EXTRA MAIL
CARRIER IN
GARY NOW

Postmaster John W. Call, by per
mission of the postofhce department,
has put on an extra man for the mail
carriers in the person Of Ross Helby.
This was found necessary owing to
the growing work in the department
and as there We're no carriers on the
waiting list Mr.. Helby was put on
with provision to take the examina-
ton in the near future.
The territory for the mail delivery
has been increased and now takes in
the twenty five houses east of the Kirk
yards. d.
An idea Of the amount of business
may he gained when it is remembered
the first Monday morning mail brought
In 300 pieces of frst-class mail mat
ter.
The efficiency of the service is proven
by the fact that the mails arriving at
$50 on the Wabash. 1920 and 1850 on
the Lake Shore is all delivered before
noon.
Nine mails are sent out each day
and eight are received.

East Chicago, Ind, Aug. 12.-There
is. considerable speculation as to who

brary board, now that the assurance
of a public library has made necessary
the establishment of such a body
The court has the appointing of three
members, the city council two and the
board of education two, and while lit
tie has been said concerning individ-
uals who will constitute the board. it
is understood that there are to be three
women appointees, and that the East
Chicago Reading club will be repre-
scented in the membership. Incident
ally, as Indiana Harbor viii come in
for its share in the library, it IS un-
derstood that the Progress club will
seek representation on the board.
Wherever the subject is preached,
one hears the names of Mrs John D.
Kennedy mentioned for the honor, as
representing the Tuesday Reading club.
and Mrs. J. A Patterson has a large
voluntary following in the Harbor in
the interests of the Progress club.
Both OF these ladies is president of her
respective club. and Mrs. Patterson, as
well as being the chief executive of the
Progress club is an active and valued
member of the Tuesday Readin gclub
There are others whose names are men
toned. but up to date these two would
seem to have the lead. It is not known

4 LITTLE
GIRL TELLS
GREAT STORY

The pitiful walls of two small girls
whose voices cried out in the stiffness
of the night asking for protection
against rohbers and murderers. last
night Tor a time caused intense ex-
element on Tyler street and at the
Gary police station.
The first word of the threatened
tragedy came to the police station from
Rec. Francis Jensen, who telephoned
asking that police be sent to his
neighborhood at once to inquire as to
the cause for the heart-rending cries
Soon other calls were sent TO the police
station, and Sergeant Bowling al once
despatched two officers. They had Mt
tie trouble in finding the place. ior
they saw two little girls. 10 and 70
years old respectively, sitting in the
window Of the second story of their
home and crying as though their
hearts would break. They were afraid,
being alone in the house. Their father,
William Currey. is employed on the
night shift in the mills, and the moth
er had gone to sit with a sick friend.
The girls promised her that they would
not be afraid, but when they awoke

Indianapolis. Ind, Aug. 12.-Tom
Taggart and Mayor Rose of Milwau-
kee dropped into town yesterday at
almost the same minute. Rose came
from Milwaukee and Taggart from
Massachusetts, where he had spent sew
eral weeks having a good time. The
two men scarcely lit in town until
people began to ask them about poll
tics
While Taggart was at the seashore
he spent much time fishing for shark
and Holsters. and he caught some of
both, too. When he was asked for a
statement in regard to the local politi-
cal situation and why he did not come
home in time to vote at the primary
election last week when democratic and
republican candidates for mayor We're
nominated. Taggart did not hesitate to
answer. On the general political stu
alton he said:
SHARK fishing is great sport. on
one day we caught a shark that meas
ured five feet ten and one-half inches,
and weighed 14S pounds. On that same
day we caught five sharks and the
smallest weighed thirty pounds.
Now, when you go out to catch
sharks you don't want to go in small

after you have hooked them There
were twelve or fifteen of us in the
party when we went out after sharks
and Gilbert Hurry, son of Dr. Hurry
secretary of the state board of health
of Indiana was in the party. He
hauled in the largest shark"
What are sharks good for?' wa:
asked.
For bait" replied Mr.. Taggart
They are good for nothing but bait
Lobster Fishing Different.
Now. as to lobster fishing, that il
entirely different. You put down
small box. something like a chicken
coop, with a partition in it. The lob
ster goes through the partition TO ge
the bait, but getting back through tin
hole is impossible. The plan is tn
I same as that used in catching mic

COAL SUPPLY
FOR YEARS
To CONF:
United States Steel Com
pany Buys Up $4,000
Acres of Coal Rights in
Southern Illinois; Market
Will Not Affect Corpora
ton.

