FURY WREAKED BY APRIL GALE (Continued from Page One.)

Whiting at the time, and Adam Wilson, a resident of the town, were injured by fall-lng timbers. All of the electric lights were out and the city was plunged Into dark

ness. This morning the streets were

littered with debris and there were evidences of the storm on all sides. Hammond Escapes. In Hammond, the fury of the storm was not so great. Two windows in the Hub Clothing store were blown in, and the falling glass destroyed three show cases. There was also some damage by water. Signs were blown down and there were numerous cases where a small amount of damage was done. The area of greatest damage, however, seemed

to be in the vicinity of the lake. Flood Situation Bad.

The rains of last night added to the

danger in the flood situation along the

little Calumet river. The farmers along the river said yesterday that

there had already been enough 01 a

precipitation of water to cause a dang

erous flood when the ditches end creeks all pour their little floods trrto the

river.

Added to this was the almost con

stant rains of last night, and it is hard

to tell what will be the final result.

Of course, bo much of the lowlands are

now covered with water that a raise

of an inch in the helghth of the flood

means, that an enormous quantity of

water must be poured into the river.

Channel Too arrow.

The channel of the Little Calumet river, southwest of Hammond, is so

narrow that it is capable of delivering

only a very small amount of the flood

water that is poured into it. For this reason it will be several days or

weeks after the storm before the

marshes will be drained. It Is to rem

edy this defect that the promoters of the Burns ditch are planning to build the ditch from the headwaters of the

river to Lake Michigan. Trains Delayed.

The wind caused two trains on the

Lake Shore train to back up to the

place from whence they came. In the vicinity of Solvay a number of tele

graph poles were blown across the tracks, and both the train which is due

in Hammond at 5:50 and the one which

leaves Hammond at 6:2S were stop

ped.

They solved the problem of the

blockade by transferring their pas

sengers and backing up to the points

from which they came.

The terrific blow that struck Grand

Crossing was that of a wind with a

velocity of nearly ninety miles an hour,

and it raged ten minutes through the

district. One man was killed, two others are dying, many received less serious injuries, while at least twentyfive buildings and houfes were destroyed or damaged during the storm. Heavy rain and fire added to the terror of the residents of the storm-ridden district. The path of the cyclone extended along the lake shore from Hyde Park to ITegewisch. One Man Killed. The roof of a three-story extension of the Grand Crossing Tack company, Seventy-ninth and Stoney Island avenue, was hurled upon a one-story building, known as the "pickllnghouse," where fifteen men were eating supper. All were caught in the debris. Joseph Zcban of South Chicago was

killed instantly, Adam Zombowskl of

South Chicago was struck and his skull

fractured. Paul Sorzkonski, S907 Mackinac avenue, received internal In

juries which it is believed will prove

fatal. He was sent to the Washington Tark hospital. Eight other men re

ceived lesser injuries.

TIMES BIREAC, AT STATE CAPITA!Indianapolis, Ind., April 30. A wellknown republican who is way up in state politics said yesterday that at least three candidates for the republican nomination for governor are already looming up for 1912. They are James Bingham, attorney general; Charles W. Miller of Goshen, former attorney general and now United States district attorney; and John C. Blllheimer, auditor of state. While Billhelmer has not made any announcement that he is a candidate, there is good reason to believe that he has the bee in his bonnet. Many of his friends have talked to him on the subject, and although they have all been told that he is not a candidate yet they believe that the suggestion strikes a tender spot way down in his heart and that he will yet decide to get into tha race. Stood by Governor Hanly. Bingham stood by Governor Hanly through thick and thin during his

temperance and local option campaign, and gave him opinions on the law whenever the governor asked for them. He stood behind Hanly in the call for a special session of the legislature to pass the county option law and gave

all possible aid In effecting its passage. Since then he has encouraged

the holding of county option elections in the various counties of the state.

Only a few days before the recent elec

tion In Delaware county, in which

Bingham lives, he went to Muncie and

took a hand in the fight and helped

the drys. And it is pointed out by

Bingham's friends now that his help

was largely responsible for the over

whelming dry victory in that county

last Tuesday.

