Emerson Bowser Learns a "Few Wrinkles" in City Government From Junket to Detroit Wants Garbage Crematory in Gary.
Big East Chicago Steel Company Will Spend $20,000 in Bettering Its Plant Repairs Necessitated by ' Storm Almost Complete.
According . to Alderman Emerson Bowser, the Gary city officials who went to St. Paul to attend the municipality league convention learned several new wrinkles In the art of governing: a city. "Why, X for one." declared the alderman, who "'is also chief' of :the steel
corporation's private police department,' "learned a great deal about street pav-' ing. They certainly do it right in St. PauL Study Garbage Disposal. "Then there is the garbage crematory In which I am much interested. Up In St. Paul they burn all the garbage. It is gathered in metallic wagons and then conveyed to the incineration plant. Thus there are no disease breeding piles lying about the outskirts of the city. jl find that we can build a first-class crematory for Gary for about $10,000. It can be built on the section plan and as the city grows larger we can add units to It as they are needed. A crematory costing this much would take care of all of Gary's garbage. "Now In St. Paul the heat from the
burning- erarbage generates sufficient
electricity to light a part of the city
This is one of the by-products and it
cuts down the operating expenses of the garbage department wonderfully. Their method in St. Paul is to place all of the waste paper and the wood In the bottom of the incinerator thus creating a solid basis for a roaring fire. Won Id Light South End. "I have been considering the garbage crematory plan for Gary and I think If a plant was installed in the south end of the city we could not only be effectually rid of the garbage but the heat in the electricity by-product would be sufficient to illuminate the Ridge Road territory." It also appears that In the home rule
(Special to The Times.) . East Chicago, Aug. 29. Twenty thousand dollars is to be spent on the improvement of the Republic Steel plant as soon as it is possible to begin the work. The owners have Just about completed the repairs made necessary "by the
ravages of last Tuesday morning's storm adn today all finishing mills will start running double time. All repairs
necessary to the operation of the mills both on buildings and stacks, have been
completed and the only work that re

They will also erect one entirely new sand bottom furnace. The hot bed, the hot scale, the hot shears, etc. will be remodeled after which the mill will be put in operation and other material such as waste heap boilers, will be moved from the bushel to the puddle mill.

ILL THERE BE COUNCIL MEETING
Neither tonight or next Monday night is there a meeting scheduled for th Gary city council but that does not say that there will not be one. Kn Aug. 15 the councilmen decided not to hold a meeting until Sept. 12, but they broke their promises with themselves and met anyhow on the 22nd. Some of the aldermen who Imbibed all of the latest ideas In city Improvements at St. Paul are eager for a meeting at once In order that they may have them introduced in Gary. SucM fads as garbage crematories, automatic weed cutters and new varieties in street paving will undoubtedly be tested o" on Gary 'ere long.

the company having other plans for this, which its officers are not yet ready to give out. It is expected that not over a week's time will be lost while the plant is undergoing these changes and Improvements. The job will however require from six to eight weeks in its completion. The Republic will then have a bushel mill with eight sand bottom and seven bottom furnaces. The mill will be composed of a 22 inch roll train, one set of roughing rolls, one set of finishing mill rolls, eight sand and seven cinder bottom furnaces.
Because she wouldn't come back to work as a cook, where she had been employed several weeks, Mary Ivanlshe, a Polish girl, was severely beaten and cut by the proprietor of a saloon near the corner of Eleventh avenue and Jefferson itreet last Saturday night. No arrests have been made thus far, but It is said a warrant will be sworn out for the arrest of the proprietor of the saloon today. The injured woman was taken to the Mercy hospital, where a physician dressed the wounds on her face, which consists of several long cuts on the Jaw and neck. Her condition is not thought to be serious.

