No Clue to Dabbert.

The disappearance of w. c. Dab
bert of Michigan City remains much
of a mystery today as it was a week
ago yesterday. Mrs. Dabbert has re-
ceived no word from her husband, and
inquiry among his friends and at the
Michigan Central freight office has
failed thus far to bring forth any It'd
ings of the man.
Agent l. j. Brinkman of the Michigan
Central today received a. telegram from
the auditors office to the effect that
one of the accountants will be in
Michigan City tday to go through Mr..
Dabbert's accounts. Until he finishes
with his work it will not be definitely
known as TO how the accounts stand.
AS heretofore stated every indication
in the records now is that the accounts
are absolutely straight. Chief Clerk
Ebert. promoted upon Mr.. Dabbert' $
departure from the position of cashier.

Germ the accounts are straight

TRACK TEAM BEGINS
IT'S OUTDOOR WORK
High School Lads Start
Their Training for
Spring Meet.

1t is expected that the track team of
the Hammond high school will begin
work about the middle of April this
spring. The boys are already begin
ming to figure out the dope and hope
to have a fairly representative team.
So far is known there Will be no
new material in school this fall that
will materially strengthen the team,
and on the other hand, the team will
lose Atwood, Ebert and Murray. who
were all responsible for scores In the
meets last year.
Not until the basketball season is
over will the boys give their attention
to track athletics with any degree of
consistency. 1t is expected. however. that
the local team is crippled, as it will be,
will be able to win the local meets.
Some of the boys have begun to do
outdoor work already and have been
taking long runs to get into condition.

Men at the Hub.

NATTER UP TO THE COUNCIL
Especial to The TrMFsl

Crown Point. Ind. Feb. S.-As far as
the county commissioners attitude on
the matter is concerned, North Hob
man street, Hammond, Ind, will be
graced with a new bridge costing in
the IN eighborhood Of from seventy to
eighty thousand dollars, as per speci-
fcations and estimates submitted by
engineers before the board yesterday,
and the only drawback or hindrance
to the proposed project at present is
the allowing Of the required sum by
the county council and possible nego-
tiations with the traction companies to
stand their share toward paying for the
structure.
Professional and representative bust
ness men from Hammond met before
the board yesterday and explained the
necessity for a new bridge over the
Calumet. in one voice declaring the
present structure to be inadequate and
in a dangerous condition to and for
the traffic. Thos voicing their senti-
ments from Hammond were: Street
Commissioner kaufman, Adam Ebert,
Peter j. Lyons, Lawrence Becker. Carl
Bauer, Charles Fredericks and Survey
or Bridge. Richard. Schaaf ST. lent a
helping hand in pushing his pet pre-
ject to the front, and nothing remains
now but for the necessary amount to be
forthcoming to see the project well I'M
der way in a short time.
The fact was brought out that the
Monon railroad has just go through
building a single track bascule bridge
at Hammond and no sooner is the
bridge completed than it is found to be
entirely inadequate and will have to be
replaced in the near future by a double
track bridge
So far as the Hammond, Whiting &
East Chicago Electric Railway company
is concerned it is apparent that it will
not pay any of the expense of building
the bridge Manager Green stated that
his company is already heavy taxpay-
| er in the count and that it would be
ass essed it's share of the cost of the
bridge. 1t Is thought. however. thai

city of Hammond for its extension fran
chise that it can be forced to pay some
thing towards the construction of the

And now that Gary is on the map 1t
is not for the ladies of this city TO
take any back seats. Not that the
ladies of other cities are not entertain-
ing, but because just at present there

are at least dozen card clubs in Gary
meeting weekly and semi monthly. and
what with the teas "a homes"

other functions. we are afraid that
some of the good ladies OF Gary are

Probably one has ever stopped to
consider just how much is going on
at the present time. Manager Harry
Hall OF the Assembly hall. stated today
that his hall had been engaged for
thirteen dances and two entertain-
ments during the remaining days Of
the month of February. They are as
follows:

