HERE ARE FOUR IRE CANDIDATES

PliG JOB STATU QUO

First Tilt Between Town Board and Attorneys Representing Rival Contract- ; ors for Broadway Work Results in Nothing.

Lengthy Jury Trial Has Precedence Over it in the Valparaiso Court.

With the town board as a jury.

Town Attorney I L. Bombergrer as umpire, Judge John H. Gillett and Attorney A. P. Knotta representing the Peters Brothers Paving company and the Gary Construction company, respectively, fought out their cases last night in an effort to prove their rights to the contract for paving the big South Broadway Job between the Pennsylvania tracks and Twentylflfth street. The windup of the argument resulted In the decision of the parties in the controversy to rest their cases until absolute knowledge of who the resident freeholders along the Improved

property are, so as to determine the validity of the petitions for paving. If the Peters brothers' petition, asking for asptialtum. Is found to contain the signatures of a majority of freeholders, . the .Gary Construction company has stated that under no consideration would they accept a contract for a brick pavement. In the same manner if their petition is found not to have.' a majority, Mr. Peters stated last night that they would not consider a contract to pave It with asphalum. This position of the two companies is due to the fact that a contract, which would ultimately become Involved In litigation, would not le acceptable. Counter Petition Illegal. One other point which was argued last night, but which will not be material until the list of the freeholders

is definiately established, is the question of whether or not the freeholders on the west side of the street had a voice In the material to be used In the pavement of the east side of the street which Is to be improved. Judge Gillett maintained that the counter petition of the town board was not only filed too late, but he questioned the right of any of the signers of the original petition to withdraw in a case of this character. The person in whom he referred was Mrs. Van Dusen who signed both petitions. C. O. Holmes and Attorney J. F. Sawyer o( L. U Bomberger's office will go to Crown Point today where they will secure the list of freeholders residing on the part of Broadway which is to be improved.

Today Mike Binzen, George O'Donnell and their witnesses will go to Val

paraiso from Gary, where they will

appear before Judge II. B. Tuthill of

the superior court ready for the trial which will settle once and forever whether Gary Is to remain a dry tow'n

until the remonstrance expires In April

To a Times reporter last night Judge John H. Gillett, who is appearing for the saloon forces, stated that all of the witnesses together with himself, would

be on hand in Valparaiso today ready

for trial, although there was likelihood

that the case will not be reached today owing to a lengthy jury trial which Is

now being held in that court.

It may be possible that this trial will take the balance of the week and if it does the saloon cases will not come

to trial before the first of next week.

In regard to the possibility of the

cases not coming to a trial. Judge Gil

lett thought that the chances are about even that a .continuance cannot be secured, lie stated that he thought that there was no question but what appli

cation for a continuance would be made, and if so It will be fought to a

finish. All the liquor dealers ask Is

that the case come to an issue for trial

on its merits.

ESCHEWS POLITICS

AS A BODY

(Continued from Page One.)

Dies in HospitalJohn Toucis of Gary died last evening in the hospital of the Illinois Steel company. He was sweeping the floor in a room of the plant when he wn caught and crushed between a carrier car and a box. Immediately after the accident he was hurried to the ambulance car and taken to the hospital at South Chicago.

ADVERTISE AND 4GAIX ISTHE TIMES.

ADVKRTISq

tion to the effect that a ticket be nom

inated by the meeting.

Attorney Pattee and Herbert E. Jones objected to the motion as put before

th$ assembly, declaring that the of-

ncles of the organization should not be turned into political channels and

that nominations could not be made. A motion was made that a commit

tee of five with the chairman and sec

retary at the head, select a citizens'

ticket which would meet the approv

al and endorsement of the association

Dr. C. J. Tinkham made an amend ment to the motion, that the commit

tee be empowered to draft resolutions commending the present town officials on. their work. Harold II. Wheeler made another amendment to the motion that

the committee selected be named by

the chair, he serving as one and that

the five be represented by an equal representation of the political parties.

The motion and amendments was passed by the assembly and now five men as a committee, composed of John Brown, Claude Olenda, Peter Geisen, Otto J. Bruce and Charles J. Tinkham, are laboring to place a suitable citizens' ticket in the field. Whether the committee's selection of men will meet the approval of the entire town remains to be seen. It is hardly likely that if the committee was fortunate enough to secure real angels to serve, that the" entire population would be suited and same "boltting" Is very likely no matter what the selection of the committee is.

