CLUB ROW
ORGANIZED
At a meeting held at 2133 Washington street last night the- loyal followers ot Kx-Alderman Battleaxe Castleman. who is a candidate for mayor of Gary via an independent ticket, signed their names to papers that call for the incorporation of the club. The charter ' will also provide that clubs be organized in every ward. The name of the new organization is the '"Gary Citizens Club" and each ward organisation will have the ward numeral attached to It. Fleeced Taxpayers Join Club. Signers to the paper which will be for
ward to me secretary or state are as
follows: Attorney Richard Houren, J. M. Reed. Max Kirchman (real estate)
31. J. Castleman (real estate) Frank

and George Matsen.
Several of the members of the. club joined it because of the war Battleaxe is waging upon the Cain Construction company and the Illinois Improvement and Ballast company, a semi-subsidiary
of the steel corporation said to be owned in part by speculating officials in that big concern. Taxpayers unable to pay the high assesmmts levied for
street paving are flocking to Battleaxe' s
standard.

majority In the house would be much smaller after the next election than it is in the present house. He said he never wanted to see another house with as big a dtnocratic majority as this one. CARTER MAKES SPEECH. Representative Barney Carter of
I Hammond, a street car conductor and
a member of organized labor, made a speech in which he served notice on the house that If this bill was passed the .'democratic party would have" to account for it at the next election. Other, -- members : -made - similar speeches, and the prediction was freely made that thousands of votes were being' lost by the democratic party in this state by the actions of the legisla
ture.' But the bill wag passed, and this was followed by the" killing of the shotnrers" bill in the senate. This legislature has developed into a real riot of extravagance and foolish legislation. The brakes are off and the legislature Is running wild. The only quesfion now is whether the republican party -or the bull moose party will profit by. the bad record which the legislature. Is making. Certain It is that one or the other will be. the win&r. The sheriffs' salary grab bill which gives sheriffs more money for feeding prisoners, a large number of new fees, and which legalizes all of ' the money which they collected and ..retained! under the law of 1909 which was declared unconstitutional by ' the supreme' court, 'also was' finally passed and will, go to the governor. This

will cost the taxpayers of the state a hundred thousand dollars. . The governor has signed the two anAuken bills, growing out of the fire which destroyed the court house at Auburn. One provides that where the record of a judgment has been destroyed the judgment, creditor must either bring proceedings to restore the record within six months or a Hen on real estate under such judgment will be void... The other la a companion bill. He has : also signed the Ratt's bill providing, that deeds and mortgages shall take precedence according to the time they are filed for record. The present law allows forty-fiv edays for the filing of deeds and mortgages, but this is cut out. lie has signed also the Van Nuys bill authorizing cities to purchase and operate telephone plants. The present law gives cities the right to own other utilities, but not telephones. The Parks bill for the establishment of public playgrounds In cities of the fifth class, the Cravens' bills authorizing the organization of companies to guarantee
1 mortgages and the Boyer will to es
tablish a- teachers' pension fund ini Terre Haute were signed. f It was planned yesterday to introduce in the house a bill to Increase the salaries of . the supreme and appellate court Judges to $7,500 a year, bcause it had - been rumored that the conference committee on the appropriations bill had decided to cut out these, increases from that bill.j The scheme became known, however, and the bill was put aside. It is known that the Judges of these two courts have been lobbying like harvest hands for these increases in their salaries, and this is the first time in many, years that this state has witnessed the spectacle of dignified judges of the .highest lourts in the state descending from their high positions to work for salary grabs. In view of the fact that the legislature has spent money right ond left, has increased salaries , without any regard to justice or right, and has turned .labor down on every single proposition that has come up, has given the democratic party a severe black eye. So many bills have been' passed by both houses in the last few days that
It would be useless to
track of them. Even the members themselves do not know what they have passed. " The workmen's compensation bill introduced by Representative Koenig of ort Wayne, was passed by the house.
J after It had been amended by reducing
me proposen salary or tne commissioners under it to $2,000 a year, thus making it impossible to get the right kind of men to take the places. This, of course, will make the bill and Its operation practically worthless. If It gets through the senate, and thus labor gets another swat.

' The case was tried before Judge William C McMahon in the Lake Circuit court and McMahon ruled against the closing of the road. The case was then appealed to the appellate court of the state.

Attention, was centered primarily on confining the flames to the tunnels, and to protect the power house and tho office buildings. It is not thought that the pipes in the tunnels were very much damaged by the heat. . All together It was one of the hardest fires that the firemen have been up against In a long time.
