Two more blushing mayoralty candidates have stepped out on the stage in Gary. Both of the gentlemen are

bull moose patriots. Henry Vossler, the real estate man. is one of the taxpayers who would like to hold down the mayoralty. Oliver Starr, aslstant city attorney, also has his eye on the job as the young man's candidate. Several candidates fo rthe minor positions were talked of yesterday. Republicans want John D. Herr, agent from the Wabash railway, for clerk or treasurer. Attorney Fred Seabrigbf-is ' mentioned as good possibility as city Judge. Several young democrats have their eye on the city clerkship and some announcements are expected within the r.ext few days. City Treasurer E. C Simpson will not be a candidate for reelection. ' Aldermen Rowley. Hess and . Gallagher, all three having mayoralty ambitions will be content, to go back to the council on ; the republican - ticket but it -is doubtful whether they can be renominated, other members of the party say.

A remarkable fact brought to light by the unusual circumstance that the October gross receipts of the Gary branch of the Air Line were greater la October than in July, which is usually expected to represent the high water on electric railroads.

East Chicagoan Buried Unknown to Kin; Dies of Heart Failure.

The funeral of Everett Lockman, who dropped dead from heart disease in a saloon last Thursday, was held yesterday afternoon from Huber and Badeauz chapel- on Forsyth avenue, East Chicago. The interment was at Oak Hill cemetery. Little is known of the deceased although he had lived in East Chicago for a number of years. It is thought he has a brother and two sisters In Erie, Penn., but repeated telegrams to that place failed to reach the relatives. ITB was about 45 years old and so far as anyone in East Chicago knows, single. He was a blacksmith by trade

and worked for Flack Bros, at times.

earnings were J9,.47.85. The gross earnings during the four months under consideration were ;as-follows: July, $19,207.17; August, $19,100.90; September, $18,877.97; October $19,510.62. That Is; 'a splendid showing, although' we didn't ; reach the $20,000 mark which this paper hoped for.-' The

population -of some $10,000 people, many of whom go to Gary daily. Naturally there is a great deal of riding between

the two cities. . The Pennsylvania (steam) railroad makes the ' trip In from forty to fifty minutes, according

to the train. The Air Line has been

taking an hour and a half. ".With the

greatest day in the history of the Gary i completion of the ut-off referred to

& Interurban so far was Nov. 16, 1912. ( elsewhere, even without further ballast.

July was at the height, of the summer season . when passenger traffic was at its-best. From July to Dctober the Air Line more than .' trebled Its business. The receipts in July .were $1,784.33; in Augtrst,8 $2,752 ;,,, in.- September, $3,110.15"; in October, $4,840.38. . In. analyzing these figures stockholders' should bear in mind the .fact that, not having cars, the company has not been able tot solicit freight business at all, except carload freight, originating on some connecting steam railroad. - In that case .our electric locomotive couples on to the loaded car, or cars, and no further equipment is necessary sq far as that shipment is concerned. What Mr. Miller desires to do and will do as soon as necessary additional equipment can be put to work. is to install a regular .dall freight service, running over the Alt Line system on an advertised schedule, and pick -up the, very desirable less-than-carload business, of which the district is full and which can be secured if we can handle it. We have not torched the Gary district so far as freight isconcerne,-with the exception

we can make the trip from Valparaiso

to the gates of the steel mills in a lit

tle more than one hour, which will be

fast enough to successfully compete with the Pennsylvania lines, from the fact that after reaching Gary over the Pennsylvania passenger's for the steel

miljls, or shopping district, find it nec essary to transfer to a street car, pay

lng an additional fare and consuming

much additional time. When the bal

lasting ' of the tracks has' been com pleted and some contemplated improve

ning time can be cut still further. Gary & Interurban Continue ltd Phe nomenal Showing.

The Gary & Interurban railway Continues Its remarkable record. . its gross receipts In October were greater than

in July, which usually Is the "hlgn-

October operating expenses, however.

were a little higher than in July, which made the net earnings less. In August the net earnings of this Air Line rail

net earnings were $9,476.85.

