ter

divorce pending against him in Chicago,
he Immediately threw the case out Of
court He announced that he could not
see where the Lake county court could
be brought into the deal until such
time, at least as the divorce action
was settled.
The action for the writ of habeas cor
pus was directed against Harriet Small
berg, the aunt of the child in con-
troversy, and sister of the mother of
the little one. Mrs. Smallberg had the
child in hiding with her in East Chica-
go in order TO elude the father who had
been seeking to kidnap it. A couple

ing at the Smallberg home on the pre-
tense of visiting his little daughter.
While there he picked the baby up and
started out of the house toward a car
riage, which was in waiting The
screams of Mrs Smallberg, who fol-
lowed Masura out of the house, called
neighbors to her aid and Masura was
forced to abandon his plan.
Masura and his wife have been sepa-
rated for some time. Shortly after the
separation the wife was given a decree
for separate maintenance, and since
then she has filed a suit for divorce
In the meantime Mrs. Masura has beer
in i'll health, and for this reason the
child was given into the custody Of

AFTER The
BLINDPIGS
Thus Far En-
shrouds Nature of Grand
Ju1y's Investigation AT
fecting Gary = Twenty
Witnesses Examined.
(special to THE TIMEs.l )

Crown Point, Ind. Oct. e.--It was 4
o'clock yesterday afternoon before the
twenty witnesses who were summoned
to testify before the grand Jury were
through with their evidence.
The inquisitorial body went into ses-
sion about 10 o'clock and the witnesses
summoned wandered around the court
house, wondering what sort of evi-
dence would be required Of them. One
by one they entered the chambers OF
the grand jury and 1t was with some
little awe that they sat down in the
witness chair. Some remained but a
short time while other witnesses were
closeted for nearly an hour.
Just what the nature of the grand
tury's inves tigation will be IS only a
matter Of conjecture until the indict-
ments are returned, If there be any at
all. and it is not thought likely.
whether it was the graft charges or
Gary's blind tigers that the jury il
investigating could not be learned. as
after the witnesses left the grand jury
chambers they were as close -mouthed
as clans.
RumOr Credits Blind Pig Theory.
The latter theory is given the most
credence. according to certain stories
that were noised about the courthouse.
1t is said that the grand jury is not
only questioning the witnesses con-
cerning the blind pigs, but gambling
is coming under their scrutiny as well.
1t is said that the investigation will
continue today and probably tomor-
row. over fifteen witnesses went to
the county seat this morning. among
them being Leslie Caldwell the Gary
negro who, at a republican meeting
recently startled the listeners by de-
claring that he had paid '.hush money"
to certain parties IN the hall for all
lowing a crap game.

cision was arrived at after the case
had been on trial for the most of two
days.
1t is understood that the case is to be
bitterly contested through to the su-

maintain that they were tricked into
an agreement by Daniel Scully of the
American Maize Products company by
which this company was to have the
right to lay pipes in the harbor. The
company declare that the courts de-

Indianapolis. Ind, Oct. 6.-Mystery
surrounding the arrest of a young Pol
ish boy in this city two weeks ago by
the police and the discovery that he
had been shot in the leg, was cleared
yesterday after the boy had told
number OF stories concerning his con-
dftion and how he came to town. The
boys name is now known to be John
Urbank, and his home is in East Chi
cago
After repeated inquiries in Chicago
concerning the boy, Juvenile Court Of

ed for information. A clew was OBJ
tanned there and the letter was turned
over to an officer who explained the
case.

school at PlainHeld two weeks ago by
officer Thomas Muzzal of Crown

about for a short time without hand
cuffs. AS soon as the handouts were
removed the boy made his escape. La
ter he md another boy were found in
a lumber pile and the Urbank boy had
a bullet in his leg. He told several
different stories about how he came
to this city, but has never told any
thing about how he got the bullet in
his leg. He refuses to say a word
about it. except that he was shot by
an officer. but he does not say what
officer shot him.
After be was picked up here he was
taken to the city hospital for treat
ment. and yesterday he was taken to

MED0RA HOTEL RAlpED
MUCH EVIDENCE Taken

A dispatch from MedoEa bearing date
OF November 20, says:
The Enforcement LEAGUE got in it's
work at the Rough Riders hotel here on
November 10. when the place was
searched and cases of beer discovered.
An injunction is now on the front part
of the house.
The Rough Riders hotel was erected in
the winter of 1884-5 by George Fitz-
gerald. and was operated as a hotel by
him until the fall of the curtain in 1887.
Fitz lost it on a mortgage, when it
became the property of the DeMores
company. and remained idle for over ten
years. when it was sold to one Tom
Grozier and has in the past twelve years
passed through the hands of yer half a
dozen parties. The joy of life has al
ways been dispensed and no one ever

The hotel was formerly known as the

ated last year by T. E. johnson who

TUNGSTEN

One of the most widely known of the
rarer metals is tungsten. The produc-
ton of this metal in the United States.
however. is not large. as a little of it
goes a long way for. some of its most
important, uses. AS by far the largest
part of tungsten produced is used in
making tool steel, the demand for
tungsten decreased greatly during the
recent depression in the steel industry.
Tungsten is of wide occurrence, but the
Individual deposits can hardly be said
to be large. AS a rule they are
''pocketey'-that is, they occur in
lenticular masses or small shoots. Many
of those at the surface are quickly and
easily mined, but it may then take all
the profits derived from the first ore body
to locate another n
The most important use of tungsten
is an alloy for tool ~steels, to which it
imparts the property of holding temper
at a much higher temperature than high
carbon steels. When lathe tools are
made of tungsten steel the lathe may be
speeded up until the chips leaving the
tool are so hot that they turn blue. 1t
is said that about five times as much
work can be done by a lathe built for
such speed and work and fitted with
tungsten steel tools as can be done by
the lathe with carbon steel tools. From
16 to 20 per cent of tungsten is ordin-
arily used in lathe tools.
AS the melting point Of tungsten lis
very high-about 3, $50 degrees C.-the
metal is valuable for use as a filament
in incandescent electric lamps, and such
lamps are rapidly coming into common
use. The whiteness of the light given
by the tungsten flament makes il much
superior to that of carbon and the eff
cheney of the tungsten lamp is more
than twice as great as that of the carbon
lamp. Thousands of flaments can be
made from a pound of tungsten.

PRESIDENT TAFT GETS A TIP"
How to Make Interstate Commerce Law
Just

Attorney II. M. Stephens, represent
ing shippers of interior cities, accom-
panied by Senator Jones and Repre-
sentative Poindexter, had five minute
talk with President Taft recently, and
Mr. Stephens presented suggestions rel
alive TO amendments TO the interstate
commerce law
President Taft listened attentively to
Mr.. Stephens, and at the conclusion of
his remarks said il would greatly please
him to have the entire subject presented
at greater length in November.
Briefly, Mr.. Stephens argument
would be TO put the shipper on par
with railroad companies in their given
right Of appeal TO circuit courts over
decisions of the interstate commerce
commission affecting rates.
As the law now stands railroad com
panies can go into the courts of the
United States and ask for an injunc-
ton against orders of the commission.
The shipper is denied this right. In
principle it is contended there can be
no possible difference between shipper
and common carrier, and il is TO put
both upon a square and equal basis
that Stephens contends.
