WEATHER
GIVES HELP
TO BUSINESS

The moderation in the weather is
generally acceptable. in that it permits
a business reaction. The intense cold
of the past six weeks or two months
has had the effect of putting a stop
to certain lines of activity. The build
ing. business has been paralyzed by the
cold and there are numerous other lines
of business that have been affected
couple Of months ago the merch-
ants were praying for cold weather as
an aid to business. and now they are
praying for a respite from the cold as
an aid to business.
The warmer weather will have the
effect of aiding in the movement OF

John w Alvord of Chicago, the en-
gineer who designed the Gary water
supply and sewage system. appeared be-
fore the Gary council Hast night and
urged that steps be taken to prepare for
the installation of the publication beds
which will be necessary when the town
becomes larger. He thought it advis-
able to purchase the necessary property
at the present time.
Before entering into his recommen-
dations, Engineer Alvord explained how
the Gary sewer system was constructed
like a tree with all its branches and
twgs. The idea of the sewer system
was to keep the lake free from all
sewage and to drain the city so that
it will in no manner contaminate the
city's water supply, directly or indi-
rectly.
At present the flow of water in the
sewers is north into the Grand Calu-
met river. where the water has been
found to be too stagnant and too d.
rectly connected with the lake to per-
nit the drainage to go into this stream.
The idea of having the flower north
ward when it is eventually expected to
have it go south to the publication beds
| is so that the surface water after each
rain can be diverted to that outlet
When the dry sewage can be pumped
| south by pumping station, which
would have been found necessary In
any event. In the opinion of the en-
gineer, however. that the sewage sys-
tenn in Gary has been constructed far
enough with the reversed flow of wa
ter and that it is time to turn the flow

Mr.. Alvord also thought that it would

in the kitchen chimney and but for
the timely arrival of the department
several houses in the neighborhood
were in danger, as sparks from the
chimney had started fire to the roof.
Last night about o'clock, shack
belonging to a foreigner was damaged
by fire on Adams street. between Thir-
teenth and Fourteenths avenues
The department was called about
o'clock this morning to 2257 Adams
street to put out a fire in a shed, which
was being used for a smoke house.
Part of the building was damaged and
as a result the owner will feed on roast
pork for some time to come.

Never Never Again !!

Never again swore John Newcomb in
the city court this noon when he was
arraigned on the charge of being drunk.
He was fined 81 and costs by Judge

control of the situation. One of the
prisoners was so refractory that it was
necessary TO tie him with a rope.
1t seems that there had been bad
blood between Solans men and the
Greeks. To get at the formers chick
en- coop and rob it evidently seemed to
the Greeks with Theodore Tsoudis as
their leader to be the best way to get
revenge. But Tsoudis is said to have
been caught redhanded and Solan and
his men soon yanked Tsoudis from the
chicken coop TO their private apart
ments. With one rooster under his arm
Tsoudis put up a game struggle. but
was finally overcome by the larger
number In the meantime his friends
had appeared on the scene. Company
house 157 became a fortress in which
Solan and his men were CHARTERED with
prisoner while the enemy from
company house 156 made the attack.
Windows Are Smashed.
They had no cannon or howitzer
SO they used whatever came nearest to
hand and fired it at the Solan apart
ment. long-handled natchet did good
service to break up the window panes
and frames but this was slow work
somebody just heaved a bench
through the window. Beer bottles
which had been emptied during the
days of celebration and which lay about
also formed good missiles and every
one was good for at least one window
pane. Finally the beleaguered forces
and the besiegers got together and they
mixed in a hand-to-hand battle which
was fierce. Hard fists resounded on
hard pates and sweat began rolling
down their grimy features before the
battle was half over. Other occupants
of the building who were attracted by
the noise stood around in groups and
looked as the battle was carried
from one room to another.
Medical Attention Needed.
Finally the officers arrived on the
scene and brought some order into the
shambles. When the noses were count
ed all Were found alive, but some of the
warriors wee much the worse for the
scrap. Theo1o~a Tsoudis, one of the
prisoners. needed .aedical attention.

the city to procure Immediately. In his
opinion Gary will need the plant in

inhabitants, which he thought would be
in the near future.
The means of Gary's sewage disposal
will be by a publication process widely
adopted in England. but which as yet
is little known in America" said Mr..
Alvord The process is to separate the
liquid from the solid water first and
then dispose of the substance after

is purified by spray over a bed of

water then filters through the sand into
the drains where it runs off pure

solids are dissolved into gases which
are entirely inoffensive. They are best

harmless and can scarcely be noticed
The entire plant is entirely inoffensive.

made. The publication beds is the mar

in common. / would suggest that a
sanitary commission for this region be
selected that they may be able to
study the situation impartially and as
