DIDN'T APPRECIATE BATHTUBs
So These Workmen Will Be Deprived
Of Luxuries.


OF Luxuries.
CHICAGO.-No more bathtubs will
be installed in the houses to be built
for the foreign workmen employed by
the various subsidiary companies of
the United States Steel Corporation
at Gary. Ind.
When an architect made application
for building permit in behalf OF the
company, which intends to erect a
score OF concrete houses, it was no.
ticed that the plans called for all mod
ern conveniences, with the exception
of the bathtubs.
Three years ago." said a Steel Cor
poration official, I'VE erected sixty
well appointed houses for foreign
workmen and their families and placed
bathtubs in each one. A year later a
report was wanted from New York as
to how they were taking to the tubs.
An inspection revealed the fact that
not in one instance was bathtub ever
used. We found that they were being
utilized for coal bins, and such pur-
poses, so we decided that it was best
to omit the tubs

u S. BUYS COAL BY "HEAT UNIT"
Government No Longer Contracts For
Fuel BY the Ton.

Government No Longer Contracts For
Fuel BY the Ton.
WASHINGTON.-U Sam in one
instance at least has adopted plan
whereby he gives all fair chance to
compete and still guarantees satisfac-
ton. This guarantee is given to the
coal dealers OF the country who bid
annually for government contracts. No
longer does the government buy its
coal by the ton but it has adopted
another measure-that of the heat
unit By this plan, an official of the
Bureau of Mines says, the government
gets what it pays for and pays for
what it gets.
All coal for consumption by the
government is purchased now under
specifications. These specifications
call for SO many units of heat to the
ton and statement of the quantity
of ash left after the coal is consumed.
Samples are sent by the coal dealers
to the bureau where they are tested.
The poorer coal finds market by
competing with better grades, not as
TO the price per ton but as to the cost
Of an equal number of heat units.
The value of coal is indicated by
the number of heat units it contains.
This heating value is expressed in
terms of British thermal units, per
pound of coal. and is determined by
a special apparatus at the bureal called
a calorimeter. The samples submitted
by the bidders are all treated alike and
the successful bidder is the one whose
coal comes closest to the required
qualifications.

MAN BEHIND BARS
FOR HORSE STEALING
JACK GEBHART HELD
TO ANSWER CHARGE
Alleged to Have Borrowed Horse and
Sold It-Officers Think They Can
Fasten Other Grimes Upon Him
Also.

Jack Gebhart, a we'll known char
acter who lives upon the reservation,
is now languishing in Jail with a
charge Of horsestealing booked against
him. At this time he is accused of
having stolen one horse and the Off
GERS think it probable they will be
able to fasten still another crime up
on him.
The first horse Gebhart is accused
of having taken was the property of
Madeline Perry. Gebhart borrowed
the horse, according to the story, rode
il to town and then sold the animal,
all of this being directly contrary to
the wishes of the owner. For this
offence Gebhart is being held to ap-
pear before Justice of the Peace Joe
Fl. Parkes.
Shortly after the transaction with
Mrs. Perry's horse Gebhart rode an
other horse into town and sold it, as
we'll as a saddle he was using. 1t is
the theory of the officers that this
horse too may have been borrowed
by the man now in Jail. The horse
is cream colored animal and would
weigh about 1850 pounds if fat. 1t is
not in good condition at this time
The animal is branded with a bal
above a square.

enlarging the present naval

gram.
In 1918 the triple alliance will come
to an end and although 1t is official
ly affirmed that it will be renewed
many facts point to a possible disso-
luton. That Austria is getting ready
and that Italy is striving hard to meet
her on an equal footing is more than
clear.
Since Austria annexed Bosnia and
! made plain her aspirations in the
Balkan states Italy has been engaged
on a naval military program, the size
of which hs taxed all the resources of
her treasury. The construction Of
three Dreadnoughts was Immediately
decided on and five hundred millions
were voted to be spent on new forti-
fications on Italy's eastern frontiers
and the renewal of her war material
On the other hand the utmost Sc
crecy has been kept about the Aus
trian military program and it was
discovered that their ally was quietly
preparing to outdo them, even on the
sea.
1t is well-known fact that in 1908,
upon the annexation of the two prov
inces. war was only averted because
of the strong opposition of the old
Austrian emperor. The present heir
to the throne, Archduke Ferdinand
made no secret of his aversion to Italy
and the death of the emperor may
mean war even before 1913.

arc in the heavens, and shot to the
earth leaving a tail of blush fire ap-
parently about four feet long in its
wake.
A party of friends who were in the
house accompanied Mr. Anhauser to
the spot where the object fell, and
found an irregular shaped, heavy
piece of metal and stone about three
inches in diameter imbedded in the
ground The object was dug up and
