COMMENCEMENT DAY.

The Polish Catholic school held com
mencement exercises yesterday. the
occasion also celebrating Father Stach-
owiak's names day, which occurs this
week.
While there were but two gradu-
ates from the eighth grade. the event
was significant as being the first since
the school was organized seven years
ago. when pupils ~assed from the
eighth grade preparatory to entering
the high school. There have been COM
mencements galore. but this by virtue
of the graduates is regarded as the
most important yet held.
The pupils who received diplomas
were Hedwig Gradkowska and Ladis-
laua Wachlarz. There were also diplo-
mas given for perfection in the Palm
er method. the recipients being besides
the two eighth grade graduates. Thorn
as Wegrzyn. Joseph werbila. venclaus
Karp. Mary Durlak. Victoria Stanis-
lawska. Sophie Kielbasa, Mary Kiel-
hasa. Victoria Fiedorowicz. Irene Ke-
kish. Anna Simon. Therese zurawska
and Constancia Kropatzewska.
The entertainment opened with sew
eral numbers by the children, such
as songs, drills. recitations and selec-
lions by the parochial brass band
Afterwards drama entitled The
Death of the Martyr Aquilina, was
presented by the pupils. Then aFther
Stachowiak spoke to the graduates and
gave out the diplomas. The graduates
received bouquets from their friends
and Father Stachowiak was also CIV
en- beautifE' flowers
The hall was crowded, every seat be-
ing occupied and many standing. 1t
is estimated that the audience number
ed at least 500. The exercises were
most creditable. showing good training
of the children by the sisters and the
priest in charge of the school. The
latter will continue in session until
week from next Friday.
Two weeks from yesterday thirty
children of the school will make their
first solemn communion at impressive
services

TENDER
1t has long been the dream of the
Lithuanians of Indiana Harbor to pos
sess a church of their own. Early last
fall they formed the nucleus of a
church organisation and with the con-
sent of Father Stachowiak of the Pol
ish Catholic church they began to hold
services in his church. They have
since been busy raising the money for a
building of their own, with what sue
cess may be imagined by the splendid
building that is now in process of con-
struction in their name Besides the
church the building which is to be Of
brick and stone, will contain four class
rooms, sufficient to take care of 200
children. At present there are about
100 children whose parents long to

edge of the country in which gave them

HOBART BOOSTS
FOR FIRE MOTOR

Hobart. Gary's next door neighbor,
which is the largest town territorially
in Indiana, has made such progress that
it is now considering having a motor
driven fire department. like Gary and
East Chicago.
The purchase of a chemical motor
truck is being considered, says the Ho-
bart Gazette. which prints:
"A movement is on foot for the pur-
chase blythe town of a chemical motor
truck. which will probably be a realiza-
ton before many months. The fire de-
partment has considered the propo-
sition for some time and the matter has
been unofficially considered by the
town board and we understand both or
CARNATIONS are favorabfy inclined
towards such an investment. A fire
apparatus of that kind is badly needed
by the department to consistently fight
fire in outlying districts. Hobart is
large in area and only about one-seven-
teenth of the territory Is under fire
protection The remaining sixteen
seventeenths are paying taxes for the
maintenance OF the fire department yet
no protection. or practically none. can
be given in time of fire. There is only
one side to the proposition and reason
and justice is on that side. which ia
vors the purchase of such apparatus
as it will give the best protection pos
sible outside the town water supply
A chemical motor truck will provide
much protection or about as good as
can be given. Hobart has good roads
in every direction and a motor truck
could be. sent within a few minutes to
a fire in any part of the town and many
a fire in time of starting can be ex-
tinguished by chemicals. Then. too.
the truck would carry a string of hose
and could be of aid at any fire with
. IN rthe water supply.'

CAUGHT BETWEEN
CARS. THEN DIES

AS the result of injuries sustained
when he caught and crushed be-
tween the bumpers of two freight cars
near the Erie Station in Rochester
about / O'Clock Saturday afternoon.
Dan Moran of Huntington, a brake
man, well known in Hammond died at
Woodlawn Hospital an hour and half
later. He was conscious to the end.
Moran dropped to the rails after being
crushed and would have been run over
had not NJ. A. Newell of Athens, an
other brakeman. dragged him out.
Newell barely escaped being caught.
Moran's body was crushed almost to a
pulp about the waist The engineer,
William H. Willets of Huntington, was
eating lunch at a restaurant. and the
fireman. John Madden OF Huntington,
was doing the switching. Moran's
mother and two sisters came from
Huntington on the first train. The ac-
cident was caused by a misunderstand-
ing of signals.

A GREAT GAME.

Nothing is impossible and the Gary
team proved this yesterday when it lit
on the Chicago Normals, a so-called
baseball team. and walloped them to a
finish, collecting twenty-seven runs to
the Norma1s' four In eight innings.
The Gary team refused to take their
last turn at bat. Very generous.
Kelly was the pitcher for the Nor
mails and the locals got to him for thir-
teen runs in four and half innings.
An outfielder, Wood by name, went in
to twirl and was squelched beneath
an avalanche of fourteen runs in the
time remaining. Wood would be a
pitcher if he could, but he needs prac-

FIRE AT HARBOR.

The Indiana Harbor fire department
was called out in response to alarm
from the building at 1895 Michigan
avenue early Sunday morning. The
firemen found the basement of the
building under the Harbor fruit store
in flames and before 1t could be ex-
tinguished about $3.50 worth of dam
age to the building had been done.
This is fully covered by Insurance.

NEW .RECTORY

The Polish Catholic church at Indi-
ana Harbor is putting up a splendid
new rectory at the corner of 139th and
Cedar streets. for the use of it's pastor,
Rev Stachowiak. the structure TO cost
$4,000. Incidentally they have moved
the old rectory about five lots below
the corner. in order to allow the new
building to occupy its former site, and
are to remodel it as a convent for the
sisters In charge of the parochial
school This is necessary owing to the
proposed enlargement of the school
which has quite outgrown it's present
quarters embracing four class rooms,
and will require the space formerly
given over to the sisters for their
home, to be transformed into two addi-
tional class rooms. The moving of the
old rectory and its remodeling will
cost about $1,000.
The foundation for the new rectory
is already about completed and it is
expected the building will be ready for
occupancy early next fall. probably in
September, as the school term will
open then.
The structure is to be pressed brick
with stone trimming. and will be two
stories and basement. 1t will be an
imposing looking building, with a
proch of brick and concrete. 1t will
contain sixteen rooms. nine rooms up
stairs and seven down. The heating
plant will be the hot water variety
and the building will be electric lighted
throughout, and altogether it Will be
provided with all the modern conven-
fences and improvements. The trim
will be black oak. in mission design.
