FAMILY REUNITED
After Long Separation, j.
Chesoski Locates Dear
Ones in South Chicago.
DEAR ONES IN SOUTH CHICAGO
Robbed in New York of Savings
With Which He Meant to
Start Business.

A few weeks ago the family of JOS
Chesoski arrived in South Chicago from
New York City. The family arrived in
New York City Feb. %, where they
were met by several of their country
men from Austria Hungary, whe had
preceded them. The man was taken in
tow by two of these and the wife and
children were sent to South Chicago
where they were taken care of by
Sobat & Pocuca, Servian labor agents
on Nintieth street. Chesoskis friends
were to have sent him along to meet
her the next day, but failed to put in
an appearance until yesterday.
The man told a pitiful story of how
his countrymen had taken him to a
large river" and there upon threats
of taking his life, had robbed him of
his entire savings, which amounted to
over a thousand dollars in American
money. He related his story to the
New York police, but they were unable
to find any trace of his false friends.
Chesoski came to this country with
the intention of coming to South Chi
cago to start up store for his coun-
trymen. Instead of having the neces
sary capital to start a store, the man
is now penniless with a family upon
his hands to support. All of yesterday
was spent in search of work, but up
to late hour he was unsuccessful in
securing job.

IN REFORM SCHOOL
Irene MaIey, the IS Year Old Whiting
Girl Who Is KIeptOmaniac VIII BE
Cared For.

Whiting. Ind, April 1.-(Special)-
Irene Maley, the 16 year old girl who.
while employed by Mrs. George Sim
mons for a few days, stole her mis-
tress' gold watch and chain, was sem
fenced to Eve years in the house of
correction by Judge McMahan of Crown
Point.
This is only one of the many thefts
which the girl has figured in, accord
ing to her own testimony and also that
of her mother.
The watch which she stole over one
month ago was dug up in the back
yard of the Smith residence in Indiana
boulevard, where she had been making
her home. With it was also a gold
bracelet and a ring which she also con-
fessed to stealing but refused to dis
close the identity of the owner.
She did not seem to repent much of
her past or even dread her going to
the reform school, as she expressed her
willingness to go without even trial.

Delegations protesting against the

terday, but found no opportunity to
give their objections to the measure,
which forces the citizens to pay double

Alderman Foreman, chairman of the

in the city hall or his office where
several indignant property owners of

ordinance after the protesting commit

The ordinance is to go into effect

INDIANA HARBOR
HAS ITS ROMANCE
One Half Cast of Characters
Known-Other Half a
Mystery.
GROOM ON WAY TO S.AMERICA
Couple VIII Live There if Plans
Pan 0ut-Bride-to-Be Sent
for Later.

There is romance under way in IN
dinan Harbor, with just enough of mys-
terry to add to its interest. The identity
of one of the principals is known. but
that Of the other is being kept a pro-
found secret. The romance moreover
involves a trip to South America for
which far away country the known
half of the interesting little love
sketch, is already or his way.
The known half is Warren ]. Sheet.
He in company with Al Burnell, is now
in New York, awaiting the sailing of
the good ship that is TO bear him away
to Savanilla, Columbia. S. A. In three
weeks, If the plans he hopes to see
materialized do not miscarry, he will
send back to Indiana Harbor, for a
bride. Or at least, so rumor hath it..
And here is where the mystery devel-
pos. The name of the young woman
is still a secret and when inquiries are
made regarding It, among the intimate
friends of Mr.. Sheetz, the friends as
sumo "a blank look and declare they
have not heard of it." However, it has
leaked out-all but the name of the
SW6dl-n6dTl.
The trip to South American is not a
pleasure one. Mr.. Sheetz goes there on
business mission. He and Mr.. Bur-
nell, his travelling companion, mean to
make Begota, Colunlia, their home.
From there it is their intention to op-
crate a scent show circuit. for which
they have a concession from the Column
bian government. They were in Wash
ington yesterday arranging for their
passports and are now in New York
whence they will sail tomorrow. The
trip on the ocean occupies eighteen days
and afte rarriving in Savanilla they will
proceed inland on a five days journey
up the river The last fifty miles OF
their journey they will make by bur-
roughs over the mountains.
The reason that the wedding was no.
solemnized before Mr.. Sheetz left
and the bride taken along. was that Mr.
Sheetz wishes first to take look at the
country and size up his proposition
from short range before he decides to
settle there. If anything develops to
make him decide not to remain, ne
| figured that it was just well to spare
the young woman the long and tire
some journey.

