East Chicago, Ind.. Oct. 8. The headquarters of the Young Men's Re

committee. The first regular meeting

the entertainment of James Watson, our candidate for governor, who will
addretft the East Chicago and Indiana

At the meeting In the republican headquarters at Hammond yesterday afternoon, Mr. Schaaf declared to At

would apeak In the new skating rink on that evening. The special trains sent from Hammond and East Chicago to the big barbeoue at Crown Point on that day will be returned via East Chi-
. cago and unloaded at this place, per
mltting every one who attends the bar
becue meeting to assist in the demon stratlon in this city.
Although the parade In this city will not be as large as that In Hammond a
week ago, the voters of this locality
will make themselves felt in the cam

for and the Lewis skating rink, which will be completed by "Wednesday even
ing, will easily hold 2,000 persons. Turn About Fair Play.
In4 a letter addressed to the Republican club of East Chicago, Chairman
Schaaf declared his intention to recip
rocate for the excellent showinp of the East Chicago organization In the Ham
mond parade. The delegation from th.
Hammond Young Men's Republican club is- also expected to attend in a body, while delegations from Gary and Whiting are also assured. To hear Mr. Watson Is to believe in him, and there will be many good republican votes made before the close of the meeting. His clear, sound, logical statements, and his heart-to-heart talks with the laboring and saloon elements wilt win him as many loyal friends in East Chicago as did the Hammond meeting, and round this end of the county up for a big majority this year.

Regular Meeting Which Was to Have
Been Held Yesterday Is Dispensed With.
The standing committee of the Com
mercial club which were appointed by
Pi esident H. S. Norton were announced
yesterday afternoon in the club rooms I of the Gary hotel, where a meeting of the organization was to have been held. There was to have been a special session of the club but owing
to the fact that notices had not been sent out to the members, there was a large enough attendance to warrant any proceedure. The committees which were appointed consisted most of the leaders of the club whose activity in the past warrent their tenure of the important places on these various committees of the organization, as matters which come under their jurisdiction are of the utmost Importance. The committees wnich were appointed by Captain Norton are as follows: , Entertainment C. H. Maloney, chairman; Dr. T. B. Templin, Theodore Binzen, H. G. Hay jr.. Marc N. Goodnow. City ordinances W.

BRUTAL ASSAULT UPOIIBILLCOLLECTOR Stranger From Chicago Theater to Swear Out Warrant for Hubinger.
EAST CHICAGO'S
NEW FIRE APPARATUS
City Now Splendidly Equipped to Fight Fire When It Comes.
Theodore Binzen, who Is a German and who conducts one of the . most popular saloons in Gary, whose place
of business is known all over the city and who is the pioneer restauranter and saloonkeeper in Gary, is out for Taft, Watson and the whole republican ticket. Mr. Binzen says that all of this talk about Watson is bosh, concocted by the democrats to scare a lot of saloonkeepers Into voting for ; Thomas Marshall Mr. Binzen Is one of the rapidly Increasing number of saloonkeepers who believes that Watson will give Lake county a square deal. He laughs at the .idea of Lake .. county going dry
when it would be necessary to secure
4,000 signers to a petition before the
matter .can even be put to vote.
He is of the opinion that If there
had been county local option Instead of township local option, Gary would
never have gone dry and he does not believe that it will ever go dry again.
But Mr. Binzen is a warm admirer
of Mr. Watson himself and says that
he will make the greatest, governor
that Indiana ever had. His saloon, where hundreds of workingmen stop on their way from work, is plastered with pictures of Taft, Watson and many
county candidates.
It is understood that there are many
other Gary saloonkeepers who are going to vote for Watson and others who
had thought of voting for Marshall have deceived them and that Watson will be just as friendly to them as
Marshall.
Others of them say that the republic
an ticket is sure to be elected anyway.
and it is a whole lot better for them to
climb on the bandwagon and be
right than it is to oppose the republican candidate and then have him hostile to them through his whole administration.

A Bf FIRE ENGINE ARRIVES
ARE ORDERED FROM HOTEL
Victim's Spectacles Are Broken and Pieces of Glass Cut His Eye Permanent Injury May Result. One of the most brutal assaults ever perpetrated In tiary was that of Frank Hubinger, employed by . the S. I Eialer company upon the person of an aged collector from Chicago to whom he owed the sum of 140. Contrary to the prevailing custom about Gary of assaulting an Individual when he owes that person some money, Hubinger hit the collector to avoid being pressed to pay It. The aged man who Is a collector for Armour & company, has refused to give out 1b name, but says that he will swear out a warrant for Hubinger today. Ordered Out pt Place. The assault occurred near the Gary hotel at Sixth and Broadway. The argument started in the Gary hotel
where both parties had stepped In to
get a cigar and talk the matter over. Soon their conversation became so loud
that Proprietor O'Donnel asked them to
step outside and settle their difficulties. This they did, and In a few minutes the collector came back to the hotel with
blood streaming from his face. He
had been hit in the face without warn
ing by Hubinger, and the blow had
struck his glasses. The breaking of his glasses caused the glass to cut the eye, and there Is possibility that that organ has been most seriously
Injured. Those who witnessed the as
sault outside of the hotel say that the
assault was most cowardly, when they saw that the man was so old. The collector stated that he was nearly sixty.

DEMOCRATS LIVEH UP
i Hammond Speakers Will
Address the Faithful at Gary.
The democratic club of Gary will
gather its shattered forces together
tonight and hold a meeting at the cor-

mond and It was decided to sent Joseph .Conroy and Judge W. W. McMahon to the disaffected district and see if there is any hope of resusitatlng the democracy of Gary.
Arrangements will be made for the
meeting, which will be held In Gary
jon October 20, when Thomas Marshall
will speak. An effort will be made to get out a crowd and make the meetings a success.
Thomas Marshall is the last resort
of the Lake county democracy and if his meeting should fall it will be the last straw. It Is expected that Mr.

been decided where the chemical en

from being the wild enthusiasm that has been manifested by the republicans.
