US. STEEL
PLANS NEW
STEEL CITY

Pittsburg, June 8.-Another great
steel town is to be built by the United
States Steel corporation II miles above
McKeesport. and "a miles east of Pitts
burg. It will be between the towns of
Wallace and Bunola and will front on
the south bank of the Monogahela river
The site was purchased by the ". o.
Wood company for an open hearth
plant and the establishment of the
town of Woodston. Recently the Wood
company sold 1t to the steel corporation.
and now surveys are being made and
plans drawn for the new steel town.
The corporation officials refuse yet to
make public the details of their plans.

like in every progressive city. We
don't want any more loops established
if we can help it. nor do We want some
of them to use the loop and others fix
their terminus somewhere else in the
city Things should be uniform when
it comes to car lines in the business dis
trict
No, I would not insist on the loop
so strongly that it would act as a bar
to the company" continued DR.. Clark.
Puts the City Above Individual.
Don't you fear that two or three
hundred more or less empty cars pass
ing by your property daily would prob
badly be undesirable, for the proba-
bilities are that most people will get
of on Holman street," DR.. Clark was
asked
1t may be-" he answered. that it
may not be the most desirable thing
to have empty cars run by, but in a
problem of this kind one must look at
it in the light as TO how the whole city
would be benefited. and I am sure it
would be better for the people if they
had one particular place where every
car going in or out could be boarded. :"
It is obvious that such an expression
puts the city above the individual prop
erty owner.

No RELIEF, !,
SAYS THE
|CEMAN
Hammond People Will Sim
ply Have to Grin and Bear
the Iniquitous Boost in
Price of Commodity Over
Last Year.

No relief is in sight for the Ham
mond ice consumer, the two leading
ice companies having decided to keep
up their prices, which are 1913 per
cent higher than last year. The only
possible way in which it might come
would be through a united effort on
the part of the business men to de-
r1and lower rates or organize mutual
ice company. which would put the pro-
duct on the market at cost price, but
this is highly improbable, with the hot
summer season at the door. for by the
time the work would be accomplished
the season would be over, and the sub
ject would be lost sight of during the
winter months. as the expenditure for
ice then is nominal
The nKickerbocker Ice company real
lied this when 1t boosted its price SO
that the Hammond Pure Ice company
had to follow suit. and the officials of
both companies are doing nothing more
than applying soothing words to the
irate consumer, who kicks about the
holdup.

North and South Factions Better

to Say About His Candidacy Now.

Friends of Gary's chief Of police, Jo-

be a candidate for the democratic nom
ination for sheriff of Lake county. The
convention which will make the nom
ination meets late next winter or early
in the spring. In any event the time
is less than nine months away.
The chief himself is neither encour-
aging nor hindering the movement. and
although he maintains absolute silence
on the subject, one of his closest friends
said that the shrievalty constitutes his
present ambition
That the chief has made a popular
and efficient police official admits of
no question. And he has other ass cts
of a political kind which will go a long
way in securing him the democratic
nomination for this important position.
There are several questions involved
in this nomination business, and owing

While Politicians Who Have Been
Over County Say That it Will Go
Wet by at Least sOO-Which is
Right?

Valparaiso, Ind, June 3.-The local
option fight closed last night in Porter
county with two big meetings in this
city despite a heavy rain, which has
been falling since early yesterday aft
ernoon. The "drys" held their meeting
at the Methodist church and this was
addressed by the Rev. Scanlon of Pitts

Yesterday afternoon the temperance
people had a monster parade, in which
nearly 1000 women and children, car
rying flags and banners on which were
printed: Vote for Me. Vote to Save
Our Boys. Vote No for Valparaiso"
The fight has become very exciting
in the past three days and much bitter
feeling has resulted. 1t was predicted
last night that, owing to the heavy
rain, a full vote will be cast today.
Each side had from 100 TO 200 peo-
pie out working in the country yes
terday. All rigs and autos in the coun-
ty were pressed into service and the
was waged with tremendous vigor and
the women assisted the "drys" at the
polls today
In Valparaiso there are three quart
shops" running in the Third ward. In
every ward but this a remonstrance
was filed and all saloons We're shut out
In the Third and city council made the
district in which they were running

STORM is SEVERE
Trees Are Damaged by Last
Nights Storm.

