Heavy Contracts During June.
During the month of June contracts
were taken in the Chicago district for
$4,000 tons of steel. of which $4,000
went to the American Bridge COM
pany and -112.0oo TO its competitors,
The low price of fabricating material
and generally good conditions in this
section were factors in the amount of
business done in structural steel. Al

Superintendent Haywood was seen
yesterday regarding the new enter
prise, and he stated that the plant was
being provided with the most modern
machinery obtainable. The output will
be largely rolling mill equipment, for
which there is such a large demand
in this region When the present plant
is running full force there will be
about It's or 200 men employed. and
this force will, of course, be largely
increased when the additional improve
ments contemplated are realized. An
important feature of the present equip
rnent is the twenty hve-ton standard
open hearth furnace from which three
heats a day can be taken.
The Hubbard Steel foundry will rank
among the important industries of
East Chicago. Its superintendent, Mr..
Haywood, has located permanently with
his family in this city, having taken up
his residence in the house formerly oc-
cupied by George w. Ross. c. A West

First Snake Story.

Lake county now comes forth with its
first snake story for the current season
and it happened in Gary.
Alvena Hanning, 13 years old, who
lives with her mama and papa at
Twenty-fourth and Indiana avenue yes
terday went into the woods near her
home to get some blackberries for the
supper table. Alvena went tripping
along singing and had a whole bpcke,
full of the luscious fruit when sud
denly Alvena saw what she thought
was a boa constructor. She turned and
fed and reached her home exhausted.
After she recovered sufficiently she was
able to tell her story and some boys
armed with sticks went into the berry
bushes but his snakeship had disap-
peared. If Alvena ran from the snake
she brought home the berries never the
less.

Mr.. Knoerzer's sprinkler is nothing
more than the machine his concern
puts on the market for the spraying
of potato plants. The only difference Is
in the style of nozzle. The one used
this morning merely caused a thin
stream where it should have caused a

these MOBILES about eight inches apart

peoted to do perfect work once the ma

Mr.. Knoerzer figures that two bar
rels of crude oil should cover the
stretch from Holman street to the Mo-
non tracks. and believes that with three
applications a season the dust would
be effectually laid.

observance of Reformation Day similar
to the exercises held asst night in the
First Presbyterian Church. Although
the arrangements for this years OBJ
we've hurriedly made. the

proved of a most interesting character.
Special music by a choir of sixty voices
was a feature.
The address was made by the Rev.
Ferdinand Otto Zesch, OF Jamaica. L

WHEN PAT WAS KING" A
FEATURE OF pROCTOR'S BILL

One of the best-balanced bills of the
season is presented at .Proctor's this
week and a number of oldtime favorites
are in evidence with new material.
Tom Nawn and company easily hold
the head of the bill and the playlet
When Pat Was King is probably the
best of the several quaint sketches that
this popular entertainer has been seen
in. Pats dream after eating of the
leaves of a lotus plant furnish the basis
of the sketch. n the dry humor of
the r~eincarnated gardener is of that
easy-going quality that Nawn has
made distinctive. The scenery is
unique and the supporting company
does much to aid in the success of the
playlet.
Harry B. Lester presents an enter
tanning combination of song, story and
acting that, while not new in concep-
ton, is very amusing, and his imita-
lions are quite above the ordinary.
The Cadets De Gascogne are a quar-
tet of operate singers that are fully
entitled to all the applause they re-
ceive. Their selections are happily
chosen and the rendition of them much
better than is ordinarily heard on the
vaudeville stage.
Hal Davis and Inez Macauley offer a
dainty little sketch called lone Christ
mas Eve.'' in which a little misunder-
standing between a man n his wife
is made the vehicle for a lot of fun
and the complications that arise from
the efforts of the young married couple
to conceal trif1ing details only plunge
them deeper into the maze.
Newbold n Gribbin offer a number
of limitations of well-known actors n
actresses that are a welcome relief
from the usual acts of this kind.
Alethia and Aleko do a mind-reading
stunt In an interesting way. Their act
is a clever one.
The Kuma Family of Japanese enter
tanners are a very clever troupe n do
some old tricks with a dash and
smoothness hat give them new life.
The Bennett Brothers do a comedy
acrobatic act that is clean-cut, and, as
the first number on the bill, gets the
audience in a pleasant humor for he
good things that follow.

"GINGER GIRLS" PUT GINGER
INTO WALDMANN PROGRAM.

