HOME SEEKERS ARE
COMING BACK AGAIN
Fewer People Out of Work
Now-Can Afford to In
vest in Own Houses.
MUCH PROPERTY TRANSFERRED
Month of August Shows an Increase
of Business in South Chicago Over
Similar Period Last Year.

Activity in South Chicago real estate
circles the past fortnight has caused
considerable comment among the local
dealers. There has been a revival of
inquiries among the home seekers who
a few months ago abandoned the idea
of purchasing homes due to the de-
pressed conditions of the times. Many
heads of families were either laid off
for time indefinitely or were working
half time, but now 1t appears that they
have been assured OF employment and
that the prospects are good wherein
they may be permitted to carry out
their previous plans.
Increase Over Last Year.
There has been an astonishingly large
number of transfers of property in the
South Chicago district during the month
of August and in excess, too, of the
corresponding period a year ago. In
yesterdays building permits issued the
largest amount involved was $4,000 and
consists of two-story frame fiat build
ing on the East Side, located at 9416
Avenue M. The permit was issued to

RIOT IS JUST AvERTEG
Officer Jenkins Is Attacked
by Ten Hungarians Armed
With Beer Bottles.

Another riot between the foreigners
and the police in Gary was narrowly
averted yesterday when officer Lewis
Jenkins went to the neighborhood along
the river, north of Gary. known as
Hungary Row, and attempted to make
an arrest.
He had a warrant for Sam Vernaich
and went to the foreigners shack and
got his man. Just as he was taking
him away he was assaulted by ten Hun
garians who attacked him with beer
bottles nd tried to take the prisoner
away from him.
The officer was being bested by the
gang and apparently was in for a bad
beating when he was reinforced by
several other officers They soon placed
the ringleaders under arrest and not
onyl Sam Vernaich, but Roda Kirkman n,
Joe Coftoge and Peter Mikeich were
arrested.
The men arrested will be prosecuted
for resisting an oflcer and will be

A NEW RINK TO Open
Indiana Harbor to Have a
Fine Amusement Hall
Opened.
Especial to The Times

Indiana Harbor. Ind Aug 81. The
Coliseum hall and skating rink will
open week from Saturday under the
management of Henry Lansfeld, of the
harbor. Mr.. Lansfield today told a
TIMES representative that the hall was
rapidly nearing completion and that
when finished it would be the finest
amusement hall this side of Chicago.
Il am having the skating floor fin
ished in III inch maple boards, all
smoothed to a glass finish. Absolutely
no pillars will be found on the floor
to interfere with the skaters, as is the
case in most Kinks.
An electrical organ, purchased at q
cost of $3.50 will provide music for the
skaters, and there is little doubt that
the rink will prove a boon to Harbor-
ties who have no opportunity at pres
ent to spend their spare moments in
any profitable entertainment. A feat
ure OF the opening night will be the
distribution of carnations by Manager
Lansfield. Punch will also be served
to the skaters.

SELL WITHOUT LICENSE
Gary Saloonkeepers Fail to
Procure New Charter
For Business.

City Clerk Oliver Holmes yesterday
upon looking up his records, found that
a number of saloonkeepers are vio-
lating the law in regard to the obtain
ing of licenses, as over a dozen of them
had been found to have expired with
out a renewal being taken out The
police were notified at once and they
began at once to notify the saloon
keepers to get their renewal or close
up. City Clerk Holmes says that there
are a number of places without any IL
censes at all. and that they did not
take one out when the table was put in.
These violations of the law which
are done wanton1y by certain saloon
keepers, are working a hardship on the
respectable element of the city. Those
who have been evading the law in the
matter of securing licenses are: John

Boasts That He Can click"
Any Man of His
Weight.

Il am over so years old and 1 can

So asserted Adolph Swan, a strap
ping octogenarian, at his home, 1884
Michigan avenue, today as he discuss
ed his .ysical prowess in the presence
of an admiring group. 1t all came
about as the result of a professional
call by physician at the Swan home,
to which he had been summoned to
attend the son in-law of the old man,
who, for some reason or other resented
the visit of the doctor.
Anyhow, there was difference along
the lines of an argument and then the
old man and the physician took holt"
of each other. The S1-year-old man
was in eombative mood. and says he
worsted the doctor. A court action
followed by Swan was discharged.
Yes, sir, I'm hefty and chesty and
am good for any sort of physical ex-
ercise, from throwing the hammer to
a contest with doctors or other per-
sons" Swan said. throwing out his

WIFE W|THORAWS CASE
Revokes Charges Against
Her Husband For
Desertion.

The case against John Laughlin, 1929
Superior avenue, who was arrested on
July 81 for cruelty and nonsupport on
a warrant sworn out by his wife, Ellen
Laughlin, was dismissed in Judge Tor
rison's court yesterday at the request
of the wife.
1t seems that when the case was
first brought up in court Mrs. Laugh
lin testified that ner husband hadn't
spoken a word to her for three years.
At that time Judge Torrison let Mr..
Laughlin go on parole if he would
change his conduct toward his wife.
The case came up again yesterday and
when Judge Torrison asked Mrs
Laughlin if her husband had spoken
to her lately she replied that he had
just said one word.
That's pretty good" said Judge Tor
rison. Now that the ice is broken
maybe by the next month he will have
spoken two words"
