RUN NG

IS Yates Men Are Busy These Days Invading South Chicago. Governor Charles S. Peneen was pictured as a man who held a club over many men In public life by for mer Governor Richard Yates, who be gan his circus tent campaign in Chi cago last night. "lCspionagf," the former governor and present candidate for nomination for the same office, said, "is the worst of all the things to be charged against Governor Deneen. He announced in a recent speech that all the things that should be told about certain men have not been told, but might be yet. "You may expect to hear something in the way of an attack from Governor Deneen in the near future against me or some of my friends. IMsraeli, when premier of England, said that there were three kinds of lies, plain lies, d n lies and statistics." Started at Cottage Crow. The circus tent campaign was started at Cottage Grove avenue and Fortysixth street. lie began in the homo territory of his arch enemy, John II. Thompson, and notwithstanding a big rain storm, his tent was full. He made a second speech later at Sixty-second street and Cottage Grove avenue. He then announced that he would make three speeches In each of the wards of Chicago, which leaves 103 speeches to be made within the next thirty days. One of the strongest attacks made by the speaker aside from that he made on what lie termed the "Chicago Newspaper Trust," was on Governor I'eneen's position In connection with the direct primary law. "When Governor Peneen was mak ing his campaign in 1003." he said, "he. pledged himself to bring about the passage of the direct primary law. He had two of these laws passed, but neither was worth the pnper it was written on. Then in IfiOtf a law was passed by a new legislature that was controlled by the governor. There were r90 men who voted yes on this new direct primary law, while only 7S.000 voted no. More Meeting; Promised. "I am inclined to think that the "K,000 voted not because they could foresee what a political ring would be able to do in the way of nullifying such a measure." While the crowd that gathered at the Sixty-second street tent waited for the coming of Mr. Yates, they were addressed by Gus Nolle. Henry Rathbone and Municipal Judge Fetit. Meetings will be held tonight at Princeton avenue and Forty-third place at 7:30, and at Seventy-first street and Princeton avenue at S:30.

GROWING BUSINESS CAUSE OF CHANGE

The South Chicago Times Compelled to Move Into Larger Quarters. AT 9049 COMMERCIAL AVE. Calumet Region's Livest Newspaper and Best Advertising Medium on Ground Floor. Inadequate space necesitated the moving of the office of The South Chicago Times, Room 15, Elncon building, to larger and more convenient quarters. 9049 Commercial avenue. Increased facilities and light, together with the location on the ground floor, will enable us to handle with greater dispatch the increased business in all departments of the paper.

Bnalneas lias Grown. There has been a steady increase In the various departments of The Times since Jan. 1, 190S, due in one respect to the annexed territory in which the paper is circulated. The field, which is known as the Sixty-third street district, comprising such suburbs as Farksiile, Ilryn Mawr, Grand Crossing and a portion of Woodlawn, has been entered since the first of the year and the paper has grown in favor to such an extent that advertisers have taken advantage of its columns. As an advertising medium the business men throughout the great Calu met district have shown their appreciation of the results attained from time to time, and as a faint idea as to the patronage accorded Thh Times the second quarter of the present year, notwithstanding the stringency of the times, a few facts and figures are given below: Malt en Great Gain. During the month of April The South Chicago Times edition, being only one of the three papers published by the Lake County Printing & Publishing company, carried 2,r05 inches, and estimating 20 inches to a column would slightly exceed 125 columns. In May there were 1.480 inches, or 74 columns; June, 1.500, or 75 columns, making a grand total of 274 columns of advertising, which la more than all the other publication in the Calumet district, combined, carried. The above figures prefer exclusively to display advertising and does not In any sense Include reading notices and other classified and minor advertisements. A special feature of the advertising now running in the columns of The Times is the page of display ads, carried in addition to the other permanent advertisers.

