EXPECTED
EXCITEMENT
IS MISSING
Wanes When Tolleston
Light and Water Fran
chise Petitions are Tabled
Tax Levy Fixed for En-
suing Year.

Tolleston, Ind Sept S-Excitement
which was expected for the ToIleston
town board meeting yesterday after
noon. was kept in the back ground
when the various franchise petitions
to furnish the town with light and wa
ter were tabled.
The contest was first thought to Law
between the Gary Heat, Light & Wa
ter company and the Northern Indiana
Gas & Electric Light company, but pc
titions from two other sources were
handed in. ]. c. Walcott, claiming to
representing eastern capital and the
law firm of Ballard & Stanton, repre-
senting the Citizens Lighting com
pany, also made application, but little
or nothing is known of the backing Of
the last two applicants at this time.
The principal reason for tabling the
franchise question yesterday was due
to the fact that the Gary Heat. Light
& Water company did not have its pc
tition in he desired shape.
Probably the most important mat
ter in the session was the fixing OF
the tax levy for the ensuing year. The
taxes. according to this levy. will be
assessed as follows: General fund, 50
cents; street and Alley fund. 25 cents
lighting fund, u cents, and bonded
Indebtedness fund. 10 cents
By a resolution. which was adopted
yesterday, steps were taken to annex
the thirty-one acres directly south ot
Tolleston. known as the Koepke addi.
ton The plat for the Randall fftf
addition to TolIeston embracing five
acres was also accepted.

MONON On
GRILL BY
CORONER

Criminal negligence may be charged
against the Monon railroad because of
the death of Ernest Schmitt, III West
Lake street, Chicago. Schmitt died IN
the baggage coach Of a picnic train
which arrived in Hammond about 3
o'clock Monday night, and eyewitnesses,
according to David Schmitt, brother
Of the deceased. say that the man was
permitted to lay beside the tracks for
nearly an hour without any attempt to
give him comfort and that the train
which struck him did not stop to take
him along to Hammond, where his life
might have been saved in the hospital
The brother also complains about the
lateness of the hour at which time the
family was notified. saying that word
was received IN Chicago yesterday fore
noon. whereas it should have reached
him Monday night at II o'clock at the
latest. The dead man carried an en-
velope bearing his name in his pocket.
The inquest will be finished tomor-
row. The body was taken to Chicago
today for burial next Friday. The de-
ceased leaves a wife to mourn his un-
timely death.

COMPANY
LETS THE
CONTRACT
Hammond Distillery to In
stall Evaporators to Do
Away With Objectionable
Vapors Which Arise From
Feeding of Cattle.

If the people who reside in the
neighborhood of the Hammond Distill-
ing company have had reason for com
plant because of the feeding of cat
tie on the grounds of the distillery they
need worry no longer. The feeding
will be discontinued and John e. Fitz-
gerald. at an expense of s50,OO0 to
$4,000, is installing an evaporator
which will dry the slop, thus making it
possible to ship 1t away.
The contract for the evaporator build
ing has been let to Contractor J. H. Nc
Clay Of Hammond. who expects TO have
a building, 44x5O feet in size, COM
pleted in thirty days.
EvapOratOrS Expensive.
The building will of brick and will
cost in the neighborhood of s3.4O0 OF
$4,000. The principal cost, however. will
be the enormous evaporators which. II
is claimed. will require 700 to 500 tons
of copper for their manufacture. 1t is
this metal that makes them the ex-
pensive thing about the new plan OF
slop disposal. The arrangement, how
ever. removes all of the moisture from
the slop and makes it possible to bag
or bail it up and feed 1t to cattle in any
part of the country.
It is also said that there are i'm
portant nutritious elements in the feeC
that are saved by this process. But
from the standpoint Of the resident.
in the neighborhood of the distillery tn,
great advantage is the sanitary dis.
posal of the slop which they claim pol
lutes the water Of the river and make
the neighborhood unhealthy.

