HANLY HOME
TOMORROW
Governor Leaves Pittsburg
This Afternoon; Reaches
Capital in Morning.
WHAT WILL He DO?'
Executives Action With Reference to
Strike at Evansville Anx-
iously Awaited.
Especial to Lake County Times.)

Indianapolis, May Ex-Governor
Hanly is expected home tomorrow. He
was scheduled to leave Pittsburg this
afternoon, and arrive in this city
Thursday morning. The word he
sends home Is that he is very much
better. and entirely fit for work. AS
a matter OF side information, it may
be stated that his friends do no be-
lieve the rosy reports he has been
sending about his condition. On his
way home, too. is Union B. Hunt, chair
man of the railroad commission, who
has been at Atlantic City for about two
weeks.
The state house is wondering what
the governor will do as to three propo-
sitions-at least Two concern ap-
pointments and the third is with ref
erence to the Evansville strike situa-
ton.
The prediction is made by the gov
ernor's friends that he will not hesi-
tate to send the troops down to Evans
Vile, whether they are asked for or
not, should there be xurther disorder
The governor does not have to wait
until asked by the local authorities
TO send troops, but may send them if
the situation is such as to make him
believe that the local authorities are
unable to cope with the situation. He
is to be the judge as TO this.
The governor has kept in close
touch with the Evansville situation,
as we'll as lesser matters, since he has
been away. It is understood that he
has consulted with his secretary, Col.
Fred Gemmer. with reference to this
situation several times. a single overt
act will probably result in the hurrying
down Of the Indiana national guard.
Two appointments are that OF the
factory inspector and that Of the ex-
eeutive accountant. There are a dozen
stories about each. All involve the
name Of William Blakely OF Shelby
vile. Congressman Watson's friend
Some OF the stories say that he Is TO
get the factory inspectorship. now held
by d. H. McAbee. Others say that

Representatives OF THE LAKE COUNTY
TINES visited the West Hammond
dumps last night and found evidence
that would convict the divekeepers on
charges OF selling liquors without a
license and also on running houses OF
I'll fame.
The Nonpariel. OF which Lewis Bax-
ter is the PROPRIETOR was the flrst place
visited by the party. In the NonparieI
proper there was nothing doing. on
the bar We're two S2-calibre revoivers
and a few wine glasses. On the mirror
was large sign. Nothing but soft
drinks sold here" When the bartender
was asked II ii was not possible TO get
drink he sized up the party and
finally told them TO so straight back
TO a barn in the rear and go upstairs.
This was done and here was an abund-
ance Of wet goods and incidentally
there were several girls all smoking
cigarettes and clothed in scanty cos
tunes.
After spending about half an hour
in this camp. Boughs resort. I21 Plum
mer avenue, was visited. Here from
outside appearance It looked like there
was nothing doing. but when inside
and after answering few questions
asked by the bartender he escorted tho
visitors upstairs in the loft OF tha
house and here the same as at the
Nonpariel, girls in limited apparel. were
congregated smoking cigarettes and
the interior certainly presented a gala
appearance.

Bough place and each time have been
unable to find any evidence upon which

unity leads the citizens to the opinion
that the police ought to be able TO
find evidence enough against It to ar
rest the proprietor.
This morning member of the po-
lice force said: we are doing our
level best to get the dives ousted and
think ii will be accomplished"
Last night two Of the divekeepers ex-
| tended the invitation to come around
Thursday night and everything would
be running wide open as they would
have their licenses then.
/ What the divekeepers intend to
spring is problematical. From what they
said last night it looks like they are
banking on getting new licenses at the
hands of the village board who con-
vene at their regular meeting tomor-
row night
A member of the board was asked
this morning iS It was right about

getting new licenses tomorrow night,
he said It was the first he knew about
it and he did not think they had a
| chance.
Some interesting subjects for dis
cussion are expected to come up at the
meeting tomorrow night.

Stories of Robberies and
Depredations Brighten
the Residents.
TRAMPS GROW BOLD.
Hoboes and Drunks Sleep on Re-
spectacle DOorsteps-"Drys"
Agitate.

