Burnham. Ills. Aug. 15.-After trip
through New England partly in the
interests of the Burnham Commercial
Club. c.. NJ. Nichols has returned to
Burnham. While away he also visited
New York City and opened negotia-
tions for a Carnegie Library for that
town comfort and advantages which
the enormous funds furnished 1t. by
the railroad taxes will permit.
Mr.. Nichols accordingly visited some
of the most attractive towns in Massa-
chusetts and Connecticut to learn how
their almost perfect roads were con-
structed and kept in such good order.
He was astonished to find how little
money was required to maintain the
attractiveness of such superbly beauti-
full towns as Williamstown and Am
herst.
Regarding what he observed on the
trip. Mr.. Nichols said: las every one
is the most finished beauty spot on the
continent. Its lovliness seems to be
secured more by the exercise OF
thought care and good taste combined
with the intelligent application of the
little money actually expended than
the use OF vast funds. Every citizen
then takes a deep interest in the ap-
pearance of his home town."
Such features as hedge here and
there, a rambler rose bush, Colorado
blue spruce, a Boston ivy. well trim
med awns. neat alleys. and smooth
roads. makes a difference between the
almost perfect New, England village
and the more unfinished western pro-
duct.
All of these things can be obtained
out OF the money raised by taxes in
most any western town. Burnham is
acquiring some of these good things
today and will acquire many others
before the year is over.
Good taste. intelligent care and at
tention, and only little money are
are the requisites. Burnham is more
fortunate in this latter regard. She
holds a strategic position between
South Chicago and Hammond. All the

HOLOUP
MEN ARE
ROUNDED Up
(Snecial to THE TIMEs.)

East chicago, August 13.-Of1cer
David Daniels figured in an exciting
chase last night in an attempt to
capture three individuals who came
from Gibson evidently with the pur-
pose of holding up people. They were
under the influence of liquor and at
Forsythe avenue they beat up a young
fellow who was stationed there as
watchman for a contractor who was
laying house connections. Two work
men who came along were the next
victims but they made their escape be-
fore the trio could reach them, not
however before several shots were
fired. The shots took no effect.
officer Daniels would have rounded
them up. but he cut across between
15oth and 151st street. He fired sew
eral shots at them none of them taking
effect. He gave chase on foot and in
the meantime the toughs attempted to
work around to his buggy to get away
with it. They finally got away from
him and no trace could be found of
them today.

children but the youngster in the baby
cab succeeded in getting out of the
ay. The horse then took to the side
walk on the opposite side of the street,
sending the youngsters scurrying in
ever direction. A chicken coop on the
walk finally brought the rig up short
and this gave Stonebreaker a chance
to come up and claim his property.
Three fremen had given chase, but had
abandoned the effort as q bad job. and
Captain Mariner he saw the rig dash
by, jumped into the police buggy,
bringing up right behind the rig as 1t
go tangled with the chicken coop.

JUDGE PINS FAITH
TO WHITE SOX
But He Loses Five Dollar
William Just the Same;
Hence These Tears.

Judge Homer Ansley of Gary and In
diana Harbor is on the war path and
as a result he may not attend any
baseball games for a few weeks. Not
a day that the White Sox have been in
Chicago has the judge missed a game
but now streaks of discomfort adorn
his alabaster brow.
He Gets Short-changed.
1t is not thus because of the high or
low position of the Chicago players but
because the Gary fan was hort-chang-
ed Thursday when he went in to see
thrilling game.
From the STORY told by a less excit-
able person. the Judge threw down a
five dollar bill and ordered the ticket
man to give him a rs cent seat. He
got the ticket but so absorbed was he
that he forgot to take the change.
He did not discover his shortage un-
til yesterday afternoon when he
searched about for some small change
to pay his laundry bill. Then and there
the Judge came to and indignant
was he that he pened a missive that is
a classic to President Comiskey.
The judge state that he was not com
planning that the game cost him five
dollars Its well worth that" so the
Judge dictated TO his stenograher,
And if my five dollars went for the
benefit of the team it's all right but if
it didn't why then I am sorry that 1
have lost those high and earnest opin-
ions that I have maintained of the Sox.
They are now cast into the seas of
dependency. Mr.. Ansley is now pa
tiently awaiting the return of the
s425.

