FAIRBANKS SHOW

S FEELING

FOR TAFT

ND ANA

TIME 9 DIHBAI-, , AT STATE CAPITAL. Indianapolis, Ind., July 7. Various brands of comment are heard on the visit of President Taft to Indiana, but all agree that the president made some very striking and excellent speeches while he was in this state, and that he Is stronger now than he ever has been before in this state. That he has strengthened his friendships in many cases In Indiana and that he has made . many now friends seems to be the concensus of opinion among those who have tried to figure out the result of the visit. It Is pointed out that Charles W. Fairbanks, former vice president, in an impromptu speech which he made at the Marion club banquet Tuesday night, stated the situation clearly when he told the president that the republicans of Indiana are behind him in the great issue of his administration, meaning, of course, recl-

. procny witn lanaaa, and tnat the republicans of this state will stand by

him.

This was understood by the six hun-

orea men present at the banquet to Jmean that it was a promise from Mr. Fairbanks .that Indiana will be for Taft for re-election next year, and the jentlment was cheered to the acho by , the banqueters. For a long time there

lias been no doubt at all that Indiana

would support Taft for re-nomination

next year, and the statement of Mr,

Fairbanks was only another evidence 'of this fact In a definite and positive

fform.'The statement appeared to please

ithe president, for he evidently took it a sa slnoer eexpression of the feeling of the republicans of Indiana. There were present at the banquet republicans from many of the counties of the state. They represented all factions, not being confined to any one element and everybody joined In the applause of the speech of Mr. Fairbanks. President Taft left Indiana with the assurance ringing in his ears that Indiana is for him next year. This much was apparent as a result of the president's visit. Another feature of the matter the real situation In which is still in doubt is the effect the visit wll lhave in the direction of harmonizing the varous factons of the party n this state. Whether the visit will have a good effect in that direction Is still a question. Different opinions are expressed on that point. Some are of the opinion that the visit of the president will bring the republicans of the state into closer union and that It will therefore result In much good to the party. These men say that the president came aa the guest of the Marlon club, which Is not a factional

organization, but which includes in its

membership republicans who have followed the various leaders. They say

that the president pointed out to them

all that there are certain Drlnclolea

which are fundamentally republican.

and thst these principals are what he

is standing for, and that all republi

cans should stand on them. lie talked

on the subject of reciprocity, which has been a republican principle for years.

and it Is pointed out that the republi

cans of Indiana are in favor of it almost to a man. Thus the visit assumed

a oroaa gauge ana went above any

petty factionalism which might exist.

There are some who believe that the wing of the party commonly known as the progressives were not given the same degree of prominence in the ar

rangements for the president's visit that was given to the old guard, and they express a fear that this may bring

aDOut a Dad result. Hut as far as can be learned no republican was ignored or overlooked In the arrangements for the visit, and all were treated alike. It so happened that some of the members of the old guard were prominent in escorting the president about the city, but this was not by any prearranged plan. On the whole, however, the bulk of the comment is that the president's visit ought to do good for the party. But it will take some time for this comment to crystalize Into anything like a definite showing. There was considerable talk among the republicans at the banquet, especially those from out of the state, on

the subject of a candidate for governor next year. Agood many talked about Charle.s A. Bookwalter of this city and much of the comment was favorable.

They recognized in him a hard fighter and a good politician, and some of them were of the opinion that he could be elected if any republican could be elected. But the man who received most of the favorable comment was Hugh Th. Miller of Columbus, former lieutenant governor. It is not known whether Mr. Miller will consent to run for the nomination, but there were many In the crowd at the banquet who expressed the opinion that Miller was the strongest man for the nomination. Miller has never been identified with any element of the party, but has always been on good terms and has stood well with everybody. He is a high grade business man, and this Is on? of the elements that has appealed to a good many republicans in looking about for a candidate for governor. " There was a little talk of W. T. Durbin and also some for W. L. Taylor of this city, but most of It was In favor of Miller, .with Bookwalter next.

The Manufacturing of Steel

Axles Added to Lake

County's List of Products; Railroads Beginning to Send in Heavy Orders. A new mill of the Gary works of the Illinois Steel company will be placed in operation for the first time on Monday and with it three hundred more men will be added to the company's pay rolls. The axle mill, which was completed more than a year ago but never placed In operation, as the steel industry did not warrant it, will begin to turn out its first output next week. Steel axles will then be added to Iake county's list of products. While the steel directors anticipated a temporary lull in the axle industry before they ever built the mill they realized that the time would come when there would be a boom in the business. Railroads are now sending in heavy orders and axles are in great demand. Superintendent Gleason Is in charge of the new mill, which stands in the west part of the steel plant and near

the Grand Calumet river. Yesterday he

began the task of hiring skilled axle

hands.

