Independence Candidate For
Supreme Court of Indiana Will Have to Show Why He is Not to Be Fined For
Contempt of Court.

LAWYERS
ARE
GREATLYJNTERESTED
Judge Reiter Asks For Transcripts His Request His Ignored and Then Townsley Refuses To Recognize
Writ of Mandamus Served On
Him.
iiff:ii
ALTERNATIVE IS TO GO AVrnuc
Judge IL A, Townsley of Gary, noml nee of the independence party f In
uiana ior me office of judge of the
supreme court, has been nerved with
a notice by Judge Itelter of the Lake
toiii-i ibbi ne must appear
before him on the twenty-ninth of thl
month and show cause why he should
not be fined for contempt of court.
The lawyers of Gary are greatly In
terested in the trouble in which the
local judge is involved, as the action
of Judge Reiter is the first of its kind
since the installation of the Lake su
perior court. The action against Judge
aownsiey was taken when the lattor
rerused, after a writ of mandamus had been served against him, to deliver to
me upper court transcripts In a cer tain case which was pending.
Cae Appealed to Hammond Court.
The case is one involving - s,.k
xia "
"w'u'"1-' "na company and was first
taKen before Judge Tovrnsipv
weeks ago. The case was then an-
peaiea to me superior . court at Ham
""u' ne" me case came up for trial there, the court asked for the transcripts in the case, and thev wer
noi turned over. After that a writ t
mandamus was served on him and he refused to recognize the writ.
It is said that the cause of .TurW
Townsley's action is that he was not
satisfied with the appeal bond, but as the latter was accepted, it cannot n.
sibly have any bearing on the refusal to turn over the papers. Judge Towns-
ey is one of the pioneers of this lo
cality, as well as one of the nit
justices. The outcome of th
whether or not the judge will be held in contempt of court, is awaited with interest In Gary, especially among the attorneys.

in from some other work he was doing and was sent down to Mrs. Groman's to investigate. When he got there he found that the negros had moved across the line and were lying down in some bushes over there. Hanlon went right across the line and was approaching the men when they opened fire on him. Hanlon did not retrace his steps. That is not the stuff of which policemen are made of. He pulled out his revolver and re
turned the fire, advancing on them all the while. The negros then ran. with
Hanlon after them. The route of the chase was towards the tracks of the Chicago, Cincinnati and Louisville railroad. Mrs. Groman could follow the men with her eyes by the smoke of their guns. Finally they disappeared in the woods and the next that the police heard of Hanlon he was at Globe Station all out of wind but still on the trail of the negros. As soon as he got his breath again he started out after them with the aid of a farmer's buggy expects to catch up with the party in the neigh
borhood of Dolton where it is believprl
! the negros are ging. Chief of Police I Rimbach is of the opinion that the men

T PUT UP TICKET
Democrats Decide That Re
publican Candidates Are Good Enough For Them
(Special to The Times.) Hobart. Ind., Sept. 25. Democrats of
the thirty-first Judicial district, will put
no candidate in the field either for the office of circuit Judge of for the office
f prosecuting attorney. In other words
Judge W". C. McMahon and Charles
Greenwald are good enough for them.
By introducing and accepting a reso-
ution to the effect that the call for
the convention held at Hobart todav
was doubtful as to its legality and that therefore the county central committee
hairman of Porter and Lake county be
ested with the power of nominating
candidates for offices. The democrats
complied with the 'Ted tape' and unless unforseen things happen In the
campaign, there will be no nominations made by the count' chairmen. J. R. Malone chairman of Porter county presided and after the adoption the resolution, the - convention ad Journed. Mayor Becker of Hammond then addressed the convention In a forty-minute talk. About seventy-five precinct committeemen from the two counties attended the convention.
vieorge an:on, who was sent
out to Ilomewood to rout out two sus
jm-iou3 negros , who were loitering
rounu me residence of Mrs. Ralph Groman on Warren street, and are believed to be Jail breakers, started in a man hunt which lasted from 10 o'clock in the morning until late In the after
noon and involved the police departments in Dolton, Kensington, West
Jiammond, fllverdale and Harvey. After Officer Hanlon got on the trail of the two negros In West Hammond anr thy discovered that he was after them, they opened fire' on his with their revolvers and he returned the fire with his gun. Mrs. Groman could see Hanlon. all alone, chasing the men over the prairie. There would be a puff of smoke from the officers' revolvers and then there would be one from the revolvers In the hands of the fleeing negros. The sound of the shooting could also be faintly heard. Police Learn of Fight. Mrs. Groman notified the nollce station that Hanlon was havlng'a running
I fight with the men and Chief of Police Rimbach started ou; to look the officer up for fear that he had been shot. Twenty minutes after Hanlon had started out on his chase through the
7uua' ,1P wa3 -ard from at Globe Station. Thero the farmers, hearing the shooting, came out to see what was the matter and being fresh, took up the chase of the escaping negros. Hanlon was forced out by ihis time and was compelled to take a rest The farmers, who were fresher, gained on the negros and they also had a- running fight m which the colored men finally escaped in a bit of heavy woods. The trouble Ve?an when Mrs. Groman saw the men lying in the bushes in the neighborhcod of her house. One of them catre to the door and asked her for. a drink of water. She told them to
house and get their

