deducted the Implications, that is

SPECIAL ELECTION TO
NAME HIS SUCCESSOR
Politicians All Over State
Discuss Contingency
Caused by Death.
Who WILL SUCCEED BRICK?
Charles W. Miller of Goshen Will
Be Candidate for Dead
Mans Shoes.
Especial to TIMEsl

indianapolis, April 8.-Politicians here
expect that special election will be
held in the Thirteenth district to select
a successor to Congressman A L. Brick,
who died suddenly in Indianapolis.
Precedent and law, they say, require a
special election to select a man to fill
out the unexpired terms. The unex-
pired term of Mr.. Brick will continue
until March 4.
Inasmuch as Mr.. Brick had already
been renominated for a new term, 1t is
likely that the chairmen of the counties
included in the district will nominate
a successor to fill the vacant place on
the ticket and it is likely too, that the
nominee at the special election for the
unexpired term will be the nominee on
the ticket for the regular term.
Two names are heard here as those
of prospective successors: Charles w.
Miller, Goshen. and John L. Moorman.
Knox Mr.. Miller was candidate for
the governorship and was the second
strongest man in the recent conven-
tion. He came out of the fray with
colors flying and many regard him as
the logical candidate of the district for
congress. Moorman is chairman of the
district.
The special election will have to be
called by governor Hanly and general

OSCAR BROMS IS
DEAD At HIS HOME
Hammond Manufacturers
Sudden Death Shock
to Friends.
HELPED FOUND BOILER WORKS
Was Prominent in Both the Masonic
and Vikings Orders and Was
Much Esteemed.

Oscar Broms, president of the Ham
mond Boiler Works company, died at
o'clock this morning, surrounded by
his immediate family and a number of
friends. Although he has been in poor
health for number of years, his ill
ness did not take a turn for the worse
until last Wednesday when he had to
take to his bed. The deceased was
AZ years old and leaves a wife and two
sons whose ages are respectively II
and years.
Seven years ago Mr.. Broms went
into partnership with his present
partner, William C. McEwen at Blue
Island, and started what is now the
Hammond Boiler works, located on
Wilcox avenue and the Calumet river.
After a year Of operation in Blue
Island the plant was removed to Ham
mond where in prosperous times it
employed twenty-five men. Mr.. Even
continued his partnership with Mr.
Broms and is the present secretary and
treasurere of the comptny.
Mr.. Broms was prominent in lodge
circles, especially among the Swedes
havinb been a member of the Vikings
and the treasurer of the Ccandia lodge
He was also an Entered Apprentice
in the Masonic order.
Speaking of his late partner today
Mr.. McEwen said:
Among his many good qualifica-
tions he had one which has helped to
make the Hammond Boiler Works q
success and that was his progressive
spirit
The funeral ARRANGEMENTS have not
yet been made although it is very
probable that he will be buried ir
Hammond. He was member of the
Swedish Lutheran chuhch of Chicago
and lived at $50 Truman avenue.

HAMMOND LAWYER
LEARNS new PLANS
Inland Steel Company May
Wreck South Bay
Hotel at Harbor.
WILL BUY LAKE FRONTAGE
New Blast Furnaces May Be Erected
Site of Handsome Residences
Of That City.

