A Gunpowder Plot.

Reports of sensational character coming from
Paris and Rio Janeiro relate to plot to blow UP
one or more of the ships of the United States naval
fleet under command of Admiral Evans during the
passage of the fleet through the Straits of Magellan,
at the southern extremity of South America.
The story appears to be tolerably we'll authenti-
Gated the discoverer of the plot having made record
of events in convincing sequence up to certain
point. 1t tells of the departure of small steamer,
laden with explosives, from northern German port
for Brazilian waters The missing link in the
count relates the transportation of the explosives
from Rio Janero to the Straits of Magellan where
the so-cal1ed plot was to have been executed.
The sensation originated in Paris and those who
have handled it have not failed to connect Japan
with the intended outrage Paris is seething with
representations of between Japan and the
United States and it is not at all unlikely that the

alleged plot may have been concocted by
excited imagination.
The United States Chief of the Bureau of Navi-
CATION discredits the story and gives sound and
sane reason for his disbelief He said it would not
be necessary for poters to seek the faraway waters
of Brazil or the Straits of Magellan for the COM
mission of an outrage of that character when it
could be executed in any port roadstead of the
United States with little danger of detection.
This is true. Terrorsts or anarchists,
Japanese could lay mines in any nearby route of
travel taken by the naval defenders of this country
and the mines would be as effective at home
abroad There is flavor of unreliability about the
portentious story that comes from Paris.

members of the polygamous religious organization
shall hold office, shall not sit uries shall not
vote.
Yet The Scimtar is able to point to many thou
sand members of that organization who hold office,
who sit on juries, who vote-al in violation of the
constitution and of the sense of morality that abides
in the Christian families of Idaho They able to
do these unlawful things because they have entered
into alliance with political party that upholds
them in domestic crime and in their violation of the
organic law of the State.
In return that party receives their votes and
through their votes few of the of the party
elected to positions of honor and profit. There
is not today man holding an official State or con-
gressona Federal place. under the jurisdiction of
the State who was elected or appointed because
he had agreed in advance that the polygamsts within
the State to be protected against the operation
of the law and the court decision by which they
outlawed.
Public opinion, blind the goddess that presides
on the throne of justice may say that Mr. KY rep
resents his State in the United States Senate in the
House of Representatives, in the executive chair be-
the constituency recognizes him statesman
of capablity in whom it reposes the confidence that
greatness inspires.
Not so. He is in the Senate, the House of Rep
resentatves the State House because he has been
able to barter away the honor and decency of the
commonwealth in a traffic in which the virtue of wo-
mankind and the sanctity of the home is the price
paid Let those who enjoy honors" of that character
have them. They are not coveted by the good citi-
zenship of the State-not while hell yawns the
other side of the life line
1t is the intention of the political organization rep
resented by The Scimtar to restore the operation of
the laws and the constitution under the decision of
the Federal Supreme Court-to enforce disfranchise-
ment against polygamsts that control the affairs
of the peopleto send to the secluson of prison cells
every who has earned punshment-to purify
the moral atmosphere of Idaho and inculcate self
respect and pride in right doing
All who believe that there wrongs to be righted
in the name of pure American government are in
vted to join in the crusade. 1t will persist until it
wins victory.

ELECT UNION OFFICERS
w. Fl. Kliver Declines Third
Terms as President
For Carpenters.

The annual election of officers for the
carpenters union of Gary was held on
Thursday night at their regular meet
ing. The officers chosen for the ensu-
ing year are: President w. w. Dicks;
vice president. Elmer Reed; recording
secretary, z. F. Fisher; financial Sec
rotary, William Wolf; treasurer, S. B..
Stewart; conductor, Henry Parnau;
warden, L. Anderson. Three officers,
auditor, trustee and delegate to the dis
trict convention, are yet to be elected.
The new president, w. w. Dicks, sue
ceeds William H. Kliver, representa-
tive-elect, who refused to run for a
third term owing to his enforced abb
sence from the city for two months dur
ing the sitting of the legislature. Mr..
Dicks, however, is a capable young
man and the union feels that its Sc
lection has been fortunate.
The annual election of officers of the
carpenters local of Gary is one of the
big events of the organization. The
union itself, No. 9S5, is now the largest
of any in the district and one of the
largest unions of any kind in the coun-
ty The carpenters have a splendid
organization in Gary and they are
growing steadily.

