McCarty Up Against Wrong Man Notorious Bruiser Lands in St. Margaret's Hospital With Bullet in Leg. Dan McCarty. the burly pride of Kensington's rough element humped against the wrong man last night when he sought trouble with Fatrolman John KoMriala of West Hammond. Today Dan lies in a critical condition in St. Margaret's hospital with his thigh bone shattered by a revolver bullet.. Shortly after 11 o'clock last night as Officer Kosmaia was talking with friends, at the corner of State street and Douglas arcnue. West Hammond. McCarty in company with Ed ralmateer. former Hammond policeman, approached, coming from the Hammond side of the state line. McCarty asked Kosmaia for a cigaret and the policeman told him he had none. "Then gimme a match." commanded McCarty. but Kosmaia had no match. "You'd make a fine post fer a picture," exclaimed the Kensington bruiser, sticking his face up close to K ismala's. The c-p asked him to repeat the statement and McCarty very obligingly did so. Kosmaia came back by pushing him in the face and telling him to go along about his business. That started the fun. fists were flying Immediately and as the visitor had the advantage of size and reach, the policeman pulled his blackjack. McCarty deftly warded off' the blows and was overpowering Kosmaia when the latter drew his revolver. McCarty tried to take it away from him. Kosmaia finally twisted the gun

around until it pointed in McCarty's direction and rulled the trigger. The bullet entered the man's left leg about half way between the knee and hip. That took ail the fight out of him and he was rushed to St. Margaret'3 hospital. Examination shoxred the bone to be shattered and it is a question whether the leg can be saved. McCarty is a well known character in the Calumet region, being a brother of the notorious Tom McCarty. It is believed by police that he has been active in the slugging which has taken place recently in various cities in connection with the switchmen's strike. PaTmateer. companion of McCarty. was taken to the West Hammond police station following the fight, but as he had said nothing offensive and had not aided his friend in the scrap he was released by the rolice.

The Lake County Harding Caravan will leave for Marion en the evening if August I7th over the Erie from Hammond, will spend the followins day at Harding's home and leave on the return trip Saturday evening, arriving home Sunday morning. The date for the trip was set last night at a metlnj in Gary at th Harrison Club at which representatives trim all of the republican cl.jh of the county wers represented. Tnc decision to make the trip by train in stead of by automobiles as oric?ni'y planned was made when a, poll of thoe presnt at last night's meeting showd that a greater number could be Induced to go by train. Whereas the trip by automobiles would require probably five days the new arrangements w-ill require that those who make the trip miss only one business day. This "s expected to practically double thi number who would have motored. Two committees were appointed, one to make arrangements and the other to provide for transportation. All or those present were urge to get names of thosa who will positively make the trip and report at the next meeting which will be he'd at the Gary Harrison Club on A 'j gust 20th. twweeks from last nifiht and a week previous to the caravan date. If the number will warrant the transportation committee will then charter a special train, or if too small for th.it will make arrangements for special cars. The caravan movement which wai first proposed by the Twin-City McKinley Republican Club has now been adopted as a county movement by all of the republican clubs of the county and promises to be a great success. While it was first expected that thert would be more than a hundred automobiles in the caravan it is now being predicted that nearly a thousand republicans of Lake county will take advantage of this opportunity to visit the home of the next president.

GIRL'S DEATH? Investigation Made Into the Death of Girl in Kankakee River. rSPECIAL TO THE TIMES'! LOWELL IND.. Aug. T A committee from the Masonic lodge at Huntington. Ind.. was in Lowe!) yesterday investigating the dedath of Miss Elizabeth Hague, who wag drowned in the Kankakee river about two weeks ago. The remains of MisS Hague were brought to Lowell and were prepared for burial and shipped to Huntington for burial. The deceaseds father was a member of the Masonic lodge In that city and after the burial they discussed the matter and everything did not look right so they are investigating her death and if there has been foul piay they will act. The committee called on Mr. Sheets, the undertaker and they informed him that Miss Hague was one of tthe finest young ladies in Huntington and that she was well off financially and that after her death means for disposing ef her property were taken and this is one of the reasons that the investigation is being made. Another peculiar thing is that th-" deceased was to have been married in a short time and her intended huojnd was never notified T her death and knew nothing of it until after h-3 was buried. Miss Hague had a great dread of the wate- and she often told peoplethat when water touched her body it seemed to paralyze her and it t thought by some that some person knowing this might have pushed her in the- water and she was overcome by this fear of water, as the water in which she was drowned was only atiM.f wa:t deep and she could have easily waded to shore had she retained all her faculties, i It is to be hop 1 that if th"r was some foul play that it ,H be uneaithed.

It is thoupnt serious troub; w .11 b5 averted w h n the men have been assigned to patrols over the factory district. The causes of the trouble between Italiantf and negVoes are said to be an attempted attack on an Italian girl bytwo alleged men several days ago and the fact that a number of colored laborers were put in the factories as strike-breakers when a number of the Italians struck a short time ago.

SERVICE1 DAYTON. O.. Aug. 7 Declaring the league of -nations tne supreme issuo of tne century. Gov. James M. cox in his speech formally .accepting the democratic nomination for tne presidency, went squarely on record here today as favoring immediate raun- , cation of the peace treaty and asserted that America will deservedly bear "the contemn of the world' if she refuses . .tuAi.vsT rttii: rut. The governor denounced Senator Hardings plan for ending the existing; state of war as an attempt to make a separate peace with Germany wnicn, he said, would be the most disheartening event in civilization since tn Russians made their separate peace and infinitely more unworthy on our part than it was on the Russians." C.- K ACCEPT ITf "Suppose Germany, recognizing the first break in the allies, proposes some thing we cannot accept,- said Gov. Cox. Does Senator Harding intend to send an army to Germany to press ur terms. If. on the other hand. Germany should accept the chance we offered of breaking the bond it would be for th express purpose of insuring a uer. man-American alliance, recognizing; that the allies, in fact no nation or good standing, would have anything to do with either of us." PROHIBITION OT MENTIONED Not once in the whole course of tha Fpeech was prohibition specifically" mentioned, put in tnat part aeauag with law emorcement, tne governor said: "it wou! seem quite unnecessary for any candidate for the presidency to say that he does not intend to violate his oath of office. Anyone who is false to that oath is more unworthy than the law violator himself. Great emphisis was laid by th governor upon 'progressivism, as opposed to reaction." Other policies laid down by Gov. Cox were: "Compensation- ror soldiers; reduction of armament upon entrance to th league oT nations; relief from war tim taxation and suDstuution or a smau tax on all business for the excess profits tax; a federal budget system, with reduction of national expense to four billions annually, maximum; ceaseless war on profiteers; definite statement of the respective rights of workers ana employers in collective pargaining; ratification of the woman suffrage amendment; pitiless publicity of campaign expenditures; and a fair trial for private ownership of railroads with relief from congestion by development of tne Great Lakts-St. Lawrence navigation project. SAYS IT Mfc.A-AS UISHU.VUH Approximately one-third of the gv. ernorsi speech of nearly 12. ooo words was devoted to the league of nations. "The republican proposal means dishonor, world contusion and delay, he said, "rererrlng to Senator Harding's plan for a new relationship among nations. It would keep us in permanent company with Russia, turkey and Mexico. Picturing the league as a plan to make impossible a recurrence of such conflagrations as the world wr, the governor bluntly laid down the question of league or no league as the reaX issue of the campaign. FAVORS GOING IN "Senator Harding, as the republican candidate for the presidency, proposes in plain words that we remain out of It.
