HOOKS PIERCE HIS ARM
AS LAD BUMPS A MAN
Youngster Is Terrified Until He
Learns They Serve as Hands
for a Cripple.

Eleven-year-old Robert McDermott of
No. los Willis avenue. the Bronx,
thought the 'bogy man OF his earlier
childhood had got him when he ran
against a man last night on tho steep
incline leading from the Wills Avenue
Bridge and felt two sharp hooks enter
his flesh.
Frightened, ne fell 20 the ground.
There he lay for a m and then
the hooks seized him-gently this time
and drew him to his feet. At about the
same time he became aware OF the fact
that a hndly-faced man was leaning
over him and extending his arm. which
terminated IN little hooks. Then the
boy understood nearly as well as dh
Policeman Dolan. after the man had
explained.
II seems that the man who had come
.3to contact with the running boy was
William Hunter Of No. l2G Wills avenue.
He IS a swltchman and four years ago
was in a railroad accident which cos,
him both arms. Wooden arms ending In
hooks enable him 20 throw the switch

half stumbled he tried TO lift the boy 10
his feet but the hooks punctured the

GARY BOLT & SCREW
CO. STARTS MARCH IS

President II. s Norton of the Gary
Commercial club today received a let
ter from the general offices of the
Pittsburg Bolt and Screw company at
Pittsburg that its Indiana subsidiary.
the Gary Bolt & Screw Co.. will place
its Gary factory in operation at no lat
er date than March 15
One thousand men will be employed
by the new industry. which is located
in the east Side of Gary. along the
Wabash railway tracks and Just west
of Miller.
Gary Must Furnish Labor.
The communications states that the
company will send skeleton force
from Pittsburg, but Gary will be de-
pended upon to furnish the bulk of the
labor supply. Many women and girls
will be employed and the latter, the
letter states, will be paid from IS to
$40 week. Much of the skilled help
will be trained in Gary, and many
skilled mechanics are to be employed.
Factory buildings of the company,
which were erected at a cost of $1,000,
900. are completed and the installation
of the first machinery has started.
To Buy Gary steel.
In June, 1910, the bolt and screw
company purchased its factory site
from the steel trust. At the time. 1t
was announced that the heavy demand
for bolts, nuts, screw and cogs neces-
stated the opening of a factory in the
west, and Gary was selected as the
site.
Although an independent company,
the bolt and screw company will pur-
chase its steel from the billet mill de-
partment of the Gary works of the
United States Steel Corporation. Rail-
way connections have been completed
between the factory. the steel works
and Kirk clearing yards.

MRS. IRELAND
VERY SICK
Especial to THE TIMES. )


East Chicago, Ind. Dec 81. - Mrs.
John 5. IRELAND is dangerously sick at
her home, corner of 148th street and
White Oak avenue. She was taken
down about week ago with what ap-
peared TO be a severe cold. 1t soon be-
came apparent that she was suffering
from grip, and yesterday the physi-
clans attending her were fearful that
she might not recover. Mrs. J. d. Will
iiams. daughter. was summoned to
her bedside from Laporte and she and
her youngest daughter. Mrs. Huber.
wife of Judge Huber of Gary, have
been with her almost constantly
Mrs. Reiland, who is SO years of age
sustained a severe trial to her strength
a short while ago when she nursed her
husband through a very severe spell
of Illness. She has never been quite
herself since her husbands recovery
and her relatives and friends are very
ANXIOUS over her chances for recoy-
cry, owing to the condition in which
her present Illness found her.
Mr.. and Mrs. Reiland have more
friends in and around East Chicago

and D. f. Boone will make their argu-.
ments for the defense.
Attorney Samuel Parker will close
for the state. He is expected to make
the great plea for the state. A plea
for the cleaning up of Gary and the
conviction that will make possible the
Improvement of political conditions
there. Each of the four lawyers Will
be given an hour and a half for their
arguments.
The case is expected to go to the
jury at about o'clock. and it is ex-
pected that verdict will be returned
before bed tire The opinion In Crown
Point seems TO be that there Will be a
conviction in this case.
Attorney d. e. Boone has made
magnificent night, but the evidence is
said to have been conclusive that
no one in Crown Point expects any
thing but a verdict of guilty. Though
many. of course. look for a disagree
ment and the betting seems to be about
even.
Court adjourned yesterday at 2:3o
after a strenuous weeks trial and the
attorneys on both sides were instruct
ed to prepare instructions to be SUBJ
mitted to the court for submission to
the jury.
After the court passed the in
struetions and they were read to the
jury each side was given three hours
for their arguments.
The jurymen are beginning to show
signs of being weary of the case. and
the conffnemeht under which they
have been placed is telling on them.
The afternoon session yesterday wa,
devoted to picking up the loose ends
of the case Nothing of real impor-
lance transpired. All of the testimony
was merely corroborative.
The test imony of Cashier Fitzsim-
mons of the Michigan Avenue Trust
company, Chicago. placed Gibson in a
bad light. for Mr.. Fitzsimmons testi-
fed that he gave one key TO Dean and
one to Gibson and that Gibson re-
ceipted the lock box card City Clerk
Moose testified as to Gibson's hand
writing and identified it. Characte,
witnesses for Dean were put on tht
, stand in rebuttal and made good i'm
, preston.

