Insurgents HAVE
BEGUN FIGHT
ON RULES
Caucus Selects Committee to
Propose Changes
JUNGLE JOE" IS ALL RIGHT
Congressman Hepburn, Who Presided,
Said There Was no Opposition to
Speaker Cannon.

Washington, Dec. 12.-The fight
for a revision of the rules of the
House Of Representatives was inau.
gurated last night at a meeting OF the
so-called insurgents" attended by
twenty-five Republican representa-.
tiyes. Representative Hepburn Of
Iowa presided and was authorized to
name a committee Of FIVE, with him
self as chairman to draft the proposed
amendments to the rules and report
to the organization on Tuesday night.
Those interested in the movement
have been proceeding quietly with
their plans, with the apparent pur-
pose of Increasing their numbers suf-
fciently to be able to conrtol the stu.
alton by joining the Democrats in
fight on the rules. The insurgents"
claim that in the present Congress
they need but 20 Republicans to join
the Democrats in order to bring about
change in the rules. while in the
Sixty-frst Congress they say they will
need but "a Republican members.
While several of those present at
the "lnsurgent" meeting are for Can
non for speaker, they made it plain
that they greatly desire a change In
the rules. There were no expressions
except those OF friendly feeling for
the speaker, said Mr.. Hepburn after
the meeting NO one says any thing
against Mr. Common" He said the
general feeling was that II under the
rules the House must have a despotic
leader, there was no one they would
rather have than Uncle Joe"
To Increase the membership of the
rules committee Of the House has been
the most popular suggestion and in
this connection it has been proposed
TO have this committee elected by the
members Of the House, instead Of be.
ing named by the speaker. The cleo
lion in like manner OF a committee on
committees. to perform duties similar
to a similar body in the Senate. also
has been proposed by leaders in the
movement, Another plan proposed is
to set two Thursdays apart each
month for the consideration Of bills on
the House calendar. and the remain
ing Thursdays for the consideration OF
measures on the union calendar.
None Of those at the meeting would
state whether 81 was intended tC
bring the matter TO an issue in the
present session OF Congress or to wait
until after the new Congress is con
vened.

mortgagor and mortgage share 'hc
tax proportionately. He then on
posed the amendment.
Mr.. Fish of Vergennes told OF what
he had learned Of the workings OF the
Massachusetts law, and vigorously OPP
posed the proposed amendments. Mr.
Blaisdell of Brldport moved to lay the
bill ON the table until Tuesday. The
motion was opposed by Mr. Hitchcock
of Pittsford and Mr. Williams Of New
port. Mr.. Brennan of Fairfield said
that he realized that he was here TO
represent the state of Vermont, and
that It this bill passed he wanted to
know If the two accompanying bills
would also pass. Mr.. Adams Of MARI
boro opposed the motion TO order to
lie and the House by an emphatic vote
killed the motion.

nous vote. Mr.. Davis Of Brighton

members extended every effort to make
the meeting under their auspices
grand success, and their labors bore
the desired fruit The committee
worked In harmony and every detail,
from the arranging of the decorations
to the introduction of the speakers of
the evening was worthy of the highest
communication. The parade, while not
as large a demonstration as could have
been desired, owing to the failure of
some of the delegations to show up in
time to participate. was excellently
managed, red lights. torches and ban
ners displaying to the public the cause
espoused by the assembled marchers.
Two bands, Barnie Young's Hammond
organization, and the Twin City band,
twelve pieces. under the leadership of
Nelson De Lors, furnished the music,
martial in character and inspiring as
well as decided, in rhythm.
Attorney Joseph A. Meade, president
of the local organization who is con-
sidered one of the most able young
| politicians in northern Indiana, intro
! duced the Hon. z. W. Mickey, who in a
i few words. eulogistic of the man, call
4 ed upon Senator Hendee, of Madison
county, to address the crowd. Senator
Hendee's remarks were well received.
and he was followed by William E.

/ kliver received an admirable demon
stration and fairly carried his audience
away by the force of his statements.

