President of United Hungarian Societies of U. S. Will Arrive From New York Thursday to Address Political Gathering.
Dr. Linger of New York City, president of the United Hungarian Societies of the United States, will arrive in Gary Thursday afternoon, and in the evening he will hold the most largely attended meeting of the campaign, where he will speak in the interests of John A. Prennan, candidate for mayor. This will rrobably be the most important event which the Hungarians r.f Gary have ever enjoyed, and the leaders have become enthusiastic over the meeting, which they believe will be the biggest which has been held in Gary during the recent campaign. Pr. Linger is or.e of the most distinguished Hungarians in the United States today. resides being president of the United Societies ha is a wcilknown editor and writer of Hu::raiia-.i affairs, a prn-u ;,.:ent lawyer and prcs -dent of the Hungarian Republican club of New York City.

KING OF BOYVILLE 111 EAST CHICAGO
Addresses Two Gatherings ings in the Interests of Eising Generations.
Lull Which Precedes Storm

Be Fierce and Exciting
Roumanians Meet.
(Special to The Times.) Kast Chicago, Oct. 11. Mr. Charles R. Hahn, -the King of Boyville," entertained about one hundred boys at the Methodist church last evening at 6 o'clock with a stereoptican lecture. Mr. Hahn, who is assistant director of the boys' city at Charlexiox, told his enthusiastic young listeners of the life, habits and rules of the city governed by the juveniles. With his stereojiticon apparatus he showed them pictures of the tents, equipments, city
officials and the boys at work on their
various tasks. As has been the case with Mr. Hahn
elsewhere, he held his youthful audience in rapt attention throughout and
the boys left the church discussing the
lecture in enhusiastic terms. Kvenlnd Seion For Men.
At 7:30 in the evening Mr. Hahn addressed the adults, telling them of his experiences with boys in juvenile
courts, and out of them and explain
ing what a busy chap the normal boy is. He told them that if the boy was not busy at something worth while, he was bound to be Into some mischief.
He deprecated the laxity of the average parent in looking to the welfare
of the children and deplored the equanl
mity with which they permit their sons
i to stand around on the corners.
The speaker said that the police of the large cities declare that the corner
habit is the worst menace of all to
the morals of young men and boys. Probably the most surprising state
ment which Mr. Hahn made was that
the statistics of the various reform
schools show that 80 per cent of the
boy imates come from well-to-do and
respectable parents and that the other
20 per cent comes from boys who have
had no one 'to look after them. He
said that boys were naturally religious
and that all they needed was the prop
it encouragement along the right lines.

WHY TAKE A CHICAGO PAPER
FOR SPORTING EVENTS r TWKY DON'T GIVE TOC LAKE COIT.VTT
JVn.VTS. THE TIMES DOES, AND
.Lfc OTHERS AS WELL.
It is ' believed that the lull which
precedes the storm of a political cam
paign has about passed and that the various candidates engaged in the Gary controversy will begin active work this
week. During the past week, except for the republican primary on Monday,
there has been little political activity
except for a few meetings mostly of
minor importance. "
It is believed that the dance given
by the Young Men's First Ward Re
publican club -will probably be the means of fanning the smoldering flame
and from that time forward until elec
tion day It will be fierce and excit ing. At this dance all of the republi
can candidates will be present and give talks to the assemblage, probably be
tween several of the dances. Much
interest has been taken In this event
by the young men of the city especially
and by the way the have been working
for the success of the event a great
crowd should be present.
Saturda night a republican meeting
was held in Petrovic's hall, 1327 Wash
ington street, where the Roumanians
of the city gathered to hear the repub
Iican candidates for office. The hall was packed to the doors and long before
the meeting opened no standing room was left. John Brennan, the republi
can candidate for mayor, and a num
ber of other candidates for office addressed the gathering and were heart
ily cheered.
Many of the meeting of various na
tionalities have been booked for the
south end later in the week, which will
open the campaign In that section of
the city.
DAIRY HANDS
(Special to The Times.) East Chicago, Ind., Oct. 11. The city
stables In East Chicago bear the ap
pearance these days of a flourishing milk dairy. During the past few clays
no less than seventeen cows have been
stabled there, all of them picked up by the police and driven to the city hall grounds to be taken care of. Incidentally two fines have been administered
against owners of the cows and war
rants are out for the balance of the Infringers of the ordinance forbidding the free ranging c-f stock within the city limits.
A part of the time all of the seven
teen cows were in the stable together
and everybody available, including the
firemen and some of the police officers, had to be pressed Into service to milk the animals.
There has been more or less good-
natured grumbling among the boys in
blue about their unaccustomed job, but
they have gotten more or less sport out of the occupation after all and all the milk they could drink.
The condition is the result of a cam
paign entered into by Mayor De Briae and Chief of Police Higgins for the
purpose of abating the nuisance, whereby cows and horses are allowed to roam
at will over the lawns and In gardens
of citizens in all localities. The owners wrho were fined by Mayor De Briae are Peter Oswego, of 144th street and Olcott avenue, and John Repko. of 143rd street. The fee charged for getting; the cows out of pound is $1 and the fine and costs amounted to $11.50, making a total of $12.50 which It will hereafter cost owners of animals allowed to roam the streets. The campaign against offenders will be prosecuted with the utmost vigor and no one will be allowed to escape. Some of the cows impounded were found to have come clear from Whiting.

