WORKMAN AFFECTED
BY INTENSE HEAT
Pane Chanak First Victim
in South Chicago
Today.

South Chicago. June 21-Special.-
Pane Chanak of 1892 Strand street
was the first victim of the heat in
South Chicago today. He was stand
ing at one of the entrances to The
plant of the Illinois Steel COMPANY $
plant and fell to the ground an
conscious. He was taken to the police
station where he was partly revived
and gave his name and address.
Chanak says that he was assaulted
by one of the Poles in the vicinity of
the plant and knocked out but the
doctors examination indicates that the
he was the victim of sunstroke for
his fever was very high and there
were no marks of violence on his
person.
The officers say, however, that there
is a great deal of fighting going on
at the gate of the plant every day
among the foreigners who are in
search of work and who are very
jealous of each other
It is believed that Chanak will re-
cover.

PUPILS COMPLAIN OF
LABORATORY SINK
Death of Prof. Elston Starts
Agitation as to School
Sanitation.

A controversy has arisen between
the pupils of the Central High school
of this city and the school authorities
over the sanitary condition of the
physical laboratory in the building.
Since the death of Prof Jason Elston
from typhoid fever many complaints
have been received of the alleged I'M
sanitary condition of the sink in the
room where Prof. Elston and other
teachers conducted their classes.
Prof Irwin, who conducted the sci
ence classes prior to the arrival Of
Prof Elston was taken Ill with
typhoid fever and was obliged to re-
tire from service. 1t was to help him
out that Prof. Elston came to Ham
mond Many of the pupils declare that
the sink was the cause of both pro-
fessors being taken with the disease.
The room is not only used by the
science classes but is also used by
the bookkeeping class.
Pupil Talks.
One of the pupils stated today to a
LAKE COUNTY TINES representative
that the sink was i'll smelling and was
filed with water nearly all the time.
why that room smells something ter
rible." he stated, And we all noticed
that the sink was full of stagnant,
dirty water at nearly all the sessions
Prof Irwin was taken Ill with the
fever and Prof Elston also was in
fected with the disease. Several
pupils were taken i'll and showed
symptoms of typhoid while attending
| the classes among whom were
Chauncey Hoffman and Walter Bauers.
We think that the room should be
fumigated and that the entire sink
should be removed and a new one
substituted and4hat it should be kept
clear of refuse at all times"
| Superintendent. McDaniels took an
| opposite view Of the situation and
stated that in his opinion Prof Els
tons illness was caused by drinking
unfltered water outside the school
building. He said that all the school
water was filtered in the basement
and that the building was in a sanitary
condition. He stated that so far as he
knew there had been but little illness
amongst the pupils during the last
year and that the school figures ha6
not been decreased enough to cause
the abandonment of any of the classes
The matter will probably be taken VI
thoroughly before the reopening of the
| school.

THUNDER CLAP
INJURIES WOMAN
Mrs. Thomas feathers in a
Critical Condition, Result
of Shock From Fright.

While standing on her back porch at
noon today, Mrs. Thomas feathers of
IA Doty street, was rendered uncon-
scious when a thunder clap that
sounded like the report of a battery of
field guns came from an almost cloud
less sky.
Mrs feathers was just returning
from the back yard and had reached
the porch when the clap came, and with
a cry she threw up her arms and fell
to the floor unconscious. Mrs. C. P.
Burgman, who lives on the firsts floor
hastily ran to her side and several
other neighbOrs carried the woman to
her apartments. A physician was sum-
moned and late this afternoon she was
resting more comfortable. This is the
second shock Mrs. feathers had had
in a few months.
