SHOWS MARKS At 80 INCHES
Woman Says Husband Burned Wall
at Distance of Five Feet,
Aiming at Her.

How far away does a revolver have
to be away to make a powder mark
is the question that was decided by
experimental target practice at the
Gary police station this morning
In the case of Eli Astiach. who was
arrested and charged with shooting a
revolver at his wife the question arose
yesterday morning at the trial. Would
a revolver discharged five or more feet
away from well cause a powder mark
three inches away? Attorney Clarence
Bretsch. who is appearing for Astiach,
declared that it would not so the case
was continued until this morning Ac-
cording to the testimony of Mrs As
tiach and her son, the husband had
threatened frequently to kill them both.
She claims that on Saturday night,
about II o'clock, he took his revolver
and shot at her from the middle OF
the room. the bullet entering the wall
directly across the bed. In order to
make themselves thoroughly acquaint-
ed with the situation. Judge Fitger-
aid and Attorney Bretsch visited the
Astiach home, a Twenty first avenue
and Washington street, yesterday aft
ernoon and found that the distance
from the place where Mrs. Astiach
c4dlAns Her nnsband Shot at her to the
wall is about seven feet. The powder
mark around the bullet hole is nearly
three inches in diameter. The defense
claims that Mrs. Astiach fired the shot
herself from where she lay in the bed

low.
At the experimental shooting this
morning shots We're fired through a
board at distances varying from one to
seven feet, and the greatest distance
at which powder marks could be traced
was about thirty-two inches

ARRIVAL Of
THEFOURTH
Town Board Passes an Ordi-
nance Regulating the Sale
and Shooting of Fire
works; Wants a Safe and
Sane Day.

No booming of cannon crackers or
the discharge of firearms will greet
the celebration o fthe great Fourth in
Gary Moderation in the use of noise
making devices will be demanded by
the chief Of police of Gary and the
town board, which yesterday passed an
ordinance providing for the sale and
use of the explosives.
Chief Martin regards the big cannon
crackers as too much dynamite and re-
CARDS it as menace TO life and prop
erty. This form of works will be
prohibited as much as possible. and
anyone caught firing them or discharg-
ing weapons with blank cartridges will
be guilty of disorderly conduct and is
liable to arrest on this charge.
Copy Chicago Ordinance.
The ordinance passed yesterday by
the town board was drawn up after
that passed last December by the City
of Chicago. This new law restricts the
sale of heavy explosives, prohibits the
sale of fireworks until the Fourth.
provides for the safe keeping of the
fireworks so as to prevent danger to
adjacent property while they are on
safe, and provides a penalty for the
violation OF the ordinance.
Today all officers will be given their
full instructions as to the handling of
the Fourth of July enthusiasts from
this time forward. Several young men
about the city and a number of boys
have purchased revolvers for the firing
of blank cartridges and have already
used them frequently about the city,
cut this will be stopped from now on,
and the violators of the ordinance are
liable to arrest
Gary Will have the biggest holiday
that it has ever enjoyed. but the Gary
police and the town board mean to have
safe and sane celebration if an en-
largement of the Jail is necessary for
the violators of the ordinance.

VIOLINIST INVESTS
IN GARY REALTY
Miss Emma Sykes Buys the
Walter S. Ross Proper
ty on Broadway.
READS OF GARY IN MAGAZINE
Other Real Estate Companies Pull
OFF Several Large Deals
Recently.

Several good deals In real estate have
been put through in Gary in the past
week, lending encouragement to sew
eral of the dealers. 1t is safe to say,
in fact, that there has been more prop
erty transferred in the past week in
Gary than there has in any previous
week for the past two months. This
looks like returning prosperity.
Among the sales which have been
made are the building owned by Walter
S Ross, at the corner Of Seventeenth
avenue and Broadway, which was sold
for $4,000. This building was formerly
used as a real estate office by Mr.. Ross.
The building is a two-story frame and
is 26 by 125 feet in size
The purchaser was no other than the
famous Miss Emma Sykes. the great
violinist. who has appeared in the prin-
cipal American cities and who is now
filing an engagement in Chicago. While
in New York recently, playing there,
she read a magazine article on Gary
and became so interested that she de-
termined to make an investment in
this city. She took advantage of her
being in Chicago to make her invest
ment. The purchase of the Ross build
ing is the first of a series that she in
tends to make in this city. After see
ing Gary Miss Sykes was even more
impressed with the wonders of the
steel city.
Among other sales made by real
estate men were two lots on Washing
ton street by Walter S. Ross. and a lot
on Broadway, between Eighteenth and
Nineteenth streets by the Lake County
Realty company through Manager Ar
den Dearbyne. This lot was purchased
by S Bilkovic. the sausage maker who
will erect building on the property
at once. His present business will be
transferred to the new store.

NO DERRICK NEEDED
TO RAISE HIS BOOM
Said to Have Raised Himself By His
Own Strong Arms and Impressive
Personality-Now Holds Commit
teemanship in the Knots Organi-
zation.

A new constellation is casting its
rays over the political horizon in Gary,
much to the concern of the towns
democracy. The new luminary in the
heavens is the boom of william A. Cain
for first mayor of Gary.
That Mr.. Gains ambition to be may
or is an assured fact. and that his
boom evolved itself from the Knots
mass of nebular boomlets. was stated
yesterday by a democratic leader
Until Mr.. Crolius took the field for
the mayoralty, town President Thomas
E. Knots was the sole choice of the
steel city democracy. With the advent
of the former chief executive Of Joliet
into local politics dissenters from the
Knots faith. headed by Attorney Hugh
E. Corbett. hocked to the standard of
the leader from Illinois state.
But among those who remained loyal
to the old chief was Mr. Gain, who re-
ceived a committeemanship on the
Knots organization and the offer of a
higher place in the palace of the Crol-
ius adherents. He spurned the last
named offer and accepted the elect:1
position.
Makes Fight Interesting.
Now. according to Nj Gains many
friends. he is an active candidate for
the democratic mayoraIty nomination
and Will make fight for It. His boom.
they say, is being raised by no par
ticuiar derrick, but by the might of
his own strong arms and his impress
sive personality.
Mr.. Cain has many friends in this
region and there is no doubt but that
his appearance as a political debutante
would make him a much courted figure.
AS one of the biggest and wealthiest
contractors in the county. he has made
quite reputation for himself as a
business man and capitallst. TT is a
business city administration that Gary
Will need" said one of his friends yes
terday, and Cain is the man for those
OF both parties who believe in this form
of municipal government"
With the addition of Cain in the
ranks of aspirants for the Gary may
orally, the democrats will have as
many candidates as their republican
brethren On the democratic side there
is, besides Mr.. Cain, President Knots
and William C. Crolius, each having an
organization of his own OF the re-
publican aspirants there are John
Brennan, J. G. Harris, A D. Schaeffer.
and John McFadden as a dark horse.
