Especial to TIE T1MEs.l

Whiting. Ind. Nov. 2s-There will
be an adjourned meeting OF the Whit
ing city council tonight to take up
the question of passing the Castleman
franchise over the veto of Mayor Fred
j. Smith.
It is not known what will be done
by the people of Whiting to circum-
vent the probable action of the coun-
Gil in passing a measure that is con-
sidered nothing short of vicious by the
majority of the business men of the
city.
The Municipal association secured an
opinion from Judge John H. Gillett on
the matter and Judge Gillett riddled
the franchise from start to finish.
Then followed Mayor Fred Smiths $
veto and that finished the riddling pro-
cess. Notwithstanding the fact that
the franchise has been shot to pieces
BY the attorneys and business men who
have loowed it over, it is said to have
a good chance of being passed over the
mayors veto.

superior organization and his great
personal popularity and ability was re-
sponsible for the election OF Elliot
Conroy. the candidate of the water
party. TO the office OF Boyville's first
mayor. Conroy received 237 votes to
Ebert's So.
In all there were $50 votes cast and
this indicates the great interest that
has been taken in the campaign. Lloyd
Ebert takes his defeat philosophicaIly
and will do all he can TO further the
Boyville movement in Hammond and
make 1t a success.
Water Party Wins.
The result was a victory for ths
water party from start to finish. with
one exception. Frank Lipinski. the
second member of the board OF public
works, was the only man on the water
ticket who met with defeat
In fact, the boys all voted with sur
prisihg intelligence In fact, they
demonstrated that their balloting was
done much more intelIigently than is
case in great many sections in the
city in regular elections.
Many Tickets Split.
Out Of the $50 ballots that were cast
there were only 16T straight tickets for
the land party and. sixty-five for the
water party. This means that alto
gether there were only 172 straight
tickets voted. Out of all of the split
tickets there We're only ten spoiled

LAKE COUNTY WAS FACTOR
At INDIANAPOLIS MEETING

Lake county proved to be factor at
the meeting of the contractors of In
diana at the Dennison hotel in Indian
apolis yesterday. when Henry S. Dav-
idson of Whiting was made treasurer
and Thomas F. Knots Of Gary chair
man Of the finance committee Of the
newly organized Indiana Public I'm

According to Henry S. Davidson Of
Whiting the consensus of opinion
seemed to be that it would be best to
attempt first to secure a modification of
the decision of the supreme court and
then start several test cases in that
court. 1t is understood that one of the
Lake county roads is to be made a test

PITIFUL
CASE SEEN
Miss Mabel Sterling Broods
Over Parental Neglect
and Heart Is Broken.
Especial to TIE TINES

East Chicago, Nov. 29-The sui
eide of Miss Mabel Sterling in Chi
cago yesterday, is East Chicago's SEN
sation this morning. The young
girl was not yet eighteen years Of
age, was well-iked and highly re-
spected, and her connection with the
well-known poineer family of Sterl-
ings, gives added interest to the
tragedy.
CAUSED BROKEN HEART.
The cause of her suicide is believed
by her relatives to have been a broken
heart over the fact that she had no
home. this having been broken up eight
years ago by the death of her mother.
Since that time her father. John Sterl-
ing, has drank heavily, has failed to
support his children, two of them.
boys named John and Robert, being in
mates of state institution at wabash,
while Mabel when she was not working
made her home with her uncle, Rob-
ert Sterling, Of North Olcott avenue.
LIVED WITH UNCLE.
She had been stopping at her uncle's
for some few weeks preceding her sui
eide. and semed constantly worried
over the fact that her father neglected
her and failed to provide a home for
her.
Saturday night she went out for the
evening She failed to return and in
the morning when the family awakened
they found that her bed had been un-
occupied. Mr.. Sterling, feeling that
something was seriously amiss, as the
young girl was not accustomed to stay
ing away at night. went to the police
station to learn whether any accidents
had ben reported. While there long
distance call came in from Chicago
which proved to emanate from police
headquarters.
CALL FROM CHICAGO.
The call was an inquiry regarding a
young girl who had committed suicide
in Van Buren, street hotel. who had
registered as Miss Long of East Chi
cago. A description OF the young girl
was given and this tailed so closely
with that of Miss Sterling that hel
ncIe decided to go into Chicago tc
Investigate.
He found upon arriving that his
his fears were indeed realized. The
body was that of Mabel.

