Deep Rumblings Are Heard in East Chicago and Indiana Harbor, Portending a Bitter Fight That Is Being Prepared for Fall.

ATTY. PATTERSON AN AV0WEDGAHD1DATE Other Names of Prominent Men on Kepublican Ticket Are Frequently Mentioned Democrats Inactive, But Citizens' Party Is Bestirring Itself to Select Desirable Timber. (Special to Thb Times.) East Chicago, Ind.. Jan. 9. Now that the heat of the national poirtical campaign has been forgotten, the Christmas and New Year's season past and business "almost" brought to Its normal condition, there comes a faint gleam of political light which local politicians declare is an augury of the forthcoming mayoralty campaign. The campaign in East Chicago and the Harbor this year promises to be extremely interesting and bitter, both sections of tht city declaring that the best intests of he city will demand their candidate. For instance, over in the Harbor, there will be several possibilities brought out. Attorney J. A. Patterson, who was recently appointed deputy prosecuting attorney under C. E. Greenwald, is the only one who has openly declared himself to be a mayoralty candidate. Mr. Patterson will make a strong fight for the nomination and has a legion of friends who will support him in his contest There is considerable talk of Charles E. Fowler, the real estate man, while Thomas O'Connell of the Harbor hotel, and Attorney T. M. C. Hembroff are reported as being in a receptive frame of mind. This quartet of candidates is a strong one and one from which it will not be, hard to choose a winner. Representing a varied host of friends, there is considerable fear that when the time comes internal wrangling will result in the overthrow of the Harbor's chances for a mayoralty successor to Mr. DeBriae, the present incumbent of the office. I.ewln In the Lead. In East Chicago conditions are almost as complicated. Alderman Albert Lewis will, beyond a doubt, head the republican forces. Mr. Lewis' work on the council has been safe and intelligent and the determination of his ability to carry or lose this end of the city will be decided entirely upon the basis of personal friendship of the voters for one or another of the possibilities. Friends of John D. Williams of Magoun avenue are again urging the office upon him with the assurance that he will meet with better success than ever before. Dr. A. G. Schleiker, the republican city chairman, has not openly declared himself to be a candidate, although his friends maintain that he will be the next mayor of East Chicago. The democratic and citizens' forces do not appear to have rallied for the fight as yet. Councilman Joe Wlekllnski being the only "Citizen" whose name has been mentioned as a possible candidate. It is not generally believed that the democrats will place a ticket in their field, as without a strong issue democracy stood but little show in East Chicago politics. The "Citizens ticket will again have its candidates, the information comes from a relable source, and will select the strongest candidates in their ranks for the conduction of a clean and conservative fight. Re-eleotlon for Slocomb. Little has been said about a successor for A. G. Slocomb, the present city treasurer although Mr. Slocomb has signified his intention of again mak ing the race. Walter Spencer is work ing hard for his election as city clerk and his excellent manipulation of the office as deputy will practically result in its being handed to him without opposition. Oscar Goerg of the Harbor was elected city clerk at the last mu nicipal election but attempted to fath om its intricacies for only twentyfour days when he turned its burdens over to Mr. Spencer as deputy with full powe rto act. Mr. Spencer is a bright, clean-cut young fellow and his labors in the interests of his home city are worthy the recognizance of his political followers. WHITING HUMS KILLED Henry Johnson Meets His Fate at Wood River, Illinois. (Special to The Times.) Whiting-, Ind., Jan. 9. An explosion of a still occurred at the Standard Oil company's refinery at Wood 'River, 111., at which Henry Johnson, formerly employed on the stills at the local refinery, was killed. Johnson was well known here and the Whiting1 people were sorry to hear of his fate.

VOTE OF CONFIDENCE FOR V ITSOil William E. Blakely Is Re- . appointed Factory Inspector.

