While Martin Findling. who is employed at the plant of the F. S. Beta Co., was walking d5wn the street with
a young lady friend last Saturday night he was called to one side by Leslie Vaughn who, it is alleged, assaulted him in the presence of the young lady and gave him a terrific beating. After the assault had taken place Findling was informed that he was charged with wiring the Palace of Sweets and that he had been beaten up for that reason. Findling was on the way to a public concert and was compelled to forego the pelasures that he had anticipated. He was taken to the office of Dr. H. C Groman where his injuries were dressed. When called up on the telephone today Findling stated that he had made arrangements to secure the services of
one of the best attorneys in the city and that the case would be prosecuted to the limit. Findling is the fourth man who claims to have been assaulted and beaten by the wrecking crew of the electrical workers. The others are Tom Burke, a man by the name of Schapp. and Harry Heyworth who was recently initiated into the Elks lodge in this city.. One of the victims wa sent to the hospital as a result of inuries he received. - ' It is understood that Vaughn is not to be found but he will be arrested as soon as. he can be located.

WHAT IS
Orak Shrine of Hammond Has One of the Biggest Times in All Its History Last Saturday; Affair Concluded With Banquet.
Hammond Men Are Inter
viewed by Times Reporters on Question That Is of
Interest to the People of
United States Just Now.
The members of Orak Shrine in Hammond are a unit in the opinion that the affair last Saturday was one of the most successful that ha3 ever been held in this city and Chairman Walter Hammond of the committee on arrange
ments has received many compliments
on his management of the affair.
The automobile trip to Gary was one
of the, most pleasant features of the days entertainment. In all' there were fifteen automobiles filled with shriners
and after their arrival in Gary they
all assembled at the Gary hotel.
The people of Gary were on the look
out for them and a large crowd wel
corned the vsitors. The members of the Shrine state that the automobile
irip was splenoma. The return was made through Indiana Harbor and Kast
Chicago. See Jacobj-'s Picture.
Upon the arrival in Hammond the entire membership of the shrine went to the Princess theatre where they saw

There was never anything like it,

next Saturday. What? Why, the banker-lawyer baseball game last Saturday afternoon at Harrison park in
Hammond. After comparing the various reports about scores, which were to the effect that the lawyers trimmed
the bankers twelve to two, and vica
versa the bankers the lawyers thirteen to three and that Attorney John Stin-
son asked that the game be started
anew after the seventh inning when the score was twelve to twelve. Thb
Times' baseball expert dopes it out that the score was fourteen to twelve in
favor of the bankers. This statement
he makes without fear of successful contradiction. " J. Cannon Kront. John F. Krost was the umpire, and was according to the statements of both sides a veritable Joe Cannon In the box. He upset all known rules of baseball by his decisions and in a number of instances threatened to fine obstreperous players very heavily. He over ruled the lawyers and quashed their indictments and permitted no filing of demurrers. For the bankers ie served notlve that their accounts were over drawn, that they could get no
credit despite good collateral security. For them he charged up everything to profit and loss.

TIMES BUREAU,
AT STATE CAPITOI Indianapolis, Ind., June 13. There
is still much iffterest In whether Roose
velt will make campaign speeches in Indiana. It is certain that he will be invited but not absolutely sure that he, will accept the invitation. The republicans are all hoping that he wUl
accept, for they realize the great work he could '-do io. Itffiana. JLf he should come In and help the republican ticket. There has ben a lot of democratic talk to the effect that the republicans who are opposed to Senator Beverldge's course on the tariff would try to defeat him for re-election even if they had to elect a democratic legislature. This talk, however, has disappeared, and in its place there has come talk to the effect that this element of the republican party will not do anything of the kind. One of the republicans of the old line, as the democrats like to call them, said the other day that there are no republicans who will vote against the legislative ticket. "I do not hesitate to say what I think of the situation," he said. "I belong to the old line of the party, as it is called, and I am sure that if there
was anying in the wind looking to the defeat of the legislative ticket I would know it for I have been campaigning for years in Indiana. But I have yet
to hear of the tfirst republican who is going to vote against the legislative ticket. We are all going to support the republican ticket from end to end and we believe-we will be able to elect it. After the republican legislature has been elected the question of electing a Unlte'd States senator will be taken up. It may be best for the party to send Senator Beveridge back to the senate. If that appears to be the best for the party it will be done. If, on the other hand, It appears to be best for the party to send some one else in his place that will be done. But the general belief is that Senator Beveridge will be sent back." This same expression has been heard from several of the republicans who have been counted as unfriendly to Beveridge, and from the way they talk there seems to be little left for the
democrats to take comfort in along that line.
