HINT EMBEzLEMENT
Theory Discredited, However, as Alb
sentee's Property is Worth More
Than What He Took.

Nothing has yet been heard of Bar
ney Landsman the missing Chicago
jeweler, who disappeared March 18th,
when he left for Indiana Harbor, Ind.
Yesterday the search was renewed in
Chicago and the police are doing all
they can to locate the missing man.
They are of the opinion that Landsman
is being detained somewhere at Indi-
ana Harbor or else that he has been
murdered or kidnapped. The reward Of
$500 offered by B. Halpern has been
doubled by Landsman's father in law
John Rosenfeldt who lives at 136b
Fowler street Chicago.
Offering an Additional $500.
It has since been learned that Lands
man went to the store of Louis Ritter
which is on Milwaukee avenue, for the
purpose of selling him some small
diamonds but according to Ritters
statement the deal was not concluded
and he left his store saying he was go
ing back to the office in the Chap
lain building. Latter in the day he
again called at the store of Ritter and
offered to sell the stones at a reduced
rate.
Still latter, Ritter saw him again
and he said that some had broken into
his house and stolen some clothes and
he was going to the police station to
report the loss. This is the last time
Ritter saw Landsman
Admits Money Shortage.
Some days ago Landsman is said to
have told one of his friends that he
had to meet a note of $500 and did not
see how he could get the money in
time to pay 1t. 1t has been hinted that
Landsman not having the money to
meet his obligations has absconded
with the $4,000 and the diamonds. This
version is not given any credence
among his relatives who say that his
property, if sold would amount to sew
eral times the amount that has disap-
peared with him.
The police of Indiana Harbor. Whit
ing and Hammond are keeping a sharp
lookout to get any facts that will To-
cate the missing jeweler. 1t is not be-
Heved that Landsman has been in
Hammond from what can be learned
by the police.

Points marriage mill is so we'll oiled
that the rough places are reduced to
a minimum, but occasionally some
thing occurs that gives cupid a pretty
hard bump. One of these occurred
yesterday. Early in the forenoon, a
couple telephoned Judge Nicholson
from Oak Park, Ill, asking if he could
find time in the afternoon to perform
a ceremony. His reply was favorable
and he put them down on his waiting
list.
They arrived on the noon train but
the bride-to- be. who was very young
and wore a plaid travelling suit and
a look of innocence, had changed her
ideas of matrimony and was reluct-
ant to go ahead with the ceremony.
Persundes Her to Visit Clerk.
Finally after much persuasion, the
groom induced her to go to the clerk s
Office where they gave their names as
Arthur W. Rupp, age 81, and Gwendo-
line Mccormick, age IS. When it came
to answering the long list of questions
that fool marriage law requires, the
young lady's heart failed her, and she
appeared " l1e deputy MISS BLACK

"Oh, dear, I don't know what 1 had

deputy. Would you get married ii

We'll. I don't know what I would

Finally the license was made out and
with the document safely in his breast

Gwendoline. II wont get married to-

All of the employees of the Republic
Iron and Steel work at East Chicago,
went on a strike last night at 6 o'clock
The officials of the company declare
that they will board up the doors and
windows of the plant and manufacture
their steel at the st. Louis and Toledo
mills unless the men return to work
within two days.
The Republic Iron and Steel works
provides employment for 1900 men,
the monthly pay roll is $4,000 per
month and with the labor situation as
serious as it is the people of East Chi
cago are confronted with the most seri-
Gus crisis in the history of the city.
The strike situation is a serious one
for the reason that there is no organi-
zation and no leadership among the
men. The men quit in gangs of fifty
and 100. Each gang has its leader,
every leader is making separate de-
mands and 1t is impossible TO count on
any one or anybody even when set
tlement is made with the men.

