STILL THE ROBBERIES KEEP UP THERE Indiana Harbor Store Is Entered and $75 Taken From Register. ROBBERY IN THE AFTERNOON Police Authorities Are Astounded at Boldness of Midnight Marauders. Special to The Times Indiana Harbor, Ind., Oct. 20. Another robbery, even more daring in its culmination than any that have heretofore confronted the local police department, was committed on Sunday afternoon when the store of Steenberger brothers, on Pennsylvania avenue, was entered and $75 in cash taken from the register. The robbery was evidently committed between the hours of three and five o'clock on Sunday afternoon, when the streets were well filled with pedestrians. Entrance to the bui'ding was effected by crawling through a small window leading into the ice box. This was then opened from the inside, and with stealthy steps, the marauders pried open the drawer of the cash register. The money, which was mostly in bills of small denomination, was soon appropriated by the alert burglar and he quickly made his escape. Notify the Police. The proprietors of the store usually sleep in the kitchen in the rear of the store on Sunday afternoon, but at the time specified were in East Chicago, visiting at the hom of friends. They noticed the ruffled condition of the store as soon as they returned and immediately began an investigation and Inventory of their loses. The police were notified, and despite their .efforts, were unable to locate any absolutfly definite clue to the identity of the burglar. No other item were taken from the store, and it is believed by Chief of Police Higgins that the theft was merely one of the series that is now terifying the natives of this city. Hardly a night or aftrnoon passes that one or more houses are not entered and losses of money and valuables reported to the police. Residents of the Harbor are alarmed and declare that they will petition the council to place several additional men on the force temporarily, hoping by this means to frignten the offenders into their proper senses, thus eliminating the danger of robbery and assault that is now uppermost in the minds of every Indiana Harbor housekeeper. making the trip in Mr. Gavit's automobile. . $ H. F. McLane of Michigan City has accepted a position as motorman on one f the C, L. S. & S. B. city line cars. Benjamin Goldman of One Hundred and Thirty-fifth and Deodar streets was a Gary business visitor yesterday. INDIANA HARBOR BOOSTER CLUB TO HOLD MEETING.

MARSHALL SPEAKS

AT Five Hundred Persons Listen to Candidate's Speech at Harbor. DEMOCRATS GIVE WELCOME Says He Was Once Arrested and Threatened With Fine and Is in Favor of Jury Trial. (Special to The Times.) Indiana Harbor, Ind., Oct 20. Five hundred persons listened to the arguments, interspersed with dry humor, advanced by the Hon. Thomas Marshall, the democratic candidate for governor, at Cohen's Auditorium last evening. Of this number at least 200,. were republicans, drawn to the meeting by the desire to see th. opponent of the republican candidate and to listen to his argumentative advances. Mr. Marshall did not arrive a the Indiana Harbor meeting until shortly after 9 o'clock, being delayed at the Hammond meeting. While the democrats gave him a rousing welcome, it was of brief duration, and Mr. Marshall was given an opportunity to launch at once into the text of his discourse. With many terse tales, snappy anecdotes and evidences of humor, Mr. Marshall attempted to enthrall the goodwill of his audience. He declared himself a candidate on the democratic platform, and paying the expenses of his election from his own pocket, without assistance from trust or corporation. In Roundly Applauded. His followers cheered vociferously whenever his statements bore any semblance of the invective, and the applause was fairly appreciable throughout the expounding of the democratic doctrines. Mr. Marshall declared himself in favor of the trial by jury in Injunction cases. "I ought to be," he said, "as I was arrested once and threatened with $100 fine and three months in jail." The candidate ridiculed the distribution of wealth in America under republican protective tariff system, and declared that the distribution was unfair, being confined entirely to the moneyed class. At this juncture, some one "in the rear of the hall called out, "How about Bryan's earnings for the past twelve years," and Mr. Marshall decided to drop the subject? He declared the democratic party to be the conservative party of the year, demanding the abolition of special privileges and the protection of vested and property rights of the American citizen. Denlea Brevrery Affiliation. His forty-five minute address was closed with a denial that the millionaire brewers had raised money for the prosecution of his campaign. "I am neither a brewery nor an anti-saloon candidate for governor of Indiana," he interpolated, "but am running entirely upon my platform as selected by the platform committee at the state convenion." Mr. Marshall declared that he would enforce the law against the "high-toned buffet" with the same rig idity as against the "poor man's sa loon," and, with his arms outstretched, made a fervent appeal for the support of the gathering. Hon. Robert E. Lee of- Louisiana, occupied the platform prior to the ar rival of Mr. Marshall and spoke for about half an hour on the issues of the campaign. His address was splen didly rendered, even better so than that of the gubernatorial candidate, but was along patriotic, rather than political lines. City Chairman P. A. Parks of the Harbor democratic organization intro duced the speakers. Hay's superb Whiting military band furnished the music for the occasion. . Altogether the meeting was by far the best that the democrats have ever held in this city.

SEVENTEEN YEAR OLD H E AD SJFORNEVi1 YORK Indiana Harbor Boy Wants to See "The Great White Way." Special to The Times Indiana Harbor, Ind., Oct. 20. George Ondos, a foreign lad of the tender age of but 17 summers had a longing to see the gay, fast life of New York City. His unquenchable desire was only satisfied by the cashing of a check belonging to his father and the appropriation of the funds received to his own personal uses. So far as the police now know, Ondos is on his way to the Great White Way, and is probably enjoying himself while his parents worry over his welfare. Ondos, sr. is a saloonkeeper on the corner of Pennsylvania avenue and Stewart place. At 9:20 o'clock yesterday morning, he sent George jr. to the Harbor State bank, instructing him to cash a check for $45. George jr. did so, and the intense longing for travel at once seized him. His steps have been traced as far as the Lake Shore depot, where he purchased a second rate ticket, it is said, for New York City. Ondos sr. is very much perturbed over the affair and says that if he was only sure that the lad had not met with foul play, he would be satisfied to forgive him for the robbery of the check. What George will do when his small capital is exhausted is not known, but it is a safe wager that he will soon tire of the pleasantries of the Bowery, and reurn to his own little Wall street in Indiana Harbor without any complaint whatever. ST. JOHN. John Keilman of Dyer transacted business here today. Joseph K. Thiel of Chicago is the guest of relatives here. Mrs. Mary Stark of Lowell is visiting her relatives here. Mr. and Mrs. John Govert of Lowell spent yesterday in St. John.
