GARY REAL ESTATE
DEAL Err IS ARRESTED
Bella Valdez Charged With
Being Fugitive From
Hungarian Justice.
SAID TO HAVE FORGED NOTE
Recently Dissolved Partnership With
G. W. Rose and Robert
Crosz.

Real estate men were shocked yes
terday to learn of the arrest of Bella
Valdez, one of the best known real
estate men in Gary, On charge of
forgery Mr. Walder has been one of
the most successful operators among
the numerous foreigners who have been
handling Gary real estate in the city.
For some time he has been associated
with c. W. Rose and Robert Orosz &
Co, but their affiliations have been dis
solved recently and Valdez was on the
market alone. Valdez has large num-
Der of friends who will be dumbfounded
to learn of his arrest.
In response to a demand from the
Austro- Hungarian monarchy, through
its consular representatives, Bella Wald-
er. who has ben doing a prosperous
real estate business in Gary. is under
arrest charged with forging bills of ex-
change and promissory notes.
1t is alleged in the foreign papers
telling of the fight of Valdez that he
strengthened the fictitious paper with
the forged signature of his rich uncle,
A. N. walder, the village banker at
Scekscard, Hungary.
Young Walder fed three years ago

For over a year the Walders have
lived very quietly in a $50 top fiat at
3131 Groveland avenue. Chicago. VALID
er could afford much finer quarters, as
since he has ben advertising Gary
realty money has poured in upon him
for investment.
Mrs Valdez says that the $4,000
was no more than a loan from his
uncle and that she and her husband
had been denying themselves all lux
uries to save the money to pay back
the sums borrowed.
One of the pathetic scenes yesterday
was the meeting between Valdez and
his pretty wife. She managed to get
into the same room with him in the
office of the United States marshal. She
threw herself into her husbands arms
and with tears streaming down her
face, cried:
1T is an outrage; is there no justice
in this country?'
Alexander D. Nuber, the Hungarian
Consul in Chicago, saw the Valdez ad-
vertisements and was struck with the
names. Circulars had reached him
describing the fugitive. Detectives in

suspicious of the consul learning that

RETURN
WITH MANY TALES
Gary Sports Who Spent Two
Weeks in Wisconsin,
Back Home.
SAY LARGEST ONES ESCAPE
They Meet Several Celebrities in the
Woods and Swamps Yarns
With Them.

The jolly party of Gary fishermen,
to the northern waters of Wisconsin,
have returned, a merry sun burned
looking lot, who from all appearances
and the animated story of the trip,
must have had the time of their lives.
Attorney H. F. McCracken and Geo.
IO'Donnell, proprietor of the Gary hotel.
returned to Gary today. while Captain
H. s. Norton and Attorney George
Manloce remained in Chicago where
they attended to business matters.
Went to MacI<inac Island.
The trip which took two weeks was
the finest that could be planned. The
party left Chicago at 800 o'clock two
weeks ago Saturday and went direct
to Mackinac Island. Here they spent
two days seeing the famous summer
resort and then left on the steamer
Juanita for Houghton, Mich. From this
city they went to Saxon on the Duluth
and South Shore railroad and from that
place on the Northwestern to a point
in northern Wisconsin. Here the party
travelled for over fifteen miles by stage
to the Turtle and Flambo rivers which
connect with a chain of lakes in that
vicinity. The real sport then began and
the tales told of the heavyweight mus
caIong landed by various members of
the party would make an amateur sport
feel sick.
Several of the fish have been shipped
back to Gary and will be tasted upon
by neighbors as soon as they arrive.
Probably the biggest fish that's was
hooked, was that by George O'Donnel
which he didn't land. George blames
it on Attorney Manlove, who he SAYS
dropped the fish back into the water
from the landing net after he had pull
ed it up TO the boat. Both Mr.. O'Don-
mel and H. F. McCracken lost their poles
while hooking several big ones.
Meet Celebrities.
The party were accompanied by
guides from the time they left the
stage coach until their journey was
completed. Camps were strung along
the river and at vagious points the par
ties would stop for the night. They
met several celebrities while in the
back woods, a number of them being
well known Chicagoans. Among them
were, win ]. Davis, Addison C. Thomas

Republican Prosperity.

The farmers of tue South have
been told that the election Of Mr..
Bryan did not spell prosperity for
them, but that the election Of Mr..
Taft did. Taft has not yet been
inducted into Office, but the kind Of
prosperity that the Republican party
has been bringing to the farmers for
the last 20 or 80 years is on its way.
The announcement has been made
Of the formation of a seventy-five
million dollar fertilizer trust, which
will take in all the independent COM
panies now operating in this country
and Europe. This is sign Of the
business activities and enterprises
that waited on the election Of Mr..
Taft to the Presidency. Had Bryan
been elected this gigantic combina-
tion against the farmers never would
have been formed. AS soon as this
advance agent of Republican pros
perity gets we'll under way our FARM
ers can make up their minds TO pay
higher prices for their fertilizers,
which is brand of prosperity that
they will not relish. The Republican
party is the originator and protector
of trusts and monopolies, and under
Taft. as under a. Republican Presi-
dents, they will have. full and un-
checked swing. The farmers have
been selected as the first victims Of
the new era of Republican prosper
ity under the Taft regime but they
will not be the last

Martin Luther.

