TO AVOID COAL FAMINE
EFFORTS MADE TO PREVENT AN
NUAL FUEL SCARCITY IN
NORTHWEST.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, July D.
Methods of preventing the annual fuel
famine which ol Gains in the nor,n-
west every winter. leaving suffering,
privation and death in it's wake, are
under discussion at the convention
opened here today by the Northwest
ern Retail Coal Dealers association.
Dealers are here from Minnesota, Mon
tana, the DakOtaI Wisconsin and
Manitoba, and for three days will give
almost their undivided attention to the
of fuel supply for the coming winter.
One of the questions to be given CON-
siderable discussion is that referring
to summer freight rates. 1t has been
the desire of the association to have
the railroads concede certain points
in the way of summer rates that WIN
enable the dealers to ship coal at re-
duced rates to all northwestern points
early in the summer.
If the roads can be persuaded 10
grant a special rate for the three sum-
mer months, the companies will be
able to get the coal to the northwest
ern points at cost that will allow
them to sell the fuel at greatly reduced
prices, hoping thereby to get the CON-
sumers to buy coal early in the year
to avoid the congestion which newt
ably brings on the coal famine IN the
late winter
The matter was taken up last year,
but little success was met with, but
with the working of the Interstate
commerce commission and a special
committee from the association, it is
believed the roads will concede some
points to the association.

From the reports that have been re-

The Holland officials took the party
over their pavements and declared their
satisfaction with the brick treated with
the asphalt filler. The pavement has
been laid for three years and was put
down by W. w. Hatch & Son of this

HANLY RETURNS TODAY
Will Call Special Election
to Fill Brick
Vacancy.
(SnecinI to The Times.l

Indianapolis, April 11.-Politicians
are anxiously awaiting the return to
this city today of Governor Hanly, who
has been in Pennsylvania making local
option speeches. They think the gov
ernor will take a hand in the Thirteen
tn district congressional situation i'm
mediately upon his return. 1t is up to
the governor to call a special election
to fill the vacancy caused by the death
Of A. L. Brick, OF South Bend. Until
the governor makes known his inten-
sions the politicians. who just now are
thinging of nothing else but the ques-
tion of Congressman Bricks successor
will remain up in the air.
At the headquarters of the republican
state committee, 1t is thought that Gov
ernor Hanly will lose not time in des-
ignating date for special election
to fill the unexpired term which con.
tinues until March 4. The law, it Is
explained, contemplates an immediate
election to fill a vacancy. It is further
explained that the seven county chair
men of the district may fill the place
on the ticket. but that the short tern
can be filed only by a man eleced a
a special election called by the gov
ernor.

How noble dog who had been the
Leonard Linstrom of Milers, pointed
out the watery CRANE where his lit
tie playmate lay drowned while the
family, including the aged great-grand-
father. H. Hasselgreen, was frantic
with excitement on account of the
child's sudden absence, was the pa
thetic story that Coroner E. NJ. Shank
lyin heard yesterday when he was
called to Miller's to hold the inquest
1t was only few minutes after the
old man, beside whom the youngster
was playing, missed him, that he turn
ed toward the moat behind the house
and saw the dog looking at the ditch
which is less than two feet wide
Aroused by the animals curious actions
and already having missed the child
he grabbed a stick and poked about
in the water and to his horror touched
the child In stagnant water. The
mother, almost helpless with fright
rushed for one of the forks in the
barn and took her own child from its
Shiny bed.
S. A. Smith. friend of the family
who happened to be passing, and see-
ing the excitement. rushed from hi:
wagon and seeing the result OF the ac.
cident, summoned DR.. Mackey of Ho.

The doctors arrival. however, was
too late to save the child.

GREAT CHARITY WORK
Indiana Harbor and East
Chicago Committees
Are Merged.

The two committees that were form
ed in Indiana Harbor and East Chi
cago to conduct the relief work that
has been in progress there, have been
merged into one so far as their gen
eral head is concerend. While both
will retain their individuality to a GER
tain extent, they are both under the
city's supervision and the investigation
of all cases will be in charge of the
police
In the mean time S. L. Eis1er, chair
man of the Indiana Harbor committee,
has declared his intention of resigning,
while Constable Muller and Justice
Jones. both Whiting men, have with
drawn from active service. 1t is said
that Mr.. Eisler, however, has been
talked out of his intention of resigning
and is willing to reconsider his action
Mr.. Eisler was not, however, in Indiana
Harbor. to confirm or deny this rumor
Two commissary department have
been opened up. one in East Chicago
and the other at the Harbor. That at
East Chicago is at the rear of M. j..
O'Connelps. while that at the Harbor is
in the basement of a house at Washing
ton and Block streets. The police off,
Ger in charge of the investig alton at
East Chicago is Officer John Thompson
while Jim Galloway has charge of the
commissary here. officer John Ford
will take care of the commissary in In
diana Harbor and officer A. G. Petrie
will look after the work from the out
side.
The provisions that are being dis
pensed from these two places include
flour, beans, potatoes, bread, salt,
smoked meats and coffee.
Out of seventeen cases of poverty re-
ported at Indiana Harbor, twelve were
found to be worthy. The rest were
turned down. Frank Karkovich, 355e
Block avenue, was one Of those to whom
aid was refused. Fifteen or twenty
plump fowls were found strutting about
the back yard when the officer made his
call Maria Wana was another whose
case was not regarded as sufficiently
serious to warrant public charity. She
was asked her address which proved &c

