BECKER MAKES

HIS CONFESSION CConttnued from Page l. . their value. The Times never pretended to more than estimate, or approxtate. the value of Becker's holdings.

And He Fell For It. 1KT THE VOTER NOTE THAT It is a well known fact that Becker , HOTCHKISS WAS SO VERY GRATEls a clever schemer, a crafty politician ' FUL TO BECKER FOR SOME REAand a fairly wide-awake man, but he SAN THAT HE LOANED HIM J1.000 has his weaknesses. It was reasoned ON HIS OWN NOTE WHEN BECKER that if Becker's holdings, as many as WOULD HAVE THE PEOPLE OF could be discovered, were published day ' HAMMOND BELIEVE THAT, WITH after day and a fairly high eBtlmata j HIS ASSETS OR ONLY 32.076.76, HE placed on them. Becker's wrath would OWES J25.528.35. get the best of his better judgment MR. VOTER. IF YOU WERE A BUSIand under the proddlngs ct his vlndic- ' NESS MAN. WOULD YOU AS A COLD tive organ he would tell the people of BUSINESS PROPOSITION LOAN BECKHammond what he really did own. ER J1.000 ON HIS OWN NOTE WHEN For a time it looked as If there HE OWES SO MUCH AND HAS SO would be no such luck, but Friday aft- LITTLE? WOULD YOU DO IT AS A ernoon Mayor Lawrence Becker walked COLD BUSINESS PROPOSITION?

AT 7 PR CENT IS $1,786.98. BECKNow a to Becker's affidavits he starts j ER'S SALARY S ONLY $1,200 A YEAR, out by showing that the property he j HE HAS A FAMILY TO SUPPORT, now owns costs him only $32,076.76. II j AND, IN VIEW OF THE FACT THAT doe n tell the srood people Ham- j BUT LITTLE OF THIS PROPERTY IS mond what that property la now -worth. J INCOME BEARING, HOW IN THE Wow Firarea Lie. NAME OF THE POWERS THAT BE.

For Instance, he admits owning 240 shares in the Becker-Tapper Realty company and he paid for them $6,463.20. He says he did own 290 shares, the number Thb Times claimed ha owned, but sold fifty of them. Thb TisiEa has positive information that wrxn Oostlln, Meyn & Co. let , Becker and Tapper in on the purchase of the acreage now owned by the Becker-Tapper Realty company, they bought it for $400 an acre. At a conservative figure this land la now worth 12.200 an acre, or three times s much M tt itu when It waa purcbaaed. This means that the $6,463.20. which Beck- ' admits he put into this property, has now grown to $19,389.60, nearly I20JOTO. Ia , Merely . One Inetance. TW is merely- one instance, and it I hw hat been as fortunate in his other; investments it is easy to see that the jaSvOTS.Te, which Mayor Becker admits ha natd for his interests, has now EA&ctawVthree times as much, the grand total at $96,230.23. This is Just a little lees than Thb Tijces estimated Becker loftier worth. JEDTD YOU, BECKER DOES NOT sarEATt That he is worth only WrTfc76. HE HAS SIMPLY MADE AFFIDAVIT TO HIS STATEMENT THAT HE PAID $32,076.76 FOR HIS HOLDINGS. AND IT IS APPARENT Tp EVERYONE THAT IF HE HAS BJEEN AS LUCKY IN HIS OTHER IN.VESTMENTS AS HE HAS BEEN IN THB BECKER -TAPPER REALTY CO. STOCK HE IS-TODAY A RICH MAN. Foxnets Increase In VaJne. cMrt)03r how hard Becker has fallen for tWa little game. He takes what, hettadmlta. is the COST PRICE OF HIS rSJVESTMENTSC forgets all about any lxciaae In value they may have had lx the past six years, or since he acifrre3 them, and then compares this flguie. $32,075.78, with hia liabilities, 3&.iS2&.S5, and says, in effect to the voter, "Behold. WHAT A POOR MAN I ASH THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WITAT I PAID- AND WHAT I OWE IS ONLY SrS48;41. Aocoading to Becker's argument, Seeker-Tapper Realty company is not worth a cent, more than it was when be) bought ..it three years ago for $400 an acre at'the sufferance of Gostlin-!SeyTw&-Co. And again Becker's estimate that he would be worth only $6,543.41 is equal to A statement that his house and lot are not worth- any more now than when he bought it; that the 4S3 acres of .Montana land, which he claims he bought at $3 an acre, is worth no more now than when he bought it; that his farm in Porter county, for which he ad- i mits ho paid $8, 860.50. has not increased in value since he bought It, and since the hot air line people, who own the Gary & Interurban line, will build their Chicago to New York line past it; that the $1,000 worth of the First Calumet Savings & Trust company's stock, which he got from Charles W. Hochkiss, is not worth any more than when he got it. Too Thin; Too TUIn. This veiled attempt to conceal his "wealth is too thin to fool the people of Hammond. They soe through it all, and best of all The Times has forced Becker to sign an affidavit that the story, in eflct as Thb Times printed it. is true. Too true to make his election possible now. And now we come to a graver and more Important feature of Becker's confession to The Times which his organ has so foolishly printed on the first lsge. LET THE VOTERS OF HAMMOND NOTE THAT BECKER GOT HIS CHANCE TO TREBLE THE VALUE OF HIS INVESTMENT IN THE BECKERTAPPER REALTY CO. THROUGH THE KINDNESS OF GOSTLIN, MEYN & CO., WHO LET HIM IN ON THE DEAL WHILE THE STANDARD STEEL CAR CO. WAS BEING LOCATED AND WHO ARE NOW WTH HIM IN THIS CAMPAIGN. LET THE VOTE FtS NOTE THAT C. W. HOCHKISS. WHOSE COMPANY. US YOU READ "The Beast and the Jungle," every drop of fighting blood in your makeup will tingle. Your indignation at the conditions exposed will be a'most lost in your admiration of Judge Lindsey's game, single-handed fight and your realization that he is performing a magniiicent public service.

