FAVORS
NIGHT SCHOOLS

The Commercial club of Indiana Har-
Dor and East Chicago has gone on rec
ord as favoring night schools in the
Twin cities, so declaring in resolution
adopted at last nights meeting. Not
only does the club approve of night
schools, but 1t approves of a more adj
vanced course of instruction than has
hitherto been observed, and RECON-
mends that next year technical course
and instruction in higher mathematics
be introduced.
The matter was brought to the at
tention of the club by letter from II.
a. Carpenter. pastor of the Christian
church who explained that he had talk
en- a petition signed with forty names
requesting the opening OF night school
in the Twin Cities. before the board of
education but 1t had been turned down,
and asking the support of the club to
carry out the project.
| The letter was referred to the COM
mittee on Education. consisting of Sup
erintendent of schools E. n. Canine
Fred Fish. a member of the board OF
education and ]. c. Dickson. Last
night the committee reported to the
club that when Mr.. Carpenters petition
reached the board of education 1T was
too late to accomplish much by tn.
opening of the night schools. Thai
Ipast experience had taught the board
| of education that 1t does rot pay tt
! conduct night classes unless opened
early in the year and that had the Pc
tition been presented In the fall, 4
would undoubtedly have meet with
Favorable consideration.
Discussion which followed the read.
ling of the report led to the suggestion
that the night schools might be better
tpatronized by boys and young men wht
have had the advantages of the publ,
schools through the eighth grade, /
Imore advanced branches, and technica
subjects were taught, instead of being
patronized almost exclusively by for
eigners whose main object is to acquir,
a knowledge of English
| Resolutions were then introduced
making these suggestions a recon
lmendation. and also reccommendin;
the early opening of the night schools
next fall. The resolutions wer'
adopted.

either and his family has thus been
compelled to exist without his assist
ance.
Last night DR.. Doolitt1e was called to
the Hillyer home on Clark street and
found things to be in an awful plight
The mother was very i'll and a little
three-year- old girl has the pneumonia
After making the call the physician in
formed the police that the family. con-
sisting of the mother and five chill
dren. were both starving and freezing,
as they had nothing to eat in the house
or no coal with which to make a fire.
The police took coal enough over to
last the family until today, when the
case will be taken up by the authori-
ties
1t is said by several who know the
family that Mrs. Hillyer has battled
bravely to keep the family together
trying her best to send them all to
school to give them an education, and
was always in hopes that her husband
would see the error of his WAYS and
come home again to his wife and chill
dren and give them the necessities OF
life. Her health is beginning to tell OF
the struggle she has been endurine
through the long cold winter and is
now considerably broken down.
The case will be referred to the an
thorities today. but 1t is not known yet
| just what will be done.

RAILROAD SURVEYORS
VISIT INDIANA HARBOR

Surveyors for the Pennsylvania COM
pany have been in and around Indiana
Harbor the past few days marking out
the lines of their rights of way in this
vicinity. The surveyors are in charge
of Fred Norland and have been at work
almost all winter through North town
ship, setting their monuments and
stalking out their rights of way and
other properties.
For long time the local officials of
the railroad company have been after
the eastern contingent to extend their
switching facilities and occupy the
rights of way owned by them but I'M
equipped with tracks 1t was pointed
out that this extension was needed In
order to meet the opportunities pre-
scented by the growth and development
of the region. 1t was also pointed out
that other railroads were getting busi-
ness that might go to the Pennsylvania
company were the latter in a position
TO handle 1t. There was a possibility
that some of the rights OF way owned
| by the company might be encroached
upon by other roads and by private in
terests, and it was necessary that the
| railroad ascertain Just where It stood
| In regard to this matter.
Fences are being built as rapidly as
/ 1T is possible to construct them and II
/ is expected that rails will be laid over
| many of the strips as yet unoccupied
1 preparatory to utilizing the rights Of
way

MISTREATS FAMILY.
Whiting Man Deserves Swift
Punishment for This.
Especial to THE TINES }

Whiting, Ind, March 22.-That Theo-
dore TIillyer had not made good his
promise to Mayor Parks by taking care
of his family was again made evident
last night, when they were found not
only cold and hungry, but also sick.
About two months ago Hiliyer was
arrested on complaint of his wife,
charging him with desertion. Hillyer
was found at Morocco, Ind, and Ser
geant Collins went there, placed him
under arrest and brought him back to
face the charges. When arraigned for
trial Mayor Parks imposed a Jail SEN
tence and fine upon the deserter, but
it would be suspended on one condition.
If he promised to move his family
where he was and support them his
honor would call it square. but he was
given a limited time to act and he
must have made good by Feb /. or
take his medicine. Hillyer has not done

day morning in which the entire bust

been rife as to who to blame for
the lack of proper fire lighting facili-
ties. Three agencies are blamed-the
city council. the Crown Point Electric
company and the people of Crown Point
themselves. The city council comes in
for its share OF reprimand on account
OF its alleged Indifference TO the situa-
tion. This, however Is far fetched as
the matter was freely discussed at the
council meeting on Wednesday night
and the water committee ordered to in
vestigate conditions. The council has
been particularly alive TO some of the
defects in the water works system and
the members have spent unlimited time

Electric company also Games In for It's
share of censure by the citizens. which
is in a measure unwarranted, according
to the officials statements. A new man
had been stationed at the job only the
evening before and being unfamiliar
with the plant. did not turn on the
pressure as soon as a more experienced
man in the plant might have done. The
citizens themselves are also blamed 1t
having been proved beyond doubt
that they. without number have left
the water taps flowing all night in or
der to escape frozen water pipes To
this fact alone Is laid the greatest rea-
son for the censure of the citizens. The
practice was kept up all winter by
some and has been the means OF I'M
necessarily depicting the water in the
standpipa and placing the city at the
mercy of the flames. as was experienced
yesterday morning Possibly OF the
three interested parties could get to-
gether the council could pay a trife
