Prosecutor Lake and Porter counties, J.

A Guvlt. Representative Lake and Newton counties, C. M. Hannjer. James McGlrt.of Hobart was nominated for the senatorshlp for Lake and i Porter counties In the Democratic convention' that was held in the city hall this forenoon.

Attorney, J. A. "Gavit of this city was nominated for the prosecutor Both candidates were absent from the convention" at the time the nominations were made. After County Chairman Ed. Simon bad called the delegates to order and Secretary Nicholas Lauer had read the call.

Attorney LeGrand T. Meyer was called upon to act as chairman pro tern with M. H. Bullock of Hobart as secretary. district Chairman Risk of Lafayette who was present, addressed the meeting after the routine work had gone through.

In his extemporaneous talk he followed the lines the chairman-pro" dress. The (metropolitan police law is probably as odious to' the Republicans as to the Democrats by this time, was used to bait the Democrats in the convention and rouse them to answer to the call that is being made by the leaders. Nominations Unanimous. The nominations of Messrs. MeGIU and Gavit were made unanimous in every instance, though neither of the two names were the first to be proposed.

The name of Attorney J. G. Ibach was freely mentioned as the candidate for the senatorshlp this forenoon and was recommended by City Judge W. W. McMahon.

His motion was seconded by Peter Lyons. Mr. Ibach rose to thank the convention and to decline, "for various reasons." as he put It. Clemens J. Kerns of Hobart rose to indorse Mr.

MeGIU after the latter was nominated and did so in highest words of highest praise, not forgetting to take an incidental slam at Mr. Bowser, the Republican candidate. Though the Democrats that were present are unquestionable in their politics still the whole convention bore the stamp of being deserted and forsaken. Mayor Becker left last night on a business mission for New Albany, and will not return until tomorrow. Other leading Democrats too, who had served in executive capacities In former conventions and living here in Hammond were very conspicuous by their absence.

Attorney J. A. Gavit was on the streets when his nomination was made. The nomination for joint representative from Lake and Newton counties was made this afternoon at 2 o'clock. A.

J. Ellis of Morocco presided as chairman in the afternoon convention. In a short address he pointed out the need of Lake and Newton counties to work In harmony, as their Interests "in Irrigation at least are the same. NEW DEPUTY UNITED STATES COURT CLERK FOR HAMMOXD.

Showers and cooler tonight nnd Thursday. FI1ER1S PLAIN TALK i Mak and Markmu Scored for Abettlas; the? Tom Curse Brother Calls Attention to insincerity.

Vou, the people of Wet Hammond nxe lo blame for that dlrace to our village. Whisky Row. You have only yoftrselves to blame because your wire and daoBhtera are dally Insulted on the main street of this town. Von, the Voters of this villa, are alone -to blame for the fact that the sneaking; scoundrel, Markman, the village attorney vt ho is the power behind Mak has permitted these dives to exist. You are to blame for the fact that you now have men In oflSee who are tryinnr to compel me to pay them nearly S4.000 In I am clad to know that at last you have been aroused by the Intolerable conditions which have brought oar village Into disrepute, but a hundred mass meetings like this will be of no avail unless you are prepared to before your etty officials demand a change nnd buck up that demand by your vote on election day which Ss not far away." This is an extract from the speech of Martin Flnneran, the village clerk, and was the keynote of the mass meeting that -was held at Bllssmel'a hall In West Hammond last night.

The meeting was called by Herman Rohloff at the Instigation ol his friends and neighbors, who realised 1 at. village of its dumps and again make it a ptace where a respectable person could live vwlthout being Insulted by the habitues of the dives. Asked to Revoke licenses. Mr. Rohloff got up a petition in which the trustees of the village were asked to revoke the licenses of the dive keepers and take any otheY measure that may be necessary to rid the city of these places of 111 fame.

He readily secured over three hundred names On the petition and encouraged by the strong sentiment that he found against Markman. Mak and the dive-keepers, he determined to call a mass meeting at which some plan of action coxild be determined upon. Edward Schottler. an attorney, who lives In West Hammond on State Line street, was elected chairman of the meeting and Richard' Lahman was elected secretary. Mr.

Schottler briefly expained the object of the meeting and then introduced Herman Rohloffe as the first speaker. Mr. Rohloff made no attempt to make a set speech, being A man of action rather than words, but he told of the Insults to his wife and children and said that if the people would only act they could put the places out of business In a month. George Lawton spoke of the places as an eyesore. William Kerber spoke in German and his speech was warmly applauded.

