William's. Gallagher, the Tolleston contractor, and former president of the Tolleston town hoard before that town was annexed to Gary, was last nigrht elected to a seat in the Gary common council. The election was done by the council in a special meeting. Gallagher takes the place occupied by the late "Walter Gibon. He had but one competitor Kdward Behnke. Alderman Gallagher received Ave votes those of Aldermen Rowley. Feuer, Bowser, Hess and Knglehart. Three votes, those of Aldermen Walsh, Szymanski and Simlasko were cast for Behnke. Last nigrht two Gary newspapers received "bum steers." They were told by the n powers that be that Herman Vecker would win the seat, but It turned out otherwise. The Times predicted the election of either Behnke, Gallagher or Frank Bormann, with the chances favoring Behnke, which they did, until late in the day when two votes were lined up for Gallagher. The council also passed an appropriation of $750 for summer band concerts.

They peered in at the window taking due care that he did not Are the old army rifle at them. HAJiTS TO DIR. There he lay his hands puffed up with dropsy, his thin white hair, disheveled, his face covered except for the eyes. They were turned towards the door so that they could watch for intruders until the last. And then the door was battered down. For the first time in years
strangers darkened his door. The
sound of many voices came faintly to the old man's ears. "Go away. Leave me alone. I want to die here," was the feeble protest he made and thon his eyes closed. What did it matter anyway to a man who had only a little while to live. Or,
perhaps his thoughts went back over 50 years to Wesdorf. and the little girl
he left in Germany.

(Special tr The Times.) Dyer, Ind., July 19. Mat Ambre, one of Dyer's old and most respected citizens, died here rather suddenly this morning after an Illness extending over a period of not more than four weeks. At no time was he so ill that he was confined to his bed. The funeral has been arranged for next Monday morning. Services will be held at St. Joseph's Catholic church at 10:15 o'clock in the morning, the Rev. Joseph Flach officiating. Mr. Ambre's death is ascribed to kidney trouble which he was unable to throw off owing to his advanced years. He was up and around as usual this morning and shortly after 8 o'clock he came Into the house saying that he was very tired. He labored hard for breath and soon became unconscious. Within a half hour he had passed away. His wife and son Henry and two daughters, Misses Marie and Eva Ambre. were with him. Mr. Ambre was born in Germany 78 years ago. and came to Dyer at the age of 19. In 1886 he was married to Elizabeth Ofenbach, and of this union one
child, Eva, was born. Mr. Ambre's first

them there were $20 and $50 gold pieces wrapped in paper. The superficial search that was made last night revealed but $330. It is believed, however, that there must be thousands of dollars hidden on the place. , The old man was so deaf that he sdid not hear the searchers at work or It Is believed that he would have raised an outcry. Today the search of the premises was continued.

TIMES BUREAU, AT STATE CAPITAL. Indianapolis, Ind., July 19. James V. Goodrich has been selected by the White House to be referee ln the matter of postofflce appointments in Indiana, to take the place of Harry S. New, who acted In that capacity until he retired from the office of Repub
lican national committeeman from this state. The announcement of the selection of Mr. Goodrich has been
made at Washington. Hereafter all maters pertaining to the ; appointment of postmasters in Indiana during the
Taft administration will be referred to Mr. Goodrich. He will make Investigations and then will make recommendations to the President s to the fitness of the applicants for the places and as to the advisability of making the appointment. Mr. Goodrich recently was elected national committeeman to succeed Mr. New. The latter had announced long before the Chicago convention that
with that convention he would retire1 as member of the national comlttee and that he would also, retire as postoffice referee In this state. He said he had been active ln the party organization for many years and that he wished to retire and turn the work over to some one else. The Indiana delegation elected Goodrich as his
successor on the committee. Mr. New proposed that Goodrich and Fred A.
Sims Jointly should act as referee in
postofflce appointments, but Sims -took the position that since he ' is Republican state chairman It would be besc
for him to keep out of the oosition a referee, and he suggested that Goodrich be chosen for the Job' and that it all be turned over to him. This sug
gestion has been followed, and now
Mr. Goodrich Is the arbiter In postoffice matters ln Indiana.
The third party leaders. It Is said,
have not yet given up their hope that
Roosevelt may be induced to attend
the Indiana state convention of their party on August 1, in spite of the fact
that he has decided to abandon tho western speaking trip which he had planned to take before the national
convention ln Chicago on .August 5. They think it would be a great enrd
to get him here and it is understood that they propose to keep after him.
The third party managers report that
county organlastions are being formed ln many of the counties. In some
of them the officers of the county organizations are Democrats and Republicans. The third party people say they are seeking recruits from all parties, because their party is an entirely new party. But In many coun
ties, so It Is reported, they are having
a very difficult time of It to form an
organiaztlon. So many of the man who were for Roosevelt before the
Chicago convention nave refused to
Join In with the third party movement
that it Is hard to get a sufficient num
ber of reputable workers to carry on
the organization work In some places. Another thing that has developed In
connection witn the third party or
ganiaztlon campaign in this state is
that glowing reports of large and en
thusiastic meetings in various coun
ties- are sent out. telling of the great crowd that attend them, when in fact the attendance is extremely small. For
instance, in one county ln such cen
irat inaiana a meeting was called to form an organization, and a long account of the meeting sent out stating that a big crowd was present, made up of both Democrats 1 and Republicans. The fact was that the meeting was attended by Just eleven persons.
In some places, however, they do have large meetings, but ln most of
the counties the attendance Is shock
ingly light. Politicians here take this to mean that the third party movement has not made much of a hit and
that it is not drawing much support. The scrap which George B. Lock
wood, of Marlon, has been carrying on with Edwin M. Lee and Horace Stillwell, two of the leaders of the third party movement ln this state.
has attracted a good deal of attten
tlon, and has produced many a good
hearty laugh. Lockwood charges that Lee and Still well are in the third
party movement" at the best and In
aid of the brewers and the liquor In
terests, and that the entire third party
movement is what he calls a "liquo
cratic" movement. He says that all that Lee and Still wp) 1 have In view Is
to help Tom Taggart elect a Demo
cratic legislature that will be wet and
that will prevent the enactment of
any new liquor legislation. Lee and Stillwell comeback at Lock
wood and call him ail kinds of nama
and charge that he got out and help
ed 10 eiect. wet oeiegates to a recent convention. They say this Is not
a very nice think for a man to do who
is as "dry" as Lockwood. And so the
fight goes on. Lockwood Is a candl
date for the Republican nomination
for Governor and he Insists that the
Republican state convention must de
clare ln favor of county option. Lee
and Stillwell are both notoriously
"wet" when It comes to the local op tlon question.
