I'nrequited lore 'of a Gary girl, Ina

l ravis who rarrieu meais iy ints prisoners at the police station is boHeved to ,h ttip motive that causcl Frank LittcBuffalo. a Sioux Indian chief to end his llf in the Gary city hall yesterday afternoon. lard Carbolic Arid. Carbolic . acid was used y theIndian to send him. to the happy hunting grounds. Shortly after three o'clock he was found writhing: on a couch In the city hall basement anl although physicians were summoned twenty mlnute3 work on their part failed to recall the dying man back to life. .. - . No other moiiva save a love affair Is assigned by the police for Little Buffalo's act. It Is very seldom that an Indian comraitts suicide and for some time' It is said that he had been Infatuated with Miss Travis. Befriended by Mayor. Little Buffalo was thirty-throe year. old and was a biff man physically. He arrived In Gary last summer with a wild 'west Bhow. Some of the re-J skins attached to the show filled up 'on Gary "firewater" and proceded to shoot up the south end of town. The police could not quell the uprising and they did not become quieted

until Mayor Knotts arrived on the scene. The mayor, who used to be a

. school teacher among the Sioux peo

p'.e, talked to the red men In their own

language and when the police got them In tow Knotts found Liiti

Buffalo, a former pupil, and his wITa

among the number.

. Little Buffalo was given a job as

janitor at the city hall and the mayor

saw that he was well taken care of.

Shortly aftorwards his wife died. Today the Indian was to go back to hi mother who lives on the Pine Ridgo

reservation in South Dakota. Wai a Model Indian.

A week ago Sunday when Mayor Knotts delivered a sermon In the First

Presbyterian, church he had his pro

tege along to show his auditors what

a model . Indian looked like. Chief

rJurraio was wen eaurawa anu lajxea English quite fluently. He ownel several hundred acres of land in the T'akotas. The remains were taken to Finerty's morgue and will probably be shipped to the Pine Ridge agency for Interment.

feet excepting through the Interstate

mill's property, where it Is but forty

feet wide. It was shown that there !&

a clause in the deeds of all railroad companies whose rights of way cross

th street providing for the ultimate crossing.

Owing to the presence of so many saloon keepers who had come to learn the fate of their licenses, it was decided to postpone the settlement of the One Hundred and Forty-first street question until tomorrow, when It will be taken up at 1 o'clock. AFTERNOON FOR 5 AI.OONMF.X, The afternoon was devoted to the saloonkeepers and about fifteen seekers after the renewal of their licenses, were examined. Questions were asked thn regarding their citizenship, wheth

er they had kept their places open since March 4 on Sundays, whether they permitted women in their saloonc,

whether they had lewd and lascivious

pictures in their establishments and

the rest of the questions made neces

sary by the passage of the new Proc tor bill. (

None of the saloon keepers were

denied a renewal of their licenses, but a few of their caes were taken under

advisement and they -will not know

their fate until today, when it is hoped

that all of the cases can he disposed

of. Those heard yesterday wore the

cases of saloon kepers from Hammond

Indiana Harbor. Kast Chicago and

Whiting. Gary is being heard today.

Not all of the saloon keepers present

yesterday were directly interested in

the proceedings, man of their cases

not being due to be heard for some months to come and such having

mrely come to look on.

The evening train that brought the

outsiders home was packed to the

guards when the crowd, at Crown

Point took possesion of it.

bered that it was Bruce's conscientious efforts that finally resulted in the pardon of Stanislaw Stathacopolls, the Greek who was convicted of murder. Trial Waa Fast. Another feature of the trial was the rapidly with which the testimony of the witnesses was given. It is said that in the average case a court reporter is not required to take more than 150 words a minute and yet Court Reporter'J. P. purgeon, formerly of Peru, was compelled, a great deal of the time, to take an average of 250 a minute. The negro witnesses would become greatly excited and would talk so fast that It was almost impossible to fol

low the conversation, let alone take it in shorthand. The theory of Attorney Bruce's defense was that the homicide was committed in self-defense. He was able to bring out a great many strong points in defenses of this position.

Attorney Ralph W. Ross took the position that the killing was an unjustifiable homicide, e.nd that the defendant should pay the penalty for his crime. He prosecuted the case with vigor.

TIMES BIRF.Al', XT STATE CAPITA I Indianapolis. Ind., April 4. There U some speculation here among the politicians as to who will succeed Stokes Jackson as chairman of the Democratic state committee, and no one seems to

1 have a very clear idea of what action

will be taken in that direction. Mr. Jackson was elected on Saturday by the Democratic Congressional caucu.as sergeant at arms of the national house of representatives, and this will take him out of Indiana politics, at least during the time that he serves In that capacity. The office of sergeant at arms is of uncertain duration, because, the next congress may be repuolican and if it is out goes Jackson and - the rest of the Democratic appointees. Of course, he is sure of two years, but no one knows how much longer, If any, he wil stay. There will be an election of a state

Democratic chairman next winter when the state committee will be reorganized for the campaign of 1912. That Is tho regular reorganization time. It may be that Jackson will not resign as state chairman this year, and he will hold on until the regular reorganization time next winter. but even this is not known here. He has not said anything about It. But met.' are some of the Democrats who believe that he ought to resign and let some one else take charge of whatever wodk

(the committee may have to do this

year. There will not be much, but no one knows what . may happen during the year. Jackson has made a good record as

i state chairman, but there are not many politicians who give him the credit for ' It. They say that conditions were such 'that the result would have been the same with any other man as chatrmar. jBut. no matter what they think about ; It, he is given the credit I elsewhere

iwlth having pulled Indiana over into

the Democratic column. It is said that j this fact helped greatly at Washington i In the election of sergeant at arms, j It is said here that an effort will bmade to get Senator Stephen B. rion,. ling, of Fort Wayne, to take the chairimanship of the state committee, to sucI ceed Jackson, but it is not thought , that he will take the place, because

nomination for president.

