George Raft of South Bend, and Mayor

holders in the Gary and Interurban
and the New Chicago Air line passed
through Gary last night on their way
back from the town board meeting
at Tolleston, and incidentally dropped
into THE TIMES office to tell of their
plans for the Improvement of the Gary

line. Mr.. RAN also signed up a con-
tract with w. A. F. Parry, the local
brickman for the brick to be used in
the pavement of Broadway.
The material for the foundation for
the brick work is now lying In cars

and the work will be started this week

the brick. unless some unforsen diff

certain that the new process would b,

In regard to the plans for the All

have the line completed to Gary b,
June and that it would then be pushed
straight to Hammond.
The fact that we did not secure

At the convention at which the
democrats were to select a prosecuting

law which permits a man to have his
name placed upon the ticket of any
party when there have been no nomi-

1t was a frigid reception that the am
bilious Whiting boy received when he
appeared before the county commits
sioners and asked to have his name put
on the democratic ticket.
| The democrats realized that it would
cost them many votes because of the
necessity for scratching the ticket that
would result. and the republicans did
not like it because Charles Greenwald

SHORT BOARD MEETING
Gary Town Fathers Will
Hold a Special Session
This Week.

The Gary town board met for their
regular weekly session yesterday aft
ernoon, but nothing of special import
ance come up before the meeting. Ow-
ing to the fact that President Knots
was on the reception committee for
the Marshall meeting, the members
soon disposed of the business on hand
in a short time.
Attorney Call, representing the Chi
cago, Lake Shore and Eastern rail-
road asked the board for a franchise
permitting them to cross the Clark
road with several switches. The re-
quest was granted by the board.
President Knots said that owing tc
special business that would come ur
before the next regular meeting next
Tuesday a special session of the board
would be held later on in the week.

SAVE THE PIGS TO BUY WIVES.
One Reason Why Cannbaism Flour
ishes in the New Hebrides.

The New Hebrides are still popu-
lated by hordes of man-killing and
man-eating savages, precisely as they
were in the days of Cook.
Owing to international jealousy, mis-
sionary enterprise has been able to
accomplish little or nothing on the ma
iority of the islands Indeed, the in
teriors of most of them remain
to this day unexplored and the tribes
men there have never seen a white
face.
Nevertheless they all own firearms,
which they have obtained from the
coast jewellers, and labor-recruiting
vessels. With these they go gun
ming for one another in order to re
plenish their larders, for they are can
nibals to man.
Not cannibals occasionally, and
through stress of circumstance, as
are some of the Central African ne
groes. The New Rebridean native
eats human flesh habitually because
he likes 1t, and because it costs moth
ing and is easily procurable.
This is shown by the fact that al
though pigs abound on most of the
islands, they are rarely killed fol
food. Such proceeding would be re
/ garded as sinful extravaganza. 20
pigs constitute the currency Of the
country, and can be exchanged for to
J bacco and beads; or for wives, th'
greatest of all Injuries.
For 20 pigs one can buy a reall!
good-looking girl-wife, who will de
light her lord and master in her youth
and slave for him from daylight t
/ dark in the yam plantations when sh
gets past her prime.

THE CASE IS DELAYED.

The case in which Gallagher and
Williams of Gary are seeking to en-
join the officials and men of the build
ing trades council of Hammond from
interfering with their hiring of men,
will come up in Judge Virgil s. Reit-
er's court this afternoon.
LeGrand T. Meyer, the attorney for
plaintiffs, went hunting this morning.
and as the court is busy with the case
of Follmar VS.. the Hammond. Whit
ing and East Chicago Street Railway
company, it is possible that the hear
ing of the case may be delayed until
late in the day.
Attorney Charles Greenwald will ap-
pear for the union men and is conf
dent that he can show that Gallagher
and Williams have no grounds upon
which an Injunction is necessary.

Charles Wheeler, of Chicago Inter
Ocean, Sizes Up the Political
Situation in Gary.

Another political writer has been to
Gary to size up the political situation
there Charles N Wheeler, the Inter
Ocean expert, says:
But what of Gary? The republican
campaign managers in Indiana have
been unable to get a poll of the new
citizens at Gary Indiana Harbor. and
the smaller towns that have sprung up
from the sand dunes since 1904, Even
the steel companys officials at Gary
have met with the same failure. The
men will not talk. That characteristic
is true of the poll among the labor
forces all over the state. 8
From what could be gathered from
two of the union men at Gary in a
confidential talk, however, it appears
that the new laborers in Lake county
are not going TO go over to Bryan in
any large numbers. The reason for
this is quite obvious. Here is a $780,

less effectively. the story has got to
these men that the election of Mr.. Taft
means the speedy completion of the
plant with good wages for an army OF
men for all time. The story has also
got to them that the election of Mr.
Bryan will throw pail of uncertainty
over everything. that the further prog
ress OF the plant may await settled
policy of some sort or another at Wash.
ington, that the future will be all un-
certainty and no one can predict wha'
might happen.
One Union Mans Views.
.One of the better paid union mer
at Gary, said, after we got him angry
(for that was the only way we coult
get him to TALK:
do you think we are a lot of sheer
to let Sam Gompers deliver us to any
candidate for anything? We are no
mixing up in politics. We don't care
who's the next president just SO We
get a square deal. The union move
ment has no place in politics. We are
stronger and more effective to escheV
politics and make the old parties Civ,

And yet when Mr.. Taft recent.
