state as we'll as other states. There
must, therefore, be established a uni
form system of accounting. Such &C.
counting should show in detail the
financial and operating experience Of
every plant. Under the present sys-
TEN it is impossible for one plant to
benefit by the experience of the other,
because there is no uniform system Of
computing the cost of operation, SO as
to determine net results. Wherever a
uniform system of accounting has
been established and reliable sta
tistical information furnished to the
various plants of the state, there has
always resulted a general improve
ment from the standpoint of efficiency
and economy. Today surprisingly few
plants know the exact cost Of their
own operation, much less that Of any
other plant, and the state can render
no greater service to the public at
large, as well as to the utilities them
selves, than to, establish uniform
system Of accounting and a bureau
for general statistical information. Y

RED LIGHT JURY
HAS DISAGREE MENT
Argument Wakes Warm in
Trial of Thirteen
Women.

Rumors that crept out of the room
where the jury that tried thirteen
women of the Gary red light" district
deliberated late yesterday afternoon
are to the effect that three of the
jurors almost came to blows with one
of the loud mouthed" members of the
panel. The jury disagreed, the vote 1t
three for guilty.
The case tried in the Gary city
court with Deputy Prosecutor Ralph
Ross representing the state and Attor-
ney Clarence Bretsch as counsel for
the dive denizens. The jury was made
up as follows: Roy G. Parry. George
McGinnity, A. d. Schaefer, c. N.
Palmer. L. Morris, Martin Schwartz.
Otto w. Dalyrmple. A. II. Bell, Harry
Rosen, Nick Danculovich. L. Morris
and e. II. Heilstedt.
No discrimination was used in Sc
lecting the jury. Juryman DalyrmpIe
stated that he owned a taxicab line
which furnished transportation to the
dive district but he was accepted re-
gardless of this. Another juryman
said that he was against dives but
this didn't worry any one. A city Off
cial and attorney also served on
the jury.

A HAPPY
REUNION

It was a happy family assembled at
1925 Olcott avenue last evening. the
home of Annie Newalana the little FIVE
year old girl for three days and nights
held a prisoner without food or
drink in the pantry of a vacant house
a block and a half from her home.
Annie's timely recovery just in the
nick of time, was the talk Of all East
Chicago yesterday and the home was
made the gathering place of friends
and neighbors of the reunited family.

little one was asleep on her bed when

was held a prisoner. AS he entered
the house he was aware of a plaintive
wall that sounded from the rear IF

but it refused to yield. the upper part
having become swollen and binding so
that 1T was necessary for him to strike
the door a number of blows with his
fist before 1t opened.
When 1T finally yielded and was
uung wide open, little form darted
by and out onto the street before the
agent for the house had recovered from
his establishment Down the street the
little trembling form fed. in the d.
rection of home. On her way she met
her grief-stricken father who was on
his way home after a fruitless search
of the banks of the canal.
The man swept the child into his
arms and shouting like crazy man
he dashed home and into, the house
and delivered the little one to her
mothers tender embraces
A neighbor woman who happened
into the city treasurers office told Of
the finding of the child who had been
though dead or kidnapped, and word
was sent at once to Chief Mccormick
who went to the house to learn the
details. He found the little girl lying
on the bed and advised the parents To
feed her very sparingly at first. as the
mistake of giving her toe much after
such long period of abstinence,
might end disastrously. In order that
no mistake of the kind be made, he
called in DIR. Raleigh Hale to attend
the child and advise her family TO
her diet.

and father of the missing child had

A NARROW ESCAPE.

David Lewis, of the Monarch Hard
ware company, Michigan and Pennsyl-
vania avenues, Indiana Harbor, had a
narrow escape from death last even
ing when he was caught in an explos-
ion of gas which blew out the front of
the store and shot Joe Tinker. a pet
dog. out through the iron trapdoors in
the sidewalk which were blown open
when the explosion occurred.
A leaking gas pipe caused the blow
up and the fire started by it damaged
the building and stock to the extent Of
about $1,000.
Mr. Lewis was thrown against the
furnace in the basement and stunned
for a moment but he managed to gath
er his dazed senses together and make
his way out of the building, without
further injury than a few bad bruises

ANOTHER
FINE BUILDING
FOR RARBOR

f. ID. Cornwell, architect, 1896 Michi-
gan avenue, Indiana Harbor. has re-
ceived an order to make plans and
specifications for alterations 10 two
story brick fiat and store building
Gently purchased by the Burns Pollock
Electric and Manufacturing company,
located at the corner of Michigan and
Block avenues The Improvement will
cost in the neigh borhood of $4,000.
The plans call for a three story
building covering all of the lot which
has a frontage of % feet on Michigan
and 120 feet on Block avenue.
The basement will be used for the
manufacture of the Burns Pollock
electric fixtures with the necessary
supply and storage rooms and will. it
is expected, extend under the side
walk, in which will be placed vault
lights to light the work rooms in the
day time The two upper floors will
be arranged for hotel purposes.
The manufacturing branch of the
business has grown to such proper
tons that it has out grown the present
small quarters and this will give the
firm one of the best equipped manu-
featuring shops of the kind In this sec
ton.
The first floor will be used as show
room, being divided up into small
rooms so that a customer can see his
fixtures as they will appear when
hanging in his apartments An office
and stock room win also be located
on this floor.
The demand for rooms has become
so great that Mr.. Burns, of the COM
pany has been convinced that another
hotel is a very much needed addition
to the city, and has therefore had the
second and third floors arranged for
| hotel purposes. There will be hot and
| cold running water in each and every
room, with clothes closet, medicine
| cases. and everything to make tho
| rooms the most home like and con-
venient rooms in the city. There will
also be the necessary bath rooms,
, toilets. and linen closets
| The interior will probably be finish
ed in hard wood, with hard wood
| floors.
The building will be of brick and
stone The addition will cost about
| $40, 600 and will be a needed improve
ment to this end of the city.
| 1t is expected to have the building
read for occupancy about the first OF
December with forty rooms.