she went to withdraw from the bosom
of her dress a scrap of paper on whfcf

property, and another that Of mar

| Three hundred and seventy dollars
was raised yesterday in East Chicago
-Four cases of destitption were reported
and acted upon favorab1y.
There has been criticism passed OF

all of its members were republicans
This it is explained has no significanc'
but is merely a coincidence.

HIGH SCHOOL GIRL
DIES THIS MORNING
Miss Carrie Buzzard of
Hammond High School
Dead of Typhoid.
GLOOM OVER SCHOOL TO-DAY
Attendance at School After Having
Relapse Is Responsible for
Her Demise.
GLOOM OVER SCHOOL TO-DAY

While her classmates In the HAM
mond high school were riotously happy
last night over the victory of their rep
resentative in oratory, Miss Carrie Buzz
card, a member of tfae high school lay
dying at the local hospital.
To the exert grief of her friends and
the exquisite sorrow of her loved ones
Miss Buzzard, who was II years of age.
died this morning at 10 O'Clock.
The cause of her death was typhoid
fever which attacked her shortly after
the holidays. After several weeks of
illness she recovered but after one day
of attendance at the school again a few
weeks ago she suffered a relapse which
proved fatal.
She was practically unconscious for
two weeks but during all the time that
she was confined to bed her mind was
on her studies. In its wanderings 1t
went back to school in attempt to re-
gain the lost time and her delirium
was pitiful
Miss Buzzard came to Hammond last
spring from Wakarusa, Ind, in order
to attend high school here. She made
her home with Mr.. and Mrs Carl E.
Nelson. the latter being her sister, liv-
ing at 113 Carroll street.
Her father died several years ago
but her mother married again and is
now Mrs. Caroline Stauffer, who lives
at the Indiana City.
| The remains will be sent to Wakaruss
tomorrow noon for burial to take place
Monday afternoon. Friends who wisf
to view the remains may do so to-
morrow from until IL o'clock in ths
forenoon.
The death of Miss Buzzard has cas-
a gloom over the high school. She wa
popular with the students and he
teachers.
Prof. w. A. Hill. principal of TIT
school said this morning:
ssAIsas Buzzartl was-al raadaI student
bright and industrious. We all though
very much of her and her uHtinel,
death is deeply mourned by US"

POLITICIANS FLATTER
LAKE COUNTY MAN
Two Factions Praise Dick
Schaaf to Get Him
Into Fold.
BITTER FIGHT IS RECALLED
James E. and A. jeremiah Both
Hand The Cream to the
Hammond Man.
BITTER FIGHT IS RECALLED

All of the time that Richard Schaaf
can get from his work Of looking af-
ter the poor in Hammond Is spend
reading letters from down the state
politicians. commencing him for his
activities at the state convention.
A bit Of humor is injected into the
situation on account of the efforts of
the two political factions in the state
to line up the genial county chairman
for their side.
There has always been a bitter fight
on between what is known as the
Fairbanks machine and the Beveridge
forces. This fight has never extended
as far north as the northern tier of
counties but these letters indicate that
an effort will be made by both fac
ticns to secure the support of the
north end of the state.
Beveridge wrote Mr.. Schaaf long
letter in which he said he wanted to
congratulate him for the manly and
forceful stand he had taken in oppo-
sition to the machine during the or
ganization of the district preceding the
convention.
Beveridge is aware of the fact that
the effort of Henry Marshall and Will
Wood to railroad a machine ticket
through was frustrated and that Rich
ard Schaaf defeated John Moorman for
the place on the credentials commit
tee. He is clever enough poIicitian
to take this as an indication that the
counties of Lake. Porter and LaPorte
are opposed to the state machine and
hopes to encourage them in their op-
position to it.
On the other hand Watson, who rep
resents the state machine. knows thai
he can do great deal for Lake coun-
ty If the county will stand sQuare1y
for him in the future. Accordingly
he has written to Schaaf commencing
him for his attitude during the stat.
convention. The letter was filled witt
praise for Schaaf and the stand he tool
during the convention.
Here two contending parties hav
written the chairman of the LAX
county central committee, both stain,
that they approve of the stand b
took when that stand could not pos
sibIy have favored both OF them at tn
same time
Dick simply smiles about the af
fair and says, Well. we made them 81
up and take notice"
