LEIilUEL OARROW APPEARS BEFORE BOARD
One of the best bits of news that has been given out to readers of The Times, was learned yesterday to the effect that the Wisconsin Steel , company at Irondale, will soon commence the construction of a. gigantic wire mill, which, when completed, will employ from 700 to 1,000 men. A Times man In visiting the Wisconsin Steel company and conferring -with several of the main officials that conditions at the big mills at the present time are better than they have ever been before and they expect to
take on many more men in the near ! f ture. Several orders have been received of late, and many estimates have been received, all indications of which point to the revival of former activities at the plant. The employes at the mill are now working full time with a double shift. AVorR on Sfw Mill Started. Work has already started on the new wire mill,- which will be a new addition to the Wisconsin Steel company. The big building will be 480x80 feet and will ,be one of the largest structures belonging to the company. About twenty-five men are already at work on the excavation of the foundations. The new building will be situated at One Hundred and Sixth street and Torrence avenue on the company's properties. Other smaller buildings have been torn down and removed to make way for the new structuree. Experiment - la Foundation. For the purpose of experimenting, the Wisconsin Steel company will try a new feature in the way of constructing their foundations for the new wire mill. After the trenches have been excavated the company will carry all their molten refuse from their furnaces, which is a composition of slag and Iron, and pour them into the trenches.
When this become hard it is said it will make an ideal foundation, and will
be from that from which the walls of the new building will be constructed. This alone will save the company
quite an item on the construction and
if it proves a success it no doubt will
be universally adopted by many other
mills in constructing foundations. On
the contrary, if the new composition
is not a success, concrete will be used,
Officials at the mills today felt sure that the new foundation material would
be a success. Rash Completion.
The construction of the new building will be rushed until completed. After the foundations are in, a large
force of men will be employed, and it is thought by the expiration of six months will see the new wire mills
In operation. With the present prosperous condi
tion at the Wisconsin Steel company's
plant, only point to the fact that all
the mills are steadily resuming their
former activities in the Calumet region
The Times office has, during the past
few months, kept in close touch with the mills and manufacturers in this
region, and all indications point to i renewal of activities. Good New" for Readers. Of course, conditions at several o
the big mills remain about the same,
but there has been some inquiry as to
the placing' of orders, etc.

toga on the first ballot by a total of S2' votes out of 1,009, New York has definitely been taken out of the list! of doubtful states. By the same token, it seems hard to figure out how Mr. Bryan can hope for an election to the presidency when he knows ' that the thirty-nine electoral votes of New York are registered in advance against him. Hughes has been nominated for a second time as governor of New York not because the bosses were for him.
not. because he had a personal machine behind him, but simply and solely because he represented a certain popular idea, the effect of which is certain to be demonstrated at the election in November. Every practical political admits that if Governor Hughes had been denied a renomination the result would have been to create so much disgust among the plain voters of the state as to give the democrats a fair chance of carrying it. Now that he has been put in the field again,' his personal popularity ought to be enough to insure the carrying of the state by the republicans, domination Victory of People. The fact that Hughes was nominated by a state convention, two-thirds of the members of which were personally opposed to him, only strengthens the
position of the republicans in New York, because it shows a yielding of
the machine to the insistent demands
of the people themselves.
All of the organization was against
Hughes, but he had behind him the people themselves, and the people for once at least have won.
Back of the triumph of Hughes at
Saratoga there must necessarily be
discerned the extraordinary political sagacity of Theodore Roosevelt. At

Eeports Plans for Paving of Broadway Are Progressing Attorney H. V. Call Approves of Toleston Gun
Club Deed and Advocates a New . Franchise. In order that the saloonkeepers of Gary would not be compelled to pay for a city license for a whole year, when they have but a few months more to run on their county license, City Attorney Bomberger has been requested by the town board to draw up a special ordinance which provides for the issuance of a city license for an indefinite length of time. 4 The question which has been before the saloonkeepers for some time is that of whether or not on Oct. 1, when their city license becomes due they will have to get a new one for an entire year. This would mean that it would be
itiseless for the most part because they
would not beable to run the saloon
after their county license expired. At the most the saloonkeepers would not have more ' than six months longer to run, so that at least $50 of the $100
belongs to the applicant.
'Little Feter Galeott, the boy bandit of Gary, who was a few days ago arrested for the robbery of a house in which he secured $6 in money, two revolvers and a shot-gun, was again brought into .custody by the police charged with robbing 'a man of two watches. One of the watches was
found in the boy's possession and the other he claimed to have been given to his brother. . When questioned young Galcott made a full confession, but said that the man who lost the watches dropped them in the sand and that he picked them up without returning the mto him. -r - When found, Peter was on his way
toward Toleston, and it is thought that he was attempting to make a get-away. He claims, however, that he
was only searching for a stray horse for which the owner offered a quarter for its return. He said that he was
trying to earn this quarter when he was caught.
Promised Better Behavior. The last time that the boy was
caught and made a confession of his guilt, he -mis released upon promise to
be good and never steal anything
again. His parents also promised to
look after him and see that he did not get into any more mischief. To the
contrary, however, not a week after he
was released, he stole the watches.
The police believe that the young fel
low is an incorrlgable, and that the
best thing for him is to send him for a term to Jeffersonville. Much of his
waywardness is said to be' due to the
lack of parental care, as he is allow

