GaZ-MCK. Tucker

Colonel Wm. F. Tucker, chief paymaster of the depart ment of the lakes, is In a precarious condition from dropsical trouble at the Southern hotel. St. Louis, under police surveillance, but is to be brought back to Chicago as soon 'as possible to face a charge of desertion preferred by his wife, Mrs. Mary Logan Tucker, daughter of the late General John A. Logan. His friends are trying to prevent his return, alleging that he was under an official army order to proceed to Hot Springs, Ark., and that the civil authorities have no right to interfere. Mrs. Logan's attorney, Haynie R. Pearson, says a contention of that kind is ridiculous, and that if the colonel recovers sufficiently to proceed to Hot Springs he will be able to come to Chicago, and that his refusal to keep his word in this respect will be a tacit acknowledgment that the charges are true and that he fears to face them. In the meantime Mrs. Tucker, her mother, Mrs. Logan, and her son. Captain Logan Tucker, are speeding to Chicago from Washington ready to prosecute the charge of wife abandonment. The time of hearing will be fixed immediately upon Colonel Tucker's arrival.

! Gary Gambler and Colored Saloon Man Gets His from Justice Fitzgerald, Who Binds Him Over to Lake! Superior Court. For the first time In the history of . Justice court a prisoner was bound! over to the superior court on a chancel . iuhriiui nnu oaiiery. 'rue victim of 'this unusual ease was none other than Wave Johnson, the kins pin of the colored men and proprietor' ot a din. reputable Jiouse at Gary. Judge Fltsgerald stated that the reason that he Ttound hln over, was that he did not have he power t fine him all that he would like to, so would place him In the tender mercies of the upper court. Bent I'p Foreigner. The testimony .was that Mr.' Johnson had "unmercifully beat up a foreigner and a.negro by the name of Smilev who -were. drinking at his. bar. He charged that the latter were attempting to steal some money from' a colored man. This was arid was- in the shape of a bill of that denomination. This," he says, was passed, from the foreigner to the negro .and that, as lie noticed it he asked that it be given back to the rightfult owner, . : In defense.of.this the negro claimed that he received .the money for the purpose of -changing it and his 'Statement was verified.' During the course of the testimony it developed that Johnson is now selling liquor over his bar, the . fight Which " resulted, in the assault and - battery charge probably resulting. In- the most reprehensible manner, and .some attempt by the authorities should be made to close it up. Sent to Higher Court. . In giving his decision to send the case to the superior court, Judge Fitzgerald arraigned Johnson in the most severe, manner. He. stated that he ought to be prosecuted for selling liquor without a license, for running a disreputable house and for allowing gambling in his plce. He was censured and criticised in the most grueling manner and none who heard the remarks of Judge Fitzgerald felt that they were not Justified.

V 1 2, 'zA SENATOR BEHER1DGE 111 GARY OCT. 24 Last Big Republican Rally For Steel City Before the Election. At a meeting of the executive committee of tile Gary republican club a great celebration on tbe occasion of the visit of United States Senator Alj bert JBcrrridce will be held In the i nkating rink In Gary. j There will be neats provided so that the rink will have a capacity of 2,I SOO people and it is confidently rxpected that the rink will be more than fl,'ef-, : assigned to, this region, with, one exLception, namely, .William H. Taft, who ; will .make a thirty-minute address in Hammond on Oct. 24, Albert J. Beveridge is the biggest card. As an orator he is probably the greatest in the country, and he has been in such great demand over the whole of the United States that he has spoken in but few places in Indiana. The determination of the Gary republicans to get out a big crowd on the occasion of the visit of Senator Beveridge will afford him an opportunity to speak to a large audience. Crowds from Other Cities. It is expected that there will be large numbers of people from Hobart, Indiana Harbor, East Chicago and other of the smaller towns in the county who will go to Gary" to hear Mr. Beveridge. It will be Gary's big day in the campaign W. F. Hodges, of the republican executive committee in Gary, was made the chairman of the committee on arrangements, and he and a live crowd of workers will leave nothing undone to make the meeting a great success. The meeting will occur only a little over a week before the election, and it is considered all important that it should be made a success. Gary is now conceded by both the republicans and the democrats to be republican, but the workers over there realize the danger of over-confidence and will work as though. their lives depended upon the result. Large' posters are to be put up in every town in the country, and provisions will oe made for the decoration of the hall and the hiring of bands. There will be a large parade similar to that which was held in Hammond and the surrounding towns will be asked to send delegations to march In the parade. Won't Conflict with Taft Meeting. The Beveridge meeting is to be held in Gary on Saturday, Oct. 24. the same day that William Howard Taft speaks in Hammond. This will be in the nature of a conflict, but an effort will be made on the part of the Hammond delegation to go to Gary after Mr. Taft is through speaking in Hammond. Mr. Taft is expected to be in Hammond at about 7 o'clock. He is not expected to talk for more than half an hour, and that would make H 7:30 by the time he la through

