.Drake Fountain, Which Has Been Moved to South Chicago, Will, Be Dedicated Next Sunday by Knights of Columbus.
HAMMOND Hi GARY COUNCILS PARTICIPATE Automobile Parade With 200 Ma chines in Line To Be One . of the Big Features of the Day Italians Send in Protest to Mayor Busse of Chicago. The 416th anniversary of the discovery of America by Columbus will be celebrated by the dedication of the Co lumbus Memorial fountain In Calumet . square. South Chicago. Calumet council of the Knights of Columbus will aid the small Darks commission in making the affair one of the most nota ble kind in the history of Chicago. - The demonstration will be all the more remarkable In view of -the fact that when the small parks commis slon determined to move the "fountain from the city hall to South Chicago the representatives of more than a score of councils of the Knights of Columbus passed resolutions denouncing "the action and- demanding that It be re scinded. The members of the order residing in the southern part of the city were not pleased with this action of their lodge brothers, but held their peace at the time. The demonstration that is being prepared is intended to be a justlfica tion of the action of the officials con earned and an expression of regard for the- great Industrial south end of the city. Commissioner of Public Works Hanberg and Alderman Moynihan and Jones already have been formally thanked for their efforts in , Securing the removal of the fountain to South Chicago. "'" Caravels To Be on Display, The Columbus caravels, Nina, Pinta and Santa Maria, will be taken from the Jackson park lagoon to the Ninety second street bridge, across the Calumet 'river. They will be In festal array and the bridge also will be gayly decorated. They will be saluted by a large procession, which will pass over the bridge. Several councils of the Knights . of Columbus, among them Calumet, San Salvador, and those from Gary and Hammond will lead the parade. Many social and military organizations of South Chicago will take part, and it Is hoped to have several thousand men in line In honor of the sailor from Genoa. One of the features of the parade will be an automobile division. It is pro posed to have between 100 and 200 autos in line. Speeches will be made by members of the small parks com mission and city officials, among whom probably will be Mayor Busse and leading members of :the Knights of Columbus. Oct. 11 the Date Selected. '.It was at first planned to h?ve the dedication on Oct. 12, the exact anniversary of the discovery of .America, but it ha been decided recently that in an industrial community such ' as South Chicago the best results could be obtained by holding the demonstration on a Sunday, consequently Oct.-11 Was selected. The following committee on arrangements has been acting for Calumet council: A. F. Kestermeier, P. T. O'Sullivan, John J. Poulton, J. W. Cal'ahan, Thomas W. Flynn, Samuel B. Cooke. John E. Byrnes. John McCabe and Francis J. Houlihan. Other committees on finance, music," program, decorations and reception' also have been appointed. Italians to Protest. Three thousand members of the Italian-American Republican club and a score of other Italian societies marched at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon to the city hall to protest because the statue of Columbus was moved from the city hall to South Chicago. Speeches will be made to any city officials who are encountered, demanding that the statue be brought back to the heart of the city or to some pubHe park on the north or northwest side. . - - A meeting was held at Brand's hall after the procession Silvio PicchiantI, editor of La Patria, a trl-weekly -Italian newspaper, which had much to do with arranging the parade, spoke of the glories of Columbus. He was followed by. Enzo Staslo, assistant editor of the same paper, who was the first speaker to advocate the apopintment of a committee to see the mayor. Wants Statue Removed. "Columbus belongs not alone to Italy, be belongs to the whole world," said Mr. Stasio. "His statue should be removed from watering troughs and such surroundings and given a place in some city park. We do not criticise Mayor Busse for the action of the small parks commission in taking the statue to South Chicago; we only seek hia influence with the commission In getting It back.". . , .,.' , Bernardo Barrasl, a lawyer, said it

Up For Mr. Watson In Hammond. Special to The Times -' Kant Chicago, Ind.,' Oct. 5. Conaid era ble doubt regarding the political status of East Chicago ban been ex pressed heretofore but the doubters have been convinced that .this city . la till a good republican town and will not be influenced by the. attempts of a few democratic leaders and socialistic boaters to cry "rnlB" against the republican cry of "prosperity." The rep resentation of this city and Indiana Harbor at the Watson-Garfleld rally in Hammond on Saturday night was convincing. Three hundred loyal republicans took advantage of the two special cars furnished by the county central committee upon the request of tho local Young Men's Republican c?ub. President Joseph A. Meade is Justly proud of his efforts to introduce a good showing from the sister cities of Indiana Harbor and East Chicago, as are also President Dubbs of the Harbor club, and Indiana Harbor's chairman, Charles E. Fowler. Covered an Entire Block. The boys all wore white - ribbons bearing the Inscription "Young Men's Republican Club of East Chicago," and were easily seen in the monster street parnue, tuvcuug iiran, v block of the big procession. Torches and box-banners, seven In number, aaded to the enthusiastic appearance of the crowd and the boys left Hammond at 1 o'clock, feeling that they had been A feature of Watson's address that was gratifying to citizens of East Chicago was his excellent recommendation of this city's candidate for representative, Edward W. Wickey. Mr. Watson told of meeting Mr.- Wickey In Washington and Indianapolis on several ocasions, always interested In. the promulgation of the welfare of the Cal umet region. Mr. Wickey has always put forth his best efforts in the ad vancement of Indiana Harbor and East by the practically solid vote to be cast for him on November third. ii Gary Men Wantlo Put Some Life In Their Campaign.