There is no event which is so significent in that it marks one of the final stages In the growth and building of the new steel city of Gary as the opening of the Clary harbor and the Gary Commercial club has taken up the matter of arranging a celebration with Its characteristic energy and aggressiveness. Circulars are being sent out to the members of the club in which they are notified of the celebration which will be given on the occasion of the opening of the harbor when the steamer K. H. Gary, the leviathan of the United States Steel company's ore boats, will arrive in the newly completed harbor. To Hold Special Meeting. There will be a special meeting of the club at the Binzenhof hall on Wednesday, July S at 3 p. m., when the matter of arranging for the celebration will be taken up. The circular goes on to state that no matter of equal Importance will come before club for the remainder of the year and the attendance of all of the members is requested. The opening of the harbor by the arrival of the F. H. Gary the latter part of July is the real beginning of an era of production in the great steel mills.

Harbor An Important One. The Gary harbor is one of the most important on the south shore of Lake Michigan and with the enormous amount of tonnage of iron ore which is to be brought in to be converted into steel in the new steel mills, it is expected that the Gary harbor will quickly become one of the most im portant ports on the great lakes. The program will include the recep tion of the officers of the boat and a banquet will probably be given at which the officers of the United States Steel company will be present. It will be the biggest event since the famous banquet of the Commercial club when Governor Hanly, James Watson and other notables were present. L F Remonstrance Leaders Say They Have Not Been Paid for Services. Just another little angle of the remonstrance matter developed this morning it: Gary when the information was given out that the saloonkeepers' association would be sued by several of a party of eight men who were employed during the hearing before the commissioners to secure evidence of fraud in the securing of the signatures to the remonstrance. It is claimed by the eight men who will file suits this week that they were hired by the saloonkeepers' association for a stipulated sum and that after waiting several weeks for their remuneration they received but half the amount that was due them. The coterie of men who were employed Included three attorneys, all of whom it is said will file suits. The men were employed for the purpose of scouring the country and each signer of the petition was cross-examined ns to the methods adopted to secure his signature. Whenever a case was found that developed reasonable grounds for believing fraudulent methods were used, the person was subpoenaed to appear before the commissioners to testify. The men worked several clays driving about the country and also in the city. One of the attorneys believed they could reach a satisfactory settlement before they filed their cases.

The Gary town board went into a special session yesterday for the purpose of receiving the petition which it was understood certain Gary attorneys would present, asking that the alleged conspiracy between Chief of Police Martin and Attorney Clarence Hretsch to give Bretsoh the police court business, be investigated. There was considerable surprise when the attorneys present announced that they would not present the petition until the Bar association had made its investigation and the evidence secured by it could be introduced. The Bar association meets this evening to hear the report of William Fitzgerald, who is the chairman of the committee which was appointed by the president of the Bar association to investigate the charges. When this report is In it will be presented to the board at another session, to be held tomorrow, and it is expected that action one way or another will be taken then. A. G. Ballard, who is one of the attorneys who is pressing the case, was asked if the failure to present the peti- . tion was not an indication that the! matter would be dropped. J Ballard said: "he end is not yet. ' We do not propose to drop the charges and we will probe the matter to the bitter end." George Hornecker of Whiting Will go Into Business at Geneseo, 111.

Young Man's Action Astonished the Hotel Clerk. At a certain Troy hotel a young man and woman from the country called for a room just after the dinner hour and were accommodated. The young man requested that dinner be sent, to his wife and left the hotel for a few moments. Meanwhile a waiter was sent to the lady's room with a bill of fare. She took it from the waiter, glanced over it with close scrutiny, and then, passing it back, remarked: "This ain't for me. I don't want it!" Said the waiter: "Why, it's a bill of fare;" to which the young woman, who evidently hadn't traveled, again replied: "Yes, but you have made a mistake. It ain't for me, I know. I don't want it." Going downstairs the waiter met the young man and explained to him. He marked off a dinner and passed on. The meal was served, and shortly afterward the young husband came trudging unsteadily down to the office with the salver full of empty dishes in his hands, and depositing them in front of the astonished clerk, sti'l further astonished him by the remark: "Here's the dishes. We've got through." Rehoboth Sunday Herald. When yon ko awoy on j-imr vncatlon.
