WAGONS WILL GETHER
CAST OF CLOTHING
Day Nursery Will Be Opened in Which
Mothers May Leave Children-Will
Be Fed and Cared For Until Taken
Home by Parents-Society Has
Done Good Work Already.

The Gary Red Cross charity workers
have now perfected their organization
to such an extent that they are about
to introduce to the public two new
branches which will be novelty to
the people in this part of the state,
and with which they hope to raise
enough money to support the organ
ization.
These new branches viii be known
as the industrial branch and the day
nursery. The industrial branch is so
termed because in this manner the
four charity workers will become self
supporting by virtue of a profit-mak-
ing industry which they are soon to
establish.
The work which they intend to start
this week is the collection from house
to house of all rags. papers and miscel-
laneous articles usually collected from
what is known as the rag" man, and
in fact practically usurp his business
and title.
All Cast or Clothes Wanted.
A canvass has already been made of
the people of Gary to find out how
the housewives would support the eff
frts OF the charity workers to make
money in this way, and they were
greatly pleased with the way that &
will be supported. A wagon will be
put on at once, and several of the I'M
employed OF the city will be given the
opportunity to work for the charity
workers IN gathering and sorting the
articles They hope in this way to also
keep many Of the destitute from starv-
ing.
This idea which win be introduced
by the Red Cross workers of Gary for
the first time in this part of the state
Is not new idea. In Buffalo, the for
mer home of the Gary members of the
band. forty wagons were put in op-
Grafton, and the income proved enough
to support them and provide help for
the needy. If the business in Gary
warrants the putting on of more than
one wagon at the present time another
viii be procured at once.
VIII Open n Day Nursery.
Next week viii probably see the
starting of the second branch of the
Red Cross workers. This is what is
called the Day Nursery" and is plann-
ed for the benefit of mothers who find
1t necessary to work by the day and
are unable to care for their children.
In the future all that will be neces-
sary for them to do is to leave the
child at the headquarters of the work
ers at Seventeenth and Broadway and
it will receive the best of foods and
attention until the mother is ready to
take it home at night. This will solve
one of the greatest problem which the
poor families of the south end encoun-
ter when the support of the family
rests upon the mother.
The work Of the society in Gary is
worthy Of the greatest support and
commentator. They have not ferreted
out the needy who are worthy of help,
but they have exposed those who have
been benefited by the public funds who
were not entitled to it.

Not Even for Friendships Sake.

]. Hampton Moore, congressman
from Philadelphia, was sitting with an
other representative in the cafe of a
hotel where he usually dimes in the
evening. The waiter was an italian,
who had an idea that Mr.. Moore owned
the Capitol or something like that. He
kept watching the congressman for
awhile and then apparently made up
his mind to ask a question that had
been troubling his mind.
"A-whad ees thees polla' bear?"
Mr. Moore looked up in amazement
"A Polar bear" he repeated, why, a
Polar bear is an animal"

continue to grow until it will be the
greatest city in the middle west with
its tentacles reaching out in all di-
rections taking in more towns and
more territory and more population.
Judge Gary has advised the Lake
Shore railroad to prepare to accommo-
date city of 100000 population in
side of three years." he said, and
that is what we are doing up there
right now. Gary is growing at a
wonderful rate. In 1907 the total as
sessed valuation in Lake county was
s37,0o0,00o. Last year 1t was $4,000
600. This year it must be $4,000, 600.
In four more years it will be $780,

court at Gary

with a speech that sounded at first
like he was going to knock the whole
proposition. but in a short time he let

Elkhart and South Bend to Gary and
that he knew from them how Gary is

it will probably be killed. The house
Will then pass the bill introduced by
Representative Garrard of Vincennes
for the appointment of an additional
superior court judge at Hammond. This
bill will then go to the senate where
1t will be slaughtered. There is little
hope for either Gary or Hammond as
it looks now, for the fight between
the two cities has been so bitter, and
so full of politics that neither side
can hope to win All efforts to get
the warning factions from Lake county
have failed and they are at each others
threats today in more ferocious fash
ion then they have been at any time
heretofore in the fight.

