7 the past few days Gary has been or."irhelmed by the influx of a num-

be Df the best known business men of the country. Monday one of the best known of them all, Mr. Ellis E. Corey, president of the United States

Steal company, will be In Gary for the

purpose of looking over the Gary mills.

In the construction of the mills they have now reached the second stage and

for the past few weeks the mills have

been carefully inspected by high of ficials of the steel company. Mills May Open Any Time.

Aside from a general inspection of the mills, no other significance is

placed on Mr. Corey's visit to Gary It may be that the plans for the open

ing of the mills will be discussed, and that they will arrive at some decision which will be of vital interest to Gary.

It is known that some of the build ings have reached such a state of com

pletion that they will be ready to start operations in that department almost

any time.

Preceeding Mr. Corey, a number of

officials of he steel company came to

Gary yesterday for the purpose of looking through the mills. This party consisted of K. J. BufFlngton, presi

dent of the Indiana Steel company; G.

(Special to Th Timer.) Indiana Harbor, Ind., Oct. 17.-

ana Harbor and East Chicago

dents who visit Chicago theaters and

are compelled to use the midnight Lake Shore railroad train to return

home, are soon to be given better in

terurban srvice between this city and

East Chicago, according to promises made by H. C. Buchanan, manager of

the C, 1m S. & S. B. line. Mr. Buch

anan made an Inspection trip over the line yesterday and was greatly pleased with the progress made towards bet

ter service during the past two weeks.

Company Is Not Yet Satisfied. "Our company wishes to give resi

dents of the Calumet region the kind of service," said Mr. Buchanan, "and while it may take a little longer, than

we expected we will soon give them a railway to be proud of." The particular improvement to be considered by the road officials is the institution of a car between Indiana Harbor and East Chicago, leaving this city at 12:15 a. m., or waiting until the arrival of the midnight L. S. & S. B. train from Chicago. This will permit residents of the district south of this city and in the vicinity of the Condut works and steel foundries to save the usual two-mile walk. It will

also be of immense value to skating rink visitors and guests at dances in

this city during the winter months. As

the service is now scheduled, the last car leaves Indiana .Harbor at 11:20 o'clock and this, to residents of this vicinity, seems unreasonably early. To Pat on New Switches. The Hanna company Is ateo contemplating the installation of proper switches at the Guthrie street barn in order that the smalt cars, operating on the East Chicago service, can be kept in the Harbor over night. They are now being taken to Gary, where they are exposed to the wind and weather. Mr.' Buchanan figures that the keeping of the cars in the Harbor barn will mean a saving to the company both in power used and the usual wear and tear on the car mechanisms.

Car No. 60, which was damaged in

the wreck with the C. T. & T. engine

on last Friday evening, has been taken to Michigan City, where Mr. Buchanan reports it as fully repaired and

reaoy to he returned to service on

Sunday. ,

New York, Oct. 17. That nn Increase In hnslncss throughout the country depends upon the election of W. H. Tart Is the consensus of opinion among- the 3.0OO members of the National Association of Mannfacturexs, .reflecting In an article to be published Saturday In Anericas Industries, the magastne of that organisation. American Industries has been making o canvass among members of the association with a view of obtaining information concerning present trade condi

tions and the outlook for the future. A large number of the replies received placed particular stress upon the polit

ical situation as the dominant factor which controls the return of prosperity.

The magazine contains a resume of

trade "conditions covering , the entire country and the results show that present conditions of trade in the majority

of industries are fair and , the possibilities of an increase during the coming year are good. The industries scheduled are iron and steel, machin

ery, tools and hardware, agricultural

impliments, textiles, paper and printing,

leather and its manufactures, lumber and Its manufactures, vehicles, food

products and cement and clay products. What some of the .large manufacturers of the south have to say concerning the most desirable outcome of the presidential election next month' is shown' in the following extracts from their replies: The "Woodward Iron company, Woodward, Ala. E'ect Taft. Alabama Consolidated Coal and Iron

