BRICKLAYER
LOSES LIFE
Many People Witness Oc-
currence and Are Hor-
rified at Sight.

Bert Faultz, foreman of the brick
layers on A. H. Tapper's new bust
ness block in Hammond, was killed
and William T, Vogt, bricklayer,
was badly injured when scaffolding,
upon which they were working,
broke and humping against a newly
laid brick wall surmounted with
terra Gotta, carried away part of the
wall and preoipitated them twenty
feet below on the top Of the platform
protecting the sidewalk.
WARNING TOO LATE.
There was a warming shout when
the scaffolding began to give way,
but it was too late for the working
men to save themselves and as the
careening scaffold carried the top Of
the wall and the terra Gotta with it,
the Mortified workingmen who saw
the accident were terror stricken
when the men plunged head-first over
the wall.
BURIED IN WRECKAGE.
BY the time the wreckage was reach
ed by the rescuers the men were found
to be half buried in it. William T. vogt.
one of the injured men, was heard
groaning and he was rescued first. As
the protecting platform over the side
walk is ten feet from the ground, and
the injured men and the debris was on
top Of that. it was with difficulty that
they we're lowered to the ground.
1t was seen that vogt had a chance
of recovery and great haste was made
to remove him to the hospital AmbuI-
ances were called and soon there were
several at the scene.
WAS KILLED OUTRIGHT.
BY the time vogt was on his way to
the hospital the workingmen had re-
moved Bert Faultz from the wreck
age and lowered him to the ground
A deep cash in his head made 1t appar-
ent that he had been killed outright.
He was taken in one of the ambuIances

The fire department was called out

aid in the work of removing the bodies

Whiting, Ind, Nov. 30.-In open
defiance to the manifest opposition
of the people of Whiting to the Cas-
tleman franchise, in defiance Of the
Whiting Municipal association, which
declared its unalterable opposition to
this measure, in defiance Of the de-
cision of Judge John H. Gillett, who
showed the franchise to be rotten, in
defiance of the veto of Mayor Fred
Smith, who showed the grant to be
a most vicious measure, the Whiting
council gave the franchise grab the
stamp of its unanimous approval last
night.

silence by the city fathers, who had al
ready made up their minds. The citi-
zens in the crowd. however, were loud
in the expression Of their approval of
what the mayor had to say. The coun-
cilmen, hardened by the volume OF pub

smiles and proceeded to pass the fran

Messrs. McEllroy and Reed of the

An aggravated case of "hookworm"
was diagnosed in the city court before
Judge Mcmahon this morning The pa
tient was Charles Tiben, swede. 27
years old. who has been in this country
less than three years. Tiben pleaded
guilty to harboring the "hookworm"
and Judge McMahon ordered him taken
to Tom Grants sanatorium at Crown
Point to remain there for fifteen days.
The only regret that Tiben has about
going to Crown Point is that he must re-
main there for only fifteen days in
stead of four or five months.
In common every day police parlance.
Tiben is "vag," and in the city court
he was charged with vagrancy he hav-
Ing loafed around town since the 4th
of this month.
TfbeIPs Case Strange One.
The case of Tiben Is a strange one
from many viewpoints and he would
undoubtedly be an interesting subject
for the students Of psychology, Grim
inology and anthropology.
Tibell is not an ordinary "vag." at
least, not from his general appear

prisoner that has been brought up be-

but he is, according to the Judge. the
first Swede that has ever been brought
before him on such a charge. Sitting
there in the witness chair. a smile in
dicating amusement, played constantly
over his fine features. He says he is

providing the boys succeed in securing
1000 subscribers to Golfers during the
coming year. The proposition was not
made by Golfers but was made by
Judge Brown to them
To Advertise Hammond.
The most valuable thing about this
proposition is the fact that Golfers

ticles about this new movement for
boys
This will give Hammond a great deal
of valuable advertising all over the
United states. The Hammond Boyville

HARRISON HOME
With Apparatus Ralph Noe Con-
structed He Intercepts Mes
sages Through the Air.

Following the lead of the great Mar
conf, Ralph Noe, Of Patterson street,
Harrison, though only 10 years of age.
has constructed a wireless telegraph
station in his room, with which he
takes messages in transit through the
air. His apparatus is complete and
original.
An EVENING STAR reporter who
inspected Noes station found the
young man fondly tinkering with his
clever piece of mechanism. Noe ex-
planned the machinery and said he had
constructed it unaided.
The apparatus consists of a number
of batteries and switches, a ticker, a
receiver and telephone brace. The
batteries are connected with four wires
strung in the rear of the house. He
adjusted the apparatus and demon
strated its efficiency by intervening a
message, the ticking of which could be
heard, but neither the young inventor
o the reporter could interpret 1t.

nue., Harrison, also has a homemade
wireless apparatus, and often carries

appointed a committee by the Third
Ward Republican Club of Arlington to
confer with other political clubs of the

much-talked about bridge over the Pas
sale river north of Clay street.
The matter of constructing a bridge
is now said to be before the Hudson
County Board of Freeholders. There
is a difference of opinion as to the best
location for the proposed structure. A
number of persons are in favor of hay
ing the span stretch from Midland ave-
nue., Arlington, to the Newark side.
while there are a few who seem to
think that it ought to be located at
Halstead street; Kearny.
The project has received much consid-
