March 26-Nominated by the Tag
CART machine and the brewery alliance
after the latter took Sam Ralston out
of the race. MarshalTs forces on the
convention floor managed by Steve
Fleming, Fort Wayne brewery boss.
June Marshall made his first
keynote" speech at Richmond. De-
clared then that township and ward
local option is better than the county
unit and that the later is "delusion
and snare" He went into the legal
phase of the situation to show that
county local option is not best
June and July-Marshall advocated
township and ward unit so vigorously
that every brewer, saloonkeeper and
liquor dealer in Indiana lined up sol
idly for him and against the county
unit.
August-During the first two weeks
of this month 1t was rumored that
Marshall was about to declare in his
second keynote" at Salem that he
would sign a county local option law
1t was noticeable. however, that the
brewery alliance did not change its
tactics. Its representatives predicted
that Marshall would stand for the
ownship and ward unit.
August 17-Marshan made good the
predictions of the brewers that he
would not state that he would sign
county local option bill On this date
he stated in an interview in the In
dianapolis Sun, one of the brewery or
gans. that those who favored prohibit
ton of the liquor traffic should not
vote for him. He declared that he
did not favor the county unit, and if
he did he would withdraw from the
democratic ticket.
August 22-Marshall delivered his
revised Keynote" at Salem, in which
he reafhrmed his Richmond key
note" He declared again for the kind
of local option advocated by the brew
ers.
Sept s-Marshall, in a speech at
Clinton, finally took notice of the pub
lie challenge of James E. Watson, re-
publican nominee for governor, that
he declare openly whether he would
sign a county local option bill, saying
he would not sign any bill until he
saw it.
Sept. 9-MarshalI attended con-
ference at which the policy of the
democratic lawmakers in the special
session was fixed" by Taggart, John

JURY IN ORGY CASE
HOPELESSLY DIVIDED
Defendants in Kensington
Stag of Honor Are Kept
in Suspense.
JUDGE ASKS some QUESTIONS
Jury Is Discharged and Proceedings
Are Permitted to Go Over
Until Sept 80.

After wrestling for FIVE hours with
the evidence of the nude "orgy" of
obscene pictures and shocking stories
of the ''Hootchee Kootchee." the twelve
who were called upon to decide the
awful orgy" which came off in Ken
sington some time ago could not agree
upon a verdict.
Neither Rocco Navigate. nor the po-
lice was called Guilty" of the the
Orgy and another day of suspense
will be spent by the guilty party or
parties.
What were we to do?' asked the
foreman. Walter B. Brooks, 1921 North
Western avenue, after the panel had
been discharged by the court Here
we found Navigate the defendant in
the case. while the police themselves
admittedly were present at the stag
If the show was obscene-and the ev-
idence tends to show it was-why did
not the police interfere?"
This was the proposition which for
five hours divided the twelve men. The
jury retired to consider verdict
shortly before noon, and at. o'clock in
the afternoon they were summond into
court by Judge Newcomer.
jury is Divided.
s'Win you gentlemen ever reach a
verdict" he asked addressing the
foreman.
Il think not your honor; we are
hopelessly divided" replied Mr.. Brooks.
The jury stood nine TO three for ac-
quittaI on the last ballot. there being
ten ballots taken. The first vote was
eight to four for acquittal.
Goes Over Until Sept. 80.
Neither Lieutenant Mooney nor AS
slstant Prosecuting Attorney Henry
Seligman were in court when the jury
was discharged. Assistant City Pros
ecutor Lee, however, stipulated to al
low the proceedings to go over until
Sept 80. At that time. Lieutenant
Mooney announced last night. Naviga-
tor will again be placed on trial.
Il am sorry we did not obtain a con-
viction in this case" said the lieutenant,
and 1 hops we shall be more successful
at the next hearing. 1 am trying ID
prosecute these cases faithfully"
However that may be. it was init
mated about Judge Newcomers court
yesterday that certain police officials
are not over-anxious to convict Navi-
cato. The trial of the case just closed
is declared by some to have been poor
" handled. The selection of the jury
and the failure to bring out certain
evidence are two points criticised by
lawyers who have followed the pro-
ceedings.

