GOMPERS IS COMING
Will Speak in Gary Later In
October and in Other
Indiana Cities.

On account of the great change of
sentiment in favor of James E. Wat
son, which is apparent all over the
state. the democratic state committee
has thought best to have Samuel Comp
ers spend October 81. %. and % fol-
lowing him around and do his best to
counteract the effect of Mr.. Watson's
speeches.
Mr.. Gompers is scheduled to speak in
Gary on one of these dates, and the
democrats will make an effort to re-
claim this city, which is now generally
conceded to be republican by a large
majority.
Mr.. Gompers' campaign is one of de-
nunciation, but in view of the fact that
on several other occasions he has been
the right hand man of the democratic
party in this state and failed to de-
liver the goods. 1t is not thought that
his efforts in Lake county will be par
ticularly effective.
Laboring men look upon Mr.. Comp
ers as a democrat and they realize that
what he says TO them during a cam
paign Is coiored by his enthusiasm for
the democratic party.

ON RIVER ACCIDENT
Mother of O'Connell Broth

Leaving Their Work.
MISSED TRAIN IN STOR NJ
Young Men Were Bridge Carpenters
and Did Not Want to Leave
Their Mother.

1t was generally believed that the
o'Connell brothers. Stephen and James,
604 East Evenly street, and Jo-
seph Rowan, 65S Seventy street,
Parkside, were on a pleasure trip when
the capsizing of The launch in the Cal
umet river a week ago yesterday
caused them to fill a watery grave.
Nothing is farther from the truth, so
asserted the mother of the victims.
The entire party was employed in the
vicinity where the drowning occurred
and by occupation were bridge car
penters. and on Saturday proceeding
their death was doing similar work
Near the noon hour a storm arise
which caused them to miss the train
for South Chicago and as a last resort
bearded the launch, DESTROYS of get
ting home as early as possible. as their
mother, who is widow lady, might be
fearful of their late return.
The deceased were laid to rest in Mt

many. among those contributing being

bridge carpenters union.
Mrs. OConnell, mother of the young
men who were drowned, is still sueffr-

Gus sobs yesterday expressed herself as
being thankful for the kind offerings
and floral tributes and the sympathy
extended the family in their bereave-
ment.

came to Chicago last April, where they
have resided ever since.

A Gary man has been sued for di-

cent novel successes of the season,
portrays life in the natural so fas-
cinatingly as to influence many young
couples to try it. But 1T must be re-

the honeymoon was passed in tropical

papers filed last year by her husband,
Grover Hamilton, Mrs. Hamilton is de-

another warning in the woeful tale of
Sadie Hamilton.
With three inches of snow on the
ground. it being November of 1906,
Sadie was living in a 10x14 tent in the
wilderness almost of northern Indiana,
and there wasn't a piece of kindling
wood in sight Absence of a stove
would have made it useless anyway
as a lighted fire inside would have
turned the canvass to ashes, and out
side the wind was blowing a furry of
snow through the cracks of the tent.
What little provisions on hand Mrs.
Hamilton says. had been furnished by
her father, and on one cold, wild day
in November there wasn't a morsel of
bread in the PENTHOUSE. About the
warmest place was in bed tucked under
the covers with ne'er a chance to do
sewing or knitting. She would have
been only too glad to have borne the
freezing weather if there had been a
slice of nice fresh beefsteak to broil.
About the only alternative was just
stay in bed and try to forget it,
But Mrs. Hamilton couldn't forget or
forgive, and soon after separated from
her husband who went to Gary, Ind
Here his conduct with other women
was notorious. AYERS Mrs. Hamilton
Though frequently he was able to per-

conspicuous by absence the fact that

followed his EDITORIAL mandates as to
seek shelter in a tent even after the
sere leaves had fallen and the snowy
wind was sighting through bare
branches. E. E. Weir is Mrs Hamil-
toms counsel.

Especial to THE TrMEsl


East Chicago, Ind, Oct. 5.-Consid-
cradle doubt regarding the political
status of East Chicago has been ex-
pressed heretofore but the doubters
have been convinced that this city Is
still n good republican town and will
not be influenced by the. attempts of a
few democratic leaders and sociaIistic
shouters to cry "ruin'' against the re-
publican cry of "prosperfty." The rep
resentation Of this city and Indiana
Harbor at the Watson-Garfield rally in
Hammond on Saturday night was con-
vincing. Three hundred loyal repub-
licans took advantage of the two spe-
cIal cars furnished by the county CEN
trail committee upon the request of
the local Young Mems Republican club.
President Joseph A. Meade is justly
proud of his efforts to introduce good
showing from the sister cities of In
diana Harbor and East Chicago. as are
also President Dubbs of the Harbor
club, and Indiana Harbor's chairman.

ded to the enthusiastic appearance OF
the crowd and the boys left Hammond

ing the affair.

tative, Edward w. Mickey. Mr.. Wat
son told of meeting Mr.. Mickey in

eral OCCASIONS, always interested in the
PRONUNCIATION of the welfare Of the Cal

put forth his best efforts in the ad-

probation will be more fttingly showr

crossing Rapidly.
CONDITIONS ARE IMPROVING

THE TINES weekly story of the in
dustriaI conditions in South Chicago
shows at the close of the week very
little change from the preceding one
The coming week promises, according
to reports at the mills today, to show
slight Improvement as several of the
mills and other minor industries in
the region are scheduled to resume
operations.
Today plate mill No. OF the Illinois

The most encouraging reports In this
district come from Hegewisch, where
1t is reported that the Ryan Car works
at that place will reopen this week
An official of the plant was reached
over the wire today and said that the
plant would reopen about November i.
few workmen are now employed at
the works getting everything in readi-
ness for the resuming of activities.
The Ryan Car works, which have been
closed down for the past eight months
Is only a small industry. yet the people
of Hegewisch will gladly welcome the
news of the opening of the plant. Small
orders have been received from time
to time during the summer, but the Of
ficials did not think it would be a wise
plan to resume until they had secured
sufficient orders to warrant steady en-
ployment to their men throughout the
winter. About 800 men will be en-
ployed.
Additions to Big Plant.
The additions which are now being
made to the plant of the Western Steel
Car and Foundry company at Hege-
wisch are being rushed, and are ex-
pected to be completed by the time
cold weather sets in It is said thai
| the company has orders on hand that
will cause them to employ many extra
men when the new improvements tc

employed this week.