HE COST CANDIDATE VOTES Was Reported To lie Unfriendly to Labor and Also Replaced a G. A. R. Man. Indianapolis, Ind., Jan. 9. By voting, yesterday, to confirm the appointment of William E. Blakely as state factory inspector, the republican majority of the senate gave James E. Watson a vote of confidence. It will be remembered that Blakely was appointed by Governor Hanly at the earnest request of Watson, and that the appointment caused Watson some trouble in the recent campaign, when he was defeated for governor. Blakely was a manufacturer at Shelbyville and it said to have been prominent in some kind of a commercial or manufacturers organization, which organized labor considered unfriendly to its interests. When Watson was first a candidate for congress Blakely assisted him in many ways. While making his canvass of the district Watson was a frequent guest at Blakely's home. It Warn a Personal Favor. Watson was elected to congress. In June 1907,- the term of David H. McAbee, as state factory inspector, expired, and Blakely wanted the place. Watson went to Governor Hanly and asked him as a personal favor to ap point Blakely to succeed McAbee. It was purely a personal request, and Governor Hanly granted it and gave Blakely the place. Immediately the storm broke over Watson. Organized labor denounced him for recommending the appointment and even went so far as to take the matter into the cam paign and used it to show that Watson should not be elected governor. McAbee was a member of the G. A R. and this organization got an ax out for Hanly and for Watson, because the G. A. R. wished McAbee continued in office. Watson, during the campaign, as sumed full responsibility for the ap pointment of Blakely and explained in his speeches that he made the recom mendation because Blakely was one of the best friends he ever had a friend at a time when he needed friends and he did not express any regret at making the recommendation! It was expected that Governor Hanly would send the appointment of Blakely to the senate for confirmation at the special session last fall, but it did not reach that body until yesterday. It was put to vote and the appointment was confirmed, all republic ans voting for it and all democrats voting against it. SENATE 10 HOUSE CAUCUS WEDNESDAY Will Get Together on the Selection of a United States Senator. TIMES BUREAU, AT THE STATE CAPITAL. Indianapolis, Ind., Jan. 9. Next Wednesday night the democrats of the senate ana oi tne nouse win - noia a Joint caucus and try to select a candi date lor united states senator on whom they all can unite and whom they can elect in the legislature. The call for the caucus was issued late yes terday afternoon, and was signed by Speaker Honan; . Senator Stotsenburg, joint caucus chairman; Senator Mcuuuougn or Anderson, debate caucus chairman; Representative Sweeney of Tell City, who was democratic caucus chairman during the special session; Representative Strickland of Greenfield, who presided at the democratic house caucus a the opening of this session; and Senator Kitsler of Log ansport, democratic floor leader in the senate. There are some who believe that at the caucus Wednesday night the nom inee for senator will be chosen on the first ballot and that he will be John W. Kern. There are many others who cannot see it that way. They say the caucus will be long drawn out and Kern will not win. And there you are. One thing is certain, or it looks that way at least, and that is that if Kern is not selected Slack will be. The Kern supporters are claiming thirty-five votes on the first ballot, but it is dif ficult to see where he is going to gtt them. He is more likely to have 28. That is not enough, as it takes 42 to nominate, so where will he get the rest? There has been a great' deal of talk lately about a combination being fixed up between the Kern forces and the Shively forces and there have been some things in the developments that made this look plausible. But if these two men have formed a combination they take a queer way of working It It is known that many of Kern's supporters in various parts of the state have all along advanced as one of their main argument that the democratic party owe Kern a debt of gratitude tor hiving been willing so often to become a candidate on the ticket when there was no possible chance for him to be elected- And this argument ha caught on. and has brought Kern some strength. But It Is known alsjo that Snlvely, en at least one occasion, accordingto a Kendalville paper, attacked, this argument and said that ympathy . anght not to elect a candidate, thus taking a direct poke at Kern.

