YVILLE COMTil TIES PUCE TOM AT HUEI'S
The convention of the water party of BoyviUo will meet at Huehn'e hall at 7 o'clock tonight for the nomination of candidate for mayor, clerk, treasurer and the other elective offices. All of the boys belonging to the water party will be admitted, and the parents ard friends of the boys are invited to b: present to witness the nominations. There will be political speeches by the candidates, and those who are interested in the campaign. It is expected that the first convention will be an Interesting one, and the excitement among the boys has already reached the fever stage. The canJidates for the of fie of mayor on the water ticket are Klliott Conroy and Arthur Findling. Both of these boy have been campaigning with might and main during the past week and the convention will be the culmination of the first ante-convention fight in the history of Hammond's boyville. Make a Hot Fight. Elliott Ccnroy has made a spectacular fight for the nomination! On last Saturday his cohorts rigged up a kite, to which was attached a banner bearing the rams of Conroy and the admonition to vote for him. Conroy has as his campaign manager a boy by the name of Craft, who is planning his campaign along the gumshoe lines. Craft advised Conroy not to mako too much noise, but to get out and line up the vote.
Craft is a quiet fellow, but he is a natural politician. He and Conroy go from school to school and find out how the sentiment is, and when they find a Flndllng man they go after him in an effort to convert him. All of the schemes And plans that are used in the big campaigns, excepting the dishonest ones, are used by the candidates in their efforts to line up the vote. FlndllnK Working Hard. Arthur Findling, on the other hand, is working hard to secure the nomination. He haa made many speeches and he is doing all in his power to line up the vote in the various schools and see that they stay lined up. , Findling has lots of friends, and they are working during all of their spare hours in his interests. While both of
the boys are anxious to be nominated
and are doing all they can to further
their interests they are both prepared to show that they can take a defeat
gracefully if they are defeated.
It is said that some of the citisens of
boyville are ready to show some of thk
older politicians a thing or two about how to take a defeat. As soon as the candidate for mayor on the water tick
et is nominated it Is understood that the other candidate has promised to nitch in and see that his ticket is
elected. The convention at Huehn's hall to
night is full of possibilities and will
probably be attended by a large num ber of the citizens of boyville.

Mrs. Van Home was formerly Miss Laura Winslow, one of Whiting's most popular young ladies. She had the distinction of being the first postmistress in the Indiana Harbor postoffice, under Postmaster Gilbert. It was while In the pursuit of these duties that she met Attorney Van Home, who had his office in the same building.

Col. L. T. Meyer has returned from his great hunting trip in the Canada woods with a. record-breaking supply of game and having had the best time he ever had on any of his hunting expeditions. The editor of Tub Times Is willing to testify as to the success cf the trip, as a brace of partridge from the colonel's bag will testify.
Sent to Reform School. Left to himself, his parents evidently not caring what becomes of him, Frank Gaughan, a schoolboy from Whiting, was taken in charge by Truant Officer Stanford this morning. The boy will be taken before Judge McMahan of the circuit court at Crown Point, who will sit as a juvenile court. The evidence against the boy is such that is sending to the reform school would be warranted, and this action will probably be taken. The boy haa been very delinquent in his school attendance and is otherwise getting into bad ways, and consequently the truant officer had to take charge of him.

Indiana Harbor. Ind., Nov. 15. The
death of Mrs. Alllard B. Van Home,
wife of Attorney Van llorne, S506 Fir
street, Indiana Harbor, occurred last night at St. Bernard's hospital in Chicago. The news of the death of this popular young woman was soon heard of in Indiana Harbor and Whiting and indeed caused sadness in many a home, for few were as popular as Mrs. A'an Home. About four weeks ago a little daughter was b'rn to Mr. and Mrs. A'an Home. About two weeks later the mother was the victim of a severe case of typhoid fever, which she, In her weakened condition struggled against, but to no avail. A trained nue was secured, but upon the advice of ptiysi-
TIMES BUREAU,
AT STATE CAPITAL
Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 15. Governor
Marshall has during the past week been
besieged by scores of persons who wish
to enter the state soldiers' home at Lafayette, and he has been making an investigation of the conditions, not only at that institution but at all of the other state institutions, with the result
that some changes are about to be made.
Scores of letters have been received
lately by the governor from persons who say they are entitled to admission to the soldiers' home, but when they
make application they are informed
that the home is full and that no more
inmates can be accommodated. Many
of the letters complained of this con
dition, ana It was as a result of these complaints that the governor looked
into things.
It is said that the governor has found that there are many men and women at the state soldiers' home who
should be taken care of outside. Num
erous cases were found, it is said
where the man or the woman was well
able to take care of himself or herself.
A number of them were found who have property enough to keep them. Others were .found who draw large pensions from the government large enough to provide for their maintenance but the
state is keeping them. It is said that
one man was found there who owns
16,000 worth of property, and yet the state is keeping him at the home. Other cases were found of persons whose fam
ilies are well able to support them.
Governor Marshall is going to insist
that these persons be weeded out of the home If possible in order to make room for the many other in the state who are really needy and should be
taken care of by the state. Under the law, when a person becomes an inmate of the state soldiers' home he may remain there for life, but the plan of the governor is to have as many as possible of those who are able to take care of themselves to take a long leave of absence, thus making It possible to take In the needy ones. As a result of this investigation It Is said that the governor mMII Instruct the boards of trustees of all of the other state benevolent institutions to look into their conditions along the same lines. He wants them to find out
if there are any inmates In their institutions who are financially able to care for themselves, or whose families are able to take care of them. He believes the state should not be compelled to support persons who are able to support themselves, or whose fam
ilies are able to relieve the state of this expense. The order hag not yet been Issued, but It will be soon, so It is understood, and it will apply ta the various homes in the state.

