Delay in Location of Industry Causes Big Loss to State Further action taken by the Exst Chicago Chamber of Commerce at their noonday luncheon meeting yesterday when they unanLrnously pnj.Mil a resolution urging upon State Auditor Wm. Oliver to offer for auction at one; the swamp lands now hell under controversy scd -aise the blockade for the disposal of this tract of lands to the Jones and Laaghlla Steel Co., which is the proposed sits for their $50.000,000 steel plant In the East Chicago-Hammond district. Attorney Willis K Hoe. member of the chamber of commerce committer on the question of the Jones and Laughlln Steel Co. real estate transaction. Mr. Roe added that on Oct. 21 thig committee, headed by Judge M. E. Crites, waited upon GoTornor McCray while the state executive was in Crown Point when their tommtttee was given assurance by the governor that he would do everything in his power to get immediate action in this proposition. It is the endeavor of the East Chicago Chamber of Commerce, as weii as other civic organizations 1n the Calumet region, to move ahead this ' transaction and make certain the locating of the Jones and LaughHn steel plant In this district. The unreasonable length of time delayed by State Auditor Oliver to offer for auction the land under dispute and his continual ignoring this rai estate transaction, which is so Vital to the Industrial life of East Chicago and Kamioond. has aroused th business, industrial and civic interests here to petition state officials for early action. The reso'.Jtlon adopted by the East Chcag-3 Chamber of Commerce reads: WHEREAS. The ' Jojiti-LeughUn Steel Company has obtained an option on a site in North Township on which they contemplate building a large Industry to cost approximately $50,000,000. and whereas other smaller 'ndustriea which are to use the products ' of said JonesLaughUn Steel Company are In the course of construction and will sustain a heavy loss unless said site is secured; and, WHEREAS, There has arisen a controversy over the title of a part of the real estate included in said site in this, that the state claims some interest therein as against the alleged owner of the fee, and whereas under the swamp land act the mate Auditor Is authorised to soil same at public auction; and. WHEREAS, The Slate Auditor baa recently indicated that he Is willing to proceed under said act to sell same, which action la agreeable to all parties concerned; and, WHEREAS, Delay in this sale is likely to cause great loss to the other industries preparing to use the products of the Jones-Laughlln Steel Company, also there will be a loss to the State. County and cities concerned in taxes which would be collected thereon, also the loss to business and labor which would naturally follow such improvement, also the possible loss of the Industry itself as the result of delay in the sal of such swamp lands; NOW, THEREFORE. Be it resolved by the Chamber of Commerce of East Chicago, Indiana, duly assembled in Public Session that it is the sense of this meeting that such swamp lands should be sold at public auction at the earliest possible date, and that action should be taken by the State Auditor at once to that end; so that all interested may take such action as they deem best toward the development of their va-ious plants and interests. Providod further, that th Secretary be requested to mail a copy of this resolution to the State Auditor. CARS IH COLLISION AT CROWN POINT SPECIAL TO THE TIMES CROWN POINT, Ind., Nov. J. C. W.

SAM RALSTON TALKS TO DEMOCRAT LEADERS "People are praying forgiveness for what they did two years ago and there will be a great remission of sin on election "ay, November 7." said Ex-Governor Samuel Ralston this morning, speaking to a meeting at democratic headquarters in Hammond. About a hundred democratic leaders were present, Mr. Ralston urged the democrats to support their county ticket, saying: "I hope when the ballots are counted It will show a wonderful gain for the cause." The ex-governor and opponent of Albert J. Beverldge for United States senator, looks somewhat like William Howard Taft. Replying to Senator Beveridge's attack on the Adamson law he declared that the Esh-Cummlns bill and the supreme court had already knocked it out. He also spoke against the sales tax. Ex-Governor Ralston said that "those two distinguished statesmen Senator Beverldge and Senator Wat son had better get together. Senator Beverldge condemns a part of the Esch-Cummlns law and Senator Watson declares It is the greatest constructive legislation ever enacted." wise," declared Ralston. "There are several points on which Beverldge and Watson are crossHELD IN CLOTH THEFT Three things harpened over night n connection with the theft of Albert GIven's $4,000 stock of wool:ns, recovered b yHammond rolice officers early yesterday morning.

The cloth is be- ! .ieved to have been dumped from the Cadillac touring car said to have acted as a convoy for the loot laden truck seized by police. The men in the Cadillac are believed to have fled into Chicago. Police booked John Blazer and Robert Bennett, nabbed in the truck caught enroute from Gary to Chicago with the stolen goods, on charges of receiving stolen property. Conviction carries the same penalty a8 that of burglary. Gary and Hammond police today were pursuing their quest for the alleged robber ring and "fences" located in Gary and Chicago.

Repiiilican. INDIANA Esther Kathleen is Gary Dry Agent Is In Hammond and Is Not . Sought by Bondsmen. Attorney Philip Ukman of Gary, held under bonds of $2,000 to the criminal court on an Indictment charging forgery, was said to be missing In a report which came from Gary yesterday. According to the story, Gary authorities had searched high and low for Ukman and had decided he had slipped away. Well, Philip Isn't missing. He hasn't been missing. He is living quietly in Hammond with his wife. His main occupation right now is getting rid of the skin eruptions which covered his body when ho was released from Jail. He's getting along ptetty well, but this morning his afflictions took a new turn. His face was badly swollen. Doctors who examined him following hlB release under bond wero unable to diagnose his case. One Tihysiclan stated that the skin eruptions and the scaling which followed looked like he might have patised through an attack of scarlet fever. At the same time he admitted that a similar condition is caused by arsenic poisoning. Ukman says that the trouble started after he ate some food at the Gary police station. He refuses to talk much about his Jail experiences. He realizes that he talked too much In the first place. If he had kept quiet it would never have been known that he had fu-nished tips for the federal men In making their Gary clean-up. It was not intended to bring him into the case anyway. But now that he has been rung Into it he will have quite a story to relate to Judge Anderson. Ukman has written up the whole story in a lengthy statement covering many typewritten pages. Lorenzo Flummer, special agent of the Department of Justice, came to Hammond and Gary from Chicago yesterday to look into the case. He was instructed to make an investigation by Attorney General Daughorty. 1 The federal grand Jury convenes next week, but it is believed that the Gary conspiracy case will not be reached until about December 1. i BEVERIOEE Hiram W. Johnson, of California, who rolled up a majority of 10.000 votes in Lake county in the 1920 presidential primary, today called upon his friends to work for the election of Albert J. Beverldge.

