with the Gary stei mills. Others optimistic as a result of the decision to build are Joseph Frost and T. W. Englehart, both heavy investors in sites near the plant.
Probably the most surprised democrat in Gary today is Mayor Thomas E.
Knotts and he has been surprised ever
since Saturday night when the demo
cratlc committee refused to carry .out
his bidding and name officers selected by him. The committee also refused to name the middle of May as the time of holding primaries for the city ticket
as the mayor wanted.
The new central committee met at the Knotts and McRoberts insurance office on Saturday evening-. Mayor Knotts sent word that he wanted John Dorman, vice chairman of the county
committee, named as city chairman. The committee elected Patrick C,
Finerty as Its chairman. Mayor Knotts
sent word that he wanted Rudolph Marass as vice chairman. The commitee named Dorman. Mayor Knotts sent word that he wanted Howard Bell named as secretary. The committee would not do it. Chairman Finerty was told to select his own secretary. G. M. Semmes was named treasurer and the committee decided that it wouldn't hold primaries until It got good and ready. And among the insurgent present was Tim Englehart. who Is again out of the Knotts bandwagon. Mayor Knotts' slate was announced In the Post and no one dreamed that there would be an opposition. It Is said that Mr. Finerty is pretty sore because he was deposed as street commissioner. As a result Gary may look for a new
democratic mayoralty candidate since the mayor hasn't got a strong hold on the committee.
MAN SLAIN BY TRAIN FOUND Continued from Par one
considerable distance. It is apparent that the accident occurred sometime early Saturday evening. It Is said the Wagonblast was sickly at times and may have suffered - a- sick spell before he was struck- v Wagonblast is 40 years old and had been missing from his brother's home at 492 Sibley street since early on Saturday. Fearing that something hart happened to his brother the Hammond police were notified and a search was made. He was single and formally lived In Crown Point. Funeral arrangements ave not been completed. . - The manner in which the dead body was discovered was unusual. The train dispatcher peered out into the dark
ness just at dawn this morning. He I thought he saw a dark object on the track. ' He looked again and again In an effort to penetrate the darkness and elisern the nature of the unfamiliar object on the ' tracks. Finally the out-' lines of a human figure were seen and as daylight, broke he saw that a man had been killed and his body cut to pieces. He notified Chief of Folice John OkraJ of West Hammond. Okraj went to Calumet Park and found that' the body lay within the city limits of
Burnham.- He accordingly notified Mayor Johny Patton. The body was taken to the Curtis morgue In Burnham to await Identification.
TIMES' BUREAU AT THE STATE CAPITAL.. Indianapolis, Ind.. April 28. Thirty thousand copies of the book containing the acts of the recent session of the legislature have been printed by the state printer, and they have all been delivered to the state authorities. It is one of the largest volumes of acts ever issued by a legislature, because of the unusual large number of lengthy new laws passed. The first copy for the book was placed in the hands of the printer on March 10, and the work was done with a rush, because it was necessary for all of the books to be out and distributed so that the governor could proclaim the laws in effect by May 1. That Is the day on which the new pubutilities law, which created the commission comes Into being. The public utilities law, which created the commission, says that the law shall become
effective on May 1, and a complication might arise If the governor was unable to Issue his proclamation placing
all of the new acts in force by that time. Under the law the secretary of state Is required to send a certain number of copies of the new acts to each county clerk In the state for the use of the respective counties. The county clerk is required to send the secretary of state a receipt for the books sent to him, and as soon as every clerk In the state has sent in his receipt and all of the receipts have been received by he secretary of state showing that the books have been properly . distributed the governor then Issues his proclamation declaring the new laws in force. The proclamation cannot be
Issued until all of the county clerk s receipts have been received. Some lawyers believe that the public service commission might find ltslf in an embarassing situation If the proclamation was not Issued by the 1st of May, but it Is thought that the law would stand and that the commission would have the right to take office at a later date If necessary. However, this question mfght be raised by some of
the utilities companies. It is quite certain that they would be very willing to raise, the question it by doing so they could knock out the commission. It is understood that nearly all of the county clerks have sent In their receipts for the books, and the proclamation of the governor may be looked for now most any day. The public service commission has not yet announced Its secretary. This is causing some uneasiness among the

With this possibility ahead, some of the old machine democrats are beginning to look around for a place to 'light." This Is the word that comes in from over the state as well as that which la heard in this city.

The arrival of The Times in East

It was the means of distinguishing the
optimists from the pessimists, vulgarly
known as knockers, but more tenderly
entitled "conservative citizens fiom
Missouri." . That there are still a good many doubting Thomases, was made clear by numerous small bets that were made, regarding the accuracy of the information given in The Times. These involveed various articles of wearing apparel.
from socks to lids,: to say nothing of
cigars enough to warrant the appoint
ment of a smoke inspector and drinks enough to float the Inland's largest ore
boat.
The optimists and the pesimists are
about evenly divided. But it Is doubt
ful at that whether any of the most
pessimistic of the pessimists are willing to sacrifice any propery that they
may own for the sake of backing up
their alleged convictions.
In the meantime the news created no end of excitement and it is a foregone conclusion that the big tract will be watched with keen Interest this week,
not alone depending upon the amonnt
involved in the beta.