While in conference with several Chi
cago business men Attorney George b.
Sheerer of this city learned, from what
seemed to be an authoritive source.
that the Inland Steel company at In
diana Harbor is making preparations
to buy all of the residences on the
lake front and purchase, for the pur-
pose of moving or wrecking, the South
Bay hotel which is Indiana Harbor's
finest hostelry.
The great significance of this action
is that the Inland Steel company ex-
poets to branch out and build new blast
furnaces along the entire lake front
as far east as the pumping station
Eventually, the whole plant will have
to be increased in size and capacity and
this will be welcome news to the peo-
pie of the Harbor city. The Inland
Steel company is one of the most i'm
portant industries in the Calumet re-
gion and has been rapidly growing ever
since it was located here.
The only feature of the deal that is
regretted by the people of Indiana Har-
Dor is the fact that the city will be
entirely cut off from the lake front.
Indiana Harbor's lake front boulevard
will in the future become thing of
the past and there will be nothing in
the territory north of the Pennsylvania,
Lake Shore and Baltimore & Ohio rail-
road tracks but manufacturing plants
and tangles of side tracks.
The idea of a "city beautiful' so far
as the lake front is concerned will have
to be abandoned and if anything is
done along this line it will have to be
| by the laying out of parks in other
parts of town.
The people in Indiana Harbor are
reconciled by the fact that their city
| is primarily manufacturing city and
| in return for the sacrifice they are
making there will soon be renewed in
dustrial activity and Indiana Harbor
will be one of the most prosperous
cities in the Calumet region.
/ The details of the plans of the Inland
Steel company for extensions and i'm
provements between the harbor and the
South Bay hotel have not yet been
made known but it is the firm con-
viction of all of those who have learned
of what the steel company is doing that
it would not go to the great expense tC
move large number of houses and q
costly hotel if some large extension
as not contemplated.

ticket for the office of township trus-
tee.
Mr.. Becker will make a warm race.
He is we'll acquainted, well thought of,
and well qualified and will add zest
to an already exciting contest. He has
been alderman for four years and on
his second term now, having repre-
sented the fifth ward to the satisfac-
ton of his constituents. He is a Lake

since 1889, being a travelling repre-

election rules will govern. Candidates
may be named at conventions or they
may get their names on the tickets by
petitions. Governor Hanly is in Penn

Will not be obtained but it is thought
about the state house that he will call

date. There are those, however, who
insist that the governor will seek to
make the date of the special election
on the day Of the general election so
that the candidate for the unexpired
term and for the regular term may be
elected at once. The nearness of the
regular election makes this desirable.

by others that such procedure would
be impossible because of the election
flaws.

The pinch has come for the man out
of job. The man who did not save
for rainy day is in dire stress and
another month may reveal untold suf-
fering If conditions do not imprive.
Richard schaaf. yesterday. spent
one of the most strenuous days in
his career as township trustee and a
man less capable than he would have
been swamped by the magnitude of
work of relief with he was faced.
Almost simultaneously there came
calls of distress from the Standard
district in Hammond, from Indiana
Harbor and from Isolated places in
North township. Bread lines were
formed in Indiana Harbor and Ham
mond and many of the most trying
cases of destitution were taken care of.
Points Out Dangers.
In an interview yesterday afternoon
Mr.. Schaaf pointed out one of the great
dangers of indiscriminate immigration
when there is plenty of work the
foreigners flock to this country by the
thousands" said Mr.. Schaaf. They
prosper and all of the surplus they are
able to save goes back to the old coun-
i. try. The books of the foreign ex-
change agents show that from the
I Calumet region alone there were thou
sands of dollars a month being sent
back to the countries from whence
these foreigners come. Now a crisis in
the business affairs of the nation has
come and these same men, who should
have hundreds of dollars to their credit
in our banks, are penniless and calling
upon the public to feed them"
Hunkies Get Wrong Ideas.
Chief of Police Rimbach had a con-
crete illustration to bear out what Mr.
Schaaf said. Every night" said the
chief, 1--WE have from fifty to a hundred
men come to US and ask US for a place
to sleep. A great many of these men
are Americans, but it Is noticeable that
the Americans are always on the 60
They ask nothing but place to
lay their heads and they are on the
lookout for work of any kind all the
time. They seem to have some pride
They will work, every time, rather
than beg. But as soon as these for
eigners get out of work they come
around to US for assistance and in g
great many cases they seek help when
they do not really need it. They seem
to think that this great and good coun-
try OF ours will give them a living
some way or another and they impose
on US"
The chief went on to say that out OF
twenty men who were brought to him
by a certain man in the Standard Steel
district as men worthy of assistance
only two were found to be destitute
Real Cases of DestitutiOn.
But in spite of these demonstration:
which it is feared are some times To-
mented by misguided leaders, there are
some cases of real destitution.
The other day a woman came into the
police station and asked for assistance
On a superficial examination of hel
case 1t was not thought she merited an.
