Denver, July 7. One of the many ! little chores that Tom Taggart. as national chairman, has to perform, is to f find seats for all the Indianians who wish to attend the democratic national j convention. There are about 500 of , them here, including delegates, but Mr. ; Taggart's promise Is out to see to it : that every Indiana democratic voter here sees the convention in whole or in part. One hundred and eighty of , o00 were taken care of by the tickets issued to delegates and alternates. J Rich delegate got three tickets besides' his own. The others will be looked after by .loseph Reiley and Myron King. Mr. Taggart's representatives in this J lT.atter. By the judicious use of ser- j geant-at-arms and doorkeepers" badges i and a libera! drawing on Mr. Taggart's j
supply of visitors iickcis. pa nu.rticket being divided among several persons, Mr. Taggart is keeping his word. Ticket! Only for Voter.
At the meeting of the Indiana dele-j gates last night the delegates and al-j . ticket were issued by John t
W Kern, chairman of the dcegation, and he informed the other Indianians present that they would have to see Mr. Reilev or Mr. King. He made a little speech to the delegates, telling them that though he was more fond of the . nnn alee present
women than was any oot

Since the arnuu i m-
ial train yesterday aner-
noon there have been many inquiries as to whv the delegation was not doing something for the Hoosier candidate, and there are many expressions of dis,..,1 ti,nt tbe delegation has not
taken some steps to get the plum for Indiana. Rut the same answer that has been given for the last several days is still given that Mr. Kern is not an active candidate, and the delegation is observing his wishes in keeping quiet. The explanation is regarded with more or less suspicion, but still nothing is done, ami the do-nothing policy have not raised their voice in protest, except in private. The plan remains unchanged to hold a meeting of the delegation after the nomination for president is made and decide then whether anvthing ought to be done to push Mr. Kerns candidacy for the vice presidency. Tom Ha Tnhen Care of Hoolfr. Indiana lias its share of officials in the convention. Mr. Taggart was. of course, the whole show at the opening exercises, and Indiana has an unusual number of assistant serjeants-at-arms, doorkeepers and convention helpers generally. The state also has a vicepresident of the convention, selected at the same time the members of the various convention committees were selected. Frank B. Ross, of Indianapolis, has been appointed an assistant secretary; Joseph Reiley. a reading clerk; J. C. Venn, chief assistant sergeant-at-arms; C. V. Krnst. of Decatur, a tally clerk.' and Ernest Brasley, of Sullivan, messenger to the chairman. The Indiana delegation has a splendid
location in the convention hall. :re seems to be no reason why
diana shoud not enjoy herself to the utmost.

convention and was not even allowed representation on the most ordlnary committees. Hell Make Bud Mf of It The presiding officer, Theodore A. Bell of California, made a lamentable mfss of his first public appearance as a
parliamentarian through a ruling which j
cannot be sustained by any possible theory of parliamentary law. I do not believe any such arbitrary action can be found in the history of any national convention in the last quarter of a century, and it is no wonder the Pennsylvania people and all those who do not belong to the ruling element are astonished that such action should be taken at the outset of what was promised to be a harmonious gathering. The steam roller at Chicago of which so much was said, the despotic rule of Speaker Reed in the house of representatives, or the domination of the emperor of Russia over his newlv cre
ated legislative chambers was nothing ' compared to the short shrift which as given to Guffey and his followers.'
They were run over in defiance of every possible rule of parliamentary law and were deprived of rights which were given to them by an overwhelming vote of the party. All this was done without any debate and in a fashion which does not speak well for the fairness of the controlling element in the convention. BV JOH TEMPLE GRAVES Denver. Colo.. July 7. Whatever the failures and short-comings of the democratic .platform, now in travail with
the committee. Mr. William Jennings Bryan must boar the burden of them all. The autocrat of this Denver democracy cannot escape the responsibility of his own decrees. For he is lord and emperor here. His royal edicts sent from' Lincoln are the more binding upon his people than an imperial ukase. Not Nicholas in Russia.nor William in Berlin, and certainly not Kdward at Windsor, is more
absolute in power. There was never a i

That is substantially the present law, law, wltli the exception that It would, perhaps, prohibit the issuance in the future, if such a law wer- enacted, of blwanket injunction writs which go so far as to cover alleged abuses or infringement of the law that are now within the jurisdiction of common Justice court.

Mr Gompers now has T plank that would in his opinion, prohibit the issuance of a writ enjoining the working people from lioing those things which, if they were a violation or the peace, could be handled by the ordinary processes of law.

