the ruins. The building is not only a hiding place for men of this character, but the wreckage, " as it now stands, is extremely dangerous, and unless it is removed the city will be responsible for heavy damage suits.
After a long fight over the location of the Tolleston library site the Sixth
.Ward Civic. Association at their meeting last night unanimously decided upon the corner of Thirteenth avenue and Center street as the location of the library for which Andrew Carnegie has donated $15,000. A committee was Immediately appointed by the association to look after the purchase of the site. It contains 5 lots, 2fixl25 feet making the total space "185x125. The property is owned by the South Bend Land Company. Although a piece has been made to the association the committee appointed will negotiate with the company for .a lower 'figure. 'The club Is gaining rapidly in membership, five new members being taken In last night. The total membership of the club is now 62 and all of the business men and prominent citizens in Tolleston are enrolled in the clubs roster. The club h.as been instrumental in bringing about many needed Improvements to Toleston and have a large number more In mind. The members are congratulating themselves that th selection of the site for the libraryhas been disposed of and as soon as the money is raised by donation plans for the erection of the building will be formulated.

"What might have resulted in a serious accident and cause for heavy damages being filed against the city of Gary, occurred last' evening near the corner of Twenty-fifth avenue and Washington street when E. "W. Holmes, proprietor of a grocery store and market, on the south side, stumbled over a pile of debries lying on the sidewalk and wan badly bruised.
About nine months ago, during a heavy wind storm, a frame building on Washington street was blown off its
foundation. The front end of the build

ever since.
The wrecked building is said to be a loafing place for bums and tramps and many of the latter find shelter under

EAST CHICAGO TO HAVE FlflE DEPOT Pennsylvania Co. Decides to Blow Itself for Fifteen Thousand.
Members of the stato board of tax commissioners, composed of Fred A. Sims. Colonel C. C. llatson and raniel
L.urk, and the county board of re
view, composed of County Auditor C.
Johnson. County Treasurer Albert
Maack, Assessor William Black, Cullie Swanson and Kln&r Nichols of Lowell,
spent the entire day yesterday as the guest of Assessor John McFadden and
Captain H. S. Norton, property agent of the Gary Iand conipany, in going through the plant and over the proper
ties of the Indiana Steel company at
Gary.
The state tax commissioners left for
Chicago last night, where they wii! start for KvansvlUe, Ind., and conduct a similar investigation to the one at Gary.
Although Mr. Sims refused to make
any statement to a Times' reporter last
night concerning the outcome of the
board's visit to Iake county. It is the general concensus of opinion that after their trip yesterday that they are
pretty well satisfied with the valuations in the North end of Lake county, especially at Gary, a-nd they will ask for few changes, if any, in the recent assessment valuations compiled by Major McFadden. After going through the different departments of the mill the party wore taken to the Kirk yards and the plant of the American Bridge company. Here Assessor McFadden explained that, while some of the property had been assessed at $800 an acre, a greater part of it had been assessed from $2,500 to $5,000 per acre. While they made no statement, it is thought that the members of the board were well satisfied with Assessor McFadden's work.
GARY ELKS TO PLAY SATURDAY
(Special to The Times.) East Chicago, Ind., June S. . East Chicago is soon to have an attractive $15,000 railway station on the site now occupied by the old frame depot on the Pennsylvania grounds. The plans have all been drawn and approved by the company and work on the structure will be begun shortly. This was reported at the meeting of the Commercial club of Indiana Harbor and East Chicago last night. E. W. Wickey being the bearer of the glad tidings. Mr. Wickey explained that he was speaking of the matter to an offi
cial of the Pennsylvania a few days
ago and that his information was oh taine from him.
The Commercial club has been work
ing on this project for a year in conjunction with the city administration, and the news that their efforts were about to be crowned with achievement, was well received. It is understood that the depot is not to be so very large, but it will be of attractive architecture and will do much toward creating a good appearance to travelers who have heretofore looked out up on a frame shack unworthy the name of depot for a city the size of East Chicago.
Is another who will hvr a. big following if he becomes Uga,ndidate. He is a farmer and he (al6j strong witn tne
miners, of whom tbctre are thousands in the Second district."
"With this news from the Second dis
trict., following closely on the heels of
the brewery opposition to Ralston and the Bending out of the letters arguing against Ralston, there will probably be more anxiety In the Ralston camp. Ralston's friends believe he will be able however, to overcome all opposition.