f - rVj , id ft! Brewery Trust Expects to Work "Blocks of Five" Scheme to Defeat Election of James E. Watson and Republican Legislature. Indianapolis, Oct. 15. The plan of the liqnor interests to defeat the republican state and legislative tickets in Indiana is becoming so well developed that it is appnrent to outsiders who have been wondering what course thev would pursue. It was learned today from a thoroughly reliable source that the brew ers have, called upon their friends throughout the entire state to deliver their friends to the democratic state ticket and for the democratic candidates for the legislature. Each brewery saloonkeeper, for instance is expected to deliver five republican votes against James E. Watson and against the republican legislative candidates of his own district; in fact, the liquor interests have ; planned a "block of five" scheme, by which they hope to completely upset the republican party on Nov. 3. They Must All Work. Not only is every brewery saloonkeeper to deliver five republican votes, but every bartender, every porter, every brewery wagon driver, every brewery employe, in fact, everyone connected with the liquor . traffic is to be called upon to deliver five republicans. If the' brewers can get their friends to come through in this way they feel that they can overwhelmingly defeat the republican ticket. They have extended their plan in Indianapolis to the negro saloonkeepers; they are working it in this way: For instance, a negro porter is told that he must go out among his friends and say to them that unless the republican ticket is defeated and the county local option law is repealed he will lose' his job. ..In Indianapolis, where there are over 8.000 ne'gro voters, the brewers hope to create a lot of trouble for the republicans. There are probably( fifty saloons owned by the brewers and operated by negro political bosses. The brewers have called upon these negroes to disrupt the republican party and to deliver enough votes to them to defeat the state and legislative tickets In this county. Kasy to Carry Out There." The plan of the brewers Is easy to carry out here because they control at least S5 per cent of all the saloons. In fact, S3 per cent of the saloon-

1,200 FOREIGN VOTES THERE Pante Haralovitch Giving Splendid Aid to the Republican State County Ticket.

