Presidents Answer to G.. A.
RS Protest Against Visit
is Expected Today.
Indianapolis, April 19.-Special.

Indianapolis, April 19.-SpeciaI
Probably today will decide whether
the elaborate exercises that have been
arranged for the unveiling of the
Lawton monument here in Indianapolis,
on Memorial day, will go through as
planned. or whether. by the refusal of
the president to attend and make the
principal speech, the whole program
Will be spoiled, as is feared The pres
ident has not yet refused to attend the
celebration, but there is a grave pos
sibility that he will do So Today 1t is
expected that z. T. Landers, one of the
old soldiers who has led the opposition
to the presidents appearance here on
that day. will get from the president
or his secretary a written reply to the
protest that Landers sent the president,
asking that he not interfere with the
regular Memorial day exercises by
speaking at the Lawton unveiling.
This contention has been waging for
some weeks. The Lawton committee
arranged for the unveiling on Memorial
day without consulting with the old
soldiers and they resented the ar
rangements, on the ground that the
fact of the presidents speech here
would tend to spoil many of the regu-
lar Memorial day celebration all over
the state. as we'll as in indianapolis.
While, after some debate the con-
servative members of the organization
prevented that body from sending a
formal protest to the president, yet
there was no way to prevent one of
the comrades. acting in his individual
capacity, from sending what protests
he wanted to. So Landers wrote
around to the different posts IN the
state, asking what resolutions they
had adopted against the Lawton pro-
gram and the presidents speech, and
on last Monday. he telegraphed to the
president, asking If the president
wanted to be advised as to the situ-
alton. On Tuesday he received a tele-
gram from William Loeb, jr., the presi-
dents secretary. asking that the In
formation be sent And Landers sent
1T that night Today the letter giving
the presidents conclusion in the light
of all the circumstances is expected to
be received here. Dispatches from
Washington are to the effect that the
letter is written.
The contents of the letter are not
known. on the whole. however, mas
much as the president has gone so far
with this engagement, there is an i'm
preston he will keep it, despite the
G. A R. trouble, and will come here
on the day set, unveil the monument,
and deliver the speech on which he
has been working for some time. It
is understood that IN this speech,
Will take up the railroad rate stu
ton. though in a general way, it Will
probably be a Memorial day address
This part of the speech will proAab

ONLY THE STATE MAY
LICENSE AUTOMOBILES.
Omission of Clause I'm New Law Pro-
hibits Cities and Towns from Levy
ing Tax on One of the Luxuries of
the Age.
Especial to Lake County Times.)

indianapolis. April 19.-It appears
that the different local ordinances in
the several cities and towns of the
state with reference to the licensing
OF motor vehicles are worth as much
as the white paper they are printed
on and no more. This is owing to the
amendment TO the 1905 motor vehicle
law that was passed by the general as
sembly of 1907.
In section 10 Of the motor vehicle
law of 1905. provision was made for
the numbering, the registering of these
vehicles, and the payment of a fee OF
one dollar. Then there was a clause
to the effect that no other fee should
be charged, except that any city or
town could charge a fee from the own
ers of machines who lived in that city
or town.
Now the 1907 law amended this sec
tion. The object in amending 1t was
in order to prescribe a different sys-
tenn and series of numbering. and II
was thought that this was the only
result accomplished by the law. But
investigation shows the matter up diff
ferently.
That part of the section with refer
ence to the change in the system OF
numbering was amended all right; but
that clause which gives the local au-
thorities the right TO tax the motor
vehicles in their home towns was omit
ted. With the result that so far as
can be ascertained, no town or city has
the right to lay any tax on any auto
mobile in that city. The state alone.
under the 1907 law, has the right to
tax and regulate them. This is the
opinion Of the city attorney OF IN
dianapolis. who was anxious, for the
sake Of the city treasury. to find the
opposite result the true one

COPS VISIT
SIGNIFICANT
Chicago Sleuths Stalk West
Hammond to Latter's
CONSERVATION.
MISSION MYSTERIOUS
Believed To Be Allies of States At
torney Healy-Is Suppression
of Dives Next9

