CUSTOMS.

A new game is being played by the
Hunt children which they named
Customs" and this is how 1t came
about:
They had been travelling in Europe
all summer with their mother and ia
ther, and among the numerous things
to interest them were the custom Of
flcers, who investigated their bag
gage for goods on which to charge
duty. When they came back to
America they were detained a long
time in the Custom House waiting for
an officer to examine their trunks. IT
was great fun for the children to fol-
low the officers about, and hear what
the people had to say, and how much
money they had to pay for the dress
goods and jewels and everything
they had brought from abroad. So
they Immediately invented this game.
One person is chosen as the "cus-
toms officer" the rest of the company
being passengers. The officer holds
a handkerchief knotted into ball.
What has A in his trunk" he
asked, throwing the handkerchief at
one Of the passengers" AS he
throws 1t he must fix in his mind one
object commencing with A that can
be packed in a trunk. The person at
whom the handkerchief is thrown
must answer some object commence
ing with A. If he answers the same
word that the officer has in mind he
must pay customs" or forfeit to be
redeemed later, or If he fails to an
swer quickly he must pay customs.
The fun lies in playing quickly,
and in keeping the passengers won

Fine Attraction.

The Girl and the Judge" was the at
traction at the Majestic last night, and
proved to be one of the most appreci-
ated bills so far put on by this popular
stock company. The Girl and the
Judge" tells an interesting story of
rich Judge, who despite the ratings Of
his relatives and friends, marries an
ignorant little country girl, whose only
attribute is pretty face and devoted
love for him.
]. w. Arthur. as the country boy,
proved himself a comedian, and re
ceived many hearty laughs. Miss Ma
rion, as the girl, was charming in her
portrayal of the sweet simplicity of
rural belle. Ruth Gale played the
proud sister in strong and convincing
manner, and proved herself an actress
of versatility. The rest of the cast
were all good. Much interest is being
shown in the diamond ring contest. and
the way the votes are pouring in it
will undoubtedly be a strong contest.
The next bill will be "A Million-Dol-
lar Wife," a comedy that will keep
you laughing from the time OF begin
ming to end.

the case was squarely met and refuted

JOHNSON
On TRIAL
MONDAY

About thirty witnesses were served
with summons today to appear in the
superior court Monday morning and tes-
tify against David Johnson. who has
been charged with keeping an immoral
house and operating a gambling hail.
1t is evident from the large number Of
witnesses summoned that the state will
make a determined effort to convict
Johnson and give him the limit of the
law.
The case Will be tried at 9 o'clock
Monday morning. Most of the wit
nesses summoned will probably be ask
ed to testify as to his character. John
son was arrested a few weeks ago on a
warrant sworn out in the Lake superior
court by Alexander Rodman, another
colored man of the south end of the
city, who is not in sympathy with the
conduct of Johnson.
During the raid on the Johnson es-
Enlistment located on Washington

the warrant. The charge to be tried

ACTUAL
WORK IS
STARTED

Actual work has now been started on
the construction of the $50 coke ovens
which the L. S steel company decided
to have erected at once at Gary. Dur
ing the past week 100 men have been
engaged in grading off parts of the
territory so that sidings could be built
into the property with which to bring
in the necessary material The timber
in this district is also being rapidly
cleared away and the general air of
activity, presages an early completion
of the work.
AS soon as the timber is out from
this locality the work of grading in
which a large number of men and
teams will be employed will be started
The district where the ovens will be
located is much the same as the rest
of the territory skirting the lake, with
an abundance of hills and swamps
VIII BE Glad News.
The information that work has al
ready been started on the ovens, and
that number Of men will be employed
in their construction is one of the big
gest boosts that Gary has had for some
time. 1t means a gradual increase in
the pay rolls which will probably never
stop increasing until The American Car
and Foundry and American Locomotive
works have been constructed.
A large quantity of material for the
construction of the coke ovens has been
ordered by the steel company and will
be delivered on the grounds as soon as
the siding on the c. l. S. & E. rafl-
road can he constructed
Near Lake Michigan.
The place where the work has been
started is about a mile and half east
of the Gary harbor and near the lake.
This is a surprise to some who had
thought tht the ovens would be located
alongside of he harbor, bu his property
is inttnded for other purposes. This
land, however, is large enough to erect
almost any number of cokt ovtns that
he company may desire.
At the present time the grading done
on the property is by man and wheel
barrow, the work now being confined
to putting through roads so that teams
and railroad cars bring he material
and ools, can be run onto the property
The hundred men now employed in the
work will be largely increased as soon
as the actual work of grading begins
This number will be steadily increased
until the ovens are in operation.

GARY ELECTRICIANS
AGAIN OUT ON STRIKE
Old Differences Are Barely
Settled When Others
Arise.
CONFERENCE THIS MORNING
Union Men Charge Employers With
Under Observation-Disclosures
Point to Agreement.

A few hours after the settlement OF
the electrical union strike in Gary tht
men again walked out because of an
other disagreement in the working
rules. The fifteen men who are en-
ployed in Gary have all laid down again
and it now appears as if the matter will
either be settled permanently today or
that a settlement will never be reached.
A meeting was held this morning to
talk over the situation.
The latest cause of the disagreement
is in the employment of the men by the
contractors. The latter claim that by
the terms of their working rules they
were allowed to hire which ever men
they choose, but instead of doing that
the union sent around the men whom
they wanted employed and the con-
tractors refused to take them if they
were undesirable.
Contractors Employ New Electricians.
Scarcely any of the men who had
been working for the contractors be-
fore were sent back to the same man.
Only one contractor has any men en-
ployed in his work and that is the
Arnold company who has one man.
One of the largest electrical contrac-
tors. who refused to be quoted yes
terday said that they would either
come to an agreement with the union
toray or fight them. He said hat an
| attempt would probably be considered
to employ the union men under the
Reid Murphy leadership instead OF
those whom they have employed in the
| past
The strike of the electricians has tied
up building operations in several OF
the largest buildings in the city and in
many of the residences. Neither side
seems willing to give in on the matter
and it is hard for the INTO reach ar
| agreement.
