VISITS TWIII CITIES

Johnson Selects Men

Serve on Executive and

Finance Committee

County Chairman Charles Johnson

was in East Chicago and Indiana Harbor yesterday, getting things in shape

for the coming campaign. He was in Indiana Harbor during the afternoon when he met with vice City Chairman Thomas O'Connell and the precinct commttteement of the Harbor to select

men to serve on the executive commit-

to and on the finance committee of the

county organization. Those ohosen for

these honors were Thoas O'Connell, C.

B, Fowler, M. R. Schock and Ben Goldman on the executive committee, and

Judge Walter J. RUey for the finance

committee.

The meeting in Kast Chicago took

place in the evening, when County

Chairman . Johnson met with City Chairman C. L. Kirk and the precinct

committeemen from this end. E. W

wlcke-y, J. E. Kenncdy, and Fred Daniels were selected to serve on tho executive committee, the fourth man not having yet been named. CL L.

Kirk was -appointed to serve on the

finance committee from East 'Chicago,

It Is probable that" the date, of th primaries and of the county convention will be changed to an earlier date. Thn

date set for the primaries, April 5, ha:! been discovered to fall on Good Friday, and on this account it is probable that

a change win be mad. The county convention waa set for the day after the primaries, mo if the change is mads in the latter, it will undoubtedly b made in the forme.

my remarks " to say -this. ' I cannot be

wholly Indifferent to the fact that senators by their absence at this time Indicate their want of interest 1n what

I have to say; upon this subject. The

portant question Is rightly ; settled seats now temporarily vacant . may be perntBBeatly vacated by ; those who have the right to occupy them at this time." Has come true to more , than one senator and the people are going to be represented if they have to kick out some more of the has-beens to get justice. , S. B. WOODS, Lottayille. Ind.

Educational Director Schwartz of

the night college of Gary's T. If. C.

finds that It is necessary to do a lot

of preliminary work among . the for

elgners before they will join the nigh:

classes which are open to them.

"A lot of the foreigners," said Prof.

Schwartz, "wish to become more profi

cient in the English language. ..They

come here, see this' fine building and when they come Inside the splendor of the lobby dazzles them. These men see a lot of well dressed young fellows in here and they figure that they are out "of? place. "Such Is not the case. Everybody is welcome and this is one of the thtng-3 that we must contend with. We have a lot of their own countrymen out working among them and before long we expect to have some big classes going. . Chances For The Ambitions. "Se that young man going out the door. He came in here tonight to enroll in the night classes. He 'works in the steel plant and he told me that his chanees of going to school were very few and now that he has the opportunity of improving himself he is taking advantage o it That. young fellow is ambitious. There are a lot more like hlms but we must bring their attention the wonderful opportunities now at their disposal."

Classes are now being organized in

modern, mechanical drawing, arithmetic, higher mathematics, electricity, chemistry, steam, mechanical, structural civil and electrical engineering, concrete construction, stenograph.

bookkeeping, a private secretary's course civil service preparation, public

speaking, commercial law, English for

foreigner!, building contracting, advertising and salesmanship.

COL. COOPER

ON THE JOB Col. Carl J. Cooper, the pioneer Gary editor and former war correspondent in the Cuban revolution and the Gary city 'election, has returned to his desk and is once more molding public opinion at full pressure. Several days ago Col. Cooper contracted the mumps while running down a story on the malady. He at once took to his bed and Mayor Knotts de

tailed the court surgeons to his bedside, and after a liberal application' of mustard plasters and the regulation fes the docs let the lltterateur'out. ' Col. Cooper denies that his haste in Kitting out of hed has nothing to do v,ith his eajrerness to join in with oth-

r Gary literary lights in observing the

1'ifkens centenary.

REFUSE TO WAIT ON UNCLE SAM TO DO IT fContinu4 from Page L deepening the channel., SPLENDID DOCKAGE. When the property owners along the river complete the dredging of the river North Township will have seven miles of ship can4l ready for improvement by the government. Three and one half ,mlles will be along the course of the Calumet river and three and ono half miles will be along the course of the Indiana Harbor canal. This will give the cities of North Township 14 miles of the finest dockage In the west. It will afford thousands of acres of splendid manufacturing sites.

Dt'E TO CANAL. The importance of this may be ap

preciated when the fact is known that

North Townships industrial develop ment is largely due to the Indians, Har

bor canal. Half a dozen industries have been locatedln tfclsterritory for two

principal reasons: 1. Because of the

unsurpassed railroad facllitleseffered

2. Because of the extra shipping facili

ties offered by the Indiana Harbor

canal and the Calumet river. GREA' CANAL SYSTEM. Its importance may - be further ap predated by the fact that the develop

ment of the river !n North- township will result In a similar development in

Calumet township and in the city of Hammond west of Columbia avenue

which will eventually give the Calu

met region fifteen miles of deep water

ways or 30 miles of dockage.

It is expected that the work of dredgitfg the new channel of the Calu. met rivar will begin next spring when

$100,000, will be spent on the work. With the new channel established it will be possible to begin the sale of factory sites at once. PLAt ARB FAVORED. The meeting of property owners was held in the law office of Loucks anrl Butts in the Title & Trust Co. building in Chicago. All of the property owners, excepting one, were represented. Peter W. Meyn and William H. Gostlin of the firm of Gostlin. Meyn & Co. of Ham

mond were present at the meeting'and submitted the plans and profiles of the proposed river straightening. The plans

met with general favor. f.

IMPRESSIVE

FUNERAL HELD

One of the most Impressive funerals that has taken place In Indiana Harbor in a long time, was that accorded Stanley Romanskl of 3609 Beech street, who was killed while at work at the Inland mill on Tuesday. The funeral- was in tharge of the Polish Falcons.- Turners" association. Six turners in full uniform caroled the casket on their shoulders from Beech street to 189th street.1 where St. John's Polish Catholic church la located, and here Rev. Laditilawa Kubiak sang a

requiem high mass in the absence of

Father Stochowlak, Who is now in Detroit. . From the church the remains were

escorted to Cedar street, the procession

moving thence to 138th street, to Deodar street, to Guthrie street, to Michigan avenue, to 140th street, to Euclid avenue. At this point the hearse passed the society in review, the members

presenting arms. Thence the funeral cortege. Including thirty-six turners In full uniform,

and a. band of nine pieces, went to the

Polish cemetery in West Hammond, the turners who had marched up to this

point going the rest of the way in car

riages. All of the turners as well as

the members of the hand were in full

uniform. As the" casket was being lowered into the grave, a volley of three

shots was fired over the grave.

The deceased was assistant physical

instructor of the Polish Falcon's Turn

er society. ,
