1000 MEN ARE
OUT OF WORK
Western Steel Car Plant is
Practically Shut Down
Since Storm.
TO Be IDLE ALL WEEK
Huge Steel Smokestack Crashes
Through Roof-Workmen's Es-
cape Miraculous.

Over one thousand men are thrown
out of employment this week at the
Western Steel Car and Foundry works
at Hegewisch as a result of one of the
large 2OO-foot steel smoke stacks being
blown over on the power house. The
smoke stack crashed through the roof
and put the entire electrical system OF
the plant out of business. Since Tues
day afternoon a large force of men
have been working on the power house
and machinists have been engaged IN
repairing on the machinery but accord
ing to reports received from there to-
day the building which furnishes power
for the whole plant will not be put in
working order before Monday, If it is
by that time.
In speaking to one of the officials OF
the company this morning. he said it
was a miracle that the men were not
crushed when the huge steel smoke
stack from the heating foundry was
blown over on the power house as they
were working the same as susal when
the crash occurred. The men. however,
jumped out of the way just in time to
| escape the falling timbers and glass.
The wind was blowing at such a rate
that the window panes were blown out
of the sashes and boards were flying
in every direction.
During the temporary lay off the men
are lying around waiting for the power
house to be finished. Most OF the for
eigners are hanging around the saloons
spending their money. In departments
where no power is required, the men
are still employed but the foundry and
other portions of the plant where ma
chinery is employed, are shut down
absolutely and viii continue thus the
| remainder of the week.

pect? Some say that the appointments
will be taken from the hands of those
who are the acknowledged leaders of
the party here and placed in the hands
Of other republicans. Their belief is
born out in measure by the seIec-
tion OF Milo NJ. Bruce as the repre-
sentative OF the governor in the Sc
lection of the police commissioners.
Then the question arises. will It stop
here? How about the appointment of
the judge Of the continuous court? :?
The prominent members of the bar in
this city have about decided upon a
man who will receive the endorsement
Of the majority, and they are now ask
ing themselves if this has all been for
naught. Many of them fear that in
this case, as in the other, the selection
will not be made by representative
barrister, that the governor will not
care much whether the the appoint
ment pleases or displeases. that the
appointee may be a good lawyer or a
bad one.
Speculation is rife, and it may be
truly said that the city is on the tip
toe of expectancy awaiting the out
come of the governors deliberation on
these subjects that are of SO much
Importance to this community.

HOFFMAN SEWER PERFECT.
Charles Lavene Appointed Inspector
Over the Work, Declares the
Drain Without a Flaw.

Charles Lavene, who has been ap-
pointed by the board of public works
to act as inspector on the South Hoh-
man street sewer, made a statement
yesterday as to the present status Of
the work and its quality. Mr. Lavene
said:
The work is now practically COM
pleted and it will only be a matter of
a short time when the entire street
will again be in ship-shape As far as
the sewer itself is concerned I am in
a position to say that it is absolutely
the best sewer Hammond has. 1t is a
perfect piece of work without a flaw
anywhere. This is unusual in a sewer
of the length of the South Holman
street drain"

HIstory OF superlor Court.

The history Of the superior courts
in this section of the state dates back
to 1895 when law was passed author
izing the establishing of such a court
superior at Hammond. The constitu-
tionality of this law was at once at
tackled. but 1t was sustained by de-
cision OF the supreme court of the
state.
In 1897 the jurisdiction of this court
and others. which was established
soon after. was extended TO include
felonies and other matters. IN 1899 an
act was passed by which the superior
courts were given coordinate juris-
diction with the circuit court All Of
the acts We're decided TO be constitu-
tional.
In addition there were several cases
which had ben decided in the superior
court where ques ton was raised as to
the constitutionality of the superior
court law. In these cases the decision
was in favor OF the superior courts
and so lawyers agree there does not
seem 10 be much likelihood that Judge
Dodges decision will be upheld. When
Judge Tuthil was asked for his opin-
ion in the matter his only reply was
a smile.

Indianapolis Ind, March 2S.-Though
the fact is known that Governor Hanly
lies critically i'll at his home in this
city. He is suffering from gastritis,
according to DR.. Goar, the Hanly fam
lily physician.
Coming home yesterday morning, he
went to bed Immediately. He then had
acute indigestion, which has been pro-
nounced gastritis. With this is the
general debilftated condition resulting
from the strenuous days of the legis-
lature.
So far as is possible the nurses and
the doctor are trying to keep all busi-

Yesterday afternoon the governor insist
ed in having read to him the transcript
of the evidence in the case of the
two foreigners, the Greek and the Bull

was getting better from his attack of
heart failure on Monday until yester-
day afternoon, when the activity of
walking around in the room where he
is living brought on another attack.

ing the scores of appointments that

It is expected that he will turn his at
tention to this when he first gets back
into office. His Office has been crowd
ed with place seekers and their friends
within the past week, and this will
continue until the appointments are de-
cided upon.

BECKER CONFESSES
STAFFELDT MURDER
ADMITS 1T WAS HE, NOT STRANG
Err, WHO COMMITTED AW-
FUL CRIME.

New York, May 2S.-Henry Beck
er under arrest in connection with
the staying of Amelia Staffeldt, in
Elmhurst last Wednesday, is alleged
to have made another confession to
detectives tonight, describing with
minuteness how the crime was com
NOTED.
His first statement in which he
said he saw a companion assault the
girl was subsequently retracted To-
day he was taken to the scene Of the
crime and was identified by Miss
Emily Simmons as one of the men
who washed at the pump in the yard
on the day of the murder.
Becker was asked about the sec
ond man That had been talked about
in connection with the case and for
the first time admitted he never saw
him before. He was about TO get
into the Simmons yard. He said the
stranger disappeared and he had not
seen him after that.
Becker then was taken back to
Jail and during the ride from Elm
hurst to Long Island City told Detec-
tives Calvin and Ticho, it is alleged,
the most important and shocking
part of the story. He said that he
would feel better If he told the whole
truth. He described how he had
been sleeping in the fields and saw
the girl enter the lot in search OF
dandelions
Il went up to her and tried to get
