Indiana Harbor, Ind., Nov. 11. In the
terrific gale that was blowing Wednesday night the D. R. Hanna, one of the most famous ore vessels on the great lakes, was forced to ground on one of the sandbars to save itself from being dashed to pieces on the harbor pier. The boat was still on the ground this morning, owing to the continued roughness of the lake, but it is expected that the high sea that has been running since will subside before the day is out, thus giving the boat an opportunity for release. The D. R. Hanna on Wednesday had tld up at the blast furnace docks laden with 10.000 tone of ore. which (Continued on page seven.)

of opinion that they will be time, labor
and money savers in the long run, be
sides lessening, the chances for crooked work andr obviating the difficulties met at the poUs under the Australian system, such as was experienced in Gary during the present election.

SOCIALIST VOTE'S LARGE
INCREASE
386 392
The board of public works this morning gave instructions to Otto Duelke, city ' clerk, this mornig to notify the railroads crossing Hohman street, between Plummer avenue and Logan street, to erect street lamps at this crossing. The probabilities are that this notice will receive no more consideration that many others that the board has sent the railroads. For nearly a year now the city council, the board of public works, and the cfty attorney - have attempted to get the Erie and Monon to maintain a night watchman at the Douglas and Clinton street crossings.
Returns From Capital.
Judge Ibach was back among his
friends this morning, having returned
from Indianapolis last night. Having
been elected as Judge of the appellate
court, it behooves him to spend most of his time during the next four years at Indianapolis. His term of office begins on Jan, 1, and while he will go
there then, his family will probably not move to the state capital until next
spring
Cases. Dismissed.
The state cases against Isaac, Louis and Abe Marcus for assault and bat
tery upon 'Joseph Bebroff were dismissed this morning in the city court upon a. motion of G. C. White, deputy
prosecuting attorney. The case had
been continued a number of times, and as not all the wtinesses for the state were present this morning, the state did not think It advisable to prose
cute.
ARE TOU TAKIXG THE TIMES
No Clue Yet.
No clue has, as yet, been found by
the police to the burglars who entered
the Humpfer and Wolter stores last
Wednesday night. Thus far no , other
jobberies were reported. -. . - -
OCCUPY NEW OFFICES.
All of the county officers have mov
ed into the remodeled court house at
Hammond and the building will be
peady for occupancy when court con
venes next Monday for the term.
County Clerk Shortridge has moved
all of his records from the federal building, where the Lake superior court
hag ben in session for several months, and will be ready for the opening of court.
The opening of the Lake superior
court will be made an occasion and a
program is being arranged. One feat
ure of the occupation of the new court
house is the fact that a new court
room has been provided which will
make possible the appointment of an
additional Judge of the court here when the legislature convenes this
fall.
BOYVILLE MEETING That the Hammond Boyville movement Is not dead is shown by the fact that tha. city council met last evening and filled several vacancies that have been caused by resignations or by the boys leaving the city. , The result of this action was as follows: Arthur Flndling was elected to take the place of Elliott Conroy, resigned. Flndling was selected for the reason that he was next on the ticket at the last election. Fred Hansen was elected to take the place that Flndling vacated as chairman of the board of public works. Crill Burge was elected to take the place of Harold Bowers and Clue Burge was elected to take the place of Rudolph Broze, who has left the city. Judge Brown met with the boys and approved of their action.
The increase of the socialist party in Lake county is the talk of politicians today after the total vote is in. From a handful of 300 votes the vote this year has grown to 800 quite a formidable figure for two years' growth. At this rate of increase the socialists of Lake county would cast
more votes by 1916, six years - hence, than the republicans party now casts in Lake county. East Chicago, with its mill working population, is the stronghold for the movement, and from there it has spread to Hammond, Whiting, Indiana Harbor, Gary and .Crown Point, four
votes having been reported from the county seat.

Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 11. Among the callers at Gov. T. R. Marshall's office last night was Appellate Judge-Elect Joseph G. Ibach df Hammond. The two men exchanged felicitations and some time was spent in discussing the democratic political situation in Lake county. Judge Ibach is the governor's personal representative in Lake county. Chicago, Nov. 11. Six persons were shot, three of them it is believed fatally, when three bandits early today raided the town of Cicero, shot three persons in a
saloon and fought a desperate battle with the police in which a polceman and one bandit were wounded. It is reported they held up another victim and fired two shots before they attacked the patrons in the saloon. Guadalajara, Mexico, Nov. 11. For three hours last night a mob of several hundred men and boys of the lower classes, incited by inflammatory speeches of students of state schools, paraded the, streets of this city. The demonstration was in imitation of rioters in the national capital in a manifestation against Americans and intended as a protest against the Rock Springs (Tex.) lynching. New York, Nov. 11. The express wagon drivers' strike was tentatively settled today and the men will return to work Monday. The companies agreed to take back all the men and to submit the wage and hours questions to arbitration. . .-

