TREsPASS is CHARGED
Trouble of Long Standing
Between Shoe Dealer
and Architect.

A warrant was served yesterday on
Architect Walter Hudson, which was
sworn out by w. S. Rawles, the Broad
way shoe man, who charged him with
trespass. The case is the result of
trouble of long standing over the erec-
ton of the building which Mr.. Rawles
is putting UP on Harrison street. near
Sixth avenue.
Mr.. Rawles claims that he had em-
p1oyed Mr.. Hudson to do the ARCHITECT
tural work for the building, and thae
after they had had misunderstanding
Mr.. Hudson was asked to sever his con-
nection with the work. This he refused
to do and continued to superintend the
construction work of the building. Mr..
Rawles ordered him to keep away from
the work entirely, and he also refused
to do this The warrant was then
sworn out for his arrest.
The trouble over the building occur
red when building commissioner Will
liam Kliver condemned the wall which
is being put in for the building He
said that it was not wide enough and
| ordered that it be replaced. This
trouble with the building commissioner
| is what led to the discharge of the ar
chitect and his arrest later.

charge of embezzlement, in which the
amount taken was placed at SIS. A
jury in Judge G. E. Reiland's court
in this city recently found Miller not
guilty and dismissed the case against
him. Mr.. Miller is naturally greatly
disturbed over the action of the brew

of East Chicago wants to pave Railroad

company owns considerable property,
for which they would have to pay bene-
fit assessments.
Attorney McGraw of Chicago and
Judge Gilpin. the company's FIT. Wayne

SCHOOL FOR COLORED
Gary Board Rents Building
Yesterday for School
on Broadway.

The Gary school board has taken the
first step towards segregating the ne
gro children from the white in the pub
lie schools.
building was rented yesterday, To-
Gated on Broadway, between Fifteenth
and Sixteenth avenues. which will be
arranged for school purposes. A col
ored teacher will also be hired, who
will be placed in charge of the school,
which will have from twenty five to
thirty pupils to begin. The separation
will not affect the two colored high
school students who are now attend
ing the Gary high school.
Although there seemed to be consid-
cradle sentiment, especially on the part
of the colored people, it has practically
subsidized. The colored people are salts
fed with the separation and all around
it is thought to be the most satisfac-
tory plan.

Crown Point, Ind, Dec. Is. - Many
Lake county farmers are today wonder

the recent tests for traces of tubercu-

been. They are also wondering wheth-
err the experts sent out by the state to
examine the bovines for tubercular

who have county wide reputation for
the SUCCESSFUL treatment of diseases of
horses and cattle, are right in their
diagnosis and examination of the two
cows that were killed yesterday for the
purpose of ascertaining their condition
with regard to the above dreaded dis
ease.
The tests made yesterday at the
farm barns of Theodore Staff, living
southwest of Crown Point. was upon
two cows that have been recently ex-
anined and condemned by the experts

The animals. both high priced milch
cows, were owned by Theodore staff
and Harry Collins, two Center town

EXPECT COMPLETION
BY DECORATION DAY
Attorney s. z. Keator, One of the
Prime Movers in the Project in
Gary Today = Is Enthusiastic
About Prospects-Says Work Will
Be Rushed While Weather Lasts.

Ground was broken yesterday at VAL
paradise for the building of the VAL
paraiso, Gary & Hobart interurban trac-
ton line, which is to have its western
terminus at Gary. What the other
terminus may be will be a matter of
conjecture for some, as Logansport is
making a strong effort to have the
line extended from Valparaiso to Lo-
gansport. This would give the north
ern part of the state an entrance to
the state capital and from there to the
big Ohio cities.
Attorney 8. 7. Keator, one of the
prime movers in the project, was in
Gary this morning and vouched for the
work that had already been done at
the Valparaiso end He said that big
gang of men will remain at work as
long as the weather will permit.
Complete by Decoration Day.
According to Mr.. Keator's statements
the company expects to have the road
in operation by Decoration day next
year and still expects to get a good
share of the business. He says that
the right-of-way has already been Sc
cured from Valparaiso to Hobart and
east of Hobart through the George
Earle property. Mr.. Keator does not
anticipate very much trouble in effect
ing an entrance into Gary.
While this project is moving along
Crown Point people are fretting at the
slow progress that the Gary and Grown
Point project is making. The bigges
obstacle in way of the Gary & Crown
Point road now is the non-completior
of the bridge over the Calumet river
but there is a growing sentiment tina
the Broadway entrance should be aban
doned and an entrance secured owe
one of the ether streets.
First Tangible Evidence.
The first tangible evidence that tn,
VALPARAISO, Hobart & Gary electric lin
is to be built came when party o
surveyors left Laporte on Monday, Val
paraiso on Tuesday and Hobart OF
Wednesday in an effort to locate tn
best route of the new line.
The new electric line, it viii be re
membered is financed by Keiter & Hop
kins. These men are both from Chi
cago, and Hopkins is the son of Senate
hopkins.
The best assurance that the projec
will be pushed to a successful com
pletion is the fact that John G. Earle
one of the largest property owners i
the territory through which the inter
urban will run, has his heart set o
the building of the line and will NOV
heaven and earth to bring about it's &C
complishment.
The company has already secure
franchises in Valparaiso and Hoba1
and have secured a large amount c
right-of-way from Mr.. Earle Throug

