GOLDEN STREAM IS
POURED OUT IN GARY

Two more subsidiary companies of
the United States Steel. corporation are
paying their employees today. They
are the Gary plant of the American
Sheet and Tin Plate company and tie
Lisin, Joliet and Eastern railway.
The railroad company's pay roll
which is being paid off today amounts to
$57 goo while the tin plate construction
pay roll which is semi monthly amounts
TO 5000. From the foregoing 1t would
be assumed that the tin plates con-
struction pay roll amounted to but s1o.-
900 month. However. a great deal of
work is being done by contractors such
as the Raymond Concrete company and
the Pittsburg Construction company.
Adding their pay rolls with the com
panys regular rolls the men engaged
in the tin plate mill construction get an
actual total OF $4,000 month.
This week the Indiana Steel COM
pany also had its pay days and the sum
of s227,755.51 was paid out at the Gary
plant

gasoline is store for the motors. The
American carries three gasoline en-
gines, one of which Is a donkey, while
the two others are used for motive
power. They are in the center of the
car and are of about eighty-horse pow
er. Beneath the car hangs a 1ifeboat
twenty-seven feet long, to be used in
case the balloon is wrecked.
Srung under the car is an equilibra-
tor 800 feet long which takes the place
of a drag rope used on balloons. The
equilibrator consists of a long steel
cable to which are attached thirty
small steel tanks, each carrying sew
enty-five pounds of gasoline and forty
wooden blocks. The blocks are about
twenty inches long. The equilibrator
makes it unnecessary 20 carry ballast.
To stay at Height of 200 feet.
1t is intended that the balloon shall
sail at a height of about 200 feet. If it
settles close to the water the wood
blocks and the tanks would float on
the water and relieve 1t of some of
it's weight. AS the gasoline is re-
quired the steel cable will be pulled
up into the car of the balloon and a
tank will be emptied
Altogether the America carries 1900
pounds of gasoline, it is as thoroughly
equipped with sextants, compasses and
other instruments for locating position
as are the ocean liners.

PURIELLE EhLISTS AID
OF ST. JOHN PEOPLE
Committee Appointed to
Help Get Right of Way
Through Township.
Especial to THE TINES. }

ST. John. Ind, Oct. 15.-A meeting
was called at Hammers hall Thursday
evening in the interest of the new In
diana & Northwestern Traction COM
pany. Eugene Purtelle, the promoter
of the new line, arrived here in the
evening and the meeting was called to
order by John Miller. jr, who intro
duced Mr.. Purtelle to the audience.
Mr.. Purtelle explained to the people
present, the object of the meeting was
to appoint committe to secure the
right-of-way for his line through ST.
John township towards Crown Point.
He explained the many advantages to
the communities by running an inter
urban through any county. so the peo-
pie could well afford to donate the
right-of-way to the company building
the line.
Furthermore he stated that the com
pany will begin to work at once after
the right of-way has been secured
without asking for ystock to be
bought, only help to get the right-of-
way and leave the rest to them. The
committee appointed to secure the
right-o of way are: Rev. A. NJ Bucheit
John Miller. Jr.. VIM. Koehle, Edward
Thfelen and Adam Gard.

GAS GRANT
MAY CONE
Up MONDAY

Monday nights Gary city council
meeting will be watched with interest
inasmuch that there is a possibility
that a report may be made on A. F.
Knots gas, water, electric light and
steam heat franchise. Knots wants a
grant which will be more comprehen-
sive in scope than the one now oper-
ated by the Gary Heat, Light & Water
company of the steel corporation.
Alderman Szymanski Is Chairman
The franchise was introduced by Aid
erman Szymanski some time ago and
Mayor T. f. Knots appointed him as
chairman of the committee to report
or 1T. SO far the south end alderman
who, together with Aldermen Castle
man and F'euer constitute the com
mittee, have failed to report on it, al
though it is said that strong pressure
has been brought on him by those in
terested to make declaration of what
the committee thinks of it.
If Mr.. Knots gets the franchise 1t
will be a valuable asset. But whether
he gets it remains to be seen. The
souring of the grant would make him
a formidable rival of the steel corpo-
ration.
Aldermanic Situation Tangled.
One of the aldermen declared this
morning that it could be taken for
granted that the new aldermen would
not be named until after election for

on several occasions, they consider him
amateurtsh in trying TO be a bad man,
but who really believes that he is a
desperate character.
Speaking of his arrest in Eikhart
an Elkhart paper says about him:
II was approached by two men with
a proposition to burglarize a house in
this city. | don't know the men nor
whose house was to be btrglarized
1 contemplated holding up a man in
Hammond. He owed me money
and refused to pay me, so l was go
ing to hold him up and get it. That
is the reason 1 left Hammond.
Il have been implicated in a few
minor burg1aries in my time but none
of them were in Elkhart. These are
some of the admissions of George Mer-
mill, aged IS, who was placed I'M
der arrest by Chieg Rinehart Monday
afternoon. He will be held and put
through the sweating process with the
hope that he will weaken and tell more
about tn contemplated burglary than
he has so far. Whether or not Merrill
is as bad he is willing to be be-
lieved to be and has actually been ap-
preached by thugs with a proposition
fairy story, remains to be determined.
Whether the mild crook who tipped the
chief acted in good faith or was play
ing to the galleries, also remains to be
determined

