GOVERNOR HANLY HAKES i ELOQUENT SPEECH Program, With Few Exceptions, is Executed as Arranged Four of the Speakers Unavoidably Detained Buffington Gives "Diet of Facts."

(Special to I.nlvp County Time.) Gary, Ind., Nov. 2G. With two hundred representative business men of Gary arid the Calumet region Heated at long rows of white tables at the Gary hotel, with the governor of the state, the conKtessman from this district, and the state senator of Iake and Porter county to lend dignity to the occasion, honored by the presence of .several of those masterful men who have made the United States Steel corporation one of the greatest buisness enterprises of tho kind in the world, Gary's coming out was a splendid success. Not one tiling had been left undone, not one cent was unexpended to make the occasion the most notable of its kind that tho northwestern part of the state had ever known. The dining rooms in the new hostelry, the Gary hotel, had been beautifully decorated for the occasion. Green branches had been hung about the walls and ceilings, converting tho rooms into leafy bowers. 1'nlntlnfiM Further Pawtornl Effect. At various places along the walls were large paintings on canvas representing pastoral scenes. At the head of the main dining hall was a group of flags surrounding a picture of the Gary Commercial club, which had provided tho banquet. Beneath them was the shakers' table, at which Governor Jiajxly -jwas seated to the left of Captain f-j! S. Norton, the president of tho ComStj reial club; while Homer J. Carr, the t.kstmaster sat at the right. E. J. F.uffington and Congressman E. 1). Crumpacker and the rest of the speakers were seated around this table. After the last course of a splendid menu had been faultlessly served. President Norton rapped for attention and the banqueters sat around in their chairs and listened to the program of toasts) Given Ual.Mou d'etre. Mr. Norton introducing Mr. Carr, the toast master, took occasion to briefly review tho history of Gary and then to point out the reasons for the organisation of the Commercial club. "When the people began to pour into the city and to organize various business enterrpises," said Captain Norton, "every man was for himself. The necessity for co-operation was seen, hence the Commercial club." Referring to the pioneer days, Mr. Norton told of conditions as they Were 'way back in early 1907." He then contrasted them with the city at present, which has representatives from fourteen states. Homer J. Carr, the toastmastor, was then introduced and in turn presented Thomas E. Knotts, president of the town board, who spoke on the "Town of Gary." Mr. Knotts contrasted conditions as they are now with those of eighteen months ago when "wolves were killed on Broadway." Mr. Knotts also took occasion to suggest the name of Governor Hanly as the next president of the United States. Senator Ilowner Talk. Senator A. J. Bowser's toast was an eloquent one and owing to the fact that tile senator had been so influential in securing needed legislation he vas most cordially received. Mr. Bowser said that he was glad to have been instrumental in securing legislation for this district and that he was sure at Gary a city would rise that would be the prido of this glorious state. Mr. Bowser referred to the recent financial flurry when he said that the country was staggering under a mighty blow. He said that graft, greed and thievery are tho breakers ahead but the good ship of state was being guided by a man who was equal to the occasion. Mr. Bowser said able to slacken the that it was prefcrspoed of today than to plunge into an abyss tomorrow. Mr. Crumpacker was introduced and said he would protit by the tton he had received on this and intimated that it would lnspiraoccasion last him throughout the whole session of iv.n. gress when an effort would be made to secure appropriations for the Gary harbor and other harbor projects in his district.

