AT the time of the first court fight
the Gary lawyers succeeded in raising
$4,000 for the use of its lobbyists.
Senator A. j. Bowser of Chesterton,
Representative L. w. Mickey of East
Chicago and Representative William III.
Kliver of Gary were all won over to
the Gary cause. Hammond was COM
PEELED to go down the state to get some
one to introduce the Hammond bill.
Judge Virgil S. Reiter when asked
what influences were responsible for
that there were two. One was the fact
that Hammond ahd the senator and
both Representatives working for its bill
even though they hailed from widely
separated cities of Lake county other
than Hammond and the other was the
personal influence. OF Mayor Becker.
There were a score of lawyers from
Hammond who went to Indianapolis
and spent their own money lobbying
| for the bill. prominent among whom
were John Gavit of Hammond. who
had considerable prestige the demo-
/ cratic county chairman.
/ In Refers opinion all of these
should be given credit for the work
they have done. Among these are At

Judge William w. Mcmahon, LeGrand

CANADA PLACES ORDER
WITH GARY STEEL PLANT

Canadian interests which recently
placed an order with the Gary steel
mills for $4,000 tons of open hearth bill
lets, which will be shipped to the Do
minion by water, have increased the
original commission with an additional
order for 10000 tons.
OF the iron and steel situation the
Iron Age says in its weekly today:
The rate at which new orders have
been taken this month by the leading
interest is greater than that of Janu-
airy. At the same time shipments have
been increased probably 20 per cent.
The principal rail order of the week
was 10000 tons for the Chicago and
Northwestern. The Buenos Ayres and
Pacific in Argentina has closed for 49,
600 tons of seventy pound rails and the
Manila railways are in the market for
$1,000 tons 1t is probable portion of
the $1,000 tons the Canadian Pacific is
to buy will come to this country. Buy
ing of track supplies has been excell-
emit. The Lake Shore has closed for
$4,000 kegs of spikes and 5000 kegs of
track bolts. Frogs and switch works
are running fuller and electric rail-
road buying both rails and supplies is
much more of a factor.
The lighter finished lines continue
to lead in activity. Wire and tin plate
mills are running to so per cent of ca
pacity- In wrought pipe demand has
grown steadily. The Riverside pipe
works at Wheeling is to be started VI

EAST CHICACO MAN
BEHAVED VERY BADLY

Whiting Ind. Feb. 22.--Mrs. Kath-
crime Bayer of East Chicago has taken
out a warrant in Judge Atchisons
court in Whiting. for John Skolko, also
of East Chicago. charging him with
felonious and violent assault. Skolko
who is a blacksmith helper in the
East Chicago round house. has been a
boarder at the Bayer home at 149th
street and Wegg avenue. East Chicago.
The night that the assault is said to
have taken place, Mrs. Bayer confessed
that the crowd consisting of her hus-
band. boarders and herself had been
drinking rather freely and it was while
the rest of the company were enga ged
in playing cards. that the event took
place for which Mrs. Bayer thinks she
needs -Adress.
Constable Muller has been to East
Chicago several times to serve the
warrant on cc<olko. but has every time
failed to locate him. According to his
friends he is hiding and all efforts to
reveal his hiding place have proven
futile
Mrs Bayer feels that only money
will help TO soothe her injured feelings.
She told Judge Atchison that Stolko
had agreed to settle with her for $50,
but for nothing less than 5000 would
she fail to prosecute Stolko. To Con-
stable Muller and Judge Atchison 1t
appears that the Bayers are merely af-
ter some of Stolko's wealth Accord
ing to Mrs. Bayer she came from the
same place in Europe that Stolko did
and knows positively that he has
property there. II he will give her a
5000 check she will drop all prosecu-
tions, and put a lien on the property.
An effort will be made again by Con-
stable Muller to locate Stolko. who ac-

Burns. THE price was named by the
members Of the legislature. Marked
money was given to the members. and

AUTO MAKES RECORD TRIP

Distance Was Covered in Nine Hours Actual Rum

Covering 247.7 miles through city streets

minutes may rot seem fast time to some
automobile owners. However, let them
average better than twenty-five miles an
hour for tn distance. as did S. A. Lut-

checked in at the finish line. Fourteenth

the fastest elapsed running time ever

the officials ire more stringent in en-

country Mr. Luttrell had to call on his
Packard to do anywhere from forty

such good time is the best evidence pos
sible of the way the machine responded.
OF late there has been more or less
discussion around the city among auto
owners as to how fast they could make
the trip from the metropolis to this city.
Some claimed that they had done II in