RAIL MILL AND OPEN
HEARTH NEARLY READY
With the Opening of That Depart
ment Large Force of Men Will
Be Put to Work-Two Hundred Al
ready Have Gone to Work Since
the Blowing in Of Furnaces.

The total capacity of the furnaces now
producing iron in the Indiana Steel
mills is now nearly fifteen hundred tons
per day. This amount of iron is pro-
duced by the three furnaces which are
now In operation, Nos. 10, IL and IL.
Each OF them has a capacity of 45O
tons per day and they are now being
worked to their fullest extent
Blast furnace No. 10, the third to be
put In operation, was blown in yester-
day and is the third of that unit to be
started. The other furnace, No. 9, will
be ready to start in about three weeks
making an entire unit of furnaces in
full operation. This will increase the
daily output to 1900 tons per day.
Rail MIL Nearly Ready.
Everything now seems in readiness
to put the rail mill and the open-hearth
buildings in full operation. This will
be done in two or three weeks at the
most, and large extra force of men
will be taken on at once. At the pres
ent time, it is said on good authority
that the steel company is hiring from
forty to fifty new men every day and
that this will be continued until they
secure their full complement of men
Two hundred more men were needed to
run the new furnaces which have been
blown in up to the present time.
The steady increase in the number
of men employed in the mills is very
encouraging news for the people OF
Gary and shows that the first unit OF
the plant is now fast nearing compile
ton. The first unit is spoken of as
the starting of the rail mill and the
production Of iron and steel. The new
men being employed every day is in
creasing the pay roll, and bringing
more money into the city. Its effect is
already being felt to certain extent
among the merchants.

/ A DAY IN GARY LAND
Voiceof theP People

Editor. TINES: The readers of your
paper will recall the struggle which
took place about one year ago between
and South Bend Railway company and
the officials of the Gary and Interur-
ban company for a franchise to oper-
ate their lines In and through Tolles-
ton. You will remember, too, the South
Bend people won out and at that time
one sore-head referred to the majority
members of the board as foolish sauer-
kraut, not knowing what they were
doing. And since that time the said
successful company have built their line
into Tolleston and are now operating
their cars through Tolleston to their
main line, or, in other words, Tolles-
ton is connected up with all the towns
and cities lying between Chicago and
South Bend Thus giving Tolleston one
trolley system and Gary two.
Now, dear readers, please sit up and
take notice. that through the wisdom
of the majority of the town board that
Tolleston has Gary beaten a city block
in her rapid transit system. You will
notice that the steel company has al
ready located several of its great sub
sfdiary concerns east and west of
Broadway. you viii notice, also, that
the South Bend line in its east and
west route to and from Chicago runs
up to all these great Industries, in
Guiding the steel mills. They carry
workmen from all parts of To1leston
to all the industries at the rate of six
rides for twenty five cents The peo-
pie living in South Gary have to ride
first north to the Lake Shore depot on
the Gary interurban. paying one fare.
then they have to take the South Bend
line to go east or west, paying another
fare. Thus Tolleston gets for one fare
what costs Gary two fares. So you
will see the foolishness of the sauer-
kraut board turns out to be great wis
DOM And we are sure that not only
the present but also the future resi-
dents of Tolleston will give credit to
the two level-headed Germans on the
town board, Messrs. Behnke and Bor-
mann, whose wisdom has secured for
the town a rapid transit system which
is not equaled by any system in the
country. And all this has been accom-
plished without graft or plumber
Now, knowing as we do the value to
city of good and cheap rapid tran
sit, and that in these days of bribery
and corruption the price of honesty is
above that Of rubies, therefore, we be-
lieve that the future generations will
rise up and call these men blessed. And
let us today give honor unto whom
honor is due. We are proud of our
town and can say to prospective home
seekers that Tolleston has everything
to offer. No spot In the country can
offer better prospects than can Tolles-
ton TOLLESTON MAN.

