INDIANA HARBOR
IS UNDISTURBED
Financial FURRY is Prac-
tically Unnoted in That
Busy Little City.
INLAND HAS WORK FOR YEAR
Steel Plant is Running Practically

Especial to Lake County Times,

Indiana Harbor Ind, Nov 12.-Spe-
cial.-A carful investigation of con-
ditions all over the Calumet region and
especially at this joint where it was
rumored that several hundred men had
been discharged, has revealed the fact
that this great industrial center has
been little affected by the recent f1nan-
ciaI disturbance.
The only men that the Inland Steel
company has discharged was part on
the new additions that are being made
to the plant.
Some of this work, it was thought,
could wait until money becomes a lit
tie more plentiful. AS to the men en-
ployed in the plant, they are all work
ing as regularly as ever and it is said
the company has enough contracts to
keep them busy for a year longer.
Bridge Work VIII Continue.
The work on the five bascuIe bridges
that are being constructed across the
may be stated positively that it will
continue until the bridges are in. In
the neighborhood of 500 men are en-
ployed on this job and they are all
getting good wages.
The other mills are hiring the reg
ular quote of men and the building
operations throughout the city are
continuing undated. Indiana Harbor
has never been so prosperous as it is
today and the confidence in the city is
as great as it was before the present
furry.
OF course real estate activity is not
so great but that is to be expected
during the winter months and it is
the general opinion that when spring
comes there will be as many sales as
ever
In Gary the weather more than any
/ thing else is putting an end to building
activity but there is the greatest con
/ hdence in the future of the city and
everybody is optimistic.

IS MARRIAGE MILL
A POLITICAL ISSUE?
Those Who Want Hammond
to Benefit by Business
Say It Is.
WILL FIGHT IT OUT AT POLLS
Trouble May Cause a Big Split in
Republican Party Ranks
Hereabouts.

The marriage mill fight continues
to boom and each day brings forth
some promising developments The
latest and most interesting is the re-
tention by Judges Prest and Jordan OF
Attorney Joseph Ibach as their legal
counsel Mr.. Ibach has been asked to
fight the case 10 a finish. The first
matter that was brought to his at
tention was the question of the legality
of issueing marriage liscenses in the
city of Hammond.
This morning the context of the type
written opinion of Attorney Ibach was
made public. and contrary to that of
Attorney Bomberger. purports to show
that, the business can be carried on
legally in this city On the strength
or this opinion the matter will be taken
into court at once and the complex
question thrashed out to a finish Both
sides feel confident that they are in the
right and are determined TO prove it.
Since the widespread publication of
the difficulty at Hammond it has de-
ties they are facing the same question.
1t was stated today that throughout the
state of New York they are fighting
and unable to solve this same question.
The interest throughout the county
therefore is increased in the Hammond
Crown Point contention therefore be-
cause of the fact that it is more serious
here.
1t is claimed by many and strenu-
ously denied by Clerk Shortridge that
the action of taking the business away
from Hammond and keeping it away is
the result of political maneuvers rather
than the enforcement of the statutes OF
the law. Consequently it is feared
that in the near future that there vii
| be two mighty factions formed in tn,
republic party. Peculiarly enough the,
viii be composed of the marriag,
llicense advocates VS., the antf-marriag,
! licenses as concerns their issuance ii
Hammond. This. in a measure tends I,
show the bitterness of the struggle.
Should the court decide however, tha
the licenses can be legally issued ii
/ this city, it will not be compulso
upon Clerk Shortridge to issue then
here. Should he so decide however
and the mill then be brought bacl
to Hammond. the peace pipe will thel
/ be smoked by the contending factions
and the matter forever forgotten.
On the other hand If II is provel
legal and then is not brought back t,
Hammond the fight will continue to b
waged in the greatest political war tha
has been carried in this part OF tn
country for some time. If the cour
renders an adverse decision. the matte
will also be dropped in this case, an
the people of Hammond who are con
cerned Will bow to the inevitable.

Many thrilling features marked the
spectacular fire at the Standard Steel
settlement yesterday when one of the
buildings valued at $4,000 burned to
the ground and rendered homeless be-
tween fifteen and twenty families. Had
there been a heavy wind blowing,
there is no doubt but what several
other buildings would have been
burned and possibly the whole settle
ment as all OF the structures are
highly infammable. 1t is thought that
the fire originated by the crossing of
two electric wires. The building was
fully insured.
Louis Einsler, the policeman detailed
on this beat. was the discoverer of the
blaze and turned in the alarm. It was
not the blaze, however. which attracted
his attention, it was the frantic efforts

building in pitching her household ef-
fects out of the window. without

Gradually each family down the row
of apartments began to realize that
the building was ablaze and soon there
began rain of bed quilts and wash

windows, the entire length of the
building. Several Of the women, how
ever, were fortunate enough to be
able to carry their entire outlay o1

WHEN THE KAISER TRAVELS.
No Stops Made and the August Pas.
senger Never Tires.

When Emperor William travels by
rail in Germany he insists that his
train shall go to its destination with
out stopping. The time Of departure
Is fixed in such a way that his nights
rest is not interfered with, the start
being made either in the morning or
shortly before his usual bedtime. His
special train is fitted up SO comfort
ably, according to his own tastes, that
he feels quite at home in 1t. On en-
tering 1t, should it be early in tire day,
he goes to his study and sits at his
writing table, where the rays OF an
electric lamp fall on a beautifully
framed photograph of the empress and
their children.
He first hears reports from the varl-
ministers, then signs documents,
looks through the newspapers and de-
votes a period to reading. Then he
summons a secretary and dispatches
letters In several languages to other
monarchs or personal friends. He
often consumes several hours. Though
the sentences are spoken rapidly, cor
rections are never necessary. The
emperor has the gift Of concentrating
all his faculties on the subject in hand
and he expresses himself as precisely
In the foreign languages as in his
mother tongue. The meals are taken
at the usual time and the dinner may
not last more than an hour. After
dinner the emperor assemblies his
suite for an unconstrained chat, ac-
companied by beer and cigars.
The bedroom Is very simple. His
majesty always sleeps well In the
