Martin Iaauea Statement. Clilef Martin yostrnlay afternoon issued the following statement in regard to his policy with these bawdy houses in the future: "Gary has seen the end of the lawless saloon, and the riff-raff srnm of humanity whieh is continually floating into the city. The raid which was planned and executed by the police Saturday night is but the first of a scries that, will bf pulled off in case several of the saloonkeepers continue to operate as they have in the past. I intend to clear the city of every person who is not working or here for the nurnose of seeking employment. To this class of people and to the disorderly saloon can be attributed much of the crime with which we have had to deal with in the past." Forrr Una Ileen Inerenaed. Recently the police force has been increased from ten to twelve and all of the members are now at work. For Sf-TTK" they were compelled to patrol the city with a crippled force, for some time ther being not over eight men capable of cariner for a population of right thousand people scattered over many miles of territory. Under such conditions they found it next to impossible to clean up the dives and houses of crime. Their insufficiency in numbers made it impossible to take men oft their beat to follow up any specific crime without imperiling the remainder of the community. "Will ne Dispersed. Ever since the construction of Oary began the city has been filled with idlers who loaf and lounge around the city, living in camps and dugouts, living off from thedr fellow men or working long enough to get money with which to debauch themselves and caroua about the town. Time and again these men have been driven from the city by a concentrated effort by the police in droves of two or three hundred.- but In the future, however, "they 'will never be al'owed to congregate. If Chief Martin keeps his word Gary, will no longer-he the harbor of cutthroats, and bums that lias made life a source of misery for all persons with a semblance of decency. Hereafter all persons found loafing about the streets that don't look right to the police will be picked up on suspicion and either sent to jail or driven out of town Supplied With w Rules. Bawdy houses havie been supplied with a new code of rules as to how their places shall be run and they will be forced to live up to them. Many of them will be put out of business altogether if the present plans of the authorities mature. In regard to the saloons that have no county license Chief Martin stated that thought that most of the. would close up on their own volition, but he refused to state positively that he wouldTclose them "up if they did not. He said that developments would tell, whether or not It would be necessary to take this action. Business Is plrking up. Proplr arr raininx bark to town.

rise and read the resolution concernpolitician out of business in the na- ing the death of Grover Cleveland tional conventions, so the politician Tuesday in the convention, when the

docs not like Roosevelt and Bryan. The politician has his side to the controvery. He has spent at least $100 of his good money coming to the conventlon. Probably the average would be nearer $200. He has to take a week or ten days from his business, and to I get fthe election as delegate he has to make a fight in the district or state convention, which costs him more time and more money, and when he gets to the national convention he finds the presidential candidate named, the platform written at Chicago, and. left to Brvan at Denver, and all the politician

has to do with the convention is to dead, rowed by the dumb, went outfuss with th delegates from his state ward with the tide." It is the last who shall be national committeeman of the old regime when democracy

and explain when he gets home why lie did not vote ror some one else lor vice president. Serret Ballot Mould Defeat Him. Time was when a delegate to a national convention was some one, but now, under the regime of Roosevelt and Bryan, he is as inconsequential as a presidential elector, and this Denver I convention, which is a replica of the Chicago convention in many ways, is 1 , it in the strong undercurrent of ' feeling there is against the- man in the , partv whom "the .people del:ght to honor. A secret ballot in this convention wouid defeat Bryan, and the way Politicians obey orders. They smile and pretend to like, but they would, revolt if the dared. But they have the theory of republican delegates, that the people are radical, and that politicians must pretend to be whether they are or not. So Alton B. Parker, who might be a leader here if the delegates were candid and sincere, is an old four

if?,- v a? '4 y spot in a new deck, and while every one knows him, no one pays attention to htm. The best that may happen to Judge Parker will happen if Bryan in Lincoln decides that Judge Parker may convention adjourns out of respect to j the memory of the ex-president and in compliance with the promise to the merchants of Denver, who have been promised a four days' convention. To Mourn Ills Death f To be allowed mildly to mourn the death of the only democratic president elected in half a century with strict injunction not to allow his grief to get into politics, is a reasonably severe limitation to be put upon a man who led the party four short years ago. It remains one of Tennyson's line at ; the death of King Arthur, when "The 1 stood for the least possible governmental Interference with private al- , fairs. BISHOP RHODE JULY 29. The date for the consecrating ceremonies attending the elevation of Father Paul Rhode of Saint Michael's Roman Catholic church in South Chicago to the position of auxiliary bishop of Chicago, has been set for July 29. The ceremonies will take place in the Holy Xamej cathedral at 10 o'clock in the morning. The consecrating bishops have not yet been named, but they will be seleeted during the next week, ! Church dignitaries from all over the United States will be present, and as Faher Rhode is the first Poltsh priest in the United States to be honored by an auxiliary bishopship the affair is doubly important.

