HAZEL DREW MET
LOVER TO EL0PE,
NEW THEORY
DISTRICT ATTORNEY DECLARES
he KNOWS WHO SLEW PRETTY
GovERNEss IN THE TEAL POND
MURDER MYSTERY.

TROY, n. Y, July 1S.-"My mind
Is made up concerning the murder OF
Hazel Drew. know who killed her.
| am certain that the murderer lives
In the neighborhood where the crime
was committed. I nave postponed the
inquest because, to be precipitate at
this time, might be fatal to the ulti-
mate arrest OF the person responsible
for this terrible tragedy. The evidences
80 far in hand Is circumstantial. The
postponement OF the inquest Is for the
purpose of making complete every link
In the chain OF evidence"
This was the statement made today
by District Attorney Jarvis p O'Brien.
who, with score OF detectives, Is
tracking the person who took the life
Of the pretty governess.
His statement leads TO the belief
that the case is in more satisfactory
condition for the ultimate meeting
out OF justice to the murderer than at
any time since the girls bruised body
was found in the dark waters OF Teal
pond. 10 miles from this city.
Seek Schenectady Admirer.
Coupled with this declaration of the
district attorney is the evidence of re-
Dewed activity on the part of the de-
tectfves on the case. Not only are
| they searching rrS researching every
foot u ground neaS Teal pond, but
the trails they have uncovered have
lead several TO seek in Schenectady
young man with whom II is declared
the 19-year-old girl was seen a few
hours before her lifeless body was
hrn int
These have been detailed to work
out the theory that the young man
and the young girl had planned to
elope and that trip to Sand lake
preceded their intended departure for
New York. Anonymous letters. which.
despite their lack of signature, appear
to have been written in good faith
by persons fearful of being dragged
into the case, have given the police
this clue.
Letter Gives Clue.
The belief OF the police Is that
Hazel Drew met her sutton by APP
| pointment at the Union station In
Troy, on the afternoon OF July q.
ready TO elope. They believe that he
prevailed upon her to check her suit
case and go with him for drive In
the country. That she accepted Is
evidenced by the statement of Mr..
IO'Brien, who admits that one of the
four anonymous letters contains the
statement:
Hazel Drew met a man at the -
depot. They drove to Averill park.
He returned In delivery wagon,
after midnight.
| Further than TO admit this, the
district attorney will disclose nothing
Of the contents OF the letters.
| Creditable witnesses have been
found who tell OF seeing Hazel In the
streets OF Troy on the afternoon or
both July 6 and q. Dist. Atty. o.
Bren says IL is therefore reasonable
TO accept the theory that Hazel spent
the night OF Monday. July 6. In Troy.
Where she slept is a mystery. In It's
solution the detectives believe Is
key which may unlock the door be-
fore which the investigation now
waits.

TO SOLVE PROBLEM
OF FIRE PROTECTION
Gary Town Board Holds It's
Regular Meeting
Today.
APPLICATION FOR CH|EfSHIF
Only Experienced Men Need Apply
Says Mayor Knotts-Contract
May Be Let.

At the regular meeting of the town
board this afternoon the all absorbing
topic which will come up for discussion
is the proper fire protection for this
city. Every member of the board is
anxious to see definite steps taken to-
wards the establishment of a fire sta
ton and equipment and they will find
out today just what they can accomp-
lish with the limited means at their
disposal.
There will be several applications
presented before the board for the Of
fee of fire chief and for firemen. These
will probably not be acted upon today
but if the men are present they will
b givn a chance to talk and show
their qualifications to the town board.
In choosing the members President
Knots said yesterday that they would
only choose experienced men or men
with enough experience so that they
would have no difficulty in learning.
1t is also probable that the contract
for the fire station will be let today
The building will be located on the
corner of Seventh avenue and Massa-
chusetts street, and the work will BIZ
started at once. There will be but
| men put on at the present timt
as the equipment will not justify using
many men, but the Improvement in tn,
service will be felt in fighting fires il
the future.