DEFECTIVE RAIL
SALES CONTINUE
SAYS GAZETTE

The Railway Age Gazette in it's cur
rent issue of December 10. in editorial
form, makes many surprising asser-
lions in regard to the quality of rails
used in the readbed of-American rail-
ways The article has created excite
ment among the high officials and rail
experts OF the various lines.
The Gazette says: Railway men con-
tinue to complain that they are not
getting good fails. Some say. that the
rails that they are receiving now are a
little. though not much, better than
those they were receiving a few years
ago. Others positively declare that the
good that bought a few years ago.
questionably is that IL there has been
any Improvement since the agitation
and negotiations about the rail ques-
much less than it ought to be, and that
most of the rails being made now. fall
far short of being such as safe opera
ton requires"
John d. Isaac. consulting engineer OF
the Hartman lines, an acknowledged
expert on the question. says. 4 do not
wish to go into controversy with tn.
editor of the Railway Age Gazette. but
differ with him in many of his state
ments and others are merely insinua
tions against the roads and the steel
companies. 1t is true that the rails are
not al we would like to have them. but
that is the fault of neither company
rather the result of a lack of perfec
| ton for which both are striving"

SMALL ROBBERY

Abraham Lincoln Buckley, a negro
of nineteen years, who has already
served several sentences in Jail, is
again under arrest charged with rob
berry from a store. Buckley, or as he
prefers to be known, A. B. Joseph,
was only released from prison a
month ago but this morning he went
into a Japanese store in King street
near Liliha street, broke open the till
and stole it's contents, $1.75. He was
apprehended by Chief Detective Nc
Duties men. He was highly indig-
nant when called Buckley, evidently
wishing to have better chance than
"Buckleys," and he did not want to
be labelled with such high-sounding
cognomen as Abraham Lincoln Buck
ley. What he wanted was Joseph.
That was his fathers name, he said,
and he had given that always, though
the records showed different.

PARADE
ARRANGEMENTS

Director wall has appointed as
marshal Of the Floral Parade Arthur
NJ. Brown, with Charles f. Chilling
worth as Assistant marshal Both
Mr.. Brown and Mr. Chillineworth
have had experience in this kind OF
work IN former parades, which is suf-
hoient guarantee that the parade will
be handled in first class order.
1t is possible that there may be a
number of changes this year in the
line of march and in the manner Of
formation 1t has been suggested by
several that the start could be made
by the formation of the parade on
Palace square, with the various COM
ponent organizations resting on King,
Richards and Merchant streets.
1t has also been proposed to put
the automobile section in the rear Of
Of the horses and foot sections of the
parade, in order that the whole may
be kept intact and not scattered ov-
er the entire line of march as has
been the case in former parades OBJ
| lection, however, VIII probably be
made to this proposal by the auto
mobile owners on the ground that the
motor cars can not be run on sucn
slow speed without injury to the en-
gines.
The matter of policing the streets
and keeping the street cars from
breaking the formation are matters
which still receive the attention Of
Director Wall and his committees
but will probably be settled in a very
short time, since everybody concern
ed is anxious that the parade shall
be held under the most auspiciou;
circumstances.
The Fifth Cavalry, which it was re.
Gently learned had cause for com
plant with reference to the policinl
of the streets and interference from
street cars and automobiles while their
march was in progress, has beer
practically guaranteed that this trou
BILE will not occur this year.
: Sheriff Jarrett states that he con
templates no difficulties whatever il
protecting the paraders from tn,
crowds Of sight-seers. He explains
some of the difficulties of last yea
by the fact that a considerable por
ton of his force had TO be withdraw
that day to the waterfront, to taxi
care of threatened trouble with tn,
Russian immigrants, he himself no
being able to spare the time to eyel
see the parade.

JACK NO. ONE
LANDS HIS ENEMY

Jack No, 1, a negro who has the
Unenviable record of the longest list
of convictions for drunkenness at the
police court, was present in court this
morning in an unusual capacity for
him. He was there as complaining
witness against John Manoua, who
he alleged, had assaulted him. Ma
noua made no bones about admitting
the assault. Jack, he said had blam-
ed him for the loss of a five-spot,
which he had not taken, and Jack
had struck him in the stomach,
knocking him into puddle of water.
This Manoua resented and he went
for his assailant as soon as he re-
gained his feet again. But Jack
would not fight and after being felled
with blow on the jaw Jack lay down
and would not get up. Then Manoua
began to administer a Kicking to the
prostrate man, only stopping when
"a mounted policeman happened along
Jack appeared in court with his head
swathed in bandages, through which
the blood showed, ana in his hand
he carried a tooth, evidence of the
force of Manoua's right hand. Ma
noua was covered in mud and looked
as though his involuntary bath had
been thorough dne. Both were
under the influence of liquor during
the squabble though they were sober
enough this morning. Manoua was
sentenced to thirty DAVIS tail Jack
looked as though he had been severe
ly beaten, and he had to be treated a
the hospital.
