RAYMOND SAYS
INDIANA IS IN DOUBT
Finds That Chances Are
Favorable to Taft and
on Governorship.
LAYS THE BLAME ON HANLy
Says That Kern's Personality Gives
a Peculiar Tinge to the
Situation.
fBy Raymond.)

Indianapolis, Ind, Oct. II. From a
time dating back to the Chicago con-
vention l have heard that Indiana was
queer" in regard to it's national poll
tics. That characterization is as true
today as it was then.
Yet l am inclined to the belief Taft
will carry the state by something more
than $4,000 majority, but that the state
ticket and the majority in the legisla-
ture are both still questions to be de-
cided by the election itself. Indiana
always has been considered a doubtful
state. Even in 1896, when it came out
strongly for Mckinley as against Bry-
an. there was considerable misinforma-
ton as to how the state would go.
Thinks 1t is ChangeabIe.
Apparently it is a commonwealth
which changes its opinion with con-
siderable facility. That is to say, it
is one of the states which are always
good ground for campaign of educa
ton. The people of Indiana are I'M
usually intelligent and inevitably log
zeal. They study political question
as they do anything else-from their
high intellectual standard-and they
reach their conclusions accordingly.
Everybody knows that in 1896 if an
election had been held on the first day
of September, Bryan would have re-
ceived the electoral vote of Indiana.
AS it was, the discussion of the fnan-
cial question was conducted up to a
point where the triumph of the re-
publicans was inevitable. and Mckinley
/ carried with a comfortable majority a
state which had see-sawed from repub-
| licanism to democracy with almost ev-
! cry national election.
/ Likely to Happen This Year.
The same thing is likely to prove
true now Taft is gaining, and the
present indications are he will carry
/ the state. The plurality l have men
! toned is a, minimum one, and in view
of the lively campaign which is be-
| ing carried on in the state the figures
are liable to be increased rather thar
diminished.
From a purely national standpoint
! involving the issues between the two
parties. there never has ben any ques-
| tion as to the result in Indiana.
For the last dozen years Indiana ha

Gary Land Company Issues
an Edict for Shack
Owners.
LAST VEsTIGES OF OLD TOWN
Falkenau Construction Camp Is the
First Building in Gary To
Be Torn Down.

The Gary Land company has just is
sued an edict which requires all "squat-
ters'' nad the owners of shacks to move
on fror. the properties inc hr<t sub
division before the seventeenth of this
month.
The first edict of the kind resulted
In the cleaning out of the numerous
shacks which were built in the early
days along the banks of the Calumet
river.
Since this proclamation went out the
primitive houses which once lined what
was known as Euclid avenue and Pros
pect avenue and made the town look
like a mining camp have been removed
But since the city has been built up
with more substantial buildings the
shacks not only make the city look
untidy but they endanger the more ex-
pensive buildings in case fire should
start in any one of them.
One of the old landmarks in Gary
which will be removed is the camp of
the Falkenau Construction company
which was the first building to be
| erected on the site of the new steel city.
Gary's Fort Dearborn.
The building Of the Falkenau Con-
struction company was the Fort Dear
born of Gary and had almost equal
significance for it was this camp that
| tipif1ed the modern method of city
building as compared with the methods
of the early days.
AS a result of the decision of the
Gary Land company to have all of the
shacks in the city removed it will be
necessary for scores of families to move
to other parts of the city of have
Since the Falkenau Construction com
pany's camps were built there has beer
a marvellous transformation in the city
which has been built up around it
| ShacKs have been replaced by massive
and bautiful piles Of brick and ston,
and Gary has already taken its plac.

1t is estimated that the value of tn.

