THREATEN TO ARREST RUHAWAYJDIANIANS Serge an tat-Arms Telegraphs and May Follow With Personal Service.

(Special to Thb Times.) Crown Point. Ind., Oct. 10. Hon. J. B. Feterson congressman from this distrist left for Washington lust night having; been called home for the weddlng of his daughter. Washington. Oct. Id. Telegrams of a very positive character were sent to the six absent Indiana members of the House yesterday whose presence is wanted in Washington to help to make up k' quorum. The telegrams were ao warm that the office of sergeant at arms dtcline to give out the text, fearng that publicity would damage the prospects of these solons when they run for re-election nut year. It s known, however, that each of the Hcvosier absentees 'was urged to come at once to the capitol and was asked whether he would accept this telegraphic summons in lieu of personal service. Otherwise, it was indicated in the telegram, a deputy sergeant at arms will be sent to Indiana to make arrests. Each absent member was ask ed to reply by telegraph to the mesaage sent him. Wh.lt Sergeant-at-arms Gordon had not heard from any of the Indianians toright, it was learned that telegrams of a private nature were flying back anil forth between some of the Hoosiers who are in Indiana and Lincoln Dixon, dean of the delegation. Dixon declined ith great emphasis . to make public theue messages or even to admit that there was any agitation on the subject as far as the Indiana members are con cerned. The arrest of . any Indiana member would put a damper on the po litical future of the one arrested and n fact might retire him .'from public life. STEWART IS IN NO HURRY. CERTAINLY NOT Authorities Temporize With -Rich Chicago Man; Why? After making promise after promise that he would come out to Hammond and make arrangements to furnish bond because of the death of Charles Chick of Hessville, who was run over and killed by his automobile last Sat urday evening, A. T. Stewart, a wealthy Chicagoan, failed to put in his ap pearance again yesterday. The Hammond police and county authorities have become indignant at Stewart's promises, and unless he makes some definite arrangements today and complies with the orders of the police, a warrant will be sworn out for his arrest. Saturday evening Stewart rn down and killed Charles Chick at Hessville, and stating that he would get a doc tor, he left hs victim to die and never returned. Luckily the license number of his car was secured by witnesses and by the efforts of the police and Chicago detective agency, Stewart was located in Chicago. As Stewart is a prominent Chicago business man, the authorities took no steps to bring him to Indiana. Stew art's attorney promised faithfully that he would have his client here Tuesday, but neither showed up. Wednesday and Thursday they were also expected, but as yet Stewart has disregarded all promises and it looks like he thinks he can do as he pleases when he faces a charge of manslaughter. Coroner Shanklin ha-s heard the evidence of two witnesses, but will be unable to - render a- verdict until he secures Stewart's side of the accident. Mr. Shanklin stated this morning that he expects Stewart out some time today. If he doesn't show up he will hove reached the end of his rope. BABY SWALLWS KNOTTS BUTTONS; READ THE STORY Dr. J. E. Metcalf.was sitting In'" his office in the Security building in Gary this morning when his phone rang. "This is Mike Scrubovitch, doctor. My baby has just swallowed a Tom Knotts button. Come right away to Sixteenth and Jefferson." "All right. I II be down right away. In the meantime, Mike, you go over to the drug- store and get a roll of Johnson & Johnson Red Cross antiseptic cotton and have it ready when I get there." "Did you say Johnson cotton for my baby?" asked Mike. "I did. That's the only kind sold in Gary." "Well, doc. you needn't come. I'm a' Knotts man and I don't want any Johnson cotton around" my baby Knotts might fire me from the street department. Anyhow, I would rather have the Knotts button inside him." "Then go chase yourself. Get a Knotts doctor," Dr. Metcalf said, as he banged down the receiver. It is understood that Mike got Dr. Faulds, w,ho -Is said to have proroi.-ed not to use any of the Johnson cotton. Make that cold room bearable with a Gas Heating Stove. No. Ind. Gas St Slec Co.