SCHOOL BOY HERO SAVES GIRL'S LIFE

At the Risk of His Own He Snatched Her From Sure Death. HAPPENED OH CAR TRACKS Child Falls Across the Rails and Would Have Been Struck By Car But for Rescuer. (Special to The Times.) Indiana Harbor, Ind., Jan. 9. A nine year old hero resides in the Harbor and, strange to say, his name is not known. The little fellow really deserves a Car negie medal tor his bravery but was too modest to wait until his name could be learned ana to receive the thanks of the child whose life he saved. Five year old Jennie Radastovicz, whose parents reside near the corner of One Hundred and Thirty-seventh and Cedar streets, is the little girl whose life was spared by the prompt action of the unknown schoolboy. Jennie was saved from being crushed by the wheels of one of the South Shore line intercity cars about 8 o'clock yesterday morning. Passengers on the car were astonished to see the child walking on the tracks immediately in front of the car apparently paying little attention to its approach. Giving a hasty glance over her shoulder, the child saw how near thecar really was and attempted to run across the tracks. Her foot struck the farthest rail and she fell face downward in the middle of the tracks. The car is said to have been less than half a block away and run ning at such a speed that the motor man could not have possibly stopped in time to save the child's life. The hero of the day, whose fame may even outshine that of the heroes in the Alger productions, happened to be walking along Euclid avenue and saw the lit tie giri fall. Without stopping for an instant he rushed across the tracks and picking the child up with his en tire strength assisted her to the side of the road. After assuring himself that she was not hurt and watching her go safely on her war, the unknown lad continued walking toward the Harbor. So quickly was the act of heroism done that the passengers were awe struck as they thought of the danger in which the lad had placed himself. The car carried them almost two blocks beyond before the motorman stopped the car and by that time the lad was lost to sight. He is reported as havr ami

PABEMT IS ARRESTED

Gary Man Fails to Send Adopted Girl to School and Authorities Step in and Compel Him to Give Child an Accommodation. The first arrest of parents who refused to send their children to the public schools, in Gary, was made yesterday by Special Truant Officer Kay. Yesterday George Starkovitch was arrested by Officer Miller on a warrant sworn out by Truant Offtcer T. A. Muzzall of Crown Point, who was in Gary, for failure to send his adopted daughter to school as is required by law. Judge Townsley, before whom the case was tried, fined Starkovitch $5 and costs, amounting to $12.75. The girl was placed in charge of Proba tion Officer Muzzall, who will place her in a home where she will be properly cared for and educated. A number of other cases where parents have failed to keep their children in school were continued until Jan. 12 to ' give the persons charged a chance to send their children to school and escape arrest. Preliminary steps have also been taken to commit several incorrlgibles to the state reform school. The Gary school board's special officer has instructions to see that every child in Gary of school age is attending school properly. It is not the intention of the truant officer to make arrests by the wholesale, as he has a chance to do, but first warn the parents that their children must be kept in school or arrests will follow. From the fact that there are nearly 1,200 school children in Gary at the present time, the duties of Officer Kay have not been light, insomuch that he works among the children and parents of so many nationalities. The investigation among the foreigners has been conducted with the aid of an interpreter and Mr. Kay is to be congratulated on his efficient work. ing worn a brown suit and a red skating cap. The little girl's father is a saloonkeeper and was in Bast Chicago yesterday afternoon endeavoring to find some of the passengers on the car who could identify the heroic lad should he be found.

HUMAN BANK GETS SELMNTO JAIL Too Much "Red-Eye" of Gary Brand Proves Disastrous to Stranger.

Another one of those "human banks" that occasionally and in the police station was tried yesterday morning before Judge A. C. Huber and fined $12.10. The man had on his possession $200 in cash, valuable stock in the United States Steel Corporation, and a bank book with nearly $600 to his credit. The man was arrested for a common drunk. The only way in which this man looked any different than the common drunk was that he was uncommonly drunk, so much so, in fact, that it necessitated a wagon to haul him to the police station. He was found laying in back of a saloon with all that cash on his person and not one of "de gang" got wise. When the man was brought to the station he was searched by Officer Rambo, who found the bank book and $12.50 on his person. In the morning, however, the man was fined $12.10, so that he was evidently 5 cents short. This deficit he quickly made up, however, by pulling $175 out of one of his rear pockets. He then thanked the police for arresting him, and protecting his money. EDITION MAKES A HIT (Special to The Times.) East Chicago, Ind., Jan. 9. "The commercial edition of The Times yes terday," said a local business man last evening, "is the finest example of newspaper work that has ever been issued in Lake county and should reap innumerable benefits for its advertisers." This is but a single Instance of the praise which The Times extra twenty-page edition is receiving throughout this city and the Harbor. Copies were bought by persons who had never before perused the papers of the popular Lake county daily and the distributors found that they had ordered too few papers to supply the demand. Nassau and Thompson in this city received a consignment of 600 paper and at 7:30 o'clock their shelves were bart. The demand had been persistent ever since 4 o'clock, when news of the excellent edition first reached the street. William Cooksey reports the distribution of 325 copies in Indiana Harbor alone. In that city also the paper met with commendation from every source.