The Gary plant of the Indiana Steel
company is to be benefited by a deal
that has just been closed between the
Illinois Steel company and the Ham
mond Coal company of Georgetown,
wherein the former purchased $4,000
acres of coal rights. This makes the
second large purchase by the United
States Steel corporation within the last
few months and they now have coal
fields enough to supply the two steel
plants for many years.
The latter purchase near Georgetown
and Riola, Ill, were obtained in two
sections; 1900 acres secured direct by
purchase and options a short time ago
and then within the last few DAYS they
took over 400 acres of coal rights
from the Hammond Coal company. The
Hammond company still holds options
on a large acreage and 1t has not been
decided yet what will be done with
that.
The farmers and other land owners
were busy last week in signing over
their rights to the Illinois Steel com
pany. The transfers were made to
Archibald Cummins. who acquired the
large acreage Of coal near Georgetown
and transferred It Thursday of last
week 10 the 6uDSen coal company, sub
sidiary TO the Illinois Steel company.
Wei Provide dior Future
The DanvilIe Press Democrat COM
ments on the purchase as follows:
BY acquiring this immense guam
tity of unmined coal the Illinois Steel
company is providing for its future
fuel supply. and have enough to keep
their furnaces going for long time.
| 1t is stated on good authority that the
coal thus acquired is not acquired for
| speculative purposes and that it will
be mined by the steel company as re-
| quired for its use. As this means that
the Illinois Steel company will con-
duct mining operations on a large
scale in order to supply the Illinois
and Indiana plants with fuel, and thai
its mine operations will not be affected
by market prices or competition, il
| viii be seen that the requirement 0.
all this coal with the activities thar
will undoubtedly follow, wi be
tbig boon to Danville and vicinity A.
the steel company's plants requir,
large quantities of coal the year arount
it means steady employment all tn
time in the mines operated by it."

will return to a sane basis on the liz
uor question. Mayor Rose is the man
who made himself famous a few
months ago by taking the liquor side
of the question in several debates
which We're given great publicity.
The county option law is bad" he
said There is no reason why the
people of one locality should decide
what the people Of another locality
should do. People of different local
ties although they live near each other
differ greatly sometimes in tempera-
ment and habits.
Good Regulation Needed.
Good regulation of the saloons is the
thing that is needed. We have in Mil
waukee about two thousand saloons.
Last week we had a homecoming
there and there were more people in
the city than 1 ever saw there before.
During the entire time We had only
twenty arrests for drunkenness.
Everything was orderly. OF course we
had good police protection.
The county option law is unconsti-
tutional The state and not the county
is the unit of government and if pow
er is transferred it must be transfer
red to the smallest unit of government
which is the township"
Mayor Rose is not believer in the
present day primary election system
which, he says. is anything but good
one The primary law in Wisconsin is
particularly bad, he says, for several
| reasons
In Wisconsin," he said, "a voter car
go In and get the ballots of all par
ties and then he votes the one he
wishes. The result has been that tht
candidates of one party have been nom
mated largely by the voters of another
| party. one party can nominate any
kind of candidate it wishes for th'
other party.
Why Law Is Objectionable.
The law is Objectionable, too. be
cause every candidate in his campaign
for the nomination must build up hi'
! organization and spend n great deal o
money and then il he is defeated hi
| organization amounts to nothing. TIL
campaign for the nominations stirs ~
strife between the candidates and it il
often hard to heal the breaches in tim
for the campaign for election"
Mr. Rose said he hard heard grea
deal of talk about the tariff bill in hi
state. Some of the opinions had bee
favorable and some unfavorable 'Th
tariff is a local question: he declared
Il none section if they get tariff @
lumber they don't care anything abou

For The Ietty-

According 70 a Washington dis.
patch Senator Fulton had a confer.
cnee with the Chief Of Engineers with
reference TO the necessity for imme.
diate appropriations for river and
harbor work in Oregon. He learned
that the river and harbor committee
had called on the engineers for re-
port as to the necessity OF only three
projects in the country, one Of them
at the mouth Of the Columbia River.
The Chief Of Engineers says that
5000 Is absolutely necessary for the
maintenance Of that project, but he
needs an additional 100000 TO car
ry the work ahead and will strongly
urge that this amount be provided.
He also believes it essential that suf.
Ifcient appropriations be made to re-
pair and put in commission the
