EAST CHICAGO LIVE
STOCK MARKET MOVES
Tod and Chicago Avenues
no Longer a Stamping
Ground.
(Snecial to TIE TIMEs.)

East Chicago, Ind. June %. - The
time-honored East Chicago live stock
market. which ever since last summer
has been threatened with removal, has
at last been ousted, and the familiar
corners at Tod and Chicago avenues
will know it no more.
Cards notifying patrons and the pub
lie generally Of the change, which is TO
be ham a mile eastward, have been
posted on the old market place and
in conspicuous corners and other points
of vantage throughout the country
from which the markets patronage is
derived, and the second Thursday in
July will witness the motely assortment
Of COWS, goats. spawned horses and
decrepit mules assembled at Melville
and Chicago avenues instead of on the
old stamping ground
East Chicago Co. Wants Change.
The change was ordered by the city
at the request of the East Chicago
company which wishes to improve the
original location with cement walks.
So long as the live stock was gathered
there once month, this would be use
less. as the walks would not long
stand up under the pressure of horses
and cattle wandering over them, as
ket continued at the old stand.
Business men in the vicinity of Tod
and Chicago avenues are generally re-
GREETING the change. although they
| have long realized that the encroach-
ment of building would soon make the
removal necessary. William Fuzzy took
the first definite step toward the GUST
ling of the market, when about three
months ago he visited the city hall and
made a demond on the police that the
/ critters" be made to move on. Chief
| of Police Higgins and Mayor De Briae
were absent on that occasion. and
nothing was done, but the request OF
the East Chicago company brought tht
matter to a head. Fuzy's reason fol
wishing the removal of the market was
he said. his desire to erect a building
on a lot he owned in the center of th'
market place. Building operation!
have since been started, Mr.. Fuzzy put
ting up a one-story brick building
| which he will open as an insurance
and real estate office.

East Chicago June 2S.-East Chi
cago's summer school, an institution
tried last year as an experiment and
the first public summer school to be
held in Lake county, is to be opened
again, the six weeks term beginning
on Monday of next week
The success of last years summer
school has encouraged Supt. e. n. Ca
nine and the school board to expand
somewhat, and instead of one man be-
ing put in charge for the term, a force
of five teachers has been retained to
oversee the work of the students. The
summer school is for the benefit of
of pupils who have failed in their ex
aminations during the regular school
year. and who wish to make up work
and for such as wish to finish their
studies earlier than the regular curri
culum would take them through. 1t
is also for the purpose Of employing
children at some interesting pastime.
who otherwise would be forced by idle
ness to spend the summer on the
streets
The force retained for the summer
course include Mr.. II. H Clark. who
will direct the studies of the high
school; Mr.. T. E. Williams, and Miss
Lucy Jones at the Mckinley, Mr. VIII
liams and Miss May Barnes at the Lin
| coin, Indiana Harbor, and Mr.. A. H
| Whitesitt will be in charge of the
manual training feature in the McKin-

STATER RAILROAD COMMISSION BUSY.
WITH SOUTH SHORE DISASTER

through not having proper precaution
in ascertaining the fitness of the train
crews before placing them in charge
of the cars, the commission will make
such a recommendation as will, in it's
opinion tend to make the road officials
more careful in the future, and thus,
If possible. avoid a recurrence of tho
horrible catastrophe
Two years ago a wreck occurred on
one of the steam roads operating in the
north part of the state, and in an exam
ination made by the commission, an en-
gineer broke down on the witness stand
under a fire of questions, and acknowl-
edged a most grevious fault. which had
caused the wreck costing A lives and
entailing a great suffering to those in
jured. It was one of the most reckless
pieces Of railroad work that has ever
been brought to my attention. The en-
gineer responsible, when he had it in
his power 70 prevent the disaster, and
when he confessed that he knew that
such disaster was impending, calmly
mounted his engine and rode away
without giving warning. The engineer
was subsequently indicted by grand
jury and in the face Of preponderous
evidence. and his own confession, he
was acquitted by jury.
The people of the state, it seems,
| are loath to send to the state prison, a
railroad man whose recklessness caus-
| es the loss of human life. and until they
overcome this foolish sympathy and

