SUCCUMbS
TO HARB0R
Especial to THE TIMEs.)

Indiana Harbor, Ind, Sept. 19.-Again
yesterday the business men of Indiana
Harbor demonstrated their loyalty to
their baseball team and the interest
they take in healthy, clean sport. About
400 enthusiasts boarded the c., I. & s.
special at L o'clock yesterday after
noon bound for Lowell to see the game
between the Lowells and the Harbor
team.
Long streamers were tackled on the
sides of the cars announcing that the
train was the Indiana Harbor baseball
special" the engine was decorated with
flags, and a band of ten pieces under the
leadership of Hayes of Whiting drew
attention to all the things the Harbor
was doing in a baseball wayy. There
was not a thing that took place during
the day to dampen the spirits of the
Harbor fans. They saw one of the best
games of the season played on almost
a perfect diamond and resulting in a
2to-I victory for Indiana Harbor. The
only criticism the visitors had to make
of their treatment by Lowell people
was the greed displayed by drivers of
vehicles which conveyed the crowd
from North Hayden, where the train
stopped, to the grounds, a distance of
one mile. Manager Woods of Lowell
had assured Manager Sternberg of the
Harbor that the charge would be 25
cents for the round trip and this price
was advertised but when the people
piled off the train and started to get
into the conveyances they were in
formed that it would be so cents for
the round trip. AS result a great
many walked to the grounds rather
than give the drivers the satisfaction
of holding them up.
The game itself was a peach and yes
terday Croake had a big edge on his
veteran slab opponent Irwin. Croake

| every inning but the unlucky sew

TAX LEVY
To Be FIXED
THIS EVE.

1t is not at all improbable that Gary's
city tax levy for the ensuing year at
sI.55, the limit allowed by the law.
This will probably be the recommended
ton of the finance committee when the
common council meets this evening.
Last years leavy was s1.09. which is an
increase of IS cents.
In other words, Gary's assessment this
year approaches the $4,000, 900 mark
and the extra 4e cents levy will mean
that the aldermen will have 5000 more
to spend each month Some of the city
officials think the $4,000 that the city
Will have to run itself with in the next
twelve months won't be enough, and
they are therefore going before the
state board and having the assessment
valuation raised from S12,000000 to
s20,O00.o00. If the state board saw it
that, it would mean that taking IN
county taxes, the steel corporation
would be hit the heaviest and that it
would have to pay about 100000 in adj
dition to what it is already to be taxed

Two Churches Will Hold
Confirmation Exercises
Next Sunday.
Especial to THE TIMES. }

Indiana Harbor. Ind, Sept. 19.-Next
Sunda will be a big day in Catholic cir
cles in Indiana Harbor, as two of the
churches here confirm on that day. St
Patrick's church has a class of about
fifty ready for the sacrament while an
equal number from St Johns Polish
Catholic church will be put through.
Father Thomas Mungoven- and Father
A. Stachowiak. pastors respectively of
St Patrick's and St. John, are already
making preparations for the event.
The children to be confirmed are
about evenly divided, half being boys
and half girls, in each class. All of the
church societies will participate in the
confirmation, marching with the chill

AWAIT The
MEETING
Gary's Councilmanic Gath
ering Tonight Attracting
Much Attention and South
Side Residents May Pre-
sent Petition.

Should the Seventh avenue street car
franchise which would confer upon the
possessors the right to operate street
cars through Jefferson park, the $780,
900 nature spot that the steel corpora
ton stands ready to give to the people
of Gary come UP tonight at the city
council meeting the spectacle will be
most interesting.
If ever Gary's aldermen get fighting
it will be on this proposition which
Alderman Castleman has been working
on to secure the votes of some of the
council members. other business be-
fore the house will be as to what dis
position shall be made of the south end
cement sidewalks which aggregate
thousands of dollars and which stand
ready to fall into the hands of the Cain
and the Gary Construction companies
as the other bidder was knitted out.
There is a possibility that no action
may be taken upon the awards of these
bids tonight as of the prospective as
sessment payers are on the war path
over the contract letting methods. OF
late the assessments have been getting
too high and some of the property hold
ers are demanding an investigation.
Rumor has it that some of the south
end citizens will present to the council
| tonight a petition that is going to cause
some CONSERVATION and which will pre-
| cipitate a sensation of considerable
proportions. It's authors are keeping
Its nature and their purposes under
cover but admit that the council session
tonight vii be worth attending.
Await AIdermnnfc Titles.
With the council meeting a few hours
| away several statesmen in the steel
city, who would adorn the municipal
Legislature, are standing upon one foot
until the council meeting is over. The
reason of their anxiety is due to the
fact that the redistricting ordinance,
creaing a few more wards is liable to
come up. That means that once it is
adopted and the Unpublished for ten days
some new aldermen can be created.
BOrman and CaIdwe1Is
Just now the aspirants are more anx-
ious than bishop awaiting the red hat,
Alderman Castieman wants two more
wards in the south end and one for
Tolleston. His revised council plans
would give the south end six out OF
the ten aldermen. However, a fight
will be made upon this by the first sub
division aldermen who want but one
. ward and two new aldermen. They
, would have that ard in Tolleston and
t the aldermen at large from Gary.
Frank Borman seems to be the demo
cratic choice for Tolleston. Alderman
Castleman is said to be endeavoring tc
secure the selection of Borman, Stanley
Eckert and A. Baukus, the south END
saloonman as the three men for his
slate Won the other hand Aldermen
! Rowley and Bowser will proba bly, agree
on Borman but the chances are tha

