I'm many cases trenches had been
dug during the day and had been re-
filled with soft earth If horse
should happen to step in one OF these
it is impossible to see how it would es-
cape bad fall and perhaps injury
that would destroy it's usefulness The
lives of those who happened to occupy
the vehicles also would be endangered +"
There are portions of the street
where the pavement is torn up on both
sides of the street car track and leaves
only narrow place for wagons to pass.
Besidest this the work has been drag
ging on for months when a few weeks
would have been all that was necessary
to complete the work.
Shea & o. Shea, who have the con-
tract say that they are losing money
on the job. That may be true, but
any contractor will admit that It is
less expensive to put on big gang of
men and finish UP a job quickly than
to dilly daily along as these contractors
have done"
There are two requirements in ac-
cepting bids for public improvements.
The lowest and best bidder usually
gets the job The city officials say they
have no recourses against Shea & o.
Shea but they can remember this in
awarding future contracts and give
them to the best as well as the lowest
bidder"
The people who are compelled to ira
verse this street are disgusted with the
manner with which the work on this
job has been conducted and If the street
is not more passable by spring and
some OF the sewage pumping stations
are not removed some decisive action
in the matter is likely to be taken.

SHOTGUN SUICIDE
WILL LIKELY DIE
Cedar Lake Saloonkeeper is
Threatened With Blood
Poisoning.

According to information received
from Cedar Lake this morning John
Mitch the Cedar Lake saloon keeper
who attempted to commit suicide Mon
day Is no better today and his condi-
tion is very serious. DR.. H. v. Gooder
of Lowell is attending to Mitch and
he thinks the injured man has a very
poor show OF living as the chances are
that blood poisoning viii set IN.
Mitch still refuses 10 give any reason
for attempting self destruction but
says he wishes that he had made
good job of it.
The general opinion around the Lake
is that Mitch has had some family trou-
bles and getting despondept thought
the easiest way to end it all was to
commit suicide When asked II that
was the reason he still remained silent
and would not speak of the matter.
Last night most of the shot that were
lodged in his side and around the heart
had been removed but even with the
shot out he is not expected to have
much of chance to live by those who
know the circumstances.
Mitch's wife will say nothing about
the matter but appears to be much
shocked by the blow The attempted
suicide at the summer resort has Great
ed quite a sensation among the popula-
tion OF the village.

possible 10 reason with them and out
of the question to deal with them.
we have offered to increase their
wages from 15 to II cents an hour and
give all of the men who have been
getting more than So day a 10 per

will be satisfied with this concession.
In fact l do not believe they would be
satisfied with any offer we might make
them. The workingmen get restless at
this time of the year and nothing will
satisfy them but a lay or of several
weeks. Then they get out of money
and are ready TO come back at our own

seem to realize the seriousness of the
situation and do not seem to care
whether there is a settlement made or
not. When the riot occurred at the
Republic Iron and Steel company's
plant and one or two men were shot.
the men were arrested and ali they
were fined was 81 and costs. If they
had been given the sentence they mer-
tied the trouble might have been ended
there.
May Not DO ii Now.
1T may be a matter of some sur
prise to the people of East Chicago to
know that we had intended TO locate
our Cambridge. O., plant In East Chi
cago as we have decided to move 1t
from the present location. but If we
are to be confronted with these con-
ditions in the future with such exas-
perating regularity we would not think
of locating here. This plant employs
400 or 500 men and when we rebuild
the number will probably be increased.
1T seems to me- added Mr.. Johns,
that there ought to be some manner
of arbitrating these differences as they
do in Chicago or other cities and a lot
of trouble would be prevented"
There was no violence in East Chi
cago this morning. Everything is
quiet and the general impression seems
to be that the trouble will blow over
in few days.

Gives Short Dictated" Interview to
Reporter Concerning Victory
Made Town Famous.

Battling Nelson has won his fight to
compel the Pennsylvania railroad to
retain the name of Hegewisch instead
of calling his home town Burnham
and he is now the happiest fellow in
the town of swamps
His victory was won through the
efforts of Leon Hornstein, the assistant
corporation counsel of the city of Chi
cago, who wrote a long letter to the
officials of the Pennsylvania railroad
regarding the course they had taken
in changing the name of the hamlet
of Hegewisch
May Retain the Old Name.
The Pennsylvania company has re-
plied to my letter" wrote the assistant
corporation counsel to Battling Nelson
'and they say that the higher officials
of the road are now considering your
request that the signboard at their
station which bears the name of Burn
ham be taken down and the good old
name of Hegewisch nailed up in it's
stead"
The town has been Hegewisch for
thirty years and it shall never be called
Burnham," murmured Battling Nelson to
himself as he read and re-read the COM
forting words from the assistant corpo-
ration counsel. When reporter call
