Indianapolis, Ind., July 14. Mr
John V. Kern, wife of the candidate for vice president, left n minis child to discuss current political topic, and Rome other matter. The youngest child, Will, had a had tooth; hi lusty yells for hi other opiikr well for hi lungs. "He think no one but hi mother can IT a bit of cotton down on that tooth," said Mr. Kern, "hut I think hi winter can do It jut a well." Verifying this prediction, the crie of the youngest Kern uhlded in time, whereupon the other gained courage and talked enthusiastically upon every subject that cae Into her mind. "I see by one of the papers," said Mrs. Kern, "that John lias he n through the ordeal of being interviewed by a lady reporter. She asked him to take off his hat so she could look at his hair, gazed into his eyes to get the color, examined his teeth and then glanced furtively at his socks. Joke About John and Lady Reporter. "When I read that my heart beat fast, let me tell you. I sail to one of the neighbors who was'here: 'My, but I'm glad I bought John that bright new pair of socks before he went to Denver. He said he didn't like them much, but isn't it lucky they were good and loud in color, for the woman reporter has been looking at them. "Some of the things I read in the papers about us make me smile. One reporter writes that John is a teetotaler, which is right, and then says he keeps a bottle on the sideboard for his friends who call. Let me make it clear that there is no bottle on the sideboard in this house. We have no cf.cktailr. either. We don't want any wines on the table and don't intend to have ;iny whatever happens. "John has served his time. He used to drink when he was young and had the good sense to quit it. "The day he left off whisky was as big a day in his life as the day he was nominated for vice president, don't you think so? Iloewn't Helleve In Sunday Saloon. "If anybody asks me if I believe in a liberal Sunday, I think I should say yes. But I don't believe in Sunday saloons. 1 am in favor of closing saloons Sundays and stopping liquor selling on that day. Hut there is much to be said on both sides. "John and I once were driving on Sunday and were just outside Indianapolis, where they drink all they want to any day of the week. We passed a furniture van half filled with beer kegs. Ten or fourteen men were filling cups and drinking beer as fast as

I've had relatives in the army and I know what it means. To let soldiers serve as bartender sin an army post Is outrageous and humiliating. "Our woman's club here in Indianapolis have worked to accomplish reforms along these lines. We are most proud of our success in stopping Sunday ball playing. (really Interested In Clubs. "I am very much interested In clubs. Members of the Fortnightly club, one of our best literary clubs, called on e this morning, but I was at the tailor's and could not meet them. They should have let me know about it. "One of the ladies told me how proud they were to have in the club the wife of a real vice president. Mr. Fairbanks, and the wife of a man nominated for vice president, who Is to be elected. "That was nice of them, wasn't it? But I feel sure tlected this time, that he will win. the boys say? Oh, that John will be Something tells me I have what is it yes, a 'hunch' that this time he is bound to lie elected. "I guess I am a model wife for a politician for I am a good loser. John has been defeated once fir supreme court reporter and twice for governor, so I am used to it. Laugh at "John Trouncing." "It would make our friends laugh if they knew how easily we in th:s house take defeat. The last time John ran for governor is a good example. The nomination had been forced upon him. They told him he must take it to save the organization. So he got in and did the best he could. "We had been prepared to lose, but, of course, we had not been expecting such an awful trouncing as we got. 1 think John lost by 97,000, if I remember right. "I ought to say right here that it is not true that John ran behind the ticket that time. He did not; he was about 12,000 ahead. He has always led his ticket by 10,000 to 12,000. "Anyway, the news came In and we saw what h;;d happened and then ent to bed. In the morning we looked at each other and it happened to strike us both at the same time that we had been wiped off the earth. John said I it to me and I said it to John. Then we laughed. We couldn't help thinking how astonished our political friends would have been f they could have seen us that morning." Federal Furnace Company Takes on 500; Illinois Steel Co. 300. Eight hundred men will have been put back to work by tomorrow in two of the mills of South Chicago. The Federal Furnace company it South Dcering took on four hundred men this morning and expects to take on another hundred tomorrow morning. At the time when the mills closed down last November 400 men were thrown out of employment. Last week the company was swamped with orders for pig iron, with the result that more men will be put to work than the company has ever employed. W. Ii. Hubbard, the superintendent of the plant, said this morning: "We have plenty of orders to warrant us taking on a larger force of men than we have ever had and from the present outlook things will remain prospero us." Three hundred men were put back to work at the Illinois Steel company blooming mill No. 2 and the structural iron work No. 1 was opened this morning and promises to remain open. The Illinois Steel company, which has a capacity of 11.000 men, is now employing about 6,500 of this number and the outlook is that every week several hundred more men will be taken on until the limit is reached.