Plans For the New Plant are Ready

A $2,00o,000 oil plant, to be known as
the Wood River refinery. is to be erect
ed on the east bank of the Mississippi
river between st. Louis and Alton, by
the Standard Oil company. A site, en-
bracing nearly 400 acres has been pur-
chased at a cost of nearly 100000.
Work on the plant will begin at once
and it will be completed in a year
The Standard Oil company, through
its st. Louis agent, Delos r. Haynes,
has just closed deal by which it Sc
cured possession of a tract of valuable
land on the south bank of Wood river,
upon which it is the purpose to erect
one Of the largest refineries in the
country.
The property was purchased in the
name of c. w. Martyr. Mr.. Haynes
has for several months been quietly Sc
curing options in the land until a
sufficient amount was secured to meet
all the requirements of the proposed
plant and to provide for possible future
extensions for a generation to come.
Mr.. Haynes said yesterday that the
Offices of the company, who had made
a thorough inspection of the property.
considered it an ideal site for the pur-
pose Of an oil refinery and were highly
pleased with the success of the deal.
They considered themselves quite for
tunate in securing such suitable prop
erty on the Mississippi river front with
in IS miles of st. Louis, just four miles
south of Alton, and nearly opposite the
mouth of the Missouri river.
The location affords unlimited facili-
ties for river transportation from the
water front and two of the large trunk
line railroads pass through the proper
ty, entering ST. Louis, with switches al
ready constructed. An electric railway
running from St. Louis to Alton and
tracks of the St. Louis Terminal asso-
citation also pass through 1t, affording
ample shipping facilities.
Mr.. Haynes stated that the property
had been purchased outright and paid
for. and that the deeds are now of
record. and that there is no doubt of the
intention of the company to erect the
plant. as all the plans for the plant and
contracts for its construction were ar
ranged for before the purchase of the
property was consummated. The con-
tract provides for the completion of one
plant within one pear-St. Louis Re-

Runaway Marriages Seem
the Real Thing in
Indiana Harbor.

Commonwealth avenue in Indiana
Harbor evidently is the headquarters
of Dan Cupid. three elopements having
started from there within the last three
weeks. The last couple to bring in
damaging evidence in regard to the
winged little fellows hiding place are
Edward Hiner and Miss Cassie Baker.
They quietly slipped off to Chicago
yesterday and returned in the evening
to beg the pardon and blessing Of their
parents. For time the mother of the
bride was unnerved at the action of her
only daughter who is also a quite sue
cessful artist with a promising career.
but later showered her motherly bless
ing upon the bride wishing her god
speed on her honeymoon trip to Florida.
AS Dan Cupid has not been seen IN
person, 1t is now thought in Indiana
Harbor that he has been doing his
effectal work by means Of a germ
that he distributed and which fattened
in the early and mild spring weather.
There is a rumor in Commonwealth
avenue that the germ has already
gripped another couple who may dis
appear in the very near future.
Eugene Briney and Miss Ethel Hiner
eloped two weeks ago. they also hav-
ing lived in Commonwealth avenue but
were preceded by Maurice Lambers and
Miss Jessie Ballard Of the same neigh
borhood.
The three couples now married are
prominent in the best circles In Indiana
Harbor and two Of them have re-
turned to make their homes there.
IN the meantime the residents in the
stricken" street are studying up new
name for it, one that in their minds
! would be more appropriate.

ize but do no Harm.

AS the result OF revolver fight be-
tween Chief Of Police Joseph Martin
OF Gary, officer KIopf and Mike Lie
micz who was caught breaking into a
car, the criminal records of the city Of
Gary contain a story that is the equal
of any Diamond Dick or Nick Carter
tale ever told between the covers of
the most lurid yellow back
Martin and Klopf were crossing the
Lake Shore track at Gary after dark
when they noticed the form of a man
some distance down the track They
at once proceeded to investigate and
when they arrived at a point opposite
some cars they saw a man crouching
under one of them.
Two companions of the fellow who
had been hiding on the other side of
the cars then tried to make their es-
cape by running up the embankment
to the north
FIOpf I'm Pursuit.
Oficer Klopf sprang under one of
the cars in pursuit of the fleeing men
leaving Martin to look after the man
who was first seen.
This fellow who later proved to be
Liemicz ran down the track with Mar
tin after him. The Gary chief pulled
his revolver and after commanding the
fleeing man to stop fired two shots in
the air. The second shot and the
rapid gait of the officer brought Lie
micz to standstill but instead of sur
rendering he quickly turned upon the
officer and pointing a Colts SO calibre
revolver at Martin, pulled the trigger
twice.
1t clicked both times without dis
charging the cartridge and this un-
doubtedly saved Martins life. The
ieu ghty- chief did not falter, even with
a revolver pointed in his face but at
tackled Liemicz and threw up his hands
with such force that the gun flew from
his grasp.
Just at this time Klopf who had
heard the shots and abandoned the
chase for fear that the chief might be
having difficulty with his man, came
to the rescue and together they man
aged to subdue the prisoner.
Too Tired to Walk.
Liemicz was so fatigued by the run
ming and his tussle with the officers
that he was unable to walk to the
station and had to be carried by the
officers.
The prisoner was bound over to the
circuit court on $4,000 bond, by Justice
Huber who gave him his preliminary
hearing
To add to the excitement mob of
Gary men gathered around the jail
with the avowed intention of breaking
in and giving the prisoner a bit of