November 10 was the four hum
dred and twenty-fifth anniversary of
the birth of Martin Luther, one of
the greatest men when results are
considered that ever lived in the
world. The great event was duly
celebrated by the great church he
established, and should have been
celebrated by every Protestant church
in the world. as they all owe their
hxistance to the bravery Of this
great man. Martin Luther was born
November 10. 1888, of humble par
entage, and became one OF, the great
men Of all time because of the ef-
feet the reformation, of which he
was the father, had upon the nations
of the earth. He was learned man
as well as a man of, action.
AS we said above, Martin Luther,
was the founder of the Protestant
church, although of the. various SUBJ
divisions into which these protes-
tants against the mother church
were split the Lutherans now form
only one branch. The adherents of
the Lutheran faith throughout the
world number about 100000, of
which only about one half, however,
bear the name of Lutheran, the oth-
er half being known by various other
names. 1t was Luther's desire to
have his religious followers called
Evangelical. and by this name the
church he founded is called official
ly in his native country.
In the United States the various
Lutheran bodies comprise about p
100000 communicates, and have a.
900 churches. In every country Of
the world they are represented. and
in all these churches and church
communities Luther's birthday is OBJ
served in honor of the founder Of this
church. The life of Luther is worth
studying by every young man. 1t
would inspire them to higher and
grander things. He determined TO
do great work and did it regard
less of what it cost him.

Three Times a Week.

On and after January 1 The Times

times a week instead of twice as at
present. This will give our sub
scribers a paper every other day in

rles the mail daily right to the door

price we charge for the twice aweek
paper, $3.50 per annum. This will
be less than one cent per copy, as a

How 1t Got Here.

The rumor that the prosperity that
was to come if Bryan was defeated
and Taft elected had arrived is now
most positively and emphatically con-
med by Mr. E. c. Simmons, presi-
dsnt of the National Prosperity AS
ISOLATION. The Charleston Evening
Post says: I'Mr. Simmsons ought TO
know because, according to his an
nouncement, he personally conducted
prosperity back I'd its deserte's
American haunts. Mr.. Simmons says
the association made change IN
public sentiment toward the rail-
roads, especially in the South and
Southwest, and indeed President
Roosevelt to stop bis flood of messag-
es 10 Congress and other things hav-
ing the appearance of being an at
tack upon railroads or other large
corporations. The tSandard Oil
Company will doubtless be glad to
hear this latter news. Muck rakers,
says Mr.. Simmons, have ceased to
show their heads; demagogues have
quit talking, and a very healthy state
of mind prevails toward these in
dustries; whereas previously to our
work was a vicious antagonism
clearly evident among the masses Of
the people, most of whom held their
views or opinions without giving the
subject proper thought Mr.. Sim
mons says the work of the associa-
tom is completed. Indeed, says the
Post, since it seems to have brought
the millennium, not only its work but
all work must be completed.

Hearst Called on Roosevelt.

T.
While in Washington the other
evening William Randolph Hearst
called on President Roosevelt at
the White House. What Mr.. Hearst
said to Mr.. Roosevelt and what Mr..
Roosevelt said to Mr.. Hearst are not
matters Of record, but says the
Charleston Post, it is not hard to
guess that there was some nice per-
silage between these two managers
of things political and an exchange
of felicitations at the result of the
recent election, in which Mr.. Roose-
velt's candidate was successful IN
some measure by reason of Mr..
Hearst's activity against his oppo-
nent.
Hearst seems to have short
memory. Only two years ago the
Hon. Elthu Root, extended the Presi-
dents compliments ~ Mr.. Hearst.
who was then candidate for Gov
ernor Of New York as the nominee
of the Democratic party in that State.
On the first of November at Utica,
Mr.. Root delivered an address III
advocacy Of Mr.. Hughes candidacy
against Mr.. Hearst, in which he
literally burnt up the yellow rene
gade. In that speech Mr.. Root said:
President Roosevelt and Mr..
Hearst stand as far as the poles
asunder. Listen to what Presi-
dent Roosevelt himself has said
of Mr.. Hearst and his kind. In
President Roosevelt's first mes
sage to Congress-, in speaking Of
the assassin of Mckinley he spoke
of him as inflamed BY the reckless
utterances of those who on the
stump and in the public press
appeal to the dark and evil spir-
it's of malice and greed, envy and
sullen hatred. The wind is sowed
by the men who preach such doc
trines, and they can not escape
their share of responsibility for
the whi'rlwind that is reaped.
This applies alike to the delibe-
rate demagogue, to the exploiter
OF sensationalism, and to the
crude and foolish visionary who
for whatever reason apologies
for crime or excites aimless dis
content
Mr.. Root went on to say he said
the above by the authority Of Presl-
dent Roosevelt, who wished it to be
distinctly understood that in penn
ing these words, with the horror OF
President McKinley's murder fresh
before him, he had Mr.. Hearst
specifically in mind. MIR. Root rub
bed it in by going on to say by the
authority of Mr. Roosevelt that what
he thought of Mr.. Hearst then, ne
thinks of Mr.. Hearst now. The plain
English of this is that President
Roosevelt accused Hearst of being
indirectly the murderer Of President
Mckinley.
This was pretty heavy on the yer
low renegade. but we think he de-
served it.
Hearst, in calling on Roosevelt, Is
disposed to overlook the insult Of
fered him by the President two years
ago, but it is there all the same.
No doubt he called to receive Rose
veit's thanks for the part he played
in the late Presidential campaign.
While Roosevelt may have thanked
him, we will wager something hand
some that he holds Hearst in greater
contempt than ever before. Hearst
has strutted his little brief hour oa
the stage of human action, and fro1a
now on he will be the laughing stock
of the country. In the late campaign
he crawled out of the small end of
the horn and he will never be able
to live down his disreptable acts.
