South Chicago Pedestrians Near Nintieth Street and Commercial Avenue Are Horror Stricken at Sight of Child Under Hoofs.

BUGGY WHEELS PASS OVER PROSTRATE FORM Salver in Accident is Held Blameless Since Lass Jumped From Side walk Directly in Front of Horse Victim Is in a Serious Condition and Hot Expected to Live. Pedestrians on the streets at Commercial avenue and Nintieth strtet yesterday afternoon gazed In horror when they saw a horse and uggy run over the girlish form of Lucile Flakier, 8 years old, 8939 Houston avenue, who was returning home from the Phil Sheridan school. The little Flagner girl had just skipped from the r.ldewalk to cross the street at Nintieth street and Commercial avenue, when a horse and buggy, driven by Weschler & Son, cigar manufacturers at 9220 Commercial avenue, turned around tne corner. Attempted to Stop. Mr. "Weschler saw the girl in front of the big horse and made an effort to stop the animal, but it was too late. The feet of the horse trampled the little girl and the wheels of the buggy passed over the body of the child. Many people ran out into the street and assisted the groaning little form to her feet. Miss LiOttie Humboldt, 8850 Houston avenue, took the little girl in her arms and carried her to the home of her pParents, Mr, and Mrs. FJagner, who were overcome for a time at seeing their little daughter's condition. Medical aid was summoned and it was found that the girl had a rupture of the liver and was otherwise Internally injured. Condition Is Serious. Her condition all last night was very serious, but reports at noon today saw she will recover. Mr. Weschler, -who was driving the horse, is held blameless for the accident, as many people In the street will be willing to testify. The little girl evidently became frightened, and stopped before the approaching horse, evidently not knowing which way to trun. THE RECORD OF March 26 Nominated by the Taggart machine and the brewery alliance after the latter took Sam Ralston out of the race. Marshall's forces on the convention floor managed by Steve Fleming, Fort Wayne brewery boss. June 2 Marshall made his first "keynote" speech at Richmond. Declared then that township and ward local option Is better than the county unit and that the later is a "delusion and a snare." He went into the legal phase of the situation to show that county local option Is not best. June" and July Marshall advocated township and ward unit so vigorously that every brewer, saloonkeeper and liquor dealer in Indiana lined up solidly for him and against the county unit. August During the first two weeks of this month it was rumored that Marshall was about to declare in his second "keynote" at Salem that he would sign a county local option law. It was noticeable, however, that the brewery alliance did not change its tactics. Its representatives predicted that Marshall would stand for the ownship and ward unit. August 17 Marshall made good the predictions of the brewers that he would not state that he would sign a county local option bill. On this date he stated in an interview in the Indianapolis Sun, one of the brewery organs, that those who favored prohibition of the liquor traffic should not vote for him. He declared that he did not favor the county unit, and if he did he would withdraw from the democratic ticket. August 22 Marshall delivered his revised "keynote" at Salem, in which he reaffirmed his Richmond "keynote." He declared again for the kind of local option advocated by the brewers. Sept. 8 Marshall, in a speech at Clinton, finally took notice of the public challenge of .Tames E. Watson, republican nominee for governor, that he declare openly" whether he would sign a county local option bill, saying he would not sign any bill until he saw it. Sept. 9 Marshall attended a conference at which the policy of the democratic lawmakers in the special session was "fixed" by Taggart, John E. Lamb, Stokes Jackson and other members of the brewery democratic machine. On leaving the conference Marshall gave the, Indianapolis Xews fin interview In which he said that he