of the hearse marched the pall bearers, Messrs. George M. Collins, Edward Grady, Clyde Lampman, Walter Schrage, Fred Emmel and Harvey Carringer. The church was filled to Its utmost capacity, several finding it impossible to gain entrance. Never in the history of Whiting, has there been such a large attendance at a funeral. The sermon
preached by Father Berg was very
beautiful. He lauded the younsr man
for making such excellent use of his talents, and said "although he Is gone from this earth, his contributions to mankind, will never die."
Remain Viewed In Vestibule. After the services the casket was
opened in the vestibule of the-church, to give all an opportunity to view the remains, on their way out. From the church the Masonic band again headed
the procession down Sheridan avenue to 119th street and east on One Hundred and Nineteenth street to Schrage avenue from where the carriages left for Oak Hill cemetery in Hammond, by way of East Chicago. -' ' ' At the cemetery was also a large concourse of friends, and Rev. Berg was also in attendance to consecrate the grave. He asp offered prayer. The floral tribute were In great profusion and very beautiful. Mass was said for the deceased at the Sacred Heart Church this morning.
Herbert Ingraham was born in Joliet, 111.. July 6th, 1882. He was the oldest child of Mr. and Mrs. Sam Ingraham,
and came to Whiting wth his parents
when a very small boy. He was very
popular with all who knew him, and
when very young his talent In music manifested itself. At a very tender age
he was a wonderful piano player as well
as an exceptional violinist. At the time
of his death his playing was nothing
short of a wonder. Career Opened Five Yearn Ago.
About five years ago he began composing both vocal and instrumental
music. One of his first songs was,
Would If I Could But I Can't, Because I'm Married Now." This is the song
which started him on the road to fame,
When sung in New York it made a great hit, especially with . Maurice
Shapiro, the great music publisher, of
Broadway and Thirty-ninth street. New
York. Sahpiro waited for Mabel Hite who had sung the sung, and asked the composer. They found great difficulty
Ip learning Just who Herbert Ingraham was, but finally learned that he was in Chicago, where he was at that time
directing a band at the White City
Shapiro made a flying trip to Chicago Whore he interviewed the composer. He then contracted with Ingraham to write
his music for him exclusively. Four
years ago he left for New York, where
he has since been writing for Shapiro,
and the number of his productions in
this short time has been surprising, es
peclally since for tne past two years he has been suffering from tuberculosis
Several of his songs were composed
while lying in bed, too ill to be up
Some of Mr. Ingraham s songs are
"Roses," "The Ideal of My Dreams,
"Ain't You Coming Out Tonight, "Mis
tah Johnson, Goodnight," "Go Find ; Sweetheart From the Emerald Isle, "I'll Be Back In A Minute," "When Dream In The Glooming of You,
"Won't You Yv'altz Home Sweet Home With Me," "When Heine Waltzed Round With His Hickory Limb," "Tittle, Tittle, Tattle Tale," and "Amo" (Lovel an intermezzo, which is arranged in both vocal and instrumental form. Left One Song; Incomplete. In addition to these are several oth
ers, and a number yet to be pubiisnea. One song Mr. Ingraham did not live to finish, was about his little daughter, Herbie Amo, who is named after her father, and the song "Amo" which he has written. The death of Mr. Ingraham is mourned not onl;- by a large circle of friends in Whiting, but in every place he has ever been, and not only those with whom he has come in contact personally, but with all who have enjoyed his music, which had a charm that none can. forget. He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Frankie Campbell Ingraham, and 13 months old daughter, his parents. Mr. and Mrs. Sam Ingraham, two sisters, Mrs. Zella Hendrickson, and Miss Myrtle Ingraham, and two brothers.
ditions and show them the kind and class of work which will have to be done in the various counties and localities.
Will Show tp Disaffection. It is the expectation, too, that . the
poll will show up the disaffection which exists in many places. Both sides ad
mit that there are local troubles In their ranks, as there always are at the
opening of a campaign. This condition
is never confined to any one party. The Repubicans are having their tribulations this year., and so are the Democrats. Each side. Insists, of course, that
the troubles are ,ioal, but whether this is true or not remains to be seen. But,
at all events, the poll will disclose the
location and extent of these disaffections, arid the campaign managers can then go to work on them to straighten them out.
AVI1I Employ New Ttaetlcs. It is understood that both sides will
employ some new methods this year in
taking this sixty day poll, but Just what they are is not made public. Careful tabulations will be made of the conditions as they are found by the poll takers. Republican State Chairman
Lee is claiming that the Republicans
will carry the state by a good round
majority, but he is not making any i figures. On the other hand Stokes j
Jackson, Democratic state chairman, is
claiming the state for the Democrats by 40,000. But Jackson made loud claims two yearB ago that the state
would go Democratic by 40,000 to 50,000 and right up to the last minute he was claiming that the entire state ticket would be elected by big majorities.
But when the returns came in it was found that ''only three Democrats on the state ticket were elected, and that two of them had mighty small margins.
FJ"-nre State Secrets. Of course, the figures compiled from the sixty day poll are ne-ner made public, and for that reason the public will never know what they show. For either side to make known its figures would be placing In the hands of the enemy the innermost secrets of the other fellow's campaign. Each side will, however, continue to make Its claim, just as it Is doing now, and therefore the poll -.will be of service only to the managers of the campaign. There are more than 3100 precincts in the 1017 townships of the 92 counties in Indiana. It will take at least three
men from each party to take the poll in each precinct. This will mean that fully ten thousand Republicans and ten
thousand Democrats will be engaged In
poll taking, or twenty thousand in all. These -men have to be paid by the local organizations. Usually they are paid
$2 a day for poll-taking, and it takes two or three days to complete the work
in most of the precincts. Therefore, the 20,000 men will earn probably $40,-
000 a day and this will make the total
cost of their services run up to some
thing like $100,000 for the entire to add Interest to the coming few days. Governor Marshall will be at his desk at the state house, John W. Kern will be at home and Senator Beveridge will return from his vacation in New Hampshire. All of these men will devote their time to preparing to Jump into the campaign. They will be the big smokes of their respective parties, when it comes to speech making, and they are all getting down to bras- acks in their preparatory work. Senator Beveridge will stop here a few days prior to going to St. Paul, Minn., where he will make a speech at the national conservation congress, which convenes next Monday. President Taft and Theodore Roosevelt also will be there and make speeches. The senator also has a number of other engagements to make non-political speeches during the first half of September, but about that time he will lay aside everything else and start in on his active campaign.
Kern has already made one political
speech, at the Dekalb county Democratic convention, in which he said practically nothing except that he was
not going to pick any fuss with Senator Beveridge. He is making arfother
speech this afternoon at East Ente
Monday night the local democracy will gather at Assembly hall, where ihev will select the delegates to the
' county convention on Wednesday. Gary
will have a representation oi ininy
three to the county convention to Hammond's 104. One delegate will be
allowed to every twenty votes cast fo
Governor Marshall in 1908. Calumet township will be allowed ten delegates to the convention. They will a"lso select their delegates at a meeting to be held tonight In the old town hall of Tolleston. Trost Says "Nix." In an interview with a Times reporter at Hammond this morning, James Trost, who is now bailiff of the city court, refused to consider himself for the nomination for sheriff on the democratic ticket. "It is true," said 'Jimmy as he is familiarly known. "that I have been urged on many sides to make the race, but you can go to sleep on what I say. I am not. going to be a candidate.
Couldn't do it for the simple reason that eamnalsrning costs too much. At
that I feel confident that I could carry
the democratic vote solidly with me should I be nominated, but I'll not be
nominated." John Pasca-ly, who is now a council
man in the Hammond city council, was trying to decide the big question for the democrats as to whether he shall
enter the race or not. He quit three weeks ago. His brother-in-law. Otto Huebner. accidentally shot himself and
as Mr. Huebner was one of Mr. Pas
caly's right hand men in the tailor shop Mr. Pascaly feels that he cannot afford to leave his place of business for some
time as Mr. Huebner's conditions will
not permit him to work for the pres ent at' least.

