STING OF DEFEAT . CAUSES BLOOD SHED AT GARY ELECTION William C. Crolius Named for Mayor After Riotous Day in Great Steel CitySheriff Arrests Thirty. POLICE REFUSE TO STOP FIGHT AT THE POLLS Thomas E.

But few more than 1.600 votes were cast, and unofficial returns last night indicated that he would have a majority of more than 1,100. It was said to have been the sting of impending defeat that caused the Knotts followers to start the riots. Try to Steal Ballot Box. vAt the Sixth precinct the trouble started when Jack. Cox, Charles Metz and Mike Yonkovich. Knotts supporters, were charged with trying to carry off the ballot box. They got to the street with it. but were overpowered by Crolius men and the box was tak en to the democratic headquarters. A riot call was sent in to the police. When they arrived instead of at tempting to quell the disturbance, they joined in the fight. They were under the orders of Knotts, it is said, and after attacking a number of the Crolius men they arrested George Nestorovich, who was attempting to prevent the theft of the ballot box. At the Second precinct Knotts men surrounded the - polling place and attempted to keep Crolius men from voting.

Knotts declared last night that he would be an independent . candidate for mayor at the election, which will be held November 2 and will be the first municipal election since Gary was Incorporated as a city.

TONIGHT WILL DECIDE THE ACTION OF IMPORTANT SHIPPING INTERESTS TOWARD THE INCREASE. Washington, Oct 19. A meeting of important shipping interests of the country is to be held in Cincinnati tonight to consider the prospective action of the railways in increasing freight rates east of the Mississippi river. No determination has been reached to increase the rates, but the question is under advisement and the advance will be made If the conditions in the judgment of railway officials, justify it. Apprehending that such an advance is likely, many organizations of shippers throughout the middle Western country have joined in a call for the meeting at Cincinnati. They have prepared a letter, which was addressed to W. C Brown, president of the New York Central lines, Oscar G. Murray, president of the Baltimore & Ohio, and James McCrea, president of the Pennsylvania Railroad, setting forth the reasons, as they view them, for not making an advance in the freight rates. Railroad Figures Quoted. In this letter, the shippers maintain on a basis of figures furnished by the railroad's themselves under oath, to the Interstate Commerce Commission: That the net income for each mile of road of the railroads in the United States for 1907 exceeded that for 1807 by $ 1.534, an increase of 345 per cent That the net income of all the railroads in the United States for 1907 was $449,461,188 and for 1897, $815706 an increase of 453 per cent That the surplus from operations of all the railroads in the United States for 1907, exceeded the net income for 1897 by ?GO.0G5,785, and . that the amount of railroad stock paying dividends increased from $1,603,549,978 in 1S97, to $4.948.7CG.202 in 1907, an increase of $345.206,225. The rate of dividend on stock increased from 5.43 per cent in 1897 to 6.23 per cent In 1907, an. increase of 14.7 per cent DENIES ADVANCE. Pres. McCrea of Pennsylvania Railroad Sends Letter to Shippers. Philadelphia. Pa.. Oct 19. President McCrea of the Pennsylvania Railroad company, in a letter to commercial bod ies and firms in Cincinnati. Dayton. In dianapolis and other points east of the Mississippi river denies that the "question of general advance in freight rates or in classification is under con sideration or contemplated." He savs further that C. C. McCain, who issued the pamphlet upon which the letters of Presidents Brown, Murray and McCrea were based, "does not speak for the carriers, bat solely for himself.'

MUSICAL FESTIVAL FOR NEXT SPRING

Commercial Club Decided at Special Meeting to Give Financial Support. SUCCESS IS NOW ASSURED UNDER THE CAPABLE LEADER. SHIP OF PROF. EARHART AN EXCELLENT ORCHESTRA AND CHORUS WILL BE ORGANIZED. It was decided at the special meeting of the Commercial club last evening to hold a May Festival in Richmond next spring. The proposition will be financially supported by the Commercial club, it being unanimously decided last evening to pursue this course. Some time ago the proposition was submitted to the board of directors of the club, by the promoters of the festival, and it met with their approval, but no definite action could be taken until the matter had been put up to the members of the club for their approval also. Prof. Earhart, under whose management the festival will be given, was present at the meeting last evening, and talked heartily in favor of the movement His plan is to organize an orchestra purely of local talent with the high school orchestra as a nucleus. Prof. Earhart believes that an excellent orchestra can be organized in this city without any difficulty. Rehearsals will begin immediately and continue until the festival takes place. One rehearsal a week will be held at first Later the orchestra will practice to gether several times a week and under the capable leadership of Prof. Earheart will be rendering some excellent selections by spring. A large vocal chorus will also be organized by Pro'. Earhart. which will be fully up to the high standard of former years. Soloists a Feature. An effort will be made to secure soloists of the very highest class it is pos- j sible to obtain for the event Promoters of the festival are positive of the success of the affair. The unusual Interest that is being manifest in the event this early practically assures the great success of the enterprise. A music committee of seven members will be appointed by Secretary Haa. to look after the arrangements and assist Prof. Earhart and other promoter in the work. The outlook is particularly bright and the feslval next spring promises to eclipse anything of the kind ever given in this city. CRASHED TO GROUND (American News Service) Blackpool, Eng.. Oct 19.

HEARTS TOUCHED BY "GIPSY" SMITH Great Evangelist, Who Was Here in 1908, Leack 10,000 Disciples through Levee District. HYMNS ARE SUNG AS LONG PARADE WENDS ITS WAY Thousands of Sightseers At tracted to Scene, Many of Whom Were Moved to Par ticipate in the Parade. "Gypsy" Smith, the evangelist who lectured at the 1906 Chautauqua assem bly, was the leader in the most remark able religious demonstration last even ing that Chicago ever witnessed. A Chicago account says In part: "Arm In arm with a man whose rag ged clothes and reeking breath told his story, Gipsy Smith, the Romany evan gelist, last night led a parade of more than 10,000 christians through th heart of Chicago's South Side tender loin. It was the most remarkable religious demonstration ever witnessed in Chicago. In addition to the 10.00 In pa rade, 50.000 thronged the sidewalk and streets alone the line of march Thousands of curious persons hung on the edges of the parade as it wended its way north on State street blocking street car traffic for two hours. At the head of the procession the clear tenor voice of Gypsy Smith start ed hymn after hymn. The chorus of ministers directly behind, taking up the refrain, sent it on back, along the line until every marcher was singing, Strangely the hymns sounded through the streets so accustomed to songs of drunkenness and revel rv. strangely the words reverberated back and forth between the black walls of the buildings where rice and debauchery reigns. Resort Entrances Closed Throughout the district nrooer the front entrances to most of the resorts had been closed in compliance with instructions Issued yesterday by Chief of Police Steward. Windows were dark and blinds were drawn. Business in these places was at a standstill. Scarcely a man or woman could be found within doors. At the coming of the gipsy and his parade, heralded in advance, there had been a general outpouring of the Inmates and the streets were filled with women whose painted and powdered faces and gaudy finery made them conspicuous in the multitude. - Haultlng in front of Buxbaum's notorious cafe at "West Twenty-Second s (Continued on Psge Seren.)
