(Continued from Par 1-) tills franchise the city receives nothinr' Next Ktght in Eat Cbiengo. Mr. Gavit said last night to a Times' reporter that he would In all probability avail himself of the option in the

franchise, which provides that lie shall

have a year's time in which to build, j

even if he does not secure a franchise

in East Chicago. His friends say that he-will have considerable difficulty in securing a franchise in East Chicago, despite the fact that a majority of tho councilmen are staid to be in favor of his coming to East Chicago, or rather Indiana Harbor, which is the Fourth ward of the city. Before trys council can act favorably or unfavorably on It, the franchise must have passed through the hands of the board of public works, of which Mayor Schlleker is a member, and he is said to be unfriendly to Mr. Gavit. Redneed Fre Agitation Drop-prd. Xo further attempt was made at the session last night by the labor union men to have a reduced fare embodied in

the franchise. The new franchise, like ; the Gary & Interurban grant, the provisions of which are all to be read into the new one, provides for six rides for a quarter, whereas the union men demanded eight rides for a quarter bei tween the hours of 5 and 8 a. m. and ' 4 and 7 p. m. It was their object to have the reduced fare In effect on the new line as well as on the Gary Tn- ' terurban. but when it was found that , it could be put into effect on the new

an attempt to make reduced fares apply on the Gary & Interurban would affect that company's bonds, the agitation subsided.

meeting of the council is called to put

through the ordinance. The ownership of public dockage by the city was made a point of by Col. Zinn In his re

port regarding the improvement of the harbor, he having mentioned specifically that the acquisition of dockage by the city should be insisted upon if the government follower out his recommendations as to the harbor improvement. Owing to the importance attached to the public docks, it would have been a telling point for the committer t,o have faced the board with the important - information that the city would be equipped with 900 feet of good dockage front. It seems incred

ible to ma.ny of the taxpayers that the council should delay action on the bridge matter when it entails the. gift

' ot so much valuable property.

The race waka, do not appear to be making any lies between 7, archer and Cox. headway. William O'Keefe of Plym- Judge John' ,V.

Some of the machine men are

saying that it would not do to nominate Spencer because organized labor would fight him. EBWIV LOOK LIKELY. Richard K. Erwln of Fort . Wayne has been picked for supreme court judge for several reasons. He la a first class lawyer and a democratic leader. He has been treasurer of the state committee for six years. Probably no man

in the state stands better with his

parts than Judge Erwln. The race is between Erwin and Fred S?. Caldwell of Winchester, and the Taggart machine Is using against Caldwell the argument that he made some dry speeches in Delaware county In a wet and dry campaign. This- is depied by Caldwell's friends, but the machine does not mind the denial. It does not propose to have on the bench any man that makes dry speeches. Judge Joseph H. Shea is another lifelong friend and follower of Taggart, and this will land for him the nomination for judge of the appellate court. He Is" now circuit court j jdge for Jackson and Lawrence count.es and he has been renominated for that office. Of

course. If he gets the nomination for

appellate court Judge he will have to resign the other nomination, and this will make a place for some other democratic lawyer.

For delegates-at-large to the demo

cratic national convention the slate is

composed of-Senators Shively and Kern,

Thomas Taggart and Stephen B. Flem

Ing of Fort Wayne. It is possible that

Taggart may step aside and put Hugh Dougherty of this city on the slate in his place, but this is. not certain. Dougherty is a close personal friend of Governor Marshall, and it is said that the governor would like to have him go to the convention as delegate-at-large. Mr. Dougherty formerly was a banker at Bluffton, but has lived here

for several years. It is understood that the platform will reaffirm the party's position on the liquor question and let it go at that.

that Forsyth avenue is subject to th cinal. Should the Kast Chicago com