' ANSWER fclKELY.
THE ADS THAT LOOK
EVEN WITH THESE THREE GREAT STARS OUT OF GAME CUBS CONTINUE TO HEAD PENNANTWARD. Chicago, Aug. 27. For the first time in a number of years the outlook In baseball is that the American league pennant race will be decided well In advance of the close of the season, while the National league's championship promises to maintain interest until a later period, particularly as Its playing schedule lasts longer for four of the eight teams. Although the Athletics of Philadelphia are compelled by .the alteration of scehdules to finish this year away from home for a considerable part of the closing weeks, they now have established a, lead sufficiently long to justify believing they cannot be beaten out except by an extraordinary slump or succession of accidents. The Chicago Cubs have a harder fight on their hands, for a time at least. Their lead is much shorter than that of th Athletics, and they have not played as many of their allotted games. The critical period is at hand, and on the outcome of the next fortnight's contests depends whether or not the team, which is striving to win its fourth pennant in five years, will do so without strenuous effort or will be crowded to its limit before the finish. Much will dppend on the fortunes of war, of which the most important is the recovery of the regular players who have been and are now incapacitated by injury, thereby weakening the team's reserve forces. With Steinfeldt, Hofman and Manager Chance back in the lineup the Cubs would be able to stand off any present opponent on the strength of tha lead they now have and without overexerting themselves. If three regular players are to be missed from the roster for any length of time it will ba necessary for the rest to offset that by greater individual effort. Even though these three stars are out of the game the Cubs continue to win the majority of games. With them back In the lineup the pennant is assured.
