Gary Attorneys Get Cold Feet When Asked to Take Action Against Chief of Police J oseph Martin Last Night. m GOES OVER 11 WEEK Hearing Is Set For Next Monday and Attorneys Harris and Bretsch Are Involved In Sensational Case Which Attracts Considerable Attention Over Region. Chr of Poller Joseph D. Martin j ytertlay presented to the town board ! of Gary a petition In which he requested n full Investigation of the ehargen vrhloh have been made against him by five of the tiary attorneys. His request was fcrnnted. and a sperlnl mrrtlns; of the board was called for Monday afternoon where a hearing of the matter will be heard. Here, the town board will act as judges In the matter and the result will mean either the resignation of Chief Martin or the condemnation of the attorneys who have preferred the charges. Wants a Vindication. Martin has felt the charges that have been made against him deeply, and as he stated in the petition, he demands a complete vindication or dismissal from the force. Popular opinion seems to be larg-ely in his favor, but in spite of the favorable sentiment the officials desires a public hearing in the case, so that thPre will be no opportunity given to question whether or not the whitewash was used to settle the difficulties. The date for the bearing of the evidence of '"conspiracy" was set for next Monday in the city clerk's office. The members of the town board will act as judges in the matter, and Chief Martin will employ an attorney as an advisory iariug the "court martial." If the partis who signed the petition default the board will regard this as evidence that they did not have sufficient proof to back their assertions. Oliver Holmes Appointed. The resignation of President Edward Jewell of the board of education was handed in and accepted, as The Times stated would be done, yesterday. Mr. Jewell aspires to a .higher position as supervisor of buildings, which position it would he impossible for him to hold while a member of the board. A surprise was sprung after the office was declared vacant when Oliver Holmes was selected to fill the vacancy. A short time ago when his term expired and it came time to appoint some one else, the place was given to City Engineer A. P. Melton. This was construed to mean that Oliver was slated to be "dumped," but the developments yesterdr.y tend to entirely discredit this. Instead of being re-elected to th treasurorship he was made the president of the board of education. May Forfeit Property. When the hoard reached the petition for the improvement of Nineteenth street, it was the signal for the representative of the Gary real estate board to start the fireworks in opposition to improvements of this character. "William II. Fitzgerald, president of the organization, showed the board of trustees where it would be folly to order such improvements as the one before the house. Mr. Fitzgerald made an interesting talk and went on to show where, in many cases the assessments for various improvements exceeded the market value of the property. "The p.-titioners who ask for the improvements out in the jungles where they can be of no possible use for some time to come, are generally persons wiio do not understand what they are doing." said Mr. Fitzgerald. "If the assessments keep getting very much higher many of the property owners will have to forfeit their property for non-payment of taxes and this will cause a decrease in property values." They Got the told Shoulder. The Gary lawyers who have petitioned the town board to in ve;f icri t n the alleged conspiracy between Chief of Police Martin and Attorney Clarence Hretsch, by which Uretsch is said to have secured the bulk of the justice court business, were given the cold shoulder at the meeting of the Garv Bar association last evening and were plainly given to understand that the circulating of the petition did not meet with the approval of the majority of tho lawyers in Gary. So far. there are only five lawyers who have signed the petition and that Is out of a total of forty-five lawyers in Gary. The Gary Mar association adopted Its constitution and bylaws and then took up the matter of the conspiracy charges. C. M. Rennolett made a speech and followed it with a motion that conditions in the police department be investigated. This was overruled, on the ground that the Ear association had no right to investigate the police department. Other motions along this line were overruled until finally "William Fitzgerald made a motion that the rela-

A committee consisting of William Fitzgerald, Harvey J. Curtiss and W. IT. Hodges will meet this week to take up the matter. Most of the lawyers in Gary regret that any question about a conspiracy lias been raised. The principal lawyers in Gary say that it gives the people of the whole Calumet region the idea that all of the lawyers in Gary are a hungry pack who are snarling and snapping over a few justice court fees, when lawyers will ordinarily not take these cases if they can find other work to do. WATSON TALKS TO PARTY MEN. (Continued from page 1.) governed states in the Union. Massachusetts was the other. He said that (luring the past republican administration laws had been passed providing for factory inspection, the regulation of child labor, the regulation of thel abor of women, the limiting of the hours of labor, laws requiring manufacturers to put safety devices on their machines, and laws requiring that wages be made payable in money and not in various commodities. Mr. Watson said in conclusion that the party had selected a bully good fellow in Richard Schaaf. He said that Schaaf had the ginger in him but that he could not do all of the work and that he would have to have the co-operation of all of the members of the party in Like county. Other Republicans Speak. County Chairman Richard Schaaf then spoke briefly and then . Introduced istrict Chairman A. J. Hickey of T-aporte. who spoke on organiaztion. He was followed by Judge Virgil S. Ueiter, who made a rousing speech, and by E. W. Wickey, Tom Grant, County Auditor Charles Johnson, M. J. Brown, W. I". Bridge, Or. E. M. Shanklin, Sam Abalman, B. E. Eseher, John McFadden and several of the county committeemen. In the afternoon Mr. Watson met a great many of the workers of the region and talked with them about various things of interest to them. The meeting in the afternoon ended one of the most strenuous preliminary campaigns which could be. imagined, and after spending several days in this locality Mr. Watson says that he is exceedingly well pleased with the outlook. He returned to Indianapolis this morning. x INSURANCE CONVENTIONS THIS YEAR.

