Miraculous Escape of Two Other Members of Drinking Party EYE WTTNXSS TELLS HOW TATAL CRASH OCCUJLED "Haehnel, driving- the death car. passed ua about one halt block from the accident. He went by our machine on the -wrong side. He was going at a high rate of speed. I saw the gates lowered at the railroad crossing-. "When Haehnel passed us, I knew something was going to happen. It was a question or whether Haehnel or tbe train would reach the crossing first. I knew he wouldn't stop and although I blew my auto horn i.i vain- warning, the doomed car plunged on." That's what E. J. Ward. 4739 Northcote avenue. East Chicago, eye witness to the accident saw. "The machine plunged through the gate a half a second after the train had thundered onto the crossing-. It ran full tilt into the first coach. There was a terrific crash. When we ran up the train had stopped about two lengths away. The auto was 50 feet downi the track. Haehnel was lying across the dead man's body. In the rear seat of the wrecked machine we found Bobin sky." Ward is employed in the commissary department of the General American Company. He and Ed. Leonard, 42 S3 Forsyth ave., were returning to East Chicago. Each was driving his own car. They helped take the injured men to the hospital.

"Johnny" will be Lake County's next clerk. PLAN FOR IT Tuberculosis sanitariums as erectt at South Bend. Fort Wayne and Chicago were discussed last evening at the Lyndora Hotel in Hammond where a meeting has been called by the Hammond Manufacturers Association as the second stage of the effort which is being made to pare down the cost of the proposed tuberculosis sanitarium for Lake county. The county commissioners have been unable to obtain bids which come anywhere near the es-timates for the elaborate county institution which had 'been planned. Specifications which cast the county a neat sum are to be discarded or revamped. - Several weeks ago th Hammond Manufacturers' Association decided that the sanitarium was going to cost too much money A meeting was held at which county officers and members of the Lake County Tuberculosis Society were present. The manufactures stated their views and it was decided to see how other communities had built their sanitariums. A committee composed of Henry Poppenhusen and William Beattl of Hammond. Dr. Evans and Dr. Nesbit of Gary, Dr. Iddings of Lowell, the county commissioners and the county auditor was appointed to get the Information. They visited several institutions since then and last night the whole matter was discussed Informally. It was the consensus of opinion that the last set of plans for the sanitarium should be abandoned and that new ones should be prepared whlch'will be more in keeping with Lake county's purse. A sketch embodying the. ideas gathered by the committee Is being prepared and will 'be submitted for aooroval later.

DEMOCRATS JUBILANT OVER GREAT BEVERIDGE VICTORY

(BY GEORGE R. HOLMES) STAFF CORRESPONDENT I. N. SERVICE WASHINGTON. May 4. Recover ing somewhat from the acute shock administered in the Indiana primaries, political Washington set about today to ferret out the reasons underlying the smashing defeat suffered by the republican organization, both state and national at the hands of Albert J. Beveridge who. as a progressive for the last ten years, has been an open enemy of organized republicanism. The Beveridge victory over Sen. Harry S. New, an acknowledged administration spokesman, has Jarred the "regular" republican organization In Washington severely. Republican leaders in the senate and tn the administration generally had expected New to come home easily. and the suddenness or tne shock left them gasping. The democrats, of course, were exuberant today. To the democrats the Beveridge victory spells a "re-

Supporters of Samuel Ralston Convinced He Will Beat A. J. Beveridge

(INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.. May 4. Albert J. Beveridge, having won tha republican nomination for United i States Senator over Senator Harry j S. New by a majority of approxlj mately 20,000, Indiana republicans j and democrats alike, today rested j on their oars in anticipation of the strenuous pre-election activities. Ex-senator Beverldge next November will be opposed by former Governor Samuel H. Ralston, democratic Senatorial nominee, who defeated Beveridge for the Governorship in 1912 when the republican senatorial nominee waa carrying the progressive party standard in the state election. Both Beverldge tnd former governor Ralston were swept into tha nominations by majorities that surprised the electorate. Latest unofficial returns from 3,215 of Indiana's 3,284 precincts give Beveridge a lead of 18.960. The vote: Beverldge. 186.483; New, 167. -503. It likely will be several days before the official count is completed. Beverldge in a posl-prlmary statement declares factionalism and party feuds in the republican party in Indiana are "dead, buried and forgotten." and Senator New, In defeat asserts he has "no alibis." Now that it is all over the prediction is going about that if Beverldge is elected he will seek the republican nomination for president in 1924. but whether he wins or loses. Senator James EM Watson, who likewise is understood to have the presidential aspirations, bid! fair to gain the upper hand In Indian republican politics. E Dl GRILLS HEALTH DEPT. Gross Inefficiency and shamaful negligence In the Hammond health department are charged in a state-i ment by J. M. Hestenes. director of Brooks House, and "good father" to East Hammond, who substantiates his allegotion by citing the instances where residents . of the whole community have been, imperiled by open exposure to diphthelra and other communicate diseases with full knowledge of the health department which took no steps to curb the evil. EAST SIDERS AROUSED Ineffectual attempts to arouse the apathy of physicians outside and In the health department to responsibilities in the care of East Hammond residents equal with the at tention received by householders in more favored portions of the city have finally aroused the people of the east side to a point where they may demand Intervention of staM health authorities. This was tha threat- made by Hestenes and others who after prevailing on the health officials here without avail and apparenty having been given the cold shoulder by the city administration now hope to find remedy for a wellnigh unbearable aggravation by the intervention of state authori ties. CATS THE CtlMAI Following what Hestenes alleges Is a long series of flagrant inatten tions to the health problems of East Hammond by the board of health. came last week the case that cap ped the climax, the .straw that broke the camel's bick. ' It InvoKes a family housed In one of the barrack apartments along Columbia avenue; two chil dren of that family, one of whom died of diphtheria; Dr. A. Hofman. the attending physician. Dr. Wil liam A. Buchanan, secretary of the health board; Dr. Albion J. Miller, president of the board; John Doll, health inspector; J. M. Hestenes, observer and good shepherd; resi dents of East Hammond, etc., etc. SPECIFIC CHARGES What is specifically charged y the irate residents of the district Is that although the family of John Bindas at 176 Company House contained two virulent diphtheria cases no quarantine was placed on the dwweliing, that the health authorities preferred to remain os tensibly iblissftilly ignorant of the conditions: that Dr. Hofman should ihajve insisted on establishing a quarantine; that the undertaker and health officials permitter a puolic funeral to be held for one of tht: diphtheria victims, and that al though the health board knew the house had contained cases of com municable disease. no effort was made to fumigate the dwelling after the funeral and no attention ContInued on page Ave.) EASY VICTORY IN D1STR CT Congressman Will R. Wood had an easy victory in the district. In Tippecanoe county alone he got .a 4,000 majority.