What was the mission of the i've
Chicago policeman who visited West
Hammond last night, is the question
that is bothering the dive keepers and
saloon men. 1t Is known to be a fact
that there were five plain clothes men
OUT taking in every saloon and dive in
west Hammond last night. although
they used every means to keen the
matter quiet and not betray their real
occupation, as most Of them We're pos
ing as well-to-do sports. but one OF the
men who had his coat unbuttoned was
attacked by a sneezing fit outside one
OF the dives and his coat flew back,
revealing a large star. He was then
aeosted by TINES reporter. who ask
ed him the object of his visit to the
village. but he refused to say any
thing more than. 1T is nobodys busi-
ness by my own"
The officer then walked away and
was Joined by another officer 1t is
known to be a fact that the plain
clothes men were in every dive and
saloon in the village. and it was also
noticed that when once outside. the
men would mark down something in
their memorandum books. probably the
-'A-DNA Va thS SNiooh 10 De USED Tor
reference.
The only plausible explanation is that
the men were sent out to West Ham
mond by States Attorney Healey to
make canvass of the dives and learn
the true state of affairs that are exist
ing in the village
Village Attorney S. X. Markham has
taken the matter before the states at
torney, and the latter has assured
Markham he would make personal
investigation. and II conditions like
those reported to him we're found 10
exist in the dives they would be put
out Of business after May l. as all OF
their licenses expired at that time
Only few of the saloon and dive
keepers were aware that the men were
out last night and then not until after
they had made the rounds About 10
o'clock last night it was generally
known over the red light district that
Healey had men out and from then on
everything around the dives was quiet
and orderly, but the word was not
passed around quickly enough, as the
Chicago men had completed their work
before their mission was discovered.
They We're around the village until
early this morning, however.
The West Hammond police admit
that Chicago officers We're out, but said
they did not know what they were do

mated by all night party-said to
be poker game-in clubroom 6 at the
York this morning.
The business purpose in Mr.. Corey's
visit was to hear reports regarding the
work at Gary, Ind, where the steel
company has located it's industrial city.
Since reports that he is engaged to
marry Mabelle Gilman the actress, on
May gained circulation Mr. Corey has
refused to see reporters. E. J. Buffing-
ton, president of the Illinois Steel
company, however, denied a rumor
that John F. Stevens, who has been
in charge of the government work on
the Panama canal and has gone to
New York, is to be placed at the head
of the construction work of Gary.
Charges that Superintendent Gleason
has not been getting the best results
with funds at his command have been
made, and these were thrashed over at
the conference. 1t is also said that the
resignation of Vice President Thorpe
was submitted to Mr.. Corey
On the question of the franchise or
dinances which the United States
Steel company officials are trying to
get from the Gary board of trustees

CEMENT WALKS FOR HOFFMAN,
STREET TO THE CEMETERY.
BOard of Public Works Decided to Au-
thOrize Making the Improvement
Latter to Extend Past CIty's Harrf-
son Park Frontage.

At the meeting of the board Of pub
lie works this morning it was decided
to authorize the building OF cement
walks along the entire east side OF
Holman street to the cematery.
This viii include all of the cfty's
Harrison park frontage and will result
In the building OF cement walks OF
uniform width and grade all the way
out to the ridge road
The Improvement was decided upon
on account of the large number OF
people who are compelled 10 use the
walk in going to and from the ceme-
tary and also for the reason that the
neighborohood is building up so rap
idly that it Will very soon be impos-
sible to get along without it.
The bids on the West Detroit De-
troit street sewer We're received and
all rejected for the reason that they
were at least s27 from the estimate.
Another important action was the
authorizing Of the paving of all of the
alleys in the business district This
will not only make the city more
sanitary, but viii enable the alleys
to carry some Of the heavy traffic that
the streets are now compelled to
carry.

The decision was reached yesterday.
1t followed the visit to LaPorte yes
terday afternoon of the party of Lake
Shore officials entrusted with the max
ing of a decision. That they acted
with consummate wisdom in deciding
to give LaPorte a modern station house
goes without saying. Emphasis is
given the decision to build by the
statement of John Magnuson, of Elk

intend the erection of the freight de-
pot. that his orders are to remain

Rlchinonds gain from the removal
of this tax has been practically moth
Ing. and her net loss is a promising

fered by those who opposed the tax
was that 1t was wrong in principle and
vicious In practice to tax the people at
large for the benefit OF a. manufacture

as the decalogue, but II applied In all
directions 1t would wipe out every

argument OF The T.mes-Dispatch was
and is that so long as protection is the
recognized policy of the Republican
administration its benefits should apply
alike to all persons engaged In leglti-
mate trade. The tariff at best is class
legislation. but 1t is worse when It's
benefits are given to one class Of manu-
fncturers and withheld from others. So
long as New York factories are pro-

factories be protected. If that be
treason to tariff-reform, make the most

But the Richmond incident mas not

how unwise and unsound is the whole
system OF protection. No industry can
be safe or stable, which depends upon
