Board Takes Up the Moving
Back of Buildings on
Thoroughfare.

The board of public works. having
under consideration the widening Of
Calumet avenue, this morning opened
bids for the moving back of buildings
on Calumet avenue. The buildings in
question are those belonging to War
rem, one building; Downing, two cot
tages; Defrates, one saloon, and Volk,
two cottages. Fred Cotton submitted
bid by which he agreed to do the
work of moving back all the buildings
for $720, while the bid of John Ahl-
born is only $3.50 The board has tax
en- the matter under advisement until
next Wednesday.
Jacob Kasper. superintendent of the
pumping station and keeper of Lake
Front park, appeared before the board
to secure an appropriation for the i'm

SEWER CAVES IN
At GARY TODAY
Lives Are Endangered in
Accident at the Steel
City.

a portion of the 100000 district
sewer in Gary, lying between Four
teenth and Fifteenth avenues and
Broadway and MasSachuetts streets,
caved in this afternoon. causing big
damage to the sewer and endangering
the lives of all who venture near the
fissure.
The sewer, which is one of the Iarg-
est in northern Indiana. has a diameter
of twelve feet and is buried twenty
one feet in the ground. The hole which
the raging waters inside and the water
logged sand from the outside have
caused, is big enough to bury a house.
All efforts of wOrkmen to stop the
moving sand as 1t sifted its way down
the embankment into the open brick
work seemed futile, and 1t will only be
"a matter of time when the brick chan
mel will be chOEed with 1t.
The greatest danger. however, exists
for the school children, who are
crOwding around it to satisfy their
curiosity. Any one standing on the
embankment when the sand begins TO
slip is doomed TO be dragged into the
sewer by the suction. A large force OF
workmen are at work trying TO make
immediate repairs.

"Der Erbonkle" at Towle's
on Monday Promises to
Attract Big Crowd.
HAMMOND MERCHANT LIKES It
Pabst Stock Company to Appear In
City Under Auspices of Saenger-
bund Fidelia.

Hammond people who are planning
to see Der Erbonkle," at Towle opera
house next Monday, have the assur-
ance of one of Hammond's prominent
and reliable business men as to the
merit of the play
NJ. Rothschild of the Model Clothing
store, who. in his many travels. has had
occasion to see actors act in their ma
tive tongue in various countries. says
that of all the plays he has seen, ii is
one of the best, and that despite the
fact that he has seen it twice he will
see it for a third time. next Monday.
Regular Patron of Powers
Mr.. Rothschild is a regular patron of
Powers theater. where the Pabst
Theater Stock company of Milwaukee,
which presents the play, appears every
Sunday evening. The company appears
in Hammond under the auspices of the
Saenge -Fidelia, and the indica-
tions are that the Germany players
will be greeted by a big house. Tick
cts have been on sale for some time
and may be had from F. C. Miller, 241
East State street, or at Jacob Schloer
shoe store, or can be reserved directly
at the box office.
This is the first time that Hammond
will have an opportunity to see a Ger
man play in this city presented by pro-
fesisonal actors, and the fact is appre-
ciated, especially when cities larger
than Hammond have tried in vain tc
secure the services of the company.

The Lake Shore dummy. coming

roads workmen. was wrecked this
morning near the pumping station, on
account of broken rail. Fortunately
the cars were empty, not having had
occasion to pick up any passengers,
otherwise there must have been many
fatalities.
The engine and the first two coaches
we've thrown off the track while run

Tie first car following the tender tele-
scoped into the tender and was splint-
cred to the center What was left of
of it jumped the track and stood
sauarsly across thzse tracks, thus
blocking traffic temporarily. The sec
ond car was also derailed and came
to standstiH with such a sudden
shock that any passengers which
might have occupied It would have
been more or less injured. The last
two cars remained on the track
The empty train usually goes at a
terrific rate. especially when empty,
and Engineer Wilson, who was in
charge, made no exception. He did not
know Of the broken rail until has ma
chine was off the track and fortu-
nately for him and the fireman, the
tender jumped the track in a manner
which gave their both a chance tc
crawl out of the cab.

~~~~~A~~~~~~~~~~ : I
TIMES BUREAU
AT THE STATE CAPITAL.

Indianapolis, Ind. April 23.-F. r.
Schaaf Of Hammond, republican coun-
ty chairman of Lake county, the man
who did things during the last cam
paign, has been at Washington, and
the gossips are wagging their tongues
as a result OF his visit. for they have
found that schaaf is exercising consid-
cradle power in Indiana political af-
fairs. 1t was Schaafs county that gave
the republican state ticket a great big
majority last fall, without which the
state would have been carried COM
pletely by the democrats. In that cam
paign he showed his capacity as an or
ganizer and as a political worker, and
showed that he can do things. Ever
since then there has been talk of Schaaf
for state chairman. to succeed James
P Goodrich, and the talk is still go
ing on.
But just what Mr. Schaaf went to
Washington for is the question that
has not yet been answered to the salts
faction of the politicians. It is the
opinion of many of them that he is
offering suggestions as to appoint
ments in this state but this is denied
by others.
In Peculiar Situation.
The republicans in this state are in
a peculiar situation in regard to the
parceling out of appointments. They
are entitled to as many places s they
had before the last election. because
the president is still a republican and
he makes the federal appointments But
the republicans have only two congress
men out of the thirteen from this state.
These are Congressman Crumpacker
of the Tenth district and Congress-
man Barnard of the Sixth These men
have full control of the patronage in
their respective districts. but they have
nothing to do with that outside This
leaves eleven congressional districts in
which the power of recommending men
for appointment rests solely in the
hands of Senator Beveridge.
Now. just where Mr.. Schaaf can get
into this game is a question, for no
senator or congressman was ever
known since the birth of man to give
up any of his public patronage unless
he had to- and It is doubtful to assume
that any of it is being given over to
Schaaf for distribution at this time
So the question is, What did Schaaf 60
/ to Washington for? Maybe it will all
! come out some day.
