dressed by Mr.. l. c. Berger. the presi-
dent of the National Slavonian Union

a great many matters upon which the
foreigners of this district have had
some doubts.
There were several other speakers
and the meeting was great success
in every particular. The president of
the Republican club in East Hammond
and his co-workers have been doing
good work and they are confident of
their ability to secure a good repub-
lican majority in this district
The Slavonian union. of which Mr..
Berger is president has $4,000 mem

GARY TO GET
ANOTHER THEATRE
Theatrical Men Visit City
and Look for Theatri-
cal Site.
START BUTTERFIELD CIRCUIT
Hammond and Gary to Enjoy Con-
tinuous Theatrical Performances
in the Near Future.

w. 6. ButterfeId, of the Theatrical
Enterprise company, and DIR. f. Edwin
Bell of Hammond, were I'm Gary yes
terday looking for site for theater.
Mr. Butterfield and Mr.. Bell plan to
build one of the finest theaters In
northern Indiana In Hammond.
They have already secured a site in
Hammond, and Mr.. Bell said today
that there was not the question of a
doubt that the theatcr would be built
here this spring.
1t is the purpose of Mr.. Butterfield
to build another fine theater in Gary
and If a proper site can be secured
the building may be constructed at
once.
Books Vaudeville Attractions.
Mr.. Butterfield books vaudeville at
fractions and he would make both the
Hammond and Gary theaters continuous
performance houses. Mr.. Butterfield
has great faith in Hammond and Gary
and believes that with the industrial
progress that is already assured the
theaters can be made a success.
These men will wait until after cleo
tion, however, before they will take
any definite action along the lines OF
the Gary project. Mr.. Butterfield be
| lieves that Gary and Hammond viii
maintain such an independent atti-
tude that, although they are only nint
miles apart they will be just as dis.
| tinctive fields for theatrical enterprise
| as though they were widely separated
| On the other hand, they will be 81
close together and in few years the
/ transportation facilities between the
! two cities will be so good that it viii
cost practically nothing to send com
pany of actors from one city to an
/ other.
This will be big item and viii
make the Butterfield circuit all th'
! more valuable. Mr.. Butterheld is al
ready the lessee of several theaters il

BELIEF STRONG THAT
He WAS MURDERED
M. Passerilli, Indianapolis Consul,
Visits Gary and Announces That
Ali Doubts As to Countryman's
Fate Are Set at Rest By His
Discovery.

An investigation by NJ. Passcrf1lo,
veaIed the fact that Peraldo Giovalen-
thus. the prosperous Italian merchant,
who was visiting this country and is
known TO have had seven thousand dol
lars his person, was first brought
to Hammond, where he was made drunk
and drugged and was then taken to
and placed I'm a box car.
Some time ago the consul came to
Gary and later to Hammond and tried
to learn what had become of the mer-
chant. All he could find out was that
the conductor on an Erie train had
let a well-dressed man, In company
with two others. off at Hammond be-
cause he had suddenly become deathly
sick.
In some manner NJ Passerilli, the
consul. learned that Peraldo Giovalen-
thus had boarded a street car for South
Chicago. He went to that place and
stated his mi ission to the officers there.
Description Satisfies Consul.
a search was made or the ponce rec
ords and it was discovered that a man
answering to the description of Peraldo
Giovalentius had been found in in a
box car, murdered.
So perfect is the description that NJ
Passerilli has no doubt that 1t was the
body of the italian merchant, who
came to this country, was spotted by
thieves and then foully murdered for
the 81 1000 which was found on his per-
son.
! The Italian consul has no idea as to
the Identity of the men who carried
out their black handed crime. He went
| to Gary and tried to learn something
more about the terrible story, but he
could learn nothing.
The chances are that the murderers
will never be captured, and even if they
were it would be very difficult to con-
Wet them of the crime. The Italians
of the whole region are interested in
tn case and would aid in bringing the
murderers to justice of they could.

Says Non Partisan
Magazine Today.

New York, Oct 17.-Bryan's pros
poets of election are not bright, ac-
cording to a forecast published in the
current number of Success Magazine.
The forecast is based on information as
to local political conditions received
from $4,000 members of Success Maga-
zines auxiliary board of life sub
scribers. Special reference is given
to probable results in the doubtful
states.
Summarizing the reports received.
the prediction is made that Taft will
surely have 29s electoral votes, or Sc
more than 242 required for election.
Bryan will have 161 electoral votes and
"a votes are classed as doubtful.
In the North Atlantic states Taft is
accredited with 1876 electoral votes.
Bryan with twelve. and eight, those OF
Maryland, are in doubt. OF the middle
states Taft is shown to have all but
Kentucky. Mississippi and Nebraska,
the latter alone being considered
doubtful. The total of Taft electoral
votes in this group is 134 and OF
Bryan votes 81.
Nevada eis the only western state
given to Bryan. Montana is consid-
cred doubtful with chances favoring
Taft, while Colorado is expected to &C

in the west. barring doubtful states, is

that ministers. church people, business
men, farmers and others who are go

where betting boards are maintained.
They point out that the bettors this
year are supporters of the democratic
ticket and that they judge the whole

1t is true that the fellows around the
boards are talking Marshall and demo-
cratic success, although previously
they have been half and half repub-

STANDARD STEEL GAR
co. GETS MATERIAL
Indications Are That Plant
Will Run By First
of Month.
FOREIGNERS ARE FLOCKING IN
Concern Already Has Orders For
Several Thousand Cars-More
Orders Coming.
FOREIGNERS ARE FLOCKING IN

