Another Political Writer Goes to Gary to Size Up Situation. FINE UNION MEN SOREATGOMPERB MANY MEETINGS PROMISED

Charles Wheeler, of Chicago Inter Ocean, Siaes Up the Politcai Situation in Gary.

Another political writer has been to Gary to size up the political situation there. Charles N. Wheeler, the InterOcean expert, says: . "But what of Gary? The republican campaign managers in Indiana have been unable to get a poll of the new citizens at Gary, Indiana Harbor, and the smaller towns that have sprung up from the sand dunes since 1904, Even the steel company's officials at Gary have ' met with the same failure. The men will not talk. That characteristic is true of the poll among the labor forces all over the state. m "From what could be gathered from two of the union men at Gary in a confidential talk, however. It appears that the new laborers In Lake county are not going to go over to Bryan in any large numbers. The reason for this Is quite obvious. Here is a 1100,000.000 plant !n process of construction JltrwTT4 employ when completed at least 12,000 nen, at good wages. Every prominent man identified with the United States Steel corporation is for Mr. Taft with all his heart and soul. Somewhat insidiously, but, nevertheless, effectively, the story has got to these men that the election of Mr. Taft means the speedy completion of the plant with good wages for an army of men for all time. The story has also got to them that the election of Mr. Bryan will throw a pall of uncertainty over everything, that the further progress of the plant may await a settled policy of some sort or another at "Washington, that the future will be all un certainty and no one can predict what might happen. One I nlon Man' Ylwt, "One of the better paid union men Bt Gary, said, after we got him angry (for that was the only way we could get him to talk): " "Do you think we are a lot of sheep to let Sam Gorhpers deliver us to any candidate for anything? "We are not mixing up in politics. We don't care who's the next president just so we get a square deal. The union movement has no place in politics. We are stronger nnd more effective to eschew politics and make the old parties give us a fair deal.' "And yet when Mr. Taft recently made his speech in Indiana Harbor, after all the mills had been shut 'down, there were not to exceed 600 men to hear him, and they were as cold as cucumbers. "From now until election- day the union man is going to have his ear drums split with two Macedonian shrieks. One will come from the republican orators, who will point their fingers at him, make a noise like shamins? him, and ask him if Sam Gompers carries him around in his vest pocket to deliver his vote." BEVEB1DGE IN INDIANA He Will Make Sixty-Five Speeches in State Next Week. The schedule for the special train, on which Senator Beveridge will travel through Indiana for five days next week, has not been completed, but it is known that he will make sixty-five speeches in these places: Monday, October 26 Crown Point, North Judson, Knox, Walkerton, Plymouth, Warsaw, Columbia City, Garrett, Auburn, Angola. Waterloo, Kendallville, Avilla, Fort Wayne. Tuesday, October 27 Decatur, Bluffton, Huntington, Logansport, Monticello, Delphi, Frankfort, Tipton, Elwood, Newcastle, Richmond. Wednesday, October 28 Cambridge City, Connersville. Rushville, Columbus, Bloomington, Washington, Evansville. Thursday, October 29. Clinton, New port, Veedersburg, Attica, Williamsport. Goodland, Rensselaer, Monon, Lafayette, Lebanon, Anderson. Friday, October 30. Muncle, Marion Wabash, Peru, Rochester, North Man chester. Claypool, Milford. Goshen, Elkhart. Mlshawaka, South Bend, Laporte. The special train will leave Chicago next Monday morning at 7 o'clock and for five days Senator Beveridge will have about as strenuous a time as even his exuberant spirit could wish. The time table for the train will be an nounced probably tomorrow. THE CASE IS DELAYED The cape in which Gallagher and Williams of Gary are seeking to enjoin the officials and men of the building trades council of Hammond from interfering with their hiring of men, will come up in Judge Virgil S. Reiter's court this afternoon. LeGrand T. Meyer, the attorney for plaintiffs, went hunting this morning, and as the court is busy with the case of Follmar vs. the Hammond. Whiting and East Chicago Street Railway company. It is possible that the hearing of the case may be delayed until late in the day. t Attorney Charles Greenwald " will appear for the union men and is confident that he can show that Gallagher and Williams have no grounds upon which an Injunction is necessary.