While they were doing that he t

MEETING POSTPONED. The members of the B. B. K. Club decided to postpone their meeting which was announced to take place last evening at the-Jiome of Mrs. C. G. Kingwell in Williams street. The party will probably be held next week when the
evening will be- spent with cards
Indianapolis, Sept. 25. The real fight
on tne option question will come to
morrowpresumably the " concluding day of the special session. The fight
yesterday was a good preliminary skirmish but it was not the real thing. Neither side expected it to be the final showdown. Five out of every six men who had followed events closely knew t. -. . i .
ni.ii me measure was not going to be killed. Some democrats had hopes and some republicans had fears that it would, but the leaders of each knew that the battle royal had been postponed. If the democrats had been able to force indefinite postponement when the minority report of the morals committee was up for adoption, it would have been all oft for option for the present at least. But the minority leaders were not ready to force the fighting. Some of the insurgent republicans had insisted upon giving the bill a chance for its life and had refused to kill on the first vote. Reserve. Right to Vote Against. The democrats knew that they would lose at least one vote by delay, but' they had hopes of winning more than this. Hottel, democratic member of the morals commitee, who Joined with Green, another democrat on the com
mittee, in signing the minority report for postponed, reserved the right to vote against the bil lif It should live to a third reading and announced after the test vote had been taken that he would vote for the bill when it came up for passage, and Green, his colleague, intimated that he might vote
tor the bill on passage, but the democrats knew that these two could not save the measure and they adopted delay In the hope that In losing the two democrats they might win several doubtful republicans, namely, Blllingsley, Bowlusand Keller of Indianoplls, and Meeker of Monticello. A recapitulation today showed that of the fifty-one votes that the republicans had lined up yesterday against postponement they were liable to lose Billingsley. Bowlus and Meeker and
due to win only Hottel and perhaps Green. Of the forty-nine votes lined up by the emocrats, the minority was likely to lose Hottel and liable to lose Green, while they stood to win Billingsley, Bowlus and Meeker. If this break should come each party would
have fifty votes and the measure would be tied up deadlock. John Bowlus, the recalitrant republican of Marion county, had a pet theory which he was exhibiting around the hotel corridors and hotel lobbies. He wished to amend the bill in such a way that counties containing on cities Ot ten thousand ' population should be governed by the county unit, while in counties with cities of innoii
or more the county unit should govern outside of the cities and the cities themselves constitute the unit for their own elections. In other words, all of Marlon rn,,nv
outside" of Indianapolis would vote with the county as the unit, while Indianapolis would hold an election of her own.
A package of humanity addressed to Joe Foss, postoffice box 589, Hammond, Ind., came in on the Pennsylvania railroad yesterday afternoon and through the efforts of the police was delivered to the proper persons in the Standard district last evening. If there had been a bill of lading with the package it would have read. "One bright little boy, seven years old.
name John Foss." The bov has hn
staying with his sister in Pittsburg and as she left for the old country the day the boy was shipped to Hammond to his parents who live here it is very fortunate that the. package reached its destination or the boy would have been lost and might never have seen his parents again. When Joe Foss of Hammond learned that his sister was going back to the old country ho wondered how he could get his boy to Hammond with out having to go after him. Joe has not been working for some and he did not have money enouerh tn cm t ri,
burg to get his son.
Misunderstanding AH Around. Joe corresponded with his sister but it seems that she had not explained how the boy was to be sent to Hammond. Consequently the parents here were not loking for the arrival of their son. When he arrived here there was no
one to meet him. He waited all day in the depot and finally the police were notified that there was a boy at the depot who was addressed to a certain Hammond man but who had not been called for. The police soon located the parents of the boy and took the youngster to his home. The boy recognized the father's voice before he got into the

