TRIED IN OTHER CITIES.
This will be the first time that the
laboring men of Gary will have been
given an opportunity to pay for their
homes in the same manner that they
would pay rent. The plan has been
tried in many of the large cities of the
country and has proved universally sue
cessful. Many of the real estate firms
VIII ohave been informed of the project
have expressed their sunrise that the
plan has never been tried before in
Gary where the opportunity for such a
scheme is almost limitless. During the
coming year. 10000 more workmen will
probably be brought to theis city and
they must have some place to live. An
effort will be made by others to bring
capital into the city for the same pur-
pose in the near future.

Especial to THE TIMEs.)

Especial to THE TIMEs.)
East Chicago, Ind, March 12.-About
seventy-fiv men were thrown out of
employment at the Republic mills last
night as a result of a fire which broke
out at 8:45 o'clock.
The blaze started from a spark from
one of the rolls which fell in oil pit
under one of the engines. The fire de-
partment was summoned, and after
some difficult work on the part of the
firemen in distinguishing the blaze in
the oil pit. the fire was put out.
The loss is estimated at 81, 1000. A belt
which ran from the engine to one of
the rolls was destroyed. The belt was
240 feet long, 36 inches wide and was
valued about $500.
1t will take at least three or four
days to replace the belt and the sew
enty-flve men who were thrown out OF
employment will return as soon as the
belt arrives. Superintendent John Nc
Gaff says that belt can be secured In
Chicago and he is rushing the order sc
that the men can return to work a.
soon as possible.

NEW ROADS WILL
HELP I. CHICAGO
One Leading From Indiana
Harbor to Gary Would
Be a Boon.
Especial to THE T1MEa)

East Chicago. March 12.-There is
considerable agitation looking toward
the opening of three new roads lead
ing from Indiana Harhor. which will
greatly facilitate wagon traffic from
outlying points to this city. The agi-
tation is being fostered by influential
parties and 1t looks as though some
thing would come of 1t.
One OF the roads desired is from the
Harbor to the Cudahy plant At pres
ent 1t is necessary for wagons desiring
to reach the plant to go in a round
about way via Oklahoma, making a
considerable detour. In order to OBJ
v;ate this 1T will be necessary to open
up a new roadway.
Another new road under contempla-
ton will lead from the Harbor to Gary
and a third which is being agitated is
from the Harbor to Whiting.
There has long been a growing neces-
sity for the two last-named roads and
the establishment Of the Cudahy plant
makes a road from Indiana Harbor &c
the site of this plant equally desirable
1t is expected that something definite
will be done along this line in the neal
| future.

Especial to THE TIMEs)

Especial to The TINES
Indiana Harbor. March 12.-For the
first half of its 1910 fiscal year, ended
January 81, the American Steel Foun-
dries company, which has a plant at
Indiana Harbor, earned a net sum of
$316.044, as compared with a net loss
of S6S,S73 for the same period of 1909
clear gain of over 500 per cent.
Total income OF s723.9Oe shows an in
crease over the first half of 1909 Of
$4S2,073. Aggregate deductions from
total income during the same time were
$310,706, as against s407,S62 for the
first six months of 1910. Depreciation
of plants alone for the latter period
amounted to s151,s21, compared with
$50. se9 the year previous The 1910 al
lowance does not seem overlarge in
view of the greater activity OF the COM
panys mills.
A director of the corporation is re-
sponsible for the statement that in
April an initial divident will be an
rnounced on thes1:.1 "a. 900 capital stock
of all one kind, and it is believed that
business since the first of the year has
increased even more than during the
six months ending January 81.

given little surprise when the Gro

LORIMER HEARING is ENDED

Speaker shurtleff Goes on Stand
Testifies More About As
sembly Factions.

Chicago. - The senatorial sub
committee which is investigating
thc election of United States Senator
Lorimer concluded its three weeks
session in Chicago without hearing
arguments.
Before the report on Mr., Lorimer's
right to his seat is presented to the
full committee on privileges and cleo
tons, by which the seven investiga-
tors were delegated, there is the pros
pect of further sittings at Washing
ton preceding the converting of con
gress next December. Moreover. it is
possible that additional testimony will
be heard.
This will depend in part upon
whether Representative Robert e.
Wilson, now in hiding, is found by the
deputy United States marshals. who
have been hunting for him to serve
him with subpoena
Chairman Burrows made plain that
he was regarded as a highly desirable
witness. whose absence at this time
suggested special reasons for secur-
ing his presence and testimony
Speaker Edward d. Shurtleff was
slated one of the last witnesses heard,
Mr. Shurtleff denied paying or re-
ceiving money "or other valuable
thing" in consideration of voting for
Lorimer. Most of his testimony was
devoted to apportioning the house leg
islators into factional groups.
Up to the last moment there was
uncertainty as to whether Senator
Lorimer would be a witness. but he
did not go on the stand.

SUPREME TRIBUNAL ENTERS UP.

and important session.
Although the tobacco trust. Stand.

tax cases are regarded as the most
important ones now before the SUI

other cases of considerable national
significance. One of the latter is the
original act of the state of Virginia
against its next-door neighbor, West
Virginia, in which several million dol
lars are involved as a result of the
division of Virginia in its original
state. The suit consists of an at.
tempt to compel West Virginia to
shoulder part of the debt that existed
in Virginia at the time of the division.
There are two peonage cases ap.
pealed by the state of Florida: the ap.
peal of number of railroads in the.
western territory in the suit brought
by them against the railroad connie
sion of Missouri; three criminal cases
brought by the United States on &C.

its suit against the Western Terminal

STANDARD CUTS OIL PRICES
Reductions Made In Europe and the
Far East in Campaign to In
crease Use of Kerosene.

New York;. l. c. Clarke. through
whom the Standard Oil company
makes its official announcements to
the public, has issued statement to
the effect that the company has en-.
tered on a thoroughly mapped out
campaign to increase the consumption
of kerosene in European countries and
move in this campaign is the reduo-
ton of the prices of oil in those coun-
tries. Mr. Clarke's announcement says
In part:
The Standard Oil company has In.
augurated a campaign to increase the
worlds consumption OF refined oil
The level of prices for refined oil to-
day in the United States is lower than
at any time during recent years. and
as direct result of these prices the
consumption of refined oil In this
country is increasing. The same pol
Icy Is now being actively pursued
abroad"
As indicated by this statement, the
Standard company began trying out
the policy OF lower prices in the
United States. though without an
nouncing that it had in view cam.
paign that would cover the world. In
August the price Of refined oil In
tanks was reduced from 6h to 51a
cents a gallon. and the price OF re-
fined oil In barrels at the refinery was
cut l cent. from 9% to s& cents a
gallon.