The telegrm follows: Thomas Roberts, Chairman Lake County Republican Central Committee: Gary, Ind. My Dear Roberts I regard Albert J. Beveridge 13 one of the big men of the nation who as senator can be of incalcuable service to our country. His ability is second to none; his talents of the highest; his vision wide and his statesmanship unquestioned. I do not. cf course, know anything of your locsl issues, but I do know where Beveridge has ever stood the overshadowing l?ue of preserving untouched our independence and maintaining unfettered our freedom of action. He has been in the fore-front of those Americans who have believed first In

His death was discovered when a porter went to call him this morning. The private car had been shifted to a switch in the Broad street terminus of the Pennsylvania railroad.

WITHDRAWS

He Arrives in Lake County "The democrats can't run thla country; It's all we can do." With this characteristic, bon mot, genial Jim Watscn. United Statei Senator and one c f the most forceful platform speakers in the Republican ranks, began his two day tour of Lake coi.nty. Senator Watson was in good voice and excellent humor. He said that reports from al? farts of the state Indicated the election of A"bert J. Beveridge, Will R. Wood and th other randidates of the Republican ticket by a sweeping majority. Hi declared that President Harding and the Republican administration are stronger in the esteem of the American people than at any time stnc the inauguration by reason of th Fordney tariff and the return ol prosperity. UXEA SIXES S PASSED The uneasiness and dissatisfaction occasioned by the rail and coal strikes, have passed, declared Senator Watson, and the wisdom of President Harding's policy In handling these matters is now impressed upon the minds of the people. "President Harding did all thai could be done to settle the coal and rail strike," a member of Watjon'i party said at the depot. "He dli everything that he could do wlthoji exceeding his authority and using the big stick. The outcome was more satisfactory than If the president had undertaken to bluff l club the strikers and the operator! Into submission. Settlements ol that kind are not permanent. The leave soreness that merely developi Into another strike. As It Is th men and the operators have com to an understanding that promise to be far more lasting than any previous so-called "settlements' of theli difficulties. "President Harding !s a constitutional president.' He has returned to the constitution of the United States. Ho has not exceeded his authority while at the same time h has abolished the bureaucracy that was built up under the Wilson regime." 6enator Watson said that Alberl J. Beverldge was unmistakably th choice of the people of Indiana foi the United States senate to vuoceed Senator New,

"This Is a year of straight ticket voting in Indiana," said Senato Watson. "And the straight ticket for the majority of the people will be the Republican. PROSPERITY THE ISSTTfi The senator indicate! that then was one big Isoue In the campaign and that Prosperity. "Prosperity has returned," he declared. "I am happy to see the mills of this great industrial region operating at eapaolty again and to see the welcome signs, "Men Wanted.' I am happy to see that the farmers are more cheerful and that they are beginning to enjoy the prosperity again. "The Fordney Reipublic&Ji tariff means everything to the farmer and the working man of America. It li their protection against the cheap lalbor of Europe, South America and Asia." When President Harding tooit office, it was pointed out. Imported steel rails were being laid en railroads in Lake county while the steel mills at Gary and Indiana Harber were practically closed down. In order to compete at all with steel from Canada, Japan and Englani, the mills of thi region were forced to cut wages In two and It was net tintil the Republican protective tariff was passed that they were able to restore the wages to a decent level. "Republican administration means prosperity and democratlo administation means free trade, extravagance, radicalism and every other Ism' that happens to come along," It was declared. Senator Watson's visit to Lake county completes the galaxy of republican platform talent of the campaign. There are no abler speakers In the United States than Beveridge and Watson. Whereas Beveridge wag scholarly, logical, courageous and admirable In his speeches last week, Watson Is forceful, convincing and dynamic. Each is a great orator. But with all this praise of Beverldge and Watson let us not forget Col. Roscoe Simons, the colored orator, fimmons Is in a class of his own. He Is an entertainer as great as Bert Williams and an orator as worthy as T4rooker T. Washington, rolled Into one. Simmons does not deal In logic so rau:h as he does tt words. He is a word painter. He speaks only to the members of his own race and they worrbip him. REPFBUCAK VICTORY When the spellbinders hare finished and thg day of election arrives next Tuesday there will be roll ed up in Lake county a republican majority that will make history. The Democrats are not even predicting victory inLake county. They admit that their ticket is weak and the effort to put It over is half hearted. Their meetings have been poorly attended . It is a republican year and that's all there Is to that. The republican tlcke-t will be elected from stem to Ftem and top to ibottom. Tom Roberts, republican county chairman, urges every Republican to work, however. "Over-coafldence Is not warranted," he saH today. "We mutt work, and work torr?ther to be successful. Every republican irv.ir-t vote. It Is his duty as a c'tizn end as a p?rty mn Vot the rtra'gbt Rep'ibllran tl-ke- nrd continued prosperity Vet? for protection for American lebor and the American farmer: for good wajes and good times." In Beveridge, Indiana has a man who commands the respect of the leaders of all nations.
