Chicago.
Some Valparaiso & Northern Earnings.
The Valparaiso & Northern went into
connected operation between Valpa-
raise and Chesterton last spring and
did not get connection with Gary un-
til the summer business was practically
over. Its big month was July, when the
lake season was at its height. The
business in July was $3,05S.57, August.
$2.S10.73; September, s1,S56: October.
$1.4S3.23. The falling off of traffic on
this line was to be expected after the
close OF the lake resorts. Gradually
the increasing traffic between, the
towns on this line and Gary will bring
up the winter average. There has no,
yet been time to develop this business,
owing largely to the slow track into
Gary Valparaiso for example. has a
population of some SIC 900 people, many
OF whom go to Gary daily. Naturally
there is great deal of riding between
the two cities. The Pennsylvania
(steam) railroad makes the trip in
from forty to fifty minutes, according
to the train. The Air Line has been
taking an hour and a half With the
completion of the cutoff referred to
! elsewhere, even without further ballast,
we make the trip from Valparaiso
| to the gates of the steel mills in a lit
tie more than one hour, which will be
| fast enough to successfully compete
with the Pennsylvania lines, from the
| fact that after reaching Gary over the
Pennsylvania passengers for the steel
mills, or shopping district. find 1t nee
| essary to transfer to a street car, pay
! ing an additional fare and consuming
| much additional time. When the bal
| lasting of the tracks has been CON-
| pleted and some contemplated improve
| ments have been made in Gary the run
ming time can be cut still further.
| Gary & Interurban Continues Its Phe-
nomenal Showing.
The Gary & Interurban railway con-
| tinues its remarkable record. It's gross
| receipts in October were greater thar
| in July, which usually is the high
water" month on electric railroads
| October operating expenses however
were little higher than in July. which
made the net earnings less. In August
the net earnings of this Air Line rail
| road were the greatest in its history
having reached $10.1 1903. July's were
| only few dollars less. In October ths
net earnings were s9,476.S5.

MANY RIOTS MARK
FOREIGN FESTIVAL
Greek Orthodox Celebration
of Christmas Results in
Broken Heads.

Three riots that began at midnight
and ended at breakfast time this
morning marked the close of the Greek
orthodox Christmas celebration in
Gary's foreign quarters. Besides the
riots. in which many broken heads
were sutained, there were numerous
outbreaks among the foreign steel
workers that kept the police busy all
night. Too much consumption of
vodka is blamed for the troubles.
The first riot call came In from 91S
Jefferson street when the police arr
rested several foreigners. A little
while later reserves were rushed to
Sixteetnh avenue and Massachusetts,
street. shortly before breakfast time
third cal came in from Eighteenth
avenue and Massachusetts, street.
This morning in city court Judge
WiIdermuth had big aggregation OF
wounded rioters, their heads bandaged
and their arms in sings, awaiting for
him to dispense fines and jail sentences.

The remarkable earnings OF the Gary

FURNACES
At GARY

General Superintendent w. p Glea-
son of the Gary steel works has been
ordered to prepare for the installation
of electric steel furnaces, Heroult pro-
cess. similar to the furnaces in opera
ton at South Chicago.
The new furnaces will be for making
alloy steel, considerable of which is
used in automobile parts. This steel
is of high grade and brings a good
price.
The addition of electric furnaces to
the steel making facilities at Gary will
make the plant more complete.

Covering the activities of the police
department of the Baltimore and OHIO
Railroad System for the calendar year,
1912, Grant A, Ogine. superintendent
of police, has submitted TIE annual
report of his department that shows the
vigilance exerted in protecting the
travelling public. shippers and other
patrons, as we'll as the railroad itself
against original depredations. The re-
port shows that during the year Io,4I7
arrests were made for various cffenses,
telonies and misdemeanors. While this
number of arrests denotes decrease in
crime and petty offenses as compared
with the previoue year, the report of the
superintendent of pc ice of the Baltimore
and Ohio points ont the way to even
greater reductions through the full co.
operation of state. mum icipal, county
and township police officials and the
courts.
The most frequent recurring offense
with which the Baltimore and Ohio
police officials had to cope during the
year. was for violation of railroad laws,
embodying vsgrancy. trespassing and
| unlawful train riding, the number of
arrests made for such cffenses totaling
6.2qI. Commenting upon this phase of
his report. Superintendent Ogline says:
Most of these arrests were for trespass-
ing, and from the study maze of the
question during my travel over the
Americ IN railroads last year. it is evi.
dent that the trespassing evil is growing
rapidly. This is true despite the efforts
| which have been made 10 educate the
public to keep away from railroad tracks
and property. where danger continually
exists. All railroad police departments
are coguizant of the large increase in
trespassers on their properties. and it
would seem that the only possible solu-
ton of the problemis to be found through
the cooperation which the authorities
should extend,
j during the year. 1912. there were
2So persons lost their lives and 2oS more
were injured on or about Baltimore and
Ohio property who had no lawful reason
for their presence on or near the rail
. road. Many of them were struck b,
; passing trains while they were using
: the tracks as a public highway, ant
, others fell from freight and passenge
trains while riding unlawfuily."
