WOULD MEAN A
LOT TO GARY

A committee of the railway train
men of Gary went to Chicago today
upon the call of the international of
ficials it is said, to confer with them
concerning the recent strike situation.
This has made the Gary situation take
on a more serious aspect than 1t ever
has before and the possibility of In
volving Gary in case the strike spreads
seems great.
Following upon the fact that the
committee of the Railway Trainmen's
union left for Chicago today it became
known that General Superintendent
John Kirk of the E., & E. had also
gone to Chicago presumably, his
friends say. to confer with other rail-
way officials over the serious aspect OF
the situation.
1t is believed that there are about
1900 to 1000 employees of the E.. J. &.
z. railroad with headquarters in Gary,
and If general strike should occur
among the affiliated unions ii would
mean serious thing for the city The
danger of the strike spreading
throughout the country is said to be
more grave today than 1t has at any

When Mr.. Gustafson returned he

were that he was SO or 81 years of age

After his departure a letter was re

FRIENDS Of LOKASH
WORRY ABOUT HIM
Gary Man May Have Met
With Foul Play This
Week.

Has Frank Lokash deserted his girl
wife and adopted baby daughter. or has
he met with foul play?
This is the mystery that surrounds
the strange disappearance Of Frank
Lokash, a barber employed by Chas.
Centiana. corner sixteenth avenue and
Broadway, Gary.
Lokash is q good looking young Ital-
ian. who married a pretty American
girl in Chicago about two years ago.
Shortly after being married Lokash and
his pretty wife moved to Gary. and
he has been employed here ever since.
About three months ago they adopted
a baby girl from a poor Chicago family
and since that time have been very
happy together
The last that was seen of Lokash was
on Thursday afternoon. He left the
barber shop and, entering his home
nearby took his overcoat. apparently
to make a trip downtown. Nothing
has been seen Of him sice that-time.
His young wife is nearly distracted.
and while she is of the opinoin that
her husband has left her. still she
thinks he may have met with foul play.
Today Mrs. Lokash, with her little
daughter. left for Chicago. where she
will make an effort to locate her hus-
band. Mrs. Lokash said yesterday that
while She and her husband quarreled
a times. as a general thing. they lived
happily together and she cannot under
stand his reason for deserting her. II
he cannot be found the baby girl will
have to be returned TO her former pa
rents, as Mrs. Lokash is preparing to
earn her own livelihood.

THIS LAD

Enterprising East Chicago
Lad, But Is Years Old,
Gets Busy and Night
School Is the Result of His
Praiseworthy Efforts.
Especial to TIE T1NEs.l

East Chicago Ind. Dec 4-Tf An
drew Rooney of Kennedy avenue who
works as errand boy in the First Calu-
met Trust & Savings bank, does not
get an education it will not be for lack
of enterprise and ambition on his part.
1t was through the efforts of this
lad. assisted by George Krision of Alex
ander avenue that the night school
was opened this season in the Wallace
building. in Oklahoma. and the school
gives .. promise of accomplishing more
than any previous night school con-
Quoted in East Chicago has done.
Young Rooney, who is 10 years OF
age, attended the night school last
year. He was so well pleased with the
progress he made that he eagerly
awaited the opening of the winter term
of school, this year. However, the
usual time for the school to open ar
rived and there was nothing doing
He inquired of T. E. Williams, the prin-
cipal of the Mckinley school, who had
managed the night school last year,
asking when the school would be open
ed He was informed that there had
been no interest manifested in the
night school movement among those
who were to be benefited, and the time
of opening would be postponed until
such time as the necessary interest was
manifested.
Two or three times Rooney visited
Mr.. Williams, with the same inquiry,
and he was given the same answer. At
last the boy decided that heroic meas
ures must be taken to stir up interest
and he. with the assistance of Miss
Mabel Suntag. the stenographer in the
bank. drafted a petition and circulated
1t among the men and boys of his as
quainfance, who he fancied might want
to attend. In this he was helped by
smother ambitious boy, George Krision
The petition was sentin to the board
of education. who acted upon it al
once. with the result that after tive
weeks. with nucleus of ten pupils tc
start on. there are now fifty mem
bers in the classes.
The latter are divided into three
grades, according to the advancement
of the pupils. and include both mer
and boys of many nationalities.

