S-) CHICAGO, IIL. Dec, 3. Revealing th secrets of a tortured soul, long pursued and finaly trapped by the "colonel," who ehe alternately terras "the demon," and "the living devil," the diary of Mrs. Clara Smith Ilarnon, alleged slayer of Jake L. Hammon, multi-millionaire politician and oil magnate, became public here today. The diary was found in the trunks belonging to Mrs. JIamcn which were shipped here from Ardrr.ore, Okia., after the shooting of Haraon. CALLS HIM DEMON "In the form of a man there was a demon (often referred to as the "Colonel") who tried to x x x x terrorize me." says the dairy, "and althought my life hung by a slender thread x x x x I did not show the slightest weaknes and x x x x should I be found stabbed or choked or beaten to death I want the world to know I made a clean fight for my rights and that I have never been a coward or a sneak or guilty of unfair play. WOULD .OT LET HEIl Q.I IT. "Some years ago I tried to quit before all my dreams of life's golden treasure were shattered but he would not let me. "I swear here before the all-knowing God thai I would never have become his sweetheart if he had not told again and again that he was going to get his divorce anyway and promised faithfully to marry me. He held out every possible alluring picture for a wonderful future until he had me in a net which I could not extricate myself. "The oil of his soul that fed the flame of desire for cruelty must exhaust itself and I was doomed to be the victim. SATS ire desthoved innocence, "I can hear the public say 'Those who-brutally murder are worse' but 1 don't believe God thinks so for he would have murdered ma physically besides murdering my soul if he could have covered it up and shielded himself, but he has been too cowardly to do It with a fair chj.nce to us both. "Murder has no place in his insanty taking life !s abhorrent to him, but to destroy innocence to kill virtue to murder a soul those are common to him and his type." SENSED THE TRAGEDY". Apparently sensing the tragedy that was to come later the wv.an wrote In her diary under date of May 12: "Let my poor, said, broken heart, crushed liopts and blighted life, be a warnig. Know your man before you give him your soul, and whn I say know him I mean not only the good and sunny side the Fugar-coated side, the pretentious, f.aiterina-, false fid'?, but know the side that is not at his best. Know tiie side the world fail even to pee. Know the side that comes to life only in the presence of the "Four wails and you.' . HREAKIN(; THE CHARM. "Know him at his worst, not his best, before you ?-l! your soul and become ever afterward his slave. For ence you give it to him you can never get It back again no matter howhard you try.

Harris not

OUT OF RACE Gary Man Still Formidable Candidate for Speaker of Indiana House I INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE IM'I.VXAl'OUS, Ind.. Dec. 3. J. Glenn Harris of Gary and Jacob Mil-tenh-Ttrer of Muneie, met at the Mat? linuft yesterday. Both are candidates for the speakership of the house jf represt ntat i Vf s in the coming session of the Indiana Assembly. , The report that Mr. Harris Is out 3t the race was not borne out by tho meeting of the men. Each of them indicated th:it he regarded the other as a formidable contender for the place. The fact that Marion county representatives have centered on Representative Given as the Indianapolis candidate for the post of honor in tri-J house Is regarded as opening up a newavenue for Mr. Harris to win. It is well known that there Is a close feeling between the representatives from Marion and Lake counties. In the past they have been progressive and have pulled together to obtain measures for the two great populous centers of the state. It Is therefore regarded as not at all unlikely that Marlon county's ten representatives will get behind Mr. Harris In the race In event It Is shown that Given dojs not have a chance. N in it AGAINST FAKE TAX COLLECTORS Missing since Wednesday evening, Joe Krchelich. who lives at Moss and Howard avenues. East Hammond, was located today in Chicago where he is being held at the county Jail on a larceny charge. Mystery surrcftinda the tntira affair, but froTn information in the hands of Hammond police it is believed that Joe is another victim of the fake tax collectors, who were working in East Hammond this week. It has been learned that the sharpers, threa of them, visited eaveral homes in addition to swindling Sam Spetable of $84.20 as relates in Tho Times yesterday. The men tried to collect $80 from Mary Sllzah, 7l Ames avenue, Wednesday afternoon, but as the said she had no money at home, they promised to return yesterday morning. They did not come back. Mr. Krchelich recently purchased new Hudson automobile. A few days ago a man. supposed to have been one of the fake collectors, hired him to drive him to Indiana Harbor. Wednesday evening the same man asked him to take him and two others to Chicago. He agreed and they departed at 6 o'clock in the evening. Krchelich had told his wife he would be back at about 11 o'clock. The next morning he was still missing and Mrs. Krchelich reported the matter to the Hammond police. Efforts were made through the Chicago Detective bureau to locate the man, but no trace could be found all day. Late last night Mrs. Krchelich received a telephone call from Chicago, purporting to be from the East Chicago avenue polled station, stating that her husband was being held there and that she should bring all of the papers showing her husband's ownership of the Hudson car. She once more informed the Hammond police who were unable to get confirmation of any such call from the Chicago police station. Officers visited the station last night and also inquired of the detective bureau once more, but found that nothing had been learned regarding Krchelich. The fear was growing that the sharpers had made away with the Hammond man and stolen his car. This forenoon a message came stating that Krchelich was being held at the Jail on the larceny charge and that his automobile is involved. Friends of the man are at a loss to understand the affair except that he has been made the victim of a frameup on the part of the fake tax collectors, who had hoped to scare him into parting with his machine and failing had tt umped up the charge so that he might be held while they were making a getaway. Mrs. Krchelich, accompanied by Hammond officers, are in Chicago this afternoon trying to straighten out the difficulty. City TVeafurer Bielefeld and Chief of Police Austgen once more warn Hammond people to have nothing to do with people claiming to be tax collectors unless they are armed with proper credentials. Any collectors working for the city will carry a certificate signed by the treasurer and chief of police. RECEIVES A BAO FRIGHT Mrs. I?enjamin Ritter, 163 Henry St., Hammond, is today suffering from the fright which she received last night when sho was returning home. She ias walking along Huchn St., near Henry St., at about 10 o'clock when a man suddenly stopped from the shadows at tho side of the walk and confronied lior. Ho hell his arms out so that she could not pass and when she tried to evade him he made a grab for her. The woman ran and managed to escape althouRh the fellow followed her a s:iort distance. The matter was at once reported to the police, but no trace of the man could be found.

