Ghastly Discovery at Gary Where
Open Milk Cans Are Found in Same
Room With Corpse of Woman Who
Died of Typhoid State Official
May Give Hammond a Deputy.
H. E. Barnard, state food and drug
commissioner, has been making a quiet
Investigation throughout the city dur
ing: the last few days as to the health
conditions, the Improvement since the
visit of Inspector Frank Tucker, last
Bummer, and the opinion of the people
as to the conditions exlsit.ing.
For this purpose Mr. Barnard visited
' many of the leading merchants of the
city and had a talk with them as to
health conditions, regarding the sale of
food and drugs.
To a Lake County Times reporter Mr.
Barnard expressed himself as phased
With the work of Mr. Tucker during
his last visit, and said that the mer
chants whom he visited likewise
thought that the work was not with
out great results.
"The merchants, particularly the
men who have made a success of their
business, know that they have nothing
to fear from the pure food law and
"thA inin('rf aru and thnt Ir nnw tint
'are not trvlnar to persecute nnvone.

the limelight," said Mr. Barnard.
... Many Cwrlous Condition. -
'"lany curious' conditions came to the
notice of Mr. Barnard during his visit
o Hammond. The official stated that
several milk testa were taken and sent
to the headquarters, and as the milk
question is one of the most important
at the present time, he made a number
of inquiries as to the identity of the
milk inspector at Hammond. For a
long time he could find no person who
knew who that individual might be,
even tho police department, lie states,
being unable to inform him. Finally
he found a citizen who gave the name
of A. J. Dawdy. Mr. bawdy is sealer
of welshts and measures and there is
no official milk inspector in Hammond.
Mr. bawdy couples the work of his
own office with that of milk inspec
tor. The commissioner proposes to
make a thorough inspection of the milk
dairy business in Hammond and an
Inspector will probably take up the
work here more thoroughly when he
finishes.
In Whiting he found that there was
an epidemic of disease owing to poor
drinking water. The intake was close
to the place where the sewer emptied
and the bad water was sucked into the
ripe for the city supply. Steps were
taken at once to remedy this.
Corpse and Milk in Same Boom.
At Gary recently, he stated, that
in the same room where lay the body
of a woman awaiting burial who had
died from typhoid fever, were cans
of milk without covers awaiting ship
ment to customers. Such conditions
are very rare, however, he stated.
One of the things that makes Ham
mond and the surrounding towns
more conspicuous on the maps of the
pure food commission is its close
proximity to Chicago. The big deal
ers are too fond of using nearby cities
as a dumping place for all bad goods
which they car.not get rid of at home.
For this reason it Is imperative that
the cities have health officers and in
spectors who can render efficient ser
vice and who are not tied up with
other duties. The not-,1 of a milk in
spector in this city is urgent, as the
conditions in other cities nearby show
a terrible condition of affairs, and It Is
likely to be not better here. It is
probable that action will be taken in
the near future by the commissioner to
place a man from his staff in this
city.

(Special to I-nke County Time.)
Gary, Ind., Dec. 31. Gary has be
come the victim of another "man from
where?" who simply 'blew in," as
sumed tho reins of leadership and then
ducked out with a nice roll of Gary
money and self-esteem in his posses
sion. W. G. Longhead became a Gary citi
zen some time ago and at once made
it his specialty to become a member of
every secret organization in the city.
He was a member of six organizations,
associations, and lodges in Gary.
Among the orders he Joined were the
Odd Fellows, the Knights of Pythias,
tho Masons, tho Eagles, and the Mac
cabees. Loughead, who is now known
by his brothers as "Longhead," in
gratiated himself into the friendship of
the Odd Fellows in Gary and was soon
made financial secretary.
Trudlfd With Lodge Pundn.
In this capacity he was given the
custody of considerable money and at
the time of his leaving Gary he had
$170 of the funds belonging to
Odd Fellows in his possession.
Whether or not he Intends to
the
re-
turn is not known for a certainty.
The fact of his "disappearance," In
its commonly accepted sense, is denied
at the local police headquarters, but
it is generally known about town that
the Odd Fellows would feel a great
deal more comfortable if they had that
$170 in their possession.
Loughead was the cnairman of the
committee which had been appointed
by the Eagles to make arrangements
for the New Year's dance, but he did
not have any, of the Eagles' funds In
his possession- at the time of -his
appearance. V "

BUR6LARSARE BOLD
Gary Thieves Push in Plate
Glass and Rob Show
Window C.ary. Ind., Dec. 31. (Special. )One of
the boldest robberies that has taken
place in Gary for some time, occurred
at Sixteenth and Broadway last even
ing at 10 o'clock when thieves pushed
In the front window of the Gary De
partment store and succeeded in get
ting away with a rich Joad of jewelry
and merchandise.
In spite of the fact that the merchant
police was patroling the neighborhood
every hour, the thieves went about
their work with a boldness that is un
paralleled in Gary.
After pushing in the window they
climbed in the aperture and proceeded
to load up with all of the valuables in
sight. The loot consisted of eight
watches, ten chains, two boxes of sil
ver knives, two pairs of suspenders
and an old musket.
An effort , is being made to locate the
thieves, but there is nut a clew upon
which a search could be intelligently
conducted. It is supposed that this
robbery was the result of a raid of
Chicago crooks.

A NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION.
BY ARTHUR J. BURDICK.
I resolve now, let me see :
From what things should I bs free?
How can I improve my ways,
Better occupy my days?
To what heights shall I aspire.
What cut out and what acquire,
Virtues don and vices doff,
What resolve and what "swear off?"
Let me look back o'er the past:
Did my resolutions last?
Did the things I put away
In their banishment long stay?
Are my vices hard to find?
Are my faults left far behind?
Did I vanquish any ill,
Or are all here with me still?
And the good that I would do
Did the dream of it come true?
Did I diligence acquire?
Did I mount a little higher?
Did I straighter walk the road?
Did I braver bear my load?
Did I speak more words of cheer
For the vows I took last year?
New Year's day is now at hand;
Habit, custom, make demand.
Resolution, visage grim,
Says I now must treat with him.
Now, what tribute shall I pay?
What vows offer him this day? -Sacrifices
pains involve;
I resolve io - not resolve.

AUTO DRIVES ITSELF!
Starts Down Street Dodging
. Obstacles as Though In
telligently Guided. '
The crazy antics of an' automobile
dray, belonging to the Hammond Cor
nice Works, which is a conspicuous
figure on the streets of Hammond,
caused no end of amusement and ex
citement on South Hohman street, near
Clinton, this morning. The auto appar
ently became possessed of supernatural
Instincts, and started out to celebrate
the passing of the old year in a novel
fashion, all its own. The owner of the
machine had left it standing quietly
and well behaved beside the curb, while
he attended to business in a store.
After standing for some time, it sud
denly started to move off down the
street, turning nicely from the curb into
the middle of the street, and with rap
idly increasing speed took a hike south,
its movement as well regulated as if
an expert chauffeur was at the helm.
Coming down town was an electric car
and the motorman catching sight,
tooted his horn again and again, the
weird note drawing the attention of
everybody within a block. The auto
sped nearer and nearer and when the
people held their breaths, awaiting a
collision that seenud inevitable, the
machine turned out of the way of the
car and dodged Into the curb where
it brought up short, and resumed its
former quiet.
No damage was done and the owner
reclaimed the machine.
A W0KD OF APPRECIATION.
Mnter of St. Francis at St. Margaret's
Hospital Thank the Public for
Its Cooperation.
The Sisters of St. Francis at St. Mar
garet's hospital have sent out a word
of appreciation to the benefactors who
have helped to carry on their splendid
work of charity.
There is probably not a charitable in
stitution in this part of the .state
which has done as much good among
t.ie people of all classes as the local
hospital.
The folowlng Is the communication
which they desire to make public
through the columns of The Lake
County Time?:
"At the beginning of the New Year
we wish to tend our sincere thanks
and appreciation for the libera! assist
ance shown us by our numerous bene
factors, the charitable citizens of Ham
mond. "They have been instrumental
making our work a success and
h pe that they : continue their
b'.e deeds of kindness in the future."
"May our Good Father in Heaven
in
we
no-
be-
stow His choicest blessings upon them,
and may all of our kind benefactors
enjoy a very happy New Year."
The Sisters of St. Francis.

pose of The Lake County Times
to give its employes and car-
riers a holiday on that day. Ex-

REMAINS A MYSTERY
Police Are no Nearer a So
1 J lution on TOdrmuth:::i
' Case Than Before.
Gary. Dec. 31. (Speelal)-The death
of George Wildermuth is still being in
vestigated by the police of Gary, Crown
Point and L.ogansport. The fact that
the suit case which was found some
distance from the decapitated body of
the Gary feed man was rifled of all val
uables leads to the belief that the
motive might possibly be robbery in
spite of the assertion of the police "that
it was jealousy or revenge.
A theatrical company occupied a car
just to the rear of the coach occupied
by Wildermuth and it has been sug
gested that some of the stage hands
who travel with a company of this sort
might have been responsible for the
robbery.
The police, however, seem to be
farther from the solution of the prob
lem than ever and the actual facts re
garding the death of George Wilder
muth may never be known.
RECALLS THE WILD Ml
Operation on Officer Mul
cahy Calls Famous
Hunt to Mind.
Gary. Ind., Dec. 31. (Special.) The
hunt for the "wild man" which was one
of the most desperate man hunts in the
history of Lake County, was recalled
by the removal of a bullet from the arm
of Officer John Mulcahy, one of the
Gary officers who engaged in that mem
orable battle and who was Injured by
the "wild man" before he was finally
killed.
Several days ago Officer Mulcahy's
arm began to pain him and to get stiff.
The officers suffering was so great
that he finally consulted Drs. Walsh &
Templln and an operation was decided
upon.
When the arm was cut open it was
found that a piece of a bullet had
lodged In Mulcahy's elbow. Several
other pieces of the bullet were recov
ered and they are all being saved by
Mulcahy as souvenirs of the memorable
fight at Pine Station.