FIRE CAUSES LOSS DFS7.00D BUHD1NG Fine Residence of Louis Dahtman is Destroyed Origin'' a Mystery. MRS. DAHLlWAN IS INJURED Six Hundred Dollar Piano Is Burned i and Many Other Valuable Pieces of Furniture Are Lost. Fire of unknown origin yesterday totally destroyed the fashionable residence of Louis Dahlman, 1293 West Niney-third street, entailing a loss of $7,000. Mrs. Dahlman, who was in at the time the fire started, tried to save several valuable pieces of furniture and was taken from the house irr a badly exhausted condition. The fire was first noticed by a little girl who told Officer Lyons of the Grand Crossing station that there was a fire down the street. The officer immediately turned in the alarm within a few minutes the fire companies arrived on the scene and in spite of the efforts of two engines the (lames continued to gain headway and the entire inferior was gutted and the majority of the heavy timbers used in the frame was desroyed. The house has only ben built about a year and was one of the most Ideal houses in the neighborhood. Before the flames had been extinguished a crowd of nearly five hundred collected to watch the fire. The fire started from one of the top floors and although unknown is sunposed to have been started by mice gnawing at matches. Mr. Dahlman stated after the fire that he was not aware that any matches were in any of the rooms on the top floor but said that such a thing was probable. y The question that confronts the fire department is: How could the fire gain such headway In so short a time? The supposition that the fire was of incendiary origin was advanced but es Mrs. Dahlman had been in the house during the entire day this theory was dismissed. Among the' valuable article or furniture destroyed was a piano which was valued '"at $600. The instrument was of a well known make and was built to order. 2 Two accidents occurred nt the Illinois Steel company, one of them of a serious nature. Ignatz P.elewloz. who was standing on a scaffold repairing a crane, fell from the scaffold a distance of twentyfive feet and suffered a fractured skull. He was taken 'to the Steel company's hospital. Tom Deloviski, who was working with a'gang of men moving scrap iron, suffered an injured foot when a heavy piece if Iron fell on his foot. He was removed to the hospital where it was found necessary to amputate one of his toes. What yon want and don't nee, ask for through the columns of of classified ds on page 7.

Confess That Story Is Too Much for Them. A thin, smooth shaven man with a curious far awny look in his eyes walked into the office of the Indiana state penitentiary at Michigan City yesterday afternoon at 5 o'clock nnd stepped up to the desk at which J. D. Held, warden of the prison, was sitting. "My name is McCarty," he said, in a matter of fact tone. "I broke my parole with you three years ago and I've come hack to finish my sentence." "All right," the warden replied. "I've been expecting you. Just step this way." Half an hour later the seme man, in a prison uniform, came out of a cell In an upper tier, passed down a narrow corridor, and took his place in a line whtch was filing toward the prison dining room. His number was 5,784. And that number marked the end of William McCarty's journey. Strange Journey Described. The first part of the strange journey was described yesterday evening by The Times. McCarty started from North Yakima, Wish., July 8, with nothing but his railroad ticket and a firm conviction, gained, during a series of Salvation Army meetings, that it was his duty to return to Indiana and redeem the parole he had broken years before when he got drunk and hit' a, man over the head in a street fight.' In Chicago he "stopped off" for a few hours and had a talk with several Salvation Army officers. Then he went to Michigan City. When he arrived at the prison he found that his story had preceded him. Upon learning that'he was on his way the prison officials began looking up his record. There was no "William McCarty" on the prison books, but after a little search it was found that Thomas McCarty had begun his sentence for grand larceny in 1903, had been paroled in August, 1905, and had broken his parole In Octobep of the same year. , Before the record had been discovered, however, it was learned that there was no William McCarty on ths prison books and that at S o'clock in the morning he had not called at tfce penitentiary. The Salvation Army,, it concluded, had been victimized, and an announcement to this effect was printed. Seeks Old Friends. Meanwhile McCarty was looking up a few old acquaintances in Michigan City he drove an ice wagon while he was on parole and making preparations to bury himself,, perhaps for the rest of his life. Then, late in the afternoon, he stuck his little bundle under his arm and walked to the prison. "He was perfectly cheerful about it," said Warden Reid. "In all my experience I never knew of such a case as this. No extradition papers, no officers of the law even paying his own fare! I must confess it's one too many for me." T Every Member of East Chicago Council Present and Much Business Done. Fast Chicago, Ind., July 15. Th council met Monday night with every member present and Mayor De Brlae presiding.

The streets are One Hundred and Fortv-fourth in East Chicago, and One Hundred and Thirty-seventh and Beech In Indiana Harbor. They will re paved with macadam and a Westrumite dressing on top. Mr. Ahlborn expects to begin work in about ten days. The bids for furniture for the new city hall were then opened. There were four bidders, as follows: The Mary company of Chicago, $8, 27. 35; AH. Andrews company of Chicago, $9,006; the Wallager Manufacturing company of Milwaukee. J7.2G3. ami the Perby Desk company, Chicago, $7,998.50. None of the bids were accepted Monday night as Alderman Lewis thought a committee should see the furniture itself and not to buy from pictures the various firms had for display. Tho same course was pursued In the caia of the fixtures. The bids and bidders on the latter were Toledo Chandelier Manufacturing company, $2,195; E. Baggot company of Chicago. $2,850; Williamson and company, $2,376; Illinois Gas and Electric Fixture company. $1,989.50, and Charles Polacheck and Brothers company. $2,800.
