Both the Denison and Claypool hotels were thronged vrith men whose names are daily in the public prints. The Denison was thronged , with democrats here for the Kern noti- , ficnUon and the Claypool was thronged with republicans. It wonld have a beautiful sight If the two camps bad got together but they didn't. Prominent among the republican at the Claypool were Senator James A. Hemenway, Congressman James E. "Watson, candidate for governor; Governor Hanly. James P. Goodrich, state chairman; Fred Sims, secretary of Ftate and acting state chairman; Carl W. Riddick, secretary of the state committee, and many members of the state committee. IMncus Campaign Tlnns. They had gathered to discuss campaign plans and to arrange for the opening of their campaign at Ft. Wayne tomorrow night.

At the Denison were Mr. Bryan and Mr. Kern, of the national ticket; Charles Bryan, brother of the commoner; Sen ator Charles A. Culbertson of Texas; and the following officers and members of the national committee: Norman E. Hack of Buffalo, chairman; Ulrey Woodson of Kentucky, secretary; Tom Taggart from Indiana; R. M.

Will Hays, chairman of the speakers bureau of the Republican state committee, has conferred with Vice President Fairbanks and Governor Hanly relative to their participation in the state campaign. Inasmuch as both will be in demand by the national committee It was thought advisable to set their Indiana dates immediately. Both the vice president and the governor have agreed -to give most of their time to the partv within the state. Gives lp Entire Month. Senator Beveriage has promised the entire month of October to the state committee. He will make at least twenty speeches. John L. Griffiths, consul at Liverpool, has also promised his entire time during October. He is regarded as one of the most accomplished speakers in the country. He never fails to charm his audience and to entertain and instruct it. Prominent among the democratic delegations here is the marching club of Kentucky Colonels in uniform and headed by a band. They came from Louisville by special train and called on Mr. Bryan and Mr. Kern in a body.

WAS VERY SAD TRAGEDY

Death of Benj. Given Brings Out Sad Facts About Relative. Indiana Harbor, Aug. 25. (Special) The details of the tragedy in which Benjamin Given, the Block avenue shoemaker, lost his life, have been the cause of considerable comment during the past two days. Given, although fatally injured by striking his head against a rail, retained sufficient strength to walk to the heart of the town, where he was found, covered with blood, and well nigh exhausted, by local police officers. Given was 37 years of age and leaves a wife and two children in Russia. It is reported that he recently sent them money to pay their fare to Indiana Harbor. It is not believed, however, that they have left their Russian home. Mr. Given had been visiting his sisters, Fanny and Sarah Given, who reside in Chicago. Boarding the 8:30 Lake Shore train, known as No. 20, he little thought he was going to his fate and settled comfortably in one of the cushioned seats. As the train ap proached Indiana Harbor he fell asleep and was in a semi-lethargic conudition when the station was called by Conductor Beach, of Elkhart. He was aroused by the jar accompanying the motion of the wheels and glancing through the window, saw the Harbor depot disappearing In the distance. Running to the vestibule, he saw the distance growing greater and decided to risk his life. Unfamiliar with the proper method of alighting from trains, he clenched both hands and jumped. Local dispatcher Louis Reglin, who was standing in the vestibule at the time, declares that he heard a sound resembling that bf a pistol. He concluded that the man had been injured by falling against the west-bound main lead and so Informed the conductor. Instead of stopping the train and attempting to save the man's life by prompt medical attention, the train ran on to Gary, from which point the Harbor police were notified. While on their way to look for Given they met him,' suffering with a deep scalp wound and a severe fracture of the skull bones. Dr. Sauer, who rendered efficient aid, declares that the man must have had wonderful vitality to withstand the shock to his system for over ten hours. The remains of the unfortunate man were taken to Chicago this morning for burial. They were accompanied by Albert Given and H. Rosenthal of East Chicago, and the family of H. Bremen, of this city, all or whom are cousins of the deceased. The corner's inquest is being held in the parlors of Mortician Teal today under the direction of Deputy Coroner E. R. Gordan of Hobart. A verdict of accidental death will be returned. All Seek Foreign Trade. Owners of even the smallest tcy manufacturing establishments in the Nuremberg district. Germany, cater to the foreign trade.