I The police made a beginning in their

Lake Couney democrats will go to

ing to the figures on the outcome of
the district convention at Monon next
Thursday where ninety-eight delegates
will cast their vote for a chairman.

be a split there, but even should it
be solidly for Risk and other figures
are correct, Risk will be beaten by two
votes.
While the Hammond politicians are
merely dividing the votes of White
county equally they believe that the
sentiment is more than two-thirds
against Risk. They think that the
same thing holds true in LaPorte
county. ; !
One. thing Is. sure, and that Is that

tVie of the first things that Mr. Risk
w?ll hear there is that he violated , the
state law as accepted by the democrats
in having called a county central com
mittee meeting of which he was chair
man, to elect delegates for the tenth
district convention instead of a mass
convention. The delegates were in
structed to vote Risk but it will be
pointed out to the delegates from
other counties that he feared to call a
mass meeting thinking that the latter
would have discarded him while the
central committee of which he was
chairman, could do nothing but merely
instruct the chosen delegates for him.

Is Charged.
(Special to Lake County Timet.
Gary, Ind.. Dec. 31. Some surprise
was occasioned this morning by the
announcement that Officer LaujIs Jen
kins of tho local police force had sud
denly disappeared from Gary for Okla
homa, leaving debts aggregating $100
which had not been paid.
Officer Jenkins wanted to attend a
dance Christmas eve at East Chicago
and applied to Chief of Police Martin
for permission to leave his post and
attend the function.
The chief told the officer that he did
not see how he could spare hlta. but
Officer Jenkins went to the dance just
the same and was scheduled for dis
missal. Chief Martin had the papers calling
for Jenkins resignation all made out
and was about to send them to htm
when he heard that Jenkins had left
for Oklahoma and would not be In Gary
again.
SiiHpemlecl Once Hefore.
Some time ago Officer Jenkins and
another officer were suspended for neg
lect of duty. At this time Chief Mar
tin decided to give Jenkins another
chance and so the matter of his suspen
sion was hushed up, but this time the
chief had determined to get rid of Jen
kins, and only the fact of his volun
tary llight by night paved him from
preemptory discharge.
Officer Jenkins, however, in some re
spect was one of the best men on po
lice force. He was cool and had un
limited nerve. lie once got into a
fight with a man who was half negro
and half Indian, and although the half
breed flashed a revolver and threatened
to shoot the first man that touched
him,4 Officer Jenkins, went up to hira
and took his gun away. .
Jenkins came from East Chicago
where he ws! employed in th poet,
office. He was the third' man ' to be
taken on the Gary fot?e and "was well
liked by all his fellow officers.
SELECT SCHOOL SITES
Gary Board of Education
Spends Day in Chicago
Arranging Locations.
Gary, Ind. December 31. (Special)
The board of education spent j'es
terday in Chicago in connection with
the securing of the school sites deemed
necessary for the future school needs
in the Gary Land company's first subdi
vision. It has finally been decided that
three entire blocks would be needed,
the one being at Carolina street, be
tween Sixth and Seventh; the second
on Polk street, between Sixth and Sev
enth and the third on Jackson street
between Third and Fourth avenues.
The present plan of the board calls for
the erection of two buildings, one on
the east and one on the west side,
contracts for which are to be let as
soon as plans can be prepared and bids
secured.
The Gary Land company has agreed
to an arrangement whereby the neces
sary sites have been reserved for the
board without requiring payment there
for until it is in a position to pay
without hampering its borrowing ca
pacity, that is so greatly needed for the
erection of buildings.
The first building to be begun will
probably be the one on the east side.
There is almost as great a need on the
west side, but the company's building
will afford temporary relief when It Is
completed. It is not contemplated that
any of the new buildings would be
ready until a year from next September.
Each building and its attendant play
grounds will occupy an entire block of
some five or six acres of ground.
LA PORTE MASONS TO BUILD
LaPorte, Ind., Dec. 31. LaPorte is
to have a handsome Masonic
according to the plans of the various
Masonic bodies of this city. A commit
tee, composed of James H. Buck, Chas.
Bosserman, John LeRoy, John L. Smith j
and E. R. Hart, was appointed Friday j
evening and is now at work canvass
ing the situation. On Wednesday this j
committee will make Its report to Ex- j
celsior lodge. No. 41, I-. and A. M-. and
from the enthusiasm with which the
project has been received by the Ma
sons of the city there appears to be no
question but that a building committee
will be at once appointed to make prep
arations and secure plans.
Some years ago. at the suggestion of
Judge Daniel Noyes, a sinking fund
j was created and as this has about a,ooo
' in it now the Masons are in excellent
condition to push the temple project.
They have before them the example of
the Odd Fellows, who about fifteen
years ago. built the present beautiful
structure and today have It almost clear
of all incumbrances. The lease on the
present rooms In the Scott building will
expire In three years, before which time
th? Masons hope to be able to move into
their own. home.

