There is no intention of cutting
prices to Kill competition, but the or

market a higher grade Of steel and
meet any price that can be made any
where. Steel prices in Great Britain.
for instance, are at low level. The
same is true in almost every other
country on the globe But the manu-

Experiments to be completed IN a
short time will practically revolution

armor plate and practically everything
else in the way of steel
The purchase of the Schoen St el
Car Wheel company is a part of the
working out of this plan, as the Car

FIRE CAUSES LOSS
$4,000 BUILDING
Fine Residence Of Louis
Dahtman is Destroyed
Origin a Mystery.
MRS. DAHLMAN IS INJURED
Six Hundred Dollar Piano Is Burned
and Many Other Valuable Pieces
Of Furniture Are Lost.

Fire of unknown origin yesterday
totally destroyed the fashionable res
idence of Louis Dahlman. 1898 West
Niney third street, entailing a loss Of
$1,000
Mrs. Dahlman, Who was in at the
time the fire started. tried to save
several valuable pieces of furniture and
was taken from the house in a badly
exhausted condition. The fire was first
noticed by little girl who told officer
Lyons of the Grand Crossing station
that there was a fire down the street.
/ The officer Immediately turned in the
alarm within a few minutes the fire
companies arrived on the scene and in
spite of the efforts of two engines the
flames continued to gain Roadway and
the entire interior was Quilted and the
majority of the heavy timbers used in
the frame was Destroyed
The house has only ben built about
year and was one of the most ideal
houses in the neighborhood. Before
the flames had been extinguished a
crowd of nearly five hundred collected
/ to watch the fire.
The fire started from one OF the top
floors and although unknown is sup

gnawing at matches.
Mr.. Dahlman stated after the fire
that he was not aware that any
matches were in any of the rooms on
the top floor but said that such thing
was probable.
The question that confronts the fire
department is: How could the fire gain
such Roadway in so short time? The
supposition that the fire was of in
cendiary origin was advanced but as
Mrs. Dahlman had been in the house
during the entire day this theory was
dismissed.
Among the valuable articles or fur
lniture destroyed was a piano which
was valued at $500. The instrument
was of a well known make and was
built to order.

indianapolis, Ind, July I4.-NIrS.
John w. Kern, wife of the candidate
for vice president, left II crying child
TO discuss current political topics, and
some other matters. The youngest
child, VIII, had a bad tooth; his Iusty
yeIIs for his other spoke well for his
lungs.
He thinks no one hut his mother
can stuff bit of cotton down on that
TOOTH said Mrs. Kern, "but / think
his sister can do it just we'll"
Verifying this prediction, the cries
of the youngest Kern subsidized in time.
whereupon the other gained courage
and talked enthusiastically upon every
subject that cae into her mind.
i see by one of the papers" said
Mrs. Kern, that John has been
through the ordeal of being inter-
viewed by a lady reporter. She asked
him to take off his hat so she could
look at his hair, gazed into his eyes
to get the color. examined his teeth
and then glanced furtively at his
socks.
Jokes About John and Lady Reporter.
When I read that my heart beat
fast, let ME tell you. I said to one Of
the neighbors who was here: My. but
I'm glad I bought John that bright
new pair of socks before he went to
Denver He said he didn't like them
much, but isn't it lucky they were good
and loud in color. for the woman re-
porter has been looking a them.
Some of the things 1 read in the
papers about us make me smile. One
reporter writes that John is a tee
totaler. which is right. and then says
he keeps a bottle on the sideboard for
his friends who call. Let me make it
clear that there is no bottle on the
sideboard in this house. We have no
cocktails either. We don't want any
wines on the table and don't intend
TO have any whatever happens.
John has served his time. He used
to drink when he was young and had
the good sense to quit it.
The day he left off whisky was as
big a day in his life as the day he was
nominated for vice president. don't YOU
think so?
Doesn't Believe in Sunday Saloons.
If anybody asks me if I believe in
a liberal Sunday. I think l should say
yes. But l don't believe in Sunday sa-
looms. l am in favor Of closing sa-

FORCED TO SLEEP
ON THE STREET
Former Foreman is Evicted
by Gary Land Company's
Agent Yesterday.
ACTION INCENSES DEFENDANT
Company Says Hudleson Owes Four
Months Rent, But He De-
mics This.

Charles E. HuddIeson, who WINS for
merly n foreman In the mills of the In
diana Steel company mt Gary. last
night evicted from his residence which
IL rented from the Steel company for
the nonpayment of rent.
The dispute arose about the rent
some time ngO and the case was taken
to Judge FitzgeraId's court where, after
n hearing the jury decided that Hud-
dlesOn did not owe any rent.
The Gary Land company, however,
was given a new trial and the case
was venued to Judge Reiland's court
in Indiana Harbor. Both Mr.. and Mrs
Huddleson were subpoened to appear
III court yesterday and while they were
gone the land company hired men to
remove the furniture.
Last night Mr.. and Mrs Huddleson
were compelled to sleep outdoors sur
rounded by their goods and they are
very much incensed over their evic-
tion.
Warrants were issued this morning
for the arrest of the officers who took
out the goods.
The position Of the Land company
is that Mr. Huddleson owes four
months rent and as he refuses to meet
I his obligation the company is deter
mined that he shall get out.
When the case in Judge Fitzgerald $
court was tried by jury and as is usu-
ally the case the jury sympathized with
the individual as against the corpora
ton and decided against the land COM
pany.
! The case was venued to Judge Rel
lands court after a new trial had been
asked for and the Land company adopt
ed the much more expedient plan OF
forcibly etectin& the parties
The general feeling about town is
that morally the Land company is in
the right but technically /Huddleson
may be able to avoid paying the rent
Says He Sent Check.
The trouble arose over the fact that
HuddlesOn claims he sent check tc
the Land company which was never re
ceived He believes that should re
llieve him of the responsibility of pay
ing the money over again.

