comes apparent that Marshall cannot Mn this connection is that he will re-
few weeks ago, when Senator Kern was here, he Joined a secret order and was initiated while he was here on one of his visit from Washington. At the time teh fact was mentioned in the news
papers, but no one thought much about it. Of course, Mr. Kern had a perfect right to Join a lodge if he wished to it so, and the people let it go at that without any comment or without thinking that it had anything to do with hi presidential boom. But now it Is learned that the boom is being fathered and promoted by some
of the men who hold high offices in the lodge, and it Is the belief that their reat purpose in fostering the Kern movement is to get some advertising fo their organization out of the fact that
! Kern Is a member and that he is a
Presidential candidate. If this really Is the purpose behind the boom it will not
live long, for Kern will put a stop to
lit very promptly. At any rate he Is
coming here to chloroform the boom and
'and It would probably be Interesting If
one could be a litle mouse in a corner of the room when he talks with its promoters. But the Kern boom Is not entirely in
, the hands of these lodge men. It has : taken deeper 'root than that in some i quarters, and. there are many Demoi crats who are in dead earnest In their
belief that he is the proper man for the Democrats to nominate as their candidate for president. Then, again.
j it is believed that another factor In th
Kern boom is the effort on the part of
some Democrats to create the Impres
sion that Indiana Democrats are not for
Marshall for President, and thus fix things up in behalf of Governor Wilson
be nominated the Indiana delegation can be swung to either one of those men It Is known that one Indiana Demorat," who wishes to be known as a leader went to New Jersey not long ago and tried to make a deal with Governor Wilson for the delivery of some of the Indiana delegates. But Wilson refused to have anything to do with the proposition, because he would not consent to being put In the light of invading the home state of another candidate for the nomination. It is understood, too, that one Democrat tried to mane a. deal with Governor Marshall some time
ago to act ss his press agent for'1100 a
week to boost his boom. Marshall also turned It down, and he has no press agent and will not have one. If he gets the nomination he will get It with
out a press agent.
Senator Kern has said repeatedly, and
so 'have many of his strong friends.
that he ,1s not and will not he. a candi
date for the nomination for President.
He says he Is for Marshall, and that the Democracy of the state is for him, and
that it will remain with him. For a time it was thought that Kern might consent to become a candidate for the honor, on the ground that It was an Impossibility to nominate Marshall, but recentdevelopments have caused people to believe that he is in earnest In his refusal, and that he will use strong arm methods. If necessary, to strangle his boom. It Is recalled that he has called a conference of the Indiana con
gressional delegation In Congress at Washington when he will try to hav them come out squarely for, Marshal!
and make an announcement that Indi
ana Is for him. In this way, he hopes o show to the country that there Is
nothing in the talk about opposition
to Marshall.
The latest gossip about Toni Taggart
main loyal to Marshall and that he will
do his best for him, but that jlf it should reach a point where Marshall would have to withdraw Taggart woulij try to throw the Indiana delegation to
Governor Harmon. Taggart would not
support Wilson, because he regards hint as a radical. This is the reason why it has ben said that Tagart would try to elect delegates to the national convention from Indiana who would be for ' Marshall first and Harmon next. The resolutions , adopted by tha Democratic editors at their Laporte meeting the past week, are looked on as a mere Joke, so far as they refer to the Tom Marshall constitution, because ths editors are said to hold the belief that the courts will knock out the law under which the constitution will "be a dead one and the editors will not be ernbarassed by their resolutions But the lndoesement of Marshall as' a can
didate for President is regarded as a
natural tlilnaj In the course of political
affairs. Indiana democratis editors
could not, under the circumstances, do: anything but Indorse the Governor for
President. 1 " 1

INSPECTS PROPOSITION
Gary's park board, composed of Aldernan M. N. Castleman, Edward G. Elbe tnd Frank Zwadski, accompanied by a lumber of Gary officials and citizens -ent on an automobile Jaunt to Miller .esterday, where they were met by the Board of trustees of the town and a lumber of prominent citizens and later Inspected the sit of the proposed laka front park. Alderman Castleman was in the hlghst of spirits and his Jaws fairly clicked n the Juicy navy plug as he explained
how he would Improve the 277 acres at a cost of something like $1,000,000. Yesterday was not a day for Castleman to care about figures, but he was completely at sea. when one of the party Innocently asked the alderman from the Fifth ward, how Gary people would reach the park. Air Ships and Intertirhana. "Don't yew worry about thet," said Alderman Castleman changing the navy plug from one side of his mouth to the other. "This year park will be reache.l by an lnterurban railroad in less tlmo than It takes ter think. Just as scon as the lad Is purchased. We will have trolley cars and airships runnig every five minutes for the benefit of the 'peepul. who wish to while away tho'r spare hours In this delightful reckreatlng center." The site for the proposed park is at the mouth of the Calumet river taking in all the territory east of Lake avenue beyond the mouth of the river. Think IOO Arm Sufficient. While Alderman Castleman thought that Gary's future park should occupy 272 acres the other members of the park board and officials are of the
opinion that 100 acres will be all the terltory that Is neded. A meeting of the park board will lie held in the coun
cil chambers of the -Hty hall on Wed
nesday night at which time the Miller
own officials and their friends will be
present to hear the plans of the board.
Among those who were on the Inspec
tion trip yesterday from Gary were: President William Olander of the Miller
own board. Trustees John Frederlck-
on and John Miller. M. J. Zelibor. O.
Riser, Charles Joll, Charles Blank, Wil-
lam Westergreen, John Larson Arvld-

