STONE WEIGHING TON
FALLS FROM DERRICK
Ropes Break as Building
Material Is Being
Hoisted.
MISSES SEVERAL WORKMAN
One Jumps in Nick of Time to Es-
cape Crash in Steel City
Yesterday.

A most thrilling escape was seen yes
terday afternoon on Broadway between
Fifth and Sixth avenues where the new
Ohio building is being erected, when a
large stone, weighing a ton, broke
from the ropes which were hauling it
to the top of the building, and the
huge block crashed to the sidewalk
thirty feet below.
Several of the workmen were stand
ing near at the time and one of the
men was almost directly underneath
the stone. steadying it as it was hauled
to the top of the building. The latter
just had time to jump from beneath it
when it crashed to the sidewalk A
hole in the sidewalk was made foot
deep and a foot wide. The damage to
the concrete sidewalk, however, was
the only damage done. as the stone
was practically uninjured. The place
where the stone hit the sidewalk IS
traversed daily by hundreds of people
and it is most marvellous that either
the workmen or a pedestrian was moi
killed.

BIG SUMS
GOING INTO
BUILDINGS

Gary is in the midst of a building
boom at the present time such as has
never been seen before in the history
Of the new steel city. Hardly day
passes but what several new resi-
dences are started, and all indications
point to the fact that the building Of
new home this year will exceed all the
other years put together since the plans
Of Gary were made.
Not alone in the first subdivision are
new residences being constructed by the
score, but in the territory south OF the
wabash tracks buildings and resi-
dences are springing up in large num-
hers The call for new houses in Gary
has caused the moneyed man to invest
his surplus money in residence and
business property, thereby giving him
a stable investment that he could gain
in no other manner.
Local contractors ard builders are
rushed with work, which promises to
keep up during the entire summer and
fall. A TIMES reporter made a round
of the principal streets in Gary yes
terday afternoon, in the first subdi-
vision. and found there were over los
residences and fat buildings now in
the course of construction. Many OF
these are nearing completion and 9th
er new buildings are started. Yesterday
afternoon the surveyors for the Gary
Land company staken out seven lots
for new buildings in the first subdi-
vision. These will be started at once
It is estimated at the present time by
a Gary contractor, and one who keeps
himself posted on the local building
situation. that there are at least 30t
new residences being erected in Gary

NUMBER Of
DRINKS IS
INCREASING

According to the Gary police officers
there have been more DRINKS on the
streets of Broadway since the closing
of the saloons than there were before.
AS a rule the class Of dry DRINKS are
not noisy and disorderly and few them
have been arrested. But the vexing
question at the present time is, Where
are they getting the Iiquor?"
AS a general rule and stock of liquor,
which the old-timers laid away when
the saloons closed over a week ago
has been disposed of, and still the most
perceptable Tags are in evidence. It is
certainty that liquor is being sold
In Gary, in the south end. where
blind tigers are operating by the
dozens, and incidentally there are one
or two in the first subdivision. It is
the class of saloonkeepers who arc
now selling liquor without license
in a lawless manner that caused the
| circulation OF the remonstrance in the
first place.
| Authorities Know of "BIind Tiger"
| The fact that blind tigers" are in
/ operation is matter of general
knowledge, the police of Gary know II
and Deputy Prosecuting Attorney
Hodges knows it, and up to the present
time not a step has been taken by
either one &C them to stamp out the
practice.
1t is said that the operation of the
blind tigers and the presence Of
DRINKS on the streets of Gary has beer
encouraged by some who are trying tc
make it appear as If the city was more
lawless than when the saloons we're II

NEGRO HEAvYWEIGHTS TO MEET

Paris, April 16.-An unusually large
demand for tickets gives evidence of
the public interest displayed in the
finish fight at Wonderland tomorrow
night between the American negro
heavyweights, Sam McVey and Joe
Jeanette. The fight is expected to
settle the ng-disputed question of SUI
premacy between the two big negroes.
A few weeks ago they met in a TWEEN
tyround bout. and the referee after
first declaring Jeanette had won. re
versed his decision in favor of McVey.
Interest in the coming battle has been
increased by the fact that the winner
will probably be matched to fight Sam
Langford before the National Sporting
club of London next month.
