T0lLESTOh GUN CLUB
GIVES UP TO e.. co.
John w. Drake of Black
stone Hotel in Gary
Says YES"

At last the tenacious ToIeston Gun
club has decided to permit the Chicago
Telephone company to extend its poles
over the clubs propertq This will give
that tart of Gary south of the Little
Calumet river telephone in a very short
while Already poles have been erected
north and south of the Little Calumet
river but permission could not be OBJ
tanned to erect them on the gun club
property and hence the matter was
seriously delayed.
A final decision to permit the ex-
tension of the system was given today
when John W. Drake, proprietor of the
Blackstone hotel, Chicago, and w r.
Linn, an official of the Postal Tele-
graph company. called at the Ridge
road offices of Timothy W. Englehart
the South Broadway realty magnate
They were accompanied by Randall
Burns, the father of the Burns ditch
and the owner of much river fronting
property.
Drake and Linn are heavily inter
ested in the Tolleston Gun club, and
after they were shown the situation
they decided to permit the erection o.
poles over the club property. Thus
the gap that prevented the installa
ton of the phone service two month!
ago is now eliminated. and as fast a!

string the wires the trans-river coun
try will be placed in phone communi
cation with the world.

Indiana Harbor. Aug. 1S.-Tony
Letka, of One Hundred and Thirty six
tn and Deodar STREETS. was shot in the
back yesterday, by bullet which had
previously passed through the body of
a dog two hundred feet away. killing
the dog instantly. Letka while not

The bullet was fired from a revolver
in the hands of Andrew Klobachar, a
saloon Keeper whose place of business
is located a. 3605 Deodar street. The
dog at which it was aimed, and which
it dispatched neatly, was a large
black mongrel, supposed to be mad.
Whether this was the case or not, the
animal according to Klobachar had
been swapping at pedestrians and had
bitten one man, a stranger who failed

He was asked whether he would

that he would not speak under the

did speak he added, it would be for
the cause of organized labor In case
he spoke in the state and the Demo
Gratis or the Republicans benefited. he
said, it would be all right. but any
speeches he might make would be
made with the purpose of benefitins
labor. Such speeches, he explained
would be for candidates who are
friendly to the laboring people and
against those who are opposed to the

TIMES BUREAU,
AT STATE CAPITAL.

Indianapolis. Ind. Aug. 1s.-The
beetles of Indiana are causing more
trouble right now than they ever
caused before in the history of the
state. They are making all kinds of
trouble for the state board, the re-
porter of the supreme court. the state
printing board and the ninety-two
county auditors of the counties of the
state.
1t all comes about through the
printing of the annual report of w. S.
Blatchley, state geologist. which. this
year, is treatise on the beetles of
Indiana. When it became known to
the state printing board that Batch
ley was getting up report on beetles
the board refused to have the report
printed and paid for out OF the state
printing fund, on the ground that beet
les were no part of the business of the
geologist- The board held that bugolo-
gy was not geology. therefore that the
printing fund could not be used for
such purpose. This dispute between
Blatchley and the printing board con-
tinued for several months, and when
it became a settled fact that the board
would not pay for the printing Batch
ley decided to have the report printed
nlnSelI ana pay loT II out Oh MS ONCE
expense fund.
Thus. the copy for the beetle book
went to the state printer late. Batch
| ley informed the state printer that un-
! less the book was completed by the
| goth of September he could not pay fol
/ it at all, because the fiscal year ends
at that time and all appropriations FOL
| 1910 expenditures will cease. to bt

the land, were in Gary yesterday and

yesterday merely had an option on the
tract and the transaction now casts
all doubt aside that the company will
not build the amusement park.
The tract of land contains natural

Gary's clearing house is now in op-

Under the previous arrangement the
clearing clerks of the seven banks
selected one bank as their meeting

BEETLES ARE CAUSING THE
STATE OF IND. MUCH TROUBLE

caused the state printer to get a hustle
on himself. and he has had TO lay aside
all other state work in order TO get
the beetle report out by that time.
In the meantime John d. Williams.
clerk to the state tax board. is receiv-
ing urgent requests from the county
auditors for the certificatfon of the
assessments corporations which
were made by the state tax board.
Williams has had the copy for the state
tax lists in the hands of the printer for
some time, but the printer says he can
not get at this job until the beetle re-
port is about completed. Therefore.
the beetles are obstructing the taxing
power of the state. The county audi
tors will simply have to wait until
the beetles are cleared out of the way.
The forty fourth volume of the APP
pellate court reports and the one hun
| dred and seventy-third volume of the
! supreme court reports are also ready
| for publication, and there is a demand
| from lawyers and courts over the state
for these books But these. too, have
been sidetracked for the beetles. Thus,
| the beetles are also clogging the
| wheels of justice in the state and the
I courts are powerless to help them
| selves.
The printer has informed Williams
that he will get at the tax report In
the next few days and that proofs will
be sent to him soon. This. however,
does not satisfy nor appease the de-
mand from the county auditors. They
want their lists, and apparently they
cannot understand why lot OF beet
les should be permitted to keep them
from having the reports.
