Reports Comes From Indianapolis That T. Taggart Will Go to U. S. Senate From This State if Democrats Are Successful

KERR 10 GET 11 RRFflT U r u Republicans and Democrats Expect to Make a Battleground Out of the Old State One Party Is Well Equipped The Other Is Not However. (Special to The Times.) Indlnnnpolln. Intl., July 14. Does the nomination of John AY. Kern for the vice presidency on the democratic ticket mean that Tom Taggart will go to the Inited States senate from Indiana next winter If the democratic are successful in the coming campaign? This question, frequently heard since the Denver convention, is being answered in the affirmative by many politicians. These think that Taggart forced Kern on the ticket to get him cut of the way in the senatorial fight that will develop if the republicans lose the general assembly. It is a well known fact that Kern did not seek or wish the honor that came to him. Personal reasons, involving matters of business and health, to use his language, prevented him from being a candidate. TACGART PICKS HIM OUT. The Indiana delegation did not push Kern until after the leaders, Taggart among others, had picked him for a winner. Not until Thursday evening of convention week did the Iloosiers at Denver get active in Kern's behalf. The nomination was made the next day. It Is generally thought that Kern Would have been the unanimous: choice of his party in this state for the senate had he remained off the ticket. As It Is, he probably will be sidetracked whether the national ticket wins or loses. Plans for the big nonpartisan welcome for Mr. Kern are progressing. Committees have been appointed and details are being worked out. The demonstration will probably be held "Wednesday night although it has not been definitely determined when the nominee will return home. MAYOR IS RESPONSIBLE. Mayor Bookwalter is personally responsible for the celebration. He holds Kern in high regard and is urging all citizens and organizations, regardless of political affiliations, to participate. Vice President Fairbanks will make the address welcoming the nominee to his home city. This recalls a bit of interesting history. Four years ago Fairbanks came marching home with a nomination and Mr. Kern, who was president of the Commercial club, made the principal address. In responding to his gracious words, Mr. Fairbanks expressed the hope that he some day Ight have the honor and pleasure of welcoming Mr. Kern under similar circumstances. This wish, viewed in light of present conditions, seems to have been prohpetic. V PECULIAR COXIXCIDEXCK. Strangely enough Mayor Holtzmnn, a democratic mayor, introduced Mr. Kern to welcome Fairbanks and now Mayor Kookwalter, a republican, will introduce Mr. Fairbanks to welcome Mr. Kern. Citizens will meet the nominee at the Union station and escort him to the courthouse lawn where the celebration will be held. The demonstration will be strictly nonpolitical. There are more republicans than democrats on the various committees and the principal participants are practical- all republicans. Republicans rejoice that an IndianIan was honored by the Denver convention. They do not fear the result, however. They Insist that state pride will not cut any ice and that Mr. Kern, while universally esteemed and loved, will not draw any more than the regular party vote in the state. STATE A niTTI.EGIlOrXD. The republicans realize, however, that Indiana is to be a battleground and they are preparing to wage an unprecedented fight. They probably will spend more money, conduct more meetings, run more special trains and circulate more literature than ever before. The democrats, too, expect to fight hard but they are handicapped by lack of money, lack of resources of other kinds, and lack of a competent organization. SOUTH DAKOTA REPUBLICANS. Mitchell, S. D.. July 14. Nearly 500 delegates were, in their seats at noon today when the republican state convention was called to order by Chairman W. C. Cook of the state committee. The work of the convention will be mostly of a routine character. In addition to ratifying the state ticket chosen at the recent primary the convention will formulate and adopt a platform of resolutions for the approaching campaign.

