had a thrilling experience in his effort
to take DoJon into custody.
He walked into the Gary postoffice
and placing his hand on Dojons
shoulder he informed him that he was
under arrest. Dojon resisted and in a
few minutes the other foreigners in the
Office made a rush at the officer and
tried to take the prisoner away from
him.

1t became necessary for Rankin to
draw his gun and stand off the crowd.
II 1t had not been for the assistance OF
Hubert Highlands 1t is probable that
Rankin would have had some difficulty
in taking HIS prisoner. Rankin said af-
forwards that this was the first expert
ence hex had had with foreigners and
that he would know how to handle a
case like that in the future.
Dojon has been arrested before on
the same charge. 1t as this case in
which I Leon Gould is alleged to have
charged SIS for his services and a
result was arrested by Dojon on the
charge OF extortion. Gould is now ap
pearing against Dojon In this case and
as meter of revenge is doing all he
can to have him prosecuted.
When Dojon was arrested he paid back
the $30 that he had secured on the
order, to ostrnaster Call and thought he
was immune from prosecution by the
Federal authorities.
The warrant for Dojon's arrest was
sworn out by John N Hunter of South

TROUBLE
IN STRIKE

That the period of quietness in the
building strike II an Ill omen of de-
velopments Of a serious nature which
are to occur later ON was evidenced
today. when II was declared that n
wrecking crew, whose headquarters are
in the vicinity of Sfxty--third street and
Wentworth avenue, Chicago, is prepar-
ing to enter Gary with nm effort to
cause trouble.
For the past two weeks there has
been no Developments in the strike
situation, and the union men, it is said
have been content to do picketing and
use persuasion among the non-union
men who have entered the field with
the view of influencing them to leave
Gary. In this they have been success
full to some extent. but since the in
fiux OF a large number of non-union
men their plans have been defeated.
and it is said that they are now about
to use other tactics.
One of the first plans of the wreck
ing crew was to send representatives
to Gary who secured the time of entry
and departure OF every train that left
Gary on each OF its railroads and in
terurban lines. This information which
is of value to the invaders, has been
secured and the arrival of the BODY of
men whose duty 1t is to make trouble
is looked for at any time.
The nature of these secret move
ments has been brought to the notice
of the local safety board and they are
duly prepared to cope with any vio-
lence which may result.

Not long ago the commercial clubs of
this region took up the matter of
sanitary district. and appointed COM
mittees to get together with view of
arriving at some definite conclusion re-
garding it. The committees met but
decided that each city would best look
after it's own sewage problem.
Mr.. Brewster pointed out that this
would be a poor arrangement, RESULT
ing only in increased cost of the
original plants required. and in trebling
the expense of maintenance. This
would make it so expensive to each
community, that it would be a burden
to the taxpayers to install and main
tain efficient systems
He pointed out the fact that whether
the cities interested ever united in one
municipality or not, they would be so
built up as to eventually converge.

A common plant would cost but it'll =

three cities together could support such

Crown Point Is afraid that If the Lake

Charges and counter-charges have

perate his strength by long ocean
voyage over parts of the seas which
are usually unyisited by storms is I'M
doubtedly true and that the transpor-
tation of both freight and passengers
will be very great in time must be
admitted, but to build up this traffic
will take time, for only gradually will
the present routes be neglected for the
advantages of the new.
This refers more to the oversee
traffic, with which the United States
is only indirectly concerned, than to
the intercoasting trade, which is
solely the concern of this country. In
to this transportation will enter many
! ships now built and others still to be
constructed. AS the advantages of
water transportation become known,
the bulk of the freight from coast
to coast will pass through the Pana-
ma Canal. Such an event can hardly
harm the railroads very much at first
and ought to increase their business
ultimately. The ports of call must
to large extent, act as loading sta
lions for the materials which the rail
roads have assembled there and tn,
cargoes the vessels bring must be re
, distributed by rail There will be
change of routes and direction of flow
of freight movements and more freigh
moved, as there will be a more rapi,

1t is a national matter, but loca

( faith in their resolution, energy an
a ability. They are alive to the situa

FINANCIAL EFFECT ON PACIFIC
OF OPENING OF PANAMA CANAL

the Panama Canal will lessen the I'M
portance of San Francisco as a dis
tnbuting and assembling point for
Oriental cargoes. In the general in
crease of our trade that trade will
partake, but cannot see how the OPP
ening of the canal will influence It
either one way or the other. New
York will be in closer touch with the
Orient than before the canal opened,
and, while the canal will make a
change in the position and extent OF
the territory. which uses San Fran
cisco and the other coast ports, the
total of the trade will not change a
great deal.
The development of domestic ship
ping will undoubtedly be very great.
/ Freight is carried much more cheaply
/ by sea than by land, and on the av-
erage more quickly. The passenger
traffic through the canal will also be-
come Of very great importance. What
part the shipping of the Pacific coast
will play in this positive increase OF
transportation VIII depend on the ag
gressiOn, enterprise and resolution Of
our shipowners. They have only to
employ in the intercoast trade that
skillful application which has made
them so successful in the transporta-
ton business along our own coast.
In the intercoast trade the ship
owner of the West will have the same
chance that his rival of the East will
have. The coasters must go into thi!
trade direct, for the restrictions whicl
prevent the foreign steamers from en-
tering the coastal trade are not oper
, alive against, American ocean-gOinl
ships, so that our loyal coasters woul,
, derive no benefit from the operation
, of large Eastern owned vessels in the
| intercoast trade. 1t will be necessar
