The contract was awarded to H. F. Burk, of this city, whose bid was $2,49. South Bend An important conference in the interests of the proposed cajial connecting lakes Mlphlgan and Erie, which would cross northern Indiana, will be held in this city Wednesday. - Invitations have been xtended Senators B. F. Shively, of Scth Bend, and Theodore E. Burton, of Ohio, and congressmen whose districts are concerned In the proposed improvements. A committee wil be here, from the Chicago Association of Commerce.
In speaking of the political situation in Lafayette and vicinity George Stout the political editor of the Indianapolis Star who is traveling up and down the state getting next to the political situation says today: ''Naturally, when a possible opponent against Representatives E. D. Crumpacker of Valparaiso is hinted at the name of Senator Wood suggests itself in this community. "The Crumpacker forces are friendly to Wood so long as the Wood men
boost the state senator for Governor. It is when Wood's name is mentioned as a congressional quantity that the Crumpacker element inclines to keep silence.
"Judging by talk among Lafayette
Republicans, who reflect conditions
within the party with more or less ac-
curacy, it appears that there is a feeling here that Representative Crura-, packer could be defeated for the nomination next time; that the lower counties and part of the upper district might be successfully organised against the incumbent member.
"The feeling against Crumpacker is
not heated nor vindictive, apparently. It is simply that some of the Republicans begin to believe the time has come when, with a leader, and with organi
sation, they might be able to oust Mr.
Crumpacker from that official swivel throne on which he has been comfort
ably couchant for about fourteen years. If they criticise Mr. Crumpacker It Is in
a good natured way, with reference to his leng service without notable recognition, as to some of his appointments, and as to his failure to visit his people
up and down the district.
"It is argued that a new man would hav as good a chance with the new population at the north end of the district as Mr. Crumpacker would have, In that one man would be as well acquainted with the newcomers as an
other. There is a feeling that Mr. Crumpacker has permitted his district to slip from his grasp, while he has teen tied up at Washington or elsewhere. Some of the younger Republicans keep asking what great measure Mr, Crumpacker ever has been identified with in his career as a representative "So it is that what now appears to be only talk of possibilities may roolve iself. later, into a definite movement to wrest Mr. Crumpacker's Job from him. The Crumpacker men are strong in asserting a belief that the people are for Crumpacker, and that the long and valiant service of the Valparaiso man, his standing with President Taft. and his experience, influence and regularity will make him entirely
too strong to be overcome. They admit that some men who desire advance
ment politically are talking of working
up antl-Crumpacker sentiment, but they profess not to be worried by the gossip. At the same time they are vigilant. "From a large and lively element in the Republican party comes a suggestion that Russel K. Bedgood of this city would make a splendid, hustling, effective district chairman for the Tenth in the coming campaign. Mr. Bedgood does not appear to take this suggestion
seriously. He says the. time and expense elements must enter into his con
sideration of such a proposition.
"One of the strongest combinations
suggested over this way is a movement
in the district having Senator Wood as
an aspirant for Crumpacker's seat
Bedgood for dstrict chairman, to be fol
lowed by Bedgood's succession to the
scat in the State Senate, now held by
Wood. Such a deal, if it could be arranged, would make Republicans all
over the Tenth District rub their eyes, This is a possibility fit to cogitate upon,
whether one is politically involved in
the situation or not.'

Park tn Still Sleeping. It was thought that the $350,000 four per cent park bond Issue, the child of Alderman Castleman, which has already been advanced to second reading, would be dragged from the table and placed upon Its final passage, but It wasn't.

Lake Woods Park Notes. The Lyric quartet was easily the headliner of the free vaudeville given last night in the band shell at Lake Woods park. This quartette of singers which has Just closed an engagement at the Wilson avenue theater In Chicago ranks with the best on the stage and offers a repertoire that is pleasing alike to the lovers of popular as well as classic music. They sang an arrangement of the famous sextet from "Lucia dl Lammormoor" with fine effect and later sang the great "Hero" song from "The Chocolate Soldier" with
splendid effect. Each member of this quartette is a trained singer and their ensemble work is remarkably fine. These singers will remain over Sunday. Nat Wharton, a ventriloquist who works in black face was another pleasing feature of the bill. Mr. Wharton offers a monologue that is sparkling with wit and his ventriloquist ability is marked. There are two acrobatic acts In the bill. The Portlers, a French team, offer some good ring and bar work and
do several feats that are not often
found on the vaudeville stage. The Warwlcks, a comedy acrobatic team have numerous Interesting stunts to otfer an dthey mix considerable Yun with their work. Taken as a whole the bill is well balanced snd Interesting throughout. Manager Hagedorn, announces that he has secured the Apollo quartet, one of the best known male quartets on the stage, for the near future. Buck Walsh and Charles McCarty of the Wilson avenue theater in Chicago who have been visiting Charles Hagedorn have a little vaudeville stunt of their own. Walsh says: "Gee, but the mosquitoes are thick out here." McCarthy replies: "That's funny, they were thin enough when we first came out." That Is where the applause comes in. Yesterday was Manager Gerald Berry's birthday and Mr. and Mrs. S. Mollner tendered him a dinner in the cafe. A number of guests were present and Mr. Berry's health was drunk with much acclaim. . L M- Stein of Chicago was the guest of B. 3. Smith of Lake Woods yesterday. Teddy and Sol Goldschmidt of
Chicago were also the guests of Albert Kahn. A. L. Fitch of Gary is the new police officer at the park. He takes the place of Charles O'Donnell who has resigned. A prize waits will be one of the features of the dance in the ball room Saturday night. Manager Scoeneman will ofTer a ten dollar gold piece to the. most graceful couple on the dancing floor.

A bunch of Lake County politicians put one over on Justice of the Peace A. C. Huber of Gary when they induced him to run for Justice of the peace. The Judge has Just woke up to the fact and as a consequence is sadly peeved. Huber has nursed a great desire to become auditor of Lake county for sevearl years, and had expressed his intention of becoming a candidate at the end of Auditor C A. Johnson's term. In the meantime, while waiting for that time to come, he was persuaded at the last election to make the race for Justice of the peace of Calumet township, and of course was fortunate (or unfortunate) enough to be elected. He qualified an dentered upon the duties of the office, thinking of course that when the time came he could make the race for auditor, and if elected could resign the justiceship and take the more remunerative county office. The constitution of Indiana provides that anyone holding any Judicial office in the state shall not be eligible for any other office other than in the Judicial branch, during the term for which he is elected. In other words, the constitution says that a person holding a judicial office cannot resign and accept an executive office. Judge Huber has two years more to serve ere his term as Justice of the peace expires, and before that time comes a new auditor of Lake county will have been elected. It was a foxy political trick to elect htm Justice of
the peace, but Mr. Huber has acquired a greater knowledge, both of the constitution, and of the ways of the politicians.