professors and business men of Val
paralso university and the town itself
raised a hundred dollars last Saturday
TO furnish bond for Julian Lopez. who
is a student in the Valparaiso unfyer-
sity law department
Lopez IS the son of wealthy Porto
Rican and dignitary. He was arrested
last Saturday night by United States
Marshal D. c. Rankin of INDIANAPOLIS
for sending obscene literature through
the mails, and though he had only a
few days before received a large sum
of money from his father he was nm
able to furnish the 500 bond REQUIRED
by United States Commissioner Charles
Surprise of Hammond The result
would have been that he would have
had to lay in jail to await the investf-
cation of the grand jury To the Porto
Ricans it must have looked like race
prejudice and sooner than have the
young fellow be a means of creating
hard feeling between this country and
the Porto Ricans the bond was fur
nished
The literature was sent during May
of last year and was addressed to
Cenaro Brenes Guayma, Porto Rico. On
February Is, of this year the warrant
for his arrest was sworn out For
time several other young men who
were in close companionship with the
Porto Rican, were suspicioned by the
officials. but the blame finally rested on
Lopez.
His one hundred bond was accepted
by United States Commissioner Charles
Surprise yesterday and the young man
released on his own recognizance.
Frank Winiarski of East Chicago,
who was arrested last Saturday on the
charge of having rif1ed and destroyed
mail belonging TO his relative, Roch
Winiarski, was taken to Indianapolis
where he will be imprisoned until the
Federal grand jury investigates his
case.

ELLIOTT FLOWER FALLS DOWN
IN GETTING INTO INDIANA

Elliott Flower, the Chicago Tribune
reporter who is trying to get to New
York from Chicago by trolley, fell
down quite badly as far as getting
into Indiana is concerned.
Flower said in his story that no en-
trance could be got into Indiana by
trolley and that he was compelled to
get from Kankakee to Lafayette via
Big Four.
The fact remains that the H, w. &
z. c. Railway company would get
Flower into Indiana, as is generally
known in Chicago, at least in the
newspaper offices. With trolley lines
in East Chicago, Indiana Harbor, South
Bend and La Porte, it seems singular
that Flower didn't know this.

has eight circuits and is the best that
is made in this country. The power is
furnished by the South Chicago City

ton of the new board quite a number
of Hammond have visited the station to
inspect it and their comment is very
favorable both for the apparatus and
the city for installing the system.

publicans in Indiana have rendered
valuable and effective work, and the
record of our state is equal to that Of
any other in rendering assistance

our people In the days Of the civil

man rendered greater support and
comfort to Abraham Lincoln than did
Oliver P. Morton. In the prosecution
of his public duties, and with the aid
of a Christian character, pure and en-
nobling. the work was carried on eff
fectively by Benjamin Harrison. The
initial movement as well as the later
management of important affairs
which eliminated in the enactment Of

g citizen of Indiana, patriotic, unself-

to victory the hosts of the Republican
party, in the person of Charles w.

THREE LIVES WE'RE LOST.
Towboat and Flats Swept Over Dan
and Completely Wrecked.

Pittsburg, Pa, March 7.-Three lives
were lost tonight when the tow boat
Stella Moren, with two flats of coal,
went over Dam No. 2 on the Monon-
gahela river at Port Perry, Pa, and
sank in twenty feet of water.
The Moren was about to enter the
lock when the strong current, due to
the high water, swung it around and
before it could be controlled, the yes
sci and fats were between the lock
wall and the boat and crushed to
death. The rest of the crew, number
ing ten men, were thrown into the
river, but all were rescued except
Lorain and Bush, who were not
seen after the boat went down.
The Stella Moren was owned by the
Monongahela River Consolidated Coal
Company.
The loss is estimc ed at 10000.
