frustrated by the cars motorman.
Mrs Metropa had been attending the
Greek Catholic church at Whiting, ac-

nome in the street car. L will walk
home, she told her husband At One
Hundred and Twenty eighth street she
gave a little cry and still holding her
baby in her arms, threw herself face
downward across the railway tracks.
Car stops In Time.
The car was stopped in time, how
ever, to prevent injury to the woman.
and the husband and father was at his
wits end. He succeeded in holding the
woman in check until the arrival of the
next car from East Chicago Again the
woman broke away from her restraint
and almost succeeded in throwing her
self in front of the car The motor
man had been warned at the East
Chicago crossing of the woman's condi-

The woman was again removed to a
place of safety and pinioned to the
ground until the arrival of Police Of

| ton she was taken to the Whiting
| police station. where she was attended
| by physician. She was then brought
to her home in East Chicago and an Of
| ficer detailed to watch her during the
night.
| About 5 o'clock last evening the
mania for self-destruction again took
hold of the woman and she made her
third attempt at suicide. Running to-
wards an open window on the second
floor she succeeded in getting both feet
out of the window, intending TO Throw
herself. to the ground below Had She

large pile of wood and undoubtedly
sustained fatal injuries.

a serious attack of illness with which
she was confined to her home for five
weeks. Her husband, an employee OF
the Republic Steel mills lost his posi-.
ton and the family larder has beer

Mr. Levi made a strenuous attempt

The trial was postponed for two hours

Praise and Blame.

The mere fact that praise and blame
are at present the corner stone of our
moral and social systems goes for
nothing. We shall outgrow that just
as we have more or less outgrown the
primitive desire to kill each other.
And can any one deny that world in
which blame did not exist would be
far more habitable, civilized and logi-
cal?

MARVEL THAT
He WASN'T KILLED
Business Men Complain of Narrow
ness of Calumet River Road to
Gary Where Second Other Bad Ac-
cidents Have Also Happened in the
Past.

G.. v. Bacon, one of the prominent
escape from death yesterday when he
was driving north from the Little
Calumet river ON broadway, south of
Gary, was attempting to pass a rig
containing T. w. EngIehart of HAM
mond and Gary and a party of CUSTOM
ers when he ran into the ditch and
his buggy was overturned.
The accident was due to the fact
that the road from the Calumet riv-
err to Gary is so narrow that it is al
most Impossible for two carriages to
pass. MIR. EngIehart was driving from
the river towards Gary when he no
ficed that some one was trying to pass
him.
In another minute he saw the horse
faI down the embankment and the bug
gy containing Mr. G. V. Bacon turned
completely over The accident happened
about p. m yesterday and it is a
marvel to Mr.. Englehart that the occu-
pants of the buggy were not killed.
EngIehart Aids Mr.. Bacon.
Mr. Englehart jumped out of his
buggy and with the assistance of his
driver they helped Mr.. Bacon to his
feet. At first it was thought that Mr..
Bacon had been dangerorsf-ssr n 5it,ffFessf..
-'C1r r. was soon found that outside of
being badly bruised and having an ugly
cut on his cheek he was not badly in

out the fact that South Broadway is

This street has become one of the
greatest thoroughfares in the county
in that it is the only connection be-
tween Gary and the farming district

There has been much complaint or
the part of both the business men OF
Gary and the farmers south of the city
over the fact that the county commits
sioners have delayed the matter of wild
ening this road and building the bridge
over the river.