DITCH REMONSTRANCE ILL BE HEARD The hearing of the remonstrance against the Burns' ditch will come up for hearing in the Porter county cir cuit court at Valparaiso tomorrow, Henry K. Steis of South Bend acting as special judge in the hearing. Last Saturday a party of fifteen en gineers and witnesses In the case headed by Randall W. Burns anti Attorney Frank B. Patee of Crown Point came to Oary in automobiles and tramped over about six miles of the territory acected by the construction of the construction of the big drain. Among the others of the party were. City Engineer A. P. Melton of Gary, Guy M. Stinchfleld of Valparaiso, county surveyor of Porter county, A. M. Turner of Hammond. R. M. Wilson, one of the drainage commissioner of Valparaiso, and Isham Randolph and George M. Wlsner, two engineer experts from Chicago. The purpose of the trip was to secure (to to which will be used in the hearing of the case tomorrow at Valparaiso. There are about fifty remolstrances which have been filed In the case which envolves some $450,000 in benefits and assessments. If the petitioners are successful in winning their case It will be the means of reclaiming thousands of acres of land which have for years been submerged by the waters of the Little Calumet. Both Side Well Represented. Attorneys F. B. Pattee and Randall W. Burns are appearing for the petitioners. The remonstrators ara represented by a largo number of attorneys of Hammond, Gary and Valparaiso and it is said the case will be hotly contested. The plan is to construct a dam in the river at a point east of Tolleston near Black Oak which Is the high point in the river between its source and the outlet. The ditch will then follow the course of the river to Its source. At a point near Dune Park a new channel will be cut from the river to Ivake Michigan and with the dam at Black Oak the water flow of the water from each direction will be reversed and the waters will be emptied into Lake Michigan at Dune Park. Attorney Frank B. Pattee in talking to a Times' representative last Saturday evening, said he had cause to believe that the remonstrance can be amicably settled. If this is the case the work on the big ditch will be started this fall. The work can be carried on all winter In the dltsrict about Gary on account of the sand. Of course the case may be appealed to higher courts and the work may be delayed for years. A VOTE FOR PETE DAVIS. Teter Invi nayn, "A vote for Becker I a vote for m.''

Towle's opera house will be busy this week. "Mandy Green," a rural comedy, is the offering tonight and it is said to be well worth seeing. The story involves the proverbial mortgage on the farm, and the prices are low, fifty cents being the extent to which the theatergoer will be asked to contribute. "The Girl That's All the Candy." which comes to Towle's next Tuesday, is a scream from start to finish. A most funy mixup starts at the rise of the curtain directly after the opening musical number, and the entanglement gradually grows worse until it seems next to impossible to ever unravel it. It presents comedy of every description. Dutch, Irish, blackface, tramp, old maid, soubrette, etc., and the mixup Is the funniest situation ever seen. You are bound to laugh, you can't help it. A good show for fat people. You will laugh at least ten pounds off your weight. Wednesday Itlll. The Washington Society Gfrls is the PROCEEDS FROM s (Special to The Times.) i East Chicago, Ind.. Oct. 25. Two thousand six hundred dollars is the sum thus far accounted for as the proceeds of the fair which from Wednesday until Saturday night inclusive was In progress -under the auspices of St. Mary's Catholic church. East Chicago. Two thousand two hundred dollars of this is net, and as fully $300 Is confidently expected to be reported when the results of the men's contest for the diamond ring are made known, the net proceeds will be raised to $3,000. Saturday was a great night for the fair. There was a splendid crowd present, the East Chicago politicians turning out en masse and spending liberally. When the results of the contests for the diamond rings were made known, the cheers and applause all but rent the building. These went far and away ahead of what was expected, the young ladles' ' contest, from which the least was expected, netting $S32. Interest in Kvrnt. There was great excitement between the friends of the rivals for the ring, as the voting was announced. Miss Bridget Gorman's chances for a time looked slim, as the voting went far ahead In favor of Mies Anna Flack. But Miss Gorman was game and in a last heroic effort to land the prize, got her friends lined up and inside of fifteen minutes had not only filled In the margain, hut far outstepped her friend the enemy, In the race. John McGaff, who is himself a contestant for honors In the men's contest, forgot about his own cause, and waded in to fight for Miss Gorman, and it was really his good work In behalf of the popular little Irish girl which counted in the final roundup.

fiOT SO VEBf SLOWfe

Has Eight Tickets in the Field Representing Thirteen Candidates SITUATION NEVER SO COMPLEX i Has! Due to Fact That Politics Been Eliminated From the Contest. (Special to Thb Time) Crown Point, Ind., Oct. 25. Possibly never in the history of Crown Point, or in the experience of Its voters, has as queer and complex ticket for town offices been placed before them for consideration, and more mutilated ballots are predicted than ever before owing to the long list of candidates, thirteen in all, running on eight different tickets and arranged so that only the well informed will be able to vote so that it will count. The tickets in question, bearing emblems never before seen at an election, are composed as follows: Citizens, Town, Crown Point, People's. People's Party, Liberal, In dependent Republicans, and Independent ticket, and four names is the highest number of candidates running on any one ticket. The great number of tickets Is attributed to the fact that politics has been nearly entirely eliminated from the contest, no primaries or conventions were held and each candidate ran trusting to his own strength than have his chances possibly injured by a combination with other candidates. Only one polling place, the town hall, will be used, and as some 600 voters will have to wrestle with the ticket, which will take considerably more time to .vote than ordinarily, it behooves the voters to get to the polls early in order to register hla vote.
