RAILROADS PLAY
DOG IN MANGER

by just 13 votes and of course, it met
defeat in the senate where the railroad
lobbyists got in their work. Shortly be-
fore the vote on the bill was taken,
however, Knots discovered that the
members of both of the states legisla
tive bodies were in possession of a
communication from the mayor and city
council at Hammond in which they
stated that they did not approve of
Knots project.
The railroads had been claiming that
Knots harbor scheme was merely a
private plan to boost real estate in the
vicinity of the proposed harbor and, of
course, when the opposition of Mayor
Reilly and the members of the council
was made evident by copies of the res
olution, which they passed, the rail-
roads claim was more than sustained.
Knots came back to Hammond and
held a public meeting in the Holman
opera house where he tried to arouse
the public spirit of the citizens of
this city and get them to indicate their
disapproval of the action of the council
but the people of Hammond were then
as lacking in public spirit as they seem
to be now and they did not hear the

Gives mp In Disgust.
When "Harbor" Knots found that
he was not supported in his pet
scheme by the people of Hammond
whom he was trying to serve he gave
up the whole plan in disgust. Indiana
Harbor has since become the harbor
of Lake County and has absorbed a
population of 10000 people in eight
years as a result. Hammond has
grown, it is true, but has grown In
spite of itself
At another time Mr. Knots went to
Washington to see If he could not per-
suade the government to take over
the Wolf Lake harbor and do some
thing with it. He was in the nations
capital seven weeks and while there
learned of some of the queer ways
Uncle Sam has of looking at the vari-
Gus rivers and harbor projects of the
members of his big family.
He got next to the rivers and harbors
committee and had a measure recon-
mended at the time Governor Hanley
was congressman from this district. He
secured the promise of the government
engineer who was IN charge of this dis
trict that he would not oppose the pro-
/ Ject- But when the engineers report
was made, before congress would ap-
propriate, he went back on his word
and stated that the plan could not be
approved by his department. Knots
went back to congress the following
year and got the same bill through
/ the same committee. This time it was
passed through both houses but it had
been included in the fated general de-
| ficiency bill which Grover Cleveland
vetoed and it met the fate of the
others.

.HOSFORD PARK
AGAIN IN COURT
Pfaffs Are Hailed Before
Judge Townsley on a
Provocation Charge.
ARNOLD FACTION HAS INNING
Evidence So Dramatically at Vari-
ance That Court Is Bewildered
In Maze.

For the fourth time within a few
weeks the citizens of Hosford Park
migrated to Gary to fight out their
wrangles and quarrels in the courts.
This time Mrs. Mary Pfan and her
daughter, Elizabeth Pfaf had been
arrested on a charge Of provocation
There were two warrants against Mrs.
Pfaff, in fact, which had to be tried
before Judge Townsley
Yesterday in the big fight was the
Arnold factions day and they to leave
no stone upturned to have Mrs. Pfaff
fined for calling him as he charged,
very vulger names The usual coterie
of witnesses drove into Gary yester-
day from the little sediment a few
miles south of town. to appear in the
case. Both Arnold and Mrs Pfaff have
regular supply from which they can
draw in any emergency, Judging from
the personnel of the characters in the
half dozen cases in which they have
already appeared.
Evidence Much mt Variance.
In this case as we'll as in those pre-
ceeding it there were numerous charges
by the attorneys on either side Of
framed-up prosecutions and framed up
defenses. The evidence as heard by
Judge Townsley was accordingly to the
latter so dramatically at variance, that
some one was evidently guilty Of per-
jury but it seemed useless to the Judge
/ to attempt to prove which one was
guilty. In the first case in which Jack
Arnold charges Mrs. Pfaff with provo
cation, the woman was found guilty
and fined S21.90, but Prosecuting Attor-
ney Boone, because of the fact that the
woman was poor agreed to deduct the
amount of his fee. In the other two
cases in which the woman and her
daughter were. charged with provoca-
ton by Mrs. Williams, the cases were
dismissed and after a heated lecture
to them on the subject of quareling.
gossipping, etc, both the prosecution
and defendants were allowed to return
to their homes. Attorney Clarence
Bretsch appeared for the defense.

