TIMES representative yesterday after
noon, ito secure a donation towards
public library from Andrew Carnegie,
Notwithstanding the fact that the city
council last year refused to consider
the proposition" Should the effort to
install a library in East Chicago prove
fruitful, it will be the best forward
movement made in the city during the
past decade. At present there is abso-
lutely no place where young people can
spend their afternoons or evenings ex-
cept upon the streets or in the pool
rooms and saloons.
East Chicago. according to the cen
sus of the Lake county directory COM
pany, has a population of almost 200
persons, a great majority of whom are
able. and willing, to put a portion of
their time into the study of instruc-

themselves educationally must be con-
fined to the perusal of. daily news pa

TO LET CONTRACT TODAY

The contract will be let in Baltimore
today for the s250,O0O union station
which is to be built in Gary by the
Lake Shore and Baltimore and Ohio
railroads. The letting of the contract
IS in the hands of Architect NJ. A. Long
of Chicago who has drawn the plans
for the new station.
It is understood that three Gary con-
tractors will bid for the contract and it
is possible that with the facilities there
are in Gary for erecting such build
ing that the Gary men will be among
the low bidders.
There are thirty bidders in all who
will make estimates on the new sta
tion. The letting of the contract means
that the new depot will be constructed
as soon as the season opens up in the
Spring and that it will probably be
ready for use in another year.
This new union station will be one
of the finest in the whole state.

TWO WOMEN SHAME MEN

shameful scene was witnessed by a
number of Gary people about 1870 last
night when two well-known women
living in the east part of the town were
seen staggering down Broadway, max
ing their way from their homes. Not
only were the two women so intoxi-
Gated that they could hardly walk. but
had to be assisted to their homes by
two local police officers. who found
them on the street. The language of
the two women used would put shame
to man instead of a woman. They
swore at persons passing by and it
was only out of respect to one of the
women's husband that a warrant was
not sworn out and they kept in the po-
lice station all night. They had been
seen drinking in one of the saloons
in the Patch" with two other we'll
known Gary men all during the even
ing, who deserted them when it was
time for them to go home.

Council Does Not Like Carnegie Ofer.
When the matter was presented TO
the council some time ago the atti-
tude of the aldermanic body was that
a gift from Mr. Carnegie would be
charity and uniting the dignity of
the city to accept. They suggested
that a library might easily be paid for
should everyone in rhe city contribute
one dollar annually. This suggestion,
on every possible point of view, is
not feasible as the collection of the
annual contribution, if made by any
other means than through the city
taxes, would meet with the sincere dis
APPROVAL of the citizens. The Carnegie
offer to cities is more liberal and con-
sists merely of a slight tax, of about
one-tenth of one per cent a year on the
assessed valuation of the city's taxable
property. this fund to be used for the
maintenance of the building, purchase
of books and salaries of the librarian
and assistants. The building is donat-
ed by the Carnegie commission.

ACCORDING TO ORDINANCE?

c. Oliver Holmes, the town clerk, yes
terday brought an important matter to
the attention of the police. Mr.. Holmes
learned that several buildings were un-
der construction, which are not being
erected in compliance with the build
ing ordinance of Gary. He called at
tention to one in particular which is
being built on Jefferson street and
Fifth avenue, according to specifications
furnished by the owner to Smith Bros.
The particular objection against this
building is that it is being erected with

load of steel which was brought from
the South Chicago plant for use in test

soaking pit and later sent through the
great rollers where it was converted
into the first rails ever produced in
Gary.
This was simply a tryout and the
actual starting up of the mills will not

the next morning he was informed that
they had been unable to sleep on ac-

and still the mystery remained unsolved
Grarochic decided to move out of the
house. This was done last Sunday.
The news spread around town like
wildfre that the house was haunted.
Men began to talk of persons seeing
mysterious fires in the woods in the
rear of the old house. Old settlers
in Tolleston also began to tell of some
strange happenings that are said to

mediate points the compensation shall

if the road and reached the agreement
it is seeking with the Illinois Central
road, that its passengers may be
brought into the heart of the city over
the Illinois Central tracks. Mr.. Cur
ley's request might be considered. but
that as it was the franchise should be
limited to twenty years.
John G. brennan, attorney for the

C ommittee the necessity of permitting
the Kensington & Eastern to build four
main tracks and four side tracks over
the streets to be crossed The commit
tee was unable. however, to see the
necessity for more than two sidetracks

Aldermen Moynihan, Jones and Bieh
stood pat with the railroad representa-
tives on this proposition. They said
that if compensation were demanded
the people of Hegewisch, West Pullman

would get the lower fares they are af
ter.
The committee finally agreed, how
ever, to make the compensation provis

fares are reduced. Compensation on th'
switch track basis means payment L
