FROM THIS AUTO

Alderman Tim Englehart earned a new title last night In the Gary common council that of "watch dogr" of the city treasury. The Ridge roader put his foot down heavily when the question of repairing the city auto came up. "I will vote for $200 to repair It but I want it understood that it is to be used for no Joy rides and that women are not to be seen in it." More IIIih lie Maid. This was apreed to and from now on the 1800 machine which former Alderman Battleaxe Castleman bought for

the city and which has been a dilapidated affair for nearly a year will be used only on city business maybe. Last year the city auto it la said, was used a good deal for Joy rides, excursions to the Pine station beach where good fish suppers are served and more than one woman friend of city officials had the machine out for pleisure purposes. It is said that one one of these trips when the machine was commandeered by a woman that it was put out of business. However, if the new rule Is enforced female friends of city officials wil have to look elsewhere for their "Joy rides."

dred was assembled on the beach. All

vening and far iuto the night tho search was continued, but between the darkness and a fog which settled over

the lake, little headway could be ac

complished. The body was not brought

up until morning. In the mean time the girl's father had been telegraphed the sad news, but the office at East Chicago being closed at 6 o'clock, the message never reached him until Thursday morning. Premised Her Schooling. Mr. Teterson had written his daughter but a day or two before that he had been lnestigating a number of boarding schools and intended placing her in one of these as soon as the fall term opened. The young girl had been much pleased at the information and was looking. forward to a new epoch In her life that the board school experience would open up. The funeral occurred on Saturday it the Congregational church in Baldwin and interment was in a local cemetery.

THIRD PARTY

Jill

PROMOTERS

BACKED UP NOW

TIMES BIRGAl. AT STATE 'AI1TAI. Indianapolis, Ind.. July 15. The third party promoters have backed up on their plan for wholesale nominations of congre ssional county. Judicial and legislative tickets all over the state, and the prospect is now that while such tickets may be nominated in some of the counties there will tint be very many of them. After the metting of the third party provisional state committee In this city last Friday Edwin M. Lee, the chief promoter ol the movement, gave out the Information to newspaper men that the committee had decided that there should be third party tickets nominated in every unit In the state In which elections are to be held, and this Information was given . to the public througrh the press. At this meeting, also a, subcommittee was appointed to prepare a call for the third party state convention in this city on August 1. This committee held an all night meeting find there was a. hot time over the question of whether the plan to hold all of the local conventions shoul l be carried nut. Some of the members were In favor of U while others were not. , The latter feareJ the result and the effect such a move miht have on the general welfare of the movement. The result was that this sub-committee decided not to direct . the holding of local conventions throughout the, state, but to limit the action on this point to a recommendation that such conventions be held. Therefore, it is now left entirely, with the county and district , third party members themselves to determine whether they will nominate thlri tickets. . It is believed here that this will . clarify the political atmosphere to a great extent, for it. was a cinch that if the original plan had been carried out there would have been a lot of trouble on hand for both the Republican party and the Hull Moose party. The third party managers found, so it is said, that while there were men in the various counties who lean toward Roosevelt as against Taft they were not so strong in that faith that they would consent to the slaughter of county tickets already nominated by the Republican purty. They found that many of these men held that national Issues, such-as are involved in the Bull Moose, flsht have no place In local contests- The tariff issue, they

learned, could not be used as an argument as to why a certain man or set of men should be elected or defeated for county offices. So the plan of some of the more radical supporters of the Bull Moose movement to Jump In and raise seventeen kinds of hades by insisting of entirely independent action in the campaign from one end to the other had to be abandoned and the others be allowed to have something to say about what should be done. This back down on the part of the third party boosters is regarded here as a serious blow to their hopes in this state. Another serious thing that confronts them la the fact that so many of the leading Republicans who honestly favored the nomination of Roosevelt at Chicago are refusing to have anything to do with the third party movement. Reports of this kind have been coming from all over the state. It is true

that some of the ardent ones still are forwarding the third party plan, but it is true, too, that most of them are not. The men who are now undertaking to carry the thing throught are as a general thing politicians of small calibre, who will not carry the amount of weight with the voters that they were expected to carry. No one from the Thirteenth district attended the third party meeting last Friday, and report has it that Mr. Lee has not yet been able to get anyone in that district to accept the Job aa a member of the committee.. L. H. Vail of Goshen and Wilson Roose -of Elkhart both were Invited and urged to take the. place, but the fact that neith