Henry Kirehseeper said that a Ben Hur lodge had been started but that the women could not go to the meetings on account of the dives. James' Flnneran Injected a little fun into the meeting when he got up and said he "hated like 1 to see one of the speakers get up and talk about these places when you could see his wagon in front of one of the houses almost any time of the day." It was some time before the uproar that followed ceased and order was restored, but the speakers that followed Impressed upon their hearers the importance of considering the matter seriously. Children "Want to Know." Henry Martens told that recently when he was passing one of those places with his little boy, the child asked i' what those women were doing in there smoking cigarettes." He said that those little fellows hear the music and are curious to know more than they ought of those things. Adolph Small was followed by Martin Flnneran. Henry Wleklinskt.

one of the trustees of the said that he believed that at a cost of 50 cents to each man the town could be rid of its dives, but that he would be is to pay $10 to see the joints out here. A committee was appointed i present the petition to the trust- as soon as more signatures had bees, secured and Chairman Schottler appointed Mr. Rohloff Mr. Liszcynskl and Mr. Kerber.

The meeting will be productive of much good. Public sentiment is now so strong that nothing can stop the men who have this job of house cleaning in hand until the village of West Hammond is swept clean of every dive and the coterie of politicians who have looked upon their offices as merely an opportunity for graft are ousted. Thfre will be an election In a few mor months and it Is safe to say that 1 after it is over Markman and Mak will no longer be a factor in politics in West Hammond.

Washington 8Ut HAIKlEtl Oil TRIAL FOR MURDER Iwo Hammond Men Will Help Try Alleged Murderer of Lenning. MMCII u'lQ KM -SERVE Preliminary Evidence of a Technical Nature Is Heard Coroner's Verdict Read. 4 Special to Lake County Times.) Crown Toint, Sept.

12. It was only a few weeks ago that Jack Lenning was found near' the Wabash tracks in Tolleston lying on the grass by the roadside with two bullet holes in his body. The sheriff's office was notified and Deputy Sheriff Morris in company with a Hammond policeman and several constables started on their memorable chase through the woods and underbrush near Gary in search of the murderer. Later they found Thomas Hannen by means of his own dog and arrested htm in his own tent. These events are so fresh in the minds of the people of this community that it Is unnecessary to go Into fur ther details.

Today a Jury of twelve of Thomas Hannen's peers have been impaneled and the trial for his life has begun. The Jurors have been selected and among them are two Hammond men The personnel of the jury is as follows. August Bunde, William Randolph, Center; Herman E. Sasse, Crown Point: S. K.

Kenny, Orchard Grove; George Boyd. Merrillvllle; Gustav Muentch. Hammond; James Moran. WlnSeld; Emll Schrelber. North; John Bohllng.

St. Johns; William Bruce. Cedar Creek: John Kane, Hammond and Frank Wenner, Boss. The only evidence that has been introduced so far is the technical evidence such as the verdict of the coroner's jury which is used to show that Jack Lenning actually came to his end in a violent manner at the hands of some (technically) unknown person. After that the evidence will be introduced on both sides to prove that Thomas Hannen was or was not the murderer.

WORK OX NEW AIR LINE BEING PUSHED. Grading Begins Next Week Near Mlchl. mi City. With yards of blue prints spread be fore them at the Vreeland hotel, a party of Chicago, Lake Shore South Bend railway engineers, headed by John Blgel of Findlay. and H.

WEST HAMMOND TO INCORPORATE Village Across the Line Is Seeking to Get Away From Its Past. I fl Iff A I I 11 II I PITY Change of Xante one 'of the Tentative Propositions Aovr Being: Freely Discussed.

West Hammond is to become a city. That Is one of the projects that those who are trying to reform the village have in mind. The name may be changed and when the Ai vest ar-A all cleaned out the village will try to for get us past and become a model municipality. Those who are conducting the present crusade have learned by bitter experience that the present form of government Is not what It should be. In a small village where everybody knows everybody else it may be a good plan to elect trustees and let them conduct the public afflalrs; for in the small community If the trustees do not do as they are bid they are likely to be run out of town on a rail.

But in a village the size of West Mammond where the trustees are selected at large, it Is almost Impossible to make them accountable to their constituents. With a city form of government the territory within the city limits will he divided into wards and councllmen will be elected for each ward and then if the affairs of the city are not conducted as they should be the citisens of each ward can hold their representatives responsible. At any rate it is not believed that there could be the open defiance of rublic opinion that Is found in the village of West Hammond today. The law requires that five hundred of the legal voters of the village shall file a petition in rthe office of the clerk of the county, addressed to the judge of the county court. The petition shall define the boundaries of the-proposed city, state the number of inhabitants and the name of the city.

The petitioners shall ask that the matter be submitted to the voters for their decision at the next ensuing election or at a special election of which thirty days notice has been given. The judge will fix the time and place for the election and if there is a majority of the voters in favor of organizing the city under the general laws, the Inhabitants may deem the city incorporated. ELOPERS AGE RAPIDLY. New York, Sept. 11.

Schaffer two years to hers. They had eloped, and found they needed the extra years to be married. RACE WAR IX I.XDAIXA SCHOOL. Booneville, Ind, Sept. 11.