A last final ef fort will be made to arouse them from their lethargy. A committee, composed . of Thomas Knotts, T. W. Englehart and Phil Cain, was appointed to see If they could not find some kind of a hypodermic which will put some life into the democrats and make the republicans sit up and take notice. The committee selected In this emer gency is composed of the best boosters there are in the party. They realise that the republicans have the upper hand now and they want to head oft complete annihilation. They find that most of the employes in the steel mills are red-hot republicans and it is almost Impossible to head off the sentiment for Taft and the state ticket It Is understood that the county democratic organization has heard the bad reports from Gary and will take strenuous steps to. offset the lead which the republicans already have.

DEMOCRATS
ALARMED
Baker Was Driving From Toleston
to Gary and Is Nearly ' Killed. Another marvelous escape from almost certain death was recorded Saturday on the Michigan Central, when Max Hirsch, the baker, in crossing the Michigan Central tracks ar 3:45 had his wagon struck by the fast Michigan Ccn. tral westbound train, resulting in the death of one of the horses and a slight injury to the driver. Mr. Hirsch was returning from Gary to Toleston In the afternoon, after making his day's delivery In Gary. He was driving at his usual gait when he crossed the tracks of the Michigan Cen tral at the Toleston road and extension f Eleventh avenue. . Because of the harp turn just before the railroad Is reached it Is almost Impossible to see an approaching train. All unconscious Of his danger, therefore, Mr.-. Hirsch drove upon the tracks, and, seeing the train upon him, made a frantic effort to back off. One Horse Is Killed. This was impossible, but he managed to get It far enough off the track so that tile engine did not hit him. One of the horses was instantly killed and the other was slightly' injured. The wagon was hurled to one side of the road and fell upon Mr. Hirsch, Who had also been thrown out of the wagon. Unfortunately the wagon turned -over on him or he would not have been injured at all.

The crossing Is known to be a very dangerous one and Is feared by all of the drivers of Toleston and Gary. It is surprising that there have not been more accidents at this crossing than there have been. The horse which was killed yesterday was valued at $200, and the wagon, which was not badly in Jured, can be repaired for a small amount. 1 The accident was witnessed by Motor man Robert Law of-the Toleston branch of the Gary and Interurban, whose car was on the siding at the time. He says it was one of the narrowest es capes he ever saw. . NEW LIGHT THROWN ON RIVER ACCIDENT Mother of O'Connell Broth ers Says They Were Leaving Their Work. MISSED TRAIN IN STORM Young Men Were Bridge Carpenters and Did Not Want to Leave Their Mother. It was generally believed that the I O'Connell brothers, Stephen and James, 604 East Eventy-second street, and Joseph Rowan, 658 Seventy-second street, Parkslde, were on a pleasure trip when the capsizing of the launch In the Cal umet river a week ago yesterday caused them to fill a watery grave. iNoming is iarther from the truth, so asserted the mother of the victims. The entire party was employed in the vicinity where the drowning occurred and by occupation were bridge carpenters, and on Saturday preceeding their death was doing similar work. Near the noon hour a storm arise which caused 'them to mles the train for South Chicago and as a last resort bearded the" launch, desirous of get ting home as early as possible, as their mother, who Is a widow lady, might be fearful of their late return. The deceased were laid to rest in Mt. Olivet and the floral contributions were rrany, among those contributing being. Swanson Bros., 7052 Stony Island avenue, Parkslde, and members of the bridge carpenter's union. Mrs. O'Connell, mother of the young men who were drowned, is still sueffrIng from the shock, and between nervous sobs yesterday irpressed herself as being thankful for the kind offerings and floral tributes and the sympathy extended the family in their bereave ment. The OConnells are from Toledo, O., and are well known in that city, and came to Chicago last April, where they have resided ever since. WESTERN UNION OPENS ITS OFFICE.

