CUT IN ORE FREIGHT RATES TO AFFECT PRICE Readjustment y Necessarily Will Follow, Iron Trade Review Declares-

The importance of the rut ore freight Yates on the two railroads of the United States Steel Corporation in the Iake Superior region Is emphasized in the iron trade periodicals In their issues today. The Iron Trade Review says: ' "The reduction in ore freight rates on Vermillion and Mesabl .ranges, which shortly will become effective, is of far reaching- Importance to porduets and consumers. - A readjustment In ore prices for 1912 necessarily will follow, causing a decline in rate from 40c to SOc On thk re required, to ' a flat rate of 60c a ton for iron made on both -ranges. ' , . "Specifications and current orders for merchant steel in the Chicago district showed a slight falling off during

the last week. Low prices are the rule

and each mill is making prices accord

lng to its own geographical position, without much regard to the Pittsburg

base. Some of the larger western rail

roads are considering their J 912 rail

requirements, although no definite ad

yanees have yet been made to the

'manufacturers."

Monroe was chairman. Her territory Included the Union depot of Gary the suburbs of Aetna, Clark, Tollcston, Miller and Hobart. Taggers in this district obtained $938.99. General chairman Mrs. Edward Sargent of the tagging committee issued the following statement this morning: 'I am delighted with the results. I never worked with a more enthusiastic and loyal body of women. I congratulate each one upon their splendid seal for tbt worthy cause. The tagging started shortly after five o'clock yesterday morning. Taggers were posted at the gates of all Indus

trial plants, at street corners and in

office buildings. Automobiles were pro

vided for the six district chairmen and their staff assistants. Headquarters

were maintained in the Gary Commercial club where Mrs. Sargent and her staff remained from daybreak until

nearl ymfdnight. As soon as a bank

was. filled it would be brought lnt-

headquarter and the money counted

and credited to the tagger.

Returns were low In Mrs. Kendrick's district because of the fact that the--"J" railway employes an dthe bridge and tin plate workers had not been paid recently. However, the chairman and her taggers did the best work. The suburbs responded nobly to the cause. It is said that the biggest collections per capita was made at Aetna with Its 161 population.

those who saw the two men .together that there Is a potKical significance in the conference. It will be remembered that a couple of weeks ago , the story was started that O'Brien would be a. candidate for election as Democratic national committeeman from Indiana, to succeed Taggart. The story was that O'Brien would contest with Dixon for the place, because Dixon has for months been

i pointed to as the successor of Taggart.

There have for months been every indication that Dixon would receive the support of Governor Marshall for national committeeman. Dixon has been one of the most active Democrats In the

propogation of the candidacy of Gover- ;

nor Marshall for the nomination for

President. He has, in fact, been the father of the Marshall boom, afid has done more work than any other man, perhaps, to push it along. At Washington he has had charge of the boom, and has wired Marshall's- nomination on Democratic congressmen . from all over the "intry. Naturally.-then, it was to be expected that Marshall would favor Dixon for national committeeman. Dixon has always been a part of the Democrat!-; machine In Indiana, though he has not been as closely identified with the Taggart crowd as some others. In 1909 Dixon was In favor of the election of L Ert Slack for United States senator at the time of the election of Senator Shlvely, because Slack Is from his district. Taggart opposed the election of Slack, and farored Shlvely. And since it Is well known that Marshall does

not care to have any of the Taggart

crowd take charge of his campaign tor the nomination for President, it Is only

natural that he might select , Dixon as his choice for national committeeman

instead of anyone that Taggart might

choose.

For a long time there did not seem

to be any opposition to the election of Dixon as national committeeman," and it looked like Marshall's Interests were to b"e well taken care of. But then

came the announcement mat o liricn

had ben chosen by Taggart as the man

to take the place away from Xixon. It Is known that Taggart said recently

that he was going to retire as national committeeman and that O'Brien was

the right man to succeed him.

