(Special to Thb Times.) Indiana Harbor, Ind., Oct. 2. The
activities of Congressman Crampacker towards the advancement of Indiana
Harbor and East Chicago postal serv
ices ts soon to bear fruit, according to
statements made by Postmaster A. G, I.undquist.
"I believe," Bald Mr. Lundquist,
"that Indiana Harhor will be given
free delivery within the next few months. Postal Inspector J. M. Hen
ney, of Toledo, has Just completed a two days inspection of the local office records and from his attitude I am sure that he will report favorably on
the projected delivery system." Report May Soon Be Made
The report will be made within a few days to the first assistant postmaster
general, C. P. Grandfield, of Washing ton. Under the federal postal regula tions only cities with a postal busi
ness amounting to more than $10,000
per year is entitled to free delivery Indiana Harbor's office last year ex
ceeded the stated arount by over $500,Nthus entitling U o federal recog
nition. East Chicago and Whiting also desire the delivery recommendation, but
.as their business amounts to only $8,-
-and $S,V.j0, respectively. Inspector
Henney refused to consider their offices
In his report to Washington. Gets Twenty-Foar Malls Per Diem
Indiana Harbor receives twenty-four mails each day, all of which arrive over the Pennsylvania and C, I. & S. railways. This could be increased to
almost fifty mails a day, incoming and
outward, were the Iake Shore and Bal
timore and Ohio railroad allowed the
privilege of carrying Indiana Harbor
mails. The responsibility of the Har
bor office is thus easily recognizable nnd that the conferring of the Improved service on the city is merited cannot
be doubted.
An effort will be made to induce
Congressman Crampacker at the next session of congress, in which he will
undoubtedly be a
recommend the including
cago mail In the free delivery regula
tions. A sub-station could be placed In this city, if necessary, or the mails carried by the carriers on the local
lnterurban lines . Indiana Harbor has a population of about 8,000, while
East Chicago reckons among her in
habitants some 9,000 citizens. The two cities are really one 'municipality and
there Is little doubt that East Chica
groans would not object to the placing of the main station in the Harbor city.
Should Receive Attention,
The idea is a good one and should
receive the attention of both Harborites
and East Chicagoans. A good mail
service is one or ine necessities of a progressive city and has been sadly lacking in this city for the last two or three years. .Its advent will re
flect vast credit on Mr. Crumpacker,
who has laboned persistently for the
installation of better service In pos
tal conditions throughout the Calumet district. He has shown himself true
to his electors and In indorsement of his past actions should receive their combined vote for re-election to con-
press at the November poll.

(Special to The Times.) East Chicago, Ind., Oct. 2. Unless
the Chicago Telephone company is less
negligent in the lr treatment of their patrons it is quite possible that actions for damages will be filed against
them by prominent East Chicago and
Indiana Harbor business men. Suits
have already been threatened and attorneys consulted who declare that the
treatment of the business men by the
corporation is injurious to their business and that -such a claim would stand valid In any court of the state.
Won't Install 'Phones.
TThe particular charge laid by the
business men against the company Is their refusal to Immediately install telephones. Two local physicians have
had orders on the company's files for
over a month requesting the Installa
tion of telephone service. Being reputa
ble practitioners they lose business by
their failure to have the Instrument in
Burton Green, representative from Miami county, says he Is stiii a democrat. "This Irishman is not going to be read out of his party very soon," he announced today. The reading out was essayed by the Tom Marshall club of Peru, his home, a few days ago because of his vote for county local option. He was called a Benedict Arnold and other unpleasant things.
"I am the first democratic representative to be elected from Miami county for several years. They had better save their timber. My majority was 546, while the state ticket went 27 republican. But our party stands better now than it did two years ago, and I expect to more than double my vote Qf two years ago. The county people stood for county local option,, as did many city people. But I don't care. I
will not stifle my conscience If I never
get elected. They may fight me now.
Some of them have fought me before and they know the result. "He who fights and runs away, lives to .Ight
another day." Right of People to Govern. "As for the county local option law,
it will not put a single saloon out of business in Miami county or dry an inch of territory. It Is the referendum. It is the handing of the whole question over to the people. Who dares deny
the right of the people to govern them selves?"

