ARREST OF ALLEGED PLOTTERS FANS FLAME THAT THREATENS TO 1 ' END REIGN OF KING ALFONSO AND DESTROY SPANISH MONARCHYt

(Special to Tub Times.) ' East Chicago, Sept. 28. East Chlcagro and Indiana Harbor are to have their respective great white ways before winter sets In. So much was decided at a Joint meeting of the civic committee Of the East Chicago club and the special lighting: committee of the Commercial, Club of Indiana Harbor and East Chicago. . which met for the purpose of considering' this question. The . meeting took place in the East Chicago clubrooms, Mayor Schlieker presiding as chairman and R. W. Freeman acting as secretary.- There wa. present a representative of the Morris Co. of New York, who showed designs of posts and lighting systems his company has. put In and is prepared to put In,1 la other towns. Mr. W. A. Crawford of the Northern Indiana Gas and Electric company, which is to furnish

the Illumination, was also present. ' It 1 was agreed that his company, draw! .specification covering the Bystem that' It Is proposed to Install In the Twin; Cities, and from this the Morris com-' 'pany and other competitive bidders will! estimate the cost of the posts, etc. I It has been decided not to use the concrete posts 'as originally intended. ' as these are said to be less durable than the Iron posts. The companies erecting them will not guarantee them for over two years and they are liable to have their corners . knocked oft by, wagons colliding with them and slmi- . lar accidents. Besides this, It Is said to be more difficult to repair the lights . If they get out of whack. For these reasons It' has -been determined' to adopt Iron posts, of an ornate design' and good workmanship,, the same to support three powerful lights of slty watts each.' The top light which Is to surmount the post will be a very large one," while two smaller ones will be

arranged one o neach side of the cen'ter light. ' . . The posts are to be about a dozen feet In height, and will be fourteen inches In dameter at the base, tapering to seven and a half inches at the top. Streets to Be Benefited. The lamps will be placed fifty feet apart. In the Harbor they will be'stationed In Michigan avenue from the C, 1 S. & E. tracks to the Family theater; In Guthrie street from Michigan to Elm; and probably in Block avenue from Michigan avenue to the gates of the Inland mill. The streets on which the lights will ha placed in East Chicago are Chicago avenue from Tod to about 100 feet west of Forsyth; Forsyth from 145th street and probably to 148th street, and perhaps In Olcott avenue, although that has not ben decided. The lighting company ' will turn In a report on Thursday evening or Friday after which

Thomas R. Marshall and nominated him.. , - Pasbea O'Xell Out. ' , "It Clore gets Into the rice for the nomination for llutenant governor and ,wlth Metsker In the running. It does not look like W. P. O'Neill, of Mlshawaka, has much of a chance at the nomination, Clore would probably take much of the support that would

otherwise go to O'Neill, and th Thirteenth district would be divided between Metsker and O'Neill, both of whom live In that district. A dispatch from Laporte says that State Senator Daniel L. Crumpacker. who has been talked of as a candidate for the Republican nomlnatlonfor Governor, will not b a candidate. He gave

out a statement to the effect that he

did not want the place and that ho would not be an aspirant for It. It Is' said, too. that his health has not been good and that his family objects on that account to his entering on a race

hat might be as strenuous as the race

for Governor would probably be.

TIMES HI RGAli , i latlon or merely, a ' bump on a log, as AT STATE CAPITAL. the Senate itself saw fit to make It.. So,

Indianapolis. Ind., Sept. 25. Since it it is figured, even if Taggart and his has become proper among the politic-1 crowd should take Clore as the candilans to talk about the possibilities of 'date for lieutenant governor and elect this or that man being nominated for J him they could afterward so trim his

ths office of Lieutenant Governor, a new name has been mentioned for that honor on the Democratic ticket. It is that of Leonard B. Clore, of Franklin, better known among the farmers of the state as the "corn king." It may be that this will not be pleasant news to-Clay Metsker, of Plymouth, and his friends, who have been, and arc

claws as to make him harmess to their

plans I the Senate. This was done at

the last session of the Legislature

when the Senate adopted a set of rules

which took away from the lieutenant governor every bit of power except th

power to put the question and to cast

the deciding vote In case of a tie. It

took away the power to appoint com

still Joosting htm for the nomination j mlttees and to do anything else import

for. Lieutenant Governor but Hhe fact

Is that Clore Is being talked of in tho last few days as a very likely candidate in the field. The reasons which friends . of. Clore- advance- for- their belief that he will bo nominated are rath-

HELLO CENTRAL!

GET A ME ON CANT YOU?

There was a roundup In the Gary ex

change of the Chicago Telephone com

pany last night and patrons who for

several days had been complaining that

they encountered delays In getting wires, got no wires at all when the exchange had an attack of "nervous prostration" which lasted for several minutes. ,

For ) several days the system has

keen on a rampage. Business men who

haven't much time to spare found that In many Instances it was a long time

after they had picked up the receiver

that the central girl voiced the usual

'number please?" Yesterday the serv

ice became exasperating. Some times

it took a minute and some times two minutes before central answered and a much greater wait was in store for those who asked for the long distance operator.

