give them some Christmas money 10
spend and this big plant will not open
after today until Monday.
Although the w. B. Conkey COM
pany is rushed to death with business
and has orders enough ahead to last
for the next nine months, Mr.. Conkey
has decided to give his employees a va
cation over the Christmas holidays
until Monday. Mr.. Conkey says that
business has not been so good in the
last five years as it is now. and at
this Christmas holiday season he points
with pardonable pride to the fact that
his plant ran all through the recent
hard times and employed a number
of people while others were shut down.
| The Inland Steel company at Indiana
HaFbor plans to close down today and
will open again until Monday. This
will give the. men a fine Christmas
holiday vacation and will be greatly
appreciated
| Many of the other industries in Indi-
ana Harbor will also close and so far
as it is possible to learn Saturday viii
be as much of a holiday as Christmas
in most of the cities of the region
All of the churches in the region are
planning more or less elaborate Christ
lmas exercises and there will be a jolly
time in store for the little folks in
scores of Sunday schools. The Xmas
spirit is abroad in the land.

Present Outgoing Trustee
With Handsome Christ
mas Token.
SETS SOLID BRASS DESK SET
Recipient Thinks It Good Enough
for the President of the
United States.

Township Trustee F. Richard Schaaf
is the happiest man in Hammond to-
day He has received a Christmas
present from the school teachers of
North township which he says is fit
for the president of the United States.
But ii is not its intrinsic value as
great as that is, so much as the fact
that he is remembered by the school
teachers over whom he has had con-
troll during the past four years.
The present, which Mr.. Schaaf has re-
ceived from the school teachers is a
massive, solid brass, desk set This
consists of a bookholder, a match box
holder, cigar rest and ash tray COM
bined. paper knife curved blotter
holder, stamp box. an ink well, a
| spindle a wax sealing outfit, an i'm
proved paper weight and metal blotter
corners
All of these articles were of the
heaviest brass ana Mr. schaaf. himself
says that nothing could have been pur-
chased that would have been more to
his liking.
Remembered BY Beveridge.
Accompanying the outfit was note
which read With kindest regards and
Christmas greetings from North town
ship teachers" On the reverse side O.
the card were the names of Eta Hend
erson, Ruby Wilson. Della Fierse, Min
ME Schultz. Bessie Neat. Laura New
comb. Abbie Halfway, Martha Schaaf
Edith Carter. Elizabeth Brumm an,
Anna Emery.
Mr.. Schaaf took all of his friends il
to see the gift from the North town
ship teachers and was exceedingl,
proud of it Some time ago Mr.. Schaa
received fine framed portrait of Hor
Albert ]. Beveridge upon which wa
inscribed the senator's autograph an
an expression of friendship. The coun
ty chairman was no more pleased at tn
lreceipt of this gift than he was of tn
christmas present of the North town
ship teachers.

Tertiary term upon his captive. Sailer
is said to be q years of age and capable
of handling good positions in the local
rolling mill. He has not worked for
some time. however, finding it much
easier to take other peoples money
than work honestly for his own. His
little escapade. of last night, however,
may prove his undoing, and it looks
very much as though he will have to
spend at least two years of his life in
the Michigan City prison. The mans
home is said to be in Sharon, Pa
where he has well-to-do parents re-
siding. He asked last evening that the
news of his arrest be retained from that
city as long as possible. least it should
effect the health of either of his
parents.

Says He Tried to Play Joke on His
Friend-No Humor in the Law
From Well-to-Do Parents.
Especial to TIA TIMEs.l

Indiana Harbor, Ind. Dec 24.-As a
sclimax to as nice piece of detective
work as has ever been accomplished in
Lake county. officer Mike German, of
the local department, last night arrest
ed Edward Sailer. a resident of this
city, on charge of attempting to COM
nit robbery. Sailer was found on Penn
syvania avenue, fact-to-face with L.
Mark, a foreigner and demanding the
latter to share with him the proceeds
of a $40 check. which had just been
cashed. His demands We're made more
forcible by the use of a 22-calibre re-
lyolver. which he showed under Marks
nose.
In the arrest of Sailer, Chief of Po-
lice Higgins believes that the author of
many mysterious hold-ups in Indiana
Harbor has been located. Suspicion was
laid at Sailer's door several nights ago
and his steps were Swallowed by Officer
German in plain clothes. Last night
the suspect was seen on Pennsylvania
avenue in company with his prospec-
tive victim and the policeman instantly
decided that something was doing"
Follows His Victim.
Following closely behind the pair,
from fragments of their conversation
he learned that Sailer was trying to
get possession of the foreigners pay
check, issued by the Inland Steel COM
pany. Mark refused to deliver the
check but said that he would cash 1t
himself and then buy a few drinks.
With this in view, the couple headed
for Cohen's Auditorium buffet. Where
the money was received. Mark then
declared that he would not purchase
any drinks except at his boarding
place on Pennsylvania avenue, well
known saloon.
When but a few feet away from thi!
place, officer German saw Sailer grasI
his companion by the threat and agar
make demand for the money. The for
eigner. surprised at seeing the suddel
display of nerve on the part of Sailer
managed to break away and graspe'
the door of his boarding house Sale
in close pursuit Just as he was abou
to re-iterate his demands. and threat
ening to shoot Mark he made an out
cry. officer German took a hand in TN
little game.
Showing his star. and showing til
cold, blue muzzle of the large colt re
volver under the fellows nose, Office
German commanded him to hand owe
his weapons" which Sailer did wit
alacrity. He was then marched to tn
city jail and afterwards taken to Eas
Chicago by Chief Higgins.
Offers an Excuse.
Here Saiier declared that Mark ha
ATTACKED him and that he was onl
using his revolver in self protection. Fl
afterwards changed his tactics and sa
that he just wanted to see how bad
he could scare his companion. In II
light of past events. however, Chi

have to be made in a large territory.
The plans are for the grading to start
next month, which will mean the COM
mencement of the actual construction

So far there have been no contracts
for the work let, as the plans have not
