Sixth dintriet Linus Meredith, Richmond, y Seventh district John C, Ruckelshaus. Indianapolis. Klghth district George Lilly, Andereon. Ninth iistrlet Charle Wheeler, ' Noblesvillo. Tetith district Charles Thompson. Lafayette. Twelfth district W. J. Vsy, Fort Wayne. Thirteenth d!strlct-:;;Pred Woodward, South Bend. Ko definite understanding: has been reached In either the Tenth or Eleventh district, so It Is said, but the election of Thompson seems to be reasonably certain In the Tenth. Th primaries for the election of delecrates to the district convention will be held next Friday and Saturday, and the
district conventions for the election of district chairmen will be held on the following: Wednesday In all of the districts. Then, on the second day " of February these district chatrmen will meet In this city and elect a state chairman. ' Thre is now some talk about John C. Ruskelshaua. of this city, for state chairman. That he will be elected district chairman for the Seventh district there is no doubt, because he has no opposition. He is a thorough politician, schooled In all of the features of practical polities. He was county chairman of Marlon county in two campaigns, and tnade a fine showing:. Ruckelshaus la known all over the state, because he has been mixed up In the game for a
gone after aythin-r in politics he has
got It. He landed the office of prose
cutor In the face of a hard fight, and
then he carried Marlon county . twic?
while he was county chairman.
However, there Is still the belief that Will H. Hays, of Sullivan will be the state chairman If he will agree to take
the place.
There is very reason to believe that
the New-Keallng clement wll'. have no
trouble in gaining; control of the state organization, and this means, of course.
that it will redound to the benefit of President Taft. since New and Keating
both are very close to the president.
As far as can be learned there is not In the above list of probable members any many who Is not wholly acceptable to JCealing and New. Organization ln
the effort to bring about the election of
a committee that would be favorable to
President Taft has ben going on for
months, and It looks like it will be suc
cessful.
There are opposition candidates , in
some of the districts, but it Is "believed that the above list Is reasonably cer
tain to be correct.
It has been announced by the com
mute In charge of the banquet which will be given at the Claypool hotel. In this city, next Thursday night, by the
Indiana Republican Editorial Associa
tion, is bound to be a big affair. More
than 200 tickets already have been sold.
and it is fully expected that the entire
allotment of 600 will be disposed of be
fore Thursday night. Senator Norrls
Brown, of Kansas, has sent word that
he will not allow anything to Interfere
with his coming here to make the
speech at the banquet. There will be only one speech. Brown Is a progres
sive Republican, but he Is not one of
the rampant or radical kind, and his
speech is expected to be along the line
of good old fashioned Republicanism.
when every. Republican in the land
stood on the same platform and fought

Xdler and other persons of note whp recently have taken Issue with Elbert H. Gary, executive head of the steel trust, as to the labor and social conditions in that industry. ' Mr. Fitch, who has devoted two years to a careful study of the labor side of the steel industry, said today: "About 50 per cent of the employes
In active process are working twelve
hours a day. Until very recently at least 30 per cent had a seven day week. These long hours are added to, of course, by the time consumed in going to and from work, so that many a man who has to be on duty twelve hours In th3 mill is away from hW home thirteen hours every day, or more. Under such circumstances it is Impossible for a man to live a normal life or to have the opportunities that should be open to men. "Wages In the steel industry arc low. Sixty-five per cent of the employes are common laborers, and the common labor rate In Pittsburg In the steel corporation mills is 1"V4 cents an hour. Other companies there and In other parts of the country pay less."

A tea-kettle fall of boiling water, was the weapon Eli Gragu, 3520

leged to have sought to employ-in getting even with a number of erstwhile friends whom he believed to have been
responsible for ejecting him and a com

The trouble In which the tea-kettle figured took plae on Monday night In
John Duea'a saloon In Cedar street. Sad"
to say the scalding water which Gragu
Intended to use in par-boiling his vie
tims, damaged Gragu himself, inflicting
such serious injury that Gragu was unable to appear in Judge Relland's court
s yesterday to prosecute his would-be
victims. The parties to the lnoldent were Nick Alba,' George Joseph, Peter Dadretur Sam Dangal and Gragu. Gragu accused seme of the bunoh of responsibility for- his ejectment from the hall, and a row ensued. Gragu it is said seized the kettle of hot water and went after the crowds Somebody delivered a swift and forceful kick at the. kettle with the result that the water flew out, plashing the face and neck of Gragu
and scalding him very severely. Ha swore out warrants against the above named and they will be arraigned before Judge Reiland today. When he appears however, a warrat will be served on him charging him with the same offense which he' charges the defendants.
President R. E. Tod of the East Chi
cago company is In East Chicago his
face wreathed in smiles. He has ex
pressed himself as greatly pleased with
the developments of the last few weeks.
The location of the Baldwin Locomotive
works is particularly gratifying to Mr.
Tod, as he foretold twenty years ago
that this would be one of the most im
portant Industrial centers of the world
in a decade or so. The establishment
of the Baldwin people here. Is addi
tional confirmation of Mr. Tod's predic
tlon. If the fact still needs confirmation
in the eyes of the skeptical.
The activity In real estae. which the
big . purchase by the Baldwin peopl" cause has been the means of realizing
the speedy completion of the canal in Its various branches. The Great Lakes Dredge and Dock company has been given carte clanche to proceed with the work In hand, contracts .having been signed up' yesterday, and the company has been authorized to put Just as many dredges at work on it as possible and to proceed with the work a rapidly as possible.

Ben Koch and Theodore Graft, who
wero paroled by Judge Reiter last summer immediately after they were convicted of robbing him. In that case,
however, Diamond received nearly all his stolen goods again! and he himself was not adveres to their parole.
The three young fellows were taken j
to Crown Point last night, preparatory
to their trip to Jeffersonville, where they are, according to their sentence yesterday, to serve an indefinite term of two to fourteen years.
The holdup occurred last Friday
night, but the police worked so quietly
and quickly, and the wheels of Justice ground so rapidly that no defense work
to av the three from' the penitentiary could be gotten in.
Woman Ordered Out of Town. Blanche Adair, "the woman In the
case," who was taken in custody by the
police on the charge of disorderly conduct at the Fame time Nathan Love was arrested, was orderedout of town yes
terday afternoon by the " police, and
told that If she would return she would
be arrested on the charge of being an
Immoral character. After" boing re-? leased she walked north on Hohman
street and Is said to have gone to a north side saloon, and late last night
she ls, i?ald to have been seen walking back toward' the business district. The police have Instructions to pick her up anywhere they find her In Hammond. Although never arrested in East Chicago, she is known to the police there. She was closely questioned by the Hammond police yesterday, but refused to divulge anything material regarding her antecedents. V