er of them was here. Is taken to mean that they will not take part. The fact that Austin W. Stults, .of Fort "Wayne, John P. Kenower, of Huntington, Postmaster Frank Stults, of Huntington, and others of their standing in the original Roosevelt movement have refused to Join the third party is regarded as a serious blow to the movement. Kenower was a Roosevelt .delegate to the Chicago convention. Austin Stults is nominee for presidential elector In the Twelfth district. Frank Stults was one of the most rabid rampant Rosevelt men in the Eleventh district. These men are but samples of the many more over the state who have refused to take up with the Bull Moose party, and this fact indicates to the politicians that the third party outfit will have a difficult time to fret their party going in any kind of shape.

Chief Martin'a statement In the Gat newspapers yesterday that he would have Max Bernstein, a saloonkeeper at Broadway, arrested for his failure o

give the police information that he possessed of the negro murder the oth

er night got Max on he war path to

day. He retained Attorney Henry Prlca

to "set him right" and following an

interview with Chief Martin the latter told him his position regarding people

who do not help out the police. . Darky With Ylddlsher Name.

, Following the murder of Robert Davis by "Yellow" Levy a Mississippi

"nigger" last Thursday night Levy, whose first name is Moses, went to

Bernstein's saloon to summon a doctor for Davis, whom he did not know to bi dead. Later some police marched "by

but Bernstein told the officers nothing.

He claimB that the black criminal said that a man had a bullet In his arm and that he was trying to get help for him. The police on the other hand as

sert that Bernstein had heard threats that Levy said he would kill Davis o

get- possession of "his woman" and

that the murderer had flashed his re volver in Bernstein's place that day. la A 'Blg Family Maker."

Last Thursday Levy while at Black Oak called up Bernstein's place from Scheldt's saloon on the long-distance.

He called a negro named Davis to ths phone wh6 told him that Robert Davis was. dead. Bernstein says he ovr heard the conversation and as soon as the black man hung up he called up the long distance operator and asked

her if there-had been a long distance

call. The latter, he says, denied that

any out of town call had been made to

his phone. He states that he then gave

the police information that lead to his

capture. "I am one of the biggest family msk

ers by Gary," said Bernstein this

morning, ana although this nigger

Moses Levy talked by my phone

couldn't help it. The thing hurts me

by my reputation and I want the news

papers to correct me so X will be set

right." .

Chief Martin stated today that there

would be more of Bernstein's case.

The Indiana Anti-Saloon league at Indianapolis comes pointedly against the candidacy of Governor Marshall for vice president In a recent Issue of its official organ, the American .Issue, It regrets that many Indiana Votes will be lost for Woodrow Wilson' tor pres--ident this fall because support Of. Wilson necessitates support of Marshall. The Rev.. E. , S. Shumaker, Indiana editor of the. Issue, in an editorial entitled. "Marshall's bad liquor record," eays In part: "The sentiment of the nation ' unquestionably approves the selection of Woodrow Wilson at Baltimore as the democratic nominee for president. Chosen "by Muqtior Bosses. "However, no friend of thetemperance cause can takea n comfort over the nomination of Thomas R. Marshall Indiana's chief executive, for vice president. This latter nomination was vigorously opposed by Mr. Bryan and we are Informed by ' many of Wilson's friends. But the machinations of Tom Taggart Tammany's chief, Murphy; Roger Sullivan of Illinois and other pro-liquor bosses bore down all opposition and placed on the ticket as Wilson's' running mate a candidate who is

objectionable to the church and temperance people of the country. "How do the home-loving people of America like the prospect of seeing Mr. Marshall the friend of the liquor interests, the foe of the temperance reform, the . moral lecturer of Sundays and the liquor advocate of all other times a veritable Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde become the second chief man in this nation? Declarea Bryan Right. "Mr. Bryan was right In opposing his nomination, as he was right in favoring that of Governor Wilson. Many voters next November will regret that they can not vote for Wilson Xor pres

Ident, because In doing so they would have to vote for Marshall." The Rev. Mr. Shumaker said recently that no organized opposition to Governor Marshall will be made by the Indiana Anti-Saloon leogue because Governor Marshall will be a candidate for national election, but that the state organization will defer to the action of the national organization. "Every state superintendent in the country, however, has thefacts concerning the attitude of the Indiana organization toward Governor Marshall,"

Mr. Shumaker said.
