THE GET TOGETHER CLUB
Whiting Man Starts an
Organization Among
Boys.
Especial to THE TrMzs)

Whiting. Ind. Jan. 27.-J. NJ. Smith,
Of this city, who is always interested
in the progress of the younger genera
ton. has devised new plan whereby
the fellowship spirit among the boys
of the city may be fttingIy developed
and exercised. The new club is called
the "Get Together Club" and unlike
most boys societies, wear no badge or
buttons. You can tell them without
a badge" said Mr.. Smith yesterday. for
they are in a class by themselves and
are everyone of them hustlers."
The object of the new society is to
formulate plans for the better gov
ernment of the younger boys of the
city. Age limits of 19 and Is have been
placed upon the membership list of the
new club and these boys will scatter
friendship among their friends and thus
form an endless chain that will bring
results that even the most skeptical
cannot denounce. The next meeting OF
the club meeting of the club will be
on Friday evening at Z o'clock and al
boys between the ages of 13 and Is are
invited to attend. The meeting will be-
held in the basement of the Congrega-
tional church.

GARY TOWN BOARD
LETSSEWER CONTRACTS
Nash and Dowdle of Gary
Are the Successful
Bidders.
HAMMOND MEN SUBMIT BIDS
Difference in Figures Is Nearly Two
Thousand Dollars - Alley
Will Be Widened.

The town board of trustees yester-
day afternoon let the contract for the
construction OF one district and three
local sewers. Nash Dowdle, of Gary,
were the successful bidders, among
the four who tried for the work. The
bid OF the Nash company was S7,259.22,
which was over a thousand dollars
cheaper than any of his competitors.
City Engineer A. P. Melton said that
the bid for the work was exceptionally
low.
The other bidders for the work yes
terday and their prices were: Shea
& OShea, OF Hammond, $s,S5O.52; w.
f. Brunt, of Hammond, $s.361S9; and
E. NJ. Schef1ow. of Gary, $945O5o. 1t
will be seen that two Of the bids were
the successful one, which is an un-
usually great variation.
Another matter considered by the
board yesterday. was the condemnation
of a narrow strip of property between
Jackson and Van Buren, streets for the
purpose of making the alley wider than
shown on the plat of the land which
has been accepted. The property is
located IN the lclnity or HOBART road
and If this alley is allowed to remain,
as it is at the present time, there will
be jog at this place OF over ten feet
in the alley where the new and the old
subdivisions come together. This is be-
cause of the fact that the alley in the
new plat is a little over ten feet wide.
which in the old it is over twenty feet
wide
1t has been the purpose of the city
to prevent as much as possible flaws in
the laying out of the city such as this
alley seems to be. and they will take
the necessary steps at once to have the
property condemned. This will cost the
owners of the subdivision four lots
whe nthe strip is taken from them.

Forty Seven Men Crowd
Into Room IL by IL Feet
to Spend the Night.

ALL ARE IN SEARCH OF WORK

All records were broken at the Gary
police station last night for housing
dodgers when forty seven men were
given shelter for the night.
About 1880 last night a TIMES man
was given a chance to look into the
lookup where the men lay asleep on
the floor. The room is only IL by 12,
but every available space was taken.
The men were stretched out on the
floor with their heads resting on their
coats, packed in just like sardines in
box. On top Of the cell eight men
lay peacefully sleeping, regardless of
the heavy breathing and snores Of their
companions.
Upon asking If a big raid had been
made during the evening. Sergeant
Dowling enlightened the reporter
NO; we have only made on arrest
tonight. These men are foaters who
have come to Gary in search of work
and rather than be outside in the cold
air all night they have come to the
station for lodging. This breaks all
previous records. I remember one night
when We had forty-two men in that
room. but If any more come tonight
don't know where we will put them. .
Forty-seven men lying on the floor
of a IL by II room as certainly a
sight to behold Some had their shoes
and coats off. but others had curled
up on the floor without any ceremony
of retiring. The coal stove in the room
was burning brightly. but the air was
none too good. but those inside cared
little.
Big. strong and healthy looking men
were there who had probably left their
families behind them and walked many
miles to Gary in the search of work
The cause of the horde of men comine
to Gary in search of employment can
be laid to no other cause than the ad-
vertising that Gary gets through the
newspapers and magazines as to the
/ buildings that are being erected and
the other business being carried on