HE I11S FOR II

W. J. Bryan is Said to Frown Upon Vice Presidential Aspirations of J. W. Kern of Indiana; Latter is Called Turn-coat. HOPES JUOGE . " WILL WIN -OUT Tom Taggart's Candidate Faces Re bellion Even In His Own State Delegation Delegate Overroad Boosts John Mitchell for Second Place. Henver, Colo., July 1. I Spe4 eial.) A telegram has been reoelved here from Judge tieoTge Gray stating that he will not 4 take second place on the ns tlonal Democratic ticket. His 4 manager snidi "If he Is good enough for the second place, 4 why Isn't he good enough for 4 first " v! Lincoln, Xeb., June 30. John W. Hern of Indianapolis la coming to Lincoln to find out whether or not he will be a candidate acceptable to William Jennings Bry an on the democratic ticket. Kern is expected to arrive tomorro wand to seek an interview with Bryan at onee. Kern will be told Just where the master of Fairview stands on the proposition. He will be told plainly that Ilryau Is for Judge Gray of elaware for second place on the ticket, provided, always, that Gray can be Induced to accept the nomination. One of the first Questions that will be put to Kern is on his ability to control the vote of the Indiana delegation. "Tom" Taggart lias been the most consistent boomer of Kern for second place. There is decided opposition to him in his own state. W. H. Kverroad, a delegate to the national convention from the fourth district of Indiana, visited Bryan today. Kverroad Is anti-Kern and pro-Mitchell and he , is making no secret of his views on the subject. As things look at present he is not prepared to vote for Kern at any stage. Calls Kern a Turncoat. "Kern has Seen a turncoat." said Everroad, "he has not been consistent In his advocacy of Bryan's candidacy. "John Mitchell is my man. He will add 50.000 votes to the democratic ticket in Indiana and he will make it possible for us to carry the state for Bryan. He would be strong in Ohio and In Illinois also. "Tom Taggart is booming Kern for personal reasons. He is hot representative." "And what did Bryan say on the

t S

--fc- -"fs ifS -i- . -4 - subject?" Everroad was asked. "Well, eh ah ah, he did not say much." was the reply. "I cannot say i that he. gave me much encouragement. Bryan personally is favorable to Mitchell, but I doubt whether he thinks that he would be the strongest man that could be named for the place." "How about Judge Gray?" "Bryan is very much in favor of the nomination of Judge Gray. This I think I can state without betraying anything that Bryan said to me in confidence." And thus the matter stands at present. Bryan himself this afternoon let drop a remark that shows that he is in hopes that Gray can be induced to accept second place on the ticket. And it might as well be said right here that Bryan does not for a moment fear the outcome of the balloting in Denver on the presidential question. He knows where he stands and all talk of a possible revolt does not worry him in the least. The Commoner in its coming issue wll claim that Bryan already has SOT votes instructed for him or pledged to him. "It will depend a great deal on the feeling of the convention who is named for second place," he said. "If everything goes off harmoniously there may be a dispositon to concede to what is called the other wing of the democracy, the nomination for second place.' "Does this mean Judge Gray?" be was asked. You will have to draw your own conclusions on the subject. " was his answer. Wants Compulsory Arbitration. Another point in regard to the platform that Bryan is shaping during his leisure moments at Fairview leaked out this afternoon. Those who are close to the Lincoln leader say that the labor plank will contain a proviso favoring compulsory arbitration in labor disputes. The next few days will be busy ones for Bryan. Thirty-one special trains carrying delegates to the Denver convention are scheduled to stop off in Lincoln before July 6. A large number of prominent men from different parts of the union will visit him at Fairview. The traveling men's banFriday night, undoubtedly will sound the keynote of the campaign although Bryan's part will be a mere perfunctory speech. He will not talk on the political situation until after the Denver convention. COMMISSION PLEASED Chicago Harbor Men Are Shown Some Wonderful Sights Yesterday. The Chicago harbor commission completed its inspection of the rivers and harbors of the Calumet region yesterday and at a banquet which was given at the Gary hotel every member seemed pleased with the result of the jaunt. The party left Hammond in automobiles and journeyed to Kast Chicago where, at Grasseili, they took a launch and rode down the river to the Gary limits. They then returned bor in the launch and to Indiana Harafter an inspection of the took a tug city in automobiles tliey out of the harbor to the Gary crib, which they inspected. After that they went into the harbor at Gary and after visiting the site of the new plant of the Indiana Steel company they were taken to Gary and dined at the new Gary hotel. The arrival in Gary was at 0 o'clock and the return to Chicago was made an hour or so later. F. A. Delano, the president of the Wabash railroad, who was a member of the party, declared that he had had a delightful trip and was greatly surprised with what he saw in the Calumet region.