father some time ago.

KIDNAPPED GIRL FOUND
Little Laura Williams of
South Chicago Latest to Disappear After School. Still another schoolgirl has disap
peared and another supposed kidnap
ing mystery has been placed in the hands of the police. Laura Williams,
13 years old, a pupil at the Taylor
public school, is the latest victim of abduction, it is believed, she having
disappeared late yesterday afternoon
Her parents in reporting the girl's
absence to the South Chicago police
said they believed she had ben kidnaped by a man and woman who had been seen early in the afternoon in the vicinity of their residence, 9752 Avenue M. Police Start Search. The police started an immediate search and in the hope of getting
trace of the kidnaper by keeping up a hot pursuit, sent out messages to all Chicago stations to watch for the girl. It is believed by the police that the girl may have been taken to Terre Haute, Ind., by an aunt, a Mrs. Noon, and inquiries will be made in the Indiana city. Mrs. Williams, informed the detectives that she had not seen her sister for seven years having had trouble with her at that time. Girl Was On "War Home. The girl was last seen by her schoolmates walking home from the school, which is at Ninety-ninth street and Avenue J. When she failed to return at the usual time her mother believed she had been detained at school for some cause, but later when informed by the daughter of a neighbor that Laura had left school at the closing house she became alarmed. LATER A mrssajce came this noon to the East Side station that the girl had been found at Pine Station and an
officer was sent there.
Darrow Before Board. Mayor Lemuel Darrow of the Gary
& Interurban. again appeared before
the town board and reported that the
plans for the pavement of the right
of-way of the Jine on Broadway was
progressing rapidly. He states that
the work would probably be completed
before cold weather sets in. He stated
however, that because of the absence of the board of directors of the line
that they were unable to get together
and decide as to the feasibility of the plan of having the city do the work and take out a lien on the road. He
stated that he believed, however, that
there would most likely be no objec tion. Call Approves of Deed.
Attorney H. V. Call appeared before
the board and stated that in the mat
ter of securing the deed to the strip
of land by the Tolleston Gun club that the wording was satisfactory and that they would be able to proceed with the work of filling in the Broadway at
once. Upon motion the matter of an
nexation of the four sections of land
was withdrawn from the county coun,
cil as this step has now become un
necessary. Advise a Franchise..
Mr. Call also stated that the C. L. S. & E. were laying their tracks across
the Clarke road for their yards, but that they were in no way interfering with traffic. He stated that for this
reason they were not violating the in
junction which had been served them
which prevents them from blocking
the road. Mr. Call stated that he be
lieved that the city could settle the difficulty for the road by giving them a franchise to cross it with any number
of tracks.
Improbable Clerical Innovations.
The Massachusetts bishop who has
ordered collections in a Worcester
church to he taken by the cash register system evidently is not afraid that
this business-like innovation will lead
to others, such as trading stamps, bar
gain days and "satisfaction guaran teed or money refunded."
Indianapolis, September IS. Repub-. licana are confident they will have a full representation of their membership in the general assembly at the caucus tomorrow night when the fate of the proposed county local option bill will probably be determined. The fate of the measure may not be determined at this meeting but It will become known then whether or not it is to have easy or rough sledding. If the republicans succeed in getting all their members together and if the
legislators agree to accept the bill as
a party measure, county option will be
practically a reality. On th other
hand, if majority legislators stay away in considerable numbers or if persons present protest against caucus action
and refuse to be bound by It it will be
evident that the efforts of the party managers to whip recalcitrants into
line have failed.
Bring; Pressure to Beaar. The last screws were being tightened today and final pressure was being brought to bear upon those who had
not definitely and firmly pledged them
selves to the program outline by Governor Hanly . and the republican leaers. It was admitted around the state headquarters today that two or three representatives were holding off and
declining to bind themselves. It was upon these that the pressure was being to be brought with greatest V"ce. The republicans have practically abandoned hope of winning any democratic votes for their measure. They had thought that there would be more democratic recruits than republican deserters but the developments of the last day or two revealed the fact that the democratic bosses had their legislators well in hand and that not more than two democratic votes could, bfc hoped for. Even these were regarded as doubtful. This 'situation convinced the republican party managers that they would have to control their own men if success is to croyh their efforts.
"Work to Line Them Up. The democrats are working just as hard as the republicans to line up their assembls'men and they, too, are hoping for assistance from the opposition. The democrats can not hope to bring about adjournment or to defeat the bill by their own votes as they - have -forty-seven members of the House while the constitutional majority requires fiftyone votes. But the democrats hope to
win four or five republican recruits. If the democratic hope is realized the minority party will be in control and will -be able to elect an anti-Hanly republican as speaker and thwart action on the, bill. They will even be able to adjourn the House for three days and then readjourn and keep on readjourning every three days until the Senate joins with it in adjournment 'sine die.
It is not thought, however, that such a course will be adopted even though the democrats with the aid of republican insurgents rule. It is argued that republican insurgents willing to vote for adjournment woilld also be willing to
vote against the county local option bill and that the latter would be preferable to the democrats. Election Held Tomorrow. Elections will be held in six districts tomorrow to fill vacancies in the general assembly caused by deaths and resignations.Orators of both parties have been tramping the districts up and, down but It is generally conceded that the political divisions will be the same' as they were two years ago. It Is practically conceded that Clinton and Carroll counties will return a republicna senator to succeed John C. Farber,
deceased, and that Jasper, Newton, Stake and White will elect a republican
to succeed Dr. Richard C. McCain, who resigned from the Senate to become
postmaster of Kentland. It is also conceded that, a democratic successor to John Eenz, deceased, will come from Dubois, Crawford and Perry counties.
The democrats of LaPorte and also of Posey counties are expected to elect successors to John Faulkner and Frank Wade, respectively, both of whom held
democratic seats in the House and the republicans have no thought of losing Delaware county which ' is to elect a successor to Oliver Carmlchae'l,' -who resigned. The fight in Delaware "coun
ty is bitter but the contest is between
brewers who wish to show a republican loss, and republican, who wish to make an object lesson that may be followed
by the entire state next November,
Both parties expect the districts to hold special elections to divide politically
as they divided two years ago. Mnrnhnll AVIll Sign Bill.
Thomas' R. ' Marshall, " candidate for
governor, also tried to set himself straight yesterday by declaring that he
would sign any bill passed by the leg
lsature provided the bill was consti-
tional and provided further that it did