POLICE DISCOVER SUFFERIHG FAMILY Brutal Father in Indiana Harbor Neglects Children for Saloons. MOTHER SICK BUSES HUNGRY "Booze Fighter" Threatened With Imprisonment Unless He Brons Up. (Special to The Times). Indiana Harbor, Ind., Oct. 21. The police were yesterday called to investigate the conditions of a family residing on Butternut street, in this city. According to the reports of neighbors. he mother and children were in a des titue condition, due to the failure of the husband and father to provide the necessities of life. Officers Welfenbach and Ford, who made the trip to the place from which the report originated, returned with a tale that cannot fail to arouse he sym pahy of the public. The mother was found ill in bed and weak from lack of proper nourishment and care. Five children, ranging 4n age from 13 years to eighteen months, were in the house. yet unable to lend their mother the aid she desired. Although there was plen ty of food in the larder, the children were unable to prepare it, and for several days had lived on uncooked foods, Child Is Dead. Only last week the infant child of the family died, and was buried In the Hammond cemetery. Investigation into the habits of the father showed him to be a human being of the worst type. Although capable of earning resonable wages, he preferred to spend his money in saloons. He cared but little what became of his family, and often so ex preeed , himself so to the neighbors, When his money was gone he resorted to the cowardly tactics of wife-beater, and according to the narrative of the woman herself, had abused her unti she was barely able to find her way about the house.

SALOOii 'TOUCHED'

by io re Ike Odons and Frank Sim mons In Trouble at Gary Yesterday. Ike Odon, agred 24 years, and Frank Simmons, Aged 25 yearn, went to Gary a spree yesterday and as a result of an attempt on their part to steal $8.65 cents ia change from the pocket of a Gary saloonkeeper, Prank Sim mons will probably bare to serve a Jail sentence and his partner was released with a reprimand. The two young men work for the Cain Construction company In Indiana Harbor and came to Gagy to make a tour of the red light district In the 'Patch." In the course of their trav els they went to the saloon of John Barnick and started to play the slot machine In hts place of business. They ran out of change and one of them asked Barnick to get them some change. They noticed that he went to the pocket of his coat and took from it a quantity of change and they de termined to get the rest of it if they could without attracting attention. "Work a . Foxy Rnse. The lighs in Barnick's saloon are acetylene gas and the coat hung on the pump by which the pressure of the gas is maintained. Simmons told Mr. Barnick that his lights were get ting low and offered to pump up the pressure on the gas a little. While he did that he took all of the change in the coat, which was hanging on the pump. He did not get away with it, however, for the saloonkeeper had him arrested, and in the trial be fore Judge Huber this morning he was bound over to the Lake superior court. Odoms was released on the plea that he did not know that Simmons was go ing to steal the money when he went over to the pump. EX-CHIEF LANDS IN BASTILE. Continued from pace 1). ing, Rogers raised his fist and struck the astonished . of fleer a blow In the face. The assailant is a man of over 200 pounds and his blow bore terrific force, cutting the officer's flesh and causing the blood to flow profusely. Policeman Defends Himself. Grasping his club Officer Thompson made a desperate effort to repudiate the attack of Rogers, but in the melee that followed the "billy" was dropped. Rogers closed in and for several minutes it was a case of "rough-and-tumble." Finally, when the officer was almost exhausted, but still aggressive, two citizens, whose names could not be learned, interfered and slipped a pair of handcuffs on the now thoroughly sobered Rogers. Officers Genesauski and Haugh arrived on the scene at this time. Followed by the mob who had witnessed the attack, they escorted the ex-chief of police to the station, where he was booked by. Sergeant Bowen. Wants Him to Go His Bail. Here Rogers had the nerve to ask the officer whom he had assaulted but a few minutes before to sign his bail bond. The officer declared that he was willing to do so, but Sergeant Bowen ! declared that Rogers would have to 1 rerna in m jan all night. He will be arraigned c before Judge DeBriae some time today, following the issuing of the necessary affidavits and warrants by Prosecuting Attorney P. E. Boone. Rogers served , as head of the police department under the Hale administration, leaving the office in 1904, after four years of service. His record at that time was of the best, and Kast Chicago pointed with pride to the man who had made such a splendid police official. On entering into the saloon business he gained quite a reputation as a "belligerent,' but leniency has always been shown him by the police department. Shoots I p the Town. Only last week he was implicated In a shooting affray in a downtown saloon, firing several shots into the ceiling. No arrests were made on this occasion, although had it been anyone else but good-natured John-Rogers the offender would nave received the ex treme penalty of the law. When not under the influence of li quor Rogers is sHiu to oe a man or splendid mental power and capability. East Chicago residents have been disposed prior to the attack of last evening to deal with his outbursts with leniency.

