FAIRBANKS FIASCO
Returning Methodists De
clare the Defeat Result of
Prohibition Politics.
SOME ONE MADE BIG BLUNDER
This is Opinion Among Vice Presi-

Never Have Been offered.
Especial to Lake County Tames.)

4SuecAaA TO Lake 1OunAy 1ttncB.t
Indianapolis, Oct 1-Returning last
evening from Columbus, where their
conference was held, Methodist minis
ters took it upon themselves to ex-
plain why Vice President Fairbanks
was not chosen as a lay delegate TO
the Baltimore conference. The gist Of
their statements was that the prohi-
bition members of the conference
played good politics and succeeded in
defeating the man whom it had been
thought would be honored by the In
diana church and who in turn would
honor it.
Il wish to say" said DR.. Joshua
Stansheld. pastor of the vice presi-
dents church, that Mr.. Fairbanks did
not seek the delegateship. 1 suggested
that he be candidate and urged him
to let us present his name. The vice
president hesitatingly consented. Ger
tain members of the conference saw
fit to oppose him and they succeeded
in keeping him from being chosen"
Friends of Mr.. Fairbanks generally
regret the religious fiasco as they re-
gard it They think some one blum
dered It was foolishness, they say,
to present the vice presidents name If
there was the least possibility of de-
feat Their conclusion is that minis
ters are not good politicians.

CLOTHING FOUND ON
BANK OF RIVER
Ship Yards Employees Ex-
cited Over What Ap-
pears to be Mystery.
SUICIDE Theory IS ADVANCED.
Workman Remembers of Hearing
Shouts Last Night-Garments
Are Of Fashionable Cut.
Especial to Lake County Times.)

South Chicago, Oct. 1.-The finding
of an old suit of clothes at the ship
yards this morning on the banks OF the
the river. is furnishing the ship yard
employees no little excitement and al
ready the theory of suicide has been
vanced in explanation.
The clothes We're found early this
morning by George Laws, one of the
laborers employed at the yards, as he
was going to work. No letters or
other means of Identification were
found and there is much speculation
among the men as to the former owner.
The clothes probably belonged to a man
slightly over six feet in height and
were of the latest cut.
Last night another employe said he
heard several shouts from the vicinity
where the clothes were found but up
on investigation found that no one was
near the shore and returned to his
work.
Upon inquiry at the paymasters Of
fee it was learned that all their men
were at work today, so it is not prob
able that any of the ship yards on
ployes were suicides last night

START WORK ON NEW
ELECTRIC PLANT
Proprietors of Crown Point
Concern Go Over Lowell
and Lay Out Plans.
Old STRUCTURE is TO GO
New Building Will Be Erected in It's
Stead and Up-to-Date Sys-
TEN Installed
Especial to Lake County Times.l

Lowell, Oct. HI. f. Kenney, one of
the proprietors of the Crown Point
electric plant, in company with L. c.
Wiley, Monday went. over the town of
Lowell and laid out the plans for the
pole line, the wire circuit and placing
of street lights. Just as soon as pos
sible material will begin to arrive for
the construction of the new $4,000
light plant
The old light building on Halsted
street will be torn down and a new
brick building with pressed brick front
will be erected. A 100 horse power
four-valve Corliss engine will be in
stalled. When the plant is completed
it will almost be twin sister to the
fine plant at Crown Point.
1t is the intention of the company,
which has ample capital back of it,,
later on to furnish power to enter
prises now run by steam and gaso-
line engines. One by one LowelIs
"dinky" enterprises. such as the tele-
phone and electric light systems. are
passing into the hands of corporations
with the capital to install and operate
up-to-date systems, which is an indi-
cation that Lowell is rapidly leaving
behind village notions and becoming
metropolitan" 1t is only a question
OF a year or so when Lowell will be
connected with the county seat and the
cities of northern Lake county with
interurban lines. The waterworks
system Of Lowell today is inadequate
for the needs of the town, being en-
tirely too small. There is not a store
room. house or barn empty in Lowell
and from three to half a dozen moves
depends on every change Of residence
in the town. The town is certainly
congested. whether it is spreading out
or not, and there is a demand for more
renting property.

OF COAL HIGHER
Twenty Cents a Ton Tackled
Onto Price of Hooking
Valley Brand.

The expected has happened, in addi-
tion to going up in smoke, soft coal is
also going up in price. Somebody
pressed the button yesterday and the
announcement reached Hammond this
morning that 90 cents would be tackled
onto every ton Of Hooking Valley soft
coal Several coal dealers We're called
tc account for oversight in not making
X an even quarter, but hearing the sar-
castle ring in the inquirers' voice, the
dealers tried to explain by saying that
hard coal had not gone up for some
time and that it would very likely re-
main for some time at the present price
of $7.75.
The party with the ameliorating con-
ditions as an explanation also offered
the probability that the ice bill would
soon be cut down.
Some of the Hammond dealers still
have coal that was bought at lower
prices and this may be sold at the old
price. but all new coal will be sold at
an advance of 90 cents or more.
Car shortage at the mines, demand
for a higher grade of coal generally and
the early cool season. may be given as
causes for the advance" said another
dealer this morning.