Claude Smith, a negro boy of 15. entered the high school for white children here today, something before unknown, and the parents of other children threaten to withdraw their pupils. The boys threaten to haze the negro and feeling is very high. The school board is being censured for permitting the boy to enter the school. LABOR UNIONS PREPARING PROGRAM FOR MEETING.

State Association of Barbers Has Drafted a Bill Which It Will Ask the Next Legislature to consider. Among the most important matters that are expected to come up at the twenty-second annual meeting of the Indiana State Federation of Labor, to be held in. Indianapolis, Sept. 25, 26 and 27. are questions of legislation.

It is proposed that a bill be Indorsed providing for a law by which barber shops may be closed on Sundays. The members of the Journeymen Barbers' International union thave had a long And lCard -AghttA VJtvlr' attempt to close the barber shops on Sundays, and have found that proceedings brought under the present law have ended In a most unsatisfactory manner. The state association of the barbers has drafted a bill, and it is the wish of the association to have the state federation endorse this bill and work for Its passage In the next session of the state legislature. Under the head of legislation It is probable that a bill will be drawn at the convention for the amendment of the. present factory inspection law.

Among other things, as contemplated. the bill will provide for increasing the factory inspector's force and will provide that women less than 21 years old shall not be permitted to work in tobacco factories. It is said that it has been found that work In such factories is injurious to a woman's nerves. Primary Election BUI. Among other legislation that is expected to come up for discussion and action is a direct primary election bill and amendment to the mining laws.

The State Federation has been active in legislative matters for a number of years and has assisted materially in the passage of a number of bills that were of benefit to labor unionists and to the public in general. The federation hr.s not had "smooth sledding" all its life. In 1888 an effort was made to turn it Into a political machine and the organization was nearly divided as a result, but the effort failed and the federation more than regained its former strength. Again, in 1S94. when politics came up again the effort was unsuccessful, and now the organization Is said to be stronger than It ever was.

He believes that by the use of letters of sufficient size street signs of the most permanent character can thus be had at practically no cost. BEASTS LIVE OUT THEIR DAYS. One of the Smithsonian scientists calls attention to the fact that the duration of the lives of lower animals differs from that of, men's lives in being far more uniform.

While human beings die at all ages between infancy and senility, among the lower animals, on the contrary, all Individuals of the same species live to evry nearly the same age, unless killed by violence.

Barnard Gees Against Ssft Drinks and Confectionery nt State Fair nnd Is Sorry. IL n. Barnard, formerly of New Hampshire, now chemist of the State laboratory of hygiene, thinks Indiana has a pretty good State Fair, despite the doubtful parentage of some of the drinks sold on the ground, says the Indianapolis News. Yesterday Chemist Barnard and Mr. McAbee, one of his Inspectors, went to the Fair, with a real and ostensible purpose to see the Fair and to inquire minutely into the family history and legitimacy of the orange ciders, the lemonades, etc, on sale.

He went out again today and told 'era what to do about it. "It's a great Fair," said the chemist. "It is the best agricultural fair that I have ever seen. Now, in New Hampshire But he was asked about the summer drinks. "I discuss that as little as possible." said the chemist, smllllng.

"I tasted about all the drinks yesterday, in making an Inspection. It was all cold that was to its credit, and that's about all that was to Its credit. I can charge a bad night up to It." Most of" the trouble was with the orange cider, so-called, aatd the chem-is. -Sugar and water, yellow dye, some extract of orange, citric and antiquated orange rinds," said the chemist, "None of it was pure. But it sold: my.

how it sold." said the chemist. "There were a lot of those stands, and I had to drink a lot of that." "Two of the five elder presses ground out the genuine cider," continued the chemist. They were good for two good drinks apiece. The other three were fakes, pure and simple. I drank some at these stands, too.

The press looked good, and perspiring gentlemen of color were industrious grinding on a handle, making the most heartrend ing noises with the machine. But the noises did not mean that apples were being ground, despite the fact that every minute or so an apple would be thrown Into the hopper, from which a rich amber fluid flowed by the quart. Some clapboards In the machine made the noise, and a bucket of brown colored water made the cider." And the lemonade was pretty fierce, too. according to Mr. Barnard.

Citric acid, sugar and water, and some lemon extract (adulterated) and some lemon rinds made this mess. "But they had a charmingly economical way about them." said the chemist. "The men behind the counter rinsed the glasses, also behind the counter. rinsed them In a bucket, originally containing water. As the rinsing colored the water the quality improved to such an extent that soon It was full-fledged lemonade, and was poured Into the Jar again.

Of course, the less a man drank, the more was left In hla glass, the more was poured into the rinse bucket, and the more economical but you understand," apologised the chemist. -Some of the concoctions contained saccharine Instead of sugar," he continued. "The poor kids who Interlarded their stomachs popcorn and this stuff I expect they spent bad nights, too," continued the chemist, ruminating. "There was a lot ot hamburger steak -3 i Br it.