The mlxup at the exchange also told

on the . operator's nerves, with the result that they mixed up their connec

tions. Those calling local numbers would find themselves connected with

the number required, but they could do

no talking as the party desired would

probably be talking over the long dis

tance wires, and those . who wanted could listen tJ these- conversations. Complaints of wire tapping also have been made during the past few weeks. . The.c.p.mpXalnts have been as frequent at the Hammond and Chicago as well as the Gary ends of the Gary wire.

Containing every completenfor.a strong and Intensely interesting play, every worthy Incident has been thoroughly and eagerly grasped by Geo. IJ. Bakei-, who constructed same for stage purposes. Th theme of the play Is delightful. The plot Is laid in Kdelweiss, Graustark, a mythical principality, where two young Americans are discovered following the-beautiful unknown girl, who Is In reality, Frinccss Vetlve, the ruling soverign. Lorry, one of the Americans proves to be of great assistance to her, both In America, where he first meets her, and then In her 'own country. That she would finally cast aside her royal rights If need be, to marry him, is nearly a foregone conclusion. ' ;

Hi voted against every -bill that looked like it might- make- liquor selling easier

and in favor of every bill'-that looked like K migh make liquor selling more difficult. Clore did not hid his views under a bishel. He was outspoen and never hesitated to let it be known where ho stood. He made speeches against liquor bills - and worked hard' against them. He and Representative Merriman, cf Eluffton, were regarded as the

leaders of the dry Democrats In the Hose. He was honest and above board, and everybody, including the wettest of the wet Democrats, gave Clore credit with being earnest in' "his covlctlons on the liquor' question. 'He acquired thd good will of everybody for that reason. It is this dry,' temperance post ion of his that makes the mentioft.of his name now as a possible nominee for lieuten

ant governor sound a little bit peculiar for it, is pointed out that a man of his views could not .possibly be satisfactory as. a candidate to Tom Taggart and the crowd' that' follows his' lead. '" Xeed a "Dry" Man. . Taggart is so wet in his alms and his. policies, and so are the others that follow' him, ' and ' it looks' strange to see them supporting a man like Clore for anything. But; Clore's friends, who art. talking about him, take the position that withont the votes of. the dry Democrats " next year the Democrats could not possibly carry Indiana, and

The play is ore that strikes a happy chord In almost everybody. It is one where love and honor and bravery are rampant, where the atmosphere" is pregnant with heroism, and where dishonor and trickery meet with defeat and disaster. The presenting company Is an adejuate one. Miss Louis Zita Simons as Princess Yetive, is receiving the highest praise from both press and public everywhere. Bert King, .as Lorry, is the ideal American while his friend

and undertakes to put across a totally wet ticket it will faiK It Is pointed out that the nomination

of Clore would s&tUty ,tli dry element of the party and that they would voe the ticket all the way down the line. If elected lieutenant governor, Clore would become presiding officer of the Senate, and In that position he could be either an important factor in legis-

he. could then tie hfs hands to such an extent" as to make him helpless as well as harmless; How Dora Clnre Tr.ke It! Nothing has been heard from Clore himself on the subject of his possible nomination for lieutenant governor, so It Is not known how he takes to it. But the talk is going around that he probably will be in the race for the place. It is well known that there is a large element of dry' Democrats In the state that will probably balk on the Democratic ticket next year unless great

care is taken by the part leaders In the nomination of candidates and framing

of a platform. There have even been threats from this faction that they will

break away from.. the party -and bolt the ticket, if the wets undertake to run the whole show. Therefore.it Is safe to say that if the .Taggart , crowd accepts Clore as a candidate it will be because

that will be the only way to hold the

dry Democrats ln 'llne and to get their

votes at the election. . .

It has been believed all along, and t

is still the belief of -those who are fol

lowing the course of politics, that th TaRgrart crowd will -refuse to allow Clore to be nominated and that they

will center on Clay Metsker, of

Plymouth, as their candlda-te for lieu

tenant governor. Metsker'ls known to be the Taggart choice for the place. It Is known too that the Taggart worker are talking Metsker that is, the ones that are doing any talking at all. They

are under ' obligations to Metsker for things he has done for the machine In the pas, and they are talking about him a good deal as they are talking about Samuel M. Ralston for the nomination for Governor that he has been a good, faithful party worker, and that he deserves the nomination. Of course, one never knows where to put his

finger, of .Taggart. in a. political, game, and it might turn out so in the case of Metsker, but the politicians do not believe such will be the case. They expect the Taggart machine to stick to Metsker. Howeer, strangfer things have happened that to see Taggart drop