The Gary axle mill Is. the most mod

ern ever built.' A full description ot

It, together with several Illustrations,

ty Lutheran church prospered. The present edifice was erected under his supervision. He also ' established a parochial school, teaching the same himself for fifteen years. The flourishing congregation at Hobart, Ind., was gathered by him and numerous others In this and surrounding counties. After his successful career In the Trinity congregation he became missionary for Lake county and those surrounding It. Whilst being thus engaged he estab

lished many congregations and parochial schools. In 1902 he retired from active service. For the last two years he has been ailing, principally with heart trouble. His condition grew more unfavorable for the last eight weeks. The last four days he was unable to arise and on Tuesday, July 4. 6:60 a. m., he breathed his last. His death came like a peaceful slumber amid the circle of his family. His whole life was an open book; he served with honesty, and the example he set for his followers with his righteous character has given to the church a host of excellent members and to the community the most desirable citizens. ' - The funeral service will be held at Trinity Lutheran church Friday, July 7. 1 p. m. The service, which will be conducted by Rev. Blester of Crown Point (German), Rev.. Both of Chicago (English), and Rev. Hlcken of Kouts, . has been arranged according to plans desired by the deceased. The pall bearers will be older members of congregations which were under his charge: Messrs. Valentine Sauerman, George Gosch, Fred Luepke, Fred Homeler, Carl Matz and Herman Jacobs.

thought that the body will be discovered Booner or later If the man was actually killed. In the meantime Grant has written to Pennsylvania, from which state the hobos claim they come, and their records back east will be gone into.

CROSSING

(Continued from Page L)

SHERIFF GRANT

Indiana Harbor car was 'squatting" on the crossing to prevent just that. The railroads crew had their instructions from Gibson, and the street car crew from local headquarters.

The car was crowded with passengers who were clamoring to.be taktn to

their destination. Judge Riley, sympa

thizlng with the passengers, told the street car crew to go on and he would see that the crossing was not run without permission of the South Shore. The motorman demurred, but the conductor declared he was willing to take

a chance on h'.s Job with Judge Riley back of him and gave the signal to go

on. In the meantime another car had

arrived end was awaiting the passage

of the first car for 'a clear track to

proceed on its Journey.

The first car had no sooner gone on

than the Belt roadmaster, also sur-

named Riley, ordered his men to pro

ceed with their Job. Judge Riley

threatened arrest to the entire outfit

and'thereby induced the roadmaster to

repair with him to the offices of the

German-American car shops for a par

ley with his boss by 'phone.

Judge Riley got Gibson on the wire and after learning that the engineer

ing department, who had ordered the

work done, had no written authority from headquarters, advised that it would not be well to take advantage of C. W. Hotchkiss' absence to resort to

yJVt JM.JL fc X iltxv X f when such methods were known to be

opposed to the usual practices of the

general manager of the Belt. His ar

guments won the day and prevented

tie-up of the Indiana Harbor branch of

the South Shore, which would have

endured for several hours, had he not

Interfered. Later in the d-xy the two roads came to an understanding re

garding the crossing and It wsa agreed

to allow the work - to proceed this

morning without interference ' by the

with blood, and that he was apparently dead. The -sheriff's office was at once notified and Deputy Sheriff Furman was sent out to investigate. The arrest of four hobos followed. One suspicious thing about the . hobos was that they all had just $4.05 on their persons, which would indicate that they might have robbed the man, killed him, disposed of his body and then divided the money. Many Theories Advanced. The supposed victim of this robbery

was in tne twelfth car from the engine, according to Bremer, and although Bremer looked for blood stains he could find none. There was an end door in' the car, however, and one theory is that the body of the dead man. If he was killed, 1 might have been hidden in the graii in a car ahead or In the coal In the car wrflch followed. : The hobos were arrested on the charge of train riding and will be held

(Special to Thb Times.) East Chicago, Ind., July 7. Re-gina OConnell, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Michael OConnell la mourning the loss of a watch which was presented to her by her parents at the time of her grad

uation from St. Mary's parochial school three years ago. ' !

The watch was left, together with abou 13.23 in money and a nandkerchief, in a blue silk bag on a swing in the

OConnell back yard. The yard has a

gate communicating with Exchange

avenue. Miss OConnell had spent part

of the evening In the yard and when she missed her purse next day she remembered the swing and having placed the purse containing it on the swing. She hastened to lok for It, but It wan

gone. Inquiry developed the fact that at 3 or 4 o'clock that morning an employe of the Maine restaurant had seen a man enter the yard, the gate of which stood open, and emerge with something which looked in the dim light, like- a. bag. He opened this an extracted a number of articles from its interior, which he conveyed to his pockets. The Main employe did' hot think much of the Incident, as it all happened to quickly although at first he had been suspicious of the individual when he saw him enter the yard. ) The watch was a small gold one with star and crescent on the front and set with five small diamonds. On the back was the monogram R. O. ,C. and Inside was Inscribed "from Papa and Mamma to Regina. June 19, 1908." A liberal reward has been offered for the return of the watch by the finder.