The funeral has been arranged for Saturday morning. Services will be held' at 10 o'clock by the Rev..C. J. Sharp of the Christian church.
Fifty Years Ago Today. . Nov. 11. Kemarkably quiet Sunday in view of the fact that it followed the most startling political revolution of modern times and a week of rumors presaging the disruption of the Union. President Buchanan reported as despondent over the situation in the south, where hostility to the election of a Republican president was pronounced and seemingly universal. The Southern Rights club of Savannah flung out a banner bearing the inscription. "Equality of the States." and a picture of a rattlesnake with the motto. "Don't Tread on Me." Henry Ward Beecher preached a radical sermon In New York and responded to the intimation then current that Lincoln would never be inaugurated. "We will seel"
The White store is a demonstrated
success as a business proposition
Since the opening last month the public has expressed its approval of the project by extending its most liberal
patronage. The new store has filled the tradi
tional long felt want. It provides the shopper with the things that the people of Hammond formerly went to Chicago to buy. The store is one of the most beautiful in the state, and this, together with the superior quality of merchandise
that is handled, makes the store one of the most attractive in the region. One feature of tue new store Is the courteous treatment .that its clerks accord the purchasing public. It is remarkable that this important trait could have been drilled Into the clerk3 In so short a time.
manager Cohen has taught them, by example, where it would have taken weeks and months to train his helpers In any other way. The new system of using cash registers throughput the store is, a success and facilitates the transaction of business. , Manager Cohen said today, "The White store has succeeded beyond our expectations. We have done a remarkable volume of business, and the outlook for the holiday trade is exceedingly bright. "I think the White store will grow In favor as the people come to appreciate what we are trying to do for the community. We are here to supply everything the people of the Calumet region want in the lines we handle

trading at home will be solved by en-
ablying the people here to buy what they have been going to Chicago for.
Indianapolis, Ind.. Nov. 11. Already
five Democratic Representatives, elected at last Tuesday's election, have announced themselves as candidates for
Speaker of the House. They are Joseph
M. Craens, of Madison; Michael . U.
Thornton, of New Albany; Harry 'G. Strickland, of Greenfield; John B. Faulknor, of Michigan City, and William W. Spencer, of Indianapolis. It is said that there will be more candidates, but this is all that has been announced up to this time. The prospect is that the scramble for the Speakership will be on one of the Interesting feaures of the next session of the Legislature. The latest figures show that the Democrats will have a majoriy of thirty-eight in the Leglslaure on Joint ballot. Therefore, the candidates for speaker will have plenty of material to work on during their canvass for votes.
Cravens was a member of the House four years ago and was one of the floor loners with Thomas M. Honan when
the Democrats were in a hopeless minority In the House. Honan was reelected to the House from Seymour two years ago and became speaker of the
House. This year ne was eieciea Attorney General, to succeed James Bingham, and will take office on the first of January. Cravens, while a strict party man, did not take kindly to the action of his nartv associates in the House at times.
and while he kept regular ana vuieu with them all along the line he did so with some mental reservation. Two
years ago he did not run for Represen-
tative. This year, however he decided to getJLntb.e. game again, and he m4 the"" race' and was . eiseted by a email plurality He came to this city yesterday and announced his candidacy. 'He isTegarded as one of the strong Democrats of the House. At the county op tlon election which was hed In JeJIerson county he voted cry. Thornton, of New Albany, Is the author of the. Thornton paving law, which gives the property owners the right to select the kind of material with which a street shall be paved and requiring the city, to pay the cost of paving street intersections, Instead of charging up the street inersections to the property owners. He voted to repeal the county option law at the last session. This will be his third term as Representative. Thornton is a spread' eagle orator, and every time he makes a speech in the House the members sit up and listen because they know he will tear the tail feathers out of the old bird. Strickland, also, has served two terms
I in the House, and this will be his third.
He has never done anything brilliant In the House, but has been a consistent Democratic member. He says he is a candidate on a platform calling for economy In the management of the state's affairs. , "I want to carry out every promise the Democrats have made," he said. "If I was speaker I would try to have the Democratic party make good all along the line." Faulknor Is one of the Democratic leaders of the north end of the state. He has served in the House for several
