avenue. Gary, has not been completed, failed to show up. Drastic measures will be resorted to. it is said, if the company does not meet its obligations. West Fifth avenue, one of Gary's main traffic arteries, has been torn up for over a year. Only one side of the street has been paved. Contracts for tar road dressing were let to the Rarrett Construction Co., of Chicago and the Independent Oil Co., of LaPorte. The commissioners today will make a tour of inspection through the county poor farm. ,

JOHN C. AGNEW. 12 Webb street, was accus tomed to pass through a a. cant lot on his way home, according to a friend. Every day he'd meet a vicious dog in the lot who wouldn't allow him to pass unless Agnew produced a lump of sugar as toll. Finally it became too expensive and Agnew forced the owner to lock up the dog. "It was just as profitable for the owner to tie up the cleg."' says Agnew, "for the canine ate the sugar instead cf bringing it home."

FALLS FROM A CAR

""r.g crt injured

a street streets.

John Smith, a, Bohemian, hp Harrison street, was painfuily

iast right when he fell from car at Conkey and Hurisnn

it is a.ieged he attempted to :ret off the car before it stopped. He was taken to St. Margaret's hrspital -where Dr. Ch.dlaw dressed his cuts about tho hands and chert.

j ated r.

.asserted National Committeeman Tom jr.. Love, of riallas, Tex., just before the second se-ssiein of the great caucus got under way. J The forecast came as a seejuel to a j series of conferences informally c a 1 1 -j ed for the purpose of ascertaining the I strength of the McAdoo movement. I McAdoo. it was said, no longer responds to letters, telegrams or t"iej phone calls. His friends here say they think he is in New York, but wherever he is he cannot be readied ty them or anybody else.

LITTLE COMFORT FOR THEM For that moment the Palmeritesj Coxietrs. Iiavtsites. Marshailites and all sorts of other smaller ites are pininf. but may be there will not b much comfort for them then becausi Mr McAdoo's name may not be formally given to the convention at al'

ballot, j except as it may rise from the hps ol

delegates who will announce votrs foj him. If this plan is adopted the McAdoo managers will seek to move th enterprise along very slowly, permit" ting the avowed candidates to hav) their respective dings in the early balloting and depending upon McAdoo t "wax stronger" as the game progressei with consequent possible band wago consequences . MAY SPOIL PLANS Slme impulsive adherent may sp-i! this arrangement by blurting right out (Coni.ir.ued on pigeTthree.)