their office. They are unable to an- Fugitive Headed For Gaiy
calls expediently and It is lm
swer
possible to make appointments with- j out visiting their patients. The two physicians who are particularly affected by this "rotten treatment," as they believe it, are Drs. Bicknell of the postoce building and Dr. Jacob, a prom
inent dentist in the First National
Bank building.
Charge Against Operators. Another bone of contention between
the company and East Chicagoans is the installation of the modern "call
system." Each Chicago is still subjected to the old "turn the crank and wait
half an hour" method. Operators are
negligent of their duty, it is charged,
and only a few days ago a local attor
ney was compelled to wait over an
hour for a call to Crown Point. The local operators declared that the Ham
mond office was at fault, but it was proven that the East Chicago switch
board had been neglected, the plugs remained In connection and the East
Chicago operators consequently failed
to hear the repeated calls for over twenty minutes of the Hammond operator.
These are matters of vital import
ance to the business men of the com
munity who promise that unless the
company Is more courteous in their
treatment they will order the with
drawal of the local company's 'phones and advocate the Installation of Instruments under a separate franchise.
on Steamship Douglas Due Today.
The police received word this morn
ing that the steamship Douglass, due
in Gary -today from the Superior re
glon, carried as one of its crew, Ar
thur Richards, who is badly wanted in
Ashtabula, Ohio, for non-support. The
information was received over the tele
phone from the Ohio city, where the chief of police stated that the man
was badly wanted. The local police were informed that he had been In
dicted by the grand Jury of that place,
Richards has been sought by the police all over the entire country. They traced him from his home in Ohio to
Cleveland, and from there to the Su
perior region, where they learned that
he had shipped on the boat Douglass,
They were also Informed that this ore boat was bound for Gary and was due
here yesterday. Two officers were dis
patched to watch for the boat when
it arrived, but after remaining on the dock for some time they gave up the task. The boat is expected to arrive
today, however, as it is probable tha
It was delayed by the recent storms.

caught in another crime.
It was reported to the station yes

Train Is Delayed For Some Time and
Passengers Are Surprised at Incident.
A

bad
wreck and a terrible loss of
vvas averted in some miraculous 1
manner when the through passenger
train from Cleveland to Chicago passed
through Gary at about 6:30 this morning and the tender on the engine
jumped the track vrhlle the train uiia
going at the rate of ftSO miles an hour.
The ensineer put on the emergency
brakes, and although the tender bound
ed over the ties for a distance of a hundred yards, none of the coaches or the engine left the tracks.
The accident hapened about half to
three-quarters of a mile west of Gary and was caused when a wheel on the
tender of the engine struck the point of a switch and the tender jumped off the tracks.
Passengers Shaken Up. Why the coaches which followed the
tender did not also leave the track is a mystery that will never be explained. The passengers were badly shaken up
by the quick stopping of the train, but
otherwise none of them were injured. 1
After the train had been stopped the
engine backed it to a point near Gary, where the tender was run up onto another switch and was in this man
ner placed back on the track. The train was delayed only three-quarters
of an hour and proceeded to its desti
nation in Chicago.
The passengers were surprised to
learn that they had been so near death, and the trainmen and engine crew are still wondering how the tender could
have bounded over the ties for so great a distance and still not jump the track and throw the passenger train off.
There were a large number of 'pas
sengers In the train and many of them
were either asleep in the berths or were getting up so that they could leave the
train as soon as it arrived in Chi-
cago.

ALL READY FOR PARADE
A cousin of v the democratic vice presidential candidate, John Worth Kern, spoke to the democratic club of Gary last night in the headquarters on Washington street, near Tenth avenue The main attraction of the evening was Clem W. Kern of Valparaiso, one of the best-known democrats In northern Indiana. Although the crowd das not large they listened attentively while Mr. Kern expounded the cause of democracy. ' Regular Meeting of Clnb. The occasion was the regular meeting of the democratic club, presided over by President C. O. Sefton. There were forty members to hear Mr. Kern. The meeting was held in a vacant store
room, fitted 1jp as a hall, which will be used by the democrats during the com
ing campaign.
During his talk Mr. Kern touched on the subjects of tariff, banking, labor, liquor, trusts and several- other points
at issue. He was particularly energetic In denouncing the present banking
system which he says enables the rich
men to rob the poor. He cited the re

