CAN'T AGREE
ON FRANCHISE
Whiting Citizens Suffer
From Franchise Grant
ing Troubles.
Especial to THE T1MEs).

Whiting, Ind, Sept, 14.-Whiting is
suffering from the first spasms that
seemingly prevail in any community
in which a street car franchise is the
leading question.
The city council met last Saturday
night in a special session to further
consider a franchise that was intro
duced last week at the regular cohn-
ell meeting. but no agreement was
reached.
That Whiting wants the new com
pany to enter seems conclusive, but
there is big difference of opinion as
to the route that it should follow in
the city limits. Some of the residents
are dissatisfied as to the route pro-
posed by the company. they preferring
to have their streets free from street
car tracks, while others would prefer
the line to run on Ohio street instead
of on Standard avenue.
This difference of opinion existing
the council has preferred to leave the
people decide the route and will ac-
cordingly advertise the matter and lat
er call massmeeting to get the senti.
ment of the city.
Mr. Erb. the representative of the
syndicate which is promoting the line
was present at the meeting and hs
too is satisfied that the people shoulC
decide for themselves as to the route
The syndicate proposes TO max,
Whiting a terminus with local service.
and run interurban cars TO East Chi
cago, Indiana Harbor and Gary.
Everything seems to be satisfactor,
up to the present, excepting the rout,
in Whiting.

TO ABOLISH SMOKE NUISANCE

Important Developments are sched-
uled to come up before the Chicago city
council tonight. in which many bodies
of Chicago's civic strength are deter
mined to have a cleaner city. They
will rush their law making represen-
tatives in the city council with prop
osition which. is believed, will make
the Illinois Central railroad come to
time and ekctrify its lines within the
city limits, thus abolishing the smoke
nuisance" which for years has hind
cred the progress of the Identification
of the city.
Want Road to EIectrify.
At meeting of representatives of
the Woodlawn Improvement assecia-
tion, South Park Improvement associa-
tion and the powerful Hyde Park I'm
provement association, held Friday
night last a petition was drawn up
and circulated calling on the city coun-
ell to refuse to grant the Illinois Cen
trail permission to cross fifteen streets
in Kensington with its new connection
with the Kensington and Eastern to
Gary unless the road in return will
electrify its tracks in Chicago from
Randolph street to the city limits.
Give LittIe-Want Little.
This is the whole proposition in a
nutshell: The associations are giving
very little and are wanting very little
in return. The city council now holds
the bull by the horns. because it is
known that the /. c. people are ex-
| tremely anxious 10 complete their lines
! through Kensington. The work has
been delayed from time to time on ac-
count of the l. c. not having the fran
chise to cross these streets in Kensing-
ton. As soon as this connecting link
is completed the Illinois Central will
have a through lire over the Kensing-
ton and Eastern and the Chicago. Lake
Shore and South Bend. its terminal
point being South Bend.

nights meeting of the city council re-
mains to be seen.

Seven Year Old Boy Tries to
Rouse Parent From Drum
ken Stupor as He Lies
Sprawled Across Michigan
Central Tracks at Gary.
CURSES THE OFFICER
WHO. SAVED HIS LIFE
West Pullman Man Takes His Child
Along on Drunk-Wants to Go
to Toleston But Fails a Prey to His
Passion in the Steel City-0rdered
Out of Town.

A little seven-year-o son yesterday
afternoon bravely attempted to res
cue his drunken father from the tracks
of the Michigan Central railroad at
Gary, just as the 4:57 West bound pas
senger train came along. The efforts
of the little child, however, were fu-
tile, and were it not for the timely ar
rival of Chief Mulcahey, who. in a
flash, dragged him from the tracks, at
the risk of his own life. the father
certainly would have met his death.
Curses His Rescuer.
The man. who was we'll dressed and
had a prosperous appearance, stated
that he lived in West Pullman and had
come to Toleston, where he intended to
visit a relative. He refused to give his
name A rig was secured for him and
he drove to Toleston at once. Instead
of thanking the officer for saving his
left, Mulcahey only received bitter
curses for disturbing his drunken
stupor
SpraUIed on Track.
The little child standing on the track
with the passenger pulling out of the
depot at Broadway and fast approach
ing Washington street. alarmed the
officer as he saw him standing there on
the track, evidently playing there and
unaware of his danger. AS MulcaheS
reached the spot. he was dumbfounded
to find a man sprawled across the
tracks insensible. In an instant he
was jerked to his feet and thrown to
one side of the track.
As soon as he could be aroused, he
began to hurl volley of curses at the
man who had rescued him, while the
boy stood by with a look of gratitude
in his eyes.
Who is this man?' asked the officer.
why. that's my father" replied the
little fellow, scarcely realizing that his
father was paralyzed with intoxicants.
Ordered to Leave Town.
Mulcahey then proceeded to tell the
of one who would take little child
with him on a drunk and warned him
to get out of town at once or he would
bearrested. He asked for a rig with
which he could drive to Toleston, and
he was furnished with one from the
Gormley livery stables.
1t is not known now the man hap
pened to stray to Gary but it. is
thought that he had taken the train
to Gary and intended to make connec-
ions with Toleston at this place which
would be the most convenient way fol
him to get to Toleston. He arrived al
that place safely, however, after he hac
been sent on his way, for the rig wa:
returned in good shape.

Lake Shores Outer Termin-

The Lake Shore Michigan South
ern railroad will build a large outer
terminal yard on its lines east of Mil
lers, toward Dune Park, involving a
cost conservatively estimated at So
100000. Work will in all probability
be begun during the next year and
the yards will be completed by 1910.
This yard will be at the intersection
of the Lake Shore with the Indiana
Harbor belt line, where there will be
an interchange of business for west
