NEW MAN At HELM

John W. Call was installed as post
master of Gary yesterday and Thomas
Knots, who was the first postmaster
of the new steel city, turned over the
office to his successor.
According to Call, he has found the
office in splendid condition considering
the fact that Mr.. Knots has had so
little help and encouragement from the
government in his efforts to give the
Gary people good service.
Call hopes to see the Gary office
raised to the second class by the first
of July and if his hopes materialize
it will mean a great improvement in
the postal facilities all around
To Get New Delivery Case.
One Of the first changes that Post
master Call viii make will be to in
stall new general delivery case. This
has already been purchased and is now
on the way to Gary.
One of the complaints that has been
made Of the local office has been the
fact that the general delivery service
is so poor that the patrons have had to
stand in line for a long time each morn
ing to wait for the distribution of the
mail.
There will be no new clerks for the
time being, but the revenue of the Of
fee has been steadily increasing and it
is hoped that the department will do
something for Gary in the near future.

MYSTERIOUS EXPLOSION
But No One in Lake County
Seems to Know
Aught OF It.

A mysterious explosion which shook
northern Lake county from boundary
to boundary reverberated through the
night about 8 o'clock last night and
while it was felt in all the towns and
cities, most severely in Gary, up to
noon today it had not been located.
The only solution that is offered is
that one of the dynamite shacks near
one of the tunnels that are now in
progress in and around, went into the
air. The Aetna powder mills naturally
came in for a big share of presumption
last night, but fortunately there was
no explison there, although it was very
plainly heard there.
w. W. Edwards, superintendent of
the plant said this morning: when
we heard the report we were as anxious
to find where it was as anybody else,
but thus far we have not yet located it.
No. it was not in Aetna"
The shock was most severe in Gary.
There it rocked the buildings and
shook the lamp chimneys from the
lamps.

MAN HUNT IN
SOUTH CHICAGO
Joseph Weger's Saloon is
Robbed and the Safe
Tapped.
DOG GIVES FAMILY ALARM
Drag-Net Spread By Police and
All-Night Manhunt Takes
Place.

The biggest man hunt that was ever
instituted in South Chicago began last
night about o'clock when 1T WINS
learned that a skilled safe breaker had
robbed the safe in the saloon of Joseph
Wagner at 1884 Green nBy avenue.
Twenty day men were enjoying their
nights rest in the Fifteenth precinct
poilce station when they were called
out by Lieutenant Joseph Smith, who
also ordered out the plain clothes men.
twelve in number. The East Side. too,
put squad in the field to find the
daring burglar. Despite the efforts of
the police the fellow is still at large
and it is doubtful whether he will ever
be caught, since his work showed him
to be a professional in his line.
Dog Awakens Sleeper.
About 1890 last night Mrs. Wegner
was awakened by the bark of the fam
lily dog 'Shep." He was on the outside
Of the building and carried on in an
unusual manner by marking and
scratching at the door. Waking her
husband, the couple went to their safe
and found the door wide open, showing
clearly that the combination had been
worked and that it was the work of a
professional. instead of calling the
police Immediately, Mr. and Mrs. Veg
ner lost considerable time Iamenting
their loss of $3.50 and s125 in checks.
At o'clock the call came into the po-
lice station and Immediately the place
was alive with officers and plain

superintendent William Writ Decides

will have no graduating exercises this
year because of the peculiar fact that
members of the local high school, which
has an enrolment of fourteen, are

large number of students would not re-
turn. In stepping Immediately into the
high school work without a graduation,
they are made to feel that it is but a
grade higher, and is necessary to the
completion of their education.