hour for the work he does.
Smith did not labor from the 21st
to the 2sth of September of this year.
1t is charged in the complaint that
Smith was given credit for $24 that he
did not earn, with the understanding
that he was to divide it with Pitzele
1t is further charged that when
Smith was paid Off he was given $3.50
when he had only $1440 coming to him

CREMATORY
QUESTION IS
CONSIDERED

Although the city administration can
not spend any money this year for a
city crematory. steps tending toward
the erection of garbage consumer are
now under way. In making the appro-
priations for the year 1910 $4,000 were
set aside for the erection of plant.
In euipping and maintaining a com
plete plant, $4,000 will not go very far,
however. but the one that is to be
erected next year is expected to answer
the city's need for the presnt.
No definite site has, as yet, been
decided upon. but some months ago,
when a probable site was discussed. it
was thought advisable to locate the
plant along the Calumet river.

Tomorrow Night.
STEWART WILL Be DIRECTOR
Many Ladies Signify Their Inten-
ton of Joining New Or
ganization.

The physical culture girl is about to
make her debut in Hammond.
A meeting of young ladies who would
find a night class more convenient than
a day class is to be held tomorrow
evening in the State Street Masonic
Temple hall, to organize an athletic
class under the direction of Charles
Stewart, the present athletic director
of the Hammond Athletic club. The
meeting is called for 7:30 o'clock, and
it is important that all who are de-
sirous Of joining be present in order
that there be no delay in organizing.
A representative number of ladies, in
Guiding married ladies. as we'll as girls.
have already signified their intention
to Mr.. Stewart that they are anxious
to be members of a physical culture
class and the prospects for such an or
ganization are bright.
Would BE "A Boon to Hundreds.
In a city the size of Hammond there
are hundreds of office girls. school
teachers and others who would hail
an evening physical culture class with
delight They realize the need of
healthy and intelligent exercise. but
lack either the facilities or the enthu-
siasf when compelled to exercises in
their own homes. For them a night
class would be a boon. The organiza-
tion is to be primarily q physical cult
ure class. under the sole direction of
Mr.. Stewart. thus taking any burden
OF maintaining the organization from
the shoulders of the ladies. Whether
social club club is to be maintained
in connection remains to be seen.
STr. stewart Master of Athletics.
Himself a master of athletics. Mr..
Stewart. who has had many years ex-
perience with Y. II. c. A. athletic work
will be in a position TO give the young
ladies exercise in calisthenics. athletic
games and athletic dancing.
Should the number of those who want
to join the class to be organized to-
morrow evening be too large. it would
be necessary to limit the number, and
it, therefore. behooves every youny
lady who has her health and physical
development at heart to be at the

Claims for Betting.
The following is the manufacturer s
description of the betting that it is
proposed to manufacture in this city:
we claim for 1.-THE best belt made
in the world. The proof of our claims
are based on the wonderful merits Of
Ruber-Ite Compound, which Is made
from mineral rubber, a product of Utah
and Colorado. Rubber-Ite Betting is
made in distinct plies of heavy duck,
woven specially for this company. The
duck is folded to the required number
of plies and sewed together with the
strongest cable twist twine The belt
is then immersed in hot solution of
Rubber-Ite Compound, impregnating
most thoroughly every fiber. The chem
ical properties of this infusion renders
the belt absolutely impervious to steam
acids. alkalies, gases. dampness, oil
heat or cold and, Furthermore the
fabric is preserved from rot or decay
for all time. Rubber-Ite Betting will
prove more satisfactory than rubber
or leather. 1t will also transmit 20 per
cent more power than any other known
belt. For conveyors and elevators ii
has no eual. Rubber-Ite Betting is in
dorsed by the largest users of betting
throughout the world, such as cement
works. brick plants, starch works. dye
houses, foundries, packing plants, saw
mill. mines, smelters, etc"