DEMOCRATS OPEN THEIR

CAM

Hammond democrats listening to the keynote orator, Attorney Jos. Conroy, at the Jefferson Club meeting last night, heard him pay one of the finest compliments to Attorney Peter Crum- ! packer, the republican candidate for mayor, that any man could expect, and which no candidate ought to expect in an opposing campaign time. Peter. Crumpacker- is an honest man," said Mr. Conroy, "and I do not mean this in Shakespeare's sense, when he makes Marc. Anthony say in Julius Caesar. 'Brutus is an honorable man." " Mr. Conroy's roses for the republi can candidate were however not with out thorns. Conroy as a good democrat and campaign orator felt the nec essity of heckling the opposition and for lack of a vulnerable point tried to raise in the minds of his audience a question, of Crumpacker' s fitness for office because of the latter's letral training and practice. H. P. Downey, president of the Jef ferson Club presided. Conroy1 was fol lowed by Mayor Smalley, Judge Beck er, John Rohde and John Gavit. Mayor Smalley in place of an address read

SAD A! SUDDEN

DEATH Sudden death, due to an acute dlla- . tion of the heart, last night took away Mrs. J. Arthur Da'ls. one of Ham mond s social favorites. Neither her I family nor her friends, and probably she herself not, were aware at any time that she was in Imminent dan- I ger. She was found on her bed in the parovysms of death by Agnes Wagner, the nurse girl who is employed in the borne at 835 Ada street. As nearly as can be established she passed away at half past eight o'clock, and according to . physicians, without much pain. In a depe-rate hope and effort a pulmotor was applied, but without the slight est recompense. Four physicians, Drs. H. C. Groman, George Miller. H. J. Wnlteand her own faUuiVlr.i.A, .3. Clark of Indianapolis,' who had'beeri visiting at the Davis home since, last Monday were summoned to her . bed side, all too late however to be as assistance. . . . ..... Mrs. Davis, her infant daughter and only child, .and the nurse girl were alone at home in the evening. The husband. Dr. Davis, was detained at his dental office down town, and had been unable to be home for the even ing dinner. He had left her at her home about three o'clock in the after noon after they had been motoring for two hours. While the nurse girl was preparing her little charge for the night, Mrs, Davis tossed herself on her bed with out undressing. Apparently she In tended to rest ther for a short period. Twenty minutes later Miss Wagner who intended to ask her a question, found her in a dying condition. Hur riedly she summoned help and tele phoned to the office for Dr. Davis and Dr. Clark. The news spread rapidly through the Maywood district and In few minutes the pretty home where Mrs. Davis had reigned as hostess on Innumerable occasions was besieged by mourning friends. Arrangements were made Immed lately to break the news to her mother at Indianapolis. The Rev. C. J.

to the audience his personal platform. The only planks In it, which might be made into an issue pledged him to municipal ownership of the water. light, gas and ice plants. Other public utilities, he advocated should not be acquired by the city until the city's valuation grows. John Rohde made an appeal to the voters to vote the straight democratic ticket. John Gavit said that if the democrats were successful this fall In the various municipal campaigns that the democratic would carry the county and the, tenth district next year. Ostensibly Judge Becker has burled the factional hatchet. He pleaded for the straight democratic ticket and party regularity. Mayor Smalley however was not compelled to dodge any large borjuets which might have come from the speaker. Evidently the democratic leaders are out to corral the sporting element. "Jimmy" Clabby occupied a prominent seat and was introduced for a speec as- a man who had made Hammond famous from one end of the country to the other. "Jimmy explained that they had heard Hammond as far away as Australia. OF MRS. DAVIS Mrs. Davis as one f M workers in the church as a sUnriv school teacher, volunteered to go to Indianapolis to accompany the mother back to Hammond.

She wan married to Dr. Davis at Indianapolis on June 26th. 1906, and has since then made her home here. In Hammond the brilliant young woman soon built up Another circle bf friends.