ARREST FOLLOWS
Frank R. Steffins Aged 23, Nabbed While Getting Away With Pig Lead. Frank R. Stefllns, a young man 23 years old, was arrested In the vicinity of the Wabash tracks by Captain Peter Anstgen yesterday afternoon for stealing a bar of lead from a car. The theft of the pig lead was one of the boldest thing, which ha. been undertaken in thl. vicinity In. a long time. There were several tramps sitting along side of the of the railroad tracks when young Stefllns broke the seal of the car and entered it. They asked him what he was doing
ne inrormed them that he was going to steal a ride. Later they saw him throw out a bar of pig lead and then he and an old man carried It off. Two Honest Tramps. The tramps notified the station agent of the theft and he in turn notified i Captain Austgen. The captain made a
caugnt young Steffins with his loot. The young man was arrested and the tramps were taken to the police station as witnesses. Steffins gave his address as 8340 Reghland avenue, Chicago. The old man was found with him was Fred Gull, 63 years old, and he disclaimed any knowledge of the theft. He said the boy told him he had found the lead and that he was going to sell it to a Junk dealer for $2. The old man W : i c ravr. u i j . .

James A.

MEETING WAS A HIT
It was also bruited about the legislative halls this morning that the brewers had won enough votes to defeat the measure and that the enacting clause would be stricken out when the bill came up on second reading for amendments. In this connection there were rumors of much boodle.
The republican meeting at Highlands last evening was a great success. The school house where the meeting was held was packed to the doors and there were the greatest of enthusiasm mani-
lested by those who were present. Judge Virgil S. Reiter, Prosecuting Attorney D. E. Boone. Candidate for Joint representative, William H. Kliver and Sam Ableman, candidate for town-
snip trustee, were the speakers. It is believed that nearly everyf person in the vicinity of Highlands was present and the enthusiasm was great. Mr. Boone, Judge Reiter and Mr. Kliver all made 45 minute speeches and their remarks were roundly cheered.

caru in xiammona on this date. ;
The republicans of Hammond have great faith in influence that the women have In the election. Realizing that they are anything but a negligible quantity they have decided to reserve a whole section in the vast tented auditorium at the coming Watson meeting for women. There will be a large number of gentlemanly ushers placed in charge of the women's section at this meeting and while they will not have any flowers to hand out they may be relied upon, figuratively speaking, to hand boquets to every woma who comes. James Watson is one of the most interesting speakers who will take tha platform in Indiana this year. Ho never fails to entertain his listeners regardless of their political affiliations. Jle never fails to entertain his audiences roaring with laughter one minute and then seriously listening to him while he drives home and arguments
and clinches it with one of his famous
climaxes. Women Are Welcome. The members of the Young Men's
Republican club who have charge of the arrangements for the Watson meeting Oct. 3, want the women of the entire Calumet region to know that
they are to be welcome that there are ; to be seats reserved for them and their,' escorts and that they will be ent?r- i tained after they get there.
The meeting will not be one of dry:
political speechmaklng either. The
"Old Shady Quartette" which has be- i come famous through singing in many a campaign In this state and which is said to be one of the finest campaign. ; quartettes in the country will be on the program for several selections. There will be several selections by the band and the entertainment outside of the speechmaking will make the meeting an interesting one from, a woman's point of view. The wives of all of the county candidates will be present at the meeting and the republicans over the city may know that they can take their wives and that they will be properly looked after. Tenth Mill Seat 3.00O. The big tent which has already been erected on a vacant lot on Hohman street, across from the public library will seat three thousand people and every person who seeks admission will be sure of a seat. At seven-thirty in the evening the
parade will start from the place of formation on South Hohman street on its trip about the business section of the city. It is expected that ther,e will be several hundred republicans in line and red fire will be burned along the whole course of the parade. Torches will be carried by the marchers and, headed by James Watson and the band, the procession will move about the city until it will finally disband In front of the tent where the speaking will take place. An Invitation will be extended to all of the republican clubs in the county to participate In the parade and attend the meeting and in view of the fact that women as well as men are expected to attend the Watson meeting the Gary Women's Republican club will be given a special Invitation to; attend the great Watson meeting here !
