Commercial Club Directors of Gary 'Receive Word From President That He yill Be Unable to Stop Off in Gary While on Trip.
Pirrtors f" the Oary Commercial r! lib receivpd . word from President Taft's party this morning that the president would be unable to stop off at Gary for a few minutes to address the members of the Federated Commercial clubs, which will convene In Clary Thursday morning the time at which Taft passes through the city on his way to Chicago. The reason ascribed for his inability to stop off at Gary is that he must confine himself closely to his schedule and that he could not afford to delay even for a few minutes. This decision was really expected by the directors, although there really was some hope held out that the steel city could lure him to stop here for a few minutes at least. t'rnmpnrkrr Will Attend. It has also been determined that neither Governor Marshall nor Sena
tors Rcveridse or Shively will be able to attend the convention and have sent
in their regrets. Congressman Crum-
packer has, howeer, accepted the invltntlon and will make an address in
this city.
From the present prospects the num
ber In attendance at the convention at Gary this year will far outnumber those who held forth last year for the two days at Kichmond. Not only is the Federated club better organized this
year, but Gary itself is expected to prove .in additional attraction for the m-rr.bers of clubs throughout the state t utUl'-J. f our clubs have already accepted the inv!tr-.t:r,ns to attend. These are Hammond, Kckomo. Richmond and Blkhart. Oth.-r acceptances are expected in today. Although there were hut less than a hundred delegates at Richmond last year it is believed that the number will be over two hundred this year, and the local Commercial club is preparing to entertain that number. The members of the entertainment committee have arranged so that all of the delegates will have free transportation on the street cars during their stay in the city, as welt as a pass to all of the local theaters. Their badges will entitle them to these privileges. The banquet will be held in the llinzenhof hall. The convention will either be held in the Ifajestic theater or Assembly hall. One of the features of the entertainment which has been provided is an automobile trip about the city on
Thursday afternoon. Machines from all !
the local garages have been chartered for the occasion.

The owner of the new hotel will be George Baker, an Ohio capitalist, who was brought to this city by Gary real estate men and who plans to invest considerable mo-ey In the city. o Cafe In Connection. The hotel wil be more of a rooming house than a regular hotel and will be largely for the accommodation of men and their families who have found it impossible to secure houses to rent in the city and who desire the modern conveniences of hotel life. There will be twenty-four rooms besides seven baths in the building. There will be no cafe operated in connection with tho hotel. The size of the building will be 25x125. extending clear back t the alley between Washington street and Broadway. The first floor will be used

(Special to Thb Times.) East Chicago, Ind., Sept. 14. The council met in special session last night for the purpose of passing an ordinance dividing the various wards of East Chicago and Indiana Harbor Into voting precincts. The first ward was made one precinct, the second two, 149th street being the dividing line, with Olcott avenue separating them; the fourth one, the fifth one, the sixth two, and the seventh two. The dividing line in the sixth ward begins at the intersection of Deodar and 136th streets, thence on 136th to the Pennsylvania right of way and on the railroad to Cllne avenue. All the territory in the seventh ward lying north of the Pennsylvania railroad will constitute the first precinct, and everything south of that railroad will be the second precinct of the seventh. Although there was not a full mem
bership present last night, tne council was able to pass the ordinance on its
first presentation on account of it be
ing a special meeting for the purpose.
Kifmari Objection.
Mayor Pe Briae was of the opinion
that the third ward should be made into one precinct, and ventured the assertlo nthat the fourth had as many votters as the third and offered to bet a good cigar that such was the case. He also balked a little at the additional expense to the city in having two precincts, but Alderman Schock remarked that the city ought to be willing to spend a little money to obtain a good set of officials. Altogether the meeting was a nice, social little affair without a cross word being spoken, and was all over by 9 o'clock.
(Special to Thb Times.) East Chicago, Ind., .Sept. 14. Joe Molacowski, who boards with Mrs. Katie Hormovieh and her husband, One Hun
dred and Forty-ninth street and Magoun avenue, was arrested this morning with having made improper advances to his landlady. Hormovieh works at the Republic mill and the boarder is out of a job. The former left his home at 5 o'clock this morning, Malacowski accompanying him with the avowed intention of seeking work. He returned soon afterward, according to the allegations made by Mrs. Hormovieh, and immediately went to her room, where he proceeded to make passionate love to her. His advances wore indignantly re-
j pulsed, and Malacowski, according to
Airs. Hormovieh implored her not to
tell her husband of what had occurred.
The woman, however, decided to inform Hormovieh and, accordingly after
dressing, she started out with her baby to seek her husband at the mill. The result of the interview was the swearing out of a warrant for the boarder's arrest, but before this was
served Mrs. Hormovieh returned to her home. Here she found her boarder busily engaged in packing his belongings, peparatory to flight. Mrs. Hormovieh was not daunted at this, and locking the door and pocketing the key, she held her would-be lover a prisoner until an officer arrived and served the warrant. The prisoner was released under bonds of $100 and his case will be. heard next Friday.

KNIGHTS PLANNING BIG TIME
Beware Becoming Wet Blankets. The pessimist wears a face that looks as If it had gone through the wash-wringer. She casts spells of weariness, about and forecasts gloomy weather. We all have troubles enough to make us glum and wretched, but we also hare joys enough to make us cheerful. Why let the glum and the grouch get possession first? The Lord loves a cheerful giver of cheer. Let the wet blanket shake herself and dry up.
The Knights of Columbus of Gary are planning to have the biggest time since they moved into their new quarters, in the Feuer building, Sunday afternoon and evening, when they will initiate forty new members into the or
der, which already has a membership of over 100. making the total nearly 150. After the initiations Saturday afternoon a banquet has been arranged for at the Gary hotel, in which a hig feast has been provided for the members and guests. It is probable that the Gary lodge will put on the initiatory work. The Hammond. Michigan City, East Chicago and Whiting lodges have been invited to attend and probably there will be many guests of the K. C. lodge In Gary Sunday afternoon. The lodge rooms which have heen fitted up in the Feuer building and luxuriously furnished are regarded as the best in this part of the state, and the Gary men are very proud of them. Seats for two hundred have hen provided for at the Gary hotel for the banquet Sunday evening. The full program for the event will be arranged this evening at the business meeting which has heen called by President C. H. Maloney.
The Gary school children yesterday
assembled and received classification as
to grades in the various schools of the citv and school year was started, al
though no work was done in the way
of study or recitations. Mose of the students will resume their studies to
day after having been given an op portunity to secure their books yester day afternoon.
The students at the high school were given a reprieve from duty until
Thursday at which time they will be enabled to secure all of their books and equipment. It was found neces
sary to take a longer time for the high I school because of the uncertainty of the number that would be in attendance In the various years and it was not possible to order the books for them in advance. Ilonrd ftuys (he Bookn. The plan of the school board buying the books for the children has been inaugurated this year with great suc
cess. The students in the. intra ana fourth grades are charged a fee of 50 cents for the books during the year, in the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth year they are charged To cents, and the high school students are charged $1.23. These books are merely used by the students for the fee which they pay and are kept in the possession of the board. They will be used year after year by other pupils, thereby lessening the cost of the school books to the. parents. This method in a way supplants the free school book law which is in vogue in some states in the country. The books are purchased by the board at wholesale prices.

O'Hara, while Hugh Brown serves as secretary.
