George Damerel, last seen as the prince in the "Merry Widow," will head the company that will be seen at the Hammond theatre on next Wednesday evening. The piece Is called "The Heart Breakers" and is the latest musical comedy to be sent out by Manager Mort H. Singer. No expense has been spared by Manager Singer in costuming, chorus, scenery, electrical effects to make "The Heart Breakers" one of the best, if not the best, musical play that he has ever sent out under his management. The music is catchy and many song hits abound. One of those that is whistled everywhere is "Your Eyes, Tour Smile and You." sung by Mr. Damerel in the second act. Mutt and Jeff "Movies."

PARK TODAY A man believed to be John Smelter, either of Wheeler or Hobart, was found dead beside the Nickel Plate tracks at Glen Fark after 10 o'clock this morning. It is thought that he was accidentally struck by a Nickel Plate train. In his pockets were found two tickets, both bought at Glen Park, one reading to Wheeler and the other to Hobart. He appears to be a man about 60 years old and was well dressed. Tlie remains have been taken to Finnerty's morgue. CERTAIN mat tnere is going to be an enormous amount of work done on the railroads of the country during the coming year is shown by the follow ing report from the Railway Age Gozette: "With the shortage of labor which is certain to develop during the coming season, and which will be more serious than that of 1912 if present. Indications of the amount of 'work to be undertak en are accurate. It is highly esential that those in charge of maintenance of way work make every effortto start as early in the spring as possible. ThoBe roads which started early last year not only got practically all the men they required, but were enabled ot select their Jorces to a large extent and secure them at a rate considerably lower than that paid later in the sea son. When wages advanced about the middle of. the summer they were able n some Instances to let many of their men go without serious detriment to their work, while other roads which started late in the season were unable to secure the number of men required. and in a number of instances were forced to postpone needed improvements entirely." OFF ON A WOLF HURT Stirred toy stories of timber wolves which are' said to be ranging the thickets of the Band dune region of Lake and Porter counties, John Nimeta of Black Oak and three others Invaded this territory today in the hope of bringing home a few skins. In the party were John Ximetz, Henry Ewen and Frank Buse of Black Oak and William. Grugel a veteran wolf hunter of Lansing, 111. They left Black Oak narly this moreing having made the trip In an automobile as" far as the roads were pasable. SUBSCRIBE rOH THE TIMES.

PROGRESSIVE UTILITIES ; MEASURE IS DEMANDED
TIMES Bl'RGAl; , AT STATE CAPITAL. Indianapolis, Ind., Feb. 24. Whether there will be a democratic senate caucus tonight on the public utilities bill is still a question. Governor Ratton has practically demanded that no caucus" be held. He says that the tilities bill should be brought out on the floor of the senate and put thruugh in the open, where the people can see uat what is going on, who is for the bill and who is against it. Flemlag to Support Governor. Senator Stephen B. Fleming, who has been one of the leaders In the fight to mend the bill, now has come out with a public statement in which he says he is for the kind of bill the governor wants and that he will be pleased to vote for the bill amended as the gov ernor wishes It amended.- He Bays that he, tool Is in favor of taking the bill on the floor of the senate and putting It through that way. Whether this means that Fleming had "laid down" In his fight for amendments to the bill is not known, but a good many persons are of the opinion that he has not been in favor of as many vicious amendments as was indicated by some of the reports and rumors that have been going round." Fleming's friends are insisting hat he has all along been in favor of a good bill and that he has never had; any serious disagreement with the gov ernor on what should constitute a good bill. ' Tags-art Still Maa Grip. But now that the, governor and Fleming both are against the caucus method of framing up the bill there is strong belief that the caucus will either not be held or that it will not take any action on the utilities bilL There is one important feature in this utilities fight that stands out above anything else, and that is that Thomas Taggart still has his hold cn the legislature. A few days ago, when the utilities bill fight was at Its height there was a suspicion that Taggart had lost his grip and that the legislature was slipping away from him. It was hinted that the traction companies had captured the legislature and that the utilities bill would be made to suit them, regardless of everybody else. This would have meant the overthrow of Taggart, for Taggart has all along realized that the people of the state want a good utilities bill and that they would riot be satisfied with anything else. la Looking Ahead. Everybody knows that Taggart is an aspirant for. a seat in the United States senate, and that he could not afford, under these circumstances, to ignore the wish of the public. Therefore, whether he felt so at heart or not, he has all along- been standing for a strong public utilities bill, and in do ing so he has incurred the enmity of the traction interests, which for so many years have been his friends. But Taggart and Governor Ralston are in full accord on the utilities proposition and they are working together. Taggart Waat the Credit. It has been general knowledge, also, i that when the session of the legislature' opened Taggart was in complete command. He was to be held responsible for the record of the legislature. If it is bad he will be to. blame for" It. If If Is good he will get the credit. This has been a strong incentive for his enemies to undertake to upset him and break his control. But there is every Indication today that he-is as strong in t the legislature as ever, and that the legislature will do what he tells it to do. That is the real foundation for the prediction that the utilities bill will be framed and passed according to the views of the governor, and the traction companies are not well pleased with these views. It l.-i a strange sight to look upon Taggart as a progressive. He has been a rank reactionary for so many years in politics that he had come to bo regarded as the special representative of all of the . special interests. Even he himself cannot quite understand what has come over him to make such a change. Cut when a man" has his eye

total cost has been about J40.000. "sot" on the United States senatorship he can sometimes see a light that he never saw before. Importast Bill Signed. Governor Ralston has signed the. Stahl-Yarling vocational educational bill, one of the most important pieces of school legislation ever enacted in the state. It will either be a monumental success or a monumental failure. It authorizes all counties to apply to Purdue for a man to be appointed as county agent for the vocational and agricultural departments in their schools. Bach county Is also to appoint an advisory board of five members, one of .whom shall be an employe and another an employer, the third being a plain citizen and the other two school men. This board shall advise with the county agent in regard to the schools. Each-county is required to establish vocational education in all city and town schools and agricultural education In all township and rural schools. A special tax levy is provided for which It is estimated will raise 1S5.000 a year to carry on this work throughout the state. The law was enaeted as a result of an investigation made in the last two years by a commission appointed by Governor Marshall. The commission made a report that recommended that establishment of such a system. May Veto Burglars' Bill. It Is believed that Governor Ralsfon will veto the "burglars relief" bill en acted by the legislature.- The prestnt law fixes the penalty for burglary at ten to twenty years. The new bill re duces it to two to fourteen years, and provides that all burglars now in the penitentiary unHer the ten to twenty , year law shall be eligible to parole. It is regarded as one of the most vicious pieces of legislation ever enacted and police officers and others from all over the state have been urging the governor to veto it. The governor also Is believed to be contemplating vetoing the Isenbarger bill which would require county commissioners to levy a special tax on each county for the purpose of raising mon

Senate Behind on Work. The house expects practically to fin ish up all of its important business this week and then sit steady in the board and wait for the senate to catch up The senate has been wrangling over the utilities bill so long that it Is doubtful now whether it will be able to get through with anywhere near all of the important business that remains for it to do before adjournment. The specific appropriations bill is a special order of business in the house this aft ernoon, and it will be passed at ence and sent to the senate, thus adding to the further troubles of that body.
