THE TIMES.

TO GHOSE

II L U K

Th-e Gary Republican club will bold

its annual session this evening at the

Binzenhof hall, the scene of many historical political meeting In the past

and the principal business of the evening will be the selection of a president and leader for the next municipal cam

paign.

So far there have been no candidates

announced themselves for the position, the. reason being that most of thn re

publican of Gary are in a receptive

mooa, or not actual candidates, for a plum In the fall election. It is not to be presumed, however, that the- various rings have not made their selections for the office and are not ready to slide them through and have them seated before the other members of the party realize that an election is being held. Manlov Looks Like Winner. If such Is the case, the lucky one has not been mentioned. The opinion prevails that a strong effort will be made to re-elect George Manlove by his coterie. There seems to be no other one willing to take the job anyhow, so the one best bet up to the present time seems to be the latter. If there is any other strong republican in the city who would want the position all he wotild have to do would be to speak for it and the chances are he could land it.

It seems unlikely at the present time that the meeting will be characteristic of these republican squabbles of the early days when terrific fights were made by the republicans for positions such as these. A large crowd is expected to attend, however, and there may be some interesting developments. FIRE DESTROYS HOUSE East Chicago, April 12bh Fire which broke out last night tt 9:20, destroyed the residence of Steve Beh'orys on One Hundred and Fifty-first street near Kennedy avenue. Altthough the fire department went to the scene, it was unable to do anything because of lack of water. The structure was a one story frame building and was insured for 1200, by DeEriae and Son. It is a total loss. The furniture was also burned. It was, however, insured for J200.

TEACHERS ENJDY

MONTHLY INSTITUTE

St John Township Peda

gogues Gather at the County Seat. (Special to Thb Tiaras.) St. John, Ind., April 12. Teachers

from St. John. Center and Winfleld

townships gathered in Crown Point

last Saturday, for their seventh monthly Institute. This being the last one

of the year considerable interest was

taken by the teachers, and an excellent program had been prepared and carried out for the windup.

The program was as follows:

Opening Ercises Miss Mabel Wilson. Roll Call Quotations from the Bible. The School and Its Life Theo Hammer. History Comparative Discussions of the Articles of Confederation and the Constlutien Miss Cecilia Ludwig. Afternoon Session. Theory of the English Government Miss Mabel Wilson. School Revenues and Funds Georsre

Hassel. Songs Auld Lang Syne, America. In the absence of Superintendent F. F. Heighway, Professor George Hassel of Dyer presided as chairman. The teachers are now looking forward to an extra institute which has been arranged and which will be a departure from the routine session. The teachers were eiven thefr ohnin t

either spending the day at Sager's Lake; near Valparaiso, or visiting Gary. The majority preferred to go to Gary, realizing that the time could be spent far more profitably in a city which has the eyes of the world on it instead of spending the day at a little lake where only pleasure would be the only recompense.

i WEED OF TEMPORARY

BRIDGE

Contractor E. H. Crowell of Crown

oint, who has the contract fnr nn

ting in the bridge over the Calumet

ner on Broadway, was interviewed by a Times' reporter today in regard to providing a temporary bridtre over tha

Calumet river while the new bridge is

Deing constructed.

I will be ready to start work tear

ing out the old structure." said Mr

Crowell, "Just as soon as material for the foundations is on the ground. Thia

I think will be in about two weeks. Although I may start before that time, I see that certain papers in the coun

ty are making a big fuss over th

tearing out of the bridge and not rro.

viding a temporary structure. This

agitation is being done bv truck farm.

ers living south of the river and certain parties in Gar who like to hear themselves talk.

Great Cost to County. "To put in a temporary bride over

the 'Calumet river," he continued

'would be a great cost to the cnnntv

and would be impracticable for many

reasons. A bridge would have to he

put in that would be strontr enmie-h in

carry ordinary traffic would cost the county at least $4,000, if not more. Then again it is only a matter of a few weeks more after the bridge is torn out that the improvement of Smith

Broadway, from Hobart boulevard to

me itiage road, will ho rnmmnn

The graders will be on the ground and the road will be torn up from one end to the other. That is the

most of my material is being hauled on the grounds at the nrespnt. r nan

see very little use of the county spend

ing ?4,uoo ror a temporary bridge when both the roads and the bridtre will h

torn up Dracticallv at the sm tlmo

rendering the highway impassible."

As soon as the bridge is torn out the road will be closed at both the Hobart boulevard and the Ridge road entries, and will not be opened until it is completed. It is expected that, if the material is not delayed in reaching Gary, the bridge will be finished in three months after the first work starts.

Before a large crowd yesterday the Gary Catholic church was opened to the public. The building was not dedicated but was merely used by Father

stranger would not be able to know that the church was belnsr oecunU-rl fnr

the first time.

The building is located at Seventh

avenue and Tyler streets, and will

serve as a house of wnrnhln f.-r tvi-

Catholics until they are ready to build '

a larger addition to the building. It is one of the largest and best attcnlnt.

A STORY OF A SALE

TROUBLE

This house has been established in business for thirteen years It has always carried large, popular and attractive line. The buiness has been growing and we have prospered. This has been due to the fact that our goods and prices have appealed to horseowners and we have been sueccful in holding their trade, when once secured. succestui

When the panic struck the country, it found us loaded to the guards. This did not trouble us as we had a fat bank account.

FORHERCHAflTS

On Inspection Trip. E. E. Stacey, state secretary of tht Y. M. C. A. was in Gary Saturday in confrtnee with C. Oliver Holmes, the town clerk. Mr. Holmes says that as far h knows, there does not promise to be any immediate development in T. M. C. A. circles in Gary. Mr. Stacey camt to Gary from Gibson, where he inspected the local home.

Trouble is brewing for the Gary merchants who signed a compact last January in the Merchants' Association to the effect that they would keep their stores closed on Sunday. Few of the merchants especially those living on the south side, are said to have lived up to their agreement. Yesterday the association in order to gain evidence againet them sent a spy through the territory, who reported that he found many of the places open. The association has not yet decided just what steps it will take to make the merchants live up to their agreement although there Is some talk of taking action to the effect which would close up the whole town tighter than a drum.

Leaving the Old Home. "Alas, I fear that we shall lose the

old home place!" wept the Eskimo, as

the spring sun commenced to shine on his house. Stanford University Chap-
