East Chicago, Ind, May 10
While fishing from a small motor
boat in the canal this morning Carl
Olsen found the body of man float
ing on the water near the new E. ].
& E. bridge.
Burns and McGuan were notified
and on examining the effects in the
clothing of the body they identified
the dead man as Jacob Myers. Com

the fact that man by that name
and living in Olcott avenue. had been
reported missing since Tuesday and

Mr.. Barnard for instance. points to
the fact that the Hammond Glue works
is one of the worst offenders" said
Mayor ~Sma1ley. "Hammond's position
in this matter may be better under
stood when it is remembered that the
factory is located in Illinois territory
and that we have no jurisdiction there.
l know of no Hammond corporation
that is defling the waters of the river
to any serious extent. Mr.. Barnard is
quoted as saying that the Standard Oil
works pours its dumpage into the riv-
er. This is erroneous as the Standard
is situated on the lake at Whiting The
river in Hammond is in it's present
shape not for what is being dumped
in now, but for what has been dumped
in in the past. he opening of the Sag
channel and the dee opening of the river
will. / believe, remedy this.
While in Washington recently
where I tried to get some information
regarding the prospects for action by
the war department in deepening and
widening the river, | got the impress
sion that some action will be taken by
the next congress. Hammond alone is
helples in the matter"

The decision is great victory for
the citizens committee, headed by Carl
Bauer. and now places the school board
squarely up against the proposition of
taking one two alternatives.
1. Appeal from the decision OF Special
Judge Pattee and fight the matter in
the upper courts solely in the inter-
ests of Caldwell & Drake. thereby de-
laying the construction of the school
for two three years; or
2. Make the best of a bad mess. Re
advertise for bids. Give all of the
contractors another chance ard assure
the early completion of the much-need-
ed building.
An idea of the sweeping character of
the decision may be had from the fol-
lowing syllabus of the courts decision:
Points Won by Citizens.
/. The school board has no right to
move the old building for the reason
that another site has not yet been pur-
chased
2. The school board cannot issue
bonds without giving a different no.
tice.
8. The school board has no right to
sell the present Central school property
under the circumstances.
4. The school board would exceed the
2 per cent limit authorized by law if it
carried out its contract with Cald-
we'll g. Drake.
5. The school hoard has not enough
money to start the building for; under
a decision in the supreme court of
Pennsylvania a CONTRACT is q debt as
soon as it is entered into 2
6. The school board or a city the size
of Hammond has no authority under
the law to build a manual training
school.
Point Won by school Board.
l. The school board did not have to
get the consent of the city council to
enter into the contract with Caldwell &
Drake.
Judge Pattee stated that he is con-
vinced that the city of Hammond needs
a school of the character that has
been proposed, but he said that 1t has
no right under the law to build one.

WHERE rs
EARLY FROST?

With eleven dead from the excessive
heat of the last week, today opened
hot as ever. Fatalities and many pros
trations were regarded as inevitable
The police received early reports of
people being overcome. and the day was
faced with great apprehension.
One redeeming feature-the low hu-
midity-prevented the list of heat vic
Tins from being much larger. Not un-
til tomorrow afternoon will the heat 8
fatal grip on the district be loosened.
Then, according to the ideas of fore
casters, thunder shows likely will
come. and Lake county will be given a
breathing spell.

The burglars gained entrance to the

A FIRE BUG.
Daring Attempt Made to Set Fire
to Benelield's Feed Store.

An attempt was made to burn
ene6eld's Feed Store on Walnut
Street Monday night, but fortuna.
tely was discovered or the entire
block may have been destroyed by
fire about midnight, by means of a
small box almost equal to ~ in

let down by string from the up.
per floor through a stove fue hole,
not in use, and set on the lower
floor in d small inlet among high
stacked hay, This box held a
lighted candle set on a piece OF
sawed fat pine board some three
inches square, set in the bottom OF
the box, held in place by several
nails and surrounded by pine sha-
wings, ADD an old piece ofthin iron
on top of the box, aud wrapped on
the outside Of the box was Mon

The store is usually closed be-
fore dark by Mr., b. J Benefited
and when he reached home late
order had been received for feed at
the store on Line Street by his son,
T., O Benefited, who came down
TO the feed store with wagon and
driver to fill this order and while
the driver was loading the wagon
be noticed small light at the
back of the store in the hay and
stepping back to investigate, found
this box as stated The box had
wire fastened to each side and at
tached to the wire was a Irvine
string that ran up through the
stove ilue hole almost above where
it had been let down during the
short time between closing of the
store and reopening to fill this
delayed order, just about dusk.
Mr.. e O Benefited Immediately
phoned Sheriff w. b. Stallcup,
who came tothe scene toinvestigate
1t was undoubtedly a dastardly at
tempt made to burn out Benefited &
store and all in that block, as the
piece Of candle was about six
inches long and would have burnt
to the bottom about mldnight
The room above the store has no
outlet in the store and was not
used, but opens into an unused
building which ran across the
back and by that means the party
or parties who did the deed had
access. The box was made from
some pieces of thin packing
board which had recently been
thrown out of the back door Of
Torrans Manufacturing Co.'S. store,
and was undoubtedly the work Of
an expert, There are various ru.
mors, but no definite clue as to
the miscreant, and 1T is mystery
as to who or what instigated such a
deed.
