CAUSE FOR KIATI01

HORNED DINOSAUR. WHIQU XSr BD ALtGS OF YEARS ACQ, RESTORED AT NATIONAL MUSEUM-"BONE EXPERT' AT WORK

East Chicago Council's Attude Is Not at All Liked by Taxpayers; Grave Situation Faces the City in View of Pending Trials.

(Special to The Times.) East Chicago. Ind., June 19. There Is a growing murmur in East Chicago and Indiana Harbor, concerning what is variously regarded as apathy on the part of the council, and as a deliberate "stalling" for personal reasons, by some of the aldermen, in the matteof preparing for the mergency that will confront the Twin Cities, if the case now pending against Mayor Schlieker. goes against him. The murmur has reached the stage of a clamor, and the people- are asklnK each other what it all means. There was no quorum at the last meeting of the city council. Alderman Burns has been awarded credit of responsibility for this fasco and the people are now awaiting tonight's council meeting with a degree of curiosity and interest, seldom manifested in council proceedings. There are those who arexceedingly "desirous to ascertain ju-. who if any will be the goats tonight.

On the following men rests the re- ! sponsiblllty of a quorum or no quoru.n; at a time when the city is confronted 1 by the gravest situation it has fvnr '

been called upon to face: First ward. W. H. Olds; second ward, I'm:! Mysilwy; third ward, Joseph French; fourth ward, ran Varady; fifth war,, Carl Asderson; sith ward, Ferdinand Ketcik: seventh ward, John Oalvin; Aldermen at large. Thomas Buckley. Monroe R. Sfchock and James Burns. As tho situation now stands, Thomas Phillips, the present controller who would succeed to the office of mayor, should Schlieker be removed- "While .". controller Mr. Phillips has ' b-'en rrainentlv satisfastnry, there is year .- !v oryore lu't who would oppose hi n i'l the capacity of mayor, not because ' any fault they have to nd with liir, personality or character, but because there is a well defined feeling that now would bj a poor time to place the city in the hands of a young man wit'a alii. est no political eperience, and comparatively littlei business eperience. Tn otllpr w-orrl-4 t hprp ta little if anv Hmiht

that in case Mr. Phillips should become mayor, Schlieker would still be in control of the situation as surely as lie has ever bef n. Xow the question is, to what extent ran Mayor Schlieker influence the mattor of a quorum at tonight's meeting? There seems little' doubt that he is desirous of allowing matters regarding the question of comptrollership. to remain in statu quo. If there is no meeting tonight, it will begin to look as though the mayor still holds the whip hand and that for some reason or other, the aldermen are constrained to do his bidding.

Millions ot years ago a great anisal roamed tba earth, which has become known to scientists as the horned dinosaur. A skeleton, found embedded in rock, has been mounted at the National Museum at Washington. The skeleton was taken out of its rock bed with a pneumatic chisel and many months were required for its completion. Prof. J W. Scoilick, who heads the department in which mounting Is done, Is shown at his task.

LEE TALKS POLITICS KITH PRES. TUFT AT WASHINGTON

Washington, June 19. Edwin M. Lee,

chairman of the Indiana Republican

state committee, had a long and signi

ficant conference with President Taft

Saturday in regard to political condi

tions in Indiana. The President was deeply interested In what Mr. Iee had to say about the situation in the Hoosier state. The fiat chairman brought to the White House more real information about the

drift in Indiana than the President had

heard for many months. Mr. Lee was able to speak in an Informative way. because he has spent the last ninety days traveling ever the state and getting in touch with local conditions. He has been in more than forty counties and every congressional district, and in a painstaking and accurate way has gathered facts that throw light on public and party sentiment. S1II Hold Knith. He talked frankly to the President stating that for a time after the last election Indiana Republicans were somewhat disheartened by two succes

sive defeats, and that while they never

have lost faith in their ability to carry the state in 1912 on state issues, still there was doubt as to the attitude of the state in the national equation. But that doubt has passed, Mr. Lee said, with the President's recent Chicago speech. In discussing the Chicago speech with the President, Mr. Lee said It was the turning point in Indiana. He had observed that H elicited on all sides the most favorable comment. There was no doubt, he saiJ, that the President is coming into hH own in Indiana and he expressed tho belief that his visit to Indiana July 3 a. id 4 will clinch the support of Indiana for him in the next national election. He said that as far as he was able to detect there was absolutely no doubt that Mr. Taft will have a solid delegation from Indiana in the next Republican national convention. He reported tnat conditions are good from the Republican standpoint in every district in the state. Organisation matters were discussed incidentally. Chairman Lee will remain over to atten dthe silver wedding anniversary celebration of President and Mrs. Taft Monday night.

' South Bend, Ind., June 19. Dr. William Forriey Hovis, who for the last nine years has been pastor of St. Paul's Methodist Episcopal Memorial Church in this city, has definitely declined to

be a candidate for bishop before the

next General Conference of the church. Dr. Hovlss name was proposed by some of his friends and his candidacy met with instant favor, not only in this

city, but a letter to Col. Charles Arthur

Carlisle, chairman of a special committee of the official board of the church

Dr. Hovis has put an end to the activity in - his behalf by the, following

words: "I deeply appreciate the unbounded confidence which you and other friends have recently manifested in me. The complimentary resolutions of our church board and your kind letter of June 1 are expressions of high regard, which I value more than I can tell you. I would not have you think me coldhearted or unapprecative, but, in keeping with my declarations to the members of the official board and Quarterly Conference in the presence of our district superintendent. Dr. Paul C. Cumick, when the full import of what you were doing dawned on me, I must a?ain say that I am not a candidate for anything but the support and sympathy of my associates in the work of our church, and that my only ambition is to be a true man and a faithful servant in the kingdom. "I must,- therefore, with all , tender

ness, but with insistent firmness, jjsk you to relinquish any further effort on

my zehalf. I am not a candidate, and

muts absolutely refuse to recognize or

consent to any movement that will

have as its purpose the object of pre

gi.-ntlng my name to the next General

Conference as a candidate for the

episcopacy."

Ignatz showed fight and Rybecki realizing that he could not handle the man alone without clubbing him, decided it would be

better to take him quietly with assistance. So he repaired to a nearby telephono and asked for reinforcements and Chief McCormaek went out. When he arrived Ignatz had left. Officer Patrick McKenna was set to watch the house and later McKenna notified the office that Ignatz had returned. Fire Chief Flack volunteered to drive over f-nd assist McKenna in making the arrest lf any assistance was necessary, it being Saturday night, and inadvisable, for the desk sergeant to leave the office lest an emergency call be turned in.

$20,000 ORIGINAL FIGURE (Special to The Times.) East Chicago, June 19. Some interest has been aroused by the statement that the new Methodist church would cost between $20,000 and $30,000, .as published Saturday, and A. 'G. Slocomb, the chairman of the building committee, -wishes to have Corrected the impression that the church is to cost more than originally agreed on. When the building was first contemplated it was decided to limit the cost to $20,000. Later it was given out that it would be impossible to erect the structure as planned within. this figure and that, the cost of construction would range between $20,000 and $30,000. Mr. Slocomb is authority for the statement, however, that it is still the intention to confine the cost to approximately $20,000. .

Connersville An old and long neglected city ordinance has been -evlved and is to be strictly enforced here. It provides, in numerous clauses, for conservation of the city's water supply. Since the city has adopted the deep wells system, it finds that an enormous amount of water is being consumed. More than 200 gallons a day are being used by every inhabitant of the city on an average.
