HOTEL ACCOMMODATIONS ARE
BADLY NEEDED IN GARY

More hotel Accommodations are needed
in Gary. Last night there was not a
vacant room in any Of the steel city's
numerous hostelries. This state of
affairs has been keeping up for a
month and the congestion increases
daily.
Sleep In The Open.
By eleven o'clock the last room in
the Gary hotel was booked Shortly
afterwards some late arrivals had to
be content with the cots in Manager
Sommers office. And, two other
gentlemen who tramped the town look
in for rooms finally settled down weari-
ed and tired out in the verandah
chairs outside one of the hotels They
could find no rooms. AS the weather
was tropical light they rested just the
same
However, the incident serves to Illus
trate that there are some fat dividends
in sight if the hotel facilities are in
creased. During the past month the
Management OF the Victoria has fire.
quently been Obliged to send late ar
rsZals out to nearby rooming houses
where there CHANGED to be a vacant bed
Not A Vacant Room.
In the rooming houses the same con
dition prevails. Probably in all Gary
there is not a fat or a residence that
does not have from one to a dozen
roonaers. High rentals are comm Ia nd ed
and those families who would other
wise want privacy cannot forego the
temptation TO let the roomers pay their
rent or the monthly installments on
the homes hey are buying.
Supervisor of the Census Francis
Doran of Michigan City was not far
from the mark when he reported to the
Washington census authorities that
The Lake County times. [volume] (Hammond, Ind.) 1906-1933, 1910-06-21

j most of the beds in Gary were never
cold year In and year out. This is
especially true in the foreign quarters
where the double shift rule has always
prevailed.
Gary is growing rapidly and in an
other month the rooming congestion
problem will be far greater than it is
now. AS the thing now stands hun
dreds of families have to live in sur
rounding towns. Within short while
there will be no rooms even for the
roomers. Daily additions are being
made to the steel plant forces and up
wards of 1000 men are employed there
The construction forces at the coke
ovens. the bridge plant and the sheet
steel and tinplate mills are added to
daily with promises of greater in
creases day by day as the time goes
on. Where the 1000 more workmen
who will be added to Gary's popula-
ton within the next six days. are going
to be lodged remains an unsolved
problem.
Congestion Too Great Already.
The Central Building company which
owns the Victoria hotel has found the
proposition paying venture ever since
it was established. OF late it has had
no empty rooms and week ago it an
nOunced tnat II would add two more
stories to the present building and
build on a vacant square of property on
Seventh avenue the six story Victoria
annex
Opportunities for hotels and rooming
houses were never so bright in Gary
Also, no one hears of the restaurant
proprietors or boarding house keepers
complaining. They are making money
| If a half dozen hotels and rooming
houses are added to the city they win
prove to be a gilt-edged investment

wards held under heavy bonds At
their trial they were released Judge
Knots deciding that there was not
sufficient evidence to warrant them be-
ing bound over to the superior court
Make Confession.
The three murderers returned to
Gary yesterday. In their confession
last night they stated that they re-
manned in Gary a week and then sepa-
rated for Chicago, and Cincinnati
They each told the story of how on
ed a dance on the south side and were
returning to their home when at Rhode
Island street and Sixth avenue they
met Mcdonald and Mullen. When the
foreigners asked Mullen where he was
going they were told it was none of
their business and a fight started The
men testified to having picked up a
rock and struck Mullen over the head
while another slashed him with a
knife
The testimony of Mcdonald in court
corroborates the Confession last night
Mcdonald told practically the same
story and said they had been attacked
by three foreigners and when he saw
that Mullen and himself were getting
the worst of it he ran away to secure
help. Mackey was some distance be-
hind with another companion when the
murder was committed.
The men will have their preliminary
hearing tomorrow morning

1t was then that the fierce chase began.
Travelling in a circuftous direction it
was not long before the determined
officers began to gain on the fugitives.
Brasiak was seen to tire in running
through the deep sand and he soon

officers The man was left in charge
of Officer Juric and Chief Martin and
the two remaining officers continued
in pursuit of the men until tired and
exhausted they finally gave up and
were brought % the police station
Suspects Were Arrested.
It will De remembered that Peter
Mullen the blast furnace foreman was
murdered on the night of May 18th.
He was found lying in pool of blood
his head beaten to pulp with bloody
rock which was found nearby. Across
his abdomen were three deep cuts A

him were arrested and were after

will go certain foremen and skilled

Takes Away Flood Waters.
The promoters of the Burns Ditch
project do not intend to divert the en-
tire flow of the Little Calumet river
and the farmers who reside along
this stream could not claim that they
would be deprived of the use of the
river for watering stock or for carry
ing off sewage.
Only the flood waters of the Little
Calumet river are to be carried off and
the normal flow of the river will take
its old course. It is very probable
however that the project will be delay
ed by the railroads as long as possible
and it is expected that. on one excuse
or another temporary restraining
order will be secured in the federal
courts restraining the building Of the
ditch.
On the final hearing. however. the
promoters of the Burns ditch are con-
fident that they will be able to show
that no damage will be done the farm
ers along the course of the river by the
diversion of the food waters into the
Burns ditch.