(Special to The Timks.) j Indiana Harbor, Nov. 15. One of the
most successful functions that ever took place in Indiana Harbor was the
banquet and house warming given by the Commercial club of Indiana Harbor and East Chicago last Saturday night. Owing to a lack of cuisine facilities, the banquet was given at the South Bay hotel. At 7 o'clock the club members began to arrive at the hotel and were Informally presented to the guests of honor. Congressman E. D. Crumpacker, Judges Belter and McMahan and President AV. G. Paxton of the Hammond Business Men's association, by President A. G. Lundquist and the members of the reception committee. At 7:30 the banquet was announced and all filed Into the dining room, where covers were laid for one hundred. The tables were placed to form three sides of an oblong, the upper short side being the table of honor, at which were seated Congressman E. D. Crumpacker, Judge Reiter, Judge McMahan, President AV. G. Paxton. Mayor DeBraie,
Mayor-Elect A. G. Schlleker. C. A. AVestberg. George AA". Lewis, Judge T. M. C. Hembroff. AA'. C. Dickey and ProTessor C. P. Holvay. The banquet which consisted of six courses, left nothing for the most critical epicure to desire, was perfectly served, eliciting many compliments for the hotel management.
After the diners had satisfied the Inner man they repaired to the club rooms to be treated to an intellectual feast. Mr. George AA". Lewis was the first speaker. President Lundquist, who presided, was called on and his subject was "Old Times In East Chicago." The selection of Mr. Iewis for this subject was a happy one, as there Is probably no one who is more familiar with the early history of East Chicago than he. or more capable of
puttin git before an audience In an Interesting manner. Ho related many amusing incidents of East Chicago's babyhood, and then gave some figures on the price of property at that time, which seem incredible to the later residents of the town. Professor C. P. Holway was then asked to slr.g the praises of Indiana Harbor, which he did to the perfect satisfaction of all present. The professor explained that
he was not a pioneer of Indiana Harbor, but he had heard and seen enough of the town's greatness to convince him It was a good enough place for him to stick to. After a musical selection by the orchestra. President Lindquist introduced Congressman Crumpacker. Mr. Crumpacker began his address by congrat
ulating the club on the elegance and completeness of Its quarters and the high class personnel of its membership. He gave them his Idea of the functions of such an organization and this vast amount of good it was possible for the club to accomplish, not only In a commercial way, but as an upbuilder of the right kind of home life the residents of a progressive city should foster. He said that while it was laudable to encourage and make every effort to obtain new factories for the Twin
Cities, it was equally important that
It make the city's educational, as well
as its police and municipal systems, of
as high an order as possible. Mr. Crumpacker was eloquent in his advo
cacy of harmony between the two
towns and compared them to the
Siamese towns, who he. while bound Ir
revocably together, never permitted jealousy or brickerings to mar the even tenor of their life, and so suggested that the Twin Cities go and do likewise. In speaking of the commer
cial advantages of the two cities the
congressman was more than enthusi
astic, and said that while he had known something of the possibilities of East Chicago and Indiana Harbor,
their real value had never been so for
cibly brought home to him as it had
during his visits to the various plants
the canal and the outer harbor during
the day.
Mr. Crumpacker was wildly cheered
when he announced that he believed a
general river and harbor bill would be Introduced in congress at the coming session, and that he would work tooth and nail for an initial appropriation for the improvement of the outer har
bor and felt sure he would be success
ful. He pointed out that fpr a city to
be a leader commercially, low transpor
tatlon rates was a paramount neces
sity, and the best way to get the best freight rates was through water and rail competition. The canal when completed and other waterways which he mentioned would accomplish this result and he promised to use his best efforts to put these plans Into execution. Mr. Crtimpacker's speech throughout was interrupted by applause, and there was no doubt of the enthusiasm with which it was received. Judge Reiter followed, and amongst other things he said, was advice to all unmarried members of the club to go and get spliced just as soon as possible. He Insisted that married men make the best citizens, hence the advice. Judge McMahan was the next
speaker and amused the audience by telling his hearers that while East Chicago and Indiana Harbor had their factories, his home town of Crown Point, had one thing they didn't have.
and that was a county jail, and when the members of the club got loaded up with everything they wanted, they could come to his town and he would unload them in jail. Mr. AA'. G. Paxton was then called and told some things about Hammond, but also paid the Commercial club some very pretty compliments. Mr. G. J. Bader of Whiting then made a few remarks, after which Mr. AA'. C. Dickey was called on and told of his unswerving faith, a3 had Mr. Bader in the ultimate supremacy of the Calumet district and East Chicago and Indiana Harbor In particular. Through the compliments of AA'alker and P.arnett, the grocers, the club
