Frank Hanly, once governor of Indiana, once mors denounced the republican party for Its failure to keep the liquor question in politics. The denunciation was mad in a speech which he delivered at the annual anti-saloon rally at the Indiana Methodist conference at Bloomington, and it was almost as dramatic as his famous "I hato" speech, .which , he delivered at the republican state

called because of a pledge he had taken at the Methodist conference, held at Baltimore. The pledge, taken with the lay delegates... of which he -fras one, had been that he would fight the liquor traffic in every way. "I was in office. I was in a position to strike, ami a voice said, to me, 'You

His written defy to the republican party and the party leaders came at the close of his speech and In the audience at the time were Republican State Chairman Edwin M. Lee, exCongressman James E. Watson and a number of other leading republicans of the state. His statement was as follows: "Today my party In this state stands in the valley of decision doubting and uncertain. Last year it failed in its duty. It sought not right, but expediency the expediency of silence. It turned its back upon a work more worthy than it had wrought In this commonwealth in a third of a century. As 'a result of Its perfidy it was defeated. Its defeat was sad. but sadder was the fact that It deserved defeat. That fact stained its nation-wide fame with -shame. Today "the Hp of its honor lies low in the dust.'

left the house for Hammond, locking the doors securely, and at 10 her husband returned as was his custom, from his work. The burglars had entered during the Interim and had ransacked the house from top to bottom. They had even removed the china from the cupboards, . had taken the mattresses from the beds, clothing from the closets, turning the pockets Inside out, and dragged out all the shoes, evidently to search them. Even the basement had been turned topsy turvy. They had entered by the back door, having evidently pushed the kep out of the lock, and turned the lock with a skeleton key. As soon as Mr. Blttinger had discovered that the house had been robbed he made a search of the premises, his search revealing a man In the alley, who was evidently badly Intoxicated. The man was arrested as a suspect and gave his name as Fred Grayhurst. He is being held on suspicion. Mr. Bittinger recalled that for three successive nights he had seen a stranger loitering about the vicinity when he was on his Way to work. On one occasion he questioned the strangers to why he was hanging around, and was told it was none of his business. Mr. Bittinger is inclined to suspect that the man may have had something to do with the robbing of his home. STATE LOSS ON TONNAGE TAXATION fContlnued from Page l. en to compel the ship companies to pay taxes in that state. A. meeting which probably - will bo held In Chicago may be called soon by tax commissioners of Indiana, Illinois, Ohio. Michigan, Minnesota and Wiscon sin and perhaps other " states, for the purpose of determining to what extenl the steel companies, which own a majority of the barge and tug lines on the lakes,' are escaping taxation in those States. .It. is said that the huge steel--boats on the-Jake arc escaping taxation In al the state merttloned. though many of . them. It . is said, roiicg-at .harbors within the, boundaries -of several of these states. - Myron. X). King, -deputy auditor of state, said he believed the revenue front the tonnage tax is not what it should be by several thousands of dollars. Total figures en file at the auditor's qfflce show that the state has derived but $1,461.73 from the the tonnage tax since the - first of last January. The larger portion was collected from vessels docking at Michigan City. Supplementally to the receipts from that port are a few hundred dollars collected as tonnage tax from ship companies, thvessels of which ply up and down the Ohio river. That the Michigan City shipping represents much less than one third of the total shipping Incoming at Gary, Indiana Harbor and Michigan City Is the belief of the state officials. The Indiana statutes, effective In 1901 provide for a tax of 3 cents per net ton. on all shipj Incoming at Indiana ports. This means that the total tonage of the vessels, stripped of the weight of their cargo, is taxable at 3 cents a ton. The same ratio' of taxation applies to vessels belonging to-companies not Incorporated in the state, as to those having their shipping registered with the Indiana secretary of stae. The text of the section of the act pertaining to the latter class of companies follows: " "Such companies shall pay into tho state treasury anually, on or before tho first day of June, a sum equal to 3 cent-i per net ton of the registered tonnage of ill rwwtls-owned by such, companies, such payment to be received In lieu o' all other taxes, except as herein provided, and no further assessments shall be made by any officer on any vessel, barge; boat or ether -water craft, be-

The r-ctIon relating to the similar taxation of shipping entering Hoosler ports, but belonging tj companies whose craft are not registered in Indiana fol'ows; "All ships sod others vessels engage J in .commerce and owned or registered under the navigation laws of the United States at any port In the state of Indi ana shall be taxed as hereinbefore provided at the rate of 3 cents per net to a of the registered tonnage of the vessels, and all owners of such ships shall make returns as in this act provided." Fred A. Sims, a member of the Indi ana Board of State Tax Commissioners, is understood to have visited the regis tration offices of the Government, while in Washington recently, to collect data whereby the auditor of state may have intimate knowledge of the ships entering Indiana ports and escaping taxation. For some time such a course of action has been anticipated by state officials and it is known that Mr. Sim Intended taking' such a step when he departed for the convention at Richmond, Ya.

BOYS AND GIRLS ARE BADLY NEEDED Gary needs within a few months time 500 girls and to procure another industry it must have at least that many more. Where to get the 500 women and girls neded by the Gary Bolt and Screw works now nearlng completion is the task that will be taken up by the Gary Commercial club. While the city can supply a large number of the, female help required all of Iake and Porter counties will be asked to make up the deficit. Secretary A.- D.