to Swing the State Chairmanship.
tSpeelnl to I.nkc County Times.)
Indianapolis. D,-e. 31. Politicians
are wondering who, if anyone, will
enter the race for lieutenant governor
to take the place of Roy Shattuek of
Brazil, who has announced he will
withdraw because of constitutional ob
jections to his running, inasmuch as
he Is now mayor of his home city.
Shattuek was advised recently by At
torney General Bingham that he was
not eligible to make tho race. His
withdrawal Is expected daily.
Several state politicians think that
Governor Hanly will bring some ono
into the race. Neither Fremont Good
wine nor John Edwards are satisfac
tory, it is explained, to thj governor.
Edwards was one of tho republican
lloor leaders in the last house and hd
openly opposed Hanly from beginning
of the session to the end. Goodtvino
was more conservative but when it
came to a showdown, he was found
among the anti-IJanly crowd. He
voted ror tne passage of feveral meas
ures over the governor's veto.
. Several "Mrntload.
Several men have, been -.mentioned as
proppectlve entries in thj race for
lieutenant governor but little Is heard
of these men now. Henry Marshall
was regarded as a receptive candidate
for the nomination until the asphalt
patching frauds in Indianapolis s-''
him in bad. James Wadi Emisoti of
Vincennes, Walter Ball of Muncie, A.
F. Knotts of Hammond, and others had
their eye on the nomination. His In
dictment by the Marion country grand
jury put Marshall out of the running.
Knotts got out because he and Good
wine came from the same district.
Ball decided not to announce himself
because of the muddled condition of
Eighth district affair and Emison quit
thinking of the job after Edwards, who
is from his district, announced him
self. Though many rersons think that
Hanly will enter a candidate in the.
race, they do not mention .any names.
When asked who the governor might
lik.e to see on the ticket, they profess
Ignorance.
Will Manage Taylor' Campaign. .
Oliver Ensley, retiring treasurer of
Marion county and chairman of th,6
Seventh district, wlrt assume the man
agement of William L. Taylor's candi
dacy for the governorship, Thursday.
Mr. Ensley will leave the treasurer's
office New Year's day and he will be
gin active work for Mr. Taylor im
mediately thereafter. Mr. Taylor left
yesterday for a trip through the north
ern part of the tate, and Congress
man James E. Watson went to Evans
ville in the interests of his candidacy.
He will remain In the southern part
of the state for a week. Hugh Th.
Miller and Charles W. Miller were
here yesterday consulting with friendgt
Both reported that the poiitlcal future
looked bright to them. Will Irwin of
Columbus will manage Hugh Miller's
campaign and Charles W. Miller will
be his own manager. Captain Jack
Goudy long ago assumed charge of
Watson's candidacy.
Tasxirt Still a 1tvt.
Though the democratic reorganlzers
are still hoping that they will have
enough votes to elect a state chairman
of their own liking, it is generally
thought that Taggart will remain in
charge of the party machinery. Sat
urday's primaries and county conven-
templejtjon j.j not give tlx reorganlzers much
encouragement. It is figured that Tag
gart will control the Second, Third,
Fourth. Fifth. Seventh, Eighth, and per
haps Ninth districts, while the "antl's"
I will have only the i- irst, tenth.
Twelfth and Thirteenth districts, and
nrobablv the Sixth and Eleventh, which
tare regarded as being in doubt. Dis

TO DRESS AS '-TIMES" GIRL.
A masquerade dress made of differ

the masquerade ball given by the Reg
ulars at Huehn's hall this evening.
The wearer will be one of Hammond's
well known women and aw it is known
in advance that she will appear in tha

speculation as to her Identity.