A series of petty robberies. coupled
with the presence of numerous drunks
and tramps, have caused residents on
State. Sibley and Plummer streets east
of Calumet avenue to feel unsafe either
in their houses or on the streets after
the early part of the evening
Nearly every night for the past week
there has been indiscriminate shooting
done in this neighborhood by rowdies
and drunks who seem to take great
pleasure in disturbing the usual quiet
tude of the vicinity. In the last few
days. however, the situation has taken
more serious turn and several rob-
berries have been narrowly averted by
the presence Of mind and aggressive
ness of those the thieves have attempt
ed to victimize.
The Lukeman case was the last one
OF this kind to be reported and tends to
show the variety of light fingered gen
try who are infesting- this neighbor-
hood. When a man attempted to en-
ter his own home at 615 Sibley street
Saturday night, Mr. LulIemann, revol-
yer in hand, threatened, it is said, to
shoot If he did not get out. but the
robber calmly told. him to go ahead
and shoot This he did, though he
aimed up In the air and the man pro-
ceeded to "vamose."
other Attempts.
A more successful attempt was made
Sunday night at the home of a woman
IN Sibley street who keeps boarders,
but whose name was withheld. A
small amount of money, together with
a quantity Of meat and bread were
taken which would indicate that
tramps. whose original intention was
to secure something to eat were re-
sponsible IT is reported that there was
also an attempt to rob the residence of
Stewart Blair at 744 Sibley street, but
the thieves were frightened away.
The police say there are but two
theories that could account for this
lawlessness. One is that an organ
ized band of thieves are working in
this section Of the town, but ii is more
probable that tramps and crooks
hanging out" at the Gibson yards or
the Car company, find this territory
convenient. and a more safe one to
work by reason of the insufficient num-
Der of police patroling this territory.
This being a part of the proposed dry
district, the dry" advocates are using
ment in favor of the abolition of the
saloons which they claim are largely
responsible for the trouble. So many
drunks have been seen on the streets
OF late, who even go so far as to
sleep on the residents doorsteps that
women Of the neighborheed never feel
safe to so out on the street after dark
unaccompanied.

BIG FOURTH" At
INDIANA HARBOR
Plans Are Made to Have
Fireman's Picnic on In
dependence Day.

The people of Indiana Harbor are
taking time by the forelock and are
already planning for a big Fourth of
July celebration. In fact it is 10 he
q sort of iremen's picnic and a
Fourth merged into one ana everyone
know what that means.
The fremens picnic Is always an
event of great Importance to both In
diana Harbor and East Chicago and
everyone knows that independence day
is a big event everywhere.
To make the celebration the biggest
one in the county. the people of Indi-
ana Harbor have decided to merge
these two holidays into one and will
celebrate them together
Fine Music and Decorations.
The city Will be gaily decorated with
flags and bunting and there viii be
band music galore. Invitations will be
extended to all of the surrounding
cities TO participate and there is no
doubt that to the average person in
the country the solution Of the Gues-
tion as TO where to spend the Fourth
of July Will be, Indiana Harbor."
Several speakers will be selected to
attend to that feature of the pyrotech-
mics of the day and everything will be
done tosprovide good old fashioned
Fourth"
SO FAR the promoters have kept
things pretty quiet expecting to make
their announcement later. but the story
leaked out and from now on. they will
be in the limelight until they see the
consummation of their plans on the
glorious Fourth.
AS soon as the plans have progressed
far enough to enable the promoters to
decide upon the details. an announce
ment OF them will be made in the col
nnlns or this paper.

.DENEEN TO SIGN
NEW CANAL BILL
Drainage Trustees Claim
Two Harbors Will Be
Necessary for Traffic.

At the meeting of the trustees of the
sanitary district which was held today
the probable action of the governor re-
garding the signing of the bill provid-
ing the means TO dig the Calumet and
Evanston auxiliaries will be discussed,
but there was no apprehension yester-
day that the governor will veto the
bill. Trustee Edward I. Williams said
that the Calumet and Evanston chan
nels would not affect the widening and
deepening of the Chicago river. but,
on the contrary, the new work would
simply make two entrances to the
lakes to the gulf deep water way in
stead OF one. The railroad facilities
along the Chicago river he asserted,
would not stand the strain of the out
let for the lake commerce in the event
that only the Chicago river were made
the mouth of the water way. The
Evanston and Calumet work. he said.
is demanded by the need for drainage
anyway, and at the same time a ship
canal should be dug.
IF" said Mr. Williams, Chicago
continues to grow at the present rate
in twelve years we shall have almost
four million people and the land at
the mouth of the Calumet river viii be
developed. 1t is very short sighted
policy to feel that the Chicago river
will be able to take care of all the
lake commerce that the time will bring
10 Chicago. and the opening at the
Calumet river ght as well be dug
with that in view as the sole purpose
of additional drainage. The move on
the part of the real estate board is
simply a desire to retard the devel-
opment Of the southern section of the
city which yet awaits development.
New Steamers too Big for Channels.
1t was brought TO light yesterday
that even with the facilities of the new
canals at point above Evanston and
at the Calumet the depth of the canal
in the main and secondary channels will
not be great enough to take care Of
the great lake steamers which are un-
der construction. The depth of the
channel in the canal is for vessels of
nineteen feet draft, while the new boats
under construction draw twenty-si,,
feet and are 600 feet long.
That extended additional improve
ments costing millions OF dollars will
be needed before the deep water wav
TO the Mississippi is complete via the
drainage canal is the view taken by
several of the men who have looked
into the problem and by some OF the
trustees This sum will be very large
alone, which is not prepared for the
draft of the vessels that will be used
when the deep water way is opened