East Chicago. Ind, Dec. Evident
ly suffering with a wounded conscience,
Wavrin Skotinski confessed to Joe
Bernard, a foreigner living on Magoun
avenue that he had stolen eight
chickens and three rabbits. The rob
berry was committed last April, with
the assistance of one Charles Huhla,
of Barring avenue. Bernard Immediate
ly had warrants sworn out for the Of
finders and they are now in jail,
awaiting trial by Judge w. A. Reiland.
The disclosure occurred in strange
manner. Bernard paid the fine of the
confessor on charge of intoxication
some time ago, thereby proving his
friendship. In the light of his past
deeds. Wavrin thought it best to con-
fess his part in the robbery. The
chickens were prize ones, valued al
about $3.50 each, and he planned a COM
plete forgiveness. Not so with Ber-
nard, who had been waiting for an OPP
portunity to find the thief. Instead Of
words of forgiveness, Bernard made
dash for the local justice shop and sc.

TOLLESTON DIVISION
NEARLY COMPLETED
Interurban Division to Be
Completed by 18th
of the Month.
THE EXTENSION IS GRANTED
Company Hopes to Finish Work in
Two Weeks-Grading Ready
for the Rails.

The Chicago, Lake Shore & South
Bend, Toleston division is now prac-
tically completed and will probably be
in running order by the 18th of this
month, the time limit set in the fran
chise. They have already finished the
grading, which is the most difficult
part of the work of building this extern
sion. and the work of laying the rails
is now being started
IL the Chicago, Lake Shore & South
Bend road should not have their spur
into To1eston completed by the mid
die of this month the citizens of that
city will not be disposed to grant them
an extension as they were the last time
that it was asked for.
Recently the branch was inspected by
General Manager Wallace and Chief
Counsel Meyers. They expressed them
selves as satisfied that the work would
be completed in the required time.
The completion of the Toleston spur
will not only mean much to the citizens
of that city, but will afford an outlet
for Gary people who desire to live just
outside of the city in quiet suburb
such as Toleston There are now sew
eral Gary business men living at Toll
eston and they will soon have no diff
fculty in solving the transportation
question The Gary real estate men say
that it will also tend to boom property
in that direction for residence purposes

MAY GIVE
Town COLD
SHOULDER
Chicago, Lake Shore and
South Bend Railroad May
Decide to Give Battling
Nelson's Town the Grand
Razoo.

Is the Chicago, Lake shore & South
Bend Interurban company to give
Hegewisch the cold shoulder
If the rumors that are floating around
are to be given credence that Is to be
the fate of Battling Nelson's town.
The Chicago, Lake Shore & South
Bend company has been doing all it
could to secure the right to cross GER
tain streets in the town of Hegewisch
and Kensington. 1t has been baked on
every hand by the city officials of Chi
cago, who think they can compel the IL
linois Central, which has a traffic
agreement with the local interurban. to
eIectrify it's terminal in return for the
rights that may be given to the inter
urban.
The Illinois Central may decide to
electrify, but neither this railroad or
the Chicago, Lake Shore & South Bend
line officials propose to be brow beaten.
AS a result, it is understood that the
interurban line is to take a northerly
direction from Burnham and will pur
chase its right of way to the Pennsyl-
vania railroad cutoff and will run it's
cars into Chicago over this line until
the city officials relent and decide to
give the Chicago, Lake Shore & South
Bend line a franchise in Hegewisch.
The officials of the Chicago, Lake
Shore & South Bend line are very i'm
patient to make their terminal connec-
tions in Chicago. The line will be OPP
Grated at loss until these connections
are made. They see no hope of the
Chicago city officials coming to terms
and so they are casting about for an
other way to get into Chicago.
| 1t is understood that if these plan:
carry it will not be many months be
fore the patrons of the road in Gary
| and Hammond will be able to go all o
! the way into Chicago by interurban.
| In the meantime the expensive bridg'
| which has been built over the rail
road tracks east of Hegewisch, AM
the one which has been built over tn
river east of that place, will have to b
abandoned until the Chicago dogs il
the manger'' relent and permit tn
| road to cross the Hegewisch streets.
