number of people at the yards of the
Lake Shore railroad in Indiana Har-
Dor.
Killoran with a companion, John
McDougall. was beating his way on a
freight train, bound for Philadelphia.
He was boilermaker by trade, as a
union card carried in his pocket would
indicate, and had told his companion.
whose acquaintance he had made on
the short journey between Chicago and
Indiana Harbor, and who was also
beating his way east, that he had been
idle for long time and that he was
going to Philadelphia in the hopes OF
finding work.
AS Indiana Harbor was reached, the
pair, who had been shivering on the
top Oh a DOA Cdr On d 1dSl 1IS1S

|NTERURBAN ROAD
PRAISED BY NORTON
Gary Commercial Club Holds An Important Bust
Meeting and Does Things in
Forcible Manner

living up to its promises in every re-
spect and, by the energy with which it
carried forth the work of constructing
it's line.
He said this company was now en-
gagged in building a branch road along
the west line of the first subdivision to
Toleston and If transportation facilities
were first offered to this part of the
ely and the service was superior to
that of the Gary & Interurban line, the
people would settle in that vicinity,
close to a good resience district and
close to the subsidiary concerns which
are sure to be located north of Toles-
ton.
The originality of this suggestion and
the force with which it struck the
members of the Commercial club,
startled them and a committee was at
once appointed to investigate the kind
of franchise the city really has given
the Gary & Interurban company. This
committee Is composed of Clarence
Bretsch, chairman, C. V. Ridgley,
George McGinnity, C. H. Maloney and
George Bardon.
It will be noticed that most, or all
of these committeeman are lawyers.
and when they make an examination
and an investigation of the franchise,
which was granted in the fact of the
opposition of the Gary citizens a year
or so ago, they will report to the club
and this organization will then hire
an attorney to force the company into
an agreement to complete the work in
reasonable time or compel a forfeit-
rue of the franchise.
The rails and equipment Of the line
was criticized and the attitude of the
Gary town board was looked upon with
| disfavor. A committee was appointed
| to confer with the board members and
| find out what they propose to do in
/ this important matter.
| Never since the granting of the
franchise to the Gary & Interurban
company have the business men been
so aroused to the necessity for TAX
ing immediate action to insure the in
stallation of traction service and the
| developments of the next few weeks
will be watched with interest.

HOLLAND BUILDS

East Orange Inventor Won't

HAS DOUBLE THE SPEED
OF ANY u. S. MODELS
Can Make Thirty Knots an
Hour Crossing Ocean and Stay
Submerged a Long Time.

John p. Holland, the inventor OF the
first successful submarine boat, whose
home is in East Orange, has invented
a new deer sea submarine. which, he
declares, will be able to cross the At
lantic and will revolutionize modern
warfare.
Mr.. Hollands latest invention has
been sold to a foreign government, and
unless the inventors schemes mis-
carry the plans will be on their way
across the seas within a few weeks.
1.-THE new boat will have~a speed of
thirty knots an hour under water" de-
clared Mr.. Holland today. at will be
manned by a crew OF FIVE and will be
SO constructed as to lift h submarine
from the plane Of a coast and harbor
defense to an instrument Of aggressive
warfare.
"Ths boat which I have perfected
will be capable of going on the longest
voyages that a battleship ever under
takes; in fact, It Is designed to accom-
pany q fleet. 1t can remain entirely
submerged for hours and will have
twice the speed OF the mos. improved
models now used by the United States
Mr.. Holland was asked II his reasons
for selling his pans to a foreign gov
eminent, rather thar the United States
were entirely pecuniary.
Absolutely so," he replied. "Th'
United States Naval Department dis
counts new inventions and places {
premium upon secondhand ideas. Unit
a thing Is tested abroad the Navy De-
partment will have nothing to do will
it. such a policy is forcing American
inventors to the shameful necessity o.
selling their inventions to other coun
tries.
81 do not care to make public thu
country with which 1 have been ne
gotiating. but 1 a say that after
was repealed by the American officials
I was warmly received by high nava
officers of foreign countries"
The inventor declined to discuss de-
tails Of his new invention, except in 8
general way. The new boat, he said
would be cigar-shaped. could be SUM-
to any depth down to 200 feet and would
be strengthened in reference to 1T
power to resist pressure under water
1t would discharge a torpedo at twic,
the speed Of the present torpedo, hav
ing the speed of a Whitehead torpedo
