LLOYD KEET IS
FOUND IN WELL
tBy United Press.)

SPRINGFIELD, MO. June e.-The
body of Baby Lloyd Keet, Ii months
old son of ]. Holland Keet, millionaire
banker. kidnapped May 80. was
found this afternoon in an abandoned
well on the Grenshaw place eight
miles southwest of Springfield
The Grenshaw place was mentioned
as the proposed rendezvous of the
the Reilly gang in their scneme to kid
nap c. A. Clement. a jeweler, accord
ing to confessions by Claude Piersol
and Taylor Adams, two suspects held
in connection with the case.
Both men however. denied they knew
anything about the Keet case. Author
tiles have thus far been unable to
shake their stories, but they believe
Piersol will ultimately confess part
in the abduction.
That the baby had been thrown into
the well shortly after its disappear
ance on the night of Decoration day
was evident from the fact that the body
was partly decomposed. 1t was wrap
ped in an old undershirt and probably
had been in the well for several days

WHAT'S WRONG
WITH BUILDING ?

The Calumet Building & Loan asso-
citation, in order to find an outlet for
money. had to loan $4,000 in Gary, 1t
was stated today. an indication that
there is something wrong with build
ing in Hammond when local concerns
do not find a market for their money
at home. A few years ago it was COM
mon complaint that money was too
hard to get to encourage building. This
year. with plenty of money available
and the most prosperous of times, build
ing has taken a slump.
Building materials are as cheap as
they will ever be again. Labor will
never be secured again at lower
price. There is big demand for i'm
proved property and rents are at top
notch. There is nothing wrong with
building as an investment
Evidently there is foolish horading of
money. Dollars IN the family sock Of
a safety vault earn nothing

Gary schools, Gary steel methods,

the only things that are carried to
the highest degree of efficiency.
There are other things. Thus one
would not expect to find efficiency
in conducting e saloon, yet oddly
enough it can be found at Gary. This
Is the story OF one OF the most eff
cientIy managed saloons in America
THE TIMES has from time to
time, year after year, devoted space
to the wonderful steel. school and

exist at Gary, but it has found that
efficiency is also to be found outside
of the conventional channels. This

efficiency that is not common place.

CHLORINED WATER;
NO TYPHOID FEVER

Hammond water has been chlorine
treated for month and strange to say
the only complaints made of the chlor-
inc taste in the water were received at
the board of health before the treat
nent was started. During the heated
debate the public imagination was Stim-
ulated. apparently, and for ten days
after the passage of the appropriation
for the chlorine plant the board of
health was kept busy answering the
telephone.
The water is bitter with chlorine =
one claimed.
1t was week later that chlorine was
used for the first time.
Since that date there has not been
case of typhoid fever reported in the
city.

In Good Location

The Binzenhof is located at 4th ave
nue. and Broadway and is said to be
the largest saloon in Indiana as well as
the most efficiently managed.
1t is the first business house that
one meets after leaving union depot.
and it is quite adjacent to the monster
Gary steel plant.
Being almost at the main gate of the
greatest steel plant in the world. in the
main street and on the path to the
mills and with no other saloon save
one within a mile of big industries. it
possesses a stragetic location. Beyond
the mile-limit there are $50 other sa-
looms but it is the Binzenhof that gets
first chance st the trade of the 5000
employees of the steel plant and the
$4,000 employees Of adjacent mills who
happen to pass its doors. This may
explain why it does such a large pusi-
ness.

mediocre man. unskilled in business
save to sell drinkables and get the
money, let him attend to this story of a
saloon at Gary that is said to handle
more money daily some days than GER
tain Gary banks. 1t is a saloon that re-
quires a business office, an auditor"
and at times its own police force to
watch its bank" The telephone. the
adding machine and other devices of
modern office equipment are to be found
in this establishment known as the

When the Steel company officials de-
cided to permit a saloon near the mills
it is said that they looked around for
efficient. capable and trustworthy men
to take over the place. So. some ten
years ago Teddy Binzen. formerly chief
of police of Joliet. Ill, and his brother
Michael. assumed the operation of the
saloon. They have conducted it ever
since. the license usually being taken
out in the name of one of the brothers.
Place Well Conducted
Probably no other saloon in Indiana
hews so closely to the line in obeying
the law. There is no disorder no
gambling, and no seats bench or booths
within. The Binzens are model boni-
faces.
The saloon closes on Sundays and
Holidays detail that 80 per cent of
Gary saloons do not follow. 1t is said
that the excellent law observance of the
Binzenhof management has never
drawn a single rebuke from it's land
lord. the Gary Land company. of which
E. j. Burlington. president of the Indi-
ana and Illinois Steel companies. is the
head. AS a result of this conscientious
hewing to the mark no one has ever ut
tered complaint that the saloon wasn't
conducted as the law directs.

PROTEST AGAINST
 CONFIRMATION OF TANNERS APPOINTMENT
Secretary.
(Daily Alaskan)


 That a protest has been sent to Washington against the con- firmation of the nomination of J. M. Tanner as United States mar shall for the first district of Alas ka and that the signers of the protest endorsed United States Commissioner E. A. Rasmuson for the position, was made public here today.
 Announcement of this action was made following the circula- tion of a petition in support of MT. Tanners candidacy. The petition is addressed to the ju- dietary committee of the senate, in whose hands the nomination by the President now is. The petition was drawn up here Wednesday, following the ar rival of MT. Tanner from Juneau.
 Mir. Tanner is now acting as marshal under appointment of Judge Jennings, to fill the vacan- cy created by the resignation of Harry Bishop, who quit the office after the escape of Krause.
 Both Mir Tanner and Judge Rasmuson are Democrats. Both are also Skagway men. Judge Rasmuson has lived here since last spring. Besides being United States Commissioner, he is also deputy clerk of the district court.
 Judge Rasmuson came to Alas ka in 1904 from Minneapolis. He was first a government school teacher in Yakutat, and later was United States commissioner there from 1911 to 1914.
 He has been admitted to prac- tice before the courts of Alaska and also before the supreme court of Minnesota.

for this fish, pickled. is growing rapidly. The Sabletish (black cod) for which the Bureau of Fisheries is establishing a large market, fresh, frozen and kippered, is one of the finest of American food fishes and exceedingly abundant in South eastern Alaska and contiguous wat CTS. The atkafish, frequently called 'atka mackerel' and "attu mack erel," is regarded by many as superior to the true maCkercl when plckled in the same manner.
 All of these fishes lend them selves to preservation by Sal,iue and in view ot the dearih ot tin plate, which may interfere with any large increase in the pack of canned fish, cannot too strongly urge that large quantities of all of them be cured during the coming season. There is no doubt that the de- mand tor them will be heavy next winter and the Bureau of Fisheries will take steps to make the public acquainted with their merits. The Bureaus agents in Alaska will lend fishermen and salteries all possible assistance, and information con. corning methods of curing Will be furnished to those desiring 1t.
 Aside from service rendered 10 the country, there is now presented an unusual opportunity to enlarge and broaden the fishery industries ot Alas ka, for a market established at this time IS certain to be main tained when peace comes. Now is the time to act.
 Very truly yours.
