Steel City Hears That Ac-
commodation Will BE Ex-
tended Within Few Weeks
and Trains Will Run Via
Gary & Western.
INTERURBAN NOW IN
STRONG COMPETITION
Has Furnished Easy Access to Ham
mOnd, East Chicago and Indiana
HarbOr-0pening of New Loop
Promises to Bring Back Much of
the Old Patronage.

It is rumored in Gary that within the
next two or three weeks the Lake
Shore railroad will start its loop line
suburban service from Gary to Chicago,
via the Gary & Western. The Gary &
Western line has been completed for
some time and the trainmen have been
expecting orders for some time to run
on the new road.
1t is expected that when the Gary &
Western is put in operation that the
people of Gary will have the best sub
urban service of any city in the re-
gion to Chicago. The loop formed by
the new track is an extension of the
Hammond Chicago loop service, the
new road meeting the old tracks in the
vicinity of Gibson.
The Gary & Western, like the Lake
Shore, is elevated through the city,
and passes through the city a short
distance north of the Michigan Cen
trail tracks. 1t then runs several
blocks west. curves to the north until
it meets the old Lake Shore tracks
which run direct to Chicago.
It is said that the business of the
Lake Shore has materially decreased
since the advent of the electric line
running from Gary to East Chicago,
Indiana Harbor and Hammond. Many
of their passengers which they carried
since the town starter are now travel
ing on that line because of the con-
venience of its time table. When the
Lake Shore starts to run on its sub
urban schedule, however, they will be
better able to compete with the inter-
urban

CROWN POINT IS
LOSING GROUND
Laborers for Court Bill Will Not Say
Die, Until the Legislature Ad-
journs-Hope to Pass Measure
Over Governors veto-Expect No
Opposition in Senate.

Mayor T E. Knots of Gary last
night returned to indianapolis, where
he. together with the other Gary repre-
sentatives. will make the last stand in
the fight to secure a superior court for
Gary and pass the court bill over the
governors veto.
Before leaving for the capital Mr..
Knots expressed himself as being
more hopeful Only five more days re-
main of the present session of legisla-
ture and no bill can be passed after
Friday afternoons session, unless Gov
ernor Marshall calls a special session,
which he is not likely to do. The Gary
delegation is confident that it can Sc
cure a majority in the senate and their
only hope seems to be that in the
rush Of other legislative matters they
may secure the necessary vote in the
house. The trading Of votes on the
Tomlinson bill may also materially aid
the Gary court bill in securing a ma
jority, but ii is not thought this is ne
cessary, as it is said on the Tomlin-
son measure they have a sufficient
number without Gary's vote.
The Crown Point bill will probably
never get out of the house. AS the
time is now so short and as the bill
has just left the house committee, it is
not thought that it will reach the final
roll Attorney John B. Peterson of the
County seat left for Indianapolis this
morning, where he will remain until
the close Of the legislature. The Crown
Point attorneys feel that Senator Bow
ser could easily aid them in putting
their bill through the senate. but they
are not looking toward this end, as
Bowser is working strenuously for the
Gary bill.

CONRAD MILLER
DROPS DEAD THERE
Singular Death Takes Place
in Whiting Last
Night.
DEATH DUE TO FUMES?
Celebrates Departure of Friend
and Then Falls in the
Street
Especial to THE TIMEs.)


Whiting, Ind, March lon his way
to celebrate the departure of his friend,
and accompanied by his wife and son,
Conrad Miller. 40 years old, who lived
at One Hundred and Eighteenth street
and Laporte avenue, dropped dead last
night only a short distance from his
home.
At the coroners inquest this after
noon heart trouble will in all proba-
bility be assigned as the cause of Mr.
Miller's death.
Mr.. Miller's sudden death has caused
a shock to his many friends here and
the people who intended to give a fare
well party a the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Peter Goebel in honor of Charles Pink,
came to the Miller home as courners.
Mr. Miller was employed in the
Standard Oil plant as a lead burner.
and. it is thought that the gas and
poisonous fumes from the molten metal
speeded his death. Yesterday after
noon he attended the funeral of Miss
Minnie Waldorf, the latters parents
and the Millers having been good
friends. After the funeral the Mllers
made arrangements to go to the fare
well party. Mr.. Miller and his only
son; Fred had prepared the ice cream
and carried freezer between them They
had only crossed the street when the
father asked the son that the freezer
be. set down. Hardly was this done
when the father felr PROSTATE across

The funeral has not been arranged
yet, but it will be in charge. Of the Mod

BUYS SOUTH PARK ADD.

