AS GOVERNOR
New York Republican Con-

Platform Demands Reduction Off
Representation Where Hitter
ateS Are DisfranChised.

Saratoga. N. Y, Sept. 26.-State
Senator w. w. Armstrong of Roches-
ter was elected permanent chairman
of the republican state convention.
The committee on resolutions then
made their report, which was adopt
ed.
The Platform In Substance
Endorses the administration of Pres
ident Roosevelt and the administra-
ton of Governor Higgins. 1t ap-
proves the legislation granting sub
stantial reduction of the price of gas
to New York city, and favors the ex-
tension of legislation to the regula-
ton of all public utility corporations.
1t affirms the wisdom of the
protective tariff and endorses
the action taken by President
Roosevelt in his application of the
eight-hour law. The reduction OF
representation in the electoral col
lege and in congress, to Offset the
suppression of the elective franchise.
is demanded, as Is also the punish
ment of mob leaders and instigators
of mobs.
Leaders Up All Night.
The republican leaders who were in
conference at o'clock this morning
were the first to appear today, and
by o'clock had taken hold of the
tangled situation with the intention
of bringing about an understanding
before the convection should be ready
for ballotig. 1t is expected that the
convention will name the ticket and
conclude its business today. 1t is
dnG - hot
ernor Bruce is out OF the race and
that the nomination of Charles e.
Hughes becomes more probable as
the morning advances.
Presidents Preference.
1t was quite freely asserted during
the early hours that the action of the
state leaders, receding from their op-
position to Hughes, was caused by
President Roosevelt's insisting upon
Hughes nomination. One of the
best informed leaders. when asked IL
anything had been received from the
president, replied that he knew of
nothing more directly from him than
had been said by Parsons, whose
statements have implied rather than
asserted that President Roosevelt de-
sired the nomination of Hughes.
Hughes Named by Acelamation.
After several seconding speeches.
the nomination of Hughes was made
by acclamation. Lieutenant Govern
or Bruce was similarly renominated.
On motion one ballot was cast for the
denomination of John F. O'Brien as
secretary of state; Martin e. Lewis
for comptroller, ]. L. Walletmier for
the legislature, II. A. Van Alstye as
surveyor. and julius NJ Mayer as at
torney general.
New Chairman state Committee.
Ex-Leutenant Governor Woodruff
was elected chairman of the state
central committee, succeeding Odell.
The convention then adjourned, sine

officers captured Dawson in Chicago
and brought him back to Hammond to

Salisbury says he has learned that
the man is a crook and had worked

81 per cent OF the valilla extract was
adulterated this year. the amount
adulterated was only 27.2 per cent of
all examined.
The percentage Of adulteration in
the lemon extracts decreased in like

Railroad Statistics Show In

Except in Salary.
DECREASE IS GENERAL
Number of Injured this Year Larger,
as Is Also Number of
Killed.
Especial to Lake County Tlmes.)

