Gary State Bank Gets the
$4,000 Bond Issue; Tenth
Avenue Paving Job Is Let
and Causes Some Com
ment.

Although encompassed with deep
legislative problems and more i'm
provement projects than in any other
city in the real of Hoosierdom the Gary
common council paused last evening
long enough to pass a resolution de-
creeing that there should be no coun-
ell meeting on August 20 and Septem-
Der 5. Therefore the city of Gary will
go unpfloted through the slippery wat
ers of legislation from the August %
to September II.
Award Bond Issue.
The bidders submitted figures for the
$50. 900 bond issue which the council
awarded to the Gary State bank it
having the highest bid, $4,000.
The cher two bidders were Joseph
Elliot and son, s3003Osand the Fletcher
National bank of Indianapolis, s3o,o5O.
In case of the Gary bank the institu-
ton bid for the bonds at par plus the
cost of printing the bond certificates
which amounts to $50.
These bonds are divided into denomi
nations of $1,000 EACH bearing interest
at six per cent and have a duration of
twelve months. They are being issued
to take up some of citys outstanding
warrants. The premium to be given by
the winner of the award will be added
to the price of the bond will be rather
slight. The city will receive s1,0O2.67
for each $1,000 bond.
The Tenth Avenue NIixup
After weeks and weeks of jangling
rejection and re-advertising but in
each case with P. T. O'Brien as the low

East Chicago. Aug. s.-when Mary

Kaans saloon over in Calumet and be-
gan to dance the can-can and hurl
rocks about the place, Steve mistook
her for Carrie Nation and called UP the
police. 1t proved to be however only
Mary's gentle way~of proving that she
was lady and not open to insulting
remarks by any fresh guys who fanci-
ed her a person of coarse nature. 1t
all happened last evening.
Mary had been in Gary and when she
landed In Calumet she was full to the
neck with Gary whisky. A man on
the corner got gay with her and she
picked up an apron full of rocks. which
she proceeded to hurl at this misguided

and when the proprietor recovered
from his surprise he found himself the
victim of Mary's Virtuous wrath, for
woman like her aim which had her
would-be seducer as a target, went
wild and Steven was getting most of
the rocks. What he did not get. his
mirrors, glasses and fixtures got and
SO it was that a hurry-up call was sent
in for the police
Sergeant Mike German was the on
Ger to whom fell the lot of making the
arrest. He jumped into his buggy and
arriving upon the scene he collared
Mary and hauled her into the buggy.
Here she attempted to jump out, so
Mike larrupped his horse into a gallop.
Mary's hair had become unbound and
was floating straight out behind her,
and although she hated Mike. she
could't bear to see him lose his hat, so
when it started to blow off, she ac-
cornodatingly held it on for him.
In this fashion the city hall was
reached and those who saw the spec
tacle compared 1T to Tan O'Shanter's
wild ride, with Mike as Tam. However,
as he landed his prisoner and saved
hit hat, Mike is not minding Mayor
Schleker gave Mary until tomorrow TO
get out of town. If she fails to. obey,
she will be gathered in again, and then
the walls of the Judicial wrath will be
opened and poured upon the head of the
offender. Mary says she likes Gary
better than Oklahoma anyhow, so she
says Mayor Schlieker is "stung."

East Chicago, Ind, Aug. 9.-John
Hug 14Sth and Northcote avenue. was
found yesterday lying near the canal
in the vicinity of the Interstate mill,
apparently in a dying condition. The
police were notified and took him away
to the police station and the report
spread that HUG had attempted sui
eide.
1t developed, however. that the man
was merely intoxicated and a bottle of
whisky found near him substantiated
this theory. He was taken home and
was out again today. HUG was mar