SIX SALOON
KEEPERS IN
BLACK LIST
Remonstrances A G ain S t
Lowell and Whiting Liq-
uor Dealers-One License
Granted - Others Under
Amusement.
Especial to TIE TINES. }

Crown Point, Ind. Sept. S.-The
county commissioners yesterday re-
ceived remonstrances against six Lake
county saloons. Two Of these were in
Lowell and four in whiting. Wassl
Soroko. of Whiting, against whom a
remonstrance was filed, was granted a
license and the cases of the Others
were taken under advisement until to-
day
Among those against whom remon-
strances have been filed are; Jasper
Huh of Lowell. Walter Butowski. John
Cahal and Frank Zachar of Whiting.
The remonstrances are all based on
certain technicalities or are filed
where the opponents of the saloons
find that the saloonkeepers have not
obey the law
It is the old fight that is being
waged by the representatives of the
Indiana Anti Saloon league against
every saloonkeeper in Lake county
who is not living up to the letter of
the law.
Today at 10 o'clock the county com
missioners will make a trip to the
county poor farm to check up the man
agement of that institution. This is
the work OF the commissioners each
quarter
Yesterday the commissioners heard
the above remonstranees against the
saloons. allowed certain bills and lei
the contract for two small bridges
the largest of which was a bridge tc
cost 81 900. which is to be built over
Cedar creek.

WANT IN
As VOTING
CITIZENS
Naturalization Of Foreigners
Again on Tapis as Cam
paigns in Lake County
Cities Begin to Warm
Up.

Naturalization of foreigners will be
the order of the day again as the va
rious city campaigns in the Calumet
region warm up. Since foreigners in
this county can be naturalized only in
the circuit court or in the office of
Charles Surprise, deputy United States
clerk in Hammond, the bulk of the
work of naturalizing the foreigners
viii fall on the young Hammond man.
Already score have been brought In
from East Chicago and made their
declarations Of becoming United States
citizens.
Applicant Must Make Out Own Papers.
Clerk Surprise has inaugurated a
radical change in his office this year
regarding the applications. Hereafter
every foreigner will have to make out
his own applications by filing out the
blanks. These blanks are quite lengthy
and while their filing out is little work
for the individual large number of
them stack up q mountain of work for
the clerk. It is the intention of the
law in the first place that the appli-
cant make out his application. If he
is too ignorant to do this his political
friends who want to see him natural
ized can help him.
Crop Not Large This Year.
In the national campaign last fall
MI Surprise kept experts and an ex-
ira force busy helping out at his own
expense. on all sides it was said that
he was reaping harvest. but the
fact OF the matter was that he was glad
to break even after he had divided
1ar+ Of +be profits with the deD11tx
United states clerk at indianapolis. not
to count the hard work and long hours
that he put In.
1t is not thought that there will be g
big crop of naturalizations this year
as the district had been thoroughly
canvassed in the last campaign. The
return of prosperity, however. has
/ brought new foreigners to the region
/ and it is not unlikely that before the
various campaigns are over severa
hundred more voting citizens viii have
been added to the United States from
: this locality.

TO RESUME FIGHT
At VALPO. SEPT. 80
Gary Saloon Cases to Be
Brought UP in Superior
Court in That City.

Judge John H. Glllett. chief counsel
for the Gary saloon cases. stated this
morning that the fight of the saloon
men for licensed saloons in Gary would
be resumed in the superior court at
Valparaiso. Sept. 80, at which time
Judge Tuthiu set the cases for trial
yesterday, The latter part of this
month Is the earliest that it could have
been hoped that they would come to
trial because Of the fact that the jury
cases are given precedence in making
up the calendar.
Great interest in Gary viii be taken
in the last fight OF the saloon men for
existence. The demonstrators have now
been placed on the defensive by reason
of the fact that the saloon men are try
in to prove that certain number OF
the signatures We're obtained by fraud
and therefore would invalidate the en-
tire remonstrance.
