SECOND FIRE OCCURS
IN A GARY BUILDING
Department Is Called to
Place Owned by Off
Ger Swada.
ORIGIN REMAINS UNKNOWN
Flames First Discovered By Frank
Brink-1,15O Feet of Hose
Are Laid.
ORIGIN REMAINS UNKNOWN

For the second time within a few
weeks fire broke out yesterday morning
in the building owned by officer Frank
Swada of Gary. The fire occurred yes
terday at GAS in the morning just as
the officer was leaving his beat and
preparing to go home. The fire depart
ment responded Immediately and after
laying 1850 feet of hose they secured a
connection and easily extinguished the
blaze.
The second fire broke out in the same
place as the first fire. and like the first
one the origin is unknown. The fire
started in the rear and was first discov-
cred by Frank Brink, the expressman
who sent in the alarm.
The building is owned by officer
Swada and is occupied by a colored
woman by the name Of Mrs Smith who
runs a saloon at that place. The build
ing is located on the southwest corner
of Fifteenth avenue and Jefferson
street.
The new fire department responded
as soon as possible, and reached the
scene of the blaze as soon as possible
scene of the blaze in good time. They
found, however, that the hydrant was
located considerable distance from
the blaze and that it would be neces
| sary to lay 1850 feet of hose to get Z
stream of water on the fire. The worl
of the firemen was very commendable

SUPERIOR COURT OPENS
Lawyers from All Over Lake
County Are Present
at Session.

The Lake superior courtroom, this
morning, was about the busiest place
in the county. There were lawyers from
all over the county present and the
courtroom was crowded The buzzing
of conversation in low voice was so con-
tinuous that it was frequently neces-
sary for Judge Reiter to call for order.
The first case which was taken up
was that Of Schneider vs.. Ruff. This
was court case, as will be all of the
others which will be tried during the
early part of the week.
The next case will probably be Kas-
par VS.. Maginot The court cases as
far down as No. 1850, the Pittsburg, Fit.
Wayne and Chicago Railroad company
VS.. the Gary and Western railroad will
be tried up until Thursday.
On Friday nothing but motions fol-
new trials will be heard, and of course
there will be no court on Saturday

courts program for the coming week

MAKES a FLOATING COMPASS
Peculiarly of Magnetized Needle
When Placed In Water.

If a thoroughly dry and clean sew
ing needle is very carefully laid on
the surface of the water in basin
the needle will float in spite of the
high density of steel-seven or eight
times that Of water.
On close inspection it is found that
the surface of the water is depressed
under the needle, very much as if
there were thin film stretched over
the water. and slightly indented by the
weight of the needle. This property
OF liquids. of offering a certain assist
ance to force exerted upon their sur
face, is termed surface extension.
The magnitude of the force of surface
tension varies from one liquid to an
other. 1t is greatest in the case OF
mercury. The cause of the phenome-
non must probably be looked for IN
the attraction of the liquid molecules
to one another. A sewing needle, thus
floating upon water, may be used as a
compass, if it has previously been
magnetized. 1t will then point north
and south, and will maintain this po
sition if the containing vessel is
moved about; if the needle is dis
placed by force it will return to its
position along the magnetic meridian
as soon as the restraint Is removed

BOYS BREAK WINDOWS

(special to- THE TrMEs. )

East Chicago, Ind, Jan. A crowd
of small boys at the corner of One
Hundred and Forty ninth and Forsyth
avenues, yesterday succeeded in break
ing four windows of Hammond bound
car, by throwing small pebbles and
pieces of wood. The police were asked
to investigate the affair, and Sergeant
Bowen has succeeded in learning the
names OF two of the lads, with the re-
suit that they will be arrested this
morning. The lads are all members of
foreign families residing on the south
side and will likely be allowed to re-
turn to their homes after a severe rep
rimand.
The passengers, with the exception
of one woman, were unhurt. The wo-
man, whose name could not be learned
by Conductor Brown, was slightly
scratched about the hands by the
breaking glass but did not consider
her wounds sufficiently serious to de-
