COMPLAINTS CONE
FROM CHICAGO
William Hardesty at Hobart Said To
Be Shipping Milk and Handling 1t
When Malignant Disease Affects
His People, Says Inspector of
Health Yesterday.

The milk dealers In and around Ho-
bart are in trouble again.
few months ago the whole city of
Gary was thrown into turmoil over
the alleged impurity of the milk which
was shipped from the vicinity of Ho-
bart.
Several samples were found to have
large quantities of fOrmaIdehyde In
them, placed there for the purpose of
preserving the milk. The matter was
finally brought to n head when "A little
child is alleged TO have died as a
suit of being fed impure milk.
COMPLAIN OF HOBART MILK.
This time the complaint comes from
Chicago The Chicago health officers
claim to have discovered the fact that
some of the milk witch is shipped from
Hobart is handled under the most IN
sanitary conditions.
They have notified DIR. ]. N Hurry.
secretary of the Indiana state board
of health, and ask him to investigate
the conditions at Hobart and take some
action to remedy conditions.
DIR. EVANS TAKES INITIATIVE.
DR. W. A. Evans, the commissioner
of the department of health at Chicago,
has taken the initiative and calls at
tention to one case, especially. in which
he believes official action should be
taken.
Dr. Evans says that one of his in
spectors reports that there are two
cases of diphtheria in the family of
William Hardesty at Hobart. Dr. Dob
bins of Wheeler attended the cases and
the inspector reports that DIR. Dobbins
not only allowed Hardesty to handle
the milk which was later shipped to
Chicago but also permitted him to min
gle generally with the people of Ho-
bart
CHARGES WE'RE MIXED UP.
1t was the Hobart milk dealers who,
when they were charged with putting
formaldehyde in the milk, hired the
best attorney available and fought the
case to a finish.
i 1t was proven that there was a guam
tity of formaldehyde in several OF the
/ samples of milk secured, but the farm
er shifted the blame on the wholesaler
and the wholesaler on the retailer un-
/ III the SulllE party hdHdSeu " SNduc
| the responsibility.
DR.. T. B. Templin, who had the In
terest of the community at heart
enough to start the investigation, was
accused of violating the ethics of the
profession by rushing into print when
that was the only way in which the
public could be brought to an appre-
| citation of the gravity of the situa-
ton.
ILL FEELING STIRRED UP.
There was considerable bad feeling
aroused all around. and the cases were
finally dropped and the trouble blew
over Now. however, the Chicago
health authorities are after the Hobart
milk dealers and have interested the
state board of health in their efforts
to insure a pure supply of Indiana milk
Reflection has been cast on the In
! diana supply of milk and both the un-
sanitary producer and the man who
! is scrupulously careful will have tc
suffer. DR.. Hurry promised to inves-
tigate the case at once.

POLICEMAN FINDS
BABES IN WOODS
Little Girls Lost in Jackson
Park, Sleep Under the
Trees All Night.
FOUND BY OFFICER CALLAHAN
Anxious Parents Of Children Scour
Neighborhood in Frantic Effort
To Find Lost Treasures.

Three little girls, ranging in ages
from to years old, were lost in
Jackson park last night and slept un-
der the trees all night until this morn
ing when they were found by park po-
nceman Callahan.
The girls whose names are Nora
Noonan, age 9 years, Nellie Noonan 6
years old and Mary Rice s years old.
all living at 2543 Lowe avenue. went
to Jackson park during the day with a
party of girls from their street. during
the day the three girls became lost
from the other girls and wandered far
away from them.
Night was coming on and the little
girls hungry and footsore from walk
ing all over the park finally lay down
under one of the large trees and slept
for a while. Then the largest one,
Nora, told the other girls to get up
and probably they might meet someone
that could direct them to their homes.
Found by Park Policeman.
They wandered around awhile. it be-
ing late in the evening, no one was in
the park and their efforts to find any-
one proved fruitless and they again
went under tree and fell fast asIeep
and did not wake up until park police
man found them under the tree early
this morning.
In the meatime the parents of the
children were securing the neighbor-
hood in hope of finding some trace of
the children who went to the park
without the consent of their parents
The mothers of the children formed
a searching party and they went from
house to house in the neighborhood
but not trace of the little one could be
found
The police were notified and mer
were at once put to work looking for
the lost children.
When the park policemen found the
children he took them to the Woodlawr
police station at once and their parents
were notified The mothers of the
children were overjoyed to find their
children safe and sound and thanked
the park policeman for finding them.

GARY TOWN BOARDS
IMPORTANT SESSION
Resolution Passed Allowing
Cain Construction Com
pany $4,000.
MILK CONSUMERS PROTECTED
Ordinance Adopted Licensing AL
Milk Dealers-All Cows Must
Be Inspected.