H. H. LORING RESIGNS
Practice of Valpo's City At
torney Makes Resigna-
tion Advisable.
(speclaI to Lake County Tlmes.l

Valparaiso. Ind. Sept. 30.-City At
torney H. H. Loring surprised the peo-
pie of this city Saturday when he ten
dered his resignation to the members
Of the local city council.
The excuse he gave them was that
he found his practice demanded too
much Of his attention TO make t worth
while fer him to spend the time neces-
sary TO do the business Of the city.
The real cause for his resignation
is said TO be the action Of the city
in cutting his salary $50 in order to
effect certain economies. This reduced
the salary from $500 TO $3.50 a year
and it was this together with the fact
that his business has greatly increased
that caused Mr.. Loring to resign.
It is said that there has been con-
siderable friction over the matter he
tween the officials Of the city The
council took no action bur viii meet
Tuesday, Oct. l. to consider the matter.
There are said to be several candi-
dates in the field who will accept the
position that Mr.. Loring has just va
Gated. among those who will try
TO secure the election are Rodnek J.
Kitchen and c. 3. Tinkham.

c. ELMER NICHOLS
TALKS ABOUT CROPS
Gives Interesting Figures
Concerning Yield in vi
cinity of Lowell.
NOT AS BAD AS IT MIGHT Be
However, All Grains and Hay Run
Lighter This Year Than
Full Crop"
Especial to Lake County rimes.)

Lowell, Ind. Oct. I'm an inter
view with c. E. Nichols, a prominent
hay and grain dealer of this place,
who operates a big elevator here and
one at Cook Ind, and is vice presi-
dent of the National Hay Dealers as
sociation, he gave some conservative
estimates of the crop conditions in this
vicinity. He said, basing his figures
on an approximate estimate, that the
hay crop this year was 80 per cent of
a full crop; oats, so per cent; corn, 75
per cent. The recent frost did little or
no damage to the corn, checking the
growth and causing the ears to ripen
more quickly.
The average yield of corn this year
he thought was about 80 bushels per
acre; some fields will run so bushels,
while some are a total failure. The
oats this year were a light crop, av-
eraging about 20 or 25 bushels per
acre. Hay averaged about one ton per
acre. A quantity of wheat and rye
were also grown. Some very fine
wheat crops were mentioned. No l
hay is selling at s11 per ton; corn. 60
cents per bushel; oats 46 cents per
bushel; wheat 80 cents per bushel;
rye, 80 cents per buSheL
Last year there were shipped by the
grain dealers OF this place about S00.-
600 bushels of grain and 400 cars of
hay. The dealers paid out over $780,
600 for grain and hay to local farm
ers last year, Mr.. Nichols alone pay
ing out $15o,0O0. and this year he will
pay $125, 900. The crops this year were
not equal 10 those OF last year.
The south end of Lake county is in
the best agricultural belt in northern
Indiana 1t outclasses Jasper and
Newton counties and compares fav-
orably with the rich lands in eastern
Illinois.
Lowell has two big grain elevators
of large capacity, and four hay deal
ers The Keilman- -Kimmet company
operates a big elevator and receives
much grain and hay. besides manufae-
turing flour and feeds. There is also
an elevator at Dinwiddie Station. six
miles east. operated by the Dinwiddie
Bros. while there is an elevator about
the same distance west. Much hay
and grain are also shipped from North
Hayden. two miles west of Lowell
From these facts it shows that this
vicinity is in fine agricultural belt
and that Lowell is an important ship
ping point
Mr. Nichols went 10 Cincinnati to-
day as a delegate from the National
Hay Dealers association TO the Ma
tional Grain Dealers association. which
convenes Wednesday and Thursday.

NO TROUBLE EXPECTED
Strike of Chicago Pressmen
Will Not Affect
Conkey Plant.

I'VE are aware of the movement of
the pressmens union of Chicago to
iEaugurate a strike for an eight hour
day. but as far as we are concerned we
anticipate absolutely no trouble. In
fact l can say with this best OF assur-
ance that there will be no hitch in our
plant" said A. E. Wilcox, general man
ager Of the Conkey printing company
to THE LAKE COUNTY TIMES today
The pressmen in several large Chi
cago plants walked out this morning
a result of the companies refusal to
grant the eight hour day. the com
panies saying that they would fight
the proposition. The eight hour day
was not to go into effect until Jan /.
1909. the union president having made
a contract with the companies to that
effect. The union, however, repudiates
this contract saying that another presi-
dent is at the head and that the con-
tract was made without the consent
OF the men in the ranks
The Conkey pressmen have been un-
ionized since the beginning Of the year
and are working under the Chicago
union charter.

MILK WILL Be HIGHER
Dealers Raise Price Cent a
Quart-Milk Trust
is Blamed.
tspecial to Lake County Timesl

South Chicago, Oct. 1.-The milk
dealers of South Chicago, this morning
raised the price of the lacteal fluid
from six cents quart to seven and the
price of cream from twenty -four cents
to twenty eight 1t was announced
that the raise is not the only one in
sight. and that before the month is
over milk viii be selling for eight
cents and cream for thirty.
The cause of the raise was explained
by John Mewes. one of the leading milk
dealers of South Chicago, in an inter-
view with a LAKE COUNTY TINES report
er this morning. He stated that the
dealers were compelled 10 accept a
raise in the price OF the fluid from the
producer, or the association which
handles the output of the farmer. This
raise left them no alternative and to
make any profit whatever. they were
compelled in turn TO make the consum-
er pay the difference. He also said that
the present milk famine had a great
deal TO do with the raise IN the price.
as the cows at the present time with
the feed do not give SO much milk.