The industrial skies are growing clearer and new men are being put to work at the different pla nts , through the Calumet region each week. Only vesterday seventy-five new men were put to work at the Illinois Central shops In Burnside. These seven ty-live will be followed by twice that number during the course of the next two weeks, which will bring the total orklng force to over 5.0110. The first half of the year, with all of its trials and tribulations, has
passed over and is now a matter of history. The makers of iron and steel lire looking forward to the last six: months of the year, confident that they1 will see a return to the practically nor- 1 mill conditions and the dawn of another vear of prosperity. Plenty of present orders at Pullman, increased activity at Burnside, South eering and West Pullman, with better prospects at the steel mills and the $2.-t.o6o addition to the Western Steel far & FoTtncTry" company at "Hegewisch certainly argue well for the Calumet district. The steel manufacturers argue that the present slack condition of business makes everything look all the more favorable for the fall season.' The crops everywhere in ie country
j are reported good, and financial con- : ditions are much Improved over those existing five or six months ago.' One reason for the delay of iron and ' steel orders is that the railroads and other large corporations begin hooking their orders with the fiscal year, which j is July 1. This is done in order that
their annual balance sheets might make as good a showing as possible. Orders for steel rails are expected in large numbers during the course of the next two weeks at the Illinois Steel company. Over 23,000 tons of iron ore was received In South Chicago yesterday. 13.000 tons going to the Wisconsin Steel company at South Deering. and 10,000 tons to the Illinois Steel company. In all, over ."0,000 tons of ore has been received in South Chicago for the steel ills, which certainly shows that the mills are in business. One of the worst things a citizen can do to knock his town is to go out of the city and put up the story that thousands and thousands of men are unemployed in his city.
Dyer. Ind.. July S. Mrs. J. Herrman. of this place, suffered a painful accident last Monday afternoon when she was thrown from the buggy to the roadside, the fall causing a brok ,-n collar bone. In the buggy with Mrs. Herrman at the time, was Peter Klassen, her son-in-law. Had Attended Funeral. Mr. Klassen and his mother-in-law had been to Hanover Prairie, where
they attended the funeral of Mrs. Bat-
terman. On their way home they met an automobile coining from the opposite direction. The animal had barely noticerl tlie machine when it began to show fright and its driver. Mr. Klassen. had all he could do to control it. The machine approached rather slowly, its driver seeing that the occupants were in no danger. The horse and machine met. the horse havirg in the meantime crowded near to the edge of the road and when they were opposite each othr, the horse jumped sideway, landing in the wire fence and leaving the occupants of th- buggy in the ditch. Not Seriously Injured. Mr. Klassen was badly shaken up by the fall, although he was was not seriously Injured. Coming to the assistance of his mother-in-law he found that she suffered excruciatingly and that her head was laid open by a wire cut. The occupants of the machine, having noticed the accident, stopped and came to the rescue of the injured people. They put the injured woman in the machine and hurried to Dyer, where they left her at home with her daughter. Mrs. Peter Klein. Dr. Chevigny was summoned to administer to the unfortunate woman.
"Except in the case of a death or insanity, the city cannot refund to a saloonkeeper any amount which had been previously pail for a saloon license. Therefore h" saloonkeepers who are requesting the return of part of the money paid for a city license, because of the fact that they are eonipelled to close their s.h,ons in th absence of a county license, cannot btrranted the proportionate sum for the time in which the city license is still In force." Boniberger" Opinion.
i This is the gist of the opinion of j City Attorney L. L. Bomberger, render- j ed to the Gary hoard this afternoon, on the subject which has been of great in- ;
terest to the saloonkeepers and other interested citizens. The owners of sa- ; loons had hoped in the event that they I were forced to quit business that they i would be refunded a certain amount on j their city license, as it was still unex-j i pired. One of these was Alex Hart- j man, who was being represented by j I Bomberger' s associate, Attorney H. V. i
Call. Hartman wanted $25 from the: city because he was unable to continue in operation and his city license costing j him $100 had only run for three-fourths j of the time. There Is no question but ; what the board would have been will- j ing to give this money back to the sa-
loonkeepers if it had been legal to do
so. Knnpp Appear Before Board.
Attorney K. K. Knapp of the Si eel Company, appeared before the hoard with disappointing news in regard to the extension of Fifth avenue to Miller. Throughout the entire distance the street would necessarily have to run through property owned by the Steel Trust's interests. This would in all probability conflict with their plans for
this property in the future, no matter where the road was put, as their plans are yet immature and it would be ''in- j possible for them to choose the best course. He suggested that the matter be dropped until spring wiien they would be better enabled to handle the ma t ter. This decision, which seems to be final, was rather a bitter pill for the city
offieials, who had hoped to have a direct entrance to their neighboring city on the east. It would probably be of benefit to both cities in establishing communication, but would probably be the means of Gary's ultim itely establishing a Lake Front pfirk which was tie nigger in the fence on that proposition. That was Gary's finest opportunity, and it may yet be that by ex
tending Kleventh avenue in i zig-zag course, it will be possible to grasp a section of that valuable property before it lias all been st ized. The town board seems to concur with the local trustees in their opinion on this project. Plan to Extend Avenue. The plan to extend Fifth avenue to Miller has been the pet scheme of May
or Knotts for some time It would mean that in a short time Miller would become a part of Gary and then the town board could do the rest. Tins would also tend to make Fifth avenue one of the longest and fiivst in th: stat. When en l i rely . corcpl t " d it would run from Hammond to Miller in a direct course. A communication was also read from
W. K. Abbott, general superintendent of the Chicago Telephone Company, in regard to the installation of service in Clark, now a pa''t of Gary, that they would consider the request and that as soon as the business in that city showed signs of warranting it. the service would be clven. This will probably be. he states, in a few weeks. The residents of Clark are very desirous now that they have become a part of a metropolitan city, to derive the benefits thereof, and Gary is doing all in its power to help it. At the board meeting City Clerk Oliver Holmes reported the remarkable fact that of the approximate "Oft holders of property alontr Broadway where the recent assessments were made for the improvement, all hut thirty-eight of them had signed the waiver sheet, by which they will not be forced to pay cash. Those that did not, however, will he made to pay cash or their property will be sold for taxes.
