Says Demos Would Use Hunkey Vote If They Could Get

Crown Point, Ind., Dec. 26. Men
who know the political game In Indiana, or at least thought they knew It, admit they are In the kindergarten
class as far as politics, as practiced in Lake county. Is concerned. There is no place in Indiana where It Is done as It is done here. The voting of the
miserable "Hunyaks" in Indianapolis is
a close approach to it, but it Is not the real thing Lake county is in a
class by itself..

to the neighboring city, and brought them back to Whiting. Whon seen by Dobbertina he said that, although their wearing apparel tallied with those ot the men who assaulted him, he did not think they were the guilty ones. ' The boys gave their names as Fred Huber and Dave Adda of Hammond. They were, however, held until the Hammond police had investigated their story and when this was found to be true, they were released Just in time to get the last car out of "Whiting to Hammond, which was at 1:40 a. m. In speaking to Whiting people after their release they said they regretted very much the idea of being Incarcerated for several hours for something of which they were not guilty, but said they were treated most kindly by the Whiting police. About 12 o'clock, while Of fleer Vacha was traveling his beat, he arrested another suspect at One Hundred and Twenty-firBt and Schrage avenue. The young man was a stranger In town and gave his name as B. Goodrich and offered as proof of his statement severr al letters which he carried In his ocket. Dobbertlne said he could not positively identify this man either, so It is thought the real highwaymen are still at large. Boys wearing small college caps need not be surprised if arrested on suspicion, as every one seen with this kind of headgear on Thursday night was stopped and compelled to give an account of himself.

A recoin mmjdatlon which will have
direct bearing on the Calumet region and which, if accepted, will prove to
be another big step toward the ad'
Tiacemciit and Improvement of this
territory, will bf ..submitted to the Chi
cago city council by the Chicago Har
bor emission Jan. 11.
The proposed improvements, however,
as far as the Calumet, region are con cerned, are only incidental to the ex
penditure of millions of dollars which
the commission will recommend and
none of the money will be spent out side of Illinois.
In making these recommendations
the commission has in mind the im
provement of Chicago Harbors, docks
ana waterways wmcn are to iorm a
highway from Chicago to the gulf.
Keeping these objects In sight it will
not be necessary for Chicago to spend
money In Indiana, but whatever im
provements are made on the Calumet
river are bound to benefit the whole
river and the surrounding territory,
Of the twenty-three recommendations
that will be submitted by the com
mission, Ave of them will touch on the
Calumet river directly. The five to affect the Calumet river are as fol
lows: What the Commission Recommends.
Survey of all Chicago river dock line to determine all rights of ownership.
Similar surveys for lake front and the
Calumet river.
Calumet cut-off, or cut from the lake
near Twenty-second street, to furnish another outlet for commence at the
mouth of the future deep waterway to
the Mississippi.
Immediate protection of the Calumet
river against center pier bridges, ob
structlons, encroachments, etc., to avoid
the mistakes made in the Chicago river.
Widening of the Calumet river to 300
feet as far as the forks, and to still
greater width on the bends.
Possible creation of a huge harbor
n the Lake Calumet. ,
The above are merely the provisions
affecting the Calumet river and Lake
Calumet. They alone would entail a
vast expenditure of money, and still
leave eighteen other provisions, for
which the amounts would run in the
millions.
It is hot thought that the city coun
cil will adopt all the provisions at
once, .but those who are watching the
trend of affairs say that the able was not far off it outlining the needs of
Chicago shipping facilities.
to, are controlled by their boarding
bosses, the saloonkeepers, the boss over
them in the plant where they work, and the owners of the plants thus Indirectly control the "Hunkies" in behalf of the republican party. And,
to go further, the owners of these
plants are objecting to a revision of the tariff that the people who pay the bills are asking for.
When the "Hunky Vote Reaches. Tou say that is far-fetched. Is it?
Let us see where the "Hunky" vote reaches in Lake county. It is agreed by every one that the "Hunky" vote
carried Lake county for Congressman
Crumpacker. Congressman Crumpack
er has appointed as postmaster, Mose
Specter for the city of East Chicago.
'Why was Mose appointed postmas
ter?" I asked a citizens of East Chi
cago.
'Be cause Mose can deliver the
goods," came the reply. "He used to be
a saloonkeeper, he has relatives in the saloon business, and he can round up
more of the 'Hunky' vote than any man
In East Chicago."

Superior Court Committee
at Gary to Go to the Capital.
The central superior court commit
tee of Gary will probably hold a meeting In the early part of next week for the purpose of raising: the necessary
money to send their committee of
lobbyists to Indianapolis. Each organ ization represented In the central com
mittee win De asKea to donate a cer
tain amount of money with which to defray the expenses according to its siie, and the amount ofr money in the treasury. ) . " It is probable also that the committee will leave for Indianapolis within a week, where they will present their case before the state legislature. There will be about ten of the most widely acquainted business men of the city and the men who are experienced in lobbying, which will be selected to go to the capital. At the present time It appears as if the Citizens' ' General committee had given up the Idea of having the Judicial committee of the legislature come to Gary to sea the city and determine for itself what amount of legislation originates here, and the necessity for a court. It may be possible that a meeting will be called for tonight, to take up the matter, hut up utnll noon this meeting had not been called.

Whiting People Wonder What Will
Be Happening Next in the Oil City.
Hold-ups In Whiting are getting to be quite common when they happen at the rate of two In less than one
week. On Monday night Tom Boland, manager of the local branch of the Knick
erbocker Ice company, was held up ty two masked men. and at the point of a revolver was relieved of quite a
sum of money. On Christmas eve at 9 o'clock a similar event happened when "William Dobbertlne was likewise held up.
Dobbertlne was on his way to his
home on Central avenue and as he turned off One Hundred and Nine
teenth street to Central avenue he was
met by the two hold-up men, both of whom were masked. As they approached their victim they ordered him
to hold up his hands.
Instead of complying with their re
quest he resisted them for a time.
Seeing that they were up against some
thing they did not expect and fearing
they would be worsted, one of the men hit Dobbertlne on the head with the
"butt" of the revolver. This caused
Dobbertlne to scream. This fright
ened the highwaymen and they made
their escape, having had no chance to
relieve the old man of any valuables.
which he had on his possession. He
managed to gte to his home, although
the blood was flowing freely from the
wound. Dr. G. H. Hoskins was called and found the wound In the man's scalp to be quite a serious one, and It was
necessary to Insert several stitches Into
the gash.
The police were notified and the drag
net was thrown out in an effort to apprehend any persons answering the
description.
Dobbertine's descrition of them was
that they were young fellows wearing
caps and short coats.
The first information was received
from the police at East Chicago. In a message they told of having arrested two young boys as they were about to change cars going from Whiting to
Hammond.
The lads were held in the East Chicago station until Officer Emmel went