PR0M0T0RS OF AIR . LINE TALK OF PLANS

Paving of Track Bed on Broadway, Gary, Will Begin at Once. NO TOLLESTON FRANCHISE This, However, Will Not Be Per mitted to Delay Construction Work as Was Promised. George Raff of South Bend, and Mayor Lemuel Darrow of Laporte, large stock holders in the Gary and Interurban, and the New-Chicago Air line passed through Gary last night on their way back from the town board meeting at Tolleston, and incidentally dropped Into The Times office to tell of their plans for the improvement of the Gary and Interurban and also for the air line. Mr. Raff also signed up a contract with W. A. F. Parry, the local brlckman for the brick to be used in the pavement of Broadway. "The material for the foundation for the brick work is now lying in cars on a siding in Gary," said Mr. Raff, "and the work will be started this wek of laying the concrete foundation for the brick, unless some unforsen difficulty prevents. We expect the'nrlck to arrive in less than two weeks. The work of paving Broadway wil be a long tedious job owing to the careful process which we use In laying the pavement. The concrete mixer is now being set up ready to begin operation'." Promises to neach Gary hy Jane. - Mr. Edwards, one of the most successful railroad construction men in the busines will be put in personal charge of the work. Mr. Eiwards is the man who recently succeeded Chief Enginer Mapledorum of the air line. This will Insure on the best jobs that that can be put in, acording to the officials who were here yesterday. Mr. Darrow was certain that the new process would be successful. In regard to the plans for the Air line, Mr. Raff said that they would have the line completed to Gary by June and that it would then be pushed straight to Hammond. "The fact that we did not secure a franchise in Tolleston, however," he said, "may make some difference In our plans. It may now be necesary to build it north of that town instead of straight through it as we originally intended. It is not likely however, that this will be allowed to effect the progress in the construction of the road." SAVE THE PIGS TO BUY WIVES. One Reason Why Cannibalism Flour ishes in the New Hebrides. The New Hebrides are still popu lated by hordes of man-killing and man-eating savages, precisely as trrey were in the days of Cook. Owing to international jealousy, mis sionary enterprise has been able to accomplish little or nothing on the majority of the islands. Indeed, the in teriors of most of them remain to this day unexplored and the tribes men there have never seen a white face. Nevertheless they, all own firearms, which they have obtained from the coast dwellers, and labor-recruiting vessels. With these they go gun ning for one another in. order to replenish their larders, for they are cannibals to a man. Not "cannibals occasionally, and through stress of circumstance, as are some of the Central African negroes. The New Htbridean native eats human flesh habitually because he likes it, and because it costs nothing and is easily procurable. This is shown by the fact that although pigs abound on most of the Islands, ' they are rarely killed for food. Such a proceeding would be regarded as sinful extravagance. For pigs constitute the currency of the country, and can be exchanged for tobacco and beads; or for wives, the greatest of all luxuries. For 20 pigs one can buy a really good-looking girl-wife, who will delight her lord and master in her youth, and slave for him from daylight to iark in the yam plantations when she jets past her prime.

Servian leaders in South Chi cago and Gary, among whom Mr. .Milllch Is at the' head, are working up sen timent among their countrymen and If the Balkan trouble is not settled soon many of them will leave Gary at once and depart for Servia. SHORT BOARD MEETING Gary Town Fathers Will Hold a Special Session This Week. The Gary town board met for their regular weekly session yesterday aft ernoon," but nothing of special Import ance come up before the meeting. Ow ing to the fact that President Knotts was on the reception committee for the Marshall meeting, the members soon disposed of the business on hand in a short time. Attorney Call, representing the Chi cago. Lake Shore and Eastern rail road, asked the board for a franchise permitting them to cross the. Clark road with several switches. The request was granted by the board. President Knotts said that owing to special business that would come up before the next regular meeting next Tuesday a special session of the board would be held later on in the week.

