FATHER SAYS
SCHOOL IS
TO BLAME
Death of Girl Attributed by
Doctors to Disregard Of
Their Orders, But Father
Says She Received Concus-
sion as Result of Fall.

Little nine year old Barbara Cas-
parovich. the daughter of Joseph
Gasparovic the proprietor of a grocery
and market. 1856 Columbia avenue, in
Hammond. lies still in death. Her ia
ther says she is the victim of the lack
of supervision of the Fairgrounds at
the school buildings in Hammond.
The little girl is the only daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Gasparovic and the
parents are heart broken over their
loss. They have decided to take their
three sons out of school to prevent any
similar accident happening to them.
DR. William d. Weis, who attended
Barbara Gasparovich in her fatal ILL
ness. is not of the opinion of her fa-
ther that the death was caused by con-
cussion of the brain resulting from a
fall on the Fairgrounds of the Wallace
school.
DR.. H. c. Groman. who attended the
patient in the early stages of her i'll
ness, is of the same opinion as DR..
Weis. There is collateral testimony to
the effect that the death of the cnid
was due to the failure of the parents
to care for it according to the insruc-
tions of their physicians.
1t is further reported that the child
wanted to study all of the time and
that her death was due to nervous pros
tration. These facts from interviews
with physicians and others were
brought out by an investigation made
by the school authorities at the in
stigation of Fred Krost. one of the
board of trustees
According to the childs father.

ago. The little girl was swinging

CONTROL TO STEEL TRUST

Company. Other companies will soon
make similar sales tc the Interlake
Steamship Company. which is under
control of the same firm with he Pitts
burgh Steamship Company
The Pittsburgh Steamship Company
is the vessel end of the steel corpora
ton. and 1t seems probable that tho
independent companies are doomed.
Every vessel that can be obtained will
be used in the carrying down from tho
Superior region of the 5o,ooo,0oo tons
of ore expected to be used this year,
and the steel company is gathering IN
all the vessels possible. The great
number of vessels being built In Lorain
for the Pittsburgh Steamship Company
attests this-the last of three 60o-foot-
ers ordered for that company in a few
months goes into the water there to-
day.
1t is estimated that to bring down
the ore to be used this year-expected
to be the most prosperous ever expert
enced-will require the service OF 60.-
6ca men and cost about 81 ton of ore
in wages alone.

ROAD MUST
RAISE TRACK

Before the contractor can proceed
with the work of building the pave
ment on Sheffield avenue it will be
necessary for the Hammond. Whiting
& East Chicago line to raise it's tracks
to grade.
The traction company plans to sub
stitute 80 pound rails for the so pound
rails now in use and has the materials
all on the ground with which to do the
work.
After the rack is raised the road
contractor will distribute his materials
by trolley so that the work of paving
the road will be completed in short
order once it is started
The building of the Holman street
bridge and the completion of the work
of paving the ridge road from Stahl-
baum's corner to the State line will
open up new traffic thoroughfares.

dispatch from Washington throws
light on the high esteem in which
Charles W. Miller is held as United
States district attorney for Indiana. II

planned to more than one senator dur

pointed out to some of the senators.
that nearly every United States dis

IN the next four years be called on to
perform duties in connection with the
prosecution of trusts
THE department OF justice in trying
to impress on senators the type of
lawyer it prefers for the office of dis
trict attorney is frequently pointing to
the service rendered the government
by Charles w Miller, United States at
torney for Indiana. 1t is pointed out
that at the time Mr. Miller was made
United States district attorney no one
supposed he would ever be called on
to handle such case as that presented
by the indictments against the men
charged with dynamiting; and the de-

New Hospital for Insane

With appropriate ceremonies,
the reconstructed main building
and the administration building
of the state hospital for the in
sane were dedicated last week.
Governor George w. P. Hunt de-
livered the principal address.
The placing in position of two
tablets, one of bronze and the
other of marble, were features of
the dedicatory exercises. The
bronze tablet was placed in the
entrance of the administration
building and the marble to the
entrance of the main building.
Great changes have been made
in the asylum since it was taken
over by the new administration. It
is not a place of confinement buta
place of treatment. The inmates
are given work and consequently
many keep their time occupied
and do not worry about their con-
dition.
With the many new improve
ments for special treatment it is
expected that one-half of the pa
tients committed to the asylum
will be cured. In the past one
tenth of the number have been
cured.
A total of 1874 persons are con-
fined at the asylum. OF this
number 90 are women.

Local Option Law Amended

An amendmendment to the To-
cal option code that is satisfacto-
ry to the dry" element was
adopted in the senate Tuesday
morning.
This amendment offered by
Lovin, places the "drys" and
"wets" on an equal plane, so far
as elections are concerned.
If a county goes wet no pre-
cinct can hold a local option cleo
ton till two years have elapsed.
Vice versa, if a county goes dry
no precinct can hold an election
till two years thereafter.
Under the present law any pre-
clnct of a county that goes wet
can hold an election Immediately
but in a county that goes dry no
precinct or number of precincts
can have another election under
two years.
The local option code has been
a bone of contention in the upper
house for more than a week.
Once it was passed substantially
in its present form, and sent to
the house. Then the vote was
reconsidered and the measure
withdrawn from the house. Since
then it has been subject of almost
daily debate. Once it was indefi-
nately postponed, but again the
vote was reconsidered. Gazette.