company, Birmingham, Ala. Tne possibilities for the iron trade for 1909 hinge on the election of Taft as president and the ability of the railrqads to finance, their needs.( , ' Hardie-Tynes Manufacuring company, Birmingham, Ala. If, the republican ticket Is elected we believe the outlook is bright for a good business. The Phillips & Buttorf Manufacturing company, Nashville, Tenn. Elect Taft. ' " The Baltimore Bridge company, Baltimore, Mr. Elect Taft. ' The democrats had the opportunity of a lifetime and ' sold their birthright for a mess of verbiage. John L. Roper Lumber company, Norfolk, Va.; We are in sympathy with

those now In authority and would prefer to hav their policies continued. That western manufacturers also favor the election of Taft is shown in the exerpts below, .taken from the replies of numbers of the leading firms canvassed: Dean Brothers, steam pumps. Indianapolis We think that the trade possibilities for the coming year will turn on the election of Taft and a republican house. The Connersville Blower company, Connersville, Ind. We do not look for

next year, whereas, if Bryan should succeed, we fear it will be much delayed. " ' ... The Hill Machine company, Anderson, Ind. About the only thing . w.e can suggest that might help prosperity is to elect Taft. Inland Steel company, Chicago We look for good business conditions next year, providing a republican president is elected. In that case we expect to run at full capacity. B. T. Skinner, treasurer of Advance Thrasher company. Battle Creek, Mich.

a speedy return of prosperity, but think Possibilities, and, I think, probabili

ties, for the coming year are not promising, but it is the writer's opinion that the election of Bryan would make a decided change for the worse. James TV. Van Cleave, president of the Manufacturers' organization says in American Industries: "There are fewer idle persons in the United States now than at any previous time since .the beginning of the scare last November. Aside from chance the very remote chance that Bryan may be elected, there is not a cloud on the business horizon, so far as I; can gee" at this moment.

RUS1NESS AT WHITING fIGJOR ELECTION Biggest Republican Majority Ever Given in Whiting Is Expected.

(Special to The Times.)

Whiting, Ind., Oct. 16. Business in

this city is already picking up on all

sides, reported Charles D. Davidson, Whiting's pioneer real estate man, last evening. The cause of the business

increase, according to Mr. Davidson, is

the hope in the Taft succession to the

Roosevelt policies and Whiting repub

licans nave tne city sewed up In. a neat little package, solid for Taft, Watson and the county ticket from top

to bottom.

In fact republicanism ,is so- strong

in this city that the party has even

given up the idei of opening headquarters. Quiet work is being done by the party leaders, c inversions being

made on the street and .lt is estimated

in the dominant circles that the majority for the eagle ticket this year will

be greater than ever before in the history of the city. Democrats on the

other hand are equally confident of an

increase in the vote, but while they have opened headquarters in the Horn-

ecker building, it is said, to be a fact that there is a notceable lack of en-

thuiasm. Senator Bowser to Speak.

Among the prominent meetings to be

held in this city will be the Croatian

banquet on Oct. 24. Mr. Haralovleh, president of the Croatian repulican

club, who has the meeting in charge

reports that he has secured the serv

ices of one -of the presidents of the national Croatian organization to ad

dress the voters. Not only the foreign population of the city is interested in this meeting, but the entire forces

of the militant republican party will

be present and lend their enthusiasm

to that of the Croatian club. ' Senator

Bowser, of Chesterton, is to be the

drawing card of the evening, and wil

. probably make one of the most inter

estine address of the. evening.

NTERURBAM TELLS

OF IMPROVEMENTS

Gary Line Makes Welcome

Announcements of Its Plans.

START RECEPTION COMMITTEE

State Labor Commissioner of Louis

ana Will Aid Mr. Tom Marshall.

The Gary & Interurban announced

today that they are about to inau-

gerate a great Improvement, both in

their service and equipment. So rapid

are the improvements being brought about that they are fairly bewildering

and the Gary nervice will be made as

good as there is in this part of the state. The Times story to the effect

that work was to start in the near future on the pavement of the right of way of the street railway, was veri

fied last night by Superintendent WV C.

