unconscious MAN FOUND

Fvldencps of a highway robbery in the heart of (iary's residential district, believed to have be.ejj performed by "patch" negroes, tamo to light last night about S o'clock when an unconscious man was found in the alley in the rear of the Jefl'erson school. Ha was sa n-' r,, irged. so ti- doctors state. At tlvr- Mercy hospital, where the police took the victim, he gave his name as Fred Ford of Cincinnati. In a moment of consciousness he declared that had been taken from him. Today he is again unconscious and unable to give his local address.

Crown Point, Ind.. Sept. IS. (Special) The organization meeting of the Republican party worked at Central Mu-

ulc haJl yesterday afternoon, at which i "W'intWd Durbin, candidate for governor, addressed a good sized audience, j started his Republican campaign, in this section of the county. Hon. Charles j A. Carlisle of South Uend, scheduled to j

be present, was unable to be at the meeting. Mr.' Dtirbin made a characteristically splendid address, dwelling on the merits and necessity of proper organization that is to be a factor in the coming election, if the Republican party J. to be successful. He brought out many valuable points as regards party organtaztion. and urged the highest points of efficiency and diligence in cor.ductinsr the Republican fight in the three-cor-.nered warfare for the presidency. After the address here the Republican committee accompanied Indiana's next governor to East Chicago, where he was slated to address the voters on the Issues of the campaign.

mental lights had been referred, sudtnitted a report as chairman and signed by Kane in which It was advised to delay all action on the liehts until each property owner immediately benefitted by them for their installation and maintenance. AH with the exception of Hower voted for this. The tax levy was sent to its second reading and .mother meeting will have to lie held next Tuesday as under the law this levy must be fixed before October. At least two-thirds of the council would have been required to send It to final passage last night, but only a bare majority was present. Hower W'ontn Invet!tcation. Had Councilman Hower left the council chamber with Mayor Smaliey, the hands of the other councilmen would still have remained tied, but Mr. Hower went In to vote his convictions and he was defeated. Councilman John Kane

who had questioned I lower's right and at the preceding session to sit In the council on the ground that Hower was not a resident of Hammond, did not question Hower's right last night. In

fact, after tie meeting he said that Hower was a "gentleman for having been at th meting. Speaking t-f his right "to stt in the council, Mr. Hower told a Times reporter Inst right that he intended to ask for an investigation of the charges made against him by Kane. He said that he had had in mind a long time ago to resign from the council, but that he would not quit under fire. He said he was thunder struck at the last meeting when Kane questioned his right to vote In the council, as only two weeks before the incident he and Kane had had a conversation on the very subject, and that he had told Kane then that he intended to resign, but that Kane had urged him to keep his seat in the council.

A letter from Cra w ford s v i! le., rer garding conditions in Montgomery county, says: "The moose sentiment here is waning. Their county ticket Is a joke. The leaders of the party here are almost all soreheads. They will not gain as we go along, but will lose. Heveridge Is not as strong as Roosevelt is in this county." Dekalb county is not in as bad shape for the. republicans as has been reported, according to a letter received from there. The writer says: "We are not In bad shape in De-

From Tippecanoe county comes a letter in which the writer says: "The bull , moose sentiment is subsiding." ! I A Fort Wayne man writers: "The progressive sentiment is not on the , increase. On the other hand, I believe'

the condition is better for the regn'ar republicans at present than It was soma time ago, and I have every reason to '

believe we may expect much improvement before election day." A IaGrange man writes: "You know that we are quite moosey up here. The little mooses have tried to bellow some, like, the old bull himself, but the noise seems to get fainter and fainter. They are decreasing in number. It is the opinion of the best informed men here that the moose sentiment is waning." These letters give a fair idea of the line of information given In all of those received up to this time. The business man that received them said he ditl not feel at all discouraged from a republican standpoint, and that Indications were, as he found them, that the situation was improving every day.

A meeting was held last evening and the subject brought up for discussion and legislation. Routine work was also handled and four members received the second degree.
