wheel broken and the car sklddlne into the ditch, the machine was easily upset. Before either one of the occupants could Jump the heavy auto lay turned upside down and Miss Gerhard underneath. Johnson was pitched Into the ditch. No human sound came from the car. The man called frantically and soon made out the woman's form under the machine. He tried to lift the weight from her body but was helpless. He called her time and again.

(lis lights had been demolished and by the flicker of a match he caught a

glimpse of her face. He could not tell whether she was dead or merely un

conscious. He knew he could not lift the weight from her. He also knew that she could not live long In the position she lay. So he started the most ilesperate hunt ever a person here

abouts made. Nowhere could he see a

light from a farm house. Ke walked

aver the crest of a hill and finally saw glimmer through the fog. He followed this and came to the farm of Seorge Taeger. From there more help was summoned by telephone and Henry Orelvlng, Tony DuBols and George Nondorf, farmers in that neighborhood responded. Henry Batterman came from Dyer in his auto accompanied by Dr. J. A. Chevlgny. Chicago Heights police arrived on the scene In an auto accompanied by another physician. As life savers the presence of all was needless. The physicians could only pronounce her dead. James Johnson said to Tub Times this morning, that he did not know how long his brother and Miss Gerhard were acquainted. He was sure they were not engaged. Miss Gerhard has

taught in the Chicago Heights schools for three years. She was popular with everybody who knew her and was handsome in appearance. She has a

horse racing Is not per se unlawful, but that it becomes obnoxious to the law when it is used as a means of gambling," wrote the governor. "At the time of ordering out the militia I believed, and now believe, that the race course was being used as an instrument to promote gambling and that the owners thereof were knowingly allowing their property to be used for such purpose. It was evident that the local officers were either not attempting to prevent gambling or were unable to prevent it. No Doubt of Authority. "I never had any doubt as to my authority in tho premises. However, upon receipt of your letter, I submit

ted the question to the attorney general of the stato and requested his official opinion concerning the same. I hold to the same apinlon as that expressed by the attorney general and

must, therefore, as chief executive of the state, refuse to agree to such sub

mission to the courts."

The attorney general held that the governor alone shall determine upon

the necessity of using state troops for

any purpose and that, it being a gov

ernor's duty to decide such questions. It would not be proper to submit such a

proposition to the courts.

Mr. Knotts declared in his letter that the race track, "if we can run races thereon," is worth $100,000, but

without racing it is worth scarcely $10,000. While his racing association

has been greatly damaked because of

troops preventing the completion of

race meet, Mr. Knotts says that he

would be willing to agree that only nominal damages be recovered In case

the courts should hold that the gov

ernor acted without authority In stop

ping the races. Knotts suggests that

a constable, wun or witnout a star,

could have done what the state troops

did.

Denies Effort W Made.

"We contend that if there was gam

bling, there was never any legal effort made by any one, except ourselves, to

prevent 6r stop the same," reads

Knotts' letter to the governor. "We contend that there was no mob, riot, violence, disorder or any other act or acts requiring or legally Justifying the presence or use of trie militia, and that if, under any circumstances, they

could have been used, it should have been to prevent the unlawful acts, and not the lawful one. WTe also contend that if, as you Bay, the racing afforded the means of gambling, we, as citizens of Indiana, where courts are constituted to try violations of the law to the end that no one shall be deprived of his property without due process of law, civil right not having 'been theretofore suspended or military law proclaimed, should have been brought into court, where we might be heard in our own defense; that we have been deprived of our property and the use

thereof without due process of law, and that you had no legal right under all the circumstances to stop the racing or take forcible . possession of our property." Knotts Gives Reason. In giving his reasons for urging a

settlement of the question In court

Knotts wrote that "the governor also ought to know definitely whether or not he has the legal right to order out

the troops to suppress anything he may

deem unlawful upon his own motion

or upon the request of some local of

ficial or citizen when no force or resistance whatever is offered, no arrests made or attempted to be made, no warrants Issued or attempted to be issued, no threats made, no menace or intimidation offered, no concert of action, no persons present but what any local constable, with or without star or war-

and the reduction of the forces at Gary, South Chicago and Joliet and to the still more foolish report of a contemplate abandonment of the Gary plant, I wish to say emphatically that there la no intention to close any mill or any plant. Certainly no mill ivtll he closed unlet, ft buiinru actually compels ua to do so, and that Is Inconceivable at the present time. The story about the proposed closing of our new and splendid plant at Gary is so foolish that it is not worthy of a moment's consideration, while the motive alleged that we wish to create widespread dissatisfaction among the laboring people and to create a sentiment in favor of the government dismissing its suit for the dissolution of the steel trust is ludicrous. t'loalng Story I'utrue. No one should believe for a moment either that we would abandon the Gary plant so Ions; as there is any steel business to be done at all.

WHY 7000 DRUGGIST

Guarantee and Recommend Vinol.

