AUTHORITIES BELIEVE THAT

new DAM PLANS At
PARK ARE FINISHED
Presented to the Commercial
Club by Engineer Muel-
ler-a Large Lake.

Plans and specifications for the pro-
posed dam at North Seventeenth
street which will effectively dam up
the river making the Hawkins lake
possible. We're presented to the Com
mercial club this morning by Engi-
need John Mueller of New Castle.
Because IL was believed by a local
ice company that under the original
plans a portion of its ground would be
covered it was necessary for new
plans TO be prepared. The new plans
will be accepted, il is expected. by the
Commercial club committee which has
the matter in charge
The water at the dam will be fif-
teen feet deep and will be deeper in
other places about the lake. Ii will
be deep enough in all places about
the shores for small boats to navi-
gate. According to the specifications
the lake will be nearly a mile long
and approximately a quarter OF a mile
wide.
1t is expected that the members of
the committee which will have charge
of the distributing of lots will regu-
late the kind and quality of cottages
which are to be constructed about the
lake Other rules relative to sanitary
conditions will be regulated.
Those in charge are very much en-
Unused and encouraged concerning the
project and believe the park and lake
will be valuable asset to the city. A
larger Chautauqua will be held here
next year than ever because of the
more suitable grounds which will be
afforded. II the lake becomes as pop
ular as it's stockholders believe it will.
canoe clubs will probably be formed.
Contractor Isaac Smith has obtained
copy of the plans and will regulate
his work accordingly. Work will be
started toward the completion of the
dam as soon as the weather will per-

cused him of insulting Mrs. DOYLE and
demanded $3.50 as settlement for the

money. At that time Doyle and his
wife were preparing to move to the

CROWD COURT FOR
FINAL ARGUMENTS
Attorney for Carl Fisher Says
He Only Played Old
Adam and Eve Game"
(National News Association

(National News AsSociation)
INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 3.-Miss Ger
trude Hassler, soloist and plaintiff in
the 100000 breach of promise case
against Carl Fisher, the millionaire
Speedway promoter, leaned back with
closed eyes while Attorney Young
this forenoon refreshed the juror s
recollection of her courtship with
Fisher. The court room was packed
with spectators, mostly women. Ex-
ira police were necessary to keep or
der in the court, while hundreds of
disappointed citizens were obliged to
content themselves by witnessing the
proceedings through the glass doors
in the corridors. The court warned the
spectators against demonstrations and
ordered the sheriff and police to eject
all offenders.
Carl Fisher is not the first man to
pull off this Adam and Eve game"
said Mr.. Young, in opening his argu-
ment. He does not look like a man
who would let a woman one year older
than himself seduce him. The import
ant issue in this case is, were the
couple engaged to be married? This
woman has been frank and open in
her testimony.
"A business man does not write let
ters every day and call on a girl fifty
times unless madly infatuated"
The jurors are being kept under
guard and will be taken to lunch at
restaurant. The case will probably be
placed IN their hands late this after
noon. ri