''Oflcially Of course. the commission
knows nothing of the details of tn
Chtesterton wreck. But it Is my opin
ion that had the employe responsible
followed the rules which this commits
sion has always laid down for tn
operation of interurban roads in tn
state, the wreck could not have oc
CURED.
Two years ago, this commission af
ter a long conference with interurba1
railroad men of the state caused to b
printed a book of rules to be foIlowe
by the trainmen. and they have beel
almost unanimously adopted by the in
terurban roads of the state A marke
betterment has been noticed by III
commission. Further to better condi
tions, the commission a few weeks ag
held conference with interurban of
fcials. and subsequ issued a cir
cular letter. outlining plans based upo
the conduct of the employe.
Conditions in the interurban traf7
in the state have reached the poin
when the public, as well as the com
mission, must insist upon better dis
cipline among the men, and more rigi
inquiry concerning the habits and thei
fitness for their work. The spirit 0
I this commission was evidenced in

recent investigation following two or
three wrecks on a certain road Ac-
cording to the finding and recommenda-
tfons of the commission in this case,
the general manager of the company
was discharged. That attitude Will be
maintained by this commission in re-
gard to all interurban wrecks of the
future and severe penalties will be re-
comm ended In cases of excessive Grim
inal negligence.
One of the members of the commits
sion has just completed a circular let
ter of rules to be observed by interur-
ban employees in crossing railroad
tracks. The commission will undoubt-
edIy ratify the opinion therein express
ed, and the circular win be sent to all
the interurban roads. 1t provides
against the danger of injury to passen-
gers aIighting from or boarding cars
when the interurban car is preparing
to cross another track.
"The commission is making an earn
est effort to raise the grade of men en-
tering the interurban service. Ultimate
" we hope to raise the grade until
motormen and conductors must meet
requirements equal to those required

TT must be borne in mind. however,
that the interurbans are furnishing
such convenience to the people of the
state that their patrons will object
seriously to any ruling that would in
terfere with the service now being
rendered by these lines. The people
1t seems, would rather take the many
chances of accidents than to do away
with the efficiency of the interurbar
/ service. They demand that the cars rur
at high speed and the management runs
/ them that way. Any recommendation
or orders which the commission may
make must be made with this in view
and instead of attempting to lessen tn,
| speed, it will be the work Of the com
mission to better the grade of men EN-
ployed. and TO lessen the danger o
wrecks by providing adequate safet,
devices. The roads are yet too younl
for the commission to require that the.
build and maintain double tracks, how
Eever much they would add to the safe
ty of the public"
Chairman Wood had planned to go t
Hammond Thursday to conduct an in
, quiry into the complaints of static
facilities at that place. but has can
celled the engagement, and will at ono
set about preparing for the Chesterto

WENT DELIBERATELY TO DEATH,
Circumstances OF Case All Point to
Suicide OF Elephant.

An Agra (Indial correspondent
sends a remarkable story concerning
what is declared to be the deliberate
suicide of an elephant.
The great annual mela or fair at
Batesar in the northwest provinces is
held on the bank of the Jumna, which
is there crossed by a bridge of boats
At the side of the river opposite the
fair there is slope down which the
elephants bringing visitors to the
bridge slide into the river and swim
across. young elephant, making the
trip for the first time, trumpeted an.
grily when his trappings were stripped
from him preparatory to his swim,
but seeing other elephants crossing
the stream ahead of him he plunged
In and followed.
When he reached the opposite
bank, however, he sweved around
and swan back again The mahout
sought to force him around again,
but without result. md when within a
yard or two of the bank the elephant,
after trumpeting again. plunged down
into the river. Just in the nick OF
time the mahout was rescued by
means of a long bamboo. but the ele-
phant was drowned, TO all appearance
by his own deliberate act.
