CONGREGATIONALISTS
To HAVE A CHAPEL
Will Be One of Gary's Pho
neer Churches Meet
ing on Monday.
BUILD $4,000 BUILDING LATER
Bids Will Be Opened and Contracts
Awarded on Monday Night
Club Rooms in Basement.

On Monday night of next week the
directors of the Congregational church
will open bids and award the contract
for the building of the new chapel, at
the southwest corner of Sixth avenue
and Madison street.
The new chapel, when completed, will
be the finest of Gary's church edifices
and will cost in the neighborhood of
$1,000 to $4,000. The plans of the
chapel were drawn by Architect w. C.
Miller of Chicago, who has designed
many Chicago churches.
Some time ago the directors of the
Congregational church purchased three
building lots facing on Madison street
and Sixth avenue, giving a building site
of 90x125 feet. 1t was thought advis-
able at this time to build a chapel and
as the city grows to add the church
proper The chapel will be so con-
structed and arranged so the work of
building the other addition will be an
easy matter. The plans of the entire
church are now in the hands of the
directors and half of the money at this
time is raised to build the church.
probably in four or five years, which
will cost $50, 900.
Stone and Brick Building.
The ground plans of the new chapel
will occupy a space of S5 by rs feet
The roof will be forty feet high with
tower at the southeast end. The
building will face on both Madison and
Sixth avenue. 1t will be of solid stone
and brick masonry and will be one of
the most imposing structures of ar
chictectular beauty in Gary. The en-
trance will be at the corner of Madison
and Sixth avenue, with a large tower
at the entrance. The ceiling of the
chapel will be large art glass dome,
supported by immense stone pillars.
The large auditorium Will have a
seating capacity of from $50 to 400.
This will be adequate for several years
to come, when the new church will be
built, seating 1000 persons. On the
side of the pulpit will be a room for
the choir and a study for the pastor
Basement for CIubroems
The basement of the chapel will be
untitled by the Mems League for club
rooms and athletic purposes. 1t will
have a 14-foot ceiling.
The greater part of the finances to-
ward the new chapel are coming in
from New York and Chicago friends
who are interested in the future of
Gary, esp specially that of the Congrega-
tional church of Gary.
An option has been secured on the
lots opposite the church and next year
it is the intention of the directors OF
the church to build a home for the pas
tor.

They then went behind the bar and
secured $14 from the cash register.
They found two fves and two two dol

to leave the place Frank Bough Jumped
up and grappled with one of them.
There was a scuffle, in which Bough

With almost non partisan enthus&-

strenuous efforts to make the greatest
political event in this part of the state.
an unqualified success. Gary appre-
ciates the honor which has been be-
slowed upon it in having the distin-
guished speakers present and the re-
ception which they receive will in all
probability do justice to the occasion.
VIII Be D Wonder.
The-great parade viii be a wonderful
spectacle. The latest of the many new
features which have been added is the
heading of the parade by two galley
decorated steam rollers, one to repre-
sent the crushing defeat of Bryan by
Taft, and the other the crushing de-
feat of Marshall by watson. The en-
gines are capable of travelling fast
enough so there will be no difficulty in
keeping them moving fast enough to
lead the marshers.
This win probably be the most novel
feature ever introduced in demon
startion of this kind before. The steam
rollers are most appropriate consider
ing the manner in which Taft was
nominated and the campaign which has
been conducted.

GENERAL ELECTRIC.
Several Large and Important Order,
Booked, First in Many Months.

BOSTON. April 1.-The General
Electric company has, within the
past week or two, received several
large individual orders, the first large
contracts the company has booked
for many months.
The new business includes nearly
81 100000 of street railway equip
ment ordered by the Chicago Rail-
ways company. This order comprises
in part over 800 four-motor car
equipments.
Another important order for over
100000 of electrical equipment has
just been placed by the Companhia
Docas de Santos. the largest dock
company in Brazil.
The United States government has
placed an order for about 100000
of equipment for the Panama canal,
and other important orders nave been
given by the New York Central and
Interborough Rapid Transit company.
As a result of the improved out
look produced by this influx of new
business the Schenectady works will
resume operations at full time and
with some increase of forces.
II is worthy of note that among
the largest orders given this month
have been acquisitions for street rail-
way apparatus. This department
has been one of the weakest spots for
many months in the General Electric
business.

THE ELYS AND UTAH
COPPER LOOKED TO
WITH ALL INTEREST

BOSTON, April 4.-The Financial
News says in its weekly resume of
copper and coppers:
As a matter of fact, the trading
the active trading in the coppers, has
bene pretty Closely confined to Anal
gamated itself and while the balance
of the local coppers have been strong
they have not shown any inspired
buying or effort to put them to a
higher level.
There has been noticeable dullness
in the shares of the Lake coppers
with the possible exception of Copper
Range. Calumet & Hecla has failed
to advance beyond 60 to $50, al
though on the other hand there has
been no pressure to sell these or
other Lake coppers.
The interest outside of Amalgam-
ated centers in the Utah and Nevada
coppers. which are destined to play
a big part in the coming copper boom
that authorities see on the way. Con-
spicuous weakness was exhibited in
Boston Consolidated but this weak
ness is attributed to stock market
conditions and not TO any change in
the conditions at the property which
are all right as explained little fur
Their along in this column.
Two or three more annual reports
of copper mining companies were re-
ceived this week and showed the
same poor results noted in the re-
ports of other companies which have
been published before. 1t is, how
ever, apparent that the copper min
ing industry and the companies have
passed through the worst period and
that any change will be for the bet
ter.
We were told yesterday by an au-
thority that cannot be questioned
that the consumers were falling over
themselves to get supplies of cop
per at 13 " cents pound and this
interest expects the price to advance
to IA cents or better any day now.
The big producers are out of the mar
ket at l3 " cents.
Up at the Lake they resent the re-
ported statement of a Boston mine
treasurer who lately visited there
that there was plenty of copper on
hand. They say that consumers who
usually get their supplies from the
jobbers are buying in carload lots d.
rect from the producer. 1t appears
further that the amount OF copper
on hand at the smelters is not more
than normal for this time of year.
The Calumet & Hecla people will not
talk for publication but II Is believed
that they are out of the market and
are holding their copper at IA cents
a pound or better.
The representatives of the United
Metals Selling Co. have this week
put themselves on record as expect
ing an advance in the price from the
present level in the immediate future.
A member of the firm of Phelps,
Dodge & Co. said this week: I'm
the copper market | think conditions
are such that We will see at least a
price of IA cents for the metal If
not Is before the middle of the sum-
mer.'

of the Importance attached TO the

posed TO influence the Hartman par

ton of the investment situation as
far as possible. That there is con-

assumed and the uncertain weak
