had a client who came regularly
every evening at certain hour to
the house and remained in his pri-

though she knew it was against her
husbands desire. she entered the
room with a salver in her hand, and
offered the gentleman "a dish OF
tea, as it used to be called in eigh-
teenth century parlance. Mr. Scott
very coldly refused it, but the stran-
ger bowed and accepted cup. Pres
emily he took his leave. Then Mr.
Scott seized the empty cup and threw

chorus girls. 1t believes that there are
some girls here who would like to be-
come footlight fairies. To get the
prettiest, liveliest and shapliest chorus
girls in the country, it is going to open
a free training school in Chicago July

aspirant to possess is beauty, next voice

one by way of Ottawa being 237 and

Branstetter reports a route that will

DYER SCHOOLS CLOSE POLICE WORK ON CASE
Commencement Exercises
Are Held-Four Gradu-
ates This Year.
Especial to THE TIMEs).

Dyer, Ind, June 9.-Commencement
exercises of the Dyer schools were
held here last night, the exercises hav-
ing taken place in the Dyer school
building.
The school room was by far too
small to accommodate the crowd of
people who wanted to be present to
hear the program. People were there
from st. John and Schererville and
Crown Point.
A regular program had been pre-
pared which included essays by the
four graduates, Edna Peacock, Alma
Keilman, Louis Wolter and Christ Am
bre. A comic dialogue entitled. Social
Troubles wound up the affair. The
music in the program was a pleasing
feature, especially the trio on the piano
violin and cornet.
County Superintendent F. F. Heigh-
way of Crown Point was present and
addressed the gathering at length. He
spoke on a subject which is very near
to him and in which the people Of st.
John township are vitality interested
the township high school. st. John
township at the present time has no
high school of It's own and those who
would like to attend school are COM
PEELED to go to Crown Point or else
where.
The interest in a township high
school is growing each year and there
are enough large school buildings IN
the township where the high school
could be conducted.
Superintendent HIGHWAY also spoke
on music in the schools and the art
of gardening and identifying the schoo
yard.
At the close of the exercises Theo
dore Hammer, the teacher of the school
was congratulated by his patrons TO
the good work that his school haC
l done in the past year.

STREET CAR FATALITY
Dean Hamilton Gets Frac-
tured Skull on Gary's
Street Car Line.

The first street car accident in the
new steel city of Gary, occurred this
morning in the vicinity of Seventh
avenue and Broadway when Dean
Hamilton was struck by car number 1O1
in charge of Conductor Frank Bow
man, and run by Motorman Bert Con-
ming.
Dean Hamilton was crossing the
street and did not see the car coming.
1t struck him while going at nearly
full speed and knocked him from the
track His face was cut and it is
feared that his skull is fractured.
Hamilton has been unconscious ever
since the accident happened and the
doctors who have attended him, fear
for his recovery. The man is not very
we'll known in Gary and all that is
known acout his connections Is that
he has a relative in Kansas City by the
name of l.. II. DePugh.
The injured man is a laborer and II
is believed that he was out looking
for work when the accident happened
The cars have no tenders and this, the
first accident of the kind in the city,
will probably point out the necessity
for this protection.

Whiting People Shocked at
the Robbery Of Sacred
Heart Church.
Especial to THE TIMEs).

Whiting, Ind, June 9.-The Whiting
police today are trying to fathom the
mystery created by the robbers of the
Sacred Heart church, who after rob-
bling the church Saturday night put
their booty in box car and deserted
it.
The discovery was made yesterday
evening when Conductor Bell of freight
train No 81 was making up a train in
the c., L. S. & E. yards at Whiting.
Before taking the cars out OF the side
track the brakemen inspect each car
to see If it is empty and in inspecting
this particular car, found the sacred
vessels.
There being no time. however. for
the robbery, to make inquiries. took
them along to South Chicago, where he
established the ownership.
Looks Like Work of Tramps.
The church robbery now looks like
the work of tramps. but 1t is rather
strange that after they had secured
what they wanted that they should
leave it in a box car. They also had
an opportunity to take more of the
gold and silverware from the church,
but this they evidently overlooked pur-
posely. The stolen articles will be sent
to Whiting today, where Father Berg,
the pastor of the church, will Identify
them.

Dis-egarding his mothers repeated
injunctiOns to remain away from the

little friend, John FurtyO, nd together
they enjoyed themselves dipping cars.
steve DufaIIa lies dead in his home to-
day with one leg cut of after he had
fallen under a C. L. s. & e. train.
The two little fellows, who live at
One Hundred and Nineteenth and Cen
ter streets sneaked away from their
homes yesterday afternoon without
their mothers knowing where they
had gone.
When the fun of Tipping cars became
too tame, the youngsters tried to pull
each other off the cars and after Fur
tyo had succeeded in bringing Dufalla
down a second time. the lad slipped un-
der the wheels, which took one of his
legs off.
hum Sees Horrible Sight.
No grownup people noticed the acct
dent and there lay the little manned
boy and his chum standing besid him
and crying when the train crew ar
rived.
The injured boy was hurried to the
office of Drs Lauer & Hoskins, where
every possible aid and attendance was
given him. The parents of the chill
dren were notified and they arrived
just in time to see Steve pass away.
He survived his fearful accident only
two hours.
The two boys are only two of a score
who have been making a practice of
going to the yards for the sport OF
Tipping trains, the younger ones having
| learned the practice from the older
ones. They have been warned time and
again by the train crews and their
parents. but the instructions were left
unheeded, until now little Steve Dufalla
had to pay for the lesson with his
young life.
The parents are almost FRUSTRATED
| by the shock of the loss of their little
| son.
The inquest was held by Dr. B. w

selected from this school for the posi-
lions in the various companies the
company will send en-
tour September 1. The Askin- Singer
company has a well won reputation for
their kind and appreciative treatment
of the chorus girls in their companies.
Last season there were several in
stances of chorus girls playing import
ant parts who had begun at the lowest
step of the ladder a year ago and con-
sequently there is a great demand for
positions with their organizations. Any
girl who wishes to enroll herself for
this course of tuition must make a
written application. and it must be en-
dorsed by her parents or guardian, for
this firm looks upon its selection Of
chorus girls as of just as much import
ance as any other branch of its bust
ness. and only wishes girls who are
serious and ambitious for advance
ment. Her photograph must accompa-
ny this letter of application, and IL she
can send a letter of recommendation
from her singing or dancing teacher. or
both, with her application, so much
the better.
The Askin-Singer company pays its
chorus girls $40 per week, which is 81
more than the average chorus salary.

Takes Time.

It is true that the civilized world Is
gradually shedding its superstitions,
but the process is slow. We have in
this country the finest hospitals in
the world, surgery and pathology are
in high state of development, but
we have countless citizens, OF more
or less eminence, who carry potatoes
in their pockets to cure rheumatism.
