Think Legislature Won't Change Date Hodges to Make Announcement for the Mayoralty Race Today. Dubious over the prospects of the legislature agreeing to advance the date of the city primaries scheduled for March until the summer or fall candidates for municipal office, at Gary are starting the campaigns on the basis that the preliminary battle will be two months hence. HodKH Make Holiut. Ex-City Attorney V. F. Hodges' announcement that ho is to run for the republican nomination for mayor was, scheduled to be given to the waiting world today. Mr, Hodges had previously advertised his candidacy when he discovered after three years on the city payroll that there was vice in Mayor Johnson's administration. The next step, after some fireworks In the council, v.'as Mr. Hodges' work in the Commercial club to probe into the Johnson administration. Mr. Hodges will have opposed to him for the nomination at least Mayor i Johnson. John A. Brenan. Dr. F. V. j Smith, and W. J. Williams. Curtis Or Knott Hy Democrats. The democratic . race undoubtedly will be between Ex-Mayor Tom Knotts and Ex-City Attorney Harvey J. Curtis. Ex-City Judge Ora L. Wildermuth has withdrawn, it is stated. and if Chairman V. C.

This order alone will consist of praeticall. 23.000 pieces twelve feet long and would make a good many miles of trenches. This does not seem as though the end of the war was a matter of a few weeks or months, but does put the war situation In another light, as to the duration of hostilities. In adJition to the above order mills are closing contracts for trench rails of light section and flats to be used Instead of ties, being booked by the steel mills by the thousands of tons for immediate delivery. Booking of sheel steel has not fallen below the past shipments and the mills are looking forward to even a greater year In 1017 than the banner U16 year. Thesrt contracts have been closed with the Ilinois Steel Company. Tk.e Inland Steel Company at Indiana Harbor, is booked up to capacity for 1917, and with their new structural mill which is to be put Into operation shortly will help to increase their shell steel capacity thousands of tons, in addition to the enormous amount of structural materia! ft can turn out. It has been authorititively announced that the entire output for 1917 of shell steel by the Inland people haa been contracted for by the French government. The British government is getting most of their shell steel and rails from the Canadian mills, which are turning out more tonnage now than has ever been known in the history of the Canadian steel industry. NEW YEAR'S HE RIOTS On the evening of December 31st a riot occurred at the works of the Marks Manufacturing Company at East Chicago, in which an Italian named Peter Glammi was seriously if not fatally hurt. lr. Teegarden. the surgeon in attendance, says that the man's skull was fractured just above the left temple. An operation was performed and it is possible that the patient will recover. Stray shots from revolvers that were used in East Chicago in ushering the old year out and the new one in. in two cases, came very near causing tragedies and plunging two innocent families into the shadow of death. The first one occurred at 12:10 a. m. at the home of John Andrews, saloon keeper. at 130th and Alexander avenues. Calumet. The bullet came from across the road in the vicinity of Lazo Raseta's saloon and passed through the wall of the bedroom in the rear of the saloon. Three children were sleeping there and the missile whizred 1"fs than six inches above their heads. The gun man could not Wund. About five minut nu V five shots ivere fired from K!

This will cost very little but is sufficient to remove every hard or soft corn from one's feet.

NEWv"PASTOR CATHOLIC CHURHES (Continued from Tage One)

Joseph's in Hammond. He was the first priest to celebrate imass in East Chicago in the Todd Opera House in 1S90. On December 12, 1904. Father Plaster celebrated his sacerdotal silver Jubilee and the congregation its silver jubilee of organization. A magnificent church and modern parochial sohool, rectory and convent stand as a monument to his zeal and the great loyalty that his congregation bore him. The announcements were made in St. Joseph's church by assistantFathers Scholl and Roederer. In Whiting Father l'.erg himself read the letter from Bishop Aldering informing him of his appointment and transfer. He received the news of his transfer on Thursday but never revealed a word tntil his sermon 011 Sunday. The transfer is in the way of a big promotion for Father Berg, but even at this he is loath to leave his people in Whiting, and they are indeed sorry to lose him. Father Berg was born in Edingen, near Treves. Rhine province. Germany. August 20, 1S61. He emigrated to America in August. 1SS0. He studied the classics in St. Lawrence's College, Mount Calvary. Wis., his philosophy and first year of theology in St. Francis Seminary. Wis., and completed his theology in St. Vincent's Seminary. West Moreland, Pennsylvania. He was ordained priest by Bishop Dwenger in Fort Wayne on June 15. 1S89. His ap pointments were: pastor of Reynolds.! Ind., with Medaryville and Franclsville as missions; pastor of Alexandria from June 8, 1S93 to Oot. 16. 1S93; pastor of Remington from October IB. 1&93 to July 4. 1905. and was appointed to Whiting on July 4. 1903. Father Berg's work since coming to Whiting has been remarkable. One 0r the. big undertakings was the erection of the present church and school uilding. the rectory and home for the sisters In 1910, the cost of which was about $65,000. This debt has been paid off by Father Berg's untiring efforts, with the exception of $4,000 which he hoped to pay in another year. The Whiting parish consists of aoout mree nuncrrea famil.es, the I school numbering three hundred and! sixty-five. Father Berg has worked' heart and soul for the Interest of' these people, the Protestants of the city having also benefitted by his co-' operation In every move and with! these people he was equally as popular as wnn tne members of his own flock. Next Sunday Father Berg will preach his farewell sermon expecting to take up his new duties at. Hammond about Jan. 10th. Father John Berg is a younger brother of Father William Berg of Pchererville. head of the Lake county deanery. OBJECTS TO G. & I. GRANT Louis Mr Derm it. son-in-law of C. II.

The new fr.-hi eliminating the thre-p cent fare clause was 10 naie oeen acted on today. McDe.rmit alleged that CD. Davidson as receiver for the Gary & Interurban had no legal right to enter into a franchise. U. S. STEEL CHAIRMAN SEES CHECK 'Continued from Page One) return to normal conditions. If the whole population, including the righ and poor, the employers and the employe, and also the government departments, should all work together, having at heart the necessities, the rights, and the interests of all, every obstacle to growth, success. - and reasonably prompt return to prosperity would soon be overcome; but there is the rub. True patriotism, real statesmanship and unselfish regard for others will be needed as never before. (3.) I believe, by skilful management, we can continue to be a creditor nation after the war. The present action of our bankers and capitalists should be based on our expectations as to the necessities of the business of this country. I think there Is danger of over-extension and of too large credits. I do not care to be more specific. 4.) In my opinion large gold imports or the immense amounts of gold
