1620 Adams street, was crossing the Adams street and Sixteenth avenue corner with a chum. Somebody had given the tots a penny and they were goinit to a candy store. j As the two boys were crossing the ' street a wagon driven by Edward Hayden, a negro, showed in night. Kayden yelled to the boys to get out of his way and when litte Johnny didn't get there, fast enough, he kept on driving,, witnesses say. There was a scream

and a little body was writhing in thi street. J The negro looked back and then whipped up Ms horses although little Johnny's companion 'shouted to him that the. boy had been run over. 11 Cep Tod Ills Mother. A little while later the police arrived with Flnerty's ambulance. The remains were taken to Flnerty's morgue and one of the cops went on the sad mission of informing little Johnny'j .mother of his death. ..... It was not until four hours later that the police got the clue that led to -the arrest of Hayden. They found Andy Johnson a negro boy who had partly witnessed the accident and he thought that a bundle had dropped Xrom the wagon. The boy claims that he told Hayden to stop his team and pick up the bundle but that he kept right on. -The black swore by all that was holy .to Coroner Smith that "he dun knowing muffin" about it."

ARE YOC A TIMKS HEADER

A former Gary citizen, who made things lively in politics two years ago, is now giving Joliet, his old home town, conniption fits. The Joliet News of Saturday savs: 'William C. Crolius is in town quite often, looking up a house. Inquiring into the schools and otherwise scaring K. M. Allen and other prospective wardens out of their boots. Maybe Mr. Crolius thinks he will be the warden. If so. it is not the first time ho has filled himself up on hot air. Ho is showing a package of letters from William Jennings Bryan, the archbishop, a large number of priests, officeholders and other public men, and tells his friends he is coming sure this time. Upon the inside of those envelopes we hear that it is written by Mr. Bryan he is very sorry and all that, but could not think of interfering with state affairs, etc., and. that the bishop's reply says- his letter has been duly received, its contents noted, and in its proper order will be given deserved attention thanking so much for this opportunity and with the best regards, per secretary. And thus they run. Do not be afraid, Mr. Allen, stand by your guns. Tell him it is funny how some men try so hard to get into certain places, one way or the other and wait for his reply. Mr. Crolius belongs to the Roger Clare, Tom Sullivan, Billy Feely group of peculiar democrats, and so do Allen and Cronin and others we might mention, ahd If he returns to town there will be more kinds of fake foot racers, boxers, blue pencils and Shewshines than we had before,- because it is said Bill Crolius has grown bold, and has a face on him like a piece of leather. Bet he does not own any stock In Roger's gas. Billy does.

COBBLER TRAPPED AFTER THREE YEARS

Contlnueti from Pa;a one)

en other-girls, ranging from seven to twelve years. The aged cobbler has little to say regarding the accusations made against him. For three years, oft and on, the police have suspected that all was not as it should be with Stone and the many young girls who were In the habit of visiting his shop. Never before, however were they ab!e to find any substantial evidence on which his conviction might be secured. On a number of occasions the neighbors have complained, but either Stono suspected that he was being watched, and was careful at such times, or luck favored him. At any rate the police never felt justified in making any arrests until yesterday. Yesterday however the man was caught In his room with the two girls and all three were arrested. The girl gave their residence as Chicago. The Farmanck girl gave her home address at 933 Milwaukee avenue. She has been coming to East Chicago for two years,, she said, to see Stone. The Smith girl said she was generally employed at a canning factory in Chicago, but of late she had been stayingin Chicago. The arrest of the cobbler has caused intense excitment in the neghborhood, especially among the parents of young

girls. Stone will probably be tried for

Infraction of the Mann act.

