NO TRACE FOUND
OF MISSING BODY
Dynamite Exploded to Raise
Remains of Joe Wataro
To the Surface.
COMPANION NERVOUS WRECK
Sam Mantarno's Mind Is A Complete
Wreck As Result of The
Drowning.
COMPANION NERVOUS wreck

After searching the waters of Lake
Michigan and the shore line for miles
around yesterday the police of the IN
ad the local force failed to find any
trace of the body of Joe Wataro the
Italian who was drowned last Satur-
day night.
Several heavy charges of dynamite
were exploded in an effort to bring the
body to the surface of the water. 1t is
the opinion of the police that the body
may not be found for several weeks
and may have drifted by this time as
far as Miller station.
In several different instances the
bodies of persons drowned in South
Chicago have been found near Gary
several days later and the police do not
think they will be able to find Wataro's
remains for several weeks
panion of Wataro's at the time of the
drowning is a nervous wreck He is
now under the care of a physician in a
box car wheer he lives near the works
of the American Tinplate company.
Martarna's mind is a complete blank
and his fellow country men are watch
ing him closely fearing that he will
take his life as he has acted very
strangely since the time of the drown
ing.
The police will continue to patrol the
beach for several days in an effort to
find the body of Wataro.

make the cost to each of the boys a
great deal less than it would otherwise
have been.

local boys wi go. 1t is aso expect ed

COMPANY
IS H0GG|SH.
For Strengthening
Out of North Holman st.
Killed BY Attitude of I. j.
& E.-Work On Holman
Street Soon To Begin.

The strengthening of North Holman
street at the bridge is out of the ques-
tion. Fearing litigation which would
not only delay the building of the
bridge, but which would also make
the city liable to the contractors for
the delay, the project had to be
dropped.
Adam z. Ebert. president of the
board of public works, and Carl Bauer,
of the Simplex, conferred with the of
hcials of the E. J. & E. yesterday aft
ernoon and were given to understand
that the company would fight any at
tempt condemn strip of land north of
the river belonging to the railroad
company to the last ditch.
Under the agreement with the bridge
contractors, the bridge must be COM
pleted within nine months. and it ap-
pears readily that the contractors have
not a day to lose. 1t is expected that
the first Material for the building of
the bridge will arrive today or tomor-.
row Most of the material will be haul
ed on scows from Chicago on the
Grand Calumet river.
Must Have Temporary Bridge.
When the county commissioners let

iOi1 dS 1I14uS lOI Il temporary SIruC-
ture, this being matter for the city.
The board of public works expected the
contractors out this afternoon to take
up this matter. The board took the
position that the street car company
should pay at least part of the expense
of the temporary structure but there
was very much doubt as TO whether
the corporation could open its heart
to this extent
This morning the board did not know
whether the temporary structure would
be for pedestrian only, or for vehicles
also. The officials of the E., j. E. rail-
road have assured the city officials
that they could use all the necessary
| right of way needed for the temporary
bridge
The officials of the railroad would
nat put on price on the strip of land.
| All that is needed is a piece of land
| from the bridge to River street, sixteen
| feet wide at the bridge and tapering
| down to four feet at River street The
land lies on the west side of Holman
| street The railroad company consid-
| ers this strip invaluable for them, be-
| cause of the dockage possibilities and
| the frontage.

that it would be a great thing if the
postoffce department would establish
an interurban mail service between the
cities of the region.
John Gavit said that he thought the
interurban mail service ought to be es-
tabiished at once. He stated that Moth
ing would have the effect of estab-
fishing closer relations between the
cities of the region than a frequent
mail service.
Carl kaufman stated today that 1t
will promote closer business relations
between the cities OF the region He
said that it is his experience that it
takes from twelve to thirty-six hours
to send letter to East Chicago, which
is only two miles away. when letter
mailed in the morning should reach it's
destination the same day.
Unique situation Here.
H NJ. BicknclI stated that it is Z
fact that it requires from twelve hours
TO a day TO send a letter from Ham

and he thought the cities of the region
were now large enough to warrant the
establishment of the service.

1000 YET
To TAKE OUT
IST. PAPERS
Lake County's Result at Fall
Election Depends Largely
On Who Gets Bulk of For
eign Voters To Be Natural
lied This Year.

Deputy United States Clerk Charles
Surprise estimates that there are H.
600 foreign Americans in Lake coun-
II Surprise is correct in his estimate
the possibilities for the naturalization
of foreigners in the coming election
are almost unlimited and for the sec
ond time in a national election the re-
suit in Lake county will depend up
on which party is able to line up the
foreign vote.
If these 1000 new citizens are all
voted one way they may change the
political complexion of the entire state.
Each naturalization costs the new cit
izen 81 and what else it may cost him
for car fare to get to the naturaliza-
tion office and to pay other incidental
expenses.
This makes it apparent that it will
cost the political parties of Lake u
ty at least $4,000 TO create these 1000
new citizens. That, of course, does
not include the incidental expenses
of the campaign
who VIII Have the Coin
In the last presidential election the
republicans had the money with which
to make the way to citizenship easy
democratic party had the money with
which to naturalize the foreigners.

game to tell which party will have
the most money in the fall elections
