that the republicans have no been the
friends of labor. After naming all of
the legislation which has been passed
by congress in the interests of labor he
said that in the democratic states where
the democrats have undisputed control
there are the most abominable laws af-
fecting labor that could be imagined
Crumpacker Opposed Act.
Speaking of the past activity of Com
pers against him, Mr.. Crumpacker said
it was due to the fact that when the
first employers liability act was passed
he believed 1t TO be unconstitutional and
opposed it for that reason Gompers
was angry and made every effort to
defeat the Tenth district man.
The bill was passed In spite OF the
opposition of Crumpacker. and sure
enough it was declared unconstitu-
tional by the supreme court and it was
necessary for congress to enact the bill
which Crumpacker wanted, at the re-
cent session of congress.
Mr.. Crumpacker touched on many
other subjects and became so en-
crossed in his speech that he was com
PEELED to run to catch his train. How
ever, his hearers gave him a rousing
nine rahs as he ran out of the door and

Republican club came to q close

minutes. Temporary Secretary Charles
Surprise responded to this order. The
G. o. p quartette, consisting of Peter
Riply, Fred Geib, George Stevens and
William Hastings, sang two parodies
which brought down the house.
Singing Makes a Hit.
The singing and the songs made a
hit, and If they had had repertoire of
a dozen parodies the chances are that
they would have been compelled to
sing every one of them before the
meeting could have continued.
The constitution and bylaws were
then adopted in their entirety and
without amendment. The names of
John w. Mortland Roscoe E Woods.
Harvey Godfrey. Carl Ames ard Will
Hastings were presented.
Harvey Godfrey. Will Hastings and
Carl Ames each withdrew from the race
leaving John w Mortland and Roscoe
E. Woods as the remaining candidates
When the tellers counted the ballot it
was discovered that Mr. Woods had
been elected by a substantial majority.
Preceding the announcement of the
vote it was moved that the candidate
receiving the next largest number of
votes be declared elected to the office
of vice president.
The nominations were then received
for the Office OF second vice president
and the names of r. E. CARRIER. George
Stevens, Frank Brown and Victor Dyer
were presented. A ballot was taken
and although the votes were pretty
evenly divided among the candidates.
George Stevens had a majority and was
declared elected.
Ripiey's Election Unanimous.
The name of Peter Ripley was then
proposed for the office of secretary and
the motion was made that the nominal
tons be closed. Mr.. Ripley was elected
with a shout and took his place at the
secretarys table.
W. J. Hastings was unanimously
elected treasurer OF the club and the
approval of the members over his Sc
lection was shown by the round OF ap-
plause which greeted the announce
ment of his election.

Office OF assistant secretary. followed

thusism was manifested by the crowd
Following the elections. President
Woods introduced Congress E. D. Crum-
packer, who expressed himself as great

was shown and prophesied success fol-
the party as a result.
| Mr.. Crumpackers speech was one o.
the best political arguments which ha:
ever been heard in this city. He touched
on nearly every attack the democratic
party has made on the republican par
| ty far.
| Speaking OF Mr.. Gompers, he sait
he was the president Of one of tn,
magnificent organizations in America
| but according to the morning papers h,
saw that this organization was alread,
questioning his right to decide thei
politics for them no matter how esti
mable a man their president might be
Gompers Not Republicans.
He challenged Gomper's statemen
that ne had been a republican and ha,
now become a democrat because labo
did not get all 1t wanted at the Chicag
convention.
He produced a speech which Nj
Gompers made at Lafayette two year
ago in which the president Of the Amer

Visit to Hobart.
Yesterday, however, this brother-in-
law accompanied Charles Nelson to
Hobart, where both had business.
Both returned in the evening and it
did not appear in the trial that either
of the two carried a load home from
Hobart Nevertheless. when Nelson
stepped into Mrs. OConnor's store In
the evening. something was said about
taking the brother-in-law to Hobart,
and there the trouble started.
Mrs. O'Connor said, You did" and
Nelson said, Il didn't" and Mrs. O'Con-
nor said, You did" and Nelson again
said. Il didn't" until Mrs OConnor
thought he had said enough to pro-

Marshal KIopf Gets Busy.
It was at this point that the town
marshal. Edward Klopf, got mighty
busy. 1t was his duty to summon the
Jury. and he brought in all of the
thirty men he could find before twelve
men who were not yet acquainted with
the case and had not formed an
opinion.
The Grind Begins.
Then the grind began. Clarence
Bretsch, deputy prosecutor from Gary,
put the screws to Nelson and Attor-
ney George Bardon used the legal
jimmy and wrench to pry them off
again. And so the trial continued dur
ing the awful storm and into the night.
The time for the closing arguments
arrived and Attorney Bretsch used up
fifty minutes to show up Nelson, and
then Attorney Bardon began the long
est legal argument that was ever de-
| lievered within the precincts of Miller
| Station. He spoke for one hour and
ten minutes, defending and eulogizing
| his client and denouncing the plaintiff.
| Miller had never heard the like and it

The jury remained out for forty

CHILDREN ARE The VICTIMS
Property Owners Will demonstrate
to City Council, Asking to De-
clare it a Nuisance.

The residents of Calumet Heights are
protesting against the garbage dumps
which are situated al Ninety fifth
street, extending from Kingston to
Paxton avenues. The i'll smelling garb-
age, which is a haven for the worst
and most dangerous germs makes that
section of the Eighth ward look like
some sections of the stock yards. When
the wind blows from the south the
odor of the stagnated waste can be
smelled in all sections of the ward
Many cases of illness have been traced
to this garbage dump and it would be a
great relief if it was abandoned, &C
cording to the Calumet Heights resi-
dents. All vegetables and fruits that
are condemned by the food inspectors
on South Water street are sent out to
the local dumping grounds where they
are dumped.
Dump for Spoiled Fruits.
When these carloads of fruits and
vegetables are dumped, hundred of
children swarm there in an effort to
find some piece of fruit that is not
all decayed. these in many cases, the
children will eat, telling their parents
they purchased it at the fruit stores or

suit in several instances is that those
who partook of the condemned fruit
have been taken sick and several cases
came near ending in death.
| Recently a carload of watermelons
was condemned by the inspectors al
South Water street and accordingly
was sent to the Calumet Heights dump
ing grounds where the fruit was thrown
to decay. Children seeing the melons
| lying in the dump secured some of the

where they were served to the families

Telephone Numbers Changed.

Is your telephone number in the one
thousands? If it is the number will be
changed to five thousand. This is the
substance of the latest change in num-
bers at the South Chicago exchange.
If your telephone number now is
1894 it vol be 1924. The change in
numbers is causing the operators no
little trouble as we'll as the patrons.
The change came about through the
large increase in the number Of sub
scribers on the local system.