tSPec1at 10 Lake County T4mes.)
Indianapolis, Oct. 26 - Joseph h
Stubbs, chief of the Indiana Bureau Of
Statistics, has just completed some sta
tistics with reference to all the steam
railroads in the state that startIe a lit
tie because of their sic. They are the
total figures for the lines that cross the
state, and include the entire scope Of
their business, and not Indiana alone.
Comparative figures are made-those
for the year ending June 80, 1906, com
pairing with those for the year ending
June 80, 1905. making a satisfactory
basis of comparison.
One or two facts stand out rather
clearly from an examination of these
comparative figures; that while general
freight and passenger business has in
creased; that while the gross income
from and the gross expenses for vari-
Gus parts of the various phases of the
general transportation business has in
creased; vet the average daily wage of
almost every class of employee has de-
creased.
Almost all along the line the 1906
figures show an increase over those for
the corresponding year-hoth on the
income and the expense side Earn
ings, operating expenses, passenger and
freight traffic freight-traffic movement
all these have increased their totals.
Even the number of accidents in
creased and the amount of damages
are larger.
The number of injuries increased
from 4.163 in 1905 to 1920 in 1906. OF
the 1905 accidents 354 were fatal, and
3, sos We're just injuries Of different de-
grees of seriousness. OF the 1906 acct
dents 325 were killed and 1896 in
jured. The damages paid in 1906 were
$36,577.S5, as compared with damages
in 1906 to the amount of $43,132.95
The gross earnings increased from
| S21S.397,693.14 to S265,3f9, 9,901.72, grand
total expenses from $162.736,14175 to
$202. .56o.09S.58. gross income from $50
661, ,551.39 to $71,61S,106.50. net income
from s13,828,O53.70 to S23.095, ,417.21, net
surplus from s6,933, ,Ss1,17 to 1895,
| 377.02.
over against this general increase
there is an almost general decrease in
the average daily wages paid during
the year 1906. In a few instances there
was slight increases; station agents
did five cents worth more good to
themselves in raising their average
from $195 to So a day; the average OF
other stationmen was raised from S1.42
to S1.75, machinists from $3.50 to $2.64;
carpenters from s2.16 to s217; and
common trackmen from $1.36 to S137
Then comes the decreases:
General officers, from $12.69 to 1855
other officers. from s6.67 to $3.50; gen
eral office clerks from $2.41 to s1.93
enginemen from $40 to 1884; firemen
from sass to $2.39; conductors from
s337 to s3.SS; other trainmen, from
S233 to 1926; shopmen, other than ma
chinists and carpenters, from S1.9o tc
$1S6; section foremen. from s1.S4 tc
$173; switchmen, lagmen and watch

SCHOOL RATES LOWER
Hammond Board of Education Takes
= '.,es sStAs sssx~ss.@
Advantage and Insures Schools
at Enormous Reduction.

The question of fire insurance rate
making schedules is nearing a solution
in Lake county, and in fact throughout
the whole state. Insurance companies
will be furnished with estimates OF
risks. This method. which is already
established in Ohio and several western
states, is intended to do away with the
squabbles over the different schedules
that the state board and the state
league have indulged in.
Rate schedule agitations have been
coming and going in Hammond until
last Tuesday insurance men in this
city, union as well as non-union men,
got together and petitioned the West
ern Union insurance companies for a
man to be sent to Hammond. in order
to re-rate it under the Dean schedule,
and thus do away with the Simonson
schedule, which has been largely in
use.
The petition had hardly gone out of
Hammond when it was given out that
at meeting of the state board at In
dianapolis last Monday that body had
decided to discontinue its functions as
rate making body. and instead ac-
knowledge the rates that viii be given
out by the Independent inspection bui

NJ. Sellers, the present secretary of the
Indiana state board.

acceptable to the state league. or the
non union companies. All companies
whether union of non union. may buy
rates from the new bureau. Similar
changes have been forced in Other
states by the enactment of anti-com-
pact laws, but in Indiana the bureau
system has been adopted as a matter ot
choice.
The disturbance in Indiana insurance
circles became especially strong since
the San Francisco disaster, and came
to a climax last June, when the state
board tried to promulgate certain ad
vances on certain risks, among then
being a twenty-five per cent raise OF
school buildings and churches.
Later however, this was Cancelled
and the local board of education tool
immediate steps to get in on the grounC
floor for the good rates that were of
fered instead.
Take Advantage of New Rate.
E. E. Beck, insurance inspector, re
rated all the school buildings unde
the new rate. and he and the board o
education have consequently been abl'
to save the city almost twenty-five pc
cent. of the insurance expenses that i
has been paying heretofore. The boar'
bought up its outstanding policies, am
had new ones issued for term of fiv'
years, adopting the eighty per cent. in
surance clause, thereby getting an
other twenty per cent. off.

Squire Gordon this morning. u
Twill be remembered that his wife

with destroying property not his
own. He proved tosthe satisfaction
Of the court that the property was
Ibis own and also defined his motives
for doing same by SAYING that he
Imistrusted his wife and that on the
day the deed was committed he
found letter that confirmed his sus-
.picion. The charge against him was
dismissed but from hints dropped by
himself and his attorney, Charles
Moore, it is apparent that a suit for
divorce will be instituted BY Fields
in the near future.