For the past week there have been
dozens of carloads of iron and steel
received at the plant of the Standard
Steel Car company in this city and
the shipment of material into the plant
will continue for week or ten days.
In all it is expected that there will
be several hundred carloads received
at the local plant before 1t opens. AS
to the date of starting; that can not
be definitely fixed, it can only be ap-
proximated.
If everything goes we'll IT is pos
sible that the plant will be started by
the 25 of this month. IT, however,
there are any unavoidable delays the
plans may not be started until the first
of November.
But the arrival of a large number
of carloads of steel is the best indi
cation that the starting of the plant
will not be delayed very much longer.
The foreigners are beginning to ar
rive in this city in large numbers with
the idea of securing employment when
the plant opens and they seem to know
by some mysterious instinct that there
is to be work for them in a little
while.
One thing is certain, there will be
plenty of work in Hammond this win
ter and it is expected that the mer-
chants and business men will be able
to make up for the lack of activity
that has prevailed all summer.

orders for several thousand cars an6

BARBER IS BACK FROM

Winter in Florida.

Frank Cichoracki is back among
Hammond friends after an absence of
four months. which he spent at Sheri-
dan, Wyoming. At the time when he
left he was employed as a barber in
Oscar Plageman's shop. He made a
change of climate and profited by 1t,
returning to Hammond much healthier
than when he left.
He WILL however. not stay in Ham
mond very long, as he has been offered
a desirable position In Petersburg, Fla.
and he will undoubtedly avail himself
of the opportunity of spending the
winter months in the south.

by, where they has one of the best
political meetings of the campaign.

there shows a number of republicans
and that every man whose name was
on the poll book was present at the
meeting.
The speeches were all good and the
enthusiasm manifested was gratifying.
Republicans there swear by Tom
Grant and they indicated in no uncer-
tain maner that they prefer repub-
lican good fellow to democrat.

down there only wish that they could

MAN NEWMAN
HAS A NEW PLAN
Proposes a Filtering System
For the City of Hammond
Which Is Practical.
OTHER PLACES AS EXAMPLES
Superintendent Kasper Has So
luton of the Pure Drink
ing Water.
OTHER PLACES AS EXAMPLES

Apropos of the movement for a sani-
tary district which is destined to until
mateIy give the people of the Calu-
net region pure drinking Water Coun-
Gilman William Newman has n plan
which he hopes will be thoroughly dis
cussed and finally adopted.
He proposes a hltering system for
the city of Hammond. to be established
in direct connection with the pumping
station. Mr.. Newman has made a study
of altering systems in various cities
and finds that they give good satisfac-
tion.
Thinks He Has Solution.
He believes his plan to be the best
solution of pure drinking water and
is very earnest about it. He believes
that the filter system should be built
like those in other cities. They are
made by digging huge cisterns and
partly filing them with gravel. The
original lake water with all its pollu-
tion and bacteria is to be pumped into
these cisterns and allowed to seep
through the gravel into reservoirs from
where is to be pumped into the city.
Mr.. Newman cites as his examples such
cities as Danville and Peoria and a
number of others that he has visited
He says that in these cities which are
larger than Hammond. the problem of
securing pure drinking water is solved
to the satisfaction of every body. These
cities are located on rivers where the
water is muddy. but after passing
through the altering system it is pure
and clear.
| May Meet Opposition.
Mr should he h
plans will undoubtedly meet with con
siderable opposition from people wht
/ have also given the system study.
A TIMES reporter some time agt
asked Jacob Kasper, superintendent o
the Hammond water works, what hi:
| opinion as to altering systems were
Mr.. Kasper without knowing that Mr.
Newman would champion such a sys

TO the conclusion long ago that as
purifier for muddy river water the!

perfect enough to take out germs 70

Mr.. Kasper says, The only solution
for the problem of pure drinking waite
is to keep the sewage out of the lax
and extend the intake from its pres

UncaI1ed For in Sanitary District.
Should the scheme for a santar.
district ever materialize. and judgini
from the determined efforts that hav
been made to promote the project
will. Mr.. Newman's plans would b
uncalled for. They would possibl
solve the problem for Harmon
quicker than the the sanitary distric
but this would still leave the entir
district unprotected, and should tn
iltering system not work as perfect
as Mr. Newman thinks it would Ham
nond's water supply would again b
polluted by the sewage poured into tn
the lake by the neighboring cities. 1
the meantime Hammond would hav
had the undesirable experience of a

until such a time when facts and fig
ures will have been procured for Q

PHILADELPHIA. Pa, Sept s.
Twenty men were precipitated this

on a scaffold thirty feet In the air when
the seanolding broke. throwing them
into the basement and covering them
with bricks, mortar. stone and other
debris.
Sergeant Dwyer and Policeman Shaw,
OF the Ninth district, sent IN hurry
calls for the patrol wagons and an am
bulance frCm St. Joseph's Hospital. The
injured men were quickly dug from
the mass OF material that covered them
and hurried TO ST. Joseph's Hospital. At
that institution, the surgeons said they
believed all OF the injured would re-
cover. but that it was too early to de-
teTmine the extent OF internal injuries,
sustained by some OF the more seriously
hurt.
The seahold broke a few minutes
after O'Clock this morning. Just as
the men began work for the day. The
noise of the crashing scaffold was heard
for two blocks. and created great excite
ment until it was ascertained that none
of the worlImen had been killed
After an investigation into the cause
OF the collapse of the scafOId, il was
said that the workmen had overloaded
Is with material, brick, and mortar.
They were working at the top OF the
wall, putting on the finishing courses,
thirty feet high, when the collapse
came.
