PALMER PARK AS TERMINUS

The south end of the city should be
connected with the park and boule
ward system. according to a discussion
among Calumet real estate owners,
who held their regular monthly meet
ing yesterday afternoon.

other thoroughfare that might be sug-

Rules For Acceptance.
Before a street will be accepted by
the park commissioners as a boule-
ward it must be improved by a specia
4 assessment or contract. Then, if ac-
ceptable, it is turned over to the park
board and is thereafter maintained as &
boulevard. What the real estate mer
urged was more activity upon the par
of the park board during the next thre,
years towards attaining the wants O

The many advantages of a boulevard
system hardly needs discussion. 1

BRIDGES TO CLOSE
FOR DEFINITE TINE
City Ordinance Regulating
Hours But It Is Not
Enforced.
Street TRAFFIC IS DELAYED
South Chicago Aldermen Promise to
Introduce Amendment 10 Pres
ent Law to Secure Change.

Few people in South Chicago are
aware that there are bridge closing
hours, relating to the Calumet river es-
tabIished BY city ordinances This does
not refer to low bridges. under which
tugs cannot pass. Such bridges must
be swung open a all hours upon signal.
But other bridges must remain closed
for the convenience Of the traffic over
them between the hours of and a. m.
and and 7 p. m.
The rule relating to the Chicago river
bridges fixes the hours of closed bridges
from $50 to $50 M. and from 5 to 7
p. on the main branch and the south
branch to Twelfth street, inclusive and
on the north branch to Kenzie street.
On the south branch from Twelfth
street to Halstead. and on the north
branch from Kenzie to Halsted, the
closed hours are from to a. m. and
from $50 TO $50 to $50 p. m.
In an interview the officials from the
street car company and with the heads
of the various manufacturing indus
+ tries, 1t develops that the morning
hours during which the bridges should
be closed, should begin at $50 instead
of s, as the heaviest travel starts be-
fore that time. Further inquiries show
that the ordinance SC far as it affects
the Calumet river bridges is more hon.
ored in the breach than in the observ-
ance. the ordinance being practically
a dead letter in this district.
For the convenience OF the travelling
public this ordinance should be en-
forced Men are late to work on ac-
count of its reinforcement, these
men being late to work, and as a re-
suit are locked and lose money through
no fault of their own. This ordinance
should be enforced even II it is me-
cessary to invoke police power to do so,
The matter has been called to the at
tention of the local aldermen, who have
promised TO take it up a the next coun-
ell meeting. They will introduce an
amendment to have the closing hours
changed from $50 to Z.
The street car company asserts that
the disobedience of the closing hours
delays their cars every morning, which
In a measure is responsible for the
poor service.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT
NARROWLY AvERTEO
Engineer in Train Collision
at Gary Shows Pres
ence of Mind.
PASSENGERS ARE SHAKEN UP
Cars on Pere Marquette Road Were
in Danger of Rolling Down a
Thirty Foot Elnbankment.

What appeared for a moment to be
a certain wreck occurred on the Lake
Shore tracks at 3:4S yesterday when
the Westbound Pere Marquette No So
crashed into the observation car of
Division superintendent f. A Wilson
Of the Lake Shore road. With the
brakes applied the fast passenger
struck the light engine and car going
at the rate of thirty miles an hour,
tearing off the pilot Of ahe engine. and
considerable shaking up of the pas
sengers.
Engineers Presence of Mind.
1t seemed as if the presence of mind
alone of the egnineer of the observa-
ton car in putting on a full head of
steam when he saw that the crash
was inevitable, saved a serious wreck.
His engine was also headed westward
as it stood on the track and by putting
on steam he had the car we'll in mo-
ton before it was struck. thereby
greatly neutralizing the shock. If the
impact had been more severe 1t might
have caused a derailment, and the pas
senger train would have rolled down
the thirty-foot embankment onto the
street at Broadway.
Causes Much Excitement.
The accident caused no end of ex-
citement and as soon as the regular
train on the Lake Shore pulled in from
Chicago with its hundreds of passen-
gers aboard the train. they gathered
around to see where a serious wreck
had been narrowly averted. The Pere
Marquette was delayed for thirty min
utes, during which time the pilot was
displaced from the engine and rolled
down the embankment.
The cause of the crash seems to be
that the observation car was stopped
too near the block signal, so that when
the fast Pere Marquette train, which
does not stop at Gary, saw the block
they did not have sufficient time tC
bring the train to a standstill before
they hit the car At the time that the
two came in contact the brakes were
being strained on the passenger to
bring it to a standstill but the dis
lance was too short. When the brakes
were suddenly applied the passengers
were partly thrown from their seat:
hut none of them were seriously shock
ed, as far as could be learned. 1t wa:
said that the windows of the passenger
train were also broken, but this repor
was denied by the officials of the road
No Damage to Car.
There was no damage to the obser
walton car, the part that was hit being
of steel, The only bad results OF al
accident that might have meant thu
loss of several lives a we'll as a grea
deal of property. resulted only in
property loss of about $50. the della,
of the train for thirty minutes an
several bad scares.