J. H. Cooley. one of Gary's pioneer
residents. has purchased tract of land
in Section 80 from California parties,
approximating $4,000.
The property in question lies south
of the Calumet river near Broadway.
and is over 100 feet higher than Lake
Michigan. 1t lies on a high ridge and
will make an excellent residence dis
trict. 1t will be subdivided at once by
Mr. Cooley, as the First South Park
addition to Gary and then the lots will
be placed on the market.
OF late there seems to be a gradual
tendency among the real estate deal
ers to secure lands south of Gary and
all indications point to the fact that
this. in time, will be the residence dis
trict of the new steel city.

MAGGIE DODGES BULLET
Lodges in Floor Instead of
Her Head, So no Ar
rests Are Made.

The Gary police investigated an al
legged shooting scrape, in which Pevich
is supposed to have shot at Maggie
Dolan in a saloon in the South Side
district while he was under the infu-
ence of intoxicating liquors
The matter was investigated by Ser
beants Catey and Mulanhey. and they
did not think the trouble was suf-
hcient to warrant the arrest of the
principals. Maggie Dollan was un-
scathed and the bullet was found in
the floor
This is but one Of the many AFFAIRS
of the kind that are continually taking
place in the south side resorts in Gary.

WICKEYS PHONE BILL
Introduced Somewhat Late,
But Stirs Up a Hornets
Nest.
TIMES BUREAU
AT STATE CAPITOL.

Indianapolis. Ind, March Repre-
sentative Mickey, of Lake county. has
introduced a bill that will arouse the
ire of telephone companies throughout
the state The bill would require that
where two or more telephone com
panies operate exchanges in the same
city or territory they shall make con
nections of the lines so that a sub
scriber to one company may be able to
get a connection with a subscriber OF
the other company. This arrangement,
it was pointed out, would be a great
convenience to the public and 1t would
cut down the number of telephones in
use, for then there would be no need
of a subscriber having a phone of each
company when he could get the same
connection with one phone. But the
bill was introduced so late in the SEES
sion that it does not stand any show
of getting through.

Gaining on the White Plague.

Doctors and philanthropists ant
scientists of investigating in
stinct have for a number of years
Just passed been showing lis that
when the progress of public SEN
timent and public education an
relation to tuberculosis is suffi-
GENTLY advanced to enable civil
ization to tackle its greatest foe
with good knowledge, it will van
quish it.
Now comes confirmation of
these. theories, which many per-
sons have held to be too hopeful
and idealistic. Out of Washing
ton there is issued from the desk
of Greasy l.. Wilbur, of the Di-
vision of Vital Statistics, which
is an appurtenance Of the Census
Bureau, a statement which con
clusively exhibits that the great
white plague is upon the run in
America, and that soon it may be
completely vanquished # there is
no hesitancy in the pursuit of
those methods which already have
proved so effective.
Mr.. Wilbur points o1t that the
great attention which was given
to this disease through the Inter
national Congress on Tubercu-
losis held at the Capital in 1908,
and the dissemination of its con
illusions, through its scores of To-
cal adjunctS, already have told
markedly upon the statistics Of
tubercular ravages, in that at last
instead Of hating the progress of
tuberculosis we have attained a
point from which we are steadily
pushing it back.
In essence the statement of
Mr.. Wilbur may be presented in
the concise fact that in 1908 there
were in this country fewer by s.
600 deaths from tubercular dis
eases than for any other annual
period comprised within the pre-
ceding five years
This encouraging condition fur
nishes much hope to those who
have made it their interested de-
votiOn to ally themselves in the
battle against this scourge.
1t may be now conceded that
the Caucasian, having accepted
the knowledge which has been
freely conveyed to him by modern
medical science, is ready to pro
mote for himself those conditions
which are best calculated to de-
stroy the enemy That hybred
race which in this country springs
from miscegenation and is half
indolent, ignorant and disregard
full because of its dissolute white
and unteachable African parent
age, shows no statistical tenden-
cy toward escaping from a curse
laid upon it through the habits
which it has contracted since
leaving the plantation for the city

While the Caucasian is freeing
himself from the bonds, the man