City Has Club of Coke Users Who

Meet in a South End Saloon. The source of supply for many af the cocaine fiends of Gary, who are un questionably numerous, was learned Sunday afternoon in the arrest of Charles Hall, who when searched, was found to have a pill box filled with the drug In his possession. Together with the pill box was found a prescription signed "Dr. Jones" with a label of the Borman-Watson Drug Company on the box. Hall told the police upon being questioned, that he had been receiving his supply of the stuff from Dr. Jones for some time and that he knew of many others who had been receiving it from the same source. Police Work on Case. It is not known whether or not any one will be prosecuted for the whole sale distribution of the poisonous stuff among the fiends, but the police are working on the case and if anyone can be held on a criminal charge, this will be done at once. It has been said that Dr. Jones has advised with an at torney as to the legality of selling the drug to persons who secure it on his prescription and he was told that he could not be held criminally. The attorney from whom he is said to have received this advice, could not be Guard Who Gave Bond For $10,000. 1VA.1'. V a. i A .V'.V.-.v.-.v V .

They seem to have 'no trouble in getting all of the stuff they want, and the person who has been largely responsible for the securing of the drug has been suspected.

Contractors and Building Assn. of Gary. FAIR RECEIPTS $6,000 Enormous Success of County Fair Evidenced by Monies Taken In. Crown Point, Ind., Aug. 25. (Special.) in a rough estimate of its receipts this year the golden jubilee fair management gives $6,000 as somewhere near the amount taken in during the four days meeting of the society. Some idea, therefore, can be gained of the rapid growth and advance made by the association, whose receipts in the year 1853 amounted to somewhere around $9S for the entire session. The management has been put to enormous expense this year in providing free attractions and premiums but will probably come out with a few hundred dollars in its favor.

Support of Business Men's Association

Must First of All Have Sanction of Secret Committee. It now appears as if the action of the Gary Catholic church in formally enouncing the action of the merchants associaiton In refusing to donate or charitable purposes until the matter had been passed upon by a secret committee, would develop into a wholesale case of boycotting. The church will refuse to trade with merchants who follow this policy and it Innkn t the present time as if the latter would not rescind their position in regard to the donations. No Donations. The matter was first brought to tha ttention of the the church, when tha ladles who were about to give a church upper, went to the merchants and were turned down by all the members of the organization. Thev were told that they could not contribute until the donation was passed upon by this committee, under penalty of a fine. Because of this fact, the women were unable to raise the necessary money which led to the controversy between the church and the association. Father Jannen Falls to Appear. A high official of the business men's association stated yesterday that they had held a meeting In which they had given Father Jansen a chance to argue the matter at a special meeting of the board of directors which was recently held, and that he failed to appear. Ha also stated that they were in a position then where they would consider the changing of the resolution so as to be satisfactory to both parties, but that he thought If the church intended to take an arbitrary stand in the matter, that they would not give in an inch. Can't Support Own Church Under Plan. Members, of the Catholic and other churches feel as if the business men ought to support charitable projects without question, and that it should not be necessary to have this question passed upon by the secret committee. In this manner they say that a man cannot support his own church if ha belongs to the association and abides by the recent rule. They also intimate that there are a few merchants in the city who are not members of the asso ciation and that if the members of tha congregation are unable to secure tha necessary provisions in this city, they will trade out of town. The merchants passed the resolution which has been the cause of the recent friction, in an effort to his upon some method which would eliminate the bleeding of the merchants like they have in the past, in various manners. The amount they pay out each year for such purposes they declare, is enormous, and that every project which is put through of a charitable natura they were requested to support it. They claim that they are willing to ba reasonable in the matter, but cannot donate money on every request. OFFICERS ARE ELECTED The meeting of the stockholders of the Bake County Directory Association was held in the PhlTlips building in Gary yesterday afternoon and steps were taken to hire the canvassers who will at once' begin the work of compiling the directory.
