years we have aimed to give

that it will receive a unanimous, vote, just as the Spencer bill did when It passed the House., Thus, It looks like the end of the public utilities scrap is in sight. The committee on cities and towns will hold a public meeting at 5 o'clock this afternon to give the Interurban men a chance to be heard. They are Insisting that the interurbans should not be

service commission but not Interurbans. It is not thought, however, that the hearing this afternon will avail the interurban anything, for they them

selves expect the Spencer bill to be put through about as it stands now. The caucus also took definite action toward determining whether the state

shall hold a constitutional convention

It was decided that the law under which the lawyers amendment to the

constitution has been pending for sev

eral years shall be repealed at once,

and a new bill, bearing the name of

Senator Stotsenburg shall be introduced

and passed submitting to the vote of

the people at the next general election the question of whether the state shall

hold a constitutional convention for the purpose of framing an entirely new

constitution. If the majority of the people vote in favor of holding the convention it will consist of 150 delegates, elected as the one hundred rep

resentatives and fifty senators are now

i elected, and the convention will be call

ed for November 1915. It would be

I limited to a four months session. ! j The administration primary bill was

introduced in the: House yesterday aftJ ernoon by Representative Fleming. It iis not what was expected. It provides for a presidential preference vote by the entire state. State nominations i would be made by a state convention, made up of delegates elected from each j county. It provides for all nominaI tlons below the state ticket to be nominated at direct primaries unless 10 per cent of the voters of a county, city, town or township file a petition for ' nominations by convention. In that case delegates would be elected at primaries, which would be safeguarded by law as elections now are safeguardled. Fleming says the bill meets with

It is understood that county engineer

Ray Seeley is to be authorized to pre

pare the plat books showing all of the

buildings on every piece of property In

the county. This would cost approximately J1.500. These and other questions are to be taken up by the state board of tax commissioners Consisting of Dan M. Link, Col. C. C. Matson and Ex-Senator Eben H. "Wolcott, who are In Hammond today. It is expected that there will be twenty or thirty assessors from Lake, Porter, Starke, Newton and Jasper counties here for the meeting.

" Arthur Vogel of Magoun avenue. East Chicago, who works at the car shops In Hegewisch, had a mysterious find a few days ago. He visited the city" and while walking "In Madison street between State and Dearborn, fce happened to glance down an alley, where he saw a "man leaning out of a window on an upper floor of one of the tall buildings. He was frozen to tlie spot with horror for a moment, as the man's position was such that it appeared that he must lose his balance. He did not, however, and disappeared lnt2..HaJMrlorofthe building after he' had reached out and dropped' a package to the alley. A number of teams were standing

there and the package fell directly in front of one of the horses, which reared slightly, but as the driver was shoveling coal Into -a chute he. did not hear the parcel fall and paid no attention to his horse's momentary fright. . , r Curiosity Impelled Vogel, who appeared to be the only person in the throng that was hurrying by who noticed the incident, to pick up the par

cel. It was wrapped in stout wrapping paper and was square in shape. Vogel went into the entrance of one of the big office buildings near by and opened the package. It contained a box in which was a gold chain, an old Bible with covers broken and the edges of

and asked the diamond expert of the store to examine them. "Believe me, I felt a bit skittish when the man looked me over and asked me where I had procured the stones," said Vogel, "as I knew how ridiculous my story about how I obtained the package might sound to any one Inclined to regard me with suspicion. He didn't wait for me to answer, however, but handed them back to me with the comment, 'Paste, my dear man. They are not worth a penny"Well, I don't believe the fellow who. when he heard a bank in which he had been wont to deposit his money had failed, after consulting his bank book

: found he had no money in that nor in i any other bank, felt more relieved than

the leaves dog-eared, what appeared i i aid when I found these stones were

to be several unset gems, including ru- I

bies, sapphires, and diamonds, - some i

shells, a string of glass beads and a neatly folded handkerchief. Thinking that he had a clew which ir:i,hi i.sa "to" the arrest of some one involved in some of the recent Jewelry store robberies in Chicago, he was about to take the package to detective headquarters when he bethought him of ascertaining the value of the gems in his possession. So he went to a nearby Jewelry store to have the outfit appraised. It occurred to him, however, that he might be suspected of having had a hand In some robbery himself If he exposed the package In Its entirety to the

astonished eyes of the Jeweler, so he

thoughtfully selected two of the gems

not the real thing.

"I then Bhowed the man the entire outfit, explaining how I had come by it. He smiled and said I was the third man who had come to him on the same mission and with the same story. Ha said he thought there was a man in the building from which the package had been dropped who was either a monomaniac on the subject and, thought It was some Joke to fool pass

ers-by with past Jewels."
