EAST GHIGAGO HOLDS IIS GOllEIIGEIIEIll

(By -Walter Wellman).

Which is the republican party? The

"White House or the big capitol on the

hill at Washington. The present presi

dent of the United States are the re

publican majority in congress? They

do everything and everybody policy or the do-nothing idea? The big stick or

the big cigar?

That Is the question. It is by long odds the most interesting thing before

this so-called convention. It is a question which, was raised yesterday, and which promises to inject into this otherwise dull and featureless affair at least the semblance of a fight. It appeared upon the scene yesterday morning when Attorney General Ellis of Ohio arrived in town, safe and snug within his inside pocket the only simon pure draft of the platform the draft bearing the thumbmarks and the O. Ks of the present and the future leaders of the party the man in the White House and the man he is trying to put there when he goes out. That draft of the platform contains no anti-injunction plank. This plank Is to be adopted if the Roosevelt-Taf t peopled have the power, and they think they have.' But opposition at once arises. Of course. The manufacturers and employers are up in arms. The railroad people likewise, not only about this, but about the threatened plank pledging to put federal restriction upon the issuance of securities. Men who travel on passes came to town in large numbers yesterday to fight these measures, and more are coming by every train. Memory carries us back four years, when the bullengine ran over little La Follette and gave him his pompadour national fame and a rich Chautauqua asset. . Here are all the elements for a bit of the real doings every one came to

Chicago to see. You may imagine how warmly it was welcomed by the onlookers at a convention in which everything seemed already fixed except the, vice presidency, and that only awaiting the proper hour and the telephonic designation from Washington. Here we see the corporations and the rich malefactors and several other classes of undesirable citizens lining up to carry on war against the heroic president who has fought them almost to a standstill. They are to have it out again, and in a convention where the heroic president is supposed to have all the trumps and the Joker. But this is not all of the story. We see before our mind's eye once more the struggle in Washington between the two ends of the avenue. We see the executive end sending in message after message demanding an anti-injunction law and an amendment to the

Sherman anti-trust act. We see the solons of congress, led try the light of the big . cigar, sitting in solemn conclave and refusing to do anything. The

other end of the avenue bides his time

Having been rather busy for a year or

more , in fixing up a national conven

tlon,, and believing he has. a few friends In that gathering, he decides to

appeal from congress to the people.

Franklin Fetterer, the attorney for the property owners on Washington street in Gary who desire to have that thoroughfare, opened to the public.

made the statement this morning that he thought the city officials of Gary would cease their efforts through their attorney, L. L. Bomberger, as represented by John F. Sawyer of Hammond, to uphold the vacating of Washington street, but If they did not he would file a paragraph in his complaint charging the city officials with fraud and conspiracy. Yesterday John F. Sawyer, acting for the city officials of Gary, filed a demur to the property owners complaint, and it appears that the city will assist the Gary & Western and other defendant railroads in their efforts to keep Washington street vacated. Why Are Trustee Interested? Attorney Fetterer says that he does not understand why the Gary board should take such an interest in seeing this street closed by the Gary & West

ern and other railroads when it would have the effect of cutting the city into two distinct parts, all for the purpose of saving the railroads the cost of

building a few subways. He says that the Gary & Western elevation would prove to be a regular Chinese wall through Gary and would destroy the value of i Washington street and other streets in the vicinity for business purposes. He maintains that the town - board has the right to regulate streets of the city, but not to give them away. The cause Is now pending In the superior court in Hammond and is likely to be a great legal battle, as both sides are furnished with plenty of funds with which to fight the case.

East Chicago, June 12, (Special.) Unprecedented commencement exercises for the East Chicago and Indiana Harbor schools were held last night at Indiana Harbor in the Auditorium. The beautiful opera, house was prettily decorated for the occasion and the stage especially presented a beautiful sight. On it were seated the nine graduates, six girls and three boys, the board of education, and the ministers who gave the invocation and benedic

tion. The program opened with a piano solo by Miss Lillian Williams, this being followed by the Invocation made by Rev. Walford. The high school chorus then sang Beethovens. "The Heavens' Resounding." Miss Lillian Dixon, who won the second honors of the class, delivered the salutatory for the high school. Her thoughts were excellently, exexpressed, the young speaker proving

herself a credit to her teacher and her school. Her subject was "Reading With Profit." "Our Flag the Best of All," was sung with enthusiasm, by the high school boys and brought down a volume of applause from the audience. "Echoes and Visions." Then followed the able address by the speaker of the evening, Dr. Austen K. deBlois of Chicago. "Echoes and Visions" was his subject and he succeeded in holding his listners spellbound. His address was brimming with suggestions and pointers for the graduates. The address was followed with a vocal solo by Miss Stone, after which Miss Grace H. Lusby, the valedictorian of the class, delivered her valedictory "The Beggers of the Sea." Miss Lusby is the winner of the gold scholarship medal offered annually by George H.

Lewis. The Auditorium was crowded, many of the audience standing. Superintendent E. N. Canine made one announcement which was received with regret by all the patrons of the East Chicago school. The announcement was to the effect that Prof. J. E. Newell, principal of the high school, had resigned his position on account of 111 health. The following are the names of those in the graduating class: Misses Celia Cohen, Mary Helen Davis, Ada Lillian Dixon, Grace H. Lusby, Leila Gertrude Mercier, Myrtle A. Spaulding Messrs. Karl Filson, Henry W. Peterson and John C. Stephens.

Winona Lake, Ind., June ll.--One of

the most Important questions to come before the Knights Templars of Indiana during the Conclave that is being held

here is the recommendation of Grand

Commander Vestal W. Woodward, that

the Indiana commandery endeavor to obtain the encapment of the United

States for Indianapolis in 1913. The encampment is held every three years and the next will be held in Chicago in September, 191Q.

While the time for making a cam

paign to obtain the encampment is

more than two years away. Commander Woodward said today that the time is

at hand for doing the preliminary work. His recommendation has been

so well received by the knights who are

here from over the state that they can be depended upon for active support In the movement, but Commander Woodward said it will be necessary for the larger commercial organiaztionsv the Commercial club, Board of Trade, the Merchants association and others of Indianapolis to join forces with the Indiana commandery and send a- force of

"boosters" to Chicago to land the en

campment.

Greatest Templar Meeting. "The encampment would bring to

Indianapolis the greatest Templar meeting held in the world," said Commander Woodward. "At least 50,000 visitors would spend a week in the city. In point of attendance, the encampment would equal the national conventions of either the republican or democratic ' parties. The encampment does not require a financial guarantee from the city entertaining it, but does require assurance that there will be ample hotel and similar accommoda

tions, in some of the cities where

the encampment has been held, thousands of visitors have been housed in big tented camps. But in 1913 I be

lieve tnat Indianapolis would have

ample hotel and boarding house fa

duties to take care of the visitors. The

amount of money the knights and their friends would spend in Indianapolis

during the week would repay for the

fcuvio ui lIJU cny many times over for" the effort required to obtain the encampment. The Indiana commandery will next winter complete at Indianapolis what will doubtless be the

finest temple in the world, and this in Itself would be some inducement for the national encampment to come to

the Hoosier capital. But it will take a

strong effort to obtain it."

ERIE RAILROAD GETS A LIFT.

J. P. Morgan & Co. Will Look After Its Fixed Charges for a Series of Years. New York, June 11. The financial difflculaies of the Erie railroad, some

of which have been removed or post

poned by the assistance given In the payment of $5,500,000 matured notes on April 8 last, have now been entirely overcome by an arrangement whereby the company is to be relieved of the burden of Its fixed charges for a series of years.