While the "Ginger Girls" playing at
Waldmann's Theatre is a bit different
than any Of the shows that have been
here this season, the burlesque fol-
lowers cannot afford to miss it. Clean
and wholesome and full of real humor
is the theme of the managers.
Heading the bill is the funniest man
in burlesque, Ed Lee Wrothe, and he
really keeps the audience in an up
roar all the while he is on the stage.
The honor of the women falls to Miss
Jean LeBeau, the girl with the tan
talizing eyes. Following closely upon
her heels is Miss Jeanette Sherwood,
who makes up in form what she lacks
in voice.
The show consists of two burlettas
and two olio acts. In both pieces the
masterful work, with droI comedy, falls
to Ed Lee Wrothe. Not a dull moment
is experienced. The chorus, while not
large, is a strong one. "Janitor Hug
gins gives ample opportunity for
every member to display his talent and
the best is made Of every chance. The
closing oddly, entitled Fair Day al
Pocatello," is a short musical comedy
George Stone and Wilbur Dobbs dc
good work here.
In the olio the versatile work of the
Semon Duo is very good. Their sing
ing of the different character songs is
fine piece OF work.. Sig. and Edit
Franz, bicycle experts, are all that car
be expected. Both are acrobats of ne
mean calibre and cause the audience
to sit up and take notice.

MAYOR LAUDEO AS
ABLE EXECUTIVE BY
JUDGE KRUGER
Democratic Candidates for City
Offices Are Entertained at
Association Reception.

The Democratic candidates were en-
tertained last night by the Gottfried
Kruger Association. Former Judge
Gottfried Kruger, as chairman of the
reception committee. in introducing
Mayor Haussling, paid a tribute to the
Haussling administration, and in max
ingR comparison of the two mayoralty
candidates said:
THE Mayors opponent claims
to be a great financier and TO
have great knowledge about city
affairs. and we a hear him tell US
what he is going to do If elected. !
can tell you that he is talking about
things about which he doesn't know
anything. All his talk is wind, the
same wind which will blow him Off the
earth on November s. He claims to
have been responsible for the extra day
off for the firemen, but my friend,
Commissioner Burke, told him who was
responsible for that"
Little Politics In Speeches.
None of the candidates was inclined
to talk politics last night and they con-
tented themselves with telling their
campaign experiences and their hopes
of victory. Judge Kruger, in opening
the reception, referred to the great
standard-bearer of the Democratic tick
ct, Woodrow Wilson, as the next Gov
ernor of the State and provoked much
enthusiasm. Others who spoke were
James R. Nugent, Patrick H. Ryan,
candidate for Board of Works; Walter
l. Mccoy and Edward w. Townsend,
candidates for Congress; J. Harry Hull,
candidate for county register; Edward
Schickhaus, candidate for county super
visor, and Assembly Candidates John
J. Bracken, Frank A. B%oettner, Frank
P. Shalvoy and others.
A lunch was served after the
speeches.

U THEATRE.

If YOU want to enjoy a good, whole
some laugh, one that will start almost
as soon as you are comfortably seated
and continue throughout the entire
performance, then by all means see the
present bill at the Court Theatre. h
show that opened yesterday for three
DAYS is an unusually good one.
The dramatic triumph of Carlyle
Moore & Co. is one of the noteworthy
features not only of the current bill
but for the entire season. "Mimetlc
Comedy Disillusioned," the vehicle
which they use, gives them every OPP
portunity to bring out their laugh
getting powers.
George C. Davis, monologist, proved
to be fully as entertaining as had been
expected. The complete conquest OF
Mildred in her exquisitely clever COM
edy characteristics vas a pleasant sur
prise for the patrons as well as the
management.
A refined instrumental number OF
more than ordinary merit was pre-
senteda by the Transf1eld sisters. Inc
rapid-fire patter, n and dances by
Hill and Alderman set the audience
in good humor. The singing of Illus
trated songs and new n popular bal
lads by Billy Huegel compelled atten-
ton and received good, hearty encores.
The change of program announced
for Thursday is headed by Oriska
worden's boys and girls in a minia-
ture musical comedy. 1t will be pre-
scented on an elaborate scale by a com
pany of ten accomplished singers and
dancers, with gorgeous costumes, beau
tiful stage settings and special me
chanical and electrical effects. Another
| costly act is the Firenzi Trio, Italian
street singers and instrumental1sts
The other features are McCabe ano

trated songs and ballads.
