THIRD ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE
Henry Lsviene Takes Fatal Dose Of
Carboic Acid

Burlington. May 3-Discouraged BY
the loss of position in a Burlington
sash and blind mandatory, Henry
LaYigne aged 80 years, committed SUI
icide yesterday by drinking carbolic
acid. He drank the poison in room
at his home on Main street and death
had occurred before a physician reach
ed him. Lavigne is survived by a
wife and four children.
That the man had a suicidal ten,
dency is indicated by the fact that
this was his third attempt to end his
life. On the last occasion, about two
weeks ago, he was foiled by his wife
who hurled flatiron at him and
knocked a bottle of acid from his
hand as he was about to drink it. He
was more careful in his preparations
today and locked himself in his room
when the family thought he was in the
street.

RUSH WORK
On GARY &
|NTERURBAN
Gang of Eighty Men Is Pre-
pairing Roadbed From Co.
lumbia Avenue West
Steel Laying Begins on
Tuesday. d

A gang of eighty men is digging its
way west from Columbia avenue for
the Gary & Interurban road bed, and by
tonight the excavation work will have
reached Oakley avenue. Steel laying on
this stretch should begin next Tues
day, according to the estimates of the
foremen. Mayor Darrow is hurrying on
the work for his friend, Mr.. BeckeE.m
sake.
Seven carloads of ties. belonging to
the interurban company, are stored
somewhere In one of the Hammond
switch yards, and thus far they have
not been located. Steel. too, has been
ordered, and it is expected to be on
hand when needed.
According to the statements of the
foreman of the gang today. they ex-
pect to finish their work as they go
along. The concrete mixer will ar
rive in Hammond next Monday for the
preparation OF the concrete in which
the ties are to be laid.
The best possible time that can be
made now toward the completion of the
road is Jan. I. and according to the
franchise. this will be several months
late. AS the line will be ultimately
double tracked, the first track is being
laid on the north side OF the street.
The biggest piece of work. however,
still remains to be done This is
stretch of approximately seven miles
between Columbia avenue and two
miles west of Tolleston The Hammond
board of public works was to decide
today whether the track on Summer
street should be laid in the middle
of the street. or along the side of the
pavement. In Tolleston the work can
progress no faster than the improves
ment of Bormann boulevard. and as
that work is being held up now. owing
to lack of material the building OF
the interurban also be delayed A gang
of men, however, is working toward

ground for the roadbed.

MAKE WAR
On MONON
RAILROAD
Diplomatic Relations Be
tween Local Business Men
and Obstinate Line Sew
cred at Last Nights Meet
ing.

In resolution that was passed by
the members of the Hammond Busi-
ness Mems association last evening the
Monon railroad was condemned for it's
lack of civic pride in Hammond. and
while the word boycott" is not used.
the business men of Hammond are COW
ertly advised to send their freight any
way but on the Aonon route. and
those who have been patrons of the
road as passengers are advised to ride
on the railroads that have taken enough
interest in Hammond to build suitable
depots.
To Fight to Finish.
If this fails It will be a case of a
battle to finish. The city officials will
be urged to compel the railroad to live
up strictly to every city ordinance.
No train will be allowed to go through
the city at greater rate of speed
than six miles an hour and every
other provision that can be worked to
the detriment Of the operation of the
road will be enforced.
The people of Hammond propose to
make the officials of the Monon road
feel the heat of their wrath. and
they will do it in such a manner as to
make every official and stockholder of
the road appreciate the fact that the
Monon has a tight on in Hammond
As far as favors are concerned the
Monon Will not get a single one from
the people of Hammond until 1t shows
the right spirit. One of the retaliatory
measures that is likely to make the
management of the road sit up and take
notice is the effort on the part of the
Hammond Business Mems association to
secure interurban connections with the
Panhandle railroad south of the city.
so that Hammond people can have an
other route to Indianapolis.
Has other Tricks
The Hammond Business Mems asso-
citation has few other tricks up its
sleeve that will show the management
of the Monon railroad that it stirred IN
a bunch Of hornets when it turned down
the demands of this city for adequate
depot facilities.
In the meantime, If a Monon traffic
agent comes to Hammond looking for
business the business men of the city
and the manufacturers are advised to
give him the cold shoulder and throw
out gentle hint that the town has
got to have a new depot before the
road will get much business from this
locality.
