HEARING -

Ol! BIG DITCH IS BEGUN

Rensselaer, Ind.. Slay 8. George. II. Martin, a Monticello attorney, Saturdayopened the hearing of the Marble ditch suit. The ditch case is likely to last for several weeks. This is the petition for the deepening and straightening of the channel of the Kankakee River from the Starke County line to three miles below the C, I. & S. crossing at Water Valley, Newton County. It is. with the laterals established by the report of th viewers, robably the most extensive and costly drainage schema now in the courts of the state. The estimated cost exceeds $350,000. Keraoantnton From I.nke. Ramonstrators from Starke, Porter, lake. asper and Newton Counties, represented by about twenty lawyers, will make a -bitter fight on their assessments. The chief contenders for the improvement are the members of the Northern Indiana lAnd Company, who have a large ranch in asper County, bordering the river. Another extensive drainage case in the local Circuit Court is the Borntracer ditch petition, which proposes to continue an improvement to the Iroquois River that was completed a year ago down stream about twenty-two miles. There are more than 500 rer monstrances against the Borntrager ditch assessments. Practically every

land owner in the south half of this j

county is assessed for the Borntrager ditch and practically every one in the north half for the Marble ditch and a number for both ditches.

astrous effect cpon the score for the latter team. But returninr to Saturday. "W. B. Van Home headed the procession of autos which met Whiting at Hist street. The program was carried out practically as arranged, with the exception of the speeches at the grand stand and the pitching of the flr9t ball

by the mayor. Mayor Schlieker failed to attend the game, or if there must ha.ve gone incognito, for nobody who had anything to do with the management of the game got a glimpse of him. So it fell to the lot of the president of the league, W. J. McAleer, to throw the first ball. The ball proved to be somewhat larger than a football when it was produced, being fifteen inches In diameter. President McAleer did his part with distinction, and the real game was begun. Previous to this a picture of the . grand stand with players lined up in front had been taken for The Times. The grand stand and bleachers were filled. Secretary Beverly Chew and Manager Matt Sternberg were given great credit for the smooth manner in which everything went off. for both

had worked hard to see that all the details, down to the most minute, bad been properly attended to. Mr. Chew had made a heroic effort to have a cinder roadway so the autos could enter the park, but limited time forbade. Everything was a success from the Whiting point of view and everything but the score, from the Indiana Harbor point of view. Whiting won the game on better organlaition in the first place, and as before stated on a bunching of hits and errors. But Evans'for Whiting struck out the side in the first inning, and this was a bit disconcerting to the Indiana Harbor team, but the starch was not taken out; of the home team until the fourth inning, when everything seemed to go against them at once, and everything to favor the Whiting boys. Connors for the Harbor pitched a good game up to the fnurth Innlnif. In this Whiting got three hits coupled with a base on balls, which filled the sacks. Manager Sternberg saw that his pitcher was wild and ordered f;oetz into the box. Whiting up to tr.is point had made five hits, including a home run and a two-bagger, making eight In all. In the second in-

ed a bat lover the fence for a home run. The Whiting delegation and it was a big one went wild and a less sturdy framework than that of the new grandstand would have been threatened by the demonstration. I So much for Saturday's game. ! On Sunday Manager Sternberg admonished his boys. But they needed no admonition. Their dander was up and they inenat to win if their opponents from Gary had been all the furies instead of a nice, gentlemanly lot of players good players at that who met the-same luck as did the Harbor boys the day before, seven errors in the sixth and seventh innings, while Indiana Harbor rolled up a bunch of six runs. Af'ter that it was too late for Gary to regain its lost ground, and the score stood at the close of the ninth inning 9 to 4 in favor of Indiana Harbor. 1

by a noise in the hallway, and thinking it was her little daughter. Hazel,

called to her. There was no reply and, j looking out into the hall, she saw aj flashlight. Mr. Harr by this time was) also awakened and called out, "Who i3 j out there?" The intruder called back, j "Come out here and I'll show you who I it is." Fred evidently did not-care to j see just at that time for he did not go j out. The man went down stairs and ' climbed - out the window, leaving it'

open. Harr roused Peter Goebel,his neighbor, who telephoned for; trie- police. They came down Immediately. bHtthe fellow had, .made his escape.