FOURTH IN La PORTE
At Least Two Special Trains
Will Leave South

Away From Picnic Place VIII
Be an Attraction.

Great preparations are being made
through South Chicago Swedish So
cieties for attending their annual pic
mic and excursion, which will be held
this year at LaPorte Ind.
At least two special trains and pos
sibly three will leave South Chicago
over the Lake Shore road Sunday morn
ing to convey the local aggregation of
South Chicagoans to the Guinness city.
The first train will leave promptly at
o'clock and the other two will follow
within few minutes. All of the spe-
cials will leave in penty Of time that
the crowd will be in LaPorte before II
o'clock Between twenty-five and three
thousand people are expected to make
the trip.
Committees have been appointed and
everything is being arranged to make
the fourth annual joint picnic of the
Swedish societies one that will never
be forgotten by those who make the
journey. The general committee of ar
rangements is headed by Herman Nell
son, Axel Altman, Edward Tyden and
Mrs. Edward Carlson, Mrs. Carlson be-
ing the only woman on any of the com
mittees who will have something to say
about what will and what will not be
done. In all there are twenty-seven
people on the general committee that
will have charge Of the trip.
Upon the arrival in LaPorte the
crowd of South Chicago people will adj
journ to Pixies grove, which is only
three blocks from the famous Guinness
farm During the day hundreds of ex-
cursionists will visit the Guinness farm
in search OF any stray souvenirs that
they can carry back to show our ma
tives.
Following is list of the local Swed-
ish societies that will make the trip:
Linnea society.
Alliant Lodge, No. 2o1. knights OF
Pythias.
Independent Order of swtthots No. 6
Independent Order of Vikings. No. 5.

The afternoon will be devoted to vari-
Gus kinds of sport, Including races
jumps and weight events for the mem
bers and a baseball game, the players
which will be picked from the orders
that are represented.
Those who do not care for the ath-
letic end of the program will have the
opportunity of rowing out into the lake
where they can spend the afternoon
angling for members of the ffnny tribe
Herman Nelson, who is at the head
of the general committee, said yester-
day that he expected the excursion this
year would be a record breaker and
would eclipse all former affairs given

pie of Lake county better. He wants
the people of Lake county to know him
better and so he is coming down to
spend two strenuous days ''in our com
pany as our guests" as Richard Schaaf
puts it.
In Gary, where Mr.. Watson will make
his only speech, he is to be received
with open arms. The republican club
is making great preparations for his
entertainment and it is expected that
the whole city will turn out to honor
the first candidate for governor who
has visited Gary
The democrats were unsuccessful in
securing Thomas r. Marshall as one
of the speakers at their barbecue and
so the republicans are going to show
the Garyites that the republican party
realizes the Importance of the new steel
city by sending its candidate for gov
ernor there first.
1t is not expected that Watson will
deliver his keynote speech at Gary but
it is expected that he will say some
things on that touchy liquor question
I'm order to let the people of this part
of the state know whether or not he
will continue to Hanlyize Lake county.
Won't Mince His Words.
The one rcassuring thing about Mr..
Watson in the eyes of the local leaders
is the fact that he speaks plainly and
does not mince his words They be-
lieve that what Mr.. Watson tells the
labor leaders and what he tells the
saloonkeepers on the occasion of his
trip here, goes and that they can bank
on it. 1t is at least reassuring to know
where man stands.
In the cities of Whiting and East Chi
cago Mr.. Watson will have Informal
receptions in his honor. He will meet
a horde Of people and from each he
will want to know, What is the good
word" In Hammond Mr.. Watson's
chief object is to have heart to heart
talk with the laboring men. He thinks
| it will go a long way towards clearing
I up the little misunderstanding which
made things rather unpleasant for him
for week or two previous to the hold

GARY BOARD HOLDS
WEEKLY MEETING
Elects the Officers Which
Were Nominated a Few
Weeks Ago.
new PRESIDENT
President 7. E. Knots Believes That
Undesirable Members Should
Be Eliminated.