Charles. Murphy, member . of the

Democratic state committee from . the

Tenth district, also is mentioned as a likely man for state chairman. He U

a good politician, and has been member of the state commttee for some time, and knows present conditions as

well as anyone in the machine. Whether Murphy would take the place

is a question, however, as the matter

has not been presented to him. as far

as is known here

Bert Hendren. of I.inlon. who ha

had charge of the speakers bureau of

the state committee during the las', two campaigns, also is talked of as a possible successor to Jackson. He was postmaster of the house of representatives at the recent session of the

I-iegilature. It is pointed out. however, that Jackson will likely hold on to the chairmanship until his time expires Hex' winter. There will be little to do and there is good reason to believe tha the special session of Congress will

end early in June and this will allow Jackson to' spend tho time between that date and the first of December in thi state. ' ' , The secret of , Jackson's election as sergeant ; at arms is said to lie in the fact that the Indiana members of Congress voted at the last session , In favor of holding the Panama canal 2xpoBttion at New Orleans in ai5, the year of the completion of th canal. It Is known that New, Orleans and San

Francisco both worked hard for the exposition, and it. Is known too that Tom Tagart used his influence to line up the Indiana delegation for New Orleans." At that time no one had any idea that Tagart wa,s playing a neat little political game ii the matter, but now It developes that Tagart nmd 3 the southern Democratic congressman promise that they would vote for Jackson for sergeant at arms in return for the votes of the Indiana members for the exposition to be held at Sew Or

leans.

is going the rounds here Just now Is in regard to the conference which will be held some time next month by the htpublican members of the last legislature. The date has not yet been selected, but it is stated by Representative Jes se Bschbach, of Warsaw, who was the Republican floor leader in the house, that it will.be held in May. It is the purpose of the members to discuss thoroughly the situation of the Republican party in Indiana at this time, and to some preliminary plans' for party action in the next campaign. The members believe that the record made,, by the legislature is such as will cause - the democrats no end of trouble in the coming campaign.

and the Republicans want to be ready to take advantage of everything that

comes their way. One of the import

ant matters to be discussed is the Tom

Marshall constitution and how to flay

It alive in the campaign next year. The republican legislators say they find all over the 'state a suspicion of the proposed constitution and that the people do not take-" -kindly" " to the idea of having a - new "constitution

forced on them over night, as this one

was done. . "

The members themselves are In the best position to make a fight against this constitution, fhey say, because

thev were on the grouna ana nad a

hand in the fight against it.

much the same as last year, when the

big boats set rail on the 10th of the month. An official statement of ice conditions says that the ice is gradually

disappearing in all the lakes. On Lake Superior a few fields are reported

along the north shore near Port Ar

thur, and some fields In the extreme eastern portion. Many harbors are already open. Whitefish bay is clear of

ice. Ire Broken Green Bay.

St. Mary's river is solid, though be

ginning to show the effect of warm

weather. In Oreen hay the ice

I broken and moving with the wind. The

ice fields of Lake Michigan are con fined to the extreme northern por

i tions of the lake around Beaver island

i and off the mouth of the straits. The

ice In the straits is softening rapidly, and open water is reported between

Mackinaw City, Mackinac island and

St. Ignace. On Lake Huron most of the Ice has drifted off the west shore.

though some broken fields are report

ed in Saginaw bay and a moderately heavy field in Thunder bay. The Ice

in Georgian bay remaiius solid, except

small opening near Owen sound

The only ice fields on Lake Krie are

confined to the extreme eastern end

and they have commenced to run down the river. The Ice remains solid in the

extreme northeast portigns of .Lake

Ontario.

Lake Superior Conditions Same.

In comparison with the same period

of last season the ice condition on

Lake Superior is about the same. . In St. Mary's river there is more ice this

year. About the same conditions pre

vail this year as last In Green bay,

Lake Michigan and Lake Huron. There

is more ice In the straits. There is

less ice in Lake Erie and oensiderably

more in Lake Ontario.

The Indiana congressmen delivered the votes to New Orleans, but that city lost out. and the exposition went to San Francisco, but the southern congressmen were game and they came across with their votes for Jackson, Just as they had agreed to do. ; This is said to be the real secret of the success of Jackson among the southern Democrats. It only shows, too, that Indiana politicians can play the game as well as any of them. Tamany was bound to have the appointment of the sergeant at arms, which is a fat position, paying- $6;500 a year, for a Tammany man. and all of the political tricks of which Tammany is capable were employed. In the; fight, but the Indiana crowd was too much for Tammany. ......... , . Another bit of political gossip' thai.

GIVES UP JOB

Considerable interest is attached to the resignation of. William Rost, road-

master of the Elgin, Joliet & lCastern

railway at Gary, Who got out of his job

Saturday.

It was in Rost's department that Macaluso, the Chicago Italian labor agent., operated. While Macaluso ap

parently charged the men in Rost's de

partment a nominal and legal employ

ment fee affidavits .made out by some

of the' workmen showed that he evi

dently mulcted them out of a good

share of their wages.

Several of the foremen In the road

department were recently dismissed

and with the leaving of Rost most of the road officials have been separated

from the company's payroll.