However, August Output Is

to Be Greatly Exceeded by That , of September, According to Reports, Owing to Increased Capacity.

During the month of August the In

diana Steel company In their rail mill

rolled over 40,000 tons of steel rails.

but It is thought that owing to the increased capacity of the mill the tonnage during the present month will

greatly exceed that of last.

Liberal rail contracts for 1910 de

livery have been placed by the leading

western railroads. The extent of the purchases is Indicated by the fact that the Illinois and Indiana steel plants have over 350,000 tons of rails booked for shipment next year. This is likely to be increased by the placing of additional important contracts. On Monday the Pennsylvania railroad alone placed an order for 200,336 tons of rails with the United States Steel corporation. The cost was $5,600,000, the price per ton being $28. In the midst of a market very active In all lines of. finished iron and steel.

particular Interest attaches to the

booking of rail contracts for 1910, which at present constitutes the most

conspicuous movement in new buying. The rapid filling up of mills on this as well as other products has emphasized the necessity of placing contracts well in advance of actual needs. Including new orders of considerable size secured last week by the Illinois Steel company, this interest has already entered 350,000 tons for 1910 delivery. From inquiries of like character now in the market from western roads it is assumed that further purchases of not less than 200,000 tons will soon be made. It is evident from the concern manifested by prominent shippers that serious inconvenience from delays in transportation Is likely to be encountered before long. The number of idle cars is steadily decreasing, and it Is estimated that of those included In the figures now reported a liberal percentage is unfit for actual service. In addition to the constantly increasing volume of merchandise to be moved, more cars will be needed to handle the enormous crops 3-et to be marketed. In view of the situation as It now appears, there is very likelihood of a car shortage within the next sixty days, which will, to a greater or less extent, interfere with the prompt movement of shipments.

Two Out of Town Guests Will Add Much Interest to the Occasion.

(Special to The Times.) East Chicago, Ind., Sept. 30. The Men's club of the Congregational church will hold the first meeting of the .coming season Tuesday evening, Oct. 5, at the residence of Albert Berquist on Magoun avenue. The Berquists expect to have Rev. Jones of Belvidere, III., who was formerly pastor of the Baptist church In Hammond, as theij- guest at that time and should he arrive he will be asked to address the club on the subject of his recent trip to England. Mrs. Laura D. Floyd, who was formerly principal of the McKlnley school but who is now connected with the Chicago schools, will also be present and give an address. Mrs. Floyd will tell the club members about her trip through the west which she made during the past summer, wlelling particularly on the Yukon-Alaska exposition at Seattle, Wash., which she saw thoroughly, . AH the members are requested to be present Tuesday evening and bring their wives or sweethearts, as the case may be. Programs for the first half

of the year will be sent out this week.

LULLS GRAFT SCANDAL Failure to Swear Out Warrant Checks Development in Caldwell Charge. The expected development in the graft charge made by L. Caldwell against certain employes of the city did not materialize yesterday owing to the fact that Trustee John E. Sears did not have the warrant issued for the accuser's arrest on the charge of bribing as he threatened at the south end republican meeting Tuesday night. When asked at the town beard meeting last night why this was not done and if he did not intend to follow up the plan to "see the matter to a finish", as he statted he would do that night, Mr. Sears said that he had intended to start the ball rolling, but was handicapped by the absence of Assistant Prosecuting Attorney W. F. Hodges, who is now out of the city. "As soon as he returns the warrant will be issued," said Trustee Sears last night. "I have not laid down in this

matter and if the charges are true some one will be sent to the penitentiary. The charges of graft among cityofficials has been frequent, but this Is the first instance where the charge has been made specific. AVe will now see that the accusation is verified by the evidence or disproved." While Trustee Sears is pledged by his statement to throw the search light on the alleged revelations. Caldwell, the "Frank brothers of Gary," is prepared, his friends say to make good on his charges and will be ready to appear in court any time he is called. It is believed then that startling developments may be expected as soon as the prosecutor returns and is prepared to take up the case.

HOWEVER THERE ABE CITIZENS

This Party, it h Understood, Is Now Already Framing Up a Ticket.

Four New Official Announcements and Another

Trembling on the Verge Is Gary Grist for TodayThree for Ald.-at-Large.

