FOR STATE REPRESENTATIVE

Seems No Question of Nomination Health Good Now Enthusiastic Over Prospects.

Hon. Ed Simon, after being urged by the democratic party leaders in the county to again make the race for the representativeshlp of Lake county, has consented to have his name placed on the ticket tomorrow at Gary if the party still wishes it Early this week a delegation of leading democrats waited on Mr. Simon

with a view of inducing him to permit his name to be brought before the convention as the nominee. That ho will

be nominated is an assured fact.

"It Is only after I have been urged

on all sides," said Mr. Simon to The

Times, "that I have again consented to accept the nomination if it is offered

to me at Gary tomorrow. When I re

fused it some time ago, I was sincere In my refusal, and I though that I might stay it of the race this time.

Still, since I have given my consent, I

will give my best efforts to the party.' Mr. Simon is in good health now, al

though he has gone through much

illness himself as well as with his fam iiy.

Mr. Simon is in Chicago today in a

conference with Governor Johnson of

Minnesota in order to induce the governor to come to Gary tomorrow to address the convention. Governor Johnson speaks at Rock Is

land, 111., this evealng and has already promised Mr. Simon that if there would

be an improvement in his health condition, he would glady come to Gary. The democratic leader is at present suf

fering with a very severe cold, but

hopes to overcome it by tomorrow.

Mr. Simon in speaking of the convention is very enthusiastic. "It may

be," he said, "that the ticket will not be completely filled tomorrow, but it

surely will be when the campaign ad vances."

Owing to the press of business at St.

Margaret's hospital and the inclination

of some people to trespass upon the

time and good nature of the Sisters

of St. Francis, a new set of rules has

been passed which on and after today

will be strictly observed.

Rules of Admission. The hospital is opent to receive patients from 7 a. m. until 6 p. m. Emergency cases, accidents, etc., are admitted at all hours of the day and night. All applicants piust have1 an endorsement by their medical attendant. Children are not admitted.

Visiting hours in the wards are from 2 to 5 p. m., Sunday, Tuesday and

Thursday.

In the private rooms the hours are from 9 to 11 a. m., from 2 to 6 p. m., from 6 to 8 p. m., daily. In cases of extreme illness, visits of nearest rela

tives are not restricted to regular days

or hours. Visitors must exercise the

utmost diligence in preserving quiet

during their calls.

Children are not allowed to visit patients. This rule is imperative. The

noise made by them in talking, run

nlng etc., not only interfere with the

usual order of the hospital, but is often a great annoyance to the patients

Children accompanying visitors must

be kept quiet and in good order.

Visitors are respectfully requested to leave when the bell rings at the ex

piration of visiting hours.

Clergymen of any denomination are welcome to visit the hospital at any

time.

HANLY READY WITH SPEECH

Greetings Were Sent to Vice Presi

dent and Offers of Aid Are Made.

Indianapolis, May 1. (Special.) Delegates from Indiana to the republican national convention in June met here this afternoon to perfect plans for carrying on the Fairbanks campaign in the convention city. Practically all the delegates and alternates were present, the notable absentees being Senators Beveridge and Hemenway, delegates-at-large, who were prevented by official duties from leaving Washington. James P. Goodrich, state chairman and a delegate-at-large, presided at the meeting held at the Claypool hotel. Arrangements were made for obtaining commodious quarters at the Auditorium and for obtaining elaborate badges that will proclaim to that part of the world at Chicago that Indiana is for the vice president first, last and all the time. Charles S. Ilernley, an alternate-at-large, announced that he had arranged for the use of twenty-five automobiles

with which to entertain delegates from

doubtful states. These machines will

be donated by a large manufacturer at

Newcastle, where Mr. Hernly lives. It had been thought that a chairman of the Indiana delegation might be selected but this action was postponed in view of the absence of Senators Beveridge and Hemenway. The re-election of Harry S. New as national committee

man was also deferred to a future

meeting fully attended. Governor Hanly, who is a delegate

at-large, attended the meeting and was congratulated on having been invited by the vice president to place his name in nomination. Those who heard the governor's eloquent speech at the recent state convention anticipate a remarkable nominating speech. Greetings were sent the vice president and the delegates formally extended to him all the aid in their power. The meeting was enthusiastic and wonderfully harmonious.