1t is probable that the man. having

The man wore a new brown suit of

CARE FROM MISSOURI,
The other members of the board,
Herman Uecker, the secretary and
Treasurer August Koepke are inclined
to be of the same opinion.
President Ruiz stated that they are
not holding the reins because they
like to do so. He stated hat the board
would be glad to be relieved of it's
duties but 1t would have to be shown
first how 1t can consistently do so. The
Tolleston school board are like the
gentlemen from Missouri.
TWO SCHOOL BOARDS.
In the meantime the city of Gary will
have two separate school administra-
tons within its limits. President
Cutler, the Gary board, and Supt. Writ
will handle affairs in one part while
the Tolleston board and Supt. Avery
will run their own business.
From I'll indications the Gary board
will not go into court about it. If the
Tollestonites do not want the benefit
of Garys excellent schol system they
can keep out so. think the Gary board
Supt. Avery of the Tolleston schools
has ten teachers under him. and, -in
the event that they should come under
Gary's rule, Prof. Avery will become
the principal of the Tolleston schools
and the teachers there will be retained
in their usual positions.
CALLED FOOL LAW.
/ No doubt considerable comment will
of the city of Gary to annex Telleston
In many ways the annexation law is
one of the fool measures passed by the
Indiana legislature.
The law in que ton provides that
any city may annex any adjoining city
or town simply by council resolution.
To retain its independence the annexed
city must present a remonstrance sign
| ed by two-thirds of its voters and
even then its up to the circuit judge
20 say whether the reasons cited in
the remonstrance are valid.
ONE ILLUSTRATION.
/ An illustration of the fool, law was
given last winter when East Chicago
annexed Hammond Then Gary an
nexed East Chicago and as Hammond
was technically part of East Chi
cago, Gary took that in and as her
/ bOutltdIlSS tASD dOIOitleu w HlIitSs she
| swallowed that city and then still
greedy. she annexed Miller, who escap-
| ed her clutches then some territory
| below the river and finally absorbed
Tolleston. AS Gary would constantly
be having new cities adjoining her by
the expansion she could have gone
! east, annexed Chesterton, Valparaiso,
Lafayette. Indianapolis, and infnitun
the whole state of Indiana would have
become the city OF Gary.
In the first place this law was not
| contemplated for any of these purposes
but merely TO permit indianapolis an
mex suburb. Mayor Becker of Ham
mond was one of its principal advq-
Gates and he never realized its dang
erousness until Gary and East Chicago
annexed his city and then released it
from captivity nearly causing him to
lose his throne

This. we take it, means that they OBJ

matter of fact, little to find fault with
in Roosevelt Is definition of conserva-

"The right to use without waste
The denial Of this right to use is what
has made the objection TO the Pinchot
way Of enforcing conservation, That
objection was well founded. and should
prevail. The right of use is traditional
in this country. IL had never been de-
MED until Pinchot denied it, and no
denial of it can possibly be popular
in the United States when the effect
of such denial is understood.
The right of use without waste is
the ideal for this part of the United

TODAY in HISTORY
The Treaty OF Aix-Ia -chapellc
FRIDAY, OCTOBER z, 1910.


The war OF the Austrian Succession,
and iii India and America, from 17iO TO
lTiS. was brought TO an end on Octo-
Der T. 1913, by n congress of all the
belligcrcnts which met at AiN-ia- Chap
ellie. The sessions OF this congress We're
begun In April OF that year, and the
treaty not finally settled upon until
the Ith OF October. The influence OF
England and Holland forced the peace
upon Austria and Sardinia. though both
were bitterly agsrieved by its condl
tions.
France agreed 10 restore every con-
quest she had made during the war. to
abandon the cause of the Stuarts and
eXpel the pretender from her soil; to
dcmolish. in accordance with earlier
treaties, the fortifications of DunIirk
on the side of the sea. while retaining
those on the side OF the land. and TO
retire from the conquest without acquir-
ing any fresh territory or any pccuniary
compensation.
England. in like manner restored the
few conquests she had made. and sub
mittcd 10 the somewhat humiliating
condition OF sending hostages TO Paris
as security for tho restoration OF Cape
Breton The disputed boundary between
Canada and Nova Scotia, which had
been IL source of constant difficulty with
France, was left altogether underlined.
no real compensation was obtained for
n war expenditure which Is said 10 have
exceeded sixty-four millions. and which
had raised the funded and unfunded
debt 10 more than seventy-cight millions.
Of the other powers, Holland, Genoa
and the little state of Modeua. retained
their territory as before the war. and
Genoa remained mistress OF the Duchy
OF Finale, which had been coded to the
king of Sardinia by the Treaty OF
Worms. and which it had been main
object Of his later policy TO secure.
Austria obtained recognition of the
election OF the emperor. a general guar
antee of the Pragmatic Sanction. and
the restoration OF everything she had
lost in the Netherlands. bur she gained
no additional territory, She was COM
pclled 70 confirm the cession of Silcsia

Italian conquests, and even TO ccde

dominions.