KIRK SHOPS GET
THREE MORE ENGINES
Will Run on E., J. & E. Be
tween Gary and Joliet
in Future.

Three more monster locomotives of
the road engine type were received
yesterday afternoon a. the Kirk shops
of the Elgin, Joliet and Eastern rail-
way. These iron steeds are to be added
to the local traffic forces and will be
used between Gary and Joliet. They
were built by the American Locomotive
company of Patterson N. ].
A few months ago seventeen Iocomo-
tives costing more than a quarter of a
million dollars were added to the local
shops. Part of them were for yard
service and they were assigned to the
steel plant. the new tin plate mills and
the bridge plant
There are twenty more locomotives
ordered being part of a total order.
Those destined for the yard service
will be attached to the local plants.

NEGOTIATIONS ARE OPENED FOR
CARNEGIE LIBRARY At BURNHAn

railroads and some of the trolley lines
passing east from Chicago go through
that village and pay their tribute to it.
The taxes thus raised give abundant
funds for good road building and other
attractive features. And the Burnham
Commercial Club. together with the
Board of Trustees OF the village. are
seeing to 1t that this construction work
has the greatest consideration.
Mr.. Nichols added that In his opin-
ion there was not the slightest excuse
for the man who works with his hands
either in Burnham or elsewhere not
having the good things of life which
make home attractive. The mechanic
comes home from his work tired cover
. ed with dirt and grind and If the home
is an attractive one. perhaps with
vines running over it. a rose bush in
the yard. and good walks leading up
to II, he finds that life is really worth
living.
One thing the Burnham Commercial
Club is determined to do is to have
their town perfectly shaded. Only
last week it offered prize to the
readers of this paper for the best ar
ticle on the most satisfactory shade
trees to plant. BY that means 1t hopes
: to get much Information which will
enable them to judge wisely what is
! best for the village.
Any town in the Calumet region can
do what Burnham is doing. though per-
haps to a lesser degree. They all have
resources sufficient to enable them to
make a better showing in the way of
attractiveness and beauty. 1t all re-
solves itself down to this, Mr.. Nichols
says:
Shall we let incompetent. politicians
dissipate our municipal funds, or shall
we give the taxpayer the worth of his
money and a fair deal all around"
| Since his return from the east Mr..
Nichols has been getting into shape
his fifty one-half acre tracts for the
market. laying stone walks, grading
the streets, etc. for those me-seekers
who desire a garden in which to raise
their own green stuff or on which to
conduct a poultry farm.

BROADWAY
ALWAYS TO
Be FIRST
First Street Will Never
Rival Broadway as Bust
ness Street Is Consensus
of Opinion; Fifth Ave. to
Be Business Artery.

Ever since Gary was placed on the
map and Broadway, 100 feet wide, run
ming north and south, was designated
as her principal thoroughfare, many
prophets have arisen who have peered
into the future and tried to locate a
greater Broadway west of the present
street. ONE would have Clark road as
the most imposing thoroughfare in
Indiana while others have seen brill
liant future in First street. one of the
avenues in the Toleston district which
is shortly to be extended north through
the second subdivision north to Fifth
avenue.
No Rival of Brondway.
No matter what Importance First
street assumed as a business street In
Tolleston 1T will never rival Broadway
as a commercial highway This street
lies on the section line just one mile
west OF Broadway.
First avenue Is now in use in Tolles-
ton and the United States Steel corpo-
ration is now preparing to open its
northward through the new second
subdivision. When the announcement
was made that the street would be ex-
tended to Fifth avenue it was also stat
ed that the stree would be made ar
eighty foot thoroughfare.
VIII BE For Homes.
This lead many people to believe thai
the corporation intended to make it g
business street but such will not be
the case. 1t is to be a residential
avenue and there has been a report In
circulation that 1T will be the boule-
ward of the west end. However, this
part of Ii cannot be confirmed but one
thing is certain and that is-that the
north end of First street will never BIZ
a business street.
To Emphasize Fifth Avenue.
In the west end of the city the stee
corporation intends to emphasize Fiftf
avenue, which is eighty feet wide, II
every way possible. 1t is to be the
great east and west artery in the stee
city and is to rank along with Broad
way. There will be other NORTH
and south business streets laid out IL
the new subdivision.
Fifth avenue property is entirely of
the market now as is the Broadwa,
land in the first subdivision. Their,
will be more lots sold by the stee
corporation on these two streets unit
another year has passed.