The drizzling rain of yesterday aft
ernoon developed into full-sized storm
last night, and the downpour of rain
and a forty mile an hour wind made
it almost impossible to make any
headway in the storm on foot
So far as can be learned there was
no damage done by the storm and
this morning the clear skies and warm
sunshine made it certain that the storm
had spent its force and had passed
away. Although many trees were
stripped of their branches and foliage.

HAMMOND PROPERTY owner
DISCUSSES LOOP PROPOSITION

The petition which is being circu-
lated in the loop district, asking the
board of public works TO bring the In
diana and Chicago Traction company
over the Red line loop, is said to find
ready signers. No further meetings be-
tween the board and the representa-
tives of the Indiana and Chicago Trac-
ton company have been held since ne
gotiations were practically broken off
last week. In the loop district the sit
uation is quite well understood now
The sentiment there seems to be that
the company should use the loop if it is
in any way possible, but that the board
should not insist on it so strongly that
the company would be barred from the
city entirely
People Have Right Spirit.
If an impromptu statement from DIR.
J. T. Clark owner of the State street
Masonic temple can be taken as an in
dication of the sentiment. the loop peo-
pie are not putting their interests
above those of the whole city.
I am an advocate for the loop route. .

our lines should be centralized in one
portion of the city. There should be

three years he was appointed patrol

Republic Iron and Steel

Especial to THE T1MEs.)

East Chicago. June s.-The strike at
the Republic Iron and Steel company
has begun to assume an alarming as
pect. The developments of yesterday
threaten to cause the complete shut
down of the mill until after the annual
close for repairs, which was due to
take place during the latter part of
July. The conditions on which the mill
will remain open are that the men re-
turn to their posts either today or to-
morrow.
Last night the fires were drawn and
today the mill is as deserted and desc
late as it was during the season of
deepest depression during the recent
hard times.

WORK TO
Be RUSHED
Officials Believe That It Will
Take Twelve Months to
Finish Job.

The United States Steel Corpora
fion has appropriated the sun. of So
10000 for the construction of the $50
coke ovens now being erected in Gary.
This news which has been kept quiet
for the past few days was confirmed
yesterday in the ONCE of Supt. ". P.
Gleason. The appropriating of this
huge sum of money means that work
on the ovens will be rushed to COM
pletion and that when they are finish
ed from 500 to 1900 more men will
be employed in the city.
GRADING BEING DONE.
superintendent Thomas of the yard
department of the Indiana Steel cur
poration now has two hundred mon en-
ployed east of the plant grading and
excavating for the furnaces. This
number will be increased steadily un-
til over a thousand men will be en-
ployed in the construction of the ovens.
The furnaces constructed will be of the
Joliet type.
TO RUSH THE WORK.
BY rushing the work as fast as pos
sibIe the steel corporation believes that
ii will take from twelve TO fifteen
months to complete the work. This
means that they will probably be in
operation a year from next September.
The ovens Will be located about a mile
east of the present plant of the Indiana
Steel COMPANY
BY-PRODUCT USED.
There is still some question, it is
will be operated by the H. H. Fricke
Coke company or by the steel corpora
tion. This will be decided in a short
time.
One of the by-products of the ovens
gas, may be used for the lighting OF
the city or for the operation of the gas
machines in the plant.

Man Who Pleaded Guilty to
Stealing Cash Register
Says No.
CASE HEARD THIS AFTERNOON
Brings Some Grave Charges - Chief
of Police is Involved in Affidavit
But Charges Are Secuted.

