this precinct was not mentioned by the

commissioners. COMMENTS OX WORK.

Attorney John K. Reilly in comment

ing on the discoveries that were made as a result of the recount said that ha

did not believe that any of the irresu

larities were wilful attempts to changre the result of the election but were

rather the result of ignorance.

Tho following, however, is the report

to tha Judge: To The Honorable AVillisc C. McMahan, Judge of th Lake Circuit Court, l,ake County. Indiana: We, the commissioner appointed by Your Honor, for the purpose of recounting tho ballots oast at the November, 1912, election for the office of County Auditor, in addition to and

supplemental to our report as to the number of votes cast for each candidate for County Auditor, desire to call

your attention to the fact that gross irregularities occurred in some of the precincts in this, that in one precinct the ballots were numbered from one up consecutively, and In others the initials of but one poll clerk was indorsed up

on the back of the ballot,. and In soma

instances the initials of the poll clerk was endorsed upon the face of the ballot, and in other instances the poll clerk initials were endorsed with lead

pencils Instead of pen and ink; and In many instances it is apparent that the election officers handed t the voter a common lead pencil Instead of a bluo

pentl. . In one precinct tha election board wholly failed to tally for many of the candidates the votes actually cast for thenW onelder these irregularities wholly the fault of the election officers, and they are so gross that in our Judgment prosecutions ought to be Instituted with the view of punishing election officers guilty of these flagrant abuses.

STAR! WAR Oil CIVIL SERVICE

Revolt Against Clean Political Doctrine Started by the Democrats, Who Declare That to the Victors Belong All the Spoils.

Washington, Dec. 2. Indiana members of congress who returned to Washington today are raising the standard of revolt against the civil service and are calling on their fellow solons from other states to rally to their battle cry. No more catching slogan ever was sounded in congress than this Macedonian appeal from Hooslerdom that the civil service bars be let down In order that good and loyal democrats, who have been on the outside looking in for sixteen years, may step Inside and satiate their keenly whetted appetites. Cullop Starts It.

Representative W. A. Cullop of Indiana was one of these who declared

war on civil service. If Mr. Cullop had his way he would turn out every fat.

Galica, Austria, was suddenly turned into sadness. He arrived a few hours lator, but too late to see his youngest brother alive. I)e:ta of Tragedy. Casimer Lak is the father of seven children. He is employed in the Standard Steol Car works, and last Saturday afternoon the mother was busily engaged in cleaning up the little home in order to have it in readiness for her sixteen year old son John; who was expected to come later in the evening. All but two little boys were outside playing. The mother called her twelve year old son to g-o to the front room

to get her a mirror. His seven year old brother Frank was in this brother, and the older brother in getting into a chair to reach for the mirror could not resist the temptation to take a twentytwo caliber rifle from the wall which

Alike Carbaree, who halls from

conclusion that the adjective is a misnomer as applied to the big metropolis.

He says that Indiana Harbor represents his idea of the depths of the bot

Abram Strooka is the citizen whose

alleged misdeeds have caused Mr.

Carbaree to gather such gloomy impression of this busy burg. Messrs. Strooke and Carbaree met up with each other on Saturday. It was the latter"s first trip to the Harbor. Strooke seemed a nice, friendly sort and the" two had some drinks together. They were in a Beech street saloon when th altercation over the money occurred. Carbaree claimed he had been "done" out of $2 by Strooke and demanded that Strooke make it up to him. Strooke resented the implication and, according to Carbaree, fell upon his newly found acquaintance and licked him. Strooke was later arrested for assault and battery.

' on of the board of education when the

question of pure water In the schools came up. Mr. Jennings is the consulting engineer who was responsible fT giving the stock yeard pure water by means of the use of chloride of lime. Mr. Jennings in this letter stated that in his corespondent? with Mr. Kirk he did no, remember of having given him any figures as to the cost of erection of a plant which, would provide the Twin Cities with pure, water and be denied telling Mr. Dixon that he had entered into any negotiations with tho local water company to erect a plant.

GARY TO HAVE BIG NAUTICAL GUEST Newest Addition to the Steel Trust Fleet Is Coming Next Spring.

The greatest monster ever launched on the great lakes, one of the United States Steel corporation's boats, will visit Gary harbor during the SDrinsr

ore season. The freighter is longer than any ocean steamer that flies the American

flag. She is the steamer '-(ilor John M. Schoonmaker," 617 feet total length. This boat, which is the newest addition to the steel trust fleet, is 33 feet deep and draws 20 feet of water. She has a carrying capacity of 13,500 tons and contains 35 loading hatches. Whether Gary harbor can accommodate this monster ore carrier is a question yet to be settled.

luted sewage flowing Into the lake, the water would show a remakable number of. typhoid germs. Especially so since the analysis of specimens of

water taken five miles from shore some months ago when there was little if any typhoid fever in this region, by the United States government expert, Brewster, showed typhoid germs. Instead however of the condition becoming worse since then, with sixty odd casses of typhoid in Indiana Harbor, alone, at one time, and other developing since It has improved until now it is absolutely free of the bacteria which cause, typhoid. The state investigators from the first, had a. hunch that It was the milk that was responsible for the epidemic. Somehow they did not attribute it to thftjWater, at all. . The result was that in company with Dr. Herskovitz of Oklahoma, the secretary of the city board of health, their attention was turned Immediately to the milk supply. They found that one dealer from which a goodly number of the typhoid patients received their milk supply, was

getting milk from a dairy owned by a man in whose family a number of cases of sickness had existed. The disease of at least one of the

patients had been characterized as "walking typhoid" a disease little known to city physicians, but comparatively common in the country. The evidence was not sufficient to warrant

the closing of the dairy, but the local milk dealer who had been getting his milk from this source, had been ordered to discontinue and has done so. After looking the milk situation over, the water was taken up with tho aforesaid remarkable , result. However local physicians are still urgent in their advice to all users of city water, to boil it. Dr. C. C. Robinson was asked his opinion as to whether there were ty

phoid germs in the water in view of the present epidemic. "Undoubtedly there are," said he. "I have not seen the result of the state chmists investigation, but I should say in view of the present epidemic the water could not escape contamination. The present epidemic may have been due to the milk, as Investigation seems to point that way, but the water could scarcely escape pollution now with all the typhoid impregnated sewage finding its way into the lake. Dr. Robinson was told of the report

of the state chemists, but this did not change hia opinion that the water Is