If any one should know the value

of a medicine it is the retail druggist who sells it.

Therefore, when over seven thousand

of the best retail druggists In the country recommend Vinol, our delici

ous cod liver and iron tonic, without

oil, as the greatest tonic reconstructor and strength creator they have ever

sold, it must indicate the value of

Vinol.

We could publish columns of such

testimony as the following:

J. C. Brady, druggist of Fall River,

Mass.. says: "In cases where cod liver oil, emulsions and other tonics fall, Vinol will heal, strengthen and cure."

C. A. Potterfleld, druggist of Charles

ton, W. Va., says: "It is a pleasure to

sell Vinol as It gives such universal

satisfaction."

Hunter & McGee, druggists, of Jack

son, Miss., say: "We have great confidence in the strength creating and curative value of Vinol."

We ask every run-down, nervous.

debilitated, aged or weak person or any person suffering from chronic coughs, colds or bronchitis, to try a

bottle of Vinol with the understanding that their money will be returned if it does not do all we claim. I. Harry

or that under any . circumstances we would close a mill as a coercive or retaliatory measure. We are only too anxious to keep our force intact. We shall keep up our full force of workmen in all the plants unless and until business compels us to do otherwise, and, as I Bald, that does not now seem at all likely. . As a matter of fact, and to be Kpeclflc, I TtUh to any that the reports that there have been large number of men laid off -fiOO at the plant at Birmingham. Ala, and undefined numbers al Joliet, Gary and South Chicago are untrue. The question of reducing the number of men at any of our plant ha not come up at all a yet. Of course, all men familiar with the steel buslnes know that it is usual, if business declines temporarily to take advantage of that fact to repair and place in prime condition mills that have been run continuously for a long time and which are in need of attention and repairs. When necessary, we have, in dull times, closed some of the minor

mills in one of the plants those mills which we use only as emergency mills when the demand la very great and is as large or larger than the full capacity. Whether we shall close any of these emergency mills this winter I do not know. I hope and believe not. Corp Commander There.

FROM BAD FIRE

their screams, ran to their assistance. She picked up the boy who was first in her path and rushed to the back yard where she rolled him in the sand in the hope of extinguishing the flames. Then she ran frantically back to the house In which a fierce fire was alreadyraging, for the other little one. The fire department arrived a few minutes later and found the mother and child with the clothing of each ablaze, and half suffocated, unable to leave the building. Lieut. Arthur Newton and Freman Mike Petro rushed them to the outer

air, ana e: ingulshed the Barnes on evTig and additional evidence

some of the firemen applied themselves to the task of putting out the firs In the building, while others sought for a

conveyance in which to take the injur

ed to a physician. In the mean time the father, who, was nearby had heard of the danger to his family and had hurried to the scene. One of his hands was badly, burned in an effort to rescue his family. The two children were burned all over their bodies and were in the most frightful agony, and the woman was suffering with the double anguish of mind and body, she having been severe

ly burned about the fact, neck and

arms. 1

Some time was lost in getting a conveyance, but after a while a cab was secured an'l the suffering family was taken to the Schlieker drug storo where first aid was rendered by Drs. Schlieker, Raleigh P. Hale and Townsley. All four of the Injured were then rushed in an ambulance to St. Margaret's hospital. Mrs. Scerda, although suffering greatly, refused to have her injuries attended to until all that could be done had been done for the children. Then

she allowed the physicians to dress her own burns. LITTLE HOPE LEFT FOR MRS. FAIRBANKS Indianapolis, Ind., Oct. 24. The condition of Mrs. Charles W. Fairbanks, wife of the former vice president, who

is seriously 111 with pneumonia, was slightly improved last evening. The physicians in charge, however, say that there Is little hope of her recovery, j

May Help You if Lungs Are AlfecterJ Proper diet, fresh air and temperate habits are beneficial to persons suffering from Lung Trouble; but in a great many instances reports show that the addition of medicine for this affection has materially helped in bringing about recovery. For more than fifteen years Eckman's Alterative, a medicine for Throat and Lung Troubles, has accomplished good results. Read what it did in this case: Madison Lake. Minn. "Gentlemen: In December, 1908, March 1909, and September, 1909, I was taken with hemorrhages of the lungs which confined me several weeks, each time to my bed. My doctor advised me to go West. In November I started for Denver, Colo. After my arrival I met

Michael Brody, who, upon learning of my condition, urged me to take Eckman's Alterative. I kept on taking the medicine and improved fast. In March, 1910, I returned home. I am entirely well, have a good appetite and sleep well. When I left Denver my weight was 130 pounds. I now weigh 165, my normal weight. I thank God and your Alterative for my health." PAUL L. FASNACHT. (Affidavit) (Above abbreviated; more on request.) Eckman's Alterative has been proven by many years' test to be most efficacious for severe Throat and Lung Affections, Bronchitis.