POLICE SCENT PLOT OF INTIMIDATION Two Hundred Ladies and Gentlemen on Horseback Head the .Biggest Parade That Lowell Has Ever Seen In All Its History Many En thusiastic Marchers. "To the Coroner:' "Please ship my trunk and suit case to Mr. and Mrs. George D. Lynn, Port, Marion, Pa. "(Signed) B. E. LTNN." The above note was . brought to the police station yesterday by a small boy who had been seen to the station to warn the mof Mr. Lynn's intended ac tion. Mrs. Lynn had found . the note In .the man's room and fearing that while he was in that state of mind he would kill both her and himself, she asked for assistance from the police , . t,J 1 lie mewl tiua uceu iiiretLieiuif j suiuiue for some time and recently has secured a revolver, but until yesterday he was never taken seriously. The police are inclined to question whether or not the man was preparing to kill himself or whether he was simply bluffing for another purpose. Police Unearth a History. rne strange story which was un earthed by the police in their lnvestl gatlon yesterday In part was a follows Mr. Lynn and the. woman In his house at 548 Van Buren street, are not man and wife. The house which they oc cupy is owned jointly by the man and the woman. The man who has only a 600 interest in the place is trying to get the woman to deed over the prop erty to him.according to the story o the woman. ' Mr. Lynn says that he has a wife living in Pennsylvania, and that his wife . promised him enough money to go there and get a divorceHe prepared to do so, but yesterday when he was about to start she would not give him the necessary money. He Is employed in the steel mills and has been turning all of his wages over to the woman. Repeatedly Threatened Suicide Mr- Lynn, who has several times threatened to take his life, became more violent yesterday and his wife became alarmed. Se knew that he had a re volver in his possession. Se did not deem it necessary to notify the police however, until after the epistle was found directing the disposition of his personal effects after he was gone. This looked too much like business and she resolved to do something at once. Fean For Her Own Life. The theory of the police is that he I simply attempting to frighten th woman intb signing over the deed to the property and is using the threat of suicide as a leverage to compel her to do so. They also believe that since his many threats did not seem to have much effect on her, that he would go step farther and leave the note where It could be found to further induce he to accede to his demands. The woman it appeared, was not so much afraid that the man would take his own life as that he would take her's. Mr. Lynn and the woman have been living In Gary for several months. M Lvnn is employed in the steel mills where he is holding a good position Both originally came to Gaoy from Pennsylvania. IS COM Will Speak in Gary Later In October and in Other Indiana Cities. On account of the great change of sentiment in favor of James E. Watson, which is apparent all over the state, the democratic state committee has thought best to have Samuel Gompers spend October 21, 22, and 23 following him around and do his best to counteract the effect of Mr. Watson's speeches. Mr. Gompers is scheduled to speak in Gary on one of these dates, and the democrats will make an effort to reclaim this city, which Is now generally conceded to be republican by a large majority. Mr. Gompers" campaign is one of de nunclation, but in view of the fact that

ONE TIME GARY LADY WANTS DIVORCE "Into the Primitive" Was 4 the Way She Lived, She Says. A Gary man has been sued for divorce t Laporte by his wife and the Argus Bulletin tells about it as follows: "Into The Primitive," one of the recent novel successes of the season, portrays life In the natural so fascinatingly as to influence many young couples to try it. But it must be re membered that, as In "The Virginian," the honeymoon was passed in tropical countries. According to a cross bill to divorce papers filed last year by her husband, Grover Hamilton, Mrs. Hamilton is decidedly opposed to the nature business in this clime, particularly when practiced in winter. October brides have another warning In the woeful tale, of Sadie Hamilton. With three Inches of snow on the ground, it being November of 1906, Sadie was living in a 10x14 tent In the wilderness almost of northern Indiana, and there wasn't a piece of kindling wood in sight. Absence of a stove would have made It useless anyway as a lighted fire " inside would have turned the canvass to ashes, and outside the wind was blowing a flurry of snow through the cracks-of the tent. What little provisions on hand Mrs. Hamilton says, had been furnished by her father, and on one cold, wild day In November there wasn't a morsel of bread In the tenthouse. About the warmest place was In bed tucked under the covers with ne'er a chance to do sewing or knitting. She would have been only too glad to have borne the freezing weather if there had been a slice of nice fresh beefsteak to broil About the only alternative was just stay in bed and try to forget it. But Mrs. Hamilton couldn't forget or forgive, and soon after separated from her husband who went to Gary, Ind. Here his conduct with other women was notorious, avers Mrs. Hamilton Though, frequently he was able to per suade women out on the lake on some "cold, clear night of stars," she makes conspicuous, by absence the fact that no woman other than herself had so followed his dictorial mandates as to seek shelter in a tent even after the sere leaves had fallen and the snowywind was sighting through bare branches. E. E. Weir is Mrs. Hamilton's counsel. BOYS FINDJJTTLE BABY (jrewsome Discovery Made By Lads While Playin Fall. A new born baby, evidently the child of a mother who feared disgrace, was found Saturday evening, wrapped in a silk handkerchief and hidden in a shoe box under a sidewalk In South Chicago near Eighty-third street and Green Bay avenue. .." The gruesome find was made by a number of boys who were playing ball In an empty lot. They spoke of it to John Kovalski. 8300 Mackinaw avenue, who notified the police. The remains of the infant which was not full grown were taken to the- county morgue. While the police have little hope of finding the guilty parents, they have nevertheless set out to find them.