Andrew Babo Lies in South Chicago Hospital on the Brink of Death His Persecutors Still Free. (Special to The Times). Indiana Harbor, Ind., Sept. 24. A prank of several American employes of the cement plant at Bufnngton, is likely to prove fatal to Andrew Babo, a laborer employed at the cement plant, who is now lying dangerously ill at the hospital in South Chicago. Babo is a foreigner, about 30 years of age, and has not been in this country long. Unused to the appliances of the modern mechanical plant, he naturally pays little attention to the noise and bustle of the cement plant and scarcely snowed any anger when one of his fellowworkmen stole up behind him and turned a current of compressed air upon his back. A Criminal Deed. Seeing that Babo was inclined to take their Joke good nateuredly they carried It still farther and forced the

air, at eighty pounds pressure Into the man's intestines. The intestinal lin- ' ing was torn in places and the stom- j ach and body filled with the gas and air. The shock was too much for , Babo and Dr. J. A. Teegarden was ' called, who, after a minor examlna- I tion, declared that the man should be taken to the steel company's hospital , at South Chicago. He is now resting somewhat easier, although his condi, tlon is still critical. Before leaving for the hospital. Babo requested the officials of the ce ment plant not to "do anything with the boys." "They were just fooling with me," he said, "and didn't mean to hurt me." ' I It is likely, however, that if Babo's ! injuries prove fatal prosecutions will ' follow. While performed by unheeding youths, these things should not be overlooked as by their being placed in the ranks of unimportant happenings,-1 others are encouraged to entertain the same delinquent ideas. LABOR TROUBLE SETTLED Working Is progressing very rapidly at the present time on the new St. Brides church at Seventy-ninth street and Coles avenue. The labor trouble, which occurred some time ago among the contractors has been settled, and the construction work is now being rushed. The work of putting on the roof of the building is now in prgress and the new edifice will soon be under cover. The members of the church are planning to give a church bazaar from Oct. 19th to Oct. 29th, the proceeds of which will go into the building fund of the church. T.R.MARSHALL wants every member of the legislature to stand against county local option. Sept. 9 In an address at Terre Haute (the home of Crawford Fairbanks) Marshall criticised the ministers of Indiana for trying to bring about the enactment of a county local option law. He accused them of "beating a bass drum" for the republicans. At Washington, Bedford and other places Marshall repeated his charges against the ministers. Sept. 13 At Petersburg Marshall declared that he would sign any kind of a bill that was constitutional. Sept. 15 At Oakland City and Princeton he weakened on his own platform and declared that the Moore remonstrance law is much beter than county, ward or township local option. Sept. 16 At Boonville Marshall indicated that he isn't sure that a county local option law would be constitutional. Sept. 20 Marshall conferred with the democratic bosses and some democratic members of the legislature. Although the township option Is notoriously the desire of the entire liquor alliance, Marshall again expressed the hope publicly that all the democratic legislators will stand on the party platform. t In several speeches last week Marshall attempted to apologize to the ministers of Indiana, but each time he repeated his charge against them. Although an effort has been made by newspapers that are supporting Marshall and the brewers to delude the temperance democrats into believing that he will stand for county local option if he has a chance. Marshall has refused to pledge himself to any measure looking to restriction and regulation of the liquor traffic. Marshall ia pleading for the votes of republicans, yet in every speech he has attacked President Roosevelt and his policies. It is a fact that in no speech of the campaign has Marshall offended or alarmed the IJeber-Fairbanks-Fleming brewery alliance which, through the Taggart machine, is in control of the democratic organization and is spending thousands of dollars to defeat the republican ticket.

OX HASKEM. Gov. Haskell's utter unfitness for any public position of trust or for association with any man. anxious to make an appeal to the American people has been abundantly shown.

As. an Amrrlran rltlien who prle his Americanism and citizenship for above any question of partisanship, I regard it as a scandal and disgrace thnt Gov. Haskell should beconnected with the management of a national campaign. I have shown you fairly and honorably that Gov. Haskell is a man who on every account I have named is unworthy of any position In our public life. TO BRYAX. In my Judgment the measures you advocate would be wholly Ineffective in curias; an evil, and so far as they had any effect at all would merely throw the entire business of the country Into hopeless and utter confusion. I put Mr. Taft's deeds against your words. I ask that Mr. Taft be judged by ail bis deeds for he wishes none of them forgotten. I ask that you be judged both by the words you wish remembered and by the words' that seemingly you and your party now desire to have forgotten. I hold It entirely natural for any great law defying corporation to wish to see you placed In the presidency rather than Mr. Taft. Vonr plans to put a atop to the abuses of these corporations are wholly chimerical. , OX TAFT. I hope and believe that all far sighted citlsens who wish to see this country prosperous in material things will support Mr. Taft, bnt above all I ask for support for him because he stands for the moral uplift of the nation, because his deeds have made good his words, and because the policies to which he is committed are of Immeasureable consequence alike to the honor and Interest of the whole t American people. - CONFERENCENEXT WEEK Methodist Rock River District Gathers in Woodlawn.