He predicted serious conditions with
in few years unless some method Of
taking care of the sewage of the Calu-
met district is found
Canal Near It's Limit.
Colonel w H. Bixby of the United
states corps of engineers also wrote
a letter to the district committee, in
which he urges partial publication OF
all sewage emptied into the river or the
canal He is of the opinion that the
sanitary canal has about reached the
limit of its usefulness, unless purif-
cation of sewage is adopted. DR.. John
Lederer, chemist of the sanitary dis
trict. added his word of warning
The committee of the district deferred
action. but members predicted that a
broad gauge plan in which the city, the
sanitary district and the federal gov
eminent will cooperate will be adopted.
DR. Biehn in his letter says: Soon
after the opening of the drainage canal
the water was reported over s6 per
cent safe. meteorological findings
within twelve months after the opening
of the drainage canal showed an av-
erage of about $50 bacteria per cubic
centimeter (about fifteen drops), and no
pathogenic organisms. Before the
opening of the drainage canal the wa
ter averaged usually over 1000 bac-
terra per cubic centimeter. with occa-
sional colon bacilli. Since 1904 the wa
ter has gradually showed evidence of
Increasing pollution. While this pol
luton has not been enough to render
the water unsafe-and, therefore, the
water was reported safe-we find that
the bacterial count has gradually in
creased from a few hundred until it
is at the present date very near 1900
per cubic centimeter. The actual fig
res as to the number of bacteria and
their kind show that the water is be-
coming progressively worse, but it is
still safe for domestic use. Therefore
the percentage safe is no criterion as
to the effect of this pollution, because
although this pollution is occurring
it is not sufficient as yet to render the
water unsafe. but in my opinion it will
before very long render the water un.
safe"
Says Something Must BE Done.
In the remainder of his communica
ton DR. Biehn asserts that something
must be done Immediately to divert tn,
sewage of the Evanston and Calume
districts or the good results obtained
by diverting the sewage of. the mali
portion of the canal etaoiRDLUUao
portion of Chicago through the drain
age canal will be nullified and we vii
again have polluted supply"
The water has not been up to stand
ard for some time, although it has beel
safe" said DR. Evans. During tn
year we have found more colon bacill
than heretofore, and We have watches
! the tests with anxiety, but would b
greatly surprised to find that the wa
| ter is almost as bad as before the cana
was dug. Before the canal was bull

ten months this year it will be dow

ever been in Chicago.

TO FORM NEW PARTY.
Heart to Enter National Campaign
With a New Political Party.

The final determination of William
R. Hearst TO form new political
party and enter the national cam
paign Of the present year means a
great deal to William Jennings
Bryan, says Washington dispatch
OF Feb. 2s. Il probably removes
the last possible hope of Bryan's
friends, and makes sure the election
of whatever candidate the repnbli
cans may place in the field. This,
al any rate, is the feeling hat pre-
walls among men here in Washing
ton, where Hearst is known, and
where his strength in certain quar-
ters is fully appreciated.
II is true that Hearst, as the pres
Iideilssas candidate of an independent
party, would stand lie chance Of
election; 1t Is also true that az ali
independent candidate he would
draw votes from both the republican
and democratic candidates. but the
greae halk of his support would
come from voters who, IN the event
there was but two tickets IN the
field, would support Bryan al
against the republican nominee,
Because of the drain on the demo
cratic vote, Hearst will prove ser
ious stumbling block in the path o
Bryan, if he is nominated by ih'
democrats-and there is no longe
any doubt that be will be the unan
lmous choice of the Denver conven
ton.

bitterly opposed to the proposition,
as at present they are permitted TO
run trains carrying stock as they
please, with no regard to the shrink

the cruelty the long delayed trips

in weight is estimated TO amount TO

Asylum Attendant Discharged.

Several papers in the southern
part of the state have lately been
qkicking up an awful fuss" about
the alleged i'll treatment Of patients
at the Blackfoot insane asylum. It.
all started over the mlstreatment of
an insane Indian boy by an asylum
attendant who went TO Mountain
Home after the patient. As soon
as he could leave the asylum, after
learning of the mlstrcatment, Super.
intendent Hoover went 10 Mountain
Home to investigate the charges
and ascertained the true facts in the
case. From evidence obtained there
the doctor was satisfied that the at
iendanf had used unnecessary
violence in handling the Indian.
Upon returning TO Blackfoot the
doctor Immediately discharged ths
attendant who had been connected
with the asylum but short tim'
and the Mountain Home trip wa
the frst one he had made after
patient.
