SAFETY GATES NEEDED


Indiana Harbor, Ind, Jan. 23.-Fur-
Their evidences of the utter disregard
OF the Pennsylvania company for the
lives Of residents of Indiana Harbor
have been addueed by Police officer
Weifenbach. who is always on the alert
in the discovery of improper conditions
Officer Weifenbach is very much inter-
ested in the compelling of the Penn
sylvania company to put gates at their
crossings at both Michigan avenue and
Washington street That the toll Of life
for the present year promises to be
unusually large may be easily seen
when it is remembered that three have
already been claimed by the iron mon
sters.
The Pennsylvania company has four
teen trains that meet in opposite di-
rections every day. The statement
seems hard to believe, but a glance
at the Pennsylvania eompany's time
table will be conviction of this belief
At 10 a. m. there is a train going
east and stopping at the Michigan ave-
nue. crossing just as a west bound train
stops at the crossing. The same condi-
ton exists at $3.50 a. m, 1913 .. m,
1:53 p. m, 3:05 p. M, 4:06 p. m. and
$40 p. m. At two of these intersec-
lions, 1913 and 3:o5 school children
are crossing the tracks and the lives
of anywhere from fifty to 100 pupils
are placed in danger.
Everyone knows the danger of these
train crossings. An effort will be made
at the next meeting of the city coun-
Gil to bring the matter TO the atten-
ton of the Pennsylvania company's Of !
fcials. One of the two trains in each |
case should be held by the block sig |
nails at least three blocks from the |
depot. The council will be presented |
with the true facts in the dangerous |
condition and their action will no doubt |
be. as usual, fruitful of the necessary |
results.

TIMES BUREAU
AT STATE CADTTAT

TIMES BUREAU
AT STATE CAPITAL.
Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 23-The
schools of the state came in for a
large share of the attention of the
legislature yesterday. In the first
place house committee consisting of
Representative Mickey, Ratliff, Gard
ner, Askren, Behmeyer, Hill, Galbraith
and Merriman paid a visit to the Girls
school west of the city. yesterday af-
ternoon at the invitation of the super
intendent The legislative party ate
dinner at the institution and there was
a little talk about what the school will
need this year in the way of appropri-
ations.
Then Representative Babcock of La
Grange and Steuben counties intro
duced a bill which he believes will
make the apportionment of school
funds anon gthe counties on a more
equitable basis and at the came time
save money for the state. The bill
proposes to do away with the taking
of school enumerations as it is now
done and to have the records showing
the average actual daily attendance
made the basis for experimenting the
funds. This. he rgues. would be the
proper method for making the distri-
button.
For Change of School Books.
In stating his reasons for the change
Babcock says:
1T places a premium on and en-
ccurages attendance at school
TT will save the state from $4,000
to 100000 annually that is now paid
for taking the school enumeration
1.-The present system of taking the
enumeration is wholly unreliable.
Two bills, each designed to change
the school text books. were introduced
In the senate. One by Senator Cox is
to authorize any school corporation to
select its own text books. The Kane
bill empowers high schools to select
their own teyt books.
BY the terms Of the Cox bill the law
which provides that a uniform system
OF text books shall be used for a per
fod of ten years would be repealed
The books selected by the schools
themselves would be for a period of
not to exceed six years. The bills
went to the committee on education.
It is expected that they will stir up a
great fight, as there is a widespread
sentiment in the state in favor of uni
form text books

ACTIVE BUYING LACKING
No Consistent Improvement
Is Noted in the Iron
Trade.