At the convention at which the democrats were to select a prosecuting attorney and a judge of the Lake circuit court, it endorsed Charles Greenwald, the republican candidate for prosecutor, and Judge W. C. McMahon of Crown Point, the republican candidate ' for Judge of the circuit court, and yet in the face of what the democrats have done, the law student, fresh from Valpartso university, proposes to force himself upon the party here in spite of their opposition. et Chilly Reception, . He wants to take advantage of the law which permits a man to have his name placed upon the ticket of any party when there have been no nominations made by that party and he succeeds in securing the names of twentyfive members of that party to his pe tition. It was a frigid reception that the ambitious Whiting boy received when he appeared before the county commissioners and asked to have his name put on the democratic ticket. The democrats realized that it would cost them many votes because of the necessity for scratching the ticket that would result, arid the republicans did not like it because Charles Green wald is now, certain of election, and there is no need of cimpllcatlng matters.

Both par ties are active, the democracy being especially well organlied and the republicans fighting hard to retain their majority of past years. Public rally evenings have been arranged and for the next two weeks Whiting will pre sent somewhat of its former political aspect, enthusiasm being promised for every public demonstration and meet lng. Meet TVunorrow Evening. The oil city democracy will hold an informal meeting In their headquar ters on One Hundred and Nineteenth street tomorrow evening. fc.x-benator Johannes Kopeike of Crown Point will deliver the principal address.. Mr. Ko pelke is a fair-minded speaker, and Is one of the strongest men drafted by the democratic county central com mittee. Messrs. Edward O'.Hara, Wil liam E. Hickey and Charles Naef will also address the voters, and attempt by their explanations of the Bryan policies and their multiple meanings to throw Whiting off the republican ship of state into the troubled sea of democratic doctrines. On -next Tuesday evening the final rally of the year will be held. The speaker has not yet been engaged, al though Colonel J. Hamilton Lewis, the ex-Chicago corporation counsel; George W.

He has succeeded in securing the services of a -prominent foreign speaker, president of several foreign societies in Pittsburg, to address his countrymen. Senator A. J. Bowser of Chesterton is also scheduled to deliver an address, as will also several of the county candidates. Most of the latter have promised to be present after the Taft demonstration at Gary on that night. Although this banquet and smoker is advertised as the final rally of the campaign,' local republicans will en- ' deavor to secure two or three speakers of this state, if not national reputation, for the last Saturday before election day. This matter is still in abeyance and will be decided by the latter part of this week. A STABTLIiSTATEiNT New York Medical Authorities Claim Dyspepsia Causes Consumption. The post jnortem statistics of the big New York hospitals show that some cases of consumption are due' to unchecked dyspepsia, especially when the victim was predisposed to tuberculosis. Dyspepsia wears out the body and brain, the weakened. Irritable stomach is unable to digest food, the body does not receive the required nourishment, constipation ensues and the victim becomes thin, weak and haggard. As a result, the body befomes a fertile field for' tho germs of disease to lodge and flourish. Therefore, the person who permits dyspepsia to progress unhindered is guilty of contributing toward the development ot one of the must Insidious and fatal diseases known to mankind. Dyspepsia is curable if properly treated. Kaufman and Wolf sell a remedy which they positively guarantee will cure indigestion or dyspepsia or they will pay for all the medicine used during the trial. This remedy is an absolutely new medical discovery and has been named Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets. Certainly no offer could be more fair, and the offer of Kaufman and 'Wolf is proof positive that Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets are a dependable and infallible remedy. Inasmuch as the medicine will cost you nothing if it does not benefit you we urge you who are suffering with indigestion or dyspepsia to try this remedy. A twenty-five cent box of Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets contains enough medicine for fifteen Cays' treatment. Remember Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets are only sold in Hammond by Kauiman and won.
