TRESPASS CASE WAS UP
Gary Man and Affinity Try
to Paint Each Other
Black.

The case of B. E. Linn of Gary.
which was started some time ago in
Judge P L. Fitzgeralds court, in
which he was charged with trespass by
his former affinity, Miss Mary Brooks,
was disposed of yesterday, the judge
finding him guilty. The decision means
that Linn does not own an equity in the
property, as he claimed, and that the
house was owned entirely by Miss
Brooks.
The case finished as sensational as it
started. both admitting that they were
bad and one trying to prove the other
was the worst. The outcome OF the
case depended upon the establishment
of the fact whether or not Linn owned
part of the house. In that case HE
had right to enter on his own prop
erty. If, however, he did not own any
equity in the property. the woman had
the right to order him off.
The decision in Judge Fitzgerald s
court may affect in a way the suit be-
ing filed in the Lake superior court, in
which Linn is attempting to recover
or establish what he claims is his share
in the property. Linn will pay his fine
and will be dismissed.

and Extended in the
Past Year.
(special to THE TrMEs.i

Tolleston, Ind, Dec. 16.-The board
of trustees met Monday evening and
prepared the assessment roll for dam
ages and benefits in the matter of the
opening and extension of Martha street
west of First street. This was very
tedious work. The town board worked
very hard this year opening streets.
Warren street will be two miles long.
Another street of equal length is Bor-
mann boulevard, which is also two
miles long and which is now being
graded and paved to a width of forty
feet After completion it will be one
of the finest automobile roads in the
county First street is opened and ex-
tended to the Little Calumet river, a
distance of almost two miles. Besides
this there were some streets opened
for shorter distances. This all shows
that the town board is attending to the
street opening, widening and extension
now while it is time and when it can
be done with much less expense than
afterwards
At the last regular meeting a plat of
Colgroves addition to Tolleston was
approved. This parcel of land is right
in town, between Fourteenth and Fiji
teenth streets and Fourth street rum
ming through the center.

GARY BEGGAR ARRESTED
Is an Expert in Exciting the
Sympathy of the
Public.

Frank Goodland was arrested by the
Gary police yesterday on charge of
being drunk Goodland is a very fam
iliar character in police circles. al
though he is known by several different
names throughout the county. Good
land is one of the most expert pro-
fessional beggars in the country, and
his efforts to excite sympathy are moth
ing short of marvellous. The. beggar is
probably the most depraved looking
man ever seen in the city and does sue
coed in exciting much sympathy enough
class of easy ones that he finds hanging
around saloons.
Yesterday Goodlands stunt was to
stand in the middle of the street car
and compel the motorman to stop. He
would then clamor on the car and ride
until he was put off, making believe
that he was insane The man hoped in
this way to secure few nickels from
the passengers.
During the morning Goodland as: he
calls himself, spent his time in the
saloons pretending that he was deaf
and dumb. Whenever anyone asked him
to take drink, however. he responded
so quickly that the BLUM did not work
very WELL Goodland has been arrest
ed several times before in Gary and
other places in the vicinity.

SCHWAB GIVES
STEEL SECRET
Former President of u. S.
Steel Corporation Is
Interviewed.

Washington, Dec. 15.-Much infor
nation regarding the cost of making
steel was given to the house ways and
means committee today by Charles M.
Chairman Payne of the committee be-
gan a cross-fire of questions by asking
Mr.. Schwab about a letter which had
been referred to by previous witness.
This letter was written by Mr.. Schwab
to Henry c. Frick May 16, 1899, and
declared that rails were being made
for less than s12 a ton, or nearly 81
less than the cost in England.
In the letter Mr. Schwab predicted
that the Carnegie Steel company, of
which he was president, would be able
to increase its net earnings $3,600,0 900
a month, and said it could sell all of
it's surplus production abroad at a
profit nearly equal to the profit on do
nestle sales
Before proceeding with his testimony
Mr.. Schwab. on being questioned, said
that the Bethlehem Steel company, of
which he is president, was not affiliat-
ed with the United States Steel corpor-
alton, but he was a stockholder in the
latter corporation. He also said the
letter to which he was being ques-
toned had been prepared at Mr.. Frick s
solicitation and was written in an OPP
timistic vein.
Mr. Schwab gave detailed state
ment of the cost of making pig iron
and steel rails, which indicated that
the present cost of manufacturing pig
ir $14 a ton, compared with SIS a tor
in 1899; while the cost of steel rails
now is $3.50 a ton, compared with 81:
| ton nine years ago.

House.
The hopes of the "insurgents'' for a
revision of the rules were blocked
when Mr.. Gardner failed to obtain the
adoption of an amended resolution
calling for the appointment of a com
mittee to consider the subject.
BY. a vote of 149 to 1875 the house
voted to take away from the commit
tee on foreign affairs consideration of
the resolution, which in its original
form simply called for information from
the secretary of state regarding what
the British house of commons had done
in that regard. A ruling by the speak
er that the amendment of Mr.. Gardner
changed the character of the resolu-
ton in such way as to not make it
privileged was sustained and the reso-
luton then was laid on the table.
The remainder of the day was taken
up with the bill to revise the penal
laws.
The presidents Panama canal mess
age was read in the senate today and
it's reading was received with loud
laughter by some of the senators.
Senator Foraker endeavored to have
the senate adopt resolution calling
on the secretary of way for detailed
information concerning the men en-
ployed, instructions given, and expenses
incurred in the investigation by de-
tectives into the Brownsville affair but
Senator Warren objected and it went
over tomorrow.