I u din ii n' Chlek Kifoullve Make ICloqueiit Address Flefore Gary Danquetern. Tonight the town of Gary discards her swaddling clothes, dons holiday at tire, makes her initial bow to the pub lie, and takes her place among the municipalities of Indiana. She is now very new; almost as new as her com ing-out. ciotnes. tne is young, very young, as young as she is now. In fact, she Is not a two-year-old. But new and young as she Is, she is eligituo, ana we welcome her with sincere cordiality. Until now we have been denied the privilege of a personal ac quaintance. But she is not a stranger. for we have already heard much of her. Her birth was widely announced. Her advancing steps. Increasing power precocious development and multiplying accomplishments have all been daily proclaimed. Rumors of what her god father has been doing for her in material way, ana or wiiat he yet intends to do for her in this behalf, have been current for months. It is therefore but human that we are all curi ous tonight to look upon her, to note her charms, to count her accomplish ments, to take her measure, so to speak, to know the amount of her present bank account and to learn something of the value of her prospective inheritance. We are not mercenary. The impelling beauty of her countenance holds us. We are charmed by her varied accomplishments, natural and acquired. We look with kindly eyes upon her comeliness of person and are deeply touched by her graciousness of manner. Because of these, all of us are at her feet. But candor compels us to admit that the drawing power of none of them is impaired by her material possessions. Com bl nation Irrefutable. Personality an.i weaith. pvt-smt and prospeeiiN e, eoinome io ma ko her irresistable. Hence, the multitude at t U i festal board. Salad youth and wrink- j led age are here. Poverty and riches, pleblan and patrician, compete fori recognition. Courage and diplomacy ! aspire to reach her ami frankness and i tinenesse besiege her. A stately s nator (Bowser) has already declared his love in eloquence hot with passion, while " a gray-haired congressman. (Crumpacker) has sought acceptance in phrases sweet as honeyed, hw. And now. while others with impatient envy wait, I venture lure to urge my poor suit with halting tongue and stammering speech,, but with blood and soul responsive. If I could. I'd link the destiny of the Commonwealth with hers. For I see for nor a future of rare i commercial power and signal industrial i great aess. Her debut is well tinn s before the meridian of the age of iron ' and steel. Her location is peculiarly advantageous. Within easy access to the south are coal fields substantial depth and of wide area, immeasurable value. To the northwest are beds of iron and .copper ore richer than a raiser's dream. At her feet is a mighty inland sea wun a oosom wide enough to bear tho commerce of a world. Behind her is industrious, intrepid and skillful people, in whose (Continued on page 5, column 5.)

10 STRAIGHTEN

RIGHT OF WAY Grand Trunk Engineers Al most Finish Work of Laying Out New Line. DECIDE UPON CHEAP ROUTE Believed Officials Are in Earnest and Spring Will Witness Commencement of Grading, Valparaiso, Nov. 26. (Special.) The corns of engineers who have been making surveys and estimates for the straightening of the Grand Trunk rail way near here, have just about completed their work. They investigated threo projected routes and are now nearly through with the cost estimate of the one which they consider the most favorable. The line which they lookeupon with greatest favor at present is a combina tion of the three lines originally pro jected and runs from the present po sition of the track at a point about two miles east of Valparaiso by means of a gradual and lengthy curve through a point about three hundred feet north of the Grand Trunk station here. This line passes through two houses, the first house north of the I'oster Lumber company's yards the home of W. II. Philley, on southeast corner of Franklin and the ann Billings streets. The line from here goes west by south and crosses the present tracks near the yard limits post, proceeding by two gradual curves to a point about five hundred feet west of the interlocking tower at Loucks' crossing and thence by almost direct line to a point near Sedley. This route, if adopted, will provide a straighter and a much higher and more level course than that of the present tracks and will eliminate the steep grade between here and Sedley and the necessity of a yard engine. At present every heavy freight train from the west requires the assistance of an extra engine which has to be sent from Valparaisio to Sedley, causing the loss of considerable time and causing the of considerable time and great additional expense. .- ' Villi Build Viaducts. Thi3 proposed road will cross the Pennsylvania and the Nickel Plate rights of way near the tower at Boucks' crossing by means of overhead bridges. The change in the course of the road through here will probably necessitate the building of a new passenger station and possibly also a new freight depot. If the proposed changes are finally settled upon, a fact that will depend upon the cost, the work of construction will probably be begun early in the spring. This is only one of a number of surveys that have been made in recent years, but during the last two or three years a determined effort seems to have been made to bring about an immediate change. An unverified report that seems to lend credence to the report that work will be begun in the spring, is that all steam shovels that have been in use west of Griffith have been ordered sent to Valparaiso for repairs and storage for the winter. If work is begun next spring it will mean a great deal for Valparaiso ns several hundred thougand dollars will probably be spent in the city and vicinity and a large amount of labor will be in demand. iVEN HOI REGEPTI01 Returning Bridal Coupl Surprised by East Chicago Friends.