eral complaints to the effect that the taxlcab men of the city are reckless

TIMES' BIKKAV . , AT THE STATU CAPITA1 Indianapolis, Ind., Feb. 10. This has been a busy week for Indiana's lawmakers. They have worked early and late and have done much work, but Indiana has no more laws today than it had a week ago. The house has passed a lot of bills. The senate has passed a lot of bills. Each house has passed a number of the other houses' bills, but they have not reached the governor for his signature, and no bill becomes a law until after the governor has signed it. But the coming week looks like it might produce some new laws, for a number of bills are said to be ready for delivery to the governor.. Xbree important ehinga were done la

the past week, and all were done by the house first, the Tingle inheritance tax bill was passed. Next the Spencer public utilities bill was passed by. the house by a unanimous vote the first time in the memory of man that the house has done this on an important measure. Next the house refused to pass the garnishee bill, after the bitterest fight of the session. The coming week will see the introduction of the general appropriations bill, and It is predicted that when it comes in it will surprise some of the members of the house with Its great increases in appropriations. In fact. If reports are true, the bill will run hundreds of thousands of dollars higher than the appropriations bill of two

mittee has raised salaries in many instances. ' It is known that it has agreed td"in;rea'i5e the salaries of all ' of the

help in the office of the secretary of state. Also that it has added a thousand dollars a year to the salary of James H. Fry, state oil inspector, raising him from $2,500 to $3,500 a year. Increases have been made In the salaries of all the state superintendent of public instruction and all of his deputies and assistants. The state library commission gets' more, the board of accounts gets more, -the state veterinarian gets more, and various other officers or departments get more for their maintenance the next two years that they got two years ago. The exact amount of . the increase is not yet known. I I ( All of this is for the ifegular maintenance of jthe state offices and institutions, andi does not have anything to do with thje appropriations that will be made for new work, improvement or addition i to the institutions. These things all c me in the specific' appropritions bill, which wlil ie Introduced later In the session. Judging from the talk that has been going on and from

Gen. Bernard Reyes, Released from

Jail by Aatl-Maderlata Only ta Die fa Fighting Before Palace. bers of the legislature in regard to the state institutions the appropriations for these purposes for . the institutions will also be much larger than they were two years ago, in spite of the cry for economy and reduced expenses. Just what will happen to these bills1 when they are introduced in the house is a question. The house is full of farmer ' members and members from Bmall towns, and they have thus farstood opposed to - increasing salaries for anybody or increasing expenses in any way. Every time a bill has shown up to make an Increase they have Jumpeed on It and kicked the life.out of it. Whether the appropriationsNbitl will suffer the same fate no one can tell, but it is safe to assume that there will be someone ready with amenJments to cut out the proposed Increases in salaries, for tfcere are increases proposed in anmy places where there is no justification for any increase. It was interesting- to hear United States Senator Shlvely come out flatfooted, in his speech at the house. Friday, in avor of the director nomination or election of United States senators by the people. This declaration called forth loud applause. By makingthis declaration Senator Shlvely made ' it plain that he is not afraid of Tom Taggart or- any other man ln,.- contest for the votes of the democrats of Indiana, Taggart, a short time ago. also announced himself as absolutely in favor of the director election of senators, and said no friend of his would oppose the idea. So it looks like a scrap between Taggart and Shlvely for the nomination for United States senator two years from now. ' It is understood that there are only three institutions in the state that fail to get Increases in their maintenance appropriations at the hands of the ways and means committee. They are the

Central Hospital for the Insane, the Northern Hospital for Insane and Woman's Prison. All the others get increases. It Is planned to have the appropriations bill printed and ready to place on the desks of all of . the members of the legislature next Monday. The house committee on county and township business has - recommended for passage the bill Introduced by Representative Moellerlng to raise the pay of deputy assessors of the townships in which Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, South Bend, Evansville and Terr Haute Haute are situated from $2 to $3 a day. - The committee also decided to recommend for passage Senator Fleming's bill to authorize the commissioners of Allen county io condemn gravel pits for construction purposes and killed the Madden bill to make assessments for taxation every two years instead of annualy as now. The Tingle Inheritance tax bill, which has passed the house, has been recommended for passage by a. senate committee.' - There was no session of either the house or senate Saturday. They adjourned Friday afternoon until, this afternoon.