Location of Gasolene Cans Causes Police to Think Fires Were Purposely Started. Gary had two fires last evening which were discovered through the vigilance of its policemen and might have caused a great deal of damage if they had not been discovered at their inception. One fire was in the saloon of John Simasko, whose place of business is at the Intersection of Sixteenth avenue and Massachusetts street, and is believed by the police to be of Incendiary origin. Fire in Siasko's place was discovered at 3:30 this morning and was seen to be burning in three different places. Officer John Mulcahey happened to be passing the place and saw the flames. Fire Behind the Bar. He at once rushed into the house and after securing a pail succeeded in extinguishing the flames he discovered behind the bar. He had no more than completed this task than he discovered a fire in a nearby bedroom. Again he took a bucket and succeeded in putting out the first, when he discovered the third fire in the kitchen. He went to work and with the assistance of some bakers who were aroused by that time there as no difficulty in extinguishing the flames. It was Simasko's place which was discovered to be on fire some time ago and the destruction of which was prevented by the timely arrival of a Gary officer ho discovered the fire and put it out. Mayor Knotts, who carries the Insurance on the place, was so pleased with the officer's vigilance that he gave him a new hat. There is $5,000 insurance on the place and the fact that two fires have already been discovered in the place, and the last under circumstances which arouse gravest

suspicion, lead the police to believe that they have all been of incendiary origin. Gasoline Cans Misplaced. What would further substantiate this theory is the fact that an oil can and a gasoline can were found out of their accustomed places and in the yard. This would make it appear that the fires had been purposely started. The police and the insurance company in which the policies are held are making an investigation. The other Gary fire was discovered by Officer Gust Newman of the Garypolice force, in the residence of John Kriews, which is located on Washington street, at the corner of Twelfth and Thirteenth avenues. A lamp was set under a lace curtain in such a manner that the curtain was set on fire. The flames were soon extinguished and there was very little damage done.

Vice President Charles W. Fairbanks Owing to Prior Engagement in Michigan, is Unable to Come to Gary For Big Celebration.

JULY 23RD. IS FIXED AS DAY Naval Feature of Celebration Is An Assured Success and Gary Commercial Club's Plans Are Assuming Definite Shape After Several Disappointments. The plans for the celebration of the arrival of the first ore-laden boat In the Gary harbor are fat developing from n stage of embryo to something definite and tangible. "With an Infectious enthusiasm the Gary Commercial club members have Knur about the work of Mec-urlug the speakers until now It has been assured that Congressman E. 1). Cruinpacker and Congressman James H. Maun will be present. They have sent in their acceptances and the project of deep waterways wlil receive u great deal of impetus as n result cf their visit to Gary. The exact date of the arrival of the ore boat E. II. Gary has been set for July 23, and it will be on this date that the Gary Commercial club will extend itself in an effort to make a great celebration of the affair. Vice President Disappoints. A special train has been secured on the C, L. S. & K. railroad over which the guests will be taken to South Chicago to meet the E. II. Gary. The only disappointment which the committee has met so far is the fact that Homer J. Carr, after traveling all of the way to Indianapolis to personally invite Vice President C. AV. Fairbanks to be present, discovered that his trip would be in vain, for the reason that the Indiana statesman has already accepted an invitation to participate in a celebration in Canada. It is very probable, however, that some one who would be equal to the vice president as an attraction can be secured and that the Commercial club will entertain many distinguished guests on the occasion which means so much to the city of Gary. Prospects Are Bright. The developments in the past few days look as if the original elaborate plans could be carried out in detail. There has not been one serious thing to cause a hitch and the arrangement committee is most optimistic over the prospect. The revenue cutters and the training ship Dorothea have received permission from the government to escort the Gary Into the Gary harbor and to fire off a salute of twenty-one guns. This makes the navel feature of the celebration an assured success and will be a novelty that has never before been seen in the middle west. The plan of having the members of the Commercial club go to South Chicago with their guests, where they would meet the E. H. Gary and her escort, has been made possible because of the fact that the C, L. S. & E. railroad is willing to give the special train for the purpose and will run it near the harbor at South Chicago. Ceremony To He Impressive. After the arrival of the boats in the Gary harbor and the salute has been fired, the congressmen will give short talks from the bridge of the boat, after which a buffet luncheon will be served to the party. The steel mills will then be inspected and the parade through the city will follow. A few distinguished government aterway officials have been invited to be present and a number of them have accepted, among them being T. M. Jamieson of the light house commsission, and Will Ames, RACDTG AT TERRE KAUTE. Terre Haute, Ind., July 14.
