their senator's and representatives to
vote for Kern at the caucus. Reports
of this character have been coming in
for weeks
Now some of the members from those
counties prefer some other candidate.
But what can they do? They. are
bound by these instructions and are in
honor bound to carry them out.
II shall vote for Kern said one
member of the house, whose county is
not far from Marion county. because
I know my constituents wish me to
vote that way. But If I had my way
about 1t would vote for Slack"
It will be interesting to watch these
members and see how long they stick
to Kern and where they go If they
leave him at any time during the fight.
1t is seen that Kern is profting from
the instructions given by the democrat
lie committees and clubs throughout the
state. 1t also proves that he is the
real choice of the rank and file of the
party. even If he is not the choice of
all of the politicians. This is what
gives him the lead in the fight that he
has now. It proves, too. that If he is
not elected United States senator there
will be some members of the legisla-
ture who will have some unpleasant

BOOZE HIS DOWNFALL


Frank Parker, a rear-end brakeman
on a Nickel Plate local freight, will
have to pay fine of $22 and go to the
county jail for a period of thirty days
as a result OF his unquenchable thirst
for whiskey. Not only that but he
will very likely lose his position with
the railroad company and will not have
very good recommendations to get an
other unless he turns over a new leaf.
Parker had an opportunity to steal
a case of whiskey from a car. He
did not resist the temptation. He took
the whiskey to the caboose of his
freight train and started to taking a
freight car was pulled off a siding and
added to the train.
By the time he arrived in Hobart
he was in a comatose state. He was
taken off the train and sent to this
city. In the meantime the case of
whiskey was found to be missing and
the fact that the booze in the caboose
was the stolen article was established
by the numbers on the bottles. There
was preliminary hearing a few days
ago and Parker, who lives in 236 Indi-
ana avenue, was sentenced this morn
ing.

CONDUCTOR ATTACKED
Daniel Peters Ill Used by
Toughs on Short
Line Car.

Conductor Daniel Peters, who lives
in Hammond and is employed as a con-
ductor on one of the short line cars
Of the South Chicago City Railway
company was the center of a rough
and-tumble fight when he was attacked
by John and Frank Genege at Sixty
third street and Madison avenue last
evening
Men, women and children fled in a
panic from the car when John and
Frank Genege, brothers, of 5032 Paul
ina street, attacked the conductor. The
brothers, according to the conductor,
after being asleep on the car fifteen
minutes, awoke and demanded 40 cents
change for the half dollar given for
farces. Peters said he had given the
change, the lie was passed and the fight
began as other passengers fled from the
car John Genege was arrested for
mayham, it being charged he chewed
the conductors finger, and his brother
was booked for disorderly conduct.

TAKE NO STOCK
IN new STORY
Street Railway Co. Official
Laughs at Recruiting of
Fl. w. & E. G. Lines.

The story has been going the rounds
to the effect that the A. L. Drum COM
pany. which has the management of
the lines of the South Chicago City
Railway company and the Hammond,
Whiting and East Chicago Street Rail-
way company, has in contemplation a
plan for re-routing the lines which en-
ter Indiana
The rumor was that the short line
cars would leave Sixty-third street and
would run through the Standard Steel
Car company's plant and that the cars
which leave Sixty third street and run
Via Whiting to East Chicago would
run through to Hammond and make
the corners Of State and Holman
streets the terminal.
This plan probably originated in the
brain of some stick whittier, as Man
ager Green, was asked if such a plan
was contemplated and denied en-
phatically that 1T was. He said that
the plan would not be feasible in the
first place. 1t was also rumored that
the motormen, conductors and the en-
ployes of the local barns would be
compelled to live in Burnside, but that
suggestion was also secuted

OBJECTS TO TREATMENT

Alex. Korpon has a grievance against
the Chicago, Lake Shore & South Bend
Railway company. If he is able to prove
his allegations against the company
there is no question that he will be
awarded part of the $1,000 damages,
for which he is suing and, perhaps,
the 5000 for doctors fees.
1t happened that the car in which
Korpon was riding was threatened
with destruction by a Pennsylvania
passenger train and the passengers left
the car so suddenly that Korpon was
projected out of window.
The complaint goes on to state that
as result of the accident the plaintiff
was bruised and injured and will be
injured for life. According to the COM
plant Korpon took the street car at
Hammond and was on his way to Chi
cage when the car was crossing the
Wabash and Pennsylvania railroad
tracks.
Just as the car got across the tracks
a passenger train was seen to be ap-
preaching near and the passengers
were warned to leave the car In the
scramble, which followed, Korpon was
forced through window and was in
jured in that manner.

He says that for the next century
you will not be able to persuade the
people that the territory north of the
river is SOUTH North Hammond and
South Hammond would naturally be To-
Gated by a natural geographical or
typographical divisional. In precisely
the same manner the state line is the
natural north and south divisional. In
the minds of most of the people west
will always suggest west of the state

Mr.. Lynch went on to show that great
confusion would be caused for years to
come by any radical change In the sys-
tenn of numbering. He says that even

trouble and there are letters being re-
ceived today addressed to certain num-
bers on Ives street. which was formerly