KILLED B! TRAIN; BOOUUT III 10 Man Supposed to be Julius Shipper Meets Death on Tracks.

THOUGHT DISCHARGED CHEF Man Answering His Description Let Out This Morning by Gary Hotel. (Special to Lake County Times.) Gary, Ind., Nov. 26. Special. A well dressed and apparently prosperous German, was run over and instantly killed on the Lake Shore railroad this morning, the body being cut in two. The man is supposed to be Julius Shipper, an assistant chef at the Gary hotel. Early this morning the man came to the police station and in incoherent manner asker Sergeant Klopf how to get io tae .ary Hotel. i lie man was dressed in fine clothes and wore a dia mond ring on his linger. From what could be made out of his stumbling speech it was thought that he had been engaged as a chef at the hotel and had lost his way. He was directed by the police and went out. About half an hour later the police were told that a man had been killed on the Lake Shore railroad and when they went to the scene they found that it was the man who had called on them earlier. The body was removed to the morgue, where the coroner will view the remains tomorrow. The police then went to the Gary hotel where they interviewed the head chef. The latter stated that he had paid off and dischargd two assistants this morning and that their names were Julius Shipper and Albert Brandlet. From the description of the dead man he thought that it might have been the former. He had not engaged any new assistants. He said that Shipper was a German who could speak but little English, although he was well educated, and appeared to be about 40 years of age. He did not know where the man's home was, but thought that he came from Chicago. This morning's accident was the seventh that has occurred on the tracks of the Lake Shore railroad recently. The police think that the reason for so many accidents may bo that the trains run on the left instead of the right hand tracks. TEST FILTERING PLANT State Officials Make Analysis of Flint Lake Water For Valpo. Valparaiso, Nov. 26. (Special) The officials of the Indiana state board of health at the request of the Home Water company, are making tests of the new $20,000 filtering plant at Flint Lake, preparatory to Its acceptance by the company. They expect to ascertain the results of the first tests of the efficiency of the plant today. The tests will cover a period of ten days, three tests being made every day. After this about five more days will be required at Indianapolis to ascertain the results of tests already made and to make the necessary reports. The efficiency of the plant is determined by the percentage of bacteria removed during the filtering process, the number of bacteria remaining after filtration being counted and compared with the number found in the unfiltered water. It requires about five days before the result of any one test can be determined, because it takes about that length of time for the bacteria to develop. It is expected that the tests will show that the filtered water is almost chemically perfect in purity, for the plant Installed is considered by experts one of the best to be had. CELEBRATE 68TE BIRTHDAY. St. John, Nov. 26. (Special.) Mrs Andrew Rammer celebrated her sixtyeighth birthday Sunday at her home here, surrounded by her friends and relatives.

IS CHAMPION JURROR

Peter Doffin of Schererville Serves as Often as Law Allows. "When it comes to serving on a jury, I seem to be hoodooed for I am drawn as often as the law permits a man to serve, and always at the time when I am busiest on my farm," said Peter Doffin of Schererville as he waited tho summons of the judge to continue the case of Wenzel vs. City of Hammond. "This is the nineteenth term that I am serving in Lake county In addition to the time that I served on the grand jury at Indianapolis," he continued. "If there is a man in Lake county that has been on the jury more times than I have been I know how to sympathize with him. For my part. I know of nobody. The jurymen's fees are small when compared to the loss that one sustains through absence from his own business, and for weeks at a time. "Yes. I have asked Judge Reiter a number of times , to get off. but ymi can put it down that I did not offer him any money." FIRES THREE S Noble Morreli, Attempts to Kill Indiana Harbor Man.

Horse Driven Madly Down Douglas Street Collides With Plumber's Wagon Five Men Badly Injured as Result of Crash.