WALKING MATCH WILL

BE BIG EVEN1.

Indiana Harbor and Hammond 3Ien Will Walk Regardless of Weather Conditions. It has been found that neither contestant in the great inter-city walking match that is to take place tomorrow between Jim Kroupa and Joe Kamradt from Indiana Harbor to Gary, will be able to weigh in according to the plans and specifications as prepared by Architect J. T. Hutton of Hammond. As both contestants are determined that the match will be pulled off regardless of age size or weight, they agreed to accept catch weight and disregard the restrictions which originally 'were laid down for them. The rumor that Kroupa had trained 'down to 206, which is two pounds below the weight prescribed for him in Mr. Hutton's specifications, was proved without foundation, when both - men, dressed as they will be for the great ;ethletlc event, weighed today.

Indiana Harbor, May 1. (Special.) The Herman Tapp Construction company yesterday completed the structural work on the C. I S. & E. railroad bridge over the canal at Indiana Harbor. Fred Tapp, who is in charge of the company's work, says their part of the B. & O. work will also be finished by Saturday, after which they will devote all their time and attention to the Pennsylvania bridge. This company is also building the Inland Steel company's tunnel, which work is being pushed with a vigor that promises an early completion. The Lake Shore substructural work, which Is being done by the Lake Shore's own force, is also nearly done. It is now but a matter of a short while before the Strabel Construction company, who hase the iron work of several of the bridges proper, will get to work setting the great iron beams and girders in place, which is the final work. All of this iron' is already on the ground and the various sections are together as far as it is possible for them to be before being put Into place In the actual bridge. .Just when trains will be able to pass cf the bridges is not known, but it

will doubtless be very soon.

? MEETING WAS ENTHUSIASTIC. The democratic mass primaries at East Chicago for the purpose of electing delegates to the different conventions to be held in Gary were very enthusiastic. The meeting convened in the city hall and it was called to order by Dr. Robert Spear, who acted in the place of William Reilly, who was absent. Dr. Spear was later made permanent chairman. There were 48 delegates elected and enthusiasm ran high.

ANOTHER TEAM WANTS GAMES. The Lincoln Athletic club wants to arrange for baseball games with teams fifteen years of age. Address Edward C. Handloren, 321 Fischrupp avenue, (Whiting. Ind.

TRIAL IS PROGRESS

Dealers Proven to Have

Meats in Icebox That Were Putrifying. Considerable progress was made yes

terday in the S. L Elsler case in which the Indiana Harbor and Gary grocer was charged before Judge Reiland

with violation of the pure food laws.

.rive witnesses were heard for the prosecution and three for the defense and after a long and tedious hearing the case was continued for one week in order to give Prosecutor Boone an

opportunity to prepare a brief in sup port of the state's case.

The argument which necessitated this

brief was over the interpretation of

the pure food law. The warrant un

der which Eisler was arrested charged the grocer with "having on exhibition

and for sale" certain meats and poul

try that were considerably "over-ripe

Had the warrant charged him with malntaing an unsanitary refrigerator, there need have been no difficulty in

convicting the grocer, for it was proven conclusively that the ice box contained

meats which had reached a certain

degree of purification.

There was nothing, however, to show that these meats were offered for sale and their presence in the refrigerator

was not merely an accident.

SHOOTING SCRAPE IS NARROWLY AVERTED.

A shooting scrape was narrowly

averted in Gary yesterday when Constable Frank Chambers made an effort to attach a buggy belonging to , the Gary Homestead company and in care of Frank Bierwagon.

Bierwagon resisted the constable and

drew a revolver and threatened to shoot Chambers. The constable was saved by

the prompt action of Sergeant Catey, who grappled with Bierwagon and finally disarmed him.

Bierwagon was arrested for carry

ing concealed weapons.

The court said that he wife is entitled to a third of her husband's land except to the extent that she has surrendered it by signing a deed or mortgage, and that whatever the land will sell for In excess of the mortgage, not exceeding a third of its value, belongs to her, except so far as the statute expressly provides the contrary.