W. A. MAXWELL IS ILL
Chief Dispatcher for E. J &
E. Suffering From Spinal Meningitis.
The many friends of William A.
Maxwell, chief dispatcher for the E. .T.
& E. railroad, with headquarters at the Kirk hotel, will be grieved to learn of his serious condition due to an attack of cerebro fpinal meningitis, which occurred Friday and frm which he has been sinking rapidly since that time. Dr. T. R. Templin. who has been attending him. last night injected the recently invented Flexner's serum into the patient, and it is believed through this wonderful remedy, which was invented in the Rockefeller institute in New York, that Mr. Maxwell has a chance for recovery. The train dispatcher is one of the most popular of the officials of the E. J. & E. railroad, and his condition is beins watched closely by his friends. Having lived in this city for three years, he is also well known among other residents of the city. Today is expected t ) be the crucial one in his condition, and his friends are anxiously awaiting news of the outcome of t lie treatment. Mr. Maxwell resides with his family at 4 1 S Harrison street.
WILL WE! GERMAN I E. CONFERENCE
(Special to The Times.) Indiana Harbor, Ind., Oct. 11. The Pennsylvania railroad's new bascule bridge across the nal was raised for the first time last Saturday. The road has had considerable trouble with this
bridge since its completion, a number
of previous attempts to raise it hav
ing proved ineffectual. The officials were afraid the bridge was too close
to the abuttment. so some of the concrete was cut away on one side. The bridge was raised for the first
time in the morning and the pile driver belonging to the Great Lakes Dredge & Dock company attempted to pass
through, but there were a number of piles driven underneath the bridge which were not deep enough to permit
the pile driver to pass over.
The craft was then partially dismantled, which lightened her sufficiently to allow her to pass over the sunken piles, and in the afternoon the bridge was raised again and she passed through and went to work re-inforcing the abuttments on the opposite side of the bridge. Just as soon as the big sand sucker dredge, which is at work near the Lake Shore bridge, completes her job there she will be brought through and down the canal to the Terminal tracks. This Is expected to occur early this week.
FRC1 RAGE?
(Special to The Times.) East Chicago, Oct- 11. The latest development in the political situation in East Chicago seems to be the withdrawal of Mike Sicora from the race for the mayoralty. This has not been confirmed, but a well-defined rumor to that effect has been circulated today and yesterday. Mr. Sicora gave It out last week that h6 was out for the office of chief executive, and it was allaged that he had said he was out to beat Joe Wlekllnski. It was thought at that time that his candidacy would ' have' he effect of injuring Wlekllnskl, and helping Schlieker. Developments have proved, however, that the contrary would be the
case. Sicora being a Slav, he would have little effect as a magnet to draw away from Wlekllnski's following which is strongest among the Poles. On the other hand Schileker has already a. strong following In Slavish circles and Sicora's candidacy would therefore take from Schlicker's strength In this element of the voting population. Whether or not this fact had anything to do with Sicora's withdrawal is only a matter of conjecture, but there is no doubt that if he has withdrawn, the effect wil! be beneficial to the regular republican ticket. Aa effort was made this morning to see Sicora, but he was not in his place
of business, so it was impossible to confirm the report that he has withdrawn.