prevailed upon them to desist.
Today when the prisoner was about
to be put aboard the train to be
brought to this city where he expected
TO be transferred to the county Jail at
Crown Point another crowd gathered.
this time composed of his friends. who
it was feared would make an attepmt
TO release him.
Liemicz is we'll known in Gary
among his associates. He has never
been known to work and it was gener-
ally known that he run blind tiger"
from which he distributed bad liquor
to his countrymen.
A clew to the identity of the COM
panions of Liemicz has been discov-
cred and IT is expected that they will
be under arrest soon.

NEW BANK BUILDING
At CROWN POINT
Peoples State Directors
Purchase Lot and Decide
to Erect Own Home.
Especial to Lake County Times).

Crown Point. March 19.-At meet
ing of the directors Of the Peoples
State Bank last evening it was decided
to erect a new modern bank structure
as home for the institution.
The banks lease on its present
quarters in the Altman block viii ex-
pire in a short time, and the idea of
erecting their new building has been
under consideration for some time. A
few days ago the Holton property on
Main street was purchased Of B. +.
Hayes by Henry Anderson, cashier Of
the institution, and it was surmised
that the banks would build.
Last night the directors by IN
aninous vote decided to purchase the
propertv for the banks use, and i'm
mediately begin the construction Of a
$4,000 building No pains or ex-
pense will be spared to make the new
building complete in every particular.
Since the election Of J. f. Wheeler as
president. the Peoples Bank has been
making rapid strides. The deposits
have increased nearly 100000 IN the
last two months and the price OF
stock has advanced six points and
none of it is TO be had at the increased
rates.
When their new building is COM
pIeted the banks officials expect to
have a model home.

HANLY TO SEE ROOSEVELT.
VIII Talk over Matters Pertaining to
Railroad Regulation in Indiana.

Indianapolis. Ind, March 1S.-Gov-
ernor Hanly left unexpectedly for the
east and it is believed in state official
circkes that he has gone to Washington
at the request of President Roosevelt
to explain the reasons for the hostile
railroad legislation of the recent ses-
sion. a number of bills were enacted
into laws and among them were some
that the railroad companies regard as
specially hurtful to their interests
Chief among those is the shippers
law, that requires railroads TO move
freight at an average of fifty miles a
day, provides for a reciprocal demur-
riage and lays the companies liable to
damages if cars from connecting roads
are not received and forwarded
promptly The powers Of the state
railroad commission were also sensibly
enlarged over the protests of the COM
panles
As President Roosevelt wishes TO
know the causes for hostile legislation
and proposed legislation in many states.
it is believed that he desires to be post
ed on the situation in Indiana, whose
Legislature he's Just adjourned and
that the governor has been asked to
rive the desired Information.

workingmen's demand in every par
ticular would make IT impossible to
compete with concerns paying a lower
scale of wages.
THE strike must be settled by
Thursday" said Mr.. Crane. "or we will
close up the mills indefinitely and take
care of the extra work by running
extra ships in our plants in St Louis
and Toledo. We have reached the
limit of patience in dealing with these
men and we are not going TO be die
tated to any longer"
May Involve Other Wills.
Perhaps the most serious phase OF
the whose situation is the fact that
the trouble is rapidly spreading ana il
Is likely to involve the men at the
Interstate Iron and Steel works and
at the Inland Steel company's plant.
If the disafrection should spread TO
these concerns it would involve 1000
or 5000 men. and would bring bust
ness in East Chicago and Indiana Har-
Dor TO a standstill
So far with the exception of the
small riot which occurred few days
ago, there has been very little violence.
Chief OF Police Higgins today secuted
the idea that at any time it would be
necessary to call upon the Hammond
or any other police department. lie
said before he would do that he wenid
call upon the sheriff or deputize the
citizens but that the East Chicago po~
lice were able to handle the situation
at all times.
The situation is so serious that the
matter of organizing a board of arbi-
tration has been suggested and the
trouble may be settled in this manner.