Of course, Bingham will not get

much support from the politicians of the party, because they want to keep

the liquor Question out of the next

campaign, but he is likely to get a

large following from the drys In the

party, and this will be a big factor in

the fight. The politicians are saying.

however, that he will not get enough

to win.

Miller a Good Lawyer.

Miller was a candidate for the nomi

nation last year and was defeated by James E. Watson. Then he was nominated for congress in the thirteenth dLstrict and was defeated at the elec

tion by Henry A. Barnhart of Ro

chester, democrat. He was appointed

United States district attorney a few

weeks ago by Senator Beveridge to

succeed Joseph B. Kealing, who re

signed rather than prosecute the own

er of the Indianapolis News on the charge of criminal libel in the Panama canal matter. Miller is a very able lawyer, and is a good enough politi

cian to have himself twice elected at

torney general and once nominated for

congress. He is one of the hardest

working Beveridge supporters the sen

ator has in Indiana, and he always has the Beveridge support. He was a good attorney general and left a fine record when he quit the office. Miller

has not made any public announce

ment that he will be a candidate for

governor, but the republican who was

talking yesterday said he knew. Mllle would be in the race. Watson, Expected to Enter Race.

Billhelmer is serving his second

term as auditor of state, and during his incumbency in the office he has

brought the office to a high degree o

efficiency. The business of the office

has increased wonderfully during hi

time, but he has been able to meet and

take care of everything that has com

along. Much new and important in

surance legislation has been enacted

and put into effect since he became au dltor, ad most of it is credited to hi

efforts. The Indiana insurance depart

ment ranks well up among the best in

the country.

Candidates for other state offices are not looming up very rapidly. Carl

Kiddlck or uinamac, secretary of the

republican state committee, is eaid to have his eye on the nomination for seeretar yof state, and there was some

talk of Dick Schaaf of Hammond as a candidate, but it is said now that he has landed the Hammond postofflce and that he will take charge of it next fall.

said Chief Hlgglns. "You are to blame for his crimes. Wrhat can you expect of a boy who has been kicked and cuffed about as your boy has, and kept out of school and allowed and even encouraged to steal. If the boy ever hangs, which is the fate that frequently comes to such as he, you will be directly responsible." The father protested that he had been unable to secure work. But Chief Hlggins would not listen to this, "You do not try," was his stern re

joinder, and now your eon is reaping the result of your laziness and worthlessness."

A '300 WATCH An old timer, and a good timer, presented itself to S. Silver the jeweler on Friday. It was made three centuries ago and was all out of fix. It had received hard usage, for the man who owned it had been unkind to it. It was a watch that few watchmakers would undertake to repair, but Mr. Silver, being an expert, located the trouble, took the commission and the owner went on his way rejoicing. No. 265 East State Street, near the Bijou Theatre, is the right place to get this class of work done, and done correctly.

FATHER IS ROUNDLY DENOUNCED BY POLICE

(Special to Thb Times.) East Chicago. April 30. John Czerwenski, father of Bruno Czerwenski, one of the boys thieves caught rob

bing the Cooper store in Indiana Harbor, who lives at One Hundred and Thirty-ninth and Adler streets, called at the city hall yesterday to see Chief Iliggins in behalf o fhls son. Had Czerwenski known the nature of the reception that awaited him, he would have gone further in the opposite direction. According to the police Czerwenski lias not worked for two years, but has depended on what Bruno could steal and what his little 7-year-old daughter could beg, for his living. It was when elder Czerwenski began to blame the othT children with whom Bruno associates for leading his son astray, that Chief Higgins opened up on him, ending his arraignment by threatening not only to see to it that young Czerwenski was put away In an institution until hf has reached his majority, but that the two girls, he one, the 7-year-old beggar, and the other a baby, aged two and one-half ytars, were taken from the father, "Your are the one who should be behind the bars Instead of your boy,"
