East Chicago Ind, July 25.-(spe-
ciaL 1.-The massmeeting of Thursday
night continues to be the chief topic
of conversation in East Chicago.
The import of the four resolutions
censuring the council and calling upon
Mayor De Briae to withhold his sigma
ture from warrants pertaining to al
legged Westrumite which is being used
as a street dressing to lay the dust,
and from the furniture vouchers. have
penetrated the most remote corners of
the little city and many who were not
present at Thursdays meeting are dis
cussing the proceedings of the occa-
sion with as much heat as those who
were.
Express Lack of Confidence.
One of the resolutions expressed the
lack of confidence in the council by
the meeting. Another condemned the
aldermen for awarding the contract for
furnishing the city hall to the highest
bidder; a third ordered the mayor not
10 sign any more warrants to pay for
Westrumite. which is referred to as
Rockefeller dope" and a fourth or
dered him to withhold his signature
from furniture warrants amounting to
over $1,000.
Colonel r. y. Walsh claims that in
the first place the stuff being used to
lay the dust is rot Westrumite. but a
crude by-product put out by the
Standard Oil company and sold by them
in times past as low as five cents a.
gallon. while the city Of East Chicago
is paying 2S cents for the same ma
terial.
Names the Lake shore.
He named as an instance the Lake
! Shore road. which he said used tho
! stuff along its right Of way only to
be obliged to discontinue it soon after
/ owing to its damaging effects upon
4 the clothes Of passengers and car up
/ holstery.
Alderman Lewis denies that the
dressing IS not the genuine Westrum-
+ ite.
Regarding the letting Of the con-
tract for furniture for the city hall 10
the highest bidder, Mr.. Lewis declares
the furniture was Of better quality
than that offered by a rival bidder for
s1.737 less. He declares himself to be
an excellent Judge Of furniture and
maintains that he had the backing
Of the mayors Judgment to strengthen
his own when he inspected the furni-
ture Of the company whose bid was
finally accepted.
some one Telling n Story.
Colonei Walsh declares that Mayor
De Briae who is absent from the city,
denied to him that he had approved
of awarding the contract to the sue
cessful bidder and the colonel insinu-
ated that Lewis was a prevaricator. by
asserting that he would believe Mr..
De Briae in preference to the alder
man

School of Law.

Hammond's distinguished jurist Hon
Judge H. GiIlett of the Indiana Su-

in Hammond last night.

story is untrue" said Judge Gillette

university regarding any such plan.

mond when my term of office ex-
pires"
Hammond People Glad.
When Judge Gillette was defeated
in his race for the republican renom-
ination for judge Of the Supreme court
there was much interest displayed In
his future plans when his term of office
was over and it was given out in THE
TINES then that Judge Gtllett would
practice law in this city.
The news that the distinguished
jurist will remain in Hammond and
in the Lake county courts is now veri-
fled by no less a person than the judge
himself and his friends will be rejoyced
to hear it. for in the great and growing
Calumet region, the supreme court
Judge Will have ample opportunity to
display his profound knowledge of the
law. 1t is understood that Judge GIL
lette may be nonresident lecturer
at some of the law schools but thai
will in no wise interper with his career
in Lake county.

Holman ST. ROAD
IS KNOCKED OUT
Viewers Appointed by the
Board of County Commits
sioners Decide No.
COST WOULD Be TO GREAT
Bridge Would Have To Be Built
Over the Calumet and
Damages Much.

The proposed road leading from HOh-
man street south through the fertile
and faIIow fields of the truck farmers
to the east and west Munster-HighIand
highway was knocked out at Crown
Point last night
After due consideration of the ques-
tion of the question from both sides.
the reviewers appointed by the board
of county commissioners at their ses-
sion this month, Messrs Walter ]. Mer-
riel, Erhardt, Bixeman and Peter
Schmal of Crown Point and decided
that the thoroughfare to be made by
extending Holman street south was
impracticable.
Reviewers Meet Last Night.
At meeting held in the auditors Of
fee in the courthouse at the county
seat last night the reviewers took up
the cost of the project They went
over the probable assessments for
benefits and damages and found that
the latter far balanced the farmer.
The opposition of the land owners
was also found to be considerable,
several of the heaviest holders of
acreage along the proposed extension,
made no bones about the matter that
/ they would fight the opening of the
road in the highest courts in the land
Another thing that initiated against
the the road was the fact that costly
bridges would have to be built and the
benefits were very small that would be
derived from the road.
Decision Causes Disappointment.
The result of the reviewers decision
will no doubt cause a lot of disap-
pOintment in some quarters, Hammond
and Munster people wanted it badly
1t would have brought a lot of trade
to this city and brought 1t here often
er by shortening the cut to ST. John
Dyer, Maynard, Oak Glen and other
villages. The promoters of the roat
say that they are not discouraged, how
ever, and Will go after it again.
The reviewers will make their re
port to the board of commissioners the
first Monday in August

waiian Islands, which were abandoned
by his authority, the duty WAS now
imposed upon the United States OF
carrying out with a firm hand the ASK
which they had undertaken. The reso-
lutte policies which Mr.. Hay and Mr..
Root inaugurated in the state depart
ment-the maintenance OF the open
door in the Orient and the extension
of our relations with Latin America.
would be put In hazard by a change OF
administration. Only by a curious
chance did the democratic national
convention endorse a strong navy,
which is an essential factor of repub-
lican policy, but is not a natural part
Of the program of Mr.. Bryan, Even
II the regulation Of the railways and
the assurance of equal justice to all
shippers and all citizens, the orderly
and energetic policy adopted by the
present administration and the inter
state commission would be
Jared and confused If put in ne~
hands. more Jealous perhaps than CON-
petent.
A change in the national admins
tration might be a matter OF indiffer-
ence on some grounds but for two i'm
portant Ifs. The first of these is
that the republican Iarty during the
past twelve years had merely marked
time without accomplishing or inaugur-
ating any important reforms; but the
work which President Roosevelt has
done should be carried on by men who
are now in harness and who have beon
partners in framing his policies. The
second IF" is the important one. If
Mr.. Pryan we're safe and sane" but
his efforts to establish such a reputa-
ion by promising to keep within the
limits of his platform and to respect
existing law are hardly a sufficient
guarantee against his kicking over tn
traces and doing something reckless
and injurious to the country before
It's effects could be fully realized.
The trouble about Mr.. Bryan's as
surance that he will be bound by re
publican legislation as he finds 1t Is
hat much of this legislation is discre
tionary. No law can direct the presi
lent or secretary of the treasury al
just what moment they should inter
vene to avoid a panic or to ave the
nation from some great financial dis
aster. No law can compel Mr.. Bryan
t o Issue circulation under the recen,
emergency currency law II he thinks II
unwise. Indeed, in a thousand emery
sncies liable to confront the nation
not only financial but political and in,
iernat,onal, 1t Is highly important that
\ man trained by public service and
with a mind tempered by knowledge
and respect for law should sit in the
executive ehair4ef Mckinley and
Roosevelt.
