' WHO IS BEHIND THE PLAN? f Continued from Par !. state in the Union. They were signed by Wiliam B. McKinley, the new Tart manager. More than 800 telegrams had been sent out this evening and every stats Republican leaders are now in receipt of these messages from the political powers that be at Washington. Tho messages are intended to help promote an entente cordiale between the administration and .the men who. help, to

shape delegates In tha various states. , The. text of the message was in no Instance withheld from publication, no' were the names of the persons to whom thy were seat made public. The. telegraphic bombardment extended pretty well over Indiana and quite a bunch of telegrams went to the Hoosier state. Iavltea Snajeatlona. The telegrams invited the recipients to come to Taft headquarters at Washington and offer suggestions as to political conditions. It was explained by the Taft managers that there was no effort to bar out insurgents in extending these invitations. It is expected that the flood of telegrams will make Washington a lively place politically next week and during the next few weeks to come. While it Is optional with the recipient, of course, as to whether or not he shall respond In person to the Invitation, it is expected that many wll do ao and that the invitations wll result In a general clearing house of information regarding conditions as they .affect the President, Manager McKinley wll be prepared to entertain all comers. By the time the first arrivals can get here he will be comfortably ensconced In a handsome suite of seven rooms on the second floor of the Wlllard Hotel. "Slnewi" Not Lacking;. Apparently the Taft campaign is well supplied with the sinews of war. as no expense is being spared in engaging and fitting up headquarters. Only a war chest that is well filled with ammunition could stand the strain of such telegraphic deluges as that of today coupled with numerous other campaign accessories and expenses that are in prospect. A commodious room is to be especially set aside at the headquarters for tha exclusive use of representatives of the press. Perhaps the main feature of

tho new Taft headquarters will be its publicity department. A corps of competent newspaper men will be employed to write for publication about the achievements of President Taft since he came into office on March 4, 1909.-: It Is explained that it Is not the purpose of the movement to attack anybody, but to tell the country all about President Taft, his aims and the results he has brought about as chief executive. The President's friends believethat me country does not know "the real Taft," and they ascribe this alleged misinformation to a lack of the right kind of publicity, which is now to be supplied. SMALL FIRES AT THE The Indiana Harbor fire ilpnsriment has had a number of runs the past day or two, only one of the fires resulting in a loss. This was at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Matt Iverson, 3603 Elm street. The house Is a two story frame cottage ana had been left alone all day. Mr. Iverson cam home from the city on a late train R&ttirav nto-ht lnar to the house found It lfw-w.H vr had not hla keywlth him, so' went to me noma or Airs, iverson a mother who Uvea in Pennsylvania and with whom he thought it likely he would find his wife. Ho had scarcev bean mn. flft.or, minutes, when smoke was seen issuing from the place, and a. call for the fire department was sent In. This was at ii.ou ounaay morning. On arriving: at the snnn rr tv n.a tha firemen found a stairway leading from the cellar to the kitchen In flames, and more or less fire in the kitchen useir. t nremen managed to confine the blaze to the rear of the house and put it outbefore the loss had reached more than $400. The origin of the fire was something of a mystery. Three days before there had been trouble with th water pipes ireezmg, ana fire was used In thawing them, and the Indications pointed to the fact that the fire had started in about the place where the nines hri n thawed. It was thought possible that it may have been smouldering since the 1 1 ... wmwins process, in oia rags around the pipes, but this seemed hardly likely. At 5:15 yesterday morning the department was called to the residence of E. V. Walton on the lake front, where a chimney was on fire. Mr. Walton feared that the roof might catch fire, and while he wished the chimnev to burn out h asked protection to guard the rest of me property. .Mrs. w aiton wno Is lying very seriously 111 In the housor-waa Informed of the trouble, but was told there was no danger. On Saturday mornigg an alarm was turned in from the home nf rhrij Whlteman. 3827 Grapevine street where there was a chimney on fire. No damage resulted from either of these two blazes. HAMMOND DEMANDS 5-MINUTE SERVICE CContlnued from Page icity service as a feasible proposition there arises the question of connecting it with the interurban service to East Chicago and South Chicago. There are two solutions of this problem, one of which wi'l have to be selected. Suggestion A. That the South Chicago, or "short line," cars come into Hammond as they do at present, run around the State-Sibley street loop andgo out again. Also that the East Chicago cars come Into allmmond, run around the same loop and go out again, fust as the South Chicago cars do. Transfers to be issued good to any part of the city on tho city service cars. Suggestion B. That the "short line" cars stop at Hoffman street, at which point transfers could be issued to the city service cars. Also that the East Chicago cars stop at the corner of One Hundred and Fiftieth street and Calumet avenue, where transfers could be Issued to the city service cars. Why Desirable. It Is believed that either suggestion A) or (B) would desirable both to the general public and the street car company for the reason that It would promote traffic over a greater area In Hammond. A few illustrations will demonstrate thi: - 1. Passenger from East Chicago desiring to go to the Befz plant, the Simplex plant or any place on the north

HARBOR

side, reasonably accessible from the

new city service route, could transfer 10 a city car while he is now eoinnell,i to walk. 2. Passengers from the "short linecars would take advantage of the frequent city service to transfer to points on South Hohman street and East State street while they now walk. Would Promote Business. 3. The increased business done on the city service cars would add to the volume of business on the "Short line" and East Chicago cars. It is believed that the installation of city service over this proposed route would lead to the construction of a line down Calumet avenue and also a loop of the residential districts bounded by Conkey avenue, Hohman street. Calumet avenue and Lauretta street, ao that eventually there would be a loop of the manufacturing district and the residential districts connected by parallel lines on Hohman street and Calumet avenue. That would give Hammond a perfect city service. , To Use Diplomacy. There is no disposition to browbeat or coerce the local traction company to install this service. The plan Is to take a friendsly attitude towards the corncompany, show it that the people want the service, that they would patronize it if they got ia and that it would pay the company after it was installed. If the company Is willing to be shown the manufacturers and business men of Hammond believe that they can show it that profits will not only be increased, but that the public's attitude will be one of pride in the service and loyalty to the company If It shows a disposition to do the right thing. ATTACKS STEEL That the United States Steel Corpora tion has not been and is not now performing Its public duty of making safe rails is the essence of a charge made in the current issue of the Railway Age Gazette. In commenting on the recent testimony of President Farrell of the steel corporation before the Stanley congressional committee to the efTect that the railroads have ordered brittle rails, the Age Gazette says: "It was because the steel companies were making poor rails that the railways began insisting on improvements in specifications and mill practice Improvements they have as yet been unable, chiefly because of the monopoly conditions in the steel trade, to obtain Improvements which the steel comof the fact that they are dominated financially by the same men who dominate in the affairs of many railways, panles, in view of their public duty ani ought voluntarily to make, but which all the pressure the executive and engineering officers of tha railways can bring to bear has as yet been inadequate to secure. "By the attitude they have assumed and are maintaining on the rail question the steel companies, and especially the stel corporation, are playing Into the hands of those who demand com plete destruction of practical monopoly in the steel business and of the close financial relations that exist between the steel companies and large railway systems."
