TEST FILTER|NC PLANT
State officials Make Analy-
sis of Flint Lake Water
For Valpo.

Valparaiso. Nov. (SpeciaD The
officials of the Indiana state board of
health at the request of the Home Wa
ter company, are making tests of the
new $4,000 filtering plant at Flint
Lake. preparatory to its acceptance by
the company. They expect to ascertain
the results of the first tests of the ef-
ficiency of the plant today. The tests
will cover period Of ten days, three
tests being made every day.
After this about five more days will
be required at indianapolis to ascer-
tain the results of tests already made
and to make the necessary reports. The
efficiency of the plant is determined by
the percentage of bacteria removed
during the filtering process. the num-
ber of bacteria remaining after fltra-
tion being counted and compared with
the number found in the unfltered wa
ter. 1t requires about five days before
the result of any one test can be de-
termined because it takes about that
length of time for the bacteria to de-
velop.
1t is expected that the tests will show
that the filtered water is almost chemi-
cally perfect in purity. for the plant in
stalled is considered by experts one OF
the best to be had.

Man Supposed to be Julius
Shipper Meets Death
on Tracks.
THOUGHT DISCHARGED Chef
Man Answering His Description Let
Out This Morning by Gary
Hotel.
Especial to Lake County Times.)

Gary, Ind, Nov. 26.-Special-A well
dressed and apparently prosperous Ger
man, was run over and instantly killed
on the Lake Shore railroad this morn
ing, the body being cut in two. The
man is supposed to be Julius shipper,
an assistant chef at the Gary hotel
Early this morning the man came
to the police station and in incoherent
manner asker Sergeant Klopf how to
get to the Gary hotel. The man was
dressed in fine clothes and wore a dia-
mond ring on his finger. From what
could be made out of his stumbling
speech it was thought that he had been
engaged as a chef at the hotel and had
lost his way. He was directed by the
police and went out. About half an
hour later the police were told that
man had been killed on the Lake Shore
railroad and when they went to the
scene they found that it was the man
who had called on them earlier. The
body was removed to the morgue. where
the coroner will view the remains to-
morrow.
The police then went to the Gary
hotel where they interviewed the head
chef The latter stated that he had
PAID OIL ana dlScnarSd TWO assistants
this morning and that their names We're
Julius Shipper and Albert Brandlet.
From the description of the dead man
he thought that it might have been
the former. He had not engaged any
new assistants. He said that Shipper
was a German who could speak but
little English, although he was well
educated. and appeared to be about 40
] In r4nf.T
the mans home was, but thought that
he came from Chicago.
This mornings accident was the sew
enth that has occurred on the tracks
of the Lake Shore railroad recently.
The police think that the reason for
so many accidents may be that the
trains run on the left instead of the
right hand tracks.

Two thrilling run-aways were staged
on the principle streets of Hammond
last night at the same time. On
Douglas street, near Holman, five men
we're injured. two of them severely,
while at the corner Of State and Oakley
frightened horse tore down the
street hitched to an empty buggy which
+. soon demolished in the course Of its
mad flight. 1t seemed as If run
away mania had suddenly attacked
the horses of the city. One man was
taken to the hospital with q fractured
skull and another was knocked un-
conscious and had to be removed to
his home where he is now in a pre-
carious condition.
The accident on Douglas street was
BY far the most serious OF the two.
All reports indicate that the horse
which was owned by the Whitaker
stables did not run away but was
being whipped at the time by the
driver. Dan Sankey Standing straight
up in his seat, whip in hand he drove
the buggy madly down Douglas street
from Holman. About a block from
the corner the horse and buggy en-
countered the Russell plumbing wagon.
and being unable TO guide the horse
correctly, co1lided with terrific force
into the approaching wagon in which
five men. employees Of the company
were riding. With a crash that could
be heard for blocks the occupants of
both vehicles were thrown onto the
brick pavement. and Sankey was pin
ioned beneath the overturned carriage,
while Nike Wneyezki. one OF the
plumbers was knocked unconscious by
striking his head against the curbing.
A great crowd OF people. many OF
whom were workmen returning home
I gathered around and assisted IN releas-
/ ing Sankey from the wreckage, while
others sent in an ambulance call The
driver was found TO be in bad shape
and was taken Immediately TO the
hospitals Mike Wileyezki was able 70