Two important measures were adopt
ed yesterday at a meeting of the town
board, one of them being the much
talked of resolution turning over to
Contractor W. A. Cain the balance of
the $4,000 which had been paid in
by the Gary Land company after the
advertising expenses and other matters
In connection with the paving expenses
had been allowed by the city The
net amount turned over to Mr.. Cain
was s17.747.45. This was the amount
paid in by the Gary Land company on
the Madison street assessment the paw
ing Of which was done by the Cain
Construction company
Another matter which was settled at
this meeting was the passing of the
resolution requiring all milk dealers to
secure a license. This was passed for
the purpose of regulating the distribu-
ton of milk keeping it in a sanitary
condition, getting the best quality and
to have it of the best quality, with
sufficient fat and unadequated.
One interesting provision in the ordi-
nance is that fact that all cows which
supply milk to this city must be in
spected at a stated period by a veteri-
nary surgeon to test the animal for dis
ease The dairys will also be inspect
ed to ascertain whether or not the
places are kept in a Clearly condition,
how the milk is handled before it is
put on the train and then placed in
the hands of the dealers.
The town board also declared itself
ready for bids on the public printing
these bids to be ready by the next SEES
sion of the town board. After the reg
ular bills were allowed the meeting ad-

CURLING RAIL PER|LS
ASKED IN INDIANA
State Railway Commission Calls Attention to Killing
Of 173 People Since First of Year in
the State of Indiana.

An alarming increase In the number
of railroad fatalities in Indiana dur
ing the past two months has caused
the state railroad commission to de-
mand of the roads more systematic and
persistent efforts to prevent accidents.
Railroads operating In that state yes
terday received an order In which n
more extensive use of warning signals
at crossings and on bridges is directed
as means of doing away with loss
OF life. Special emphasis also is placed
on the necessity of cooperating with
local authorities to keep trespassers of
the tracks.
Present conditions. the commission
declares, involve IAN unnecessary and
continuous loss of life in highly civil
lied country" The Indiana commission
had previously denounced it as the
great American crime"
| The commission points to the fact
that 173 persons were killed while tres
passing on the tracks or cars of the
railroads in Indiana during the year
ending June 80. 1908 A large increase
in these fatalities and in fatalities at
/ highway grade crossings, it is stated. is
shown in accident reports for July and
August
Roads Under Obligations.
while the railroads are not TO be
held responsible for these deaths, as
/ they are for accidents resulting from
negligence" the commission says, Ill
is an act of humanity and a moral, ii
not a legal, obligation to prevent this
loss of life where it is possible to dc
so"
The commission cites the Indiana law
which makes trespassing unlawful only
after an offender has been warned
Reference is made to nine states which
make explicit directions with regard
to walking on railroad tracks. only
three of which, it is lamented. express.

STEADY RESUMPTION
OF WORK IN MILLS
Some Large Concerns Al
ready Employing the
Usual Number.
THE PULLMAN CO. A FACTOR
Illinois Steel Company Employing
5000 Men at the Present Time.
Burnside Shops Fullhanded.

Greater resumption of activity in
the Calumet region is in sight. A
TIMES reporter in many of the indus
tries in and about South Chicago today
found that many of the mills and man
ufactories are engaging more men ev-
cry day. OF course employees are not
being put to work in large numbers,
but the report gained today at the Of
fee shows there is a gradual tendency
of a steady resumption of business.
The Illinois Steel Co.
In an interview with General Super
intendent Bowlby of the Illinois Steel
company this morning, a TIMES re-
porter was informed that over 5000
men are now employed at the mills
at South Chicago at the present time
and more men would be taken on as
conditions gradually improved. over
fifty men were put back to work yes
terday when the structural mill opened.
Rail mill No. will open next Mon
day. Other mills" said Mr.. Bowlby,
will resume as conditions improve"
WISCONSIN, steer 20.
The Wisconsin Steel company of
South Deering is now running full
blast More men are now in the en-
ploy of the mills than at any other
previous time. Conditions at the Chi
cago Shipbuilding company on the East
Side are improving each day. At the
American Mailing company and the Al
bert Schwill & Co, at One Hundred and
Third street and Avenue c. reports say
that the companies are employing their
usual number of men.
The Burnside Shops.
The Burnside shops at Burnside,
which resumed last month, are now
running full force. 1t is said the
work will be steady and continue dur
ing the winter as a large amount of
work has accumulated during the shut
down which will keep the shops in
operation for some time to come.
At the shops at South Deering there
are over 1000 men employed at the
present time The large force of men
employed looks good. and the shops
have taken on their old time busy APP
pearance.
Busy at Pullman.
With the manufacture of steel cars
at the Pullman shops the plant will be
greatly enlarged to meet the condi-
tions. 1t is said that the car shops
will be the largest of any in the
United States. The addition of sixty
acres to the side of the plant calls for
many changes for the big industry
Work will commence at once on the
construction of the big plant.
The Western Glucose company al
Roby. at their big plant are employ
ing more men at the present time thar
ever before.
The damage which was done to the
starch drying room some time ago by
the big explosion which occurred, has
been repaired and additional men have
been put on the payroll.
Business Men Optimistic.
In talking to many of the merchant.
and business men about South Chicago
today, the TINES reporter learned tina
there was a general aspect toward.
the betterment of business conditions