D., to Minneapolis, on the Hastings & Dakota division, and after binding with wire and gagging the three mail clerks, escaped with a pouch of registered mail and other packages, estimated to contain currency and papers worth between $500,000 and $1,000.000. The bandits climbed aboard the tank of the engine at Hopkins, Minn., forced an entrance to the mall car. while the train was speeding towards Minneapolis, and left the train within the city limits of this city. One of the mail clerks, who had worked partially free of his bonds saw the three men leave the train to Join a fourth confederate who waa waiting in an automobile. Police and federal officials are baffled by the case, and it is believed that the bandits will not attempt to leave the twin cities, but wilt remain In hiding here. In the express car next to the mail car, was a pouch containing $500,000 in currency. The bandits did not make an attempt to enter the express car and the express messenger and guard did not know of the robbery of the mall car until the train had reached the Milwaukee derot here.

CITY G5 EMPLOYED. "While th country today la suffering from inertia which la possibly a normal result of war and great prosperity, conservative and thinking- men do not believ that Hammond will suffer markedly this winter. Most of Hammond's Industrial enterprises at least its largest with the exception of the F. S. Beta plant which Is closed down for readjustment and repairs are working at or within reach of capacity and will continue to do so in all probability as long as their markets hold up and the slump in the price of farm staples, a slump that hits the wealthy and the worker alike, doesn't grow worse. A representative of The Times today found in interviewing factory men that the city's Industries average 65 of capacity which is regarded by experts as an excellent average and some significant information was gleaned. WHAT PLANT HEADS SAY. At tha American Steel Foundries the plant IS' being run at capacity 700 to 800 men and Supt. G. H. Austin says "Still going- along close to top speed." The American Maize Products Co. refuses to make any report. The Beatty Machine Co. is operating 50 with the prospects about the same accordingto Mr. Blair. The Betx plant is down with prospects still doubtful. The Central Railway Signal employing 200 men is working 100 and doing a rushing business, their dull season comes in summer. The O. K. champion Co. Is working 40, foundry and agricultural business slow, auto parts good. At the "tV. B. Conkey plant 85 capacity employing from 600 to 800 with good work In contracts ahead. The Federal Cement Tile Co. running 100. 300 men, outlook not as promising as usual but outlook for spring is good. PICKING IT AT WANNER. The Enterprise Bed Co. operating 27.

Co., 100 capacity and employing 600 men with business steady. At the Keith Ry. Equipment Co. 80 are working, business rushing right now and waiting for material, will increase after January ffrst. The Mcllroy Belting & Hose Co. repcrt 15 with little work now but good prospects for spring. N't wak Mill tig Co. 50 capacity picking up a little and expect better with o?!d wather. The Paige & Jones Che-nlcal Co., one of the smaller plants report labor and trade nearly normal The Slfo Products Co. are running a little below capacity with good spring prospects. The Standard Steel Car Co. running about 65 .employing about 3,000. business Is not good, railroads are not buying and orders runnig low; tha forge is going 50, business not good. "No indicaitons. Just hopeful," said Mr. Thompson. At the Straube Piano plant all the men are working but business off 75; up to the present very good but easing up a little now, optimistic as to future. The Taylor Chain Co. operating 75, after January first look for better business. The United Boiler & Foundry Co. working 50, not much change expected for three months. The Warner Implement Co. is Installing machinery and has some big orders, expects to be going strong within next few weeks. HOPES FOR SPRING. Manufacturers and business men alike are hopeful and believe that the coming spring is one of great industrial promise. When the present administration Is house-cleaned the country will have a leader and a pilot who will destroy the inertia which Infects the country and who will stimulate It to activity and force it into action and inspire it with his own understanding and example.

