gestion and appeal aroused In the
youth love Of the sea and its adven-
lures. Lieut.. Peary's distinct ambi.
tion to discover the pole is known to
have been born in him as a result of
the Greeley expedition and fits relief.
He was then a young officer in the
navy, as were a number of those
prominent in the work of exploration
at that time, and hence the glory
which now shines upon the water arm
Of Uncle Sans military service by
reflection.
It is strange how soon We are for
gotten. People who knew Lieut..
Peary's father are not now certain Of
his Christian name. Charles H.
Peary Of Chest Springs, a cousin of
the explorer and who spells his name
Perry, calls the Heutenant's father
Charles Peary. Ex-Judge A. V. Bark
er Of E0ensburg is certain his name
was George. It has been suggested
that perhaps his name was George
Charles Peary. However that may
be, Mr.. and Mrs. Peary on coming into
this county located in the woods near
what is now Cresson, where Peary
established shook shop. A house
standing on the turn of the road from
Cresson to Loretto, about 100 yards
from the town, is now generally &C.
cepted by the people of the county as
occupying part OF the site of the orig
inal Peary home, and is said to actu-
ally include fragment Of the old
building.
It was in that house that Robert 2.
Peary was born, and there, two or
three years later, his father died.
Frank O'Hara, an old farmer living in
Munster township, recalls Peary's
birth clearly and tells story of the
elder Peary sending a messenger in a
conveyance to a point some distance
away to fetch a physician. xiii the

it's another "reminiscences Of OHara
that the elder Pesry, who died at Gal
Iitizin, was buried amid a blizzard.
THAT was like the north pole itself"
says the aged Munster man. Peary
was buried at Cape Elizabeth, Ne.
The only basis for the claim that
Peary was born at Chest Springs IS
the residence there of his cousin.

the board was the reading of the min
utes of the previous meeting, which
were at once approved. Then came the
reason to show cause why the new APP
pointees, the city council themselves
and all other city officials duly elected
by the people should continue on the
job, unless an appropriation to secure
coal and eggs for the balance of the
year was forth coming. The appro-
priation amounting to approximately
S125,333S was then passed, the rules
having been suspended and an embryo
panic thus averted. The next matter to
receive attention was the saloon lie
ense question. The price of license
was raised to $3.50 and to be issued for
not less than one year,-and fine of
not more than 500 to be imposed on
saloonkeepers violating the ordinances
governing the management of such
places. Two street car ordinances were
up but not read One was the Red line
looking for an entrance into Indiana
Harbor and the other was the Gary and
Interurban which is attempting to
break into select society by cutting in
to East Chicago from its Gary and
Hammond route. The first named cor
poration was present in the person of
superintendent Green who on first en-
tering the council chamber took a

APPOINTED
FOR LOUVRE

Otto Weller, proprietor of the LOW
re-" an exclusive ladies' and children's
outitter and tailor. located in the
Feuer building on Broadway, went
under yesterday after meteoric
flight in the business world. Deputy
Clerk Charles L. Surprise of Hammond
came to this city yesterday with the
notice from Federal Judge Anderson's
court at Indianapolis to place the
door of the defunct establishment.
The chief creditors, it is said, is the
Corey e. Heller company of Chicago
who were the petitioners. The com
pany was represented by the members
of the firm, CASTOR ]. Corey and Ignaz
G. Heller. The petitioners filed against
Weller last Friday and the court i'm
mediately appointed A. Murray Turner,
president of the First National Bank
of Hammond as receiver.
The case Of Mr.. Weller will be heard
before Judge-in Bankruptcy John o.
Bowers on the oath Of this month, or
ten days after the petition is field. I'm
mediately after the notice was placed
on the door of the Louvre, the store
was closed and will remain closed
until Mr.. Weller can prove his firm
solvent.
Mr.. Weller was an ambitious young
man, formerly connected with the
Alschuler department store and with
Kaufman & Wolf. of Hammond For
a time he seemed to be very prosper
Gus, but 1t is said he began overbuy-
ing and was unable to meet his cred
itors. The throwing of Mr.. Weller into
involuntary bankruptcy came as dis
tinct surprise to his friends.

foreigner
KILLED BY
TRAIN IN GARY

Because he didn't know enough to
get out of the way of a switch engine
in the Kirk yards at Gary an I'M
identified foreigner was killed yester-
day afternoon at o'clock while stand
ing in the middle of the track The
man has evidently been in Gary but
short time, and is one of those multi
tude of foreigners who come from no.
where and go nowhere, wandering
about over the country.
At the inquest held yesterday after
noon it was proved that the case was
purely an accident and that no one was
to blame. The man was standing on
the track as the engine, which was
switching several cars, bore down upon
him. The crew of the train testified
that they shouted a warning to him
and that he seemed to hear them but
made no effort to get out of the way.
1t did not appear to them that he was
excited or intended to commit suicide,
but just didn't know enough to get off
the track.
The force of the impact broke the
mans neck but he was not run over.
He was evidently of Greek nationality
and is thought to have boarded at
Miller Station, although the exact place
has not been located. He will be buried
this afternoon.

The action Of the council was in
keeping with the sentiment OF both
cities. The people believed that the
interests OF the two communities were
IN common, that the public utilities
should be SO constructed as to serve
the whole community at less expense
to both cities, that Gary should bene-
fit by the absorbing of this yaluabI
territory and that .Tolleston would

the city by the corporation interests.
and tasty that he annexation was the
natural course of events.
Today one of Tolleston's prominent
real estate dealers was elated over the
action of the council and in discussing
it, said:
I'VE are all glad that we have be-
come part of Gary. 1 know of sew
eral men who have promised to pur-
chased lots and live in Tolleston If our
town was annexed to Gary. There are
many others who have bought lots
here who have announced that they
will improve them when it is taken into
the Gary limits. 1 think that It will
help Gary greatly
Gets Valuable Territory.
In the annexation of Gary it means
that this city has acquired eight more
miles of valuable territory and that
the population of the city will be in
creased to 1000 or 1920 more people,
1t will alos greatly increase the as
sessed valuation of property.
1t Is not believed that the town
board of Tolleston will take any steps
to block the measure now that it has
passed, and If they do, the citizens OF
the city will proceed to enjoin them
from using the towns $500 which they
had appropriated for that purpose.

ter Gone.
MAY Be NERVOUS BREAK DOWN
Girl Had Been Taking Care of Large
Family of Children Since
Mother Died.
MAY Be NERVOUS BREAK Down
Especial to THE TIMES.


Whiting, Ind, Jan. 1S.-The circum-
stances of the Fritz K-lemm family of
Reece avenue, in Robertsdale, has
again aroused public sympathy About
one year ago the mother of the family,
consisting of six small children, died.
Her illness had been a rather prolonged
one and during most of the time she
was nursed by her oldest daughter,
Louise, a girl who is now IA years old.
At the death of Mrs. K1emm Louise
took up the responsibilities of home
keeper and mother to her younger
brothers and sisters, the oldest of
whom is ten years old and the youngest
two years old. All who were acquaint-
ed with the family were surprised with
the management of this mere child and
the excellent way she took care of the
children.
The strain has been a hard one on
her and in spite of her efforts and will
ingness with which she went about her
daily tasks 1t proved too much for her.
On Sunday night the father, Fritz
Klemm, reported to the Roberts dale
police that the girl had left her home
on last Friday. and had not returned.
1t is not thought that the young lady
has gone very far, but that breaking
down with her burden she wanted to
get away from home for a short time
and is staying with some friends in the
immediate vicinity.
Although this is the supposition, the
father is very much alarmed about his
daughters absence, and in the mean