M 32 LETTERS IN NAME Man With Longest Name in the City Visits South Chicago. The man with the alphabetical name visited Soutli Chicago yesterday and while here distributed several of his business cards among the local business and professional men. Following is an exact reproduction of the gentleman's card: " I Nicholas Angelina Pappatheodorkoumountolackopolous Wholesale and Retail j I Ice Cream Ma u n factn rer. ! T69 One Hundred and Twentieth St. j ' Chciago. Nick has the honor of having the longest name in Chicago and he is proud of it. Time and again the postal authorities have been driven to the erge of suicide with the name, and more than one carrier has asked him to cut off the last twenty-five lctWs, but Nick flatly refuses on the ground that his name is altogether too classical to be chopped off so abruptly. Mr. I'appathe etc., is quite a business man and says he gets from two to six letters each day, sometime they put on the whole name, providing there is space enough and again only the first ten letters are used.. However, nothing pleases Nick more than to get a long envelope with his full name written across the face. When asked if ho did not have the card put out more as a novelty than for business purposes, Nick was very much insulted. Mr. 1'appa theodorkou mount olackopolous is a Greek and can trace his ancestry back for several ages, when his forefathers were great warriors. After making the rounds in South Chicago Nick left for his home In I'll rnside. BRIGHTON ACADEMY ONE HUNDRED YEARS OLD. North Bridgton. Me., July 1.

Mather, President, Nye County Ore Reduction Co., My Dear Sir: After seeing the demonstration made in our plant of the effect upon metal bearing ores of the "Process" controlled by your corporation, and a thorough understanding of the plans of operation as laid out in the erection, of the mills to apply said "Process," I am convinced that your proposition is based upon a safe, permanent, and extremely profitable basis. The fact that you deal with a KNOWN QUANTITY, the ore after being mined, appeals very strongly to me as also the additional fact, that you run twenty-four hours per day, the mill earnings are continuous. Were this proposition presented to me in the late fall I should tindertake the construction of the mill upon my own responsibility. I consider it to be a personal advantage to me to aid you in the construction of this mill in every way that completion and installation may be accomplished at the earliest data possible. Very truly yours, ANDREW WICKEY. The following copies of original letters will show the several opinions of our share-holders:

From Dr. S. A. Bell, Dentist, Hammond. Edward H. Mather, President, Nye County Ore Reduction Co., My Dear Sir: The investment you are promoting appealed to me from the very first time you laid it before me. My experience has shown me that the milling end of the mining industry is the only safe and conservative one. I am perfectly willing to have you present this proposition TO MY BEST FRIENDS, which I should not do under the ordinary mining proposition. I hope to sea the first mill in operation at an early date and desire to aid you in every way possible. (Signed.) S. A. BELL. From J. J. Ruff, General Hardware, Hammond. Mr. Edward H. Mather, President, Nye County Ore Reduction Co., My Dear Sir: This letter is given to show my appreciation of the character of the Investment you are offering, and to aid you in raising the balance of the funds necessary to build the first plant. Had your enterprise been the developing of a mining property, I should not have taken any interest in it. But, the fact that you deal with proven mines, elminates the speculation as to the final results. I can readily see that the dividends will be assured to the share-holders as soon as the first plant is installed, which I trust will not be long and I am anxious to aid the enterprise in every way possible. - (Signed.) J. J. RUFF. Froic 3. T. Hutton, Architect, Hammond. Mr. Edward H. Mather, President, Nye County Ore Reduction Co., My Dear Sir: I have been "stung" a few times In mining investments, having to do

with the development mines; out your proposition gives me an opportunity to "even up," as you handle the ore AFTER IT IS FOUND, and be measured up and a certain definite tonnage produced daily Hope some of my friends will benefit by your having seen them. I'm very anxious to see the first mill running, as dividends will be coming regularly when it is Installed. (Signed.) J. T. HUTTON.