FIREMEN OUT. Called to Subdue Blaze in Tolleston.

from Washington has aroused considerable interest in this state. The dispatch, says that it is expected that within a short time an effort will be made to form an organization in this stare to boom the candidacy of Senator

Lafollette for President. It said that Senator Bourne, of Oregon, was the man behind the movement, and that he has written letters to a number of Lafollette men in Indiana asking thein as to the ' situation In this state. It

says, too, that Senator Bourne has offered to come to Indiana to make a speech at a meeting at which the Lafollette boom may be launched herw. This Is the first intimation that any

one has had that Lafollette would in

vade Indiana. In fact, it had not been known that Lafollette would Be an active candidate for the nomination for President, but this dispatch is taken as good proof that such is his intention. One Republican who keeps pretty close track crt political affairs said today that he believed Senator Lafollette would announce his candidacy within

the next two or three weeks, but he

said he did not believe that the dls

patch from Washington was correct

In saying that the proposed movement In Indiana was a part of the Lafollette campaign. He said that in his opinion

It was a part of the general plan for the organization of the Progressive Republican League throughout ,the country, and not a purely Lafollette pla'i. He said, that the league, was organised in Washington some time ago had already . entered several states and formed organizations, and that it would not stop until it had extended its field into every state In the union. He said it was a movement the object of which was to get all of the progressive Republicans together to stand for the principles pf progressivelsm. It was not, he said, a movement in the interest of any candidate. ; Just how strong the Progressive Republican League can become in Indiana is a question which will have to be answered by the league itself, for there Is no way now to estimate the strength of the progressive wing of the party. But some of those who incline in that direction are saying that it will be a very powerful factor in the affairs of the Republican party. Former Senator Beveridge. who Is at

I home for a few days, was asked in re

gard to the dispatch from Washington

nomination, and that at the right time he will swing Indiana into the Harmon column. " "It is as plain as canbe,' he said, "that Taggart and his crowd is playing with Governor Marshall. These people will encourage Marshall to remain in the race for the nomination and wi:i promise to help him to get a solid delegation from this state. . This is only natural. But if a solid Marshall delegation should be elected it would be a

delegation which would be for Harmo.i

as the second choice. This Is the Taggart game. He could not hope to gt any of the delegates for Harmon on the first' ballot. Of course not. Indiana now has two candidates for the nomination, Marshall and TCern, and this would shut out any outside candidate on the early ballots. But Taggart would expect to drop Marshall after If was found that he could not get the nomination, and then the vots would go to Harmon.. i "But we are not going to allow thi to be done. We are going out and get all the delegates for Kern. We believe that Governor Marshall will not remain

in the race long, and when he drops out we will gather in a solid Kern delegation from Indiana. Then Mr. Taggart may whistle for bis Harmtn

votes. "You Just watch Kern's smoke frotrt now on. He will give a good account of himself during the next six months in the Senate. He will show what is in him and the people of the entire country will 6ee that he has in him the material for a President. Everybody knows that Bryan would fight Harmon. He has already said he was against Harmon. But he would not be egalnst Kern. - No other nomination would please Bryan as well as that of Kern for President. And that means much In the campaign." There is a belief that if a Kern delegation goes from Indiana -to the national convention It will be for Kern first and for Governor Wilson as second choice.

out at 3 o'clock this morning to Tolleston. where the home of J. S. McGregor at the corner of St. Jacob's street and Fifteenth avenue was burned to the ground. Early this morning Mr. and Mrs. McGregor .were awakened by smoke which filled their rooms. They had barely time to make their escape, as the flames were eating their way all around their bedroom. The fire department was unable to save the frame building as the fire had made too much headway before they were summoned. The cause of the fire is unknown.

The Gary Ere department was called but he declined to say anything on the

subject. He said he did not know anything about it, and that he had been in Canada for so long that he had not kept advised of the political situation. Whether he will have any connection with the movement is not known. He has made two long trips to Canada for the purpose of studying that country and Its government and its policies, and he says that he has gained a great amount of knowledge along those lines. He says be does not know what he will do with the information. One of the democrats behind the movement to nominate Senator 'John W.' Kern as the remocratie candidate for president but who does not want his name used in connection with the matter at present, says that unless the

Taggart crowd In the Democratic party j is watcher closely it will swing Indi-

Little Journeys with the Gas Man

No. 2. Care of the Gas Range.' Once every day, while the Gas Range is still warm, the burners should be washed and wiped off with a greasy cloth. The broiling pan and rack and the removable drip pan under the top burners should also be thoroughly washed. The ovens, as well as the entire stove, should be rubbed with a greasy cloth. In case the small holes in the burners become clogged, they should be cleaned out with a piece of wire. The presence of foreign particles in the burners causes-the flame to burn red instead of blue. This does no harm, but if the flame is yellow, it will blacken pans and should not be permitted. If the burners seem to be seriously obstructed, it i3 best to send to the Gas Company for a man to attend to them. - . - Never apply blacking to the burners of a Gas Range.' To prevent rusting, the outside of the Gas Range should be slightly greased once or twice each week, using a greasy cloth or a small piece of suet wrapped in cheesecloth. This, as well as other wipings and washing, should be done soon after the range has been used, as the grease will be more readily absorbed while the range is warm. Tomorrow we will point out the proper way to light a Ga3 Range.

A short distance behind the harem cortege, but not too near, folowed a crowd of young men and boys measuring every tep of the "harerrlte" and contemplating what they would do if she of dainty feet, should trip and fail on banana peel and fall to the sidewalk.