JEAN VALJEAN' GIVES
HIMSELF Up YESTERDAY
VIM. McCarty is Now in the
Hands of Warden Reid
at Michigan City.
STORY IS TOLD IN The TIMES
Michigan City Prison Authorities
Confess That Story Is Too
Much for Them.

A thin, smooth shaver man with a
curious fnr away look in his eyes walk
ed into the office of the Indiana state
penitentiary at Michigan City yester-
day afternoon at 5 o'clock md stepped
up to the desk at which j. ID. Reid,
warden of the prison, was sitting.
"My name is McCarty," he said. In a
matter of fact tone. II broke my pa
come back to finish my sentence"
All right" the warden replied. I've
been expecting you. Just step this
way"
Half an hour later the same man, in
a prison uniform, came out of a cell
in an upper tier. passed down a mar
row corridor, and took his place in a
line which was filing toward the prison
dining room His number was 5,7S4-
And that number marked the end of
William McCarty's journey.
Strange Journey Described.
The first part of the strange jour-
ney was described yesterday evening by
THE TINES McCarty started from
o.
nothing but his railroad ticket and a
firm conviction, gained during a series
of salvation Army meetings. that it
was his duty to return to Indiana and
redeem the parole he had broken years
before when he got drunk and hit d
man over the head in a street fight.
In Chicago he stopped off" for
few hours and had a talk with several
Salvation Army officers. Then he went
to Michigan City.
When he arrived at the prison he
found that his story had preceded him.
| Upon learning thatfhe was on his way
| the prison officials began looking up
| his record. There was no William
McCarty" on the prison books, but at
! ter a little search 1t was found that
Thomas McCarty had begun his SEN
| tence for grand larceny in 1908. had
been paroled in August, 1905, and had
| broken his parole in October of the
same year.
! Before the record had been discov-
cred, however, it was learned that
| there was no William McCarty on the
| prison books and that at o'clock in
| the morning he had not called at the
penitentiary. The Salvation Army. it
| concluded, had been victimized, and an
announcement to this effect was print
! ed.
Seeks Old Friends.
Meanwhile McCarty was looking up
a few old acquaintance in Michigan
City-he drove an ice wagon while he
was on parole-and making prepare
tions TO bury himself, perhaps for the
rest of his life. Then. late in the af-
ternoon he stuck his little bundle IN
der his arm and walked to the prison
He was perfectly cheerful about it,

as this No extradition papers no Of

SCENE Of OPERATION
SHIFTED TO GARY
Chicago, Lake Shore and
South Bend Co. Now
Ballasting Tracks.
CARS TO RUN AUGUST FIRST
New Road Will Be Very Popular With
Garyites as Cars Will Run
Every Hour.

Once more the scene of operations
on the Lake Shore & South Bend Line
has been transferred to Gary, and now
the company is busily engaged in bal
lasting the road and finishing up the
work ready for them to operate. The
foreman in charge of the local work
stated to a TINES reporter yesterday
that in his opinion the only thing that
will prevent them from operating on
Aug l is their inability to get their
wires strung to this city. Everything
else will be in readiness 1t may be pos
sible, however, that they will operate
with steam for few days until the
wiring is completed.
''Y'' Is Put In.
Two miles of Gary a " is being
put in for the cars to turn on, which
are expected to operate only between
Gary and Chicago This Will also be
used for the cars that are run as ex-
cursion trains from eastern points to
the Steel City. which Will be one of
the features of this line.
There has also been a passing track
put in at the new station which will
BE used by the road At the present
time there are 125 men employed in the
construction work at Gary alone. AT
this place, however, the work is in its
most crude state and needs a great
amount of labor before it is ready for
use. The Kensington & Eastern has
promised to have their tracks ready for
use from the state line into Chicago on
STIPULATED time.
New Depot Going Up.
Work is advancing on the construc-
ton of the depot at Gary. The founda-
ton was completed today and 1t will
be rushed right through TO completion
The station will be a small one fol
the present. but will be improved upor
as the business develops. AS far as
Gar Wis concerned the road will be i'm
mensely popular from the start. ant
promises to give all of the roads rur
for their money in the passenger traf-
fic. It is understood that they will have
hourly service into Chicago right al
the start and that this will be improved
upon The twenty-six miles to Chica
go will be made inithirty minutes.