LOBBYISTS Do NOT WANT
COUNTY BOOKS INSPECTED
So Thick Were They the Senate Yesterday That They
Were Ruled off the Floor-Fleming Has Freeze
out Bill-Another Aimed at Loan Sharks.

OK business These leeches who have
for years sucked tho very life blood
out of many a poor unfortunate have
always been able heretofore to head of
any legislation on the subject. but
there seems a determination this time
to do something with them. At the
request of the Indiana Manufacturers
Bureau Senator Mccullough has intro
duced a bill which provides that no
assignment of future wages shall be
valid unless the assignment is agreed
to by the employer of the person max
ing such assignment. No assignment
of future wages by a married man
even with the consent of his employer
shall be valid unless the assignment
is also signed by the wife of the man
making 1t. This applies TO all assign
ments where the sum involved is less
than $500. 1t is believed that this bill
would put an end to the loan sharks
in this state.

It only had five or six important stories
yesterday that other local papers fall
ed to print.
When the news reached Gary last
night that the bill for Gary's su-
perior court had passed the senate there
was great rejoicing.
Gary's little sister town Of Miller
is also putting on airs. They now have
an interurban station, and the next

of fire department.
Now that Gary Is to have another
skating rink for sure it will relieve
the anxiety of some of those who are
afflicted with the light foot.
The only one we know who could
even have a show against that run
away horse yesterday would be Marshal
Klopf of Millers.
There is no need of ventilating Gary's

little bad air than freeze to death.
There are about eight Gary saloons
who are getting their crepe ready.

A Bold Step.

To overcome the well-grounded and
reasonable objections Of the more intel
ligent to the use Of secret, medicinal COM
pounds, DR.. r. Y. Pierce, of Buffalo, n.
Y, some time ago, decided to make bold
departure from the usual course pursued
by the makers of put-up medicines for do
nestle use, and so has published broad
cast and openly to the whole world, full
and complete list OF all the ingredients
entering inso-the composition of his widely
celebrated hedlches. Thus he has taken
his numerp1s patrons and patients into

Muncie and Anderson would be in the

Would Center the Power.
In cities of the fourth class the max
iRum salary OF the city controller
would be $500 year instead of $1,000.
1t would provide also that cities of the
third and fourth classes might pay their
city civil engineers $500 instead of
$1,000. 1t would be provided further
that members Of the board of public
works in cities of the fourth class
should receive $3.50 year instead of
$1,000. The council would have power
by ordinance to authorize the mayor
to appoint a commissioner of public
works and to provide that the mayor,
the city civil engineer and the commits
sioner could serve as the board of
works. the mayor and the city engineer
to serve without additional pay.
For n Board of Safety.
In cities of the third and fourth
classes that are not county seats the
city clerk would be authorized to COL
lect water rents. In cities Of these
classes the board of works could let
contracts UP to $1,000 without ratifca-
ton by the council and could let con-
tracts up to $500 without advertising.
In cities of the third and fourth clas-
ses If the council shall provide that the
mayor, the city engineer and the COM
missioner Of public works shall form
the board of public works, then the
council may authorize the mayor to
name three other commissioners to act
as the board of safety or the mayor
may appoint q superintendent of po-
lice and a chief of the fire force, and
these three may act as the board of
safety. In cities OF the fifth class the
mayor, without ordinance, would be
empowered to appoint city marshall
and a chief of the fire force, and these
three would act as the board of safety.
In instances in cities Of the third,
fourth and fifth classes when the may
or the chief OF the fire force and the
chief of the police department act as
boards of safety none of them shall be
entitled to additional salary.
Becker Gives Reason
It is pointed out that by such COM
binations as these cities would have
the advantage of a superior form of
government and yet without great ex-
pense. AS to the provision that boards
of works should let certain contracts
without ratification by the city council
and without advertising. Mr.. Becker
says that now public business in many
cases is delayed because for every little
contract the board Of works must go
through the forrnality of advertising
and must get the sanction of the city
council.
