TORPEDOES EXPLODE
AND SHAKE GARY
Explosion Frightens Some of
the Magic City's
Residents Today.
TWO MEN ARE SLIGHTLY HURT
Overheated Steam Pipe Passing Near
Explosive, Believed To Be
the Cause.

Two barrels of torpedos In the big
store building in the Kirk yards. cas-,
of Gary, exploded this morning at 7:3C
O'Clock, injuring two men running the
building and rOusfng the city of Gary "a
though an earthquake had occurred.
The two men who were injured were
Harry Anderson, who lives in Gary and
Rheinhold Meyers, who stays at the
Kirk hotel.
Had the explosion occurred at a later
hour many more men would probably
have been injured but most of them
come to wok from Chicago on train due
in Gary at 7:45.
Cause of Explosion.
1t is thought that an over-heated
steam pipe passing near the torpedos
caused the explosion. The two men
were not seriously injured, although
their injuries were painful. They were
able to go to their homes alone. Thew
were caught by flying glass from the
broken windows.
The building, which was wrecked. is
two-story brick structure occupyfng
an area of rs feet by 100 feet. One
corner has been completely torn out
and the other walls so cracked that the
building will have to be practically re-
built
The two barrels of torpedos con-
tanned considerable amount of dyna-
mite and were placed there in company
with other material for storage The

ciude Senator A Bowser as an i'm

He was dined and wined and pulled
up. There was nothing too good for
Mr.. Bowser. Finally, no one knows
how it happened. Bert Bowser dropped
into Gary one day. He was Just the
man Captain Norton was looking for.
The captain enquired about his
health and asked him If he would not
like to go to work at $3.50 a month.
more or less, provided the work was
not hard on his health and would not
be too combining.
Bert Bowser became general utility
man for the Gary Land company and
the first string was ready to be pulled.
Emerson Bowser happened into town
under similar circumstances 1t was
really surprising to Emmerson how
many good things were lying around
ready to be picked up by the right man.
Emmerson Bowser was made the chief
of the Steel company watchmen at s125
per month, more or less. The second
string was laid.
He il Not Keeper for His Brothers, No.
If Senator Bowser has any more
close relations which have not yet been
located it is safe to bet they are located
somewhere in the new steel city"
The Hammond man, who is close to
the situation and knows Gary and Gary
dom from start to finish. went on to
say: "Of course Senaor A. J. Bowser
IS not responsible for the actions of
either the United States Steel corpora
ton or would he step in and interfere
when his brothers were about to be
handed soft snaps by the steel corpo-
ration but at the same time it may ac-
count for the fact that Senator Bowser

for the court" he said Just to show
that we are in good faith
The amendment was adopted and the
bill went to engrossment. The next
time it is called up it will be ready for
passage.
But the fact is that there is not like
ly to be any new court established for
Lake county, neither at Gary nor Ham
mond. This is merely a guess, but it
looks like good one, for the Ham
mond people and the Gary people have
stirred up such a iirty muss over the
court question that it looks like neither
side will get what it is after The pros
pect is that the Gary bill will pass the
senate and be killed in the house. and
that the Hammond bill will get through
the house all right and get the axe in
the senate.
Long Expected Bill Arrives.
Representative Hay of Vigo, intro
duced a bill yesterday that has long
been expected but which was late in
coming to the front. It provides for
a change in the law so that city Of
f1eers may be elected to a second term
Under the present law city official is
not allowed to succeed himself. He
may only serve one term Of four years
but Hays bill proposes to change this
SO that he may run again and if elected
he may serve a second term. But he
cannot hold more than two terms
making eight years in all.
This bill grew out of a meeting of
the mayors of the cities Of the state
held here some weeks ago. The mayors
are among those who are not allowed
under the present law to succeed them
selves, and they did not think il was
fair for them to be tied to limit in
this manner. Many of them admitted
right out that they were good officials
and that therefore they ought to be re-
elected. And they decided to go to the
legislature with their troubles. Hays
bill is the result.
Funny Bill.
Representative Wider, of Goshen. in
troduced a funny bill yesterday. 1t
provides that applications for marriage
licenses shall be kept on file in the Of
fee of the county clerk for period of
ten years and that there shall be no
other record of marriages kept Just
how man could prove after living with
- s0u ce'iS lilot ne WAS married
to her is not made plain but perhaps
Wider goes on the theory that after ten
years the man would not care to prove
it,
The three mile road law came in for
more attention yesterday when two
more bills to repeal it We're introduced.
They seem determined to kill that law.

FHE TRAFFIC OF THE GREAT LAKES

last year there were 1921 arrivals
ana clearances at this port, an aver
age of 40 day. Steamers mass
through the Detroit river on an av-
erage OF one very II minutes. night
and day. Harbors and canals must
be enlarged to facilitate the growing
business, and unless there is some
means available for the protection
or this vast shipping the tragedies
OF the next decade will be greater
than those of all the past.
Tragedies of the Great Lakes.
The Great Lakes form one of the
most treacherous highways in the
world. Great storms, coming i'm at
lew hours notice, do enormous
damage to shipping. Scores of YES
sells suddenly and mysteriously dis
appear each year, leaving no trace.
According to the records more than
Sl5, 100000 worth of freight has
been lost on the lakes, involving the
Wrecklng of $4,000 vessels and the
total loss of more than 1000 ships.
| During the last 80 years, in which
time the records have been practi-
cally complete, the wrecked vessels
numbered some 5000 nearly 1900
OF which were total losses, while the
loss in cargoes alone has exceeded
$12,0OO,000 in this same period.
A notable case in point occurred in
1906, when the steamer Flagg went
down with a cargo of metal worth
$780, 900, none of which ever has
been recovered. One of the most
horrible disasters in the whole his
tory of the Great Lakes was the
Wrecking of the Griffin and her de-
struction near Cleveland, involving
the loss of 2S6 lives. Thousands of
other tragedies mark the history of
the treachery of Great Lakes storms.
During the first week of October.
1908, round dozen ships, valued
approximately at 100000 each, were
wrecked during a severe storm.
Wireless telephony is now being in
! troduced, and by next Spring the
system will be in use from end to
end of the chain of lakes. By use
OF this system marine insurance rates
will be reduced to a minimum, owing
to the fact that all storm warnings
may be transmitted Immediately to
lake vessels, so that they will have
ample time to make safe harbors,
and, used in conjunction with the ex-
listing land system of wire telephones,
will make it possible for persons
either on the shores of the lakes or
hundreds of miles away to talk with
officers of or passengers on any of
the vessels engaged in the lake trade.
