GRAY IS UNPOPULAR

Opposition to Wilson Wedding Gift Belittles District Assert Leaders. A mass meeting of Wayne township Democrats will be held this evening at the city hall for the purpose of elecin gdelegates to the district convention, which will be held at Connersville, December 29, for the purpose of electing a district chairman to succeed Charles Beck, of Richmond, resigned. Meetings also will be held tonight by Democrats in the other townships of the county for the same purpose. It is said that an effort will be made to secure a Wayne county delegation to the Connersville meeting which will be hostile to any plan to elect a Tagtart man as district chairman. Will Fight Gray. It was generally reported today in Democratic circles that Congressman Finly Gray is not favored by the state organization at the present time any more that he has been by the anti-Taggart faction in the Sixth district the last several months, and that his congressional career is now drawing to a close, to terminate, in fact, at the clpse of his present term, a year hence. " Some of the Gray henchmen have been busily engaged the last few days spreading the report that the most popular candidate for district chairman, Walter Chambers, of Henry county, was supported by Gray, but Chambers' friends in this city are indignantly denying this rumor, and insist that Chambers is not entangled with any clique of taction of the party in the state or district. Excuses Sentiment. A Richmond Democrat, who is an Important factor in state Democratic politics and who has a keen insight into party affairs in the Sixth district, said today: "If anybody thinks that all the opponents of Finly Gray are opposed to Walter Chambers for district chairman he has another think coming. So far as I know, every Democrat who is opposed to the nomination of Gray is in favor of Chambers as chairman. The truth is that Chambers is not anybody's man, and that is the reason he will make a good chairman. "I understand Gray is trying to play both sides of the fence so far as the state organization is concerned. His selection for the Richmond postofflce probably pleased the organization, but that is about the only thing in his public career that has pleased it from the start. His course in congress has been erratic, and he always seemed to try harder to please the insurgent Republicans than the members of his own party. His attitude on the donation to the president's daughter was more that of a cheap demagogue than that of a well-balanced citizen. Criticize Stand. "If he did not want to contribute $5 to that purpose he could have declined and said nothing about it, thus saving embarrassment to his district If not to himself. "The truth is the district chairmanship ought not to have and does not have any connection with Finly Gray's race for congress next spring. Chambers will be fair to all aspirants for that honor, and that is all any candidate has any right to ask. "For any man to oppose Chambers on the theory that he is showing his opposition to Gray will be putting himself in a very false position, however sincere his motive may be in so doing. "In view of the above the live question is, is Finly Gray trying to doublecross the Wayne county Democrats on the district chairmanship like he was charged with doing in the matter of the Richmond postofflce?" SELLS FAITHFUL ANIMAL John Fireman Purchased Ey Harmon Shofer, of City, For $85. After answering calls for the last fourteen years, John Fireman, the faithful horse which has been retired from service, was sold by the board of public works today. Harmon Shofer paid the city $S5 for the horse which he will ship to Indianapofts. To satisfy all property owners in the neighborhood, the board voted to open the alley between South Third and Second streets from C to the alley South of B, and to vacate the first alley north of South C from South Scond to South Third. Benefits of $15 each were assessed on property owners affected by the order to vacate the alley. Gates will be constructed at each end of the passageway, which will be used as a private drive. Plans for cement sidewalks on North D street from Fort Wayne Avenue to Fourth street were presented by City Engineer Charles and approved by the board. The order was made to provide for cement sidewalks on parts of the street, where brick walks have not already been replaced with concrete. Mayor Zimmerman said he expected to call another session of council next Tuesday night to wind up the business of the administration. EGGS STILL SOAR TOWARD HEAVEN CHICAGO, Dee. 26 Prices of storage eggs continued their upward flight today when eggs in carload lots were offered for SO cents a dozen. "Storage eggs will go at 35 cents." declared James W. Wetz, the Chicago Egg King today, "and there won't be many eggs at that price." Sixty thousand dollars a day is the estimate of the loss due to the recent strike at Dublin, Ireland.

As the climax of a popular demonstration over Francisco dela Barro, Mexico's special envoy, resolutions were adopted tonight at a great mass meeting condemning the United States for "discriminating" against Mexico and demanding that Japan refuse to participate in the Panama-Pacific exposition. The demonstration followed a speech by the emporor in which he announced that friendlly relations existed with all the powers, but emphasized the strength of the Anglo-Japanese alliance. Members of parliament and other leaders of the anti-American protest, personally welcomed Senor Deia Barro. They presented him with a sword of honor, which he accepted briefly and then the envoy called for cheers for the emperor and his nation.

The sheriff has not decided when he will take Burts to Michigan City. His plea to be allowed to remain in the Wayne county jail for a few days until he and his attorneys settle his financial matters was granted. Burts is placing his entire business in the hands of an attorney to hold and operate for him while he is in prison. SHED BLOWS DOWN; 20 PERSONS HURT CLEVELAND.

"Just what is the right way to help these girls, or what is the wroug way. this department does not know," says the report. That there is little connection between the social evil and low wanes is stated in the report. "If low wages have any heavy or direct bearing upon the social evil, this department has jet to be convinced of it," says the report. "It has among its patients girls who are living on $3 and $4.50 a week, entirely supporting themselves. They have a hard time and are denied many things, among others a private doctor. They are virtuous girls, never the less. "The majority cf the immoral girls were of defective mentality, idle at heme, inefficient or untrained, or at work with unusually Rood wages."