INITIATE A GARY GLASS
Last night the Rebekah lodge of Gary met in the Odd Fellow hail for the purpose of giving the third degree to a class of ten applicants. The work was done by the degree team of Whiting, which made such a decided hit with the local order at the time that this lodge was installed. There were in all twenty-eight members from Whiting who came to Gary last night to see the work and enjoy the evening. The Whiting contingent arrived over the Pennsylvania and returned over the same road on the train .which goes through at 11:26. This train does not ordinarily stop at Gary, but because of their numbers the order was given for them to pick them up. After the
work of giving the new members the third degree was finished, a light luncheon was Indulged in. The evening was one of the most pleasant in
the history of the lodge, and the mem

AH ATTEMPTED ASSAULT
Nicholas Slick Does Prove
to Be So Much as His Name Signifies.
Nicholas Slick, a young fellow, 21 years old, was arrested this morning in
the Wisconsin Steel mills on the charge
or attempted assault on imma otto, a
17-year-old girl.
Under the guise of friendship Slick
accompanied the girl home from the
I,abor day picnicwhich was held at the Lake Side grove. When the two reach
ed a deserted neighborhood on the East
Side, Slick is said to have attempted an
assault upon the girl, and only because
she screamed and resisted him did she escape. People in the neighborhood
hearing her cries came to the place but found that the young fellow had fled.
It was learned that he had gone to
Indiana Harbor, returning yesterday to resume work at the Wisconsin mills. He was placed on trial in Judge La.n-

Certainly the coachman to her late majesty, Queen Victoria, had a befitting sense of the dignity and responsibility of his position. On the occasion of the jubilee of 1887 he was asked if he was driving any of the royal and Imperial guests at that time quartered in Buckingham palace. "No, sir," was his reply.