that, in case Ralston could not be nominated, the Taggart crowd could nominate O'Brien, thus keeping the nomination within the ranks of the Taggart bunch. And this talk has been persistent. Rut there is the very best reason in the world for1 believing now that O'Brien will not be a candidate and
that he would not accept the nomina
tion as long as Ralston is in the race.
It has been learned from a perfectly re
liable source that O'Brien feels that
Ralston is entitled to the nomination
for governor this year. He feels, it is said, that Ralston has been a good old
horse in the party and that he has made so many sacrifices and receivca
nothing for it that he is now entitled to
a chance at the governorship. For this
reason, it la said, O'Brien wil not be a
candidate against Ralston.
O'Brien is not doing arty talkln
about the matter. He is paying no at
tention to the talk about nominating him for governor, his attitude being
that the talk does not amount to any
thing.
All of this, of course, has been very
gratifying to Ralston and his friends
and has encouraged them in the belief
that he will be nominated with ease.
But about the time they settle down Into that feeling of security, along
comes a story that some of the men
who opposed him when he was a candi
date for the same -nomination three
years ago are sending out letters to democrats over the state advising them to oppose Ralston this time, he source of these letters has not yet been
traced, but It is said they have been
sent out. These are calculated to make
more trouble for Ralston.
Much of the opposition to Ralston, it
Is said, comes from the breweries. This
may sound strange, since Ralston is so close to Taggart and the brewery crowd. But the brewery opposition Is
based on the fact that Ralston lives In a dry county which is democratic to the core. It will be remembered that
when the democratic state convention
last year declared In favor of the repeal of the county option law the Boone county democratic convention refused
to indorse that declaration. The lib erals put up to Ralston, as the Demo cratic leader of his cbunty, to pu
through a resolution indorsing the
declaration In the state platform, bu
even he, with all of his Influence, was
unable to put it over the line. This, i
is said, caused him to lose the good will of the brewers, and it is said to be a fact that now they are opposed to him
tor that reason.
Congressman ' Cullop, of Vhncennes,
was In town yesterday, and a story wa
started that he had held a political con
ference here. Ralston, State Treasure
Vollmer and Gil Hendren, building and
loan clerk in the state auditor's office
met at the Denlson hotel and talked politics, and this gave rise to a story
that a plan was under consideration to
line up the Second district for Ralston
But Cullop. before he left town, sho
hat theory full of holes.
"Nobody can line up the democrats o
the Second district for any candidal
for' any certain proposition," he said
"If anyone tries to do that I shall op pose him. There was no such talk be
tween us here. Ralston was born and
ratsed in the Second district, and h
has many relatives and strong friend
down there who will be for him for th tiomlnation.-And they are good, har
n-orklng Influential friends, too. Rals
ton will get a large part of the delega
tion from the Second district. But i
Eph Inman is a canlddate fop the noml
nation he will get the majority of tho delegates. Inman only recently moved from Washington. Daviess county, to
Indlananolla. W la nonular in the Sec
ond district. The people atl like him
and he will be formidable as a candl
date if he gets In jthe race. Congress
man Boebne, also will be a strong candidate In the Second, and so will Con
gressman Adair and Congressman Barnhart, If he is a candidate. Bernhart is especially strong among the democratic editors. Congressman Moss
Members of the Miller town trustees
and the Gary park board met In joint
session at the council chambers in the
Gary city hall last evening to discuss
he proposed lake front park for Gary.
Another meeting has been called for
next Friday night, at which time Judge Ora L. AVildermuth. town attorney for
he town of Miller, and City Attorney
Harvey J. Curtis will prepare a Joint ordinance for the purchase of the park site.
In Fivnr of lOO Acres. There was much discussion last night
regarding the extent of the purchase
of the proposed park. While Alderman Castleman will make a strong effort to
purchase the entire 272 acres east of Lake avenue, (lie other two members of the board, E. G. Elbe and Frank
Zawadskl. are not in favor of placing the city In debt for any more than 100 acres. There also seems to be a dif
ference in opinion as to the price. Al
derman "Cattleman is offering the pro-
poBod tract for $1,200 per acre, while real estate dealers say it can he purchased for $1,100 and even $1,000 per acre.'
AVill Knd In Squabble. The purchase of the park is bound
to end up in a squabble sooner or later and may result in the abolishing of the park board and the ousting of Castleman, as the other two members are getting disgusted at his methods.
A new angle to the situation becem
known todaj'. . It !s said at the next
meeting of the city council Castleman
will present an ordinance that the park board be increased to seven members.
Bowser IJon't AVnnf It. Castleman for some reason or other
insists that Alderman E. L Bowser
must be a member of the board, and
the latter most emphatically says that
he will not.
Bollce SzymanskI, son of Alderman D.
Szymanski, seems to be anxious to become a member of the pirk board, and Castleman and several other aldermen
have even offered to create the office of city sealer at 125 p;r month for young Szymanski will get. tho park idea out of his head, but tne latter has
refused to do so.
The whole situation 13 in a grand
mlxup and there promises to be some interesting as wcl' as amusing developments before 'many days.

CASE
(Continued from Page 1.)
day to be ready to testify. The state
has made out a strong case so far against Tokonovich notwithstanding the strenuous efforts of the defense
to discredit by a grilling cross-examin
ation. Mam- humorous invidents oc
curred during the trial.
Probably the most significant thing about the trial is the fact that on tho
suggestion of the prosecution the Jury
men were required by Special Judge Charles Hanly to remain in the court
room until after the verdict is re turned.
This was done to prevent anything In
the way of Intimidation or bribery and
indicates the importance of the case in
its relation to those which are to fol
low.
Among those who testified was Paul
Bodich. Fred Friedley. Emerson Bowser
and others. Sheriff Thomas Grant was the principal witness for the state yes
terday.
Grant told of Yokonovlch halting htm
with a revolver and ordered him not to
enter the election booth. Grant said
he knocked up the gun, covered Bodich with his revolver while he led Yokonovich to an auto and took him to the republican headquarters under arrest. IngwaldMoe, a contractor, testified to seeing "Dog Face Charley" election
day. Said latter was noisy and looking
for trouble. Grant's cross-examination was con
eluded at 2:15. He repeated the story
of his encounter with Yokonovlch. Said he did not know the politics of bis deputies when- he appointed them. Said he had not been over actijre In assist
ing the prosecution, but admitted that
he had secured affidavits against the change of venue application. Did not
recall whether he had contributed to
the fund raised to assist the prosecu
tion, but did not solicit contributions Witness was excused after he had re
plied In the affirmative to the Judge's query as to whether Bodich was armed. Emerson Bowser was re-callod, and his statements were ruled out on the
ground that it proved nothing.