Phillips, who stated that the material

for this work was now on the way to Gar-, if the brick arrives as soon

as expected work will be started on the paving Monday. This will be a

wonderful relief to the public which has long suffered the inconvenience of having the middle of the street im

passible. Service Is Bettered. In addition to the paving of the

street, the car service was bettered and went into effect today. Hereafter there

will be three cars in operation in Gary instead of two. Two of them will operate on Broadway from the Lake Shore tracks to Toleston. On the Toleston division a twenty-four minute service will be maintained, and on

Gary up to Eleventh avenue there will be a twelve minute service. North of Eleventh avenue cars will run each way every nine minutes. One of the two cars which arrived this week will be used as an extra for morning and

evening service, to and from the mills. Still another improvement for the equipment is the arrival of four fenders, which will be put on the cars in the next four days. These fenders, which are said to be very expensive, will be of material assistance in helping to mitigate the danger in operation of the cars. One of the strongest objections to the line has been the absence of any means of protection from the cars.

(Special to The Times.)

Indiana Harbor, Ind., Oct. 17. Monday night Is to be the biggest night in the campaign for Indiana Harbor democrats and they are hard at work preparing for the entertainment upon that evening of Hon. Tom Marshall, the democratic nominee for governor. "Big doing" are outlined by the committee on arrangements and the Bryan organization, while small, expects to have a fairly good representation present to hear the speaker of state, if not. interstate reputation. Will Come From Hammond. Mr. Marshall will arrive in Indiana Harbor from Hammond about 8:30

o'clock, and will be escorted to Cohen's Auditorium by a reception committee

comprised of twelve prominent business men of the city. The personnel

of the committee is as follows: P. A.

Parks, Edward V. Walton, Nick Wentz,

George M. Faulknor, E. E. Beck, Al

bert Kaufman, M. G. Sternberg, Bruno Screiber, Otto Seehase, Andrew Hines, John Keller and Chris Strauss. Hay's

Whiting band is also to be engaged

for the evening, and Mr. Parks, who is

at the head of the Monday evening

demonstration, declares that a quantity

of red fire is to be burned outside the

hall. This,, it is believed, will attract people from the outskirts of the city and give them a chance to compare the

arguments of Marshall with those of

Jim Watson, who has made a reputa

tlon for sound, logical speaking during

his campaign fr the gubernatorial po

sition. On the Speaker's 1.1st. Robert E. Lee, state labor commis

sioner of Louisiana, is also on the speaker's list for the evening, and will occupy the platform until the arrival of Mr. Marshall from his Hammond

meeting. Mr. Lee is said to be

splendid orator, of the shouting type, and will attempt to show thetsuperiority of his party's platform over that of the republican party by a comparison of the labor regulations throughout the country. His address will be well worth hearing and is predicted, and not by republican alone, as being a splendid opportunity for the citizens of Indiana aHarbor and East Chicago to once more convince themselves that the country ieeds four more years of prosperity under a continuation of the Rooseveltian policies and not a free-trade, free-silver antiimperialistic campaign such as that offered by the Bryan followers.

FIREfilEN SAVE BRIDGE

(Special to The Times.-) East Chicago, Ind., Oct. 17. East

f 1 V, I 11 - . .

j"tBu lire department was given a

quick run last evening when the marsh

fires which have been burning south of the Calumet river, threatened to eat across the Forsyth avenue bridge. By

prompt work the blaze was extin

guished and thousands of dollars of valuable property saved. The fires

have been burning for several days

and had they succeeded in gaining access to the property on the north side of; the river, homes in that vicinity

would certainly have been destroyed.

The marsh fires west of the city

limits also drew threateningly near to the C. T. T. shops, and for a while it looked as though the department would

have to be called to protect the prop

etry. The flames gradually died out

however, although a policeman was stationed near the shops nearly all

night to give an alarm in case one

was needed.
