SCHOCk IS F|NEO
FOR ASSAULT
Difficulty Arising From Ice
Shortage Comes Up in
East Chicago Court.
Especial to THE T1MEs.)

East Chicago, Ind, Nov 16. - The
case of the state against Frank Schock,
charging Schock with assault and bat
terry upon the person of G. NJ Poland
superintendent of the Lake County Ice
company, was up before Mayor De
Briae yesterday. Schock was fined $40
and costs. amounting in all to about
SEQ.
The hight was the outgrowth of an
alleged shortage in ice received by
Schock from the company OF which Fo-
land is the superintendent. Poland, &C
cording to the testimony, met Schock
on the street one day, and going up
to him demanded to know whether he
had said that he Poland, had given
him a thousand pounds of ice to hush
up the fact that he had been receiving
short weight. If he had, he declared,
it was a dirty lie"
1t was then that the blow was struck
by Schock which felled Mack, Schock
alleging that he hit Poland with his
left hand, and that he did not hit him
hard enough to render him unconscious.
According to Mack the thousand
pound book was given Schock, not by
him, but by the drivers of the wagon
who thus made up for an alleged short
age. which according to Schock had
been going on all summer, and the
tender was made, not to hush up the
facts, but in order to make good.
Judge T. NJ c. Hembroff defended
Schock, while Joe Bartholomew repre-.
scented the state and the complaining
witness.

STARTED
Especial to TIE T1MEs.l


Indiana Harbor. Nov. 16-Work on
is to form the new Calumet Car COM
panys plant, was begun yesterday.
simultaneously with the commence
ment of the building came the arrival
of the first car load of machinery, for
the equipment of the first building,
which is now almost completed The
machinery will be installed as speedily
as possible. as it is the intention of
the company to have the plant in work.
ing order as early as Dec. l. It.is a
question whether this can be accom-
plished. but every effort is being bent
to realization of this end, and whether
Dec. l will witness the beginning of
manufacturing operations in the new
plant, or not. there is small question
that few days later will mark the
opening up of activities.
The new building is not so large as
the first one was, but 1t is quite a con-
siderable structure, being 4Ox1oo feet
in diamensions Work on this struc-
ture will be rushed, as was that on the
first building, and it is expected it will
be completed in a few weeks. In the
meantime there is plenty of work OF
the ground and this Is progressing in {
remarkably satisfactory manner. The
grading is almost all done, and tracks
| and switches are being laid.
More machinery is expected to ar.
rive soon and in a few weeks the new
/ industry will take rank as one of thu
| important manufactures of this grea
manufacturing center.

FORGER IS
NOW SOUGHT
BY POLICE

Every effort is being made by the po-
lice today to capture D. L. zeisloft the
clever Gary check forger. who OBJ
tanned money TO the amount of 500 or
more by cash5ng forged checks on
number of Gary merchants last Satur-

mans probable whereabouts and he
will continue to work on the case in
an effort to apprehend the clever young
forger
Yesterday the city was ali agog with
the news of Zeisloft's passing the bad
checks on Saturday night. It is known
that a least q half a dozen Gary mer
chants were victims of this work. As
soon as the news gained circulation
merchants went to their cash drawers.
1t was then that it was remembered
that Ziesloft had made many unsuc-
cessful attempts to pass the worthless
checks.
So bold were his operations that the
merchants who were victims of the
young mans forgeries had absolute
faith that the bogus checks were gen.
utne. The checks ranged in amount
from IS to $20 A search through his
rooms at the Victoria hotel yesterday
revealed the fact that the young man

demic sickness have befallen us.
We have lived in quietness, undis-
turbed by wars - rumors Of wars.
Peace and the plenty of bouteous
crops and of great industrial pro-
duction animate a cheerful and
resolute people to all the renewed

edge the divine source Of these
blessings.
Therefore. hereby appoint
Thursday. the 25th day of Novem-
Der. as a day of general thanks
giving. and I call upon the people on
that day, laying aside their usual
vocations, to repair to their
churches and unite in Appropriate

Almighty Cod.
In witness whereof I have here
unto set my hand and caused the
seal Of the United States to be af-
fixed

From a description of the wheels OF

They are thirty-four inches in diam

There was puncNure in the tire ON
the wheel that was found yesterday.
The other two wheels that were found
had inflated tires and foated on the
river instead Of sinking. This is what
gave the first clew 70 the fact that an
automobile had been thrown into the
river.

result of the discovery of the automo-
bile in the river. The fact that one of
the tires was punctured gave rise to
| the story that possibly the car had be-
come stalled and that some person with
malace in his heart against automo-
bile owners in general had destroy ed
the car and had then tossed it into
the river.
The fact, however, is pointed out
that it would be next to impossible for
a person to break automobile axle
in two without the necessary tools.
And so the whole matter is up in the
air. No one seems to have a theory
that will hold water for more than a
minute. Only the finding of the body
of the car will clear the mystery.

ONE OVER
Election Contests From
Gary Are Started at

Through the attempted ruse of the
democrats of Gary to secure a ma
jority of the eouncilmen by contest
ing the election Of John Siemiasko Of
the Fourth ward, the entire election
may be thrown out as a result of the
petition fled by the republicans for
recount of the ballots, and as all Of
the ballots were destroyed by the poll
clerks, several of the local attorneys
believe that it may invalidate the cleo
ton.
The contest OF Peter Juric was filed
Saturday afternoon, after what the po-
litical leaders say was a mutual un-
Outstanding between the two parties,
that they would let the results of the
election remain as they had after the
official recount. The republicans learn

Early Use Of Spoons.

In France the use of spoons was
not general until toward the end of
the fourteenth century, according to
common belief, but there is a question
about this, for the will of Saint Remi,

of several implements supposed to
have been spoons.