PATRONAGE
SYSTEM GETS
BODY BLOW
Mackalusa, Labor Agent,
Afraid to Come to Gary;
Foreigners Unshackled by
Times Expose; Further
Developments Expected.

That hundreds of foreigners employ
ed in E., J. and E. railroad yards, the
Indiana Steel company and at Griffith,
aare no longer suffering from the al
legged patronage system of Joe
Macalusa at the head of the Italian
labor agency in Chicago is conclusive
and that the expose of the gigantic
fraud as published in THE TIMEsof July
30th has emancipated hundreds of
foreigners from the shackles of extor-
ton that bound them.
Macalusa has lost completely out in
Gary. Since the story appeared in THE
TIMES he has not been able to furnish
single laborer in Gary according to
the labor agent himself. Foreigners
whom he at one time held in the
clutches of his hand are no longer COM
PEELED to pay their monthly fee. The
steel company have been Investigating
the conditions at the Kirk yards and in
the mills and sensational developments
are expected TO take place.
Macalusa has said that he would
come to Gary and clear himself of the
charges. SO far he has not put in an
appea rance. So deep laid were his
plans that the local authorities claim
they can not lay their hands on him
In Chicago.
Warrants are out for his arrest and
should he come to Gary he will be APP
pretended at a moments notice
IF the workings of the patronage
system has stopped at the steel mills
THE TIMES is to be congratulated said
Mayor T. E. Knots in talking to a
TIMES reporter yesterday. Il read THE
TIMES story carefully on July 80 and
did not find a word that was not true
The conditions at the mills were ever
worse than it was depicted in your
story. Macalusa is one of the biggest
scoundels in the country and the
moment he sets his foot in Gary he viii
ferred against him. We have the evi-
dence which will land Macalusa in the
penitentiary.
According to the Illinois state En-
| ployment laws a labor agent has {
right to tax a fee of $500 for each stu
alton they. secure, but 1t does not give
| the agent the power to make monthly
| collections. When a foreigner wishe:

or in the steel mills he is at once sen

with a quantity of whiskey.
This morning the pocket book con-
tanning only the two checks which
had been paid out at the Emlyn mills

Indiana Harbor. Aug. ia run
away that was fraught with more in
cidents than has characterized a SINH
lar occurrence for many a day, took
place in Indiana Harbor yesterday,
when a horse belonging to Arnold
Stonebreaker a farmer living near
Grifflth. took fright at a train, broke
its halter and started out in search of
some tall timber
Dobbin. before he was finally captur-
ed, succeeded in overturning a sulky,
a grocery wagon, a chicken coop and
a baby cab in the last of which was
thirteen months old baby. Every
thing that the wagon contained was
bounced out excepting a little black
dog who sat on the seat as though
nothing was happening out of the
ordinary, shifting the atsmosphere and
calml. taking notice.
Had Everything His Own Way.
The runaway had everybody who
lived or had business in the section
through which 1t passed, like a streak
of lightning, out watching 1t, with the
fire department and the police in hot
pursuit. 1t required a chicken coop on
a sidewalk in Deodar street to finally
check the speed Of the horse When
the wheels of the wagon got tangled
up in the stats of this, there was moth
| ing further doing in the runaway line
Captain Mariner who started GU in
the police buggy after the runaway

that he had better show up in the po-

paid for the examination and was sem
on his way rejoicing that nothing more
serious had resulted.
