the effect that East Chicago is to have
an imposing business structure added
to it's downtown section. The report.

has it that Peter W. Meyn of this city
is preparing to build on his property at
Forsyth and Chicago avenues. 1t is

sidering plans and the decision to build
may be forthcoming at any time. 1t is

be about $50 by 100. two stories in
height and constructed of brick. It's
cost is estimated in the neighborhood
of $4,000 or $4,000
The site is that of the Todd opera
House block, which was destroyed by
fire. Since the disastrous blaze the
property has been an eyesore spot in
the neighboring city's business section.
The property is considered most valu-
able because Of its central location.
and it is said that Mr.. Meyn has had
numerous opportunities to dispose of it.

OIL TANK
CAR FIRED
At WHITING
Especial to THE T1Mza)

Whiting, Ind, June S.-A burning oil
tank car. containing 800 barrels OF
crude oil. presented a weird spectacle
at midnight last night, when it was
shunted out of the yard into an open
space so as not to set the other cars
on fire
The car stood on the Lake Shore
tracks and it is thought that it leaked
somewhat. A passing engine dropped
a hot coal. set the oil afire and de-
spite the downpour of rain. the car
blazed up, illumining the sky for miles
around The volunteer fire depa rtment
was summoned and in the meantime a
switch engine was hitched to the burn
ing car. which was wrapped in flames,
and pushed aside. Owing to the hard
work of the plucky fremen half of
the contents were saved, the fremen
having poured water into the tank un-
til the last flame was drowned out.

OLD BUILDINGS
G.. Ell. Hammond Structures
Are an Eyesore to the
Community.

Fire Chief Peter Dilschneider of the
Hammond department and Building In
spector John F. Kuhlman have been
considering the matter of condemning
some of the buildings in the old G. H.
Hammond company's plant north Of this
city.
They are so defective and rotten that
should a fire break out in the old plant
it might endanger the lives of the fire.
men and any workingmen who hap
pened to be in the vicinity
The buildings are an eye-sore to the
community any way, and it might en-
courage the company in tearing down
all of them Immediately. 1t is be-
lieved that they will be wrecked soon
er or later, but the people who live in
the vicinity of the plant would like to
see the work done at once.

NJ 'ALEER BRINGS
SUIT IN WEIGH CASE
Case Is Filed in Superior
Court Whereby Viola
Welch Asks Damages.

Attorney w. J. McAleer, represent
ing Viola Welch, the wife of the de-
ceased Joseph Welch, who was shot by
Louis Miller while they were on
hunting trip together on the Calumet
river, near East Chicago. has brought
suit to recover $4,000 damages for
MilIer's alleged carelessness.
1t is said that Miller has between
$4,000 and $1,000 worth of property.
and the judgment might be in any
sum up to that amount should the
court or the jury decide to award the
plaintif damages.
The complaint recites that on the
Sth day of March. 1909, Louis Miller
was sitting in the front end of a
boat facing some deeoys when, through
the careIessness and negligence of L.
Miller, he was shot in the head and
killed.
The complaint alleges that Miller had
ample opportunity to see Welch in
front Of him. that the accident hap
pened in broad daylight and that Mil
ler's eye-sight was good
Leaves Wife and Baby.
1t states that as a result Of the ac-
cident Viola Welch and her child are
left without means of support. and
have, in fact. been deprived of the
support which was provided by the de-
ceased husband and father Conse-
quently. the attorney for the plaintfn
asks that Mrs. Viola We1ch be award
ed damages in the sum of $4,000.
The case probably would never have
been filed had it not been for the fact
that Miller told conflicting stories OF
the accident There was never any
question that the killing was done by
accident, but the alleged attemp of
Miller to misrepresent the facts led to
the institution of suit for damages

WILD DIVE
On Ii. BELT

An engine on the Indiana Harbor
Belt railroad plunged through a bridge
into the Calumet river at Blue Island
at $3.50 a. m. today. and as a result
two men received severe injuries. That
they escaped death was due only to
the fact that they jumptd out of the win
dows of the locomotive as it made its
downward leap. Sensational rescues
followed.
Those Who Were Injured.
The injured men were Fred Treinen
81 years old, fireman, and Andrew
Brown, % years old engineer. The ac-
cident was caused by part of the bridge
collapsing
There was no explosion, but pipes
connected with the boiler burst and

scalded by the escaping steam. They
were pulled out of the river with ropes
by railroad workmen and taken to St
Francis hospital in Blue Island

pERsIsTENT WARFARE.

As usual, the anti-saloon league ac-
tivity was the result of the work of
Attorneys Bruce and Matthews, who
have been waging a persistent, but in
effectual, fight. in the county ever since

men claim that the action against the

more drastic than that which was rec

HAD FOREBoDINGs.

There We're forebodings that some-
thing would happen when Messrs. Rus
sell and Lassen made application for a
license. Consequently these men were
represented before the county commits
sioners by Attorneys Barr and Wheeler
of Crown Point. The remonstrance
against these men was made by Town
ship Trustee NJ. ]. Schillo of Hanover
township, abetted by several of the citi-
zens of the locality.
RusseTs application was refused on
the ground that his present location
IS too near a schoolhouse. Lassen's ap-
plication was refused on the ground
that 1t is not on highway. 1t is said
that other objections entered into the
case. such as the manner in which the
applicants conducted their places of
business

B.BAILEY
REFUSED ONE
Famous Lassen's Pavilion
Will Have to go Dry as a
Result of Official Action.

The Anti-saloon League has invad-
ed Lake County.
The attack is not to be in the nature
of a local option election but an at
tack on the law-breaking saloon. The
first brush between the Anti-saloon
League and the saloons occurred at
Crown Point where Harry Lassen and
Bob Russell were refused licenses. It
was a terrible blow to the resort
Keepers at the lake and it came not
without warning.

TWO IN NORTH TOWNSHIP.

sam Cohen's Whiting saloon was re-
fused a license on the ground that the
notice was not properly published. It
was to have been published in the
Whiting Call, but was left out mad
ventently. The notorious Brick Bailey
in East Chicago was refused a license.
Probably the most interesting fea-
ture of the action of the anti-saloon
league yesterday is the fact that this
is just the beginning of the campaign
against the individual saloons in the
county. 1t is understood that remon-
strances will be filed against many
other saloons in the county as soon as
their proprietors make application for
licenses. This is said to include sew
eral saloons which have been given con-
siderable notoriety of late through the
arrest of girls in winerooms.