Cleveland, Jan. 23.-The Iron Trade
Review says: The slow movement of
iron and steel market continues With
some interest the week has been the
best of the new year and specifications
have reached the level prevailing be-
fore the holiday Interruptions, so that
the month of January bids fair to show
no loss of ground. The forward i'm
petus given by active buying, however,
is still lacking.
Many makers are not inclined 10
look with Encouragement upon the
present absence of consistent improve
ment in the market 1t is declared
that the opening weeks of the new
year are not necessarily favorable for
the receipt Of heavy mill orders, as in
ventories having just been taken, there
ers in specifying until the trade prob
abilities of the new period have been
surveyed and policies adjusted in ac-
cordance. A source of satisfaction, it
is pointed out, lies in the fact that
any advance the market made during
the latter part of last year is now be-
ing we'll sustained.
There is considerable shading of
prices in different materials, but this
Is not regarded as significant of par
ticular weakness, as concessions are
not absent, among some makers, even
in more prosperous times. The coke
market has shown the most marked
softness of late, but this has applied
largely to spot material, and is at
tributed to an overproduction, result
ing from the nonfulhllment of the an
ticipation that greater consuming
capacity would be in operation imme-
diately after the first of the year. There
is more or less price cutting in plates
and sheets.

HOUSE COMMITTEE GIVES ITS

! One OF the humorous incidents of the
session was the receipt yesterday by
Senator Bowser of a petition signed by
l25 veterans and widows of veterans

General assembly pass a law which
would grant additional pensions to the

Must Play Ball Now.
Speaker Honan served notice on the
members of the house yesterday that
they will be expected to play ball"
from now on. When the time came to
adjourn until Monday afternoon. Some
member objected, saying that he
thought the members ought to stay
right on the job. He wanted to meet
again today.
There is more to this session than
the mere introductio nof bills" said
Speaker Honan. The main work is
done in committees and l hope that
between now and Monday committees
will get busy and report on their bills.
This is much more important than the
introduction of new bills"
Honan says he is going to try and
prevent a flood of bills in the house.
and that his effort will be to kill off
the unimportant frivolous measures to
save time for something more import
ant.
Bad Bill Killed.
The senate killed a bill by Senator
King, which sought to make binding
all verbal contracts for the sale of
real estate. 1t was meant to give real
estate agents the right to sue for their
commission when the agreement for the
sale was not in writing. but several
senators said they could see In it great
danger of fraud. They said dozen
real estate agents might sue for
commission on the sale of the same
piece Of property. Senator Orndorf of
Whitley and Huntington counties told
of several specific instances where he
had known this to be done.

THE LATIN DUEL.

The Latin world is famous for its de-
votion to the urbanities and cOmities OF
social intercourse. Convention smooths
away the asperities of personal friction
and so throws over deadly animositieS
the veil of decOrum and pOliteness. Inc
duel as social art is one of the trlumphs
of Latin civilization. The AnglO-SaXon6
are much too crude to convert the eX-
change of pistol shots or sword passes
into an exhilarating recreation and
form of pleasure BILE advertisement But
the Latins do it with ease and grace,
thereby demonstrating their better
trained capacity TO take life pictu-
resquely. garnishing its commonplace
ness with the hazards of their safe, sane
and eminently survivable duellO.
The cable dispatches of Wednesday
told of two encounters of this amiable
sort A critic and a playwright faced
each other in Paris, with the usual re-
suits, the encounter being notable, how
ever. for the fact that the playwright,
instead of firing into the tree-tops, as
convention dictates, forgot to fire Mt all.
Two Cuban statesmen discharged piS-
tolls at or toward each other, not once
but twice But neither outraged the
amenities of the performance by wound
ing his antagonist. To wound an op-
ponent, except by obvious accident,
would bring discredit on an institution
of proved value for purposes Of desirabl"
publicity. as we'll as of emotional relief,
and anybody reckless enough to shoot
without due circumspectiOn would make
himself liable to expulsion from the so
ciety of we'll regulated duellists.
We trust that the accounts of those
gentlemanly exhibitions of supposedly
murderous craftsmanship will be widely
read in the United States. There are
too many Americans who still think
that private feuds cannot be ended eX-
Cept by real bloOdshed. Every year men
kill one another here under tragic cir
cumstances which might be entirely
avoided by a careful study of Latin
methods of settling personal grievances.
With proper arrangements cankerlng
hatreds can be dissolved in little inno-
cent pistol smoke
The Latin duel has its artificial and lu-
dicrous side But Americans who carry
pistols and go about with murder in
their hearts have much to learn in self
restraint and human kindness from the
more conventional foreign duellists,
who, if they can only 20 through the
motions of killing, have no desire left
