TINES "AD"
SELLS MUCH
REAL ESTATE

The scramble for the few remaining
lots in Homewood is on. The first day
that the lots were placed on the mar
ket Gostlin, Meyn & Co sold sixteen
of them. This is the result of the ad
which was placed in THE TIMES on
Wednesday. At that time it was the
only ad Of the lots in print.
This is remarkable, and yet it is ex-
pected that this is only the beginning
Of the scramble that will take place
before the addition is finally sold out
The restricted nature Of the sub-di-
vision makes It certain that there will
be great increase in values. and the
faster the lots are sold the greater will
be the demand.
The opportunity to live in Homewood
Is being taken up by a large number

the idea of getting better prices later

SETTLES It

The case Of Mrs. Augusta Steinkrause.
who had trouble with a man bv the
name Of Miller with whom she was liv-

through the Intervention of Judge
Frank Green of West Hammond.
Mrs. Steinkrause and Mr.. Miller be-
came involved in family row and
were both arrested. The judge tried
to get them both TO agree and they re
fused He then applied little Solo

To Secure n Conviction.
Judge Mcmahon says that he will
press every count against the Gary men
and that he believes the prosecuting
attorney will back him up in his de-
termination to make such an example
of these two men that 1t will be a
warning to others.
While it is known that Rogers is
still in Gary, and is likely soon TO be
arrested. 1t is understood that William
McCarren. who IS said to be the son
Of an eastern state senator. has left
for Iowa and will have to be arrested
there and extradited If he is brought to
justice.
1t was thought yesterday that Thos.
Wilhelm had got cold feet and would
not appear in Hammond against the
Rogers and McCarren crowd, but it de-
veloped that his failure to appear was
due to the fact that he misunderstood
the hour of the appointment.
He was expected to appear before
Judge William w. Mcmahon at IL a. M.
and instead he did not show UP until l
o'clock in the afternoon. The affda-
Wits were then signed by him and the

It was suggested that the plant

Move Long Contemplated.
This move on the part of the steel
car manufacturers in the vicinity of
Pittsburg to leave the east and locate
their plants more nearly in the center
OF the United States market has long
been regarded as inevitable and it is
believed that it is hastened only by the
insufferable labor conditions that now
exist in the vicinity of Pittsburg.
1t is understood that ground has al
ready been purchased in the vicinity Of
Pittsburg for the erection of a new
plant by the Pressed Steel Car com
pany and the announcement of the
plans was about to be made when the
5000 employees of the plant went on
strike.
When the attitude of the public and
the press became so hostile it was
quickly decided to move the plant west
where labor troubles are rare.
May Be Only a Bluff.
Chicago paper says: 1T is the first
time in history that the millionaire
employers at Pittsburg have been criti-
cised and President Hoffstot and his
business associates did not like the
steady public reference to his mills as
the slaughter house or the last
and the taking up of his work
ingmen by the public through bread
funds Today there was not one work
ing man in tht great plants, according
to the strikers"
The conservative Hammond business
men are. however, not taking the ru-
mored location of these plants too
seriously. It has been suggested that
the Pressed Steel Car company may
be taking this means of aIlaying pub
lie criticism in the vicinity of Pitts