John Kemski of Indiana Harbor ap-
peared in the Lake superior court this
afternoon, through his attorney. VIII
liam j. WINERY, and asked that a SEN
tence of from one to seven years. which
Judge Reiter had imposed, be set aside
and that he be given new trial for
the reason that the confession which
he made was secured under duress and
only by threatening him with twenty
to thirty years in the penitentiary un-
less he confessed
Kemsk seems to have a good deal
of evidence TO support his contention
that he is not guilty. He has the af-
fidavits of nine prominent Indiana Har-
Dor foreigners. who say that they have
always known him to be an honest,
truthful man.
Awaiting Commitment.
Kemski's arrest occurred on the 11th
of May and he has been in Crown Point
ever since awaiting commitment to the
peniteutiary TO serve his term
The trouble. according to the com
plant which his attorney has filed, was
caused when Kemski and several other
friends became intoxicated and visited
several saloons in Indiana Harbor
Later the cash register in Lawrence
ing and later was discovered TO have
been taken into the basement and
broken open.
Suspicion rested upon John Kemski
and he was arrested. He was taken
to the police station and sweated. 1t
was there that he confessed to the
theft The police went to his home and
claim they found the $685. in his pock-
ct.
Kemski alleges that Chief of Police
Higgins did not permit him to converse
with his parents. Kemski is only 20
years old, and he believes he told them
that he had already been sent to jail
and that there was no hope of securing &
his release.
Admits He Did Wrong.
Kemski says he knows he did wrong
! in becoming intoxicated and in plead
/ ing guilty when he had no knowledge
/ of the crime but he believes under the
/ circumstances he should have the sen
| tence set aside and be given a new
I trial. He claims that he has always
! been good to his mother, and that he
would have been saved making the CON
fession If the police had allowed him
! to see his father.
Chief Of Police Higgins says that the
prisoner pleaded guilty and that the of
fcers found the money in his overcoat
pocket when they searched the house
The hearing is going on in the Lake
superior court this afternoon. and Chief
! of Police Higgins and a number of the
| friends of the prisoner are present tc
see the outcome of the case.

Chicago Will Go to
Louisville.
INDIANAPOLIS BY MIDNIGHT
Party Expects to Be in Louisville a
Week From Tonight For Grand
Ball
Especial to THE TIMEa)

East Chicago, Ind, June 8. All
roads will lead to Louisville next week
when Mystic Shriners from all over
the country will congregate there in
attendance upon their annual conven-
tion. East chicago and the Calumet
region generally will send representa-
tives to the leading city of the Blue
Grass state, and among those who mi
CRATE from these points, will be two

hcines will bear down toward Indian
apols. The slogan is to be Indian
apolis or Bust" before midnight. On
just how long before the owners of the

modations being limited the party will
sojourn doubtless in New Albany or
some town this side of Louisville, Sun
day night. and possibly spend their
nights during the entire term of the
convention on the hither side of that
city. As a large crowd is expected in
attendance upon the convention, it is
quite likely the hotels will be crowded

A feature Of the convention will be
the parade which will be one of un-
usual interest. and another feature will
be the ball which is scheduled to take
place Thursday evening. The conven-
tion opens Tuesday and lasts three

KICK IS
FATAL TO COLE
Stableman Dies of Injuries
Though Hospital Doctors
Looked for His Recovery.

Although the hospital authorities had
expressed it as their belief that John
Cole, employed as a liveryman by John
McLaren. of Jos Plane street, would
soon recover from injuries received
from the kick of a horse a week ago
yesterday, a sudden relapse, which set
in on Sunday last, proved fatal last
night.
The mar is survived by his mother,
but, as she is out of town, having re-
moved from Newark about a year ago,
the hospital authorities have as yet
peer unable to notify her of her sons
death.
Cole received his injuries while ell an
ing a stall of a fractions horse, when,
with a sudden lunge, the animal
pressed him against the side of the
stall. In squirming his way out Cole
was again hurt, the horse dealing him a
vicious kick in the abdomen.
The sufferer was given immediate
medical treatment. and, although he
was in great pain. his injuries did not
seem to be of a very serious nature.
A relapse set in on Sunday, however
and last night he sank into uncon-
seriousness. from which he never awak-
ened.