Man Thankful

Mr. C. E. Brooks, Marshall. Mich. Dear Sir: h. Perhaps it will interest you to know that I have been ruptured six years and have always had trouble with . it till 1 got your Appliance. It is very easy to wear, fits neat: and snug, and is not in the way at any time, day or night. In fact, at times I did not know I had it on; it Just adapted Itself to the shape of the body and seemed to be a part of the body, as it clung to the spot, no matter what position I was in. It would be a veritable OJod-send to the unfortunate who suffer from rupture if all could procure the Brooks Rupture Appliance and wear it. They would , certainly never regret it. My rupture Is now all healed up and nothing ever did it but your Appliance. Whenever the opportunity presents Itself I will say a good word for your Appliance, and also the honorable way in which- you deal with ruptured people. It is a pleasure to recommend a good thing among your friends or strangers. I am. Yours very sincerely, JAMES A. BRITTON. $0 Spring St.. Bethlehem, Pa.

Ten Reasons Why You Should Send For Brooks Rupture Appliance.. .

1. It is absolutely the only Appliance of the kind on the market today, and ni It aro embodied the principles that Inventors have sought after for years. 1. The Appliance for retaining the rupture cannot be thrown out of position. I. Being an air cushion of soft rubber It clings closely to the body, yet never blisters or causes Irritation. 4. Unlike the ordinary so-called pads, used in ether trusses, it la not cumbersome or ungainly. i. It Is small, soft and pliable, and positively cannot be detected through the clothing. . The soft, pliable . bands holding 'the Appliance do not give one th unpleasant sensation of wearing a harness. T. There is nothing about it to get foul, and when It becomes soiled it can be washed without injuring it in the least. 5. There are not metal springs in the Appliance to torture one by cutting and bruising the flesh. . All of tho material of which the Appliances are made is of the very best that money can buy. making It a durable and safe Appliance to wear. 10. My reputation for honesty and fair dealing is so thoroughly established by an experience of over thirty years of dealing with the public, and my prices are so reasonable, my terms so fair, that there certainly should be no hesitancy in sending free coupon today.

. Ta, ta, meaning au revoir but not

good-bye. At least that Is the interpre

tation th Indiana Harbor police give

it, else why would Charles Tata, who should know the meaning of the word better than anyone else, have returned

after bouncing a bottle oft Officer' Ga

briel Bede's head the night of Dec 1

and wishing him a merry ta ta as he

made his getaway?

This, however, is only one of many instances in which Charles has used

his name as a parting salute to the po

lice, only to return to their midst again

in a short time.

For example, Dec. 27. 1911,. Jan. 11

1917, July 25. 1912; and now he is with us again. In the July case his ta ta

was wafted from the comfortable con

fines of an automobile as he was being whirled to Crown Point, he having

elected to "lay it out" In the Hub.

His present predicament is the result of a little riot" he was mixed up in at 186th and Cedar on the evening of Dec 1. While Officer Bedes was taking care of several -of the other participants In

the fracas Tata slipped up from be

hind and handed him a wallbp with a

bottle, dazing the officer and permit

ting the otehr offenders to escape.

He will be tried today before Judge

George Reiland on two charges riot

MANY RIOTS MARK FORM FESTIVAL Greek Orthodox Celebration of Christmas Results in Broken Heads.

Three riots that began at midnight and ended at breakfast time this morning marked the close of the Greek orthodox Christmas celebration in

Gary's foreign quarters. Besides the riots, in which many broken heads were sutained, there were numerous outbreaks among the foreign steel workers that kept the police busy all night. Too,' much consumption of vodka is blamed for the troubles. The first riot call came in from 918 Jefferson street when the' police arrested several , foreigners. A little while later reserves were rushed to Slxteetnh avenue and Massachusetts street. Shortly before breakfast time a third cal came in from Eighteenth avenue and Massachusetts street. This morning' in' city court Judge Wildermuth, had a big aggregation of wounded rioters, their heads bandaged and their arms in slings, awaiting for him to dispense fines and jail sentences.