Little is known of the murder except that Turkulza was stabbed after a brief but bitter quarrel on March 8, 190S and that he died a week later from his injuries. Chief Martin received word that Datlich was living in what is known as the Hungarian flats in East Gary, and he at once sent Officer Jurich over to look for the man. Jurich had a good description of the murderer and soon found him. Datlich was placed under arrest and at the police station admitted the crime. The Omaha police wired that Datlich's brother was implicated in the murder and asked that an effort also be made to find him. Police Seeking For More Clews.

Hammond, Whiting and East Chica

go Line Is Also Affected By the Change. The fact that an issue of $1,000,000 of first rehabilitation bonds of the Calumet and South Chicago Railway company is expected this week and makes the operating agreement which has been formed between th local ami the Chicago City Railway company especially important. The contract . between the two companies was approved by the city council last Monday. Altogether the rehabilitation of the Calu met and South Chicago Railway com pany will cost about $.1. Oho. 000 and is to be carried out during the succeed ing three and one-half years. The ordinance to the Calumet and South Chicago City Hallway company passed March "u, Puis, required this company to form an operating agreement with the City Railway company and to make an effective zone of transfers. Company Makes Agreement. The City company agrees to operate the street railway system of the Calu met and South Chicago Railway company and to place this zone of transfers In operating, according to the terms of the Calumet company's ordinance. For the purpose of this operation the Chicago City Railway company agrees to establish separate departments of transportation, maintenance and real estate, having in charge the management of the local system. It also gives the Calumet company the services of its expert, law. engineering, claims, purchasing and real estate departments, which will make a great saving for the company. What It Will Give in Return. The Calumet and South Chicago Railway company in return agrees to pay the actual cost of this operation and joint costs are to be paid by the two companies in proportion to the gross receipts of each, with certain exceptions which are stated in the agreement. H. M. Sloan, the present general manager of the Calumet system, will be retained by the city company in the same capacity. The City company also agrees to furnish repairs for the cars of the Hammond, "Whiting & East Chicago line, the Calumet company paying the cost of and proportions of depreciation and interest on the investment, as in the case of power stations. 'rw Bonds to Be Issurd. While the City company agrees to carry out the provisions in the ordinance relative to the rehabilitation, the Calumet and South Chicago Railway company will furnish the capital to back the undertaking and rehabilitation bonds will be issued by them. With the advent of the Chicago City Railway company taking hold of the local system, the traveling public can be prepared for a great change in the service. One change that has already been assured is that the Chicago City company's cars will run through Cheltenham and Windsor Park, thereby furnishing the residents north of Seventy-ninth street with one fare to any part of the city. Looking over the proposed handling of the local system it seems as though the traveling public will get the most benefit of the change. ELEVATI0NSG0IN6 UP Track Project in Gary Will Use Teams About the Tenth of Month. One of the biggest projects in Gary, the elevation of the Lake Shore, Baltimore & Ohio and Indiana Harbor railroad tracks through the city and the changing of the entire route of the two first mentioned roads through Gary, will be officially completed when the passenger trains begin to run over the elevated tracks, between the tenth or fifteenth of this month. People who have not visited Gary do not realize the magnitude of this undertaking. It was one of the staggering undertakings which seems to have been accomplished with the ease with which the county commissioners would vacate one gravel road ami build another. Built for Many Miles. For miles through Gary the tracks have been elevated to a height sufficient to permit the wagon roads which now cross the tracks to go under them instead. At Gary great concrete retaining walls have been built and It is here that Broadway drives under the railroad tracks and enables the workingmen who come from the mills to cross under them in safety. The freight trains have been running over the elevation for some time and as soon as the passenger trains are run over the elevated tracks the other tracks will be torn up and this part of the city will be tidied up. The union station which Is to be built jointly by the Lake Shore and Baltimore & Ohio railroads will not be built at the present time, but a temporary station will be constructed to meet the present needs of the company. The information regarding the decision of the road to run the trains over the elevated tracks were conveyed to the town board by F. H. Wilson, the general superintendent of the road.