Catarrh, Bronchitis, Asthma
Another Hammond Lady expresses Ap
proval alter 1 reatment. "For years I have-had an ugly case of catarrh and bronchial trouble,
I had a severe cough and my chest was so sore that at times I could scarcely breathe. I had taken treatment of so many doctors without avail that I had
come to believe what I have heard so often: That catarrh cannot be cured
I now feel entirely different about it I have taken treatment of Dr. Leedy
ror nve weens ana tne etiange Is little less than marvelous. After spraying
and cleaning out my nose, he gives met inhilation of Oxyoline (medicated
ozone) and not only Is my catarrh and bronchitis better, but I am better In every way. I am stronger and the tired indolent reeling that at times almost : Incapacitated me, is all gone. In short, I feel myself again. Thanks to Dr.
Leedy and his Oxyoline treatment. "MRS. J. I. FRIEND, 301 Tborington Avenue, Hammond, Ind." I will give Treatment FREE
for one month to each NEW or BEGINNING patent, making no charge what
ever except for the medicine, Just to prove that what I have done for Mrs.
Friend and other Hammond patients, whose testimonials have appeared in
this paper from time to time, can be done for other patients suffering with
asthma, bronchitis, cartarrh and lung and chest troubles. Many people are
not familiar with our. line of sanitarium treatments and this liberal offer Is made as an unanswerable argument, to convince the sick and' afflicted of what we can do. Remember address, DR. LEEDY, Suites 32 and 33,' Rimbach Building (Over Lion Store), Hammond, Ind.

is completed in a few days and other times a requires a couple of weeks or more to bring matters to a focus. The wage scale now in force between the Amalgamated Association and the Western Bar Iron association was for the year ending June 1. The same scale will continue in force until a new schedule Is agreed upon. The Amalgamated Association's meeting with the Republic Iron and teel Co. is always later and as a rule the Western Bar schedule is adopted by the Republic mills. However, this does not necessarily follow.
EXPECT
A
look after their interests. The meet
ing is to be held in room No. 3 in the
Lake Superior court house Tuesday June 6 at ten o'lock.
Witnesses .Subpoenaed. To assure the attendance of a num
ber of the large property owners the
state board of tax commissioners has sent subpoenas to a large number of
the property owners. All others who have interests that .are likely to be affected are requested to be present.
The suspicions of the state board of
tax commissioners was aroused when they noted that the city of Whiting paid the Forsythe estate $76,000 for 16 acres of lake frontage for park pur
poses. This was at the rate of $4,750 an acre. The board noticed that the assessors in the townships of North Calumet and Hobart were assessing this same frontage at a value per acre which ranged from $2,200 to $2,800. Thenght They were Fnvored. Naturally the state board thought that some of the big corporations were being favored. Apparently they did not put much of a valuation on this frontage until they came to sell it and then they asked a fancy figure for It. The fact will probably.be brought out that It was the riparian rights that were so valuable in the" case of the purchase of the Whiting park property. While the acreage was not large it involved a large extent of shore line and that made the cost per acre greater. Hard to Value. It is a known , fact that the Gary Land Co., which made most of the purchases of land for the Indiana Steel Co.
at Gary, paid between $1,000 and $1,50J
for its purchases.
But there have been so few purchases
of lake frontage that H has really been
difficult to place a value upon the property. It is believed that the state board of . tax commissioners will decide upon an increase ad it will be up to the land owners to do the best they can to keep the valuation down. Other matters in the northern part of the state are to receive the attention of the state board and it is expected that there wil be -some interesting sessions
before the members leave.

The conference will "take place at Cambridge pringj beginning tomorrow. It will continue until something is arrived at in the way of a wage schedule for the members of the association.

The meeting of the Gary city council tonight promises to be as full of surprises and sensations as)f yore, and
when the dead and wounded are picked
up and the casualties are tabulated the breach between the aldermen will be wider than ever. Here are a few things that may happen although there 13
nothina- sure that any will come to
pass: 1. Abolition of the park board. 2. Creation of the office of city controller. 3. Appointment of member of school board. i. Readjustment of Gary tax levy. 5. $50,000 bond issue for South Side fire station will be asked by safety board. - 6. New ordinance providing for killing of stray dogs. 7.. Amendments to Geist franchise. 8. Establishment of city health labratory.
It has been three weeks since the council met for a regular session and
many, other matters of minor leglsla tion will be transacted. Mar Abolish Paris Bosjd.
It Is said on good authority today
that Alderman Anthony- Baukus has prepared an ordinance in which he will ask for the abolition of the park board. It is a movement to get even with
Alderman Castleman for accusing cer
tain aldermen with accepting the alleg
ed $3,000 jack pot at the time the Gelst
franchise passed the council. Alderman
Castleman Is , a. member of the park
hoard and at the special meeting of the council last Wednesday night, hearing that the park board was to be abolished he tried to square himself, saying that the matter of the $3,000 Jack pot was a
little Joke. . ' Will Eleet Member of School Board. Ihe appointment of the new member of the school board has resulted In an interesting race ad will be decided at tonight's meeting. There are nearly a dozen candidates In the race prominent among them are A. P. Melton, candidate for reappointment, W. J. Flynn. C. O. Holmes, E. A. Ridgly, John Kirk, Bolice Szymanskl. The race it is said has dwindled down to Mr. Melton, Flynn and Holmes and their Is much wire pulling today as the result. Alderman Castleman who is backing W. J. Flynn said to day that Flynn had five votes pledged, and C. O. Holmes Is also confident of the appoint- On the other hand a number of aldermen will fight for the reappointment of Mr. Melton "and It Is likely that in the balloting that he will receive the appointment.
