SOCIETY TO Be STARTLED
Callahan Divorce Case in
Gary Will Make People
Sit Up and Listen.

An interesting divorce case, for
which the papers are in preparation,
promises to develop in Gary this week
The petitioner in the case will be
Frank Callahan, a driver for the Slick
laundry, living in the Dubitz building
on Broadway. He will name a we'll
known physician in Gary as the core
spondent and will file the complaint
against his wife on statutory grounds.
Heer behavior, according to the hus-
band in relation to the correspondent
has been anything but becoming to a
dutiful wife. The latter at the present
time is said to be in Cincinnati, know
ing. however, that her husband will file
the divorce proceedings. He says that
on many occasions when she left town
that he learned that the Correspondent

ton, is a widower.

ANOTHER PRAIRIE FIRE
Police Department Takes
Chemical Wagon to
Threatening Blaze.

The Gary fire department was called
out yesterday afternoon at 1 o'clock
when report was sent in by telephone
that the prairie at Seventeenth and
Madison streets, together with several
of the cottages and shacks in the vi
entity, were on fire. The police depart
ment according to custom, hailed the
first man that passed with a team and
pressed him into service. The chemi :
cal engine was hurried to the scene of
the blaze, which by the time it ar
rived three-quarters of a mile had
nearly been extinguished.
None of the houses in the vicinity
had been touched by the flames, con-
trary to the report telephoned to the
police station, although the forest fire
which was raging looked dangerous
for a time. Several of the women OF
the neighborhood had made a hard
fight against the flames, which threat
ened to destroy their homes. and by
the time the fire department arrived
they had the blaze so we'll under con-
troll that there was no necessity of US
ing the chemicals at all.
The women in the vicinity. who were
very much excited at the time. told the
burn up when they sent in the alarm
that they did to the police station
Several of them accused a negro who
lives in a shack next to theirs of set
ting the woods on fire for the purpose
of burning them out. but this story ives
doubted by the police.

FATHER WILL FILE
SUIT FOR HIS SON
VIII Claim Damages For
Boys Injuries Sustained
on Interurban.
THE LAD FALLS FROM A CAR
Conductor on Lake Shore-South Bend
Line is Charged With Neglect
of His Duties.
Especial to THE TIMES,


East Chicago, Ind, Nov. 20.--As the
result of a conductor failing to give
the proper signal to stop the car, Nick
Vuksanovitch, formerly a member of
the East Chicago police force, will file
a suit for damages against the c., L. S.
& S. B. line. The damages were sus-
tanned by Peter, the Z year old son of
Mr. Vuksanovitch and consisted of sew
eral bad bruises about the face and
hands
According to the story told by the lit
tie fellow, he was riding on one of the
Harbor branch cars with two COM
panions of his own age Their fares
had been paid, and as they neared
Alexander avenue-on which the injur-
ed lad lives, he gave the customary
high sign" to the conductor. Con-
trary to the rules of the company the
conductor was on the front platform
with the motorman and failed to heed
the proffered signal. The car slowed
down slightly at the crossing. and the
three lads jumped from the car. Two
of the youngster succeeded in landing
safely, but the Vuksanovitch boy was
rolled for several feet in the stones
along the right of way 1t was feared
at first that bones had been broken BY
the fall. but an examination by DR.. A
G. Schleiger resulted in the informa
ton that the lads injuries consisted
mainly of painful bruises. While the
lads face is badly swollen, his con
dition is improving and he will be in.
convenienced for but a few days.

PIG IRON IS ADVANCING
Steel Situation Over the
Country Is Very
Hopeful.

Cleveland, Nov. 20.-The Iron Trade
review says: The two extremes of it's
products-pig iron and old material
are furnishing the most interesting de-
velopments of the present moment in
the iron and steel industry. The mar
kets for both these materials are fol-
lowing the line of the unusual. under
the condition of only medium, activity
now holding forth in the general in
dustry.
Supported by optimism on the part Of
producers. to which the sellers are con-
tributing by their hope of a larger
consuming power in the near future,
the pig iron market is steadily ad-
vancing in price This condition has
lead to more less speculative activity
among buyers which many furnaces. by
adopting conservative policies of SELL
ing, are attempting to discourage in be-
half of a healthy and more gradual
ultimate recovery.
The old material situation appears
much more artificial. The advancing
| level is directly charged to the domina-
ton of the dealers of the country who
are absorbing much of the limited cur
rent offerings and are adding these to
the immense tonnage already held in
yards for profitable uplift of the mar
ket. The abnormal state of affairs pre-
vailing was illustrated the last week
by action of bar iron makers in rails
ing the price of their product 50 a tor
to base of $3.50 Pittsburg, because
of the high level of wrought scrap
The tone of the iron and steel situa.
tion as a whole is quite hopeful and
a slow but sure recovery is more clear.

