REPUBLIC MILLS START
Three of the Finishing Mills
Are Running With
600 Men.

East Chicago, Ind, May 11-(SpeciaD
Still the glad news continues and
feeling of gladness struck the average
heart in this locality this morning
when it was learned that the Republic
Iron & Steel mills had opened up this
morning on a larger scale than had
been anticipated.
The 81, 8" and IS" finishing mills
started up this morning as well as the
pudding mill. Six hundred men were
put at work
The report has gained credence
though 1t was impossible to verify it
by an interview with the mill officials
that 10000 tons of product have been
ordered from the Republic and if this
is true it means that work is secure
for at least six weeks. BY that time
other orders are expected and it is
hoped that the industrial depression
is raised in this section of the country.

Chicago This Evening.

The pansy night of the May festival
in Parish hall passed off in glow OF
pleasure and good feeling. The Friday
supper, served under the care Of Mrs.
Becker, fulfilled all prediction and sur
passed expectation. All the restaurants
in this vicinity had better take united
action; or they will lose many of their
customers for the next week during
the festival We are running at cut
prices too and every customer will be
sorry the festival does not run longer
than one week more. Today also, Sat
urday, the pansies will grace our sup

exhibited nothing but good natured
pleasure to which the busy bees were
careful to add an air of business. Why
not transact business in these hard
times with a smiling face2 It softens

On Monday and Tuesday the Ivy

tons and across the chest of the young
girl lay her rosary. There was a
tangle of auburn hair on the skull and
that was all that was left by which
Identification could be made.
Akers called Phillip Schneider, Bert
Smith and John Birk and together they
made an examination of the skeleton.
The teeth in the skull were most per-
feet and not one of them was decaped
in the least degree. There was no
casket or any receptacle of any kind
for the body and to all appearances it
had been hurriedly dumped into the
grave.
The most important fact as having
a bearing to the solution of the mys-
terry comes from John Birk, who has
been connected with the cemetery for
some time.
Birk remembers that about five years
ago he discovered the wires of the
graveyard fence had been cut He
also remembers that some boys found a
bloody cloth at that time. Hhere wre

theories and solutions of the problem
have been suggested.

Description Said to Tally With

has either Identified the body of the
man who was found in the Calumet
river at Miller, by accurately describ-
ing 1T, or she has furnished the Lake

terious disappearance and possibly
with new murder mystery.
Yesterday Mrs. Clancy appeared at
Jones undertaking establishment at
Gary and asked to see the body of the
man which was recovered from the
river at Miller. She was informed that
1t had been taken to Hobart.
She said her husband. who is a mill
worker at South Chicago, went out to
collect $11 about five weeks ago, for an
old job that he had done, and told her
that he would return shortly after sup
per.
| Since that time she has not heard a
word from him and has been deprived
of his support Undertaken Jones then
asked her to describe her missing hus-
band and she did SO infinitely.
The description tailed with that Of
the dead man to such an extent that
there is no question in the mind Of
Untertaker Jones, who saw the body,
that it is that of Mrs. Clancy's husband.
Woman is Destitute.
Mrs. Clancy is in such destitute cir

neighbors will provide her with the
necessary funds with which to make
the trip.

he had taken in the hope that 1t might
lead to the identification of the remains

able to recognize her husband from the

.FLOODGiUSES NARROWESCAPE
After Danger Is Over George W.
Ross Wants to Wiring
Out His Socks.

The family of George w. Ross of East
Chicago. one OF the most prominent in
social and business circles, had a mar
row escape from death by drowning
yesterday afternoon and it made the
conclusion to a memorable ride for
them.
Incidentally it marked the perfect
ccolness of Mr.. Ross in times of dangeh
and brought out the fact that wet feet
are hated worse by him than impending
death.
In company with his wife, two daugh-
tiers and son Mr. Ross took advantage
of gorgeous spring Sunday to drive
through the country around Hammond
and East Chicago. AS they were re-
turning home in a two-seated carriage
they came to the Firsythe bridge over
the Calumet and the down, after max
ing soundings foud that 1t was covered
with foot Of water. The driver had
his nerve with him. however, and de-
clared that he could cross Jordan all
right and land his passengers on the
other side of the stream.
! He evidently reckoned without his
host for as the two-seated carriage
neared the other side of the river, two
wheels Topped off the bridge and amid
the screams of the frightened occu-
pants was slipping into the river. Each
of the passengers succeeded in Chamber
ing around in nearly two feet of water
and the horses became panic stricken
and started to run away.
Though they were in a serious pre-
idicament Mr. Ross family drenched to
the skin were in a mood to make mercy
over their plight seeing that they were
safe on the bridge instead of under 1t.
well, I guess I'll go and wiring out
my socks, said the vice president and
general manager of the East Chicago
Land company to his wife as soon as
they got on dry land
We'll, I guess we'll drive right home
because If there is to be anything OF
that kind" declared Mrs. Ross, II want
to be where / can wiring mine," and
the driver was rude enough to smoker.
