Considerable consternation was caused In the ranks of the Knotts' followers last evening when an anonymous little circular appeared on Broadway and at the scene of the Knotts' meeting, the Cozy theater.

HE IS WELL
GIRL TELLS GREAT STORY
The pitiful wails of two small girls, whose voices cried out In the stillness of the night asking for protection against -obbers and murderers. last night lor a time caused, intense excitement on Tyler street and at the tlary police station. The first word of the threatened
tragedy came to the police station from Rec. Francis Jensen, who telephoned asking that police be sent to his neighborhood at once to inquire as to the cause for the heart-rending cries. Soon other calls were sent to the polio station, and Sergeant Dowllng at once despatched two officers. They had little trouble in finding the place, lor they saw two little girls, 10 and 1?
years old respectively, sitting in thet
window of the second story of their home and crying . as though their hearts would break. They were afraid, being alone in the house. Their father, William Currey, is employed on the night shift In the mills, and the mother had gone to sit with a sick, friend. The girls promised her that they would not be afraid, but when they awoke about 3:30 this morning they imagined
they heard robbers, burgars, cutthroats, wildcats, panthers and what not running around the ho:se. They were afraid to tuck their hida under the covers for fea rthat theyicould not see tho things come and kilthem, so they decided the best thing twdo would be to sit in thq window ar.i cry for
help.

LEWIS SPEAKER
TAGGART SAYS
Second Ward Club Will Give a Dance in Assembly Hall This Evening.
(Special to The Times.)
East Chicago Xnd., Aug. 12. There
is. considerable speculation as to who
will be appointed to serve on the 11-
orary Doara, now tnat tne assurance of a public library has made necessary
the establishment of such a body.
The court has the appointing of three members, the city council two and the board of education two. and while little has been said concerning individ
uals who will constitute the board, it Is understood that there are to be three women appointees, and that the East Chicago Reading club will be repre
sented In the membership. Incidentally, as Indiana Harbor will come In
for its share in the library, it is un
derstood that tho Progress club will
seek representation on the board.
Wherever the subject is broached
one hears the names of Mrs. John D.
tvenneay mentionej ror tne nonor. as
representing the Tuesday Reading club
and Mrs. J. A. Patterson has a large voluntary following in the Harbor in
the interests of the Progress club
lioth of these ladies is president of her respective club, and Mrs. Patterson, as
well as being the chief executive of the
Progress club. Is an active and valued
member of the Tuesday Readln gclub
There are others whose names are men
tioned, but up to date these two would
seem to havj the lead. It is not known
wether either of thsee club women would accept the honor if it is tendered her, but if' their friends have any
thing to say, " they will not turn it
down.
The Gary plant of the Indiana Steel
company is to be benefited bv a deal
that has Just been closed between the Illinois Steel company and the Hammond Coal company of Geortrotown
wherein the former purchased 69,000 acres of coal rights. This makes the second large purchase by the United States Steel corporation within 'the last
few months and they now have coal fields enough to supply the two steel plants for many years.
The latter purchase near Georgetown
and Riola, III., were obtained in two
sections; 4.200 acres secured direct by purchase and options a short time ago and then within the last few days they
took over 2. ,00 acres of -coal rights from the Hammond Coal company. The Hammond company still holds options
on a large acreage and it has not been
decided yet what will be dona with that.
The farmers and other land owners
were busy last week in sleniner over
their rights to the Illinois Stee com
pany. The transfers were made to
Archibald Cummins, who acquired the large acreage of coal near Georgetown
and transferred it Thursday of last week to the Bunsen Coal company, subsidiary to the Illinois Steel company.
Well Provide dfor Future. The Hanvllle Press ' Democrat com
ments on tho purchase as follows:
"Ry acquiring this immense quan
tity of unmined coal, the Illinois Steel company is providing for its future fuel supply, and have enough to keep
their furnaces going for a long time. It is stated on good authority that the coal thus acquired Is not acquired for speculative purposes and that it will
be mined by the steel company as re
quired for its use. As this means that
the Illinois Steel - company will con
duct mining operations on a large scale in order to supply the Illlnofs
and Indiana plants with fuel, and that
its mine operations will not be affected by market prices or competition, it
will be seen that the acquirement of all this coal with the activities that will undoubtedly follow, wi be a big boon to Danville and vicinity. As the steel company's plants require
large quantities of coal the year around It means steady employment all the
time in the mines operated by it."
WITH
ilATION
Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 12. Tom Taggar, and Mayor Rose of Milwaukee dropped into town yesterday at almost the same minute. Rose came from Milwaukee and Taggart from Massacliuetts, where he had spent several weeks having a good time. The two men scarcely lit in town until people began to ask them about politics.
While Taggart was at the seashore
will return to a sane basis on the liquor question. Mayor Rose is the man who made himself famous a few months ago by taking the liquor side of the question in several debates which were given great publicity. "The county option law is bad," he said. "There is no reason why the people of one locality should decide what the people of another locality should do. People of different local-