become convinced that they were the
worst set of thieves that the cities of
Whiting and Hegewisch have known
for a long time
Another Man Involved.
The two men have been associated
together in their nefarious business for
about two months and have been steal
ing right and left during that time. The
two men are said to have involved a
third for whom the Whiting police are
now searching.
Houbeda told of an attempt on the
part of Gebel to steal a registered letter
which was coming from the old coun-
try to a man in Hegewisch. The man
who was expecting the letter called at
postoffice and caught Gebel signing for
it and prevented the theft.
Houbeda also had a revolver which
he confessed to having stolen. The po-
Iocie have as vet been unable to find
the purse which Houbeda claims he
claims he threw away when he was
about to be captured by an Hammond
police officer.
Hammond Wheels Recovered
Through the confessions which the
Whiting police have secured from
Houbeda four bicycles have been re-
covered One was a wheel belonging
to Mr. Patterson OF los State street II
West Hammond, another belonged K
Frederick Wyman and was stolen from
the corner of Hoffman and Cedar
streets. The third was stolen from
Prevo Bros. and the fourth was an ole
wheel which was taken from some on,
who never reported 1t at the police sta
ton and was stolen from the corner
of Towle and Gostlin streets.

DAILY CUTTING
SCRAPE At GARY
Leon Welmez Stabbed by an
Assailant Who Succeeds
in Getting Away.
KNIFE THROUGH HOLE IN WALL
Peculiar Circumstance Attends At
tack Which Is Discovered
By the Police.
KNIFE THROUGH HOLE IN WALL

The daily cutting scrape which is
pulled off as reminder to the people
of Gary that conditions are fast be-
coming intolerable in the new Steel
City. occurred in shack on Massa-
chusetts street between Seventeenth
and Eighteenth avenues at 1:45 a. m.
In the fight Leon Welmez was stabbed
twice by a man who is supposed to be
Joe Milewski. but who has not yet been
captured The reason that Milewski is
suspected is that he is reported to have
declared that Leon Welmez would not
live very much longer.
Peculiar Mode of Attack.
The manner in which the stabbing
occurred was very peculiar. Joe Milew-
ski was in one part of the building and
Leon Welmez was sleeping in another.
The assatlant of Welmez reached his
hand through a hole in the partition
while Welmez was sleeping and stabbed
him twice in the head behind the ear.
AS soon as Welmez felt the blade of
the knife he awakened and called to
his wife She was aroused and went
for policeman and a doctor. When
the doctor arrived he found that the
wounds were not very serious and there
is no doubt of Welmez's recovery.
The doctor said that the nature of
the wound was such that if the knife
had been directed an inch one way or
the other it would have penetrated the
brain and would have caused instant
death.
The experience of having a man
reach his hand through a hole in the
wall and stab another in the head with
knife while he was sleeping is a very
unusual one, and is but another indica-
! ito nthat there is murder in the heart
! of a great many Of the GARY foreigners

NO IMPROVEMENTS

HUCKSTERS LICENSE PETITION
Grocers Object to Portable Fruit
Dealers Who Undersell Them
May Produce Ordinance.

The resolutions passed at the last
board meeting in regard to the i'm
provement of Nineteenth street will
be rescinded through the action of the
town board yesterday afternoon. The
action of the town board called for
temporary Improvement of the street
up to Madison street, but the property
owners who petitioned for the improve
ment stated that If they could not get
through to Broadway, thereby giving
them an outlet to the main thorough
fare. they did not care to have the
Improvement made.
Fitzgerald Is Busy.
William Fitzgerald, of the Gary In
vestment company, seems to be taking
an especial interest in the defeat of
the Improvement resolution and. was
there to present his arguments why the
paving of the street should not be done.
The board had already decided not to
improve that portion of the street from
Madison to Broadway. This would
only give them access to Broadway via
Madison street and Eleventh avenue
which they did not consider satisfac-
tory. If they were not able to get
clear through, therefore, they decided
that they did not want the improve
ment at all. and this plan of action was
taken by the board. Attorney Ora
| Wildermuth represented a large part
of the property owners adjoining this
street. When the board decides in q
few years to put in the necessary i'm
provemeut it will be permanent instead

Terre Haute, Ind, July 27.-There is
still no definite trace Of Miss Edith
Rabbit the young woman from Be
lott, Wis. who has been missing from
the Moody Bible Institute in Chicago
since a month ago. A report now being
investigated comes from w J. Wright,
gent for the Big Four at Vermillion,
Ill, who writes tht a woman answering
ner description was seen there asking
the route TO Jacksonville, Ill. She
asked to be shown Clinton, on the map
and when told she could go to Jack
sonville by way of Danville she said
that she did not want to go to Danville.
This is regarded as significant because
Miss Rabbits brother and Police Ma
tron Shannon OF Chicago had gone to
Danville from Terre Haute in search OF
her. She was told how she could
reach Jacksonville by way of st. Louis
and is supposed to have taken that
route.

religious. But why the moral and re-
ligioms elements will not turn out
to see The Holy City at prices that
run from 25, 35, so to 75 cents a
seat is religious mystery. It Is
probably explained by the fact that
religiousspeop'e have not the theater
habit. They do not spend much on
entertainments They are mainly
concerned about their own organiza-
tions and entertainments, and hence
have not time or thought to spend on
promscuous amusemens. But II Is
still a mystery how this kind of
play can fail to interest those who
are looking toward reformation of
the drama, who want to see 1t turn
its attention to the purer side of
things. one would think they would
fill the opera house when a religious
drama IS put on the boards and for
one night. at least, crowds omt the
problem play, the sensational melo-
drama, and the racing and gambling
plays that fascinate the wicked
crowds of sporting people who flock
