HAMERSLEY HEIRESS BUYS ESTATE IN NEW YORK AND WILL BUILD FINE HOME
NEW OOINCIL CANDIDATES. Third Ward: J. Edward Burns, and John Pascajy. Fifth Ward: John F. Cunningham. Eighth Ward: John P. Schneider.
The ' race for councilnianic nominations in Hammond has apparently only begun judging by the way candidates are coming into the open. "With the announcement of Edward Burns yesterday and that tf John Pascaly today, tie third ward is promised a contest, a distinction which no other ward can claim so far. It will be a case of a new man in the game being pitted against a veteran in ward politics, for Pascaly has been successful three campaigns. What his opponent, Mr. Burns, lacks in experience is made up for by his friends' enthusiasm. Mr. Burns has been a resident of Hammond for more than five years. He demonstrated his faith in the city by erecting a substantial building on State street which he occupies with his undertaking establishment.
"My business U such," said Mr- Burns "as to bring me into every part of Hammond and into all kinds of homes. I have an opportunity to learn the needs of. the people and the city at first - hand.'" Only after friends importuned him ceaselessly did he decide to enter the race. John Tascaly in seeking re-election is 'figuring on the loyal constituency
which he has built up during three terms in the office. Early in the campaign, he was mentioned as a possible riayoralty candidate. but he .never made an effort in this direction. Mr. Pascaly is willing to submit his candidacy tothe voters on his past record in the city council. As a business man he Is one of the substantial men of the city, being one of the leading merchant tailors in Hammond.
John F. Cunningham of 418 State
street, candidate for the fifth ward eouncilmanic nomination is one of the popular railroad men of the east side.
He, is a switchman in the Gibson yards
and his fellow workers have honored
him with the presidency of Switch-) man's Union, local 67. Some of Mr. j Cunningham's friends urged him to run for councilman at large, but he decided to content himself with the fifth ward nomination. He has been a resident of Hammond for fifteen years. "When I tell the people of my ward that I stand squarely on the platforrl with Judge McMahon," said Mr. Cunningham, "I need not say anything else, for we all know what he stands for." John P. Schneider of 156 Fayette st..
candidate for councilman of the eighth ward has the endorsement of many voters of his ward. He knows the needs of his ward and the city, and being a man of considerable experience along many lines, his friends feel that he would exercise good judgement as a councilman. Mr. Schneider is a plumber and steamfitter by trade and conducts his own business.

Indianapolis Ind., July 11. Thomas
Taggart got back to this city from the
east yesterday Just in time to join the Democratic Editorial Association today
on its excursion to Corydon, New Al

few other Indiana seaports. T. asso- i ington

elation is holding its annual meeting j It was said that when Tageart ar-
practieally on wheels this year, because j rived In Washington that day he openit will visit all of these places. Of ; ed a suite of rooms at a leading
course, the principal attraction will be
the time spent at French Lick as guests
of Mr. Taggart. There is no man on
earth who can show a bunch of good
fellows a better time than Taggart can,
and he never falls to do his best with
the Democratic editors. This is ac
counted for in various ways. One is
that he likes to be pleasant and congenial with, the fellows, and another
reason is that It will not do him any
harm politically to have the editors on
good terms with him.
Taggart called on Governor Ralston
rooms at a leadinor hotl
and began calling in Indiana Democratic congressmen. Whether he discussed the Cline candidacy with them
was not known. But it seems that ! some of the administration forces took J advantage of the situation and passed . ou the word that Taggart was trying' to help elect Cline. Taggart. however, ' says he was not doing anything of tha j kind, and people are takina- hi. wn '
as the truth. . Governor Ralston is making the trip with the editors, also. He expects to

Providing the weather is nice, the club is expecting a large attendance. The Lake George Gun Club will also hold their regular weekly shoot at Kindle's Grove, Sunday morningf and afternoon.
The First of Season. "Where The Trail Divides," a recent New York production, is to fill the opening date at the Hammond Theater this season, August 24. Manager Maurice Hankinson promises a season
of high class drammer and musical entertainment. To the extent of his
bility he will book from New York
instead of taking Chicago near successes that are wild catting or ones
that have had long runs, affording the theater public of this city a chance to see them before they get here.
Mr. Hankinson believes that in that
philosophy lies the secret of the show
business in regards to Hammond. II
We bring shows from New York that are on their way west they will turn out," he said.
A Big Pickerel. John Borem of North township caught a 23 pound pickerel in the Kankakee river at Shelby yesterday and Is bringing it to Hammond for exhibition in a store window. It is at least the prize catch of the season.
DOCTOR SAYS IT
IS NOT A MENACE
The catch basin in the rear of the L. E. Hohman building oh Hohman St., ear the c ity hall gave no little concern to residents in that neighborhood who made strenuous kicks to The Times. Now Dr. Weis, health officer, finds that this particular catch basin, one among hundreds in the city, is less offensive than many and not such a menace as was first stated. "At one time catch basins were universal in Hammond because of 'oor sewer facilities." said the doctor. "They were used to depose of wash water as the saop would stick in the sewer pipe. The water pressure is great enough now to flush our sewers but many catch basins are stlllo be found in use."

could guess. Mr. Taggart has entered an emphatic denial to the report that his presence and activity in Washington on the day of the election of a chairman of the Democratic congressional campaign committee had something to do with the defeat of Congressmon Cyrus Cline for that position. When the report was sent out from Washington and published Mr. Taggart wrote Cline a letter
calling attention to the report and asking him whether in his opinion the fact that he arrived in Washington that day had anything to do with his defeat. Cline has written Taggart a letter stating that he had nothing to do with the result. Taggart then wrote a letter to the Indianapolis paper which published the
story, and that paper printed the correspondence yesterday together with a statement from its Washington corres
pondent in which the latter says that common rumor was that Taggart's pres ence in the city on that date was taken by many of the congressmen to mean that he was seeking help to put Cline over a winner. This, he said, gave rise
to the talk that the administration for-

case before he left on this trip, but he did not. The state pardon board has made a divided report on this case. Two members have recommended that the GovernoV pardon the famous wife murderer and one member has filed an opposite report, recommending that pardon be refused. There has been a general understanding here that the governor probably would not grant the pardon, and Union B. Hunt, former secretary of state, and a number of othr prominent men. have asked the governor to give them an opportunity
to he heard in argument in favor of granting the pardon. The governor hs informed them that he will give them a bearing, and this probably will be done some day next week. It Is not thought that argument will change the governor's mind in this case, however. The request for the chance to make the argument came to the governor through Fred Caldwell, of Win
chester, who has been picked by Governor Ralston to take the place of Judge Andrew A. Adama on the appellate bench when the latter resigns the first of September to take a position as general counsel for the Arbuckle coffee house in New York.

When the firemen arrived a peculiar but beautiful sight was presented to them. Two of the Northem Indiana Gas and Electric Company' wires had become crossed in a a trees In front of Mr. Toner's residence, and the tree had all the appearance of a Christmas tree brilliantly illuminated with electric bulbs. Every leaf on the tree seemed to have a light suspended from it and the effect while terrifying was at teh same tim beautiful. Chief James Doherty at once realized .that an electrician was more needed in the emergency than a fire department and sent for Chas. Rewald of the electric company. He arrived soon after and with a pair of pliers had the electrlo pyrotechnics on the blink in a few moments.