MARVELLOUS ESCAPE
FROM FATALITY
Max Hirsch Collides With
Flyer and One Horse
Is Killed.
COULDN'T SEE THE TRAIN
Baker Was Driving From Toleston
to Gary and Is Nearly
Killed.

Another marvellous escape from al
urday on the Michigan Central, when
Max Hirsch, the baker, In crossing the
Michigan Central tracks at 3:45 had his
wagon struck by the fast Michigan Gen.
trail westbound train, resulting In the
death of one of the horses and slight
injury to the driver.
Mr.. Hirsch was returning from Gary
to Toleston in the afternoon. after
making his days delivery in Gary. He
was driving at his usual gait when he
crossed the tracks of the Michigan Cen
trail at the Toleston road and extension
of Eleventh avenue. Because of the
sharp turn just before the railroad is
reached 1t is almost impossible to see
an approaching train. All unconscious
Of his danger, therefore. Mr.. Hirsch
drove upon the tracks, and, seeing the
train upon him, made frantic effort
to back off.
One Horse Is Killed.
This was impossible, but he managed
to get it far enough off the track so
that the engine did not hit him. One
the other was slightly injured. The
wagon was hurled to one side of the
road and fell upon Mr.. Hirsch. who had
also been thrown out of the wagon.
Unfortunately the wagon turned over
on him or he would not have been in
jured at all. His wounds. however, are
not serious and he will be able to be
out again in q few days.
The crossing &c known RI he Very
dangerous one and Is feared by all of
the drivers of Toleston and Gary. 1t is
surprising that there have not been
more accidents at this crossing than
there have been. The horse which was
killed yesterday was valued at 5000.
and the wagon, which was not badly in
jured, can be repaired for a small
amount
! The accident was witnessed by Motor
man Robert Law of-the Toleston branch
| of the Gary and Interurban, whose car
was on the siding at the time. He
says it was one of the narrowest es-
capes he ever saw.

Please ship my trunk and suit
case to Mr.. and Mrs. George D.
Lynn, Port, Marion, Pa.
"(Signed) B. E. LYNN"
The above note was brought to the
police station yesterday by a small boy
who had been seen to the station to
warn the moi Mr.. Lynns intended ac-
ton. Mrs. Lynn had found the note
in the mans room and fearing that
while he was in that state of mind he
would kill both her and himself, she
asked for assistance from the police
The man has been threatening suicide
for some time and recently has secured
revolver, but until yesterday he was
never taken seriously. The police are
inclined to question whether or not the
man was preparing to kill himself or
whether he was simply bluffing for
another purpose.
Police Unearth History.
earthed by the police in their investi-
cation yesterday in part was as
follows:
Mr.. Lynn and the woman in his house
at 54S Van Buren, street are not man
ana VIE Inc mouse which IneY &C.
cupy is owned jointly by the man and
the woman. The man who has only a
$500 interest in the place is trying to
get the woman to deed over the prop
erty to him,according to the story of
the woman. Mr.. Lynn says that he
has a wife living in Pennsylvania, and
that his wife promised him enough
money to go there and get divorce.
He prepared to do so. but yesterday
when he was about to start she would
not give him the necessary money. He
is employed in the steel mills and has
been turning all of his wages over to
the woman.
Repeatedly Threatened Suicide.
Mr.. Lynn, who has several times
threatened to take his life. became more
violent yesterday and his wife became
alarmed. Sc knew that he had a re-
volver in his possession. Sc did not
deem it necessary to notify the police,
however, until after the epistle was
found directing the disposition of his
personal effects after he was gone. This
looked too much like business and she
resolved to do something at once.
Fears For Her Own Life.
| The theory of the police is that he Is
simply attempting to brighten the
woman into signing over the deed to
the property and is using the threat
of suicide as a leverage to compel heI
| to do so. They also believe that since
his many threats did not seem to have
much effect on her, that he would go
step farther and leave the note where
it could be found to further induce hel
| to accede to his demands. The woman
it appeared was not so much afrait
that the man would take his own life
| as that he would take hers.
Mr.. Lynn and the woman have beer
living in Gary for several months. Mr.
Lynn is employed in the steel mill.
where he is holding a good position
Both originally came to Gary from
| Pennsylvania.

ed that in the course of time the
affairs may be so adjusted as to great
ly minimize the disaster. This will,
of course, greatly depend upon what
can be realized upon the stock and the
collection of the outstanding accounts,
which, as before stated, exceed the IL
abilities
Messrs. w. &. Mullen and B. Ell.
Owen, on whom the onus of the failure
will naturally fall, in the public mind
have always been considered men of
the highest probity and integrity of
character, which estimation remains
unshaken among those who know
them best To ascribe criminal in
tent, or assert that the failure was
premeditated, would be manifestly un-
just, as it is inconceivable in what
possible manner they could be the ben
ehciaries of such result. They pre-
sumably ''waded little beyond their
depth, extended too much credit and
had accounts outstanding on which
they could not realize at the critical
moment.
The store will remain closed until
such time as legal adjustment can
be made. Mr.. Mullen is at present in
Oklahoma, where he went to see
brother who is ill.