DIES At MERCY
HOSPITAL YESTERDAY
Victim of Gary Interurban
Was Injured Internally
It Seems.

Owing to the injuries he received
by being struck while alighting from
Gary and Interurban car in Gary,
last Sunday night. Michael Kurovich
died at Mercy hospital yesterday morn
ing.
1t was thought AT first that Kuro-
vich's condition was not at all serious,
but it is the opinion of the physician
that when he fell to the pavement he
received internal injuries. The in
quest will be held this morning and
the conductor and motorman who were
in charge of the car at the time of
the accident. 1t is not thought they
will be held responsible, as the man
alighted from the car while it was in
motion and was slightly intoxicated at
the time. The inquest is being held by
Deputy Coroner Templin.

CITIES
NOW GET
TOGETHER
Toleston and Gary Quit
Fighting and Bill Will Be
Introduced Making Both
One City at Next Session
of Legislature.

TolestOn has given up its bitter fight
against it's stronger sister city, Gary.
All indications now point to the prob
ability that when the next state legis-
Iature meets that bill will be passed,
with the consent of both Gary and Toll
eston, that the latter town be incOr-
pornted in Gary.
Toles ton has already taken vote on
the matter in the way of a petition,
which has been signed by a majority
of the people in the town, thus signi-
flying that they are willing to become
part of Gary.
Petition in Gary Today.
The Toleston petition was sent to
Gary this morning, where it was start
ed out in quest of signatures to get
the consent of the majority of people in
Gary for the consolidation. The petit
ton asks that Toleston be permitted
to come under the benefcent rule of
Gary, and points out that the interests
Of the two municipalities are so alike
that it would result in mutual benefit
Issues Are Dead.
This having been the precise object
over which Gary and Toleston have
fought bitterly, and the issue now be-
ing dead, it is expected that a major
ity of the signers will be gained in a
short time 1t is estimated that it will
not take more than ten days to circu-
late the petition in Gary and after that
provided there is a majority, an cleo
ton will be held, one in Gary and the
second in Toleston. In Toleston the
issue will be whether the Toleston peo-
pie want to come under the jurisdic-
ton of Gary; while in the latter city
the issue will be whether Gary wants
to incorporate Toleston. The vote, Of
course, is thought to be mere formal
! ity and that it will decide in favor OF
the Toleston annexation.
Both Communities Benefited.
Once the people of the two cite.
having given their opinion, a bill viii
be prepared and presented to the mex
legislature.
In Toleston. the petition has the sup
port of sub men like Otto Borman anC
/ Smith and Bader all members of thu
| Toleston bank, and in fact of all thu
leading men in the community.
The consolidation. it is argued. boil
in Toleston and Gary, will be a grea
benefit to both corporations. Tolestol
will gain by the prestige that Gary ha
secured for itself, while Gary will
grow in population and size until it
borders will reach to Hammond.

BLIND PIG CASES
ON TRIAL TODAY
Four Boarding Bosses Charged With
Illegal Liquor Selling.

The trial of the blind pig cases,
where the four boarding bosses were
arrested for selling liquor without a
license, has been set for this evening
in Judge Hubers court. The police be-
lieve that from the evidence obtained
that three of the men will be bound
over to the superior court and that one
of them may be released. The men who
are charged with running a blind pig
will be bound over to the superior court
because of the fact that the penalty
for this offense is greater than the
Justice has Jurisdiction to impose.

MORE SCHOOL LEGISLATION.
Cotton Proposes High School and Nor
NAL School Inspectors.

Fassett A Cotton. state superin-
tendent of public instruction. in his
annual report, which will be handed to
the governor within a few days, will
recommend that the next legislature
pass a law creating the positions of
high school inspector and normal school
inspector.
Mr. Cotton believes the state board
of deucation should be relieved of some
of it's duties. The law passed by the
last legislature, fixing the salaries and
qualifications of teachers requires
teachers to have high school and nor
NAL school training. This makes ne
cessary the inspection of the high
schools and normal schools of the state.
This work has ben done by the state
board.

the Calumet river north of Hegewisch
there is a pontoon wagon bridge.
Warned of Danger.
Just at the time the party arrived at
the bridge it was swung open to per-
nit tug and a scow to pass. The au
tomobilists were warned of the danger,
but it seems the driver of the machine
was too intoxicated to heed the warn
ing and the automobile plunged over
the edge of the bridge into the river.
The whole accident was seen by the
bridge tender and one or two other
spectators and they at once went to
the rescue. They managed to pull six
of the victims of the accident out of
the water, but the other two were
drowned before help could reach them.
The machine was lifted out of the
river by improvised derricks, and it
was not until 10 o'clock in the morn
ing that the bodies of Miss Margaret
Atkins and Joseph Meters were recov-
cred.
