BODY OF NJ. HANS
NOT YET RECOVERED
Mysterious Disappearance
of Railroad Man at East
Chicago Unsolved.
Especial to THE T1MEs)


East Chicago, Ind, March 10-No
light has yet been thrown on the mys-
terry which surrounds the sudden dis
appearance over a week ago of Mike
Hans, the hostler for the Pennsylvania
railroad, who was last seen starting
from the East Chicago depot in the di-
rection of the Kennsdy avenue "Y" on
his way to relieve the engineer and
fireman of the loop train, which pulls
into East Chicago shortly after D. m.
and which was on the night of Hans
disappearance stalled near the ~ ow-
ing to the congested condition of the
tracks near that point.
Today will be the ninth since the
disappearance of Hans, and the vigil
lance of those employed by the Penn
syIvania Railroad company to patrol
the banks of the canal in the hope
that the body of the unfortunate man
may come to the surface, If indeed it be
in the canal, will be redoubled. Nine
days is commonly declared to be the
limit of time that elapses between the
sinking of a body and its rising to the
surface of the water unless it be
caught to something under the water
Two men have been patrolling the
banks for the railroad company ever
since the dragging and dynamiting of
the canal was suspended. This lasted
for five days, and during that time
launches were employed to carry the
crews who were handling the Crap
ping irons. Mat Sternberg's gasoline
launch being one of the boats thus en-
ployed.
There is quite a strong current in
the canal, and for this reason the
patrol is extended to a considerable
distance each way from the point where
Hans is supposed to have fallen into
| the canal at the Chicago Terminal rail-
| way bridge.

Gallagher Says He Will Not

Just Because Conferes on

W. s. Gallagher, president of the Toll

phatically that he had decided to with
draw his opposition to the annexation
of Tolleston by Gary because the Toll
lesion water franchise had been granted
by his .conferes on the board to w. L.
Cole in place of the Gary Heat, Light

You can say, he stated, that I will
continue to fight the annexation in the
courts and that 1 have never considered

1t was rumored about the city that

l. Cole. which he opposed. that he had
determined to allow Tolleston to be-

lagher hopes to beat both projects in
due course of time.
AS to the Cole franchise he said that
this matter would undoubtedly go by
default, he being satisfied that the
grantee did not have sufficient financial
backing to put in the water system for
the town.
The opinion is expressed. however,
that the trouble aroused between Mr.
Gallagher and the other members of the
board who were also opposed to an
nexation would greatly weaken the OPP
position to the annexation and that al
ready several names had been with
drawn from the petition. There are a
large number, however. who are still
opposed to being governed by the Gary
officials under any circumstances and
are still ready to fight it. This is the
only reason given for their opposition.