The Gary real estate board held it's
annual meeting yesterday and elected
the officers which were nominated by
a committee selected for the purpose at
meeting a few weeks ago.
The new officers of the organization
are, President, William Fitzgerald; Vice
president, Max Kirchman; Secretary,
George Baker; Treasurer, Morris Rel
ner. Directors, William Fitzgerald, Geo.
T. Baker, T. E. Knots, H. ]. Carr, Owen
S. McGinnity, Jack Ward and Max
Kirchman.
There was no friction at the cleo
ton yesterday and the slate of officers
seems to please all of the members
of the organization. They will be in
stalled on the first Monday in July.
Several applications for membership
We're received but none of them were
accepted for the reason that the board
is considering new policy regarding
the admission of members and it was
thought advisable to wait until this
could be finally determined upon
Want "UndesirabIes- Out.
Mayor T. e. Knots made a special
in which he said that he thought some
steps should be taken to eliminate
from the membership of the real es-
tate DOaTQ Certain undesirable MEM
bers. 1t is generally understood that
there are in Gary number of un-
scrupulous men in the real estate bust
ness who have cast an odium on all
of the others engaged in this business.
Mr.. Knots argued that the elimina-
ton of this element from the board
would make membership in it some
thing to be greatly desired and priced
He thought the standard of member
ship should be raised for the good of
the board but the manner of accomp-
fishing this end, it appears, is very
difficult.
There was a speech by Max Kirch-
man, the former secretary, who is now
vice president. ]. ]. Kelly, the treas
urer of the organization, made his
annual report, which showed that there
is $120 in the treasury. The report was
accepted.

Likes to Be One With All Men.

Another reason for the exterior af-
fected by man of the Cannon mold
Is that he desires to seem and be like
his fellows. He does what the rest
do not SO much because he wants to
eat forbidden fruit or even because he
wants to gain favor, but merely
through sense of brotherhood and
good fellowship. 1t is an aspect of the
democratic attitude, not the highest
aspect perhaps, but still one that must
be recognized. With most men who
are ruled by this impulse it Is but dim
~ recognized or is entirely uncon-
scious. By the keen mind Of Abraham
Lincoln, however. who had the same
characteristics himself, this inner mo
tive was clearly seen and stated. He
said that nothing could be very wrong
that Is done by most of the people.
That is quite characteristic of Lin
coins large charity and faith in ma
Jority rule, but 1t is a doctrine not
without its perils for all that. 1t is a
fine thing to be one with all men. not
to seem separate from them in any
way, but 1t is finer thing to be one
with truth, to be white to the core.
Lincoln was both, or as nearly SO as
any man seen In our time. It would

There is at least this much to be
said in Uncle Joe's favor. He is old
enough to run for president If he wants
to. He is not barred by youthfulness;
neither is there any danger Of his be-
ing referred to as the boy orator, Still,
although nearly seyenty-two, he is not
as old as Gladstone and DisraeH while
they were yet great parliamentary
leaders, as Won Moltlze and Bismarck
when they whipped France and made
Germany, as Lord Roberts and Paul
Kruger when they led their respective
sides in the Boer war, as Goethe and
Herschel when they did some Of their
best work or as Henry Gassaway Da-
Wis when he returned to earth to run
for vice president.
One. of the reasons that the speaker
has been able to live to such hale
and frisky age is that when the angel
Of death came looking for those sanity
characters that are cut off in the flower
OF their youth Uncle Joe was always
able to prove an alibi. He was either

This is the Cannon manufactured by