GARY IS ALSO MUCH
IN THE uMEl|GHT SOCIALLY

Besides being a wonder of the world
for it's Industrial, commercial and bust
MISS enterprises. Gary alone can boast
of its social activities probably more
than any other city in the northern
part of the state.
During the past two months the city
has been In the midst of a social. whirl.
such as has never been experienced
in the history of the new Steel City.
What. with It's card parties. luncheons,
socfals, church acairs. dances, enter
tainments. the social calander has been
full for each day in the past few weeks
and the greatest difficulties in planning
"a party or entertainment of social
nature is not to set the date so that
1t will conflict with any other date.
As one prominent Gary lady said to
a THE TIMES reporter a few days ago.
The only way 1 can keep posted on
all the social affairs I am invited to is
to set the time down in a date book
and then some times | am at loss to
know which function 1 will attend and
which to send regrets to-.
At one time the pretty little county
seat town of Crown Point was given
the credit for having more social func-
tions than any city hereabouts. The
Crown Point ladies We'd with each
other in entertaining until 1T was the
talk of the northern part of the state
and newspapers all over commented
upon it,
| Then came Hammond The ladies OF
Hemewood. not to be outdone by theil
sister town of Crown Point, started ts

was carried ON for years was enough
| to make their husbands wish they
dwelt far of in some back woods away
from civilization.

PO0LR0OM
IS ROBBED
LAST NIGHT


Gaining an entrance through an open
window somebody. who was evidently
well acquainted with the location,
robbed the till in the Cox & Co. pool
room last night. The exact amount
that was taken is not known. but it Is
thought that approximately SIS were
taken. No arrests have been made, as
neither the police nor Mr. Cox are ready
to cause the arrest of anybody on sus-
pieion.
1t is possible that the burglar or
burglars are members of the gang of
young toughs who have been guilty of
petty larceny and which the police have
been trying to break up
The burglary of last night demon
strates again that no alley window on
business block should be without
bars.

Something will have to be done to
capture the culprits who are continual

the police are doing everything in
their power to round up the parties.
Another false alarm was turned in
from a box at the corner of Fifth and
Broadway this morning. The fire de-
partment was soon on the scene, but
was unable to find any fire.
The false alarms that have been
turned in by unknown parties here late-
~ have proved to be very annoying and

The new company is capitalized at

outgrowth of co-partnership formed
between C. c. Smith and Bruce Miller

Wabash Train Holds Cross

A fragrant case of defiance of the
state law and the city ordinance pro-
hibiting the holding of crossings by
railroad trains came to light last night
at the Holman street crossing of the
Wabash.
For fully fifteen minutes the train
crew without any apparent good cause
permitted a long freight train to block
the crossing after 8 o'clock. Passen-
gers in a street car. bound for their
homes, were delayed and pedestrians
men. women and children were COM
PEELED to stand in the cold to await the

ingly lacked utter regard for the con-

wait in his automobile. The engine
was in charge of Engineer Weber and

those who waited for the train to pass
and will appear as a witness when the
case comes to trial.
The conductor explained that the
train had been accidentally cut in the
first quarter and the arrival of another
engine had to be awaited, but there
is nobody who has lived in Hammond

that there are daily violations Of the

When Charlotte Bronte went
up to London to confer with her
publishers, after the phenomenal
success of her first novel Jane
Eyre" the literary world, and, to
some extent, the fashionable world
also, endeavored to do her honor,
but found this hospitable intention
baked by the invincible timidity
of the "shy little brown bird" as
Thackeray called her. Thackeray
was the first literary parsonage to
recognize the young author, send
ing, care of her publishers, copy
of his Vanity Fair" marked
with the grateful regards of w.
M. Thackeray," before he knew
he was addressing a comparative
ly young girl. Thackeray, if any
body, could have overcome the
dif6dence of the retiring rustic
maid but even that genial host
found himself defeated in his kind
ly attempt to afford her a little
experience of London lionizing.
This disposition to shrink from
notice followed Charlotte Bronte
throughout her life, and, undoubt-
eddy, curtailed very sharply the
circle of her friendships, which
might have been wide and inter
esting.