Republican Legislators Enter a Gentlemen's Agreement To Stay Out

BY GKOKUK K. 1IOLMKS STAFF CORRESPOND! NT I. N. SERVICEI WASHINGTON. Dec. 3. Out "f a series of conferences which Harry M. Dougherty .political mentor to President-elect Harding ha had wuh republican leaders in Washington, it d'lop. d today that a number of republican senators have entered Into what prac t ically . ai(l"U n t a to a ' gentlemen's aKreeiitPiit" not lo enl-r the Harding cat inet after March 4. UMV SKIK HAI TAKF.N This move has been taken not b-.-caue cabinet portfolios were unattractive, but because nearly all thi pcwerful and influential repuoluun members of the senate have at oio'? Line or other been reported as leaving the hill f..r the other end of IVnnayivtnia avenue. This was particular! banning to Senator Henry Cabot lxdge. the G. O. P. leader in the senate, and he, according to report, gathered about him some of the mos: prominently mentioned and pointed out that the senate should receive their primary consideration. WANT NKW IV 3KNATK. Senator Lodge's public statement expressing the "hope" that Senator Harry S. New. of Indiana, would Continue in Lhe senate, was the direct result of these conferences. Senator New Is not onlf one of Senator Harding's closest friends and one ot the few "original Harding men." It bad been conceded that Senator New could have anf cabinet poat be desired. His came had been mentioned prominently in connectlo with the war departmet and postmasters' posts. LODGE TO STAY OUT. Senator Lodge's action has definitely set at rest all rumors that he himself is a cabinet possibility. Along with Elihu Root and Senator Philander G. Knox, of Pennsylvania, Lodge had been prominently mentioned as a possible secretary of state: As a result of these conferences, there remained today only one republican senator who could be"eonsiderei of more than passing prominence for cabinet honors. This is Knox, of Pennsylvania. Whether he will join his senatorial colleagues in voluntarily eliminating himself from consideration remains to be seen. Harry M. Dougherty, has a conference scheduled with the Pennsylvania acenator today. ItlSPRLSi: "OLIGARCHY" CRIESThe voluntary elimination of a number of senators has another advantage as republican leaders view it. They believe that it will ecectually set at rest the charges hurled all over tho country during the campaign of a "senatorial oligarchy" running the executive as well as the legislative branches of the government In case Harding was elected. Of all the names of cabinet possibilities that have been mentioned since Nov. 2. there are only two which are considered in Washington virtually certain of appointment. These are ex-Senator George W. Sutherland, of Utah and ex-Senator John W. Week, of Massuchetts. Only the posts to which they will be appointed remain In doubt, according to Harding'3 friends here. WATSON IN PHILADRI.PHIA. Senator James E. Watson, of Indiana, went to Philadelphia to roaur with Senator Penrose, ostensibly otf flnancal legislation. Dougherty will leave Washington tonight for Norfolk where he will meet Senator Harding on his arrival from Panama. Edward B. Mclean and Senator Davis E!kins. of West Virginia, also will go to the port to welcome the Harding party. L. HERE NEXT It was with considerable disappointment that the large audience convened at the Presbyterian church about 39 days ago to hear Mr. Lyell M. Rader give his address on the subject "Garbage"' did not do so. In making the arrangements for him to give this talk, an unfortunate misunderstanding in regard to the exact date prevented his being here at the time the audience was waiting for h'm. To compensate for this unfortunate affair, tha committee of the men's club of the Presbyterian church have again succeeded in making a date with Mr. Rader to speak to us on December 6, IS'0, at 7:30 p. m. at the Presbyterian church in Hammond. Mr. Rader has a reputation for making a speech that is eminenty! Interesting and is a practical commercial chemist. has made Investigations which give him considerable data which helps to make the subject "Garbfcge" convincingly interesting. While this subject would appear to be a rather peculiar one for a mixed audierce. his application and his knowledge of the subject has been reported by those that have heard him to be of great value. The Men's club of the Presbyterian church certainly desire that a large audience appear to hear his talk as they feel that it will be well worth their while. Hammond should .give to Mr. Rader an audience that would Justify the spending of his time on Sunday to entertain those that will be present. Mr. Rader is a brother of Paul Rader of the Moody church In Chicago, as well as of the Moody camp at Cedar lake. Paul Rader has a large acquaintance in this vicinity and hit brother is a similar type of man. Sunday 7:30 p. rtu Dec S, JLS10. JCveryvody welcome.
