CANDIDATES FALL
BY THE WAYSIDE
Names of Independents Will
Not Be on the County
Ticket.
APPLICATIONS WERE ILLEGAL
Casper Fletcher of Creston Will Nurse
His Aspirations to the Shrievlty
for Another Two Years.
Especial to THE TIMES. J


Crown Point, Oct, 33.-Because they
failed to have a notarial acknowledg
ment to each of the twenty FIVE names
that appeared on their petition. the
names of II. E. Smith. of Hobart, as
an Independent candidate for trustee
of Ross township, and Casper Fletcher,
of Creston, as an independent candi-
date for sheriff of Lake county. were.
rejected by the county election COM
missioners.
While these two men were running
in thisa campaign on an independent
ticket they were in no way affiliated
with the independence party of Hearst's
origin, and consequently there is no
loss to that ticket.
Did Not Comply With Law.
The election commissioner in re-
fusing to put the names on the ballot
held that the candidates in question had
not complied with the law, to the eff
feet that each and every one of the
twenty five signers whose petition for
the candidate, must have their signi-
lures acknowledged by a notary pub
lie. This, according to the election
commissioners, they failed to do, they
having complied only insofar as their
own signatures were concerned.
1t is not thought that either. of the
two men will contest the decision OF
the election commissioners. Mr.. Felch-
er having expressed himself as being
satisfied, but that he would make the
! race again two years hence

the sake of passing comment to see

depot at Hammond for the accommo-
dation of the crowds who will want to
follow Mr.. Taft to Gary after he fin
isheh his speech here but the fare to
Gary on this train will be but 10 cents,
which is less than third of the regu-
lar fare.
Any one who can get dime to-
gether will be privileged to go to the
new steel city, see the big parade and
return to Hammond on the same spe-
cial as soon as the meeting is over.

New York, Dec 10.-William Nelson
Cromwell, attorney for the canal COM
mission, tonight gave out lengthy
statement in connection with the pur-
chase of the Panama canal, in which
fraud is charged against certain re-
publicans. and which has caused quite
a spirited controversy during the
past few days between President
Roosevelt, the editor of the New York

listed an American syndicate composed

case.
Every cent of the $40, 900, 900 paid

MERCHANTS WILL PAY DIFFER

NEXT YEAR.
Various Amendments Offered to c
dinsnce Before It Was Passed
Last Night-Near- Beer Deal

The old time citizens OF Brunswick.
and especially those who have been
in a habit OF paying a license tax TO
the city each year, will hardly recog-
niZe the license ordinance as adopted
at a meeting of council last night and
which Will appear in ful in The News
tomorrow morning.
The council made many changes in
This ordinance and sought to eradu-
ate In many ways he tax insomuch
as ii relates TO small merchants. IN
other words. council made an effort to
protect the merchant Of small capital
as against the one with q large sur
plus. and accord nS!y ncluded in it's
ordinance a license for merchants
scaled en- the amcun, OF stock carried.
This item. the most important one OF
the various changes. fixes n minimum
tax OF $40 on stocks valued at 81 900
and graduates up to a total tax of $25
to include stocks valued upwards OF
$4,000
The same spirit governed council
in the fixing of licenses for contract
ors and the scale runs from SIS to
5000 on contracts ranging in total from
$1,000 up to $4,000 and above $4,000
to go into the 5000 class.
Pawnbrokers came in for jolt and
the license was increased from sl0O
to 5000 per year
Junk dealers received the same
treatment. Private bankers. who
have been doing business under IL
cense of $25. win have to pay a IL
cense of $50 next year.
There were several other minor
changes in the ordinance, which, as
above stated. win appear in these col
umns tomorrow morning.
II took the vote of the mayor to
prevent retail near beer dealers from
being taxed $500 per year instead of
$l00, as is the case at present. The
amendment was suggested by Alder
man Taylor and resulted in tie vote
as follows: Yer the increase. Alder
men Cox, Mann, Dart and Taylor;
against the increase, Aldermen Lud =
wig, McGaryey. Calnan and Robinson.
The mayor in casting the deciding
vote. explained it by saying that he
did not believe in prosecuting certain
industries where efforts were made to
appear as being dealers in traffic un-
warranted by law He thought a IL
cense OF 800 was sufficient and for
that reason he voted with those op-
posed to the increase.
In this connection Alderman Robin
son announced that the next meeting
of council he would introduce an ordi-
nance compelling near-beer saloons tc
use screens. He thought this was nee
essary for the moral aspect Of the sit;
uation.