TEMPEST
FOUND IN
TEAPOT


East Chicago, Oct. 15.-Quite an ar
ray of street car traffic talent including
Gen. Mgr c. n Wilcoxson of the South
Shore and Supts Green of the Green
Line was present in East Chicago yes
terday, and a tempest in a teapot was
stirred up when officials of the South
Shore line discovered the work that was
going forward at the corner of For
syth avenue and Chicago avenue, where
the Shore Shore and the Hammond.
Whiting and East Chicago lines cross.
Owing to the paving this crossing is
now torn up and incidentally it has
been decided to dispense with siv of the
posts which have been an eyesore on
this most prominent intersection in the
business district In order to do this
the two street car companies VIII be
forced to use the same posts. four of
which are to be allowed to remain
standing for the support OF the cleo
trical equipment necessary while six
are to be removed. Three of the extra
posts are on the Friedman corner.
while the other are located on each on
the other three corners.
General Manager c. N Wilcoxson of
the South Shore line sustained internal
injuries when hssdiseovered that the
city had taken up the matter Of dis
pensing with the unnecessary posts,
with Assistant Superintendent Gray
instead of doing business with head
quarters.
The city administration was subject
ed to a bawling out on account of this,
as he regarded it, business selecism
but Manager Wilcoxson Gained down
after a bit and everything was salts
factorily arranged.

paign at Indiana Harbor next Thurs
day
The silver tongued orator from Mich
igan will be present on that occasion
to speak to the local republicans, the
meeting which he will address to take
place in the Auditorium.
The occasion will be the first visit of
Senator Smith to this city and it is
the intention of the local republicans
to see to it that nothing in tn eway
OF the present and future greatness of
the locality is lost upon the popular
senator.
The entire program for the TWEEN
tieth has not been arranged, but it is
likely that there may be other speak
ers. although Senator Smith. of course,
will have the principal address.
Another noteworthy gathering of the
campaign is that which will fall on the
evening of the twenty fourth, a week
from next Monday night, when Con-
gresham Crumpacker will be the star

CAUSES BAD ACCIDENT
Especial to THE TINES. }

Griffith. Ind. Oct 15.-Joe Harken-
rider, who is employed at the plant of
the Smith Brothers Photographic Sup
ply company, was badly burned yes
terday while building a bonfire of some
refuse gathered from the plant.
Among other things manufactured
at the factory is flashlight powder.
Yesterday was general cleaning day
and the sweepings of the place was
piled out of doors and Joe set it on
fire 1t did not seem to burn well
so hit slipped up and poked it. In
stantly there was a loud explosion
and great sheets of flame spread in
all directions. When it was all over
and Mr.. Harkenrider had a chance to
examine himself he found that one
hand and forearm were badly burned.
The injuries are not very serious.

If you had some Diapepsin handy
and would take a little now your
stomach distress or Indigestion would
vanish in FIVE minutes and you would
feel fine.
This harmless preparation will di-
gest anything you eat and overcome
sour, out-of- order stomach before you
realize it,
If your meals don't tempt you, or
what little you do eat seems to fill you,
or lays like lump of lead in your
stomach, or if you have heartburn,
that is a sign of Indigestion.
Ask your Pharmacist for a 50-cent
case of Papes Diapepsin and take
a little just soon as you can.
There will be no sour risings, no belch-
ing of undigested food mixed with

political reasons In the meantime
south end politicians have taken up
the candidacy OF Saloonkeeper Anton
Baukus for alderman at-large and Sa-
loonkeeper Walter Gibson of Tolleston
for alderman from that part of the
city First subdivision aldermen de-
mand the election of former Town
Trustee Willard A. Caldwell and his
candidacy is said to have the approval
of Mayor Knots. They seem to favor
Frank Borman as the Tolleston aspir-
ant.
Many improvements Scheduled.
The usual routine of petitions for
improvements, the passing of declara-
tory Improvement resolutions and the
opening of bids with the letting OF
some contracts will also come up.