1t was Cato who always ended every
speech he made In the Roman senate
with the words, "Delenda est Cartha-
CO.. Carthage must be destroyed"
1t made no difference what subject he
was discussing, Cato always used this
warning, claiming that the safety of
the Roman empire depended on the
destruction of its rival across the
Mediterranean.

country prosperous In material things
will support Mr.. Taft, but above all
ask for support for him because he
stands for the moral uplift of the ma

FAILED TO MAKE
TRAIN CONNECTION
Republican and Democrat Are Com
panions In Misery and Experience
Ends Up With An Edward Payson
Weston Stunt Back to the Steel
City.

Among the victims Of the breakdown
yesterday on the Chicago, Lake Shore
& South Bend line were William H.
K1iver, candidate for joint representa-
tive, and Robert Emmett OConner. ex-
president of the democratic club of
Gary. Both left Gary on the first
train out of the city so that one Of
them could make a train and the
other keep an appointment. When a
half mile out of the city the cars stop
ped and the troubles of the two politi-
clans began.
Missed His Connections.
Mr.. Kliver was very anxious TO make
train connections so that he could get
to Brook. Ind, where he could hear
the standard-bearer of the republican
party. William H. Taft, speak to the
farmers. The candidate wouldn't have
missed the event for anything in tho
world but he was stalled and that was
all there was to it.
Kliver jumped onto the conductor
with the able assistance of Mr.. O'Con-
ner, and called the road everything in
his vocabulary, which falling to ac-
complish their purpose, the two got Off
the car and started to walk to their
destinations. They left orders with
the conductor that if the car overlook
them to pick them up. After they had
walked as far as the viaduct across
the Pennsylvania tracks the car re-
ceived enough power to catch up to
them and they were taken aboard.
Have TO Give 1t Up.
AS soon as they were seated how
ever, the car was again unable to
move owing to the sharp incline be-
fore them which they had to run up,
and after waiting for several minutes
they again got off and walked In
about fifteen minutes the car again
came along and stopped for the second
time to pick them UP. Again the car
refused to move after they were
seated. and another volume of pent-up
indignation was exploded on the con-
ductor and officials Of the road in gem
eraL For the third time, however, Mr..
O'Conner summoned up enough cour-
age to attempt to walk to his destina-
ton on the Clark road and he arrived
there just two hours and a half after
he left Gary.
Gets Back at Noon.
In the meantime Mr.. Kliver had also
tried the Edward Payson Weston
means of transportation, and after
many minutes of arduous effort arrived
at the bridge crossing the Calumet
river, but a short distance from Har-
Dor Junction. At this place he and a
number of companions were picked up
by the car and carried through to the
next station. Here Mr.. Kliver got off
and took the next car right back to
Gary. He arrived there about noon. all
out of breath and in terrible mental
anguish Mr.. Kliver has sworn ven-
geance against the South Bend line,
and declares the steam road is good
enough for him.

man N. w. Hay, leaving Green
vile under the new schedule at
7:34 am, while running at a
speed of 35 miles an hour, jump
ed the track Tuesday morning at
a point just beyond Steel Point
school house, caused by a broken
front axle on the forward truck,
which broke square off a couple
of inches inside the left front
wheel. This caused the car to
drop to the tracks and bump a.
long the ties for nearly a hund-
red feet, finally leaving the road
bed entirely. and plowing into
the pike on the east side of the
track, was completely turned a.
round by it's own momentum and
crashed over into the ditch a to-
tai wreck of twisted and broken
timbers, glass and iron. It was
truly marvellous, to gaze upon
the debris of what only a few
minutes before was a modern
electric coach, in it's completely
crushed condition, that any of
the passengers and employees il
contained at the time of the ac-
cident escaped alive. AS it was,
all were more or less injured,
but only one, Allen Fry, sustain
ed serious injuries. The tumb'
ling over of the car and crushing
in of one side, tore loose the fix
lures and heating apparatus
hurting the passengers among
the wreckage in a stunned, BILE ed