Two thrilling run-aways were staged on the principle streets of Hammond last night at the same time. On Douglas street, near Hohman, five men were injured, two of them severely, while at the corner of State and Oakley a frightened horse tore down the street hitched to an empty buggy which it soon demolished In the course of its mad flight. It seemed as if a runaway mania had suddenly attacked the horses of the city. One man was taken to the hospital with a fractured ekull and another was knocked unconscious and had to be removed to his home where he is now in a precarious condition. The accident on Douglas street was bv far the most serious of the two. All reports Indicate that the horse which was owned by the Whitaker stables did not run away but was being whipped at the time by the driver, Dan Sankey. Standing straight up in his seat, whip in hand he drove the buggy madly down Douglas street from Hohman. About a b'ock from the corner the horse and buggy encountered the Russell plumbing wagon. and being unable to guide the horse correctly, collided with terrific force into the approaching wagon in which five men, employes of the company were riding. With a crash that could be heard for blocks the occupants of both vehicles ' were thrown onto the i brick pavement, and Sankey was pin ioned beneath the overturned carriage, while Mike Wileyezki. one of the plumbers was knocked unconscious by striking his head against the curbing. A great crowd cf people, many of J whom were workmen returning home gathered around and assisted In releas- ! lng Sankey from the wreckage, whileethers snt in an ambulance call. The; driver was found to be in bad shape and was taken immediately to the hospital. Mike Wileyezki was ab'e to

KDIANA HARBOR Three Residences Entered by Thieves, Who Do Not Secure Much. ill FOX IS GREATEST LOSER i Diamond Ring and Two Watches Stolen From His Residence No One Arrested. (Speelnl to I.nUc County Times.) Indiana U.irhur, Nov. "5. Three residences in tliis oity were entered Saturday r,i'ht in the curly hours of the e cning and in one ease much vnluabla loot was secured. In every case tho parties robbed w re absent from tho house at the time, and it Is supposed because of this fact that the work wa dune by home talent. The houses entered were those of William Fox, city clerk and drugg:t; Oscar George, and nn unoccupied residence on Elm street, T!ie entrance was gained to the Fox residence by the opening of a front, first iloor window. Il.re every room was rifled and clothing was piled high io1. the lloor. There was not a placa : where jewels or money could have been seen ted that ;m not thoroughly searched. The hou.'-e c leaning resulted, j in the securing of two watches and a, (diamond rinir valued at $.'oi. This was j the biggest haul of the evening. At the George residence on First street, j the rooms wore illied in like manner, but owing to tho fact that all of tha valuables had been put in the safe tho thieves were unable to get any booty. I The gang of house breakers even went fo far as to break Into an unj occupied house w here two big boxes ! had been stored by F. 11. Connelly preparatory to moving in. All of tha clothes were taken from both of them. Anything the thUves didn't want they threw upon the floor. This, however, did not amount to a Krent deal, as there was nothing much that they left behind. The police have no possible clew to work on as no one saw the escape from either of the residences and no suspicious characters were seen about. CASE GOES TO THE JURY The Wenzel ca.e against the city of Whiting for $20,000 damages on the complaint that the latter appropriated two and one-half acres of ground for street purposes, was given to the jury at 4 o'clock this afternoon.

John Grigg, O. W. Elliott and Nickolas Thies. The shafts of the wagon were smashed but the horse was uninjured. Whitaker's horse was bruised and is suffering this morning. The carriage was badly damaged. It is said that the men had hired the rig from Whitaker for the purpose of driving to Dolton where Sankey was to be a witness in a trial. A funny, yet significant incident of tho wreck. Is that the only other occupant of the carriage, as soon as the smashup occurred, bolted at once for the state line and the last seen of him was when he crossed the line like a flash of lightning. It 13 not yet known who the man was and it Is not likely that it will ever be known. OnTy a rew minutes after thy left the Whitaker barn reports came In of the men whipping up the horse and treating it shamefully. P.eing able to stand it no longer he was in tha act of cranking up his machine to follow them when tho report reached him that the accident had occurred. No words are adequate to describe Mr. Whitaker's fe the treatment The owner ding when he learned ot of his hor.'c. of the horse which ran away on State stf. -t it 'was Impossible to learn. The hor?" was a spirited young animal and tore down the street at a terrlffic pace. At the corner of Oakley and State the carriage, which was a fine looking vehicle, was partially demolished by hitting a telephone pole, but the hors? was not stopped. Fracmnts ot the remainder were scattered along the street as far as Calumet avenue where the exhausted horse came to a standstill. By this time th carriage was a complete wreck.
