Prominent Citizen and In
fuential Man Dies at His
Home on Webb Street
This Morning After Long
and Patient Suffering.

DR. John c. Pannenborg of Hammond,
aged 81, one of it's most prominent ply
sicians and influential citizens and a
factor in the city, died at his residence
on Webb street this morning of an all
ment from which he has been sufferer
for the past year Heroic efforts were
made to give him relief and to cure the
maIady. but it was finally seen that
such efforts were useless, and it be-
came only a question of making him
comfortable until death ended his suf-
fering.
DR.. Pannenborg died from a COM
plication of diseases. principal of which
was chronic bladder trouble. He was
treated by local physicians for time,
and then went to specialists in Chi

it was beyond their powers to assist
him.
Many Mourn HIS Loss.

THREE THOUSAND
BANKERS COMING
Gary to be Invaded by Men Repre-
senting Millions of Dollars
in Money

Just how this great body of men can
be properly handled in Gary is
question which has not been settled.
A special effort will be made to show
them the wonderful development of te
city, Captain Norton said. but the
question viii be to transport them
about the city.
On Two Excursion Steamers.
The two big excursion steamers viii
bring the visitors into the Gary har-
Dor Wednesday morning. They will
probably be met there by the members
of the Commercial club, and in ispec-
tion of the mills will follow. They
Will then be taken through the town
and probably be dined if the proper ar
rangements can be made. This matter
will be taken up and discussed at the
August meeting of the Commercial
club by President Norton.
The coming of the big bankers Of
the United States to Gary will have
the effect of bringing the great fnan-
cial interests of the country in closer
touch with the new steel city. Those
who have had the slightest question
as to the stability of the city or doubt
the representations made about the
steel mills Will then be satisfied in
their own minds.
Program Ends with Ball.
The program for the convention OF
the bankers association in Chicago, as
outlined by a committee of the Chicago
clearing house. which has this matter
in charge, includes besides the trip to
Gary on Wednesday, Sept. Is. a dinner
to the executive committee Of the as
sociation. and on the following night
the entire Coliseum will be taken over
by the bankers, including Feruno's )
, band and italian ballet. The great So
cial event Of the week will be the
grand ball on Thursday evening. The
Auditorium theater has been rented
for the occasion.

a dozen people, Mrs. John walters was
found by Desk Sergeant DeBow and
Officer Frenck in Concordia cemetery
last evening at 9:45 calmly waiting for
death to end her sufferings and take
her from a cold and friendless world
The attempted suicide is one of the
most unusual that the local police have
ever had to deal with. Last night c..
"a Hartbrode, a local street car con-
ductor, stopped at the police station
and gave Sergeant DeBow a letter
which woman had handed him just
before he left the Standard Steel Car
district. The letter was follows:

race to Crown Point, around the
Cobe race course and back to Ham
mond, with the alternative of making
it a road race to South Bend or In
dianapolis. in which c. H Stewart of
the Stewart Undertaking establishment
and Irving etz of the +. S. Betz Co. are
the principals, is one of the possibili-
ties of the near future. Mr.. Stewart
has a Winton and Mr.. Betz a Stoddard-
Dayton.
What is more the race is likely to
be run with 800 to $500 the prize for
the winner. The proposed contest is
attracting the attention Of automobil-
lists all over the city. If it is pulled
off there Is likely to be great deal of
local interest in the event.
The race started when Betz came into
McMullen's garage a day or two ago
and said that he had just returned from
Crown Point in thirty-fve minutes Mr..
Stewart was there and doubted that he
had made the distance in that time.
How the Race Started.
Il say I came back in thirty five
minutes" said Betz hotly "and 1 can do
it again"
If you can do it in thirty FIVE min
utes I can do 1t in thirty" was Stew
arts challenge.
I'll just bet you 500 that I can
beat you from here to Crown Point
around the course and back again." ex-
| claimed Betz,
Put up the money with McMuIlen
and I'll bet you" was the reply.
Then there was a lot of talk about
! the course. 1t was suggested that a
race to indianapolis or to South Bend
would demonstrate the relative merits
! of the cars.
Mr.. Stewart said Irving Betz was g
mere boy, and that he did not want tc
take the responsibility of entering into
race with him. This is where F. S
| Betz, the instrument manufacturer, en-.
tered upon the scene.
Betz Backs His Son.
Mr.. Betz called up THE TIMES Office
over the telephone this morning, anC
said: 4 want you to say in the papel
that I am backing my boy in this rae,
for any amount that Mr.. Stewart want!
to put up"
That is the way the matter stands
Stewart is ready and willing to race
and from the above conversation so il

to whether they will get together.

had been saturated with chloroform.
An empty bottle bearing the name of
a local druggist lay by her side.
Over the cotton she had placed a
newspaper and over that her jacket.
At the womans side was a bottle of
ether and a box of ninety five morphine
tablets. DR.. Young believes that the
woman is addicted to the use of NOR
phine, but it is believed that she had
the tablets on hand expecting to take
them if the chloroform did not do the
work.
The police tossed the anesthetic aside
and assisted the woman to her feet.
1t appears that the only thing that
saved her life is the fact that in the
struggle that proceeds the lapse into
unconsciousness she managed to get
enough fresh air to prevent her death
sooner.
Case n PitIfuI One.
The case is one of the most pitiful
with which the police have had to deal.
Only a few months ago John Walters
was taken to a little cell in the police
station and there on an iron cot in
the womans room died of delerium
tremens
Mrs. Walters was taken to the police
station and there booked on the charge
of attempting suicide. When they led
her to the same cell in which her hus-
| band died she shrank back from it in
terror and exclaimed, why that is the
same room, the same bed in fact. in
which Johnny died. oh this is ter
rible!'

1t is certain that he is not a Ham

dispatches connect his name with
story to the effect that he was Tilted
at the altar by his bride-to-be. Dill

theexception that Michigan City point

by the name of Roy Snodgrass. and
North Liberty to his brother, Ray. who
is also a Christian minister.

Louis Beensterboer of Kensington
landed the contract for the construc-
tion of the new store and office build
ing of Anton Taper. which is to be
built at the corner Of Holman and Sib-
ley streets in Hammond.
The contract price for the building
will be s46,733 exclusive of the plumb
ing and heating which will cost an
additional $4,000. Mr.. Taper is very
well satisfied with the cost Of the
building, and IT is understood that the
contractor will go a. once to work TO
construct the building IN the hope that
he can win the $1,000 and $4,000 bonus
which Mr.. Taper is expected to put
up for the early competition of the
building.
This is the third job that Mr. Been
sterboer has landed in this city. The
first was the construction of the
building at the corner of Holman
street and Muenich court the second
was the new $4,000 residence of E. c.
Minas, and now he has landed the con-
tract for the Taper block. the largest
of them all.