After a severe tryout yesterday aft
ernoon and physical examination by
the city health officer, DIR. T. B. Temp

act firemen for the city, to begin
duty at once Those selected out of
the fifteen or more applicants were:

Among other things the men were
asked to race for a quarter of a mile
through deep sand for the purpose of
testing their endurance.
Chief Feeiey questioned each man
carefully in regard to what he would
do in case of fire and various things
happened. Each man was examined
in this manner separately at the Gary
hotel and then put through the physi-
cal examination. The six men chosen
by the chief were those who have had
the most experience and would prove
the most competent fire. fighters in his
estimation.
Horse for Chemical Wagon.
A horse was hired yesterday from
the Gormley livery barn for the pur-
pose of trying out the new Wagon
which the city has purchased. The
chief and his men drove up and down
Broadway before the awe-stricken ma
tives who had not seen such a thing fol
many months and for the first time In
the city of Gary. Every one had beer
used to the chemicals pushed by hand
and the sight of the hose cart proved
welcome.

on the Gary fire department will reside
at the station so that there will be
full complement of men at the fir,
department headquarters at all times
The dormitories for the men have nov
been prepared.

DOPE FOR SICK HORSE
Approaches a Dentist in
East Chicago and Meets
Refusal.
TIMES EXPOSE HELPS SOME
Victim Hurries Away From Office
Much Confused and Board Street
Car for Hammond.
Especial to THE TIMEs.)

East Chicago. Ind, Dec. 15.-The CO.
caine fiend. practically driven out of
his accustomed haunts in Hammond by
the virile campaign urged by THE TIMES
several months ago, has made his ap-
pearance in this city. The new method
of obtaining the drug, as planned by
the first visitor to the city, is to re-
quest a considerable amount to be used
as a soothing medium for an injured
horse. The request has been made in
the office of a local dentist for a pre-
scription but was refused on account of
the purchasers personal appearance.
The attempt nearly worked, however,
and had not the request fairly teemed
with excitement, the .fiend" would have
secured his drug.
DIR. ]. Goldman, prominent dentist,
with offices on Chicago avenue. is the
man of whom the strange request was
made. Saturday evening, about $50
| o'clock, Dr. Goldman answered a call
| to his door and found standing in the
hallway a well dressed man, attired in
| a fashionable cut suit of clothes and
wearing a light, checked overcoat- The
| unknown visitor stepped into the office
and made known his wants. Doctor
he began, my horse fell and hurt its
leg and I want to put it out of mis-
cry. Will you give me a prescription
/ for some cocaine for this purpose?
| DR. Goldman, who declares that THE
| TIMES crusade against the drug was i'm
mediately brought to his mind, refused
the request and the mans subsequent
detection more than convinced him that
he was face to face with disciple OF
the drug.

self on the grounds that he had to ctach
a car and left the office, evidently much
perturbed. He was seen to get on a
Hammond street car with companion
about ten prinutes later.
The craving for those addicted to the
cocaine habit has evidently been in
creased during the past few months, as
druggists fear that the sale of the drug
will lresult in their exposure and sub
sequent expulsion from the practice OF
pharmacy. The visit to East Chicago
was APPARENTLY an experimental one and
had the local dentist given the desired
prescription, there is but little doubt
that dentists throughout the neighbor-
hood would be besieged by men with
sick horses

the action of the bolters In refusing