Articles of Incorporation.
Discuss the Pains.
The directors of the Gary Commer
tal club met this morning in the of
fices of the Gary Land company for the purpose of discussing the plans of their new building with the various lo
cal architects who were present. The details of the new Commercial club
home were laid before the architects,
and they -were asked to prepare
sketches of the bulling. A meeting will be called at a later date, and ..these sketches will be submitted to the directors, at which time they will moke
a selection.
Articles of incorporation have been
filed in the office of the secretary of
state for the following:
The Vacuum Rait company. North
Manchester; capital stock, $5,000; to manufacture fish bait; incorporators, F. O. Howe, C. H. dinger and J. W. War-vel.
The Sportsman Publishing company.

and lobsters, and he caught some of
both, too. When he was asked for a statement in regard to the local political, situation and why he did not como
home in time to vote at the primary
election last week when democratic and
republican candidates for mayor were nominated. Taggart did not hesitate to
answer. On tne general political situ
ation he said: "Shark fishing is great sport. On one day we caught a shark that measured five feet ten and one-half inches, and weighed 1 4 S pounds. On that same day we caught five sharks and the smallest weighed thirty pounds. "Now. when you go out to catch sharks you don't want to go in a smali
boat for sharks are mean 'boogers' after you have hooked them. There were twelve or fifteen of us in the party when we went out after sharks and Gilbert Hurty, son of Dr. Hurty, secretary of the state board of health of Indiana, was In the party. He hauled in the largest shark." "What are sharks good for?" was asked. "For bait," replied Tilr. Taggart. "They are good for nothing but bait. l.ol.Mter FUhins Different. "Now, as to lobster fishing, that is
entirely different. You put down a small box. something like a chicken coop, with a partition in it. The lobster goes through the partition to get I the bait, but getting back through the hole is impossible. The plan is tin. I same as that used in catching mice
in the oid-tasnioned mouse trap. Mr. Taggart took an automobile trip along tile Massachuetts coast. "If you wart to blow yourself some time you ought to go up there," lie said. "There's where they have their million dollar residences with liveried
men at the gates to see to It that only i thosv with the- properly embossed cards get into- the grounds. "We passed through Beverly, the summer home of President Taft. The president was just arriving when we went through. I thought when lie came it was time for me to leave. Beverly is just a little railroad station, but the president has a line summer home." Mr. Taggart said he was well pleased
with the nomination of Charles A. Gauss, the democratic nominee for mayor. "I believe he will make a good candidate." he said. I shall support him, just as any democrat would." I know Mayor Rose very well." said Mr. Taggart. "We were mayors together at onme time." Mr. Taggart referred to the time when he was mayor of Indianapolis. Mayor Rose did not dispute the fact that Milwaukee is still famous. H declared also that the time is coming wiien the people all over the country
Ciood Iti'Kiilntlon Xeeiled. "Good regulation of the saloons is the thing that is needed. We have In Milwaukee about two thousand saloons. Last week we had a home-coming there and there were more people in the city than I ever saw there before. During the entire time we had only twenty-nine arrests for drunkenness.
Everything was orderly. Of course we
had good police protection. , "The county option law is unconsti
tutional. The state and not the county
is the unit of government and if pow
er is transferred it must be transfer
red to the smallest unit of government which is the township."
Mavor Rose is not a believer in the
present day primary election system, which, be says, is anything but a good one. The primary law in Wisconsin is particularly bad. he says, for several reasons. "In Wisconsin." he said, "a voter can go In and get the ballots of all parties and then he votes the one he wishes. The result lias been that the candidates of one party have been nominated largely by the voters of another party. One party can nominate any
kind of candidate it wishes for the other party. Why I.nw I Oh jeel lonahle. "The law is objectionable, too, because every candidate in his campaign for the nomination must build up ills organization and spend a. great deal of money and then if he is defeated his organization amounts to nothing. The
campaign for the nominations stirs up strife between the candidates and it is often hard to heal the breaches in time for the campaign for election." Mr. Rose said he hard heard a great
deal of talk about the tariff bill in his state. Some of the opinions had been favorable and some unfavorable. "The tariff is a local question." lie declared. "I none section if th-y get a tariff on lumber they don't are anything about the tariff on anything else." In explaining that he was in Indianapolis on legal business Mr. Rose said that he was trying to make a living practicing law. "The mayor's salary," he said, "is about enough for cigar money."
While the Gary independent demo- '
cratic party was being organized in the
"Patch" last evening, the regular dem
ocrats met in Committeeman Houren's
office and made arrangements for a love feast and picnic to be held Sunday, Aug. 29. The affair will take place in the grove at the end of the Tolleston branch of the Gary & Interurban line.

Other noted democrats will be invited and Governor Marshall will be. the reciepient of an invitation. A". C. Crolius will also talk and he is making arrangements to bring the best orators obtainable. Give n Dnnce Tonight. The meeting was attended by the officers of the First, Second, Third, South End, Young Men's and Gary Democratic clubs.

O'Connor, Town Chairman Corbett, Committeeman McCaffrey, Secretary Houren, Harry Moose, Tolby, Mutlin, Rraddork. Attorney Pernett, Carberry and others.