"One's afraid and the other dassn't." Putting It briefly that is aoaut the position the two factions of the democratic party are in at the present time in regarl to the selection of their ticket for the battle at the polls Nov. 2. Overtures and compromises have been made and suggested by both sides in the past few days with no results other than to fan the flame of party disruption until it now seems to be carrying it down to certain defeat. The internal dissension of the party has placed both Crolius and Knotts on the skids, and with John A. Brennan behind with the solid republican party to give them a shove, both warriors should land at the bottom with an awful thud. Croliu Tries To Be Fair. Through all the strife, be it said, in fairness to Crolius he has characteristically suggested the squarest settlement of the dispute and his every proffer has been rejected by Knotts. The attempt of City Chairman H. E. Corbett to go into primaries like the republicans did for the naming of their ticket only plunged Knotts Into a deeper hole from which he was forced to squim out with the excuse veiled under the flmsy pretext of "what's the use, Crolius has no chance anyhow?" Every proposal for a fair settlement of the dispute has been made by Corbett. The nearest "His Majestv" would
Prompt action by Captain James Kerns of engine company No. 82 yesterday saved Special Policeman John D. Conway of the Chicago & Western Indiana railroad from lynching by a mob of Hungarians. Conway arrested .lwi lius Focolowski, 523 Xinety-secov,., street, South Chicago, in the yards on a charge of stealing wood from freight cars. His prisoner broke away. Conway drew his revolver anl fired, hitting the fugitive in the head. Focolowski ran as far aa Ninety-fifth street and the railroad and dropped. Conway dragged him to his feet and was trying to get him to a patrol, box when 300 of Focolowskl's countrymen from nearby Hungarian settlement attacked the policeman. Captain Kerns . and Tngineer Ritchie dragged policeman and prisoner into the engine house at Ninety-fifth street and Cottage Grove avenue and barred the doors. .
The infuriated mob sized some beams from the railroad yard and using these as battering rams began an onslaught on the engine house. A riot call was sent in to the Grand Crossing station, and while the police were hastening to the scene Kerns and Ritchie kept the mob out with a fire hose, which they threatened to turn on full force if the door battering was kept up. The mob, keeping a respectful distance, began throwing volleys of stones at the engine house and had gathered for a renewed concentrated rush on the doors when the patrol wagon with ten bluecoats drove up. At sight of the policemen the mob toolc
to its heels and scattered. No attempt was made to arrest any o the men.
TEARS OFF A WHEEL. (Special to The Times.) East Chicago, Ind.. Oct. 11. Whilo Joe Wegryzer, 3821 Cedar street, Indiana Harbor, was driving In the road leading from the canal bridge toward the Republic mill, his buggy collided with an ice wagon belonging to Schelander & Moss. The ice wagon was being driven by a man named M. Zeurick. One of the wheels of the buggy was torn loose as the result of the encounter and the buggy was otherwise damaged. The collision was wit
nessed by C. C. Smith.

Greenwald's net. Their names will not be known until the warrants for their arrest are served by the sheriff. It is understood that most of the indictments have been returned against the Gary saloon keepers who have refused to close their places of business even after the George H. leuel remonstrance became a fact. Mayor Knotts refuhed to prosecute t'ue?e saloon keep
ers and the grand jury was compelled-
to take action. It Is rumored that two of the Gary city officials have been indicted in connection with tlie exposures that were made recently by a man by the name of Caldwell, who alleged that these officials had received bribe money. The work of the grand jury ig not yet completed. It will continue its sessions this morning. and evidence against a number of other saloon keepers in Gary and other cities in the region will he laid before that body.
