MURDER SUSPECT ARRESTED
. Wanted for a murder he is said to have commlted in Chicago yesterday Joseph Bavido, an Italian, twenty-
eight yearn old, was arrested early
this morning In Gary by the police. A dispatch from the Chicago department was to the effect that Bavido was
wanted in the , metropolis for th!
murder of his wife, who Is said to have died from bullet wounds received at her husband's hands. Following the receipt of the dispatch a little after midnight Detectives Shonski and Marquardt went to Seventeenth avenue
and Monroe streets where Bavldo's ' brother resides. i
Bavido was found asleep at the house. While dressing to accompany the officers he attempted to escape by jumping out a second story window.
BULLM'S FULL OF GINGER (Continued from Pave 1 county was a mere handful, and yet Allen county has been counted one of the strongest Progressive counties In the state. It was said that the lack of attendance from that county was due to the fact that while a good many voters there favor Roosevelt they are
not In sympathy with the third party movement or the nomination of third state congressional county or other lo
cal tickets. True nt Other Counties.
And what was true of Allen county was true also of several other counties where the same situation exists. It wlll.be remembered that In the Twelfth district convention that elect- ' ed delgates to the Rpublican national convention at Chicago there was not a Taft delegate present. Every county sent solid Roosevelt delegations. Yet the representation of the Twelfth district at the Bull Moose state con- . vention was small, and even those present were hopelessly divided on the question of third tickets. 1 It is not believed, from the talk of Twelfth district delegates, that there will be a third Congressional ticket in that district, but that they will all go to the Republican district convention at Kendallville tomorrow anw help to nominate a Republican candidate for Congress. Knu Start A Kirk. ' The convention had adoptjed the head of the bull moose as the party
emblem, when A. F. Knotts, of Ham
mond, moved to change the emblem and adopt the bull moose instead of the head. "Let's have a live thing for an em-( blem and not a dead one," he said, and . his motion was carried. i One of the peculiar features of the ticket nominated yesterday Is the fact
tnat the Eleventh district captured three of the nominations. Frederick Landis, of Logansport, who was nominated for Lieutenant Governor; Clifford F. Jackman, of Huntington, for Attorney General, and -Charles E. Apaulding, of Wlnamac. all live In the Eleventh districtWJiether this coincident was noticed by the managers of the convention is not known, but It was remarked by some others that it looked strange to
see one district get so many of the best nominations. However, the Eleventh district has been one of the strong Roonevelt districts of the state. The platform plank' on the liquor question is identical with the' plank adopted by the Bull Moose of Huntington county at their recent meeting. It declares that the liquor question is a moral and religious question, and not a political issue. It says the liquor issue has no place in politics. It can be permanently settled only through initiative and referendum, giving the people a-chance to express their will. Until this can be brought about, however, the platform says It favors county local option as a temporal" relief. - Just what effect this declaration will have on the declaration on the liquor question by the Republican state convention next wek is a question. It Is believed, however, the the Republicans will come out with a plain, square stand for county option without any frills or qualifications. Of course, the Bull Moose undertook to take away some of the capital of the Republicans by making their declaration first. Many temperance " people from over the state were here trying
to keep the Bull Moose from Indorsing county option. They wished them to
leave that to the Republicans, on the theory that if both parties declared for It it would split the vote and redound to the advantage of the Democrats at the election. These temperance people are much put out by the turn of affairs. The Thirteenth district had some noisy delegations in the convention, especially from St. Joseph and Elkhart counties. Kosciusko also was not far behind the others in noise making. It was evident that they had not forgotten the lessons In noise making that they learned at the Warsaw district convention last spring. One thing was apparent at the convention, and that was that while there some seasoned politicians on hand who had hold of the reins and who knew the political game and how to play it, avert large majority of the delegates were untrained in politics. Nearly all were men who are never seen at " state conventions. But the leaders and slate makers carried things along nicely and worked out their own plants without the bulk of the delegates knowing what was go.ing on. Maybe they will learn the game, however, if they stay at it long enough. f The convention crowd in the city, outside of the delegates themselves, was not as large as the average convention crowd. There were fewer people on the streets than usual at conentlon time, although the big hall contained about the average crowd. This gave rise to the thought that perhaps the Bull Moose, are not as numerous back home as has been reported, and that the bulk of them came as delegates. However, this is a mere guess. Arrangements already are being made to get ready for the campaign ,of the Progressives, and Beveridge promises to make a red hot campaign.. In
his speech he said: ! "I may sweat in this campaign, but I promise you that I shall not sweat as ' much as I make the other fellows
, sweat."
DEMOCRATS SAY SEFTON PROSECUTOR (Continued from Pace L
ing been out of the city, Vice Chairman John Dorman presided at the meeting yesterday afternoon. Attorney Sefton was nominated by acclamation, there having been no other candidate. At the last county convention he was given permission to select his own delegates as far as Lake county was concorned, and inasmuch as Porter county had no candidate to present Mayor Spooner of Valparaiso seconded Sefton's nomination which was made by Mayor Knotts. The latter was called iway from the convention shortly after is opened. f Short addresses were made by Messrs. P. J. Flnnerty. George Hershman, P. A. Parka, B. A. Carter, Joseph Spooner, Fred Barnett, Jacob Friedman, M. S. Gill, Ed. Simon and Mayor Spooner. The a9tlvitle3 of the bull moose par- - in Lake "county were the subject of interesting informal discussion In which the delight at the split in the G. O. P. ranks was undisguised.
BOARD TO TAKE UP MANY BIG THINGS
that the abutments may be built before the hiarh water in the spring. The people of Schneider have been working for the bridge OTer the Kankakee river for years and at last Newton county has agreed to cooperate in its construction. It is important therefore that' the aproprlation ior this bridge be built. In Hobart the people are anxious that the bridge be built over the mill dam set that an interurban line which Is projected to be built to that place can have the use of it. The present bridge while strong enough for wag an traffic is not heavy enough for the use of lnterurba cars. In addition to looking after these important bridge matters the county
commissioners will have their regular routine of saloon licenses and other business. . .
SHORTAGE OF CARS EXPECTED That there will be a shortage of cars this fall is regarded as certain by observers of ; the railroad situation. The executive committee of the National Industrial Traffic league has Issued a notice to Its members that the railroads, on account of the heavy crops, will not have sufficient equipment when the crop moving period, begins.