"What were we to do?" asked the j foreman, Walter B. Brooks, 1281 North I Western avenue, after the panel had (been discharged by the court. "Here we found Navigato the defendant in jthe case, while the police themselves admittedly were present at the stag. If the show was obscene and the evidence tends to show it was why did not the police interfere?" This was the proposition which for five hours divided the twelve men. The jury retired to consider a verdict shortly before noon, and at. 4 o'clock in the afternoon they were summond Into court by Judge Newcomer. Jury is Divided. "Will you gentlemen ever reach a verdict?" he asked, addressing the foreman. "I think not, your honor; we are hopelessly divided." replied Mr. Brooks.

Neither Lieutenant Mooney nor Assistant Prosecuting - Attorney Henry Seligman were In court when the jury was 'discharged. . Assistant City Prosecutor Lee, however, stipulated to allow the proceedings to go over until Sept. 30. At - that time. Lieutenant Mooney announced last night. Navigator will again be placed on trial. "I am sorry we did not obtain a conviction in this case," said the lieutenant, "and I hops we shall be more successful at the next hearing. I am trying to prosecute these cases faithfully." However that may be, it was inti mated about Judge Newcomer's court yesterday that certain police officials are not over-anxious to convict Navi gato. The trial of the case just closed is declared by some to have been poor ly handled. The selection of the Jury and the failure to bring out certain evidence are two points criticised by lawyers who have followed the proceedings.

Republican Candidate For Representative Has a Delightful Trip Because of Break Down on New South Bend Interurban.

FAILED TO HAKE TRAIN GOiEGTIOIl Republican and Democrat Are Companions In Misery and Experienco Ends Up With An Edward Paysoa Weston Stunt Back to the Steel City. Among the victims of the breakdown yesterday on the Chicago, Lake Shore & South Bend line were William H. Kliver, candidate for Joint representative, and Robert Emmet O'Conner, expresldent of the democratic club of Gary. Both left Gary on the first train out of the city so that one of them could make a train and the other keep an appointment. When a half mile out of the city the cars stop ped and the troubles of the two politi cians began. MlHaed Ilia Connections. Mr. Kliver was very anxious to make train connections so that he could get to Brook, Ind., where he could hear the standard-bearer of the republican 'party, William H. Taft, speak to the farmers. The candidate wouldn't have missed the event for anything in tho world, but he was stalled and that waa all there was to it. Kliver jumped onto the conductor with the able assistance of Mr. O'Conner, and called the road everything in his vocabulary, which failing to accomplish their purpose, the two got off the car and started to walk to their destinations. They left orders with the conductor that if the car overtook them to pick them up. After they had .walked as far as the viaduct across the Pennsylvania tracks the car received enough power to catch up t them and they were taken aboard. Have to Give It Up. As soon as they were seated, however, the car was again unable to move owing to the sharp incline before them which they had to run up, and after waiting for several minutes they again got off and walked. In about fifteen minutes the car again came along and stopped for the second time to pick them up. Again the car .refused to move after they were, seated, and another volume of pent-up indignation was exploded on the conductor and officials of the road In general. For the third time, however, Mr. O'Conner summoned up enough courage to attempt to walk to his destination on the Clark road, and he arrived there just two hours and a half after he left Gary. Gels Back at Noon. In the meantime Mr. Kliver had also tried the Edward Payson Weston means of transportation, and after many mlniUes of arduous effort arrived at the bridge crossing the Calumet river, but a short distance from Harbor Junction. At this place he and a number of companions were picked up by the car and carried through to tha next station. Here Mr. Kliver got oft and took the next car right back to Gary. He arrived there about noon, all out of breath and in terrible mental anguish. Mr. Kliver has sworn vengeance against the South Bend line, and declares the steam road is goo 4 enough for him.