TRAIN PLAYS HAVOC
WITH THE HOUSE
Gary Man Has Bone to Pick
With the Michigan
Central.

A one-story frame house which was
being moved down Broadway in Gary
became stalled yesterday afternoon di-
rectly on the Michigan Central tracks
and the movers stood helplessly by
while a big freight engine, eastbound,
ripped the whole building to pieces.
The compact with the house scarcely
feazed the engine. its only damage be-
ing a broken headlight and a slightly
damaged pilot.
The accident happened about 5:45
last night and but for the quick action
of the flagman at the crossing in get
ting the people out of the way. one of
the hundreds of workmen who were
coming home at this time might have
been seriously injured by the flying
timbers. AS it was, however, not a
person was hurt.
The house was little more than a
shack. but nevertheless it afforded con-
siderable amusement to the "uninter-
ested spectator to see a train run
through a house The splinters were
cast to the four winds and the for
eigners in the vicinity were busy for
some time picking UP kindling wood
about the place.
The railroads version Of the affair
is that the movers should have notified
the railroad before crossing the track
so that they could have warned both
the east and westbound trains by tele-
graph TO look out for the obstruction
on Broadway. 1t is not known why no
effort was made to flag the trains when
the building was crossing the track.
The only person to put in a claim for
the destroyed building is Thomas F.
Thornton. but Mr.. Thornton only claims
to be the agent for the building and
did not know the name of the owner
It is not known just how the accident
happened, but it is thought that one
of the chains of the pulleys broke that
r1sulted in leaving the building strand
ed on the tracks. The amount OF
Thornton's claim was 800.

it is understood that these cases will

The only old law that the contrac-
tor could fall back on is one that per-
mits the assessment of property within
one mile on either side of a proposed
road.
An interesting thing about the re-
cent decision is the fact that for three
or four days after THE TINES newspa-
pers printed the news of the supreme
courts decision there was nothing in
the Indianapolis Star and very little
in the indianapolis News about It.
This is explained by the fact that
in Indianapolis there are bonding

OF public Improvement bonds and these
houses prevailed upon the indianapolis
newspapers to keep the report out of
the papers until they could find their
bearings in the matter. THE TINES

BEST MONTH
FOR REALTY
Firm of Harry King & Co.
of Gary Causes $4,000
Worth of Real Estate to
Change Hands; Johnson's
Exodus Causes Raise.

In the past month one real estate
dealer in Gary reports having sold
$4,000 worth of property in Gary and
vicinity, which is almost record
breaker for one firm for several
months past. The sales were made by
Harry King & Co, in most of the cases
he acting as agent for the owners.
although some of the lots were his
own. Mr.. King states that it has been
one of the most prosperous months
since he has been in the real estate
business.
The biggest individual deal turned
by the King company was the sale OF
eighty acres of valuable property west
of Gary in section fourteen. The pur-
chasers were the Gary Abstract &
Guarantee company. a firm composed
of Chicago and South Bend real estate
men. This propery is one Of the most
valuable single tracts of land remain
ing between Indiana Harbor and Gary.
The owner IS John H. Hewitt OF Chi
cago. who has held the property for
thirty four years, a remarkable period
considering the frequent transfers that
are continually made in real estate
In this locality. The consideration for
the deal was $4,000. An interesting
incident connected with the deal is
that before Gary was founded the
owner of the property attempted
without avail. to dispose of the prop
erty for $2.500.

Left Handed vituperatives.


Most counties in England have their
idiomatic expressions to denote left
handedness. and they are often pre-
fixed to the unfortunate left handed
child's name. In London the term is
kack handed, the word being also
equivalent to awkward. In Lanca-
shire it is k-pawed. in Yorkshire gal
lock or gawk handed, an expressio-
dating back to at least the seventeenth
century. In Derbyshire are used the
terms keg handed, cork handed and
corky handed. while in the Teesdale
district cuddy handed is common and
In Nottinghamshire wallet handed.
In the south of England special
terms to denote left handedness are
also found. In Dorset it is scrame
handed and in Devonshire coochy
handed. In Scotland we find gawk
handed and in the west cawry handed.
In Ireland left handed man is called
9 ktthogue. Tim Healy used this word
In speech at East Wicklow, in which
he said that Mr.. O'Kelly could fight
with his left hand and had already
given his opponent some "kithogues'
that would spoil his political beauty
during the contest-London Chronicle.
