The above statement is printed in the
Iron Age, publication recognized as
the foremost journal of the iron and
steel industry 1t now refers to the
Gary works as the greatest steel plant
in the world" and its editors, who COM
mand the most authoritative scources
of information, declare that not only
the steel world but the car<building in
dustry well will have Gary as the
capitol.
Car Works to Come.
More than two years ago the Ameri-
can Car and Foundry company Cnde-
pendent) secured a site for what is
destined to be its largest plant. The
location is south of the Kirk yards, on
the south bank of the Grand Calumet
river southeast of the axle mill OF
the Gary steel plant and tangent on the
west to the American Bridge company
The site is equal in size TO that own
ed by the American Locomotive COM
pany and the American Sheet Steel and
Tin Plate company and is larger than
that of the bridge company. Ultimate
~, the car works will employe $4,000
men, a number equal to its immediate
allied industry, which the Gary plant
of the locomotive company expects tc

mite announcement was made here yes
terday of two of the important Repub-
lican speakers from out of the state
who will come to Indiana this fall and
make speeches in the interest of the
Republican ticket. 1t was given QUO
that Senator Clapp, of Minnesota, who
is one of the strongest of the insur-
gent Senator's will spend the last week
in September in this state, and that
he will make as many speeches as he
can in that time. 1t was also announc-
ed that James R Garfield. of Ohio,

come and make several speeches Car

at his home.
An effort was made to get these men
for a longer time than a week, but the
arrangements could not be made be-
cause of the demand for their services
in other parts of the country But the
state committee feels that it is fortu-
nate to get them for even that length
of time.

Chesterton All Worked UP
Because US. Steel Locates
Roundhouse There.

Chesterton Is all agog because the
United States Steel Corporation has
condescended to establish a small rail-
of its locomotives at work on runs east
of Gary.
The citizens of the northern metro
polls of Porter county have visions of
future Industrial plants being located
in the town. Senator Bowser is having
bigger visions than did Mohammett
when he went to the mountain. The
tects the smoke of many mills circlins
through the Chesterton orchards. He
says in part in this weeks issue of his
paper, the Chesterton Tribune:
The E., ]. 81 E. Railroad company is
arranging to build a roundhouse to &C.
commodate three engines here, the
same to be ready for use by colo

the nearest place now available being
Hobart, and it is found difficult to ruI
a heavily loaded engine from Hobart
to Chesterton and back on one filling
of the water tank, and many times the
engines are compelled to fill up from
the Wabash water tank at Croker
The new roundhouse will probably b.
buiolt on ground just west of the glas
factory. This will bring several fami
lies to Chesterton to live. At presen
the crews are boarding at the Ca1ume
hotel.

AUSTRO-HUN
CONSUL To
VISIT GARY

The imperial Austrian Hungarian
consul general with headquarters in
Chicago is expected today in Gary.
Emperor Francis Joseph's representa-
tive comes to take charge of the prop
erty and effects of the late Afford
Dome, the young electrical engineer
who was killed Wednesday evening in
the steel plant. Dome boarded at Sew
enth avenue and Jefferson street
The young man, who was well edu-
Gated, leaves an aged mother in Aus
tria. 1t appears that he was insured
in the Modern Woodmen of America
and another lodge to the extent of
$4,000 and he also has money on de-
posit in the First Trust and Savings
bank. This in addition to the $1,000
which will be paid by the steel cor
poration as a recompense for the un-
avoidable taking of the young mans
life It'll be forwarded to his mother.
Young Domes body lies at Jones
mcrgue, Washington street, and it is
thought that today some decision will
be made as to whether the remains will
be inferred here. The young man was
killed by 22o-volt shock, which is
stated to be the lowest voltage in the
history of the electrical industry that
ever caused the death of a human be-
ing.

loon at the corner of one Hundred and
Fiftieth street and Northcote avenue.
getting away with $40 in cash and a
quantity of cigars and wishky.
The saloon is conducted by John
FAIRY and it is belieevd the burglary
was committed some time after mid
night. Tracks in the sand about the
place lead to the belief that two men
committed the robbery and that en-
trance was gained by means of trap
door in the sidewalk through which
beer is lowered to the cellar. This was
unlocked. and once in the basement
the burglars found access to the sa-
loon easy, as the trap at the end OF
the stairway leading to the upper floor
was also unlocked.
The proprietor has not yet made q
full estimate of his loss in stock, but
it is believed to have been considerably
more than the money loss. The money
was taken from the cash register

CHIEF MARTIN STOPS
ALLEGED BOXING MATCH
Gary Police Head Steps
Into Ring and Puts Two
Out for Count.

Chief of Police Joseph d. Martin of
Gary showed his authority and en-
forced the previous orders of Governor
Marshall. that no prize fights would
be allowed in Gary, when he stepped
into the ring during the athletic ex-
hibition given at Baukus hall last
night and stopped the fight, which had
grown too tame to be called boxing
contest, and arrested one of the prin-
cipals, Art Kreager.
Chief Martin had given previous
warnings to the management and the
referee that the three boxing matches
were to be conducted on fairly scien-
tific principles. and all went well until
in the second bout, when the fighters
started to mix things up too lively.
Kreager was much heavier than Char
tier and started out to finish his man
up in the first round. He was warned
by Chief Martin and the referee, DR.
Paff, to slow up.
At the beginning of the second round
Kreager took no warning and started
after his man with swings and rushes
The round only lasted about a minute
as when the mill was becoming fast

the ring and arrested Kreager and
called off the other boxing contests.

Worlds biggest Axle Mill.
In a lengthy and illustrated article on
the Iron Age states it to be the most
modern of its kind in the world. The

ton.
1t is one of the large departments in
the steel works The building itself
is a quarter of mile long. 9S4 feet to
be exact, with a width of 220 feet, COW
ering more than three acres of ground
Heretofore. the axle industry has
used considerable wrought iron but
