BECKER IS THE WEST Hammond's Premier Politician to Look After Ranch Interests ' Judge Becker who planned to leave late today or tomorrow for the west ;to look after his ranch Interests in (Montana, will return In the firft week in September, ready to support the J democratic city ticket which is to be named next Saturday, according to a ; conversational statement to a Timbs reporter this morning. "With eighteen candidates on the ticket who are good friends of mine. what else could I do?" laughed the Judge. Upon second thought however 'he modified this statement with refer ence to the number saying that even .though there may be not quite so .many, that five of the candidates for alderman at large were friends of his that the same is true of the candidates for city clerk and city treasur er, and that among candidates for city Judge it would be hard to choose bei cause of his past personal relation jwlth some of them. ' Sometime naro .Tudsre Rflfir In " u similar conversation with aTiMEs reporter said that he had informed Mayor j Smalley that he would vote for him i in case he would be renominated and touching on this subject again this ; morning he referred to the break be tween himself and his former controller whom he made mayor and salif ,that long ago he had told Mayor Smal- ' ley that he would not support him for the nomination. The conversation was carried on in the presence of a strong Smalley supporter, and when the latter gave it currency in the Smalley circles it created somewhat of a flurry. Xt was taken up there and discussed In connection with statements which Dr. Howat is said to have made iat night in a public place. The physician-candidate was out of town this afternoon and could not be reached for a verification of the report which credits him with having said In a rathor heated conversation that Judge Becker instead of being a supporter of his is a Smalley supporter. Judge Becker's leaving on the eve of the 'primaries is explained In various ways in political circles. His own explanaton Is that business matters call him and that he should have gone long ago. He explained his delay by saying that he wanted to see what course a series of newspaper artfcles for campaign publicity would take so he would be in a position to fitfht back in case his name were drawn into the fight.

Mayor Zehrung of Lincoln Nebraska on Reaching Home Expresses Views in Long Interview

(Special to The Times.) Lincoln, Neb., July 30. Mayor Zehrung of this city Is enthusiastic over macadam roads since his return from Chicago and the Calumet region cities in Indiana. "The people out here," he said, "do not realize what the east is doing in the line of good roads. It Is marvelous. "I spent a week in Chicago. One day I drove from Chicago to Hammond, Ind., then to Whiting, Crown Point, and Cedar Lake, where we stopped for a chicken dinner. AVe then drove back fifty miles to Chicago, making 110 miles in all. It was on this drive that the value of the macadam roads first struck me. BOO MILES OF PAVEMENT. "There are 600 miles of good crush ed rock macadam roads In Lake coun ty, from sixteen to twenty, and thirty feet in width. They are built by direct taxation upon the county and it requires thirty free holders on a petition to secure a hearing on a road. In 1913 this county has already spent $500,000 The Chicago avenue bridge. East Chicago, is now- completed and yesterday the county commissioners and a number of others interested inspected the big bascule bridged The latter is the only bascule bridge in this country, and probably in the world, which provides for three street car tracks, ac cording to those who are posted on such matters. For the first time the bridge vas raised by means of the elec'rlcal ap pliances with which it is equipped. The raising an dthe lowering of the structure were accomplished without any difficulty.

TELLS OF BANDITS OUTRAGES Hammond Man From Tamaulipas Says Situation Is Fearful. C. F. Templeton of Tamaulipas, Mexico, who is revisiting Hammond, his former home, has explained the Mexican situation to inquiring friends In terms that closely resemble Sherman's summary of the civil war. In Mexico It is a case of rotten politics, bands of vagrant brigands, and a lack of respect for American life and money, says Tern, pleton. . His home is in a district slightly affected by the rebellions and quasi-re-bellions. To friends at the Hotel Majestic he said that the only salvation is for the United States to intervene as it did In Cuba. "When the brigands come down frort. the mountains, sack a town, commit outrages, assault the women and get good and drunk it can hardly be satisfactory to citizens of the United States in those parts," said another traveler. Back From Vacation. After spending a 15 days vacation. Officers Trinen and Schaadt, returned for duty at the Hammond central police station ihis morning. , Members of the department thought "Bosh" was going to slip one over and step into the double harness while on his vacation, but "Bosh" says he couldn't get up the courage and is still listed among the bachelors. Officers Charles Carlson and Emil Bunde will .leave today on a 14 days furlough. A change will also be made in the vacation list of the fire department tomorrow, each being granted a 15 days furlough. Z. D.