Mrs. Martha Tilton Tries
Two Methods to End
Her Life.
IS SAVED BY HER SON
After Vain Attempt to Cut Artery in
Right Wrist, Woman Tries
Asphyxiation.

Mrs. Martha Tilton, living at 116 East
Doty street. attempted to commit sui
eide yesterday afternoon by asphyxia-
tion, and only for the prompt arrival
of her son. undoubtedly she would
have accomplished her design. This
attempt was made after an unsuccess-
full one to end her life by cutting an
artery OF her wrist.
Since the death of her son, Clarence.
who died a few months ago. Mrs. Til
ton has been worrying over it and
day by day she would go TO the ceme-
terry and weep over the grave of her
son. This preyed upon her mind to
such an extent that she is thought TO
have become partially demented, and
yesterday, in a fit OF temporary in
sanity. locked herself in a bedroom and
turned on the gas.
About 6 o'clock yesterday afternoon
her son came home from work and
when outside the door. noticed the
smell of escaping gas. Finding the
front door locked 10 rushed around to
the rear door. This he forced open
and. going inside, saw his mother in
her bedroom with the gas jets open.
Is Dazed for the Time.
For a moment he was dazed. scarce
ly knowing what to do. This condi-
ton was, however. but momentary.
Siezing the half-conscious form he
carried her outside and laying her on
the ground. hastened to call a physi-
clan. Restoratives were applied and
these, together with the fresh air, soon
brought her back to consciousness.
On examination it was also found
that Mrs. Tilton had tried to cut the
artery of her right hand with a knife
but had failed to each through sto IN,
artery.
A TIMES reporter called at the home
of Mrs. Tilton this morning, but the
family refused to talk about the mat
ter.
According to reports from the house
this afternoon Mrs. Tilton is in a very
bad condition and may not live through
the day.
1t is said that Mrs. Tilton imagined
that everyone was her enemy when
according to statements from her
friends, she has not an enemy in Ham
mond.

Five Teamsters Who Ccnsid-
er Themselves Underpaid
May Cause a Strike.
WILL KNOW TOMORROW
Local Union to Hold Meeting Then at
Which Cause of the Dissatisfied
Will Be Considered.

Because of the small wages paid by
their employer, Jacob Wiker, five of
his teamsters went on a strike Mon
day morning and since then have re-
fused to go back to work.
The men employed by Wiker have
been working between fourteen and
sixteen hours every day and have only
been getting from s10.5O to s12 per
week. This includes taking care Of
the horses on Sunday.
The regular Union scale for a team
ster is s14 and the striking teamsters
are asking for the regular scale with
ten hour day. So far this has been
refused by Wiker and as a result he
has been unable TO get any teamsters
since Monday.
Business Agent Talks.
Thomas Herril, who is the business
agent for the local Union said today:
"Our men do not want to make a big
splurge for big wages, but we do
want to get enough to support our
families. There are now over two
hundred men in Hammond local and
every man is watching the outcome of
the strike of Wiker's men,
When asked If there was any proba-
bility of the whole local going out in
sympathy, Herril replied Well I am
not prepared to definitely state any
thing on t44at at present, but I will
know about this tomorrow as we hold
our regular meeting tonight and 1t is
expected that this subject will come
up.
Just what action will be taken at the
meeting tonight is problematic but It
is expected that unless Wiker meets
the demands of his men for higher
wages, more men viii go out IN sym
pathy with their brother Union men.