her singing was the best that she has
done since her arrival in Gary.
Miss Mary Kleinschmidt Is well
known in Gary, where she is one of the
pioneers of the city. She has been
employed in the ticket office of the
theater ever since the place was built, and is the first person to hold a similar position in the city. In the ticket office last night the stall was bedecked with roses, in which Miss Kleinschmidt dis
pensed tickets for the last time. Miss
Kleinschmidt will accept a position in her father's news stand, which he Is opening up on Broadway.

Every young man in East Chicago Is invited to attend the meeting and assist in the preparations for the mammoth Wat-son-Garfleld parade in Hammond tomorrow evening. The meeting will be held in the club headquarters on Olcott avenlue, near Chicago, and an attendance of at least 100 is expected. Attorney Joseph A. Meade will preside and arrangements for the distribution of badges and torches outlined by the advisory committee. The Hammond republican central committee has promised the East Chi
cago organization assistance in carrying out their plans for a goodly representation of this city at the Hammond rally. Two cars will be supplied to leave East Chicago at 6:45 o'clock. These cars, Instead of pursuing the usual route, will go direct to the Hoffman street corner on Hohman street, where the 200 or 300 East Chicago and Indiana Harbor delegates will be met by a Hammond band of eighteen or twenty pieces. A march down Hohman street, en masse, as far as the superior court will complete the local organization's preliminary participation in the rally. They will also march in the big torchlight parade preceding the tent meeting.

On the tariff question he said that
both parties had promised tariff revision, but the republicans have had
chances enough to do it, and have
failed. Now he says the democrats should have the opportunity. Anyhow, he stated a persons would not know
whether they should revise It up or
down. On the labor question he stated that men throughout the country had been in the worst panic the country
has known in many years, and that

ine union men have been given to

This company is starting a little town

The Corn Products company Bells its

for the unions to reach them.

Is that the Western Union Is to at last

Work was started yesterday in rigging up the equipment and It is expected that they will be ready for business tomorrow. The merchants of the town have long suffered through the Inadequate service. Many times they have had to wait until a message is mailed to them before they could receive it. Now, however, there will be messenger service installed and an operator will be kept on the Job until 8 o'clock at night. The western Union office will be located across from the office In the lobby of the hotel.

Invade Indiana Harbor Place of Business But
Don't Get Much.
(Special to Thb Times.) Indiana Harbor, Ind., Oct. 2. Burglars last night invaded the office of
the Junk Brewing company on Watling street, in this city, secuhing only $1 in stamps, a revolver and several penholders. Admission was gained to the building through a rear door transom and the marauder, who is believed by the police to be a local man, failing in his efforts to secure any money, broke the cash drawer of the cashier's desk, turned the desks over, spilled the ink on the floor and created havoc generally. The office was found in its unsightly condition about 10 o'clock last evening by the company's watchman, and the attempted robbery must have taken place at a time when the street, was crowded with people. The would-be burglar evidently wanted to leave a message for he had commenced a letter and left It on a
desk

Orrine Destroys the Craving For Drink Cure Effected or Money Refunded.
Excessive or continued use of alcoholic beverages always results in a diseased condition of the nervous system. The drinking man is often heard to say, "I can stop of my own free will when I wish," but the poor fellow is now devoid of the power to act at the proper time and In the right way it's too late, the craving has secured a firm hold and because of the diseased nervous system he has not the ability for sustained effort. The result we all know. Drunkenness Is no longer considered a crime; eminent scientists and physicians have agreed that It is a disease and must be treated as such. The home treatment that has been used for a number of years, and is
highly successful, is Orrine. It is sold
under a positive guarantee that if it does not effect a cure your money will be refunded. Orrine Is in two forms.

Orrine costs but $1 per box. Mailed In plain sealed wrapper on receipt of price. Write lor free booklet on "Drunkenness." mailed in sealed envelope by The Orrine Company, Washington. D. C.
