Hear of Possibility That
Line Is to Take New Route
Especial TO THE TInEsl

Crown Point, Ind, Nov. "A meetin z
between the officials of the indianapolis
& Meridian Interurban railroad and
prominent citizens in Crown Point was
held at the Commercial Hotel recently
in an effort to ascertain just what
chances there were for securing the
road for Crown Point. Since the partial
failures Of the promoters to get their
franchise in Gaty they have been look
ing elsewhere for routeto Chicago and
seem favorably impressed with Crown
Point. Mr.. SchaeffeF and others con-
nected with the road held a lengthy
conference with the Crown Point citi-
zens and reported they were very ia
vorably impressed with their new pre-
liminary survey to run the line from
Crown Point to Hammond thence to
Chicago.
Further inves tiga tion will be made
by the engineers and those financing
the proposition and things look bright
for a possible connection by an inter-
urban line between Crown Point and
Hammond and the north part of the
county. The hackers claim thew have
all the money necessary to build the
line and once their route is decided up
on there will be no delay in putting the
road in operation. Another meeting OF
those interested will be held in the
near future.

GRANGER EMPHATIC

Hammond to prevent property owners
from installing, or aiding in the work
of installing. all plumbing fixtures not
purchased from certain firms with
which the union is connected by agree

adopted, whose Interpretation Granger
believes to be absolute bar to per-
sonaI liberty in that il demands that
all work on plumbing fixtures be done
by master plumbers. the connecting
of pipes in which the city water is to
flow must also be done by union work
men.
Failure to prosecute the case of Geo.
Thrailkill charged with a violation of
this ordinance, is considered by the
defense which Granger represents to
be a decided admission that the case
was defeated before being brought to
trial.
This initial test of the application of
the application of the ordinance was to
have been. tried. before jury of twelve

ANY IDLE
WORKMEN
IN GARY? NO

1t took the cold freezing weather of
last night the sudden descent of cold
wind blasts from the lakes. and heavy
frost to bring out the truth whether
there are any idle workmen in Gary.
There is none.
A year a go when the first cold wave
arrived scores of men huddled around
the stoves in the south end saloons and
as many more were gathered in dugouts
and isolated box cars Fully half
hundred men applied at the police sta
ton for shelter.
But last night but three dodgers ask
ed for shelter.
A tour of the south end of Gary by a
TIMES reporter showed that there were
but few idlers.
All of which goes to show good in
dustri C conditions s. The winter delay
ed building operations are now on In
fun blast and all of the industrial
plants of the steel city are running
good. The fact that the steel works
alone has e,329 men on its payroll as
compared to 1900 a year go is in itself
a god Indicator of conditions.
1t is believed that this fall will be one
of the best in Gary and will even out

blasting had been done recently. but
the explosions had been small and at

The explosion occurred within half a

Dozens of physicians were called
from Joliet to go to the scene, il hav-
ing been reported that number of men

Vandal at Work.

Some time within the last week or
ten days the late residence of L. w.
simpson, PIG Plummer avenue, has been
entered and the culprft deliberately
stripped every electric light globe in
the house. including a number of light
shades The thief even went so far
as TO tear the electric light switches
from the walls and then went upstairs
where he entered a bedroom and tore
down an electric light fixture from the
ceiling which was carried away with
the spoils.
Mr.. Simpson is unable to understand
why they entered his home and de-
stroyed the fixtures and wiring, and
thinks the party that entered his home
is some one that held a grudge against
him.
1t is believed to be the meanest
piece of vandalism that has taken place
in Hammond in long time. Mr. Simp-
son moved out of his home on Plummer
avenue about two months ago and
thinks the deed was committed some
time in the past ten days.

A NARROW ESCAPE
Adventurous Worker Has
Thrilling Experience on

Dell Seabold, for whom dizzy heights
have no terrors, almost lost his life to-
day at the W. 3. Conkey plant While
he was about TO descend from the new
cement chimney which is being built
there under his direction. gliding down
a rope suspended for 10 feet in the
wall. he came to a frayed and almost
parted place in the rope. twenty feet
from the summit. BY clutching with
desperate strength he stopped himself
a few inches above. the treacherous
place, and if he had gone below it
would have caused his death on the
stone foundation, ninety feet below
Seabold swore compiacently at this
new affliction of fate and by great
exertion drew himself slowly but sure
ly to the top of the stack. where he
calmly awaited his helpers who had
left for dinner few moments before
his perilous adventure. When they ar
rived new rope was attached to the
disabled one and drawn up to be
placed securely His assistant was
pulled up BY helpers below and work
was resumed and the incident record

but 80 years old. has been connected

In Hong Kong, China, during the
Boxer uprising SeaboId and his ever
present assistant William Morgan,
camped without food or drink for thir-
tysix hours at the top of ninety-foot
stack. knowing that if they descended