When O'Brien was asked about it he

sidestepped the question and merely

said that theie would not be any fight

between hinv and Dixon over anything.

He did not say, however, that he would

not run for the place. He said it was a matter for the Democrats of Indiana to settle, and that he would not lose any

slep over it. When this attitude of O'Brien became known it was taken to mean that Dixon probably would get out of the way and l;t O'Brien be elected. And that Is still the theory, of most of the politicians who have 'been observing the developments. Since Dlxen and O'Brien held their conference yesterday

thi country urging them to support him. He has sent hundreds of such letters and has received many answers, some of tehm of an encouraging nature. While O'Brien is a Taggart lleutenanr, yet he is active for Marshall, and some of the. Democrats are o fthe opinion that all of this is a part of the Taggart scheme to get support for Marshall first and then to have it Wned up in such -i way as to enable him to throw it to another candidate, of hi sown liking, when It Is found that Marshall cannot be nominated. ,At all events the conference between O'Brien and Dixon yesterday has' attracted a good deal of

attention, and It surely will not be long

until Us 'rults are uncovered.

That there is a healthy sentiment

among Indiana Democrats In favor of

the nomination of Woodrow Wilson for President, as again Governor Marshall, Is snown by reports that are received

here from various places. A well

known Deemocrat In Washington

township, Marion county, who lives Just at the north, edge of the city of Indianapolis, made the statement a few days ago that it would be useless for anyone to come into this township and

undertake to get delegates to the state convention who would be in favor of the nomination of anyone else than

Wilson. This man Is 3he Democratic

leader of his township, and he always controls the party affairs of that town

ship. He Is for Wilson, and he say3

that a majority of the Democrats of the

township are with him. He says he likes Governor Marshall all right, but

that he does not believe he has any chance to be nominated, and that thl3 will mean the nomination of some one who will represent the Taggart-Roger Sullivan-Tammany Idea in politics. Therefore, he says, his township will

not stand for It, and that It will elect delegates to the state convention wh. will be fore Wilson. The delegates to the state convention will meet by districts and elect, their delegates to the national convention.' Marion county Is a district of itself, and Washingtno township is 'one of the most populous

townships .In the county. So it will be seen that there is other sentiment in Indiana, aad right here in the stats

capital, than for Marshall. . '

have been a few chronic kickers who have objected to the city sending delegates, and in Hammond last year the city refused to send official delegates. Hammond has now awakened to the fact that waterways means something to their city as well aji to Indiana Harbor and East Chicago and will undoubtedly come across with a delegate or two. . The fact that the importance of the canal and the Calumet river Is finally becoming apparent to the people of thl3 community and to the National; Rivers and Harbors congress, is all due to the persistent and consistent efforts of the long sighted Individuals who have been plugging the cause along, patiently and doggedly In spite of the kicks of the

"agin the government" element. These

persistent spirits have not been alone

in their troubles. The same opposition was faced by others who have found representation in the organization and the result has been that last year con

gress passed a larger appropriation for

the Improvement of the harbors and

rivers than was ever passed in years past. The city shared to a good degree in this appropriation and Indiana Harbor's harbor and canal are now government property, and stand forth as i

monument to what the courage and

perseverance and far slghtedness of a

few good men and true, can accomplish

When Is a Drank Intoxicated;

Attorhey Charles ,E. Greenwald, for

the state, and Attorney C. B. Tinkham,

for the defense, engaged in a facetious discussion of the momentous question

as to whether or not being intoxicated

and being drunk are the same thing.

Although Dillion knew more about this question' than either of the con

tending attorneys, he was not asked to give any expert testimony along this

line.

The point that the state was trying

to determine hy Dilllon's testimony

was the question as to whether or not

he had recenly been employed by

Street Commissioner aHrding on the

city work of East Chicago.

Dilllon's answers were so hazy that they will be absolutely valueless as evidence. The case does not seem to

take on the serious aspects that it was

expected to take. The attorneys seem

bent on making light work of it.

However, it may develop later that