Chief of all of these business before

SCHOOLS IN
new RECORD
Comparative Attendance at
East Chicago Schools This
Year Shows Increase of
Over Two Hundred and
Shows Growth of Cities.
Especial to THE TIMEs.)

East Chicago, Sept 19.-The pubic
schools opened last week with the larg
est attendance in their history. The
tables below show that there were 273
more pupils entered school on the first
day this year than on the first day Of
1909 The increase during the week
was 145, while last year it was 205
This is an encouraging feature since it
ST ows that more parents realized the
necessity of having their children start
en- the very first day. There are yet
many children entering and the enroll
ment will likely exceed 1000 for the
first month. Parents should realize the
necessity for getting the children in at
once. Each days delay puts the pupil
just so much behind his or her class.
Experience shows that the great ma
jorit yof pupils who fail to make prop
er progress in the schools. are irregu-
lar in their attendance.
Ample provision has been made by
the board of education for the increased
numbers The addition to the McKin-
ley school relieves the situation on the
East Chicago side. 1t is necessary for
all north side pupils above Alb grade
and all Wallace and Stiglitb above the
ga grade to &c to the Mckinley. The
superintendent has even found it ne
cessary to transfer several Alb boys who
live south of One Hundred and Forty
fourth street from the Harrison to the
Nc Kfnley.
The renting of a room on Alexander
avenue enables the board of education
| to provide for all Oklahoma pupils up
to the fifth grade.

ton it will be necessary to change the

in order to take care of the smaller
children in the Lincoln. This is prac-
tically the same condition that exists
on the East Chicago side.

TWO DEATHS PUZZLE
THE AUTHORITIES
Coroner May Call Inquiry
Because of Two New
Cases in Gary.

Deaths of two persons who resided in
the same house at practically the same
time and from apparently the same
vestigation. The place where both live
is 1896 Adams street. Saturday after
noon Mrs. Andreas Schlessinger, &c
years old passed away and fourteen
hours later, yesterday morning, John
Krapt, 21 years old, who made his home
with the Schlessingers died.
She PASSES Away in Home.
Both had been i'll but three days and
hemorrhages are said TO have been the
cause of the death of the man and the
woman.
Mrs. Schlessinger, whose firset name
is Mary. had been sick three days and
her death is given in the official report
as being caused by brain paralysis She
died in her home.
He Dies In Mercy Hospital
Just about the time Mrs. Schlessinger
was dying, young Krapt became very i'll
and was accordingly removed to the
Mercy hospital late in the afternoon.
He died earl yesterday morning pre-
sumably from bleeding in the stomach,
or gastric ulcers, as the hospital au-
thorities put it, Krapt had been room
ing with the SchIessingers for some
time.

Gary Hears Report That
Steel Mills Are to Close
Down Within Few Weeks,
But There Is No Credence
to Be Placed in Story.

Constant rumors have been heard
not only in Gary but in Chicago that
over 1000 men have been laid off at
the local steel plant. Another wild
rumor was hea I'd on the street yester-
day that the entire plant would be
closed down within a few weeks and
only a few departments such as was
absolutely necessary would be kept in
operation AS far as authenticy of the
reports are concerned, they are not
even to be considered The last pay
rool of the steel company showed a
slight increase over the proceeding one.
No Let Up in Construction.
Is it true that in several departments
the operations have been reduced and
a number of men have been laid off but
they have been given the privilege of
working on the construction forces and
but few men have left Gary. Work
is being rushed as fast possible on
the plants of the American Sheet and
Tinplate Company and American Bridge
Company and every indication points
to the fact that construction will con-
tinue IS long as the weather will per-
NIT.

ing Judge Gary gave most encourag ing
reports. The Chicago Record Herald
said
Judge Gary, always optimist,
finds considerable encouragement for
the iron and steel trade even in the
present situation. The Steel Corpora
tion," he says, has orders its books
sufficient to keep the mills goig from

believe that the last six months this
year will be fully as good as the first
six were.
Not AS Bad As Reported.
Much has been made in the stock
makret gossip of the fact that some OF
the principal plants of the steel cor
poration have reduced their operating
forces. 1t is fact, of course, thai
such mills have not had orders tc