Three more official announcements alderman-at-large in Gary on the republican ticket, the probability of an

other one before the day is over, are two developments in the republican situation in Gary today. Henry A. Vossler, one of the bestknown real estate men In Gary, makes his official announcement In The Times today. He needs no Introduction to the people of Gary, his business-like record speaking for him. He Is not only the owner of the Majestic theater and the new Coliseum, but is also a large real estate dealer. He has never entered politics either In Gary or previous to his advent there, but promises to make a srood race. Hnbtogrer AJout to Announce. Frank Hubinger, another of the pioneer residents, has also ' announced himself for alderman-at-larg? on the republican ticket. Having been in Gary since the foundation of the city he has made a wide circle of friends. He is at present employed in the meat business for Title Brothers. With the probability of Frank Hublnger's announcement there will be five candidates for the office of alderman-at-large, the others being William McNeil, Paul J. Tomanoczy, Gustave Heart and Henry A. Vossler. It Is thought that there will be only two offices of alderman-at-large to be filled. Mitchell Duchich, one of the pioneer merchants on Fifth avenue In Gary, announces his candidacy on the republican ticket for ward alderman In The Times today. Duchich Is recognized as the king in Gary among the better class of Servians, and has a large following which Is strengthened by his connection with

the Foreign Exchange bank.

It goes without saying that a man

as strong as Duchich would help to

make the republican ticket in Gary a

strong on-

The republicans of East Gary held an interesting convention last night in which their ticket was selected for the municipal offices. Owing to the fact that there are scarcely any democrats in the town, like Miller and Tolleston. the uselesaness of putting a democratic ticket In the field has been forseen. anl the only oposltlon which the republicans will have will be a possible citizens' ticket, which It is. said is already being framed up. The regular republican ticket is as follows: Trustee, first ward John Papke. Second ward Charles Seldel. Third ward William Rich. Town clerk Henry T. Quinnell. Treasurer Conrad Fabian. , Marshal Harry Blake. The contest In the second ward was close and exciting. Both contestants, Seidel and Conrad Peterson, worked hard to land the plum, the former finally winning, 22 to 0. -Rich had a walkaway in the third, beating H. C. Larson 39 to 9. There was no contest for the offices of clerk and treasurer, and Blake was elected Marshal over John Ferry, his opponent, by 32 to 5. This ticket is regarded by many as so strong that it is improbable that the citizens will put a ticket in the field.

J. G.

HSCHBOPP IS A CANDIDATE

(Special to Tns Times.) Whiting, Sept., 30. Another candidate for alderman-at-large for this city on the republican ticket, has announced himself In the person of John G. Fis-

chrupp. Mr. Flsehrupp Is not altogether

new at the game of politics, having served one term In the city council, beginning in 1903. The ex-alderman is one of the highly respected citizens and business men of this community, having lived in Whiting for the past twenty-eight years, twenty of which were spent In business in the grocery line. Of late, however, Mr. Fischrupp has engaged in the plumbing business In which he is now interested. During his long residence in Whiting he has acquired a large acquaintance and many friends, all of whom will work in his behalf.

Rochester Men in Town. Gary was again Invaded by visitors today who will go out to sing lie

praises, the visitors being a score of

real estate and business men from

Rochester, Ind. The visitors are the guests of Young & Vossler, one of the leading real estate firms in Gary, and

the principal feature of the visit will be a trip through the mills.

The Rochester people have heard so much about Gary and Its possibilities

that they have decided to come up in a

body to see for themselves and. If pos

sible, to make some investments.

TO VISIT GARY PLANT.

The district sales managers of the

Carnegie Steel company and the Hli

nols Steel company will hold their

next quarterly meeting at Chicago, Oct.

13, and the Gary plant of the Indiana

Steel company will be visited. The Carnegie Steel company has de

cided to erect a second 22-ln. struc

tural mill in its steel works at Clair ton. Pa. This mill will roll beams, chan

nels and angles from 10 In. down. It

will be a duplicate of the present one

and is expected to be ready for opera

tion about Jan. 1, 1910. Contracts for

the mill, the engine and other equip ment have been placed. Many Tramps Out.

With the arrival of cold weather the police station at night is again besieged with tramps and floaters seeking lodging. Last night a large number were housed and the number will Increase with the severity of the weather. The highest number last winter given lodging was forty-eight, the capacity of the cell roombeing taxed at times to accommodate all of the lodgers. Ample quarters will be provided as soon as the department moves into

their new station.