James Eli Watson, the man who has

full. For FIVE minutes. the $500 per-
sons packed into the hall, fairly rose
in their sets and echoed, and re-
echoed the name of Jim Watson
'Our JIM" throughout the hall. New
err was a candidate on any ticket giver
such an enthusiastic greeting as was

Chairman Schaaf was highly pleased
with the East Chicago meeting and
praised the members of the Young

terms for their activities. The results
of the rally may be summed up in the
mere statement that East Chicago's ma

CHURCH MEMBERS SORE
Congregationalists Assert
That They Were De-
frauded of Money.

The members of the Gary .Congrega-
tional church. according to the report
of a number of them, are indignant be-
cause of the action of the proprietor
of the Orphans Candy kitchen, John
Lincoln, who they claim virtually de-
frauded them of considerable money.
The trouble started over what the
members of the congregation assert
ed was promise by Lincoln to sup
ply them with candy at the benefit
performance given for them in the Ly-
ric theater. It is charged that he an
nounced at each of the plays that
candy would be sold at each of the per-
formances by girls which would pass
them among the audience, and that
the candy was donated by himself.
The girls disposed of about s27
worth and the candy man demanded
half of the receipts. This was turned
over to him by the girls, who wished
to avoid trouble. The men of the
congregation, however, have taken the
matter up, and may demand that the
money which he promised them be re.
turned.

The first game to be played by

Gary high school was a victory for the
local team with the husky aggregation
of East Chicago as the victims. Gary
proved the master of their adversaries
in every department of the game. In
the SECOND half the struggle was a
beautiful one and stirred the loyal
rooters into spasms of delight. The
score was II to s.
Nearly seventy-five rooters accom-
| panied the Gary team to see them
| play their first game. Colors and yells
| in profusion were prepared for the
| occasion. The Interurban car which
left Gary at 1 O'Clock in the afternoon
was crowded with one of the most en-
| thusiastic crowd of fans that has ever
invaded a city in Lake county.

HEARD BY RUBE.


All the republican live wires went
down to the county seat on Saturday
and among the other good things got
their fill of roast OK. Reminded them
somewhat of the celebration at Gary
some time ago when the first cargo
of ore steamed into the harbor.
Gary. among other things. is gaining
in notoriety having sent its first case
on assault and battery charge to the
superior court.
When it comes to doing things Gary
women can fight prairie fires just as
well as they can burglars.
It is almost to good to be true, said
Gary man this morning. that the
Gary and Interurban have started to
pave their right of way down Broad
way.
Evidence plainly showed that dur
ing his speech here Mr.. Gompers has
not got but a few of the Gary laboring
men eating out of his hand.
Don't allow pessimism to embitter
your life with the thought that winter
is here and that coal is going up. Re
member that Indian summer is not yet
over.
| From the present outlook, indica-
tions point to the fact that the build
| ing contractors will be kept busy until
long after the snow flies.
This year in Gary will be equipped
| with handsome and long line OF vot-
| ers.
Local merchants are putting the
light weights on the mothballs and

GARY TEAM IS BEATEN
Valparaiso Boys Certainly
Show Up Team Which
Had No Practice.

The Gary football team was defeated
by the Valparaiso team at Valparaiso
by the score of 80 to in a game that
was viewed by 500 people yesterday.
The Gary team attributes it's defeat
to the fact that it has not had enough
practice. The team is composed of ex-
college players and was considerably
heavier than the opposing team.
Nupnau of Gary was the referee, and
his decisions were considered fair in
light on the game is the fact that
Valparaiso made 20 of its 80 points in
the first half of the game.
ShackeIton Goes In.
Roy Shackelton went in the game in
the second half and held the oppos-
ing team to one touchdown. The sec
ond half was very interesting and the
Gary boys showed considerable i'm
provement under the leadership of the
well-known Purdue player.
Both teams worked the forward pass
with good results and the gains made
by this play We're important. Gary's
defense was poor and they were unable
to withstand the onslaughts Of the
Valparaiso boys.
The lack of training on the part of
the Gary players was shown by the
fact that three of them were knocked
out and had to be carried off the field
| The boys who were injured were the
| Gardner boys and H. Mcclure, the
| quarter back. The Gary team is
| scheduled to play Lowell next Sunday
| at Lowell and it is expected that the
steel city boys will be able to give q
better account of themselves by thai
! time.