(Special to The, Times). Whiting. Ind Oct. 15 Whitlns Is to play an. active part In this yearns campaign, according to statements made last evening by Fante Haralovitch, leader of the city's foreign republican ranks, to n Times reporter. "We are solid for Taft and Watson both." said Mr. Haralovitch, "and are arranging one of the largest demonstrations that the county will know In tbe present campaign.' t.200 Votes There. Mr. Haralovitch is right. Whiting can control at least 1.200 foreign votes, distributed as follows: Croatlon, 350; Hungarian, 200; Slavish, 400; Polish, 200. These men on political points are absolutely friendly and Mr. . Haralovitch, after a consultation with the party leaders at Hammond, decided upon the novel idea of a huge, banquet and smoker. The affair will be held in Mettier's hall on Saturday evening, October 24, and a "howling good time" is assured to all visitors at the republican love feast. Senator Bowser f Chesterton will address the voters on that occasion, speaking entirely on the issues of the campaign. Mr. Bowser is a forceful speaker, has won a splendid reputation as a politician of sterling worth and his recital of the tale of republican prosperity and democratic woe will not fall on unheeding ears on the occasion of the Haralovitch banquet. Mr. Bowser will be followed by speakers in Polish, Slavish, Hungarian and Croation, who will, by their sound a rguments, ' win the hearts of the few foreigners present who have been heretofore listed with other parties. Candidates on the county ticket are also expected to be there and assist in the maKtng of a successful political meeting, although the fact that Mr. Taft is a speak in Hammond on that occasion will doubt less keep many of them from the Whit ing banquet. ' Croatlon Republican Club. The banquet and smoker is to be given under the auspices of the Croation Republican club of Whiting, which is composed of the entire Croation population of the oil city, numbering about 350. Its officers are Pante Hara lovitch, president; George Herockowich. vice president; Peter Baseach secretary, and Andy Brendino, treasurer. These, men are all influential party workers and are the proper men In charge of such a function, their very presence in the active ranks of the organization being sufficient warrant for the promise of one of the hottest. liveliest, cleanest and yet most pow erful political meetings that Lake county has ever known. BUSINESS IN HOLD A SiKER For the Good of South Chi cago" Is Discussed at Function Last Night. "For the Good of South Chicago," was the theme that ran through many able addresses that were made last night at' an informal smoker given by the South Chicago Business Men's association in Lincoln hall. The only regrettable feature of the evening was the non-appearance of the president, of the State Association of Businessmen, lie was detailed owing to the organization ofanother club in the southern part of the state. His absence was not permitted to long dampen the feeling of good fellowship that was prevalent. About 150 of the organization were present to spend the evening. Prominent among the speakers for the evening were Dr. A. L. Blackwood of the Chicago board of Education, Attorney Lee Carpenter, Editor Henry W. Lee. Alderman P. H. Moynihan, George Buckland. Prof. A. L. Morse of the Phillip Sheridan school, ex-President Jacob Schlosser, C. Merril. W. W. Smith, A. II. Lauteryoung and J. Tobin. The latter also presided as chairman for the evening in the absence of A. F. Kestermeier. It was a great meeting and will surely be productive of good results. Toward the close of the evening the entertainment committee composed of Messrs. Richard Binger, A. A. Bacon and A. H. Hanson, served refreshments. The South Chicago Business Men's association stands together shoulder to shoulder. The good of South Chicago as a whole is always the main object that the organization keeps In mind and the association may be Justly proud of what it has accomplished for the community, both in a material betterment and in moral welfare. keepers are merely in the employ of the brewers. However, this "block of five" scheme is not to be confined to Indianapolis. It is now being worked In every city where there is a saloon, Including the cities of Lake county. The brewers have given their followers instructions to proceed as quietly as possible, but It is known beyond question that every member of the liquor trade dependant for the brewery has been told that he must have five republican votes at his command and that" he must have them at the polls on election dav.

NAMES NOT IDENTICAL Gary Mystery Found to Be More Puzzling Than Ever Today. The theory which was advanced In Gary that the Macedonian who lost the suit case and the empty money pouch and the insane foreigner who asked Attorney Clarence Bretsch to recover $90,000,000 which he had in he bank and lost. Is found to be wrong, according to the attorney. The name which the insane man gave him and the name on the letters addressed to the man who owned the suit case, are not identical. The circumstances, however, of the two cases have so many features which tend to point to the fact that they are the same men that the authoriies have not given up hop ethat this is the man they are looking for. If it is not, then the police will be enveloped In as deep a mystery as when the suit -case and the money pouch were first found., Chief Martin still thinks that the owner of the suit case has been robbed and that he had considerable money In his possession at the time. The work of translating the letters, which were found In the suit case, will most likely begin today. SAVE THEJOi BIROS South Chicago Police Will Get After Cruel School Boys. Captain Halpin of the South Chicago police station has instructed his officers to be on the lookout for the wholesale killing of song birds by boys in the vicinity of Cheltenham and Windsor Park. v The matter was also taken up with the principals of . the various ' schools about South Chicago and the pupils will be notified about the same. During the past two weeks numerous complaints have come in from the property owners living in Windsor Park of small boys who are killing the birds. They are armed with slungshots and are making life miserable for dogs and cats in that . district.. An order will be Issued In the schools that no more slungshots will be allowed.

THE CITY Forest Blaze Near Gary Results in Splendid Work or Immense Damage Would Have Been Done to Many Buildings. The worst forest fire that has yet threatened Gary started yesterday morning and was not extinguished until after the Gary chemical outfit and dozens of people had worked from the middle of the morning until after 5 o'clock in an effort to stop the progress of the flames and save their homes. All of the methods which are resorted to by the fighters of fires in the northern woods and on the prairies were adopted at Gary, and it is estimated that at least were saved by the fifteen buildings intelligent and faithful work of the firefighters.