UNKNOWN MAN TAKEN
FROM LAKE MICHIGAN
Much Room For Speculation
AS to His Manner
of Death.
Especial to THE TIMES. }

dressed. and having apparently been in
the water but few hours. the body of
an unknown man was found in about
three feet of water on the lake front
at Pine Station early yesterday MORN
ing. The grewsome find was made by
Martin Friend, a teamster for the In
diana Harbor Lumber company. and
Ray Stultz of Clark Station. They i'm
mediately reported the case to the Har-
Dor police and the body was brought
to the Krebs and Burns undertaking
establishment yesterday afternoon
Coroner E. R. Gordon of Hobart held
his autopsy at o'clock last evening,
returning a verdict of death by
drowning" He was unable to find any
means of Identifying the victim
The body was found in a portion of
the lake that is several miles distant
from any piers, and the police believe
that he either committed suicide by
jumping from a small row boat or fell

bound ore steamers. In the pockets of
his trousers were found four cents and

May BE of Irish Percentage.
The unknown victim is a man about
| five feet six inches tall and weighs
160 pounds. He possessed a sandy
beard and had a high forehead, with
the hair slightly tinged with gray. A
man of about 40 years of age, he was
dressed in a brown suit of underwear,
covered with a pair of brown trousers
and a blue wooden shirt. One red and
one black mitten, found in a top coat
pocket will likely be the only means of

the only unusual feature of his attire.

that nation. While no one could posi-
lively identify him last evening, sew
eral persons who called at the morgue
declared that they had seen the man
about Indiana Harbor several days ago
looking for work. The police depart
ments of Gary and South Chicago have
been notified of the CHASTITY find and
Chief of Police Higgins expects to find
some of the mans relatives within the
next two days.

IDENTITY IS ESTABLISHED
Man Killed at Hegewisch
Yesterday Was John
Larson.

The body OF the man who was killed
at Hegewisch yesterday forenoon by
the orth-bound Monon passenger, due
In Hammond at 11:11, has been identi-
fed as that belonging of John Larson.
Larson is a workingman and is
known to some extent in Hegewisch,
where he has found employment occa-
sionally. He is a middle-aged man, but
was never married. His father lives in
the stock yards district. Chicago, and
will be out for the inquest, which has
been set for today.
More facts, having been gathered
about the mans death, the question as
to whether his death was intentional
is very doubtful. This is added to by
the fact that a broken whiskey bottle
was found on his person.

BRADFORD'S
CLUB ROOMS

JAMES BRADFORD has
opened a billiard hall and
bowling alleys in the build
ing formerly occupied by the
Brooks theater, corner State
and Holman streets. The
nine billiard tables and the
bowling alleys are busy
night and day. Fifty people
or so may generally be
found there. A gallery for
both men and women has
been provided. The room is
practically 100 feet deep and
80 feet wide. It is fitted,
furnished and equipped in
the best possible manner for
the uses and purposes for
which it is to be used.
Mr.. Bradford is a former
county official, and the fact
that he has friends and ac-
quaintances in every section
is bound to make the place a
big success.

ed by the newspapers of Gary and other

GARY MERCHANTS TO
HAVE A BLUE BOOK.
Customers Will Be Rated in
Order That Credit May
Be Extended.
TO Be FINISHED BY JAN. lST
Storekeepers at Regular Meeting
Yesterday Afternoon Decide
to Close on Holidays.

The executive committee of the mer-
chants association met yesterday after
noon in the club rooms of the Gary ho-
tel. After the transaction of the rout-
inc business, such as the allowance of
bills. the great credit book system.
which the merchants of Gary are about
to establish was discussed. After the
first of the year the merchants are
planning to have every resident of
Gary rated, so that they can be prop
erly handled when they come to ask
credit in purchasing goods.
1t is planned to have this book ready
for every merchant of the city by
the first of the year. The work OF
compiling the data will fall upon the
secretary who will be given reports
from every merchant in the city on
every person who trades at their store
This data will then be compiled and
the average opinion as to the standing
of persons in the community among the
merchants will be taken.
BY the use of this plan the merchants
believe that much of the money which
is lost by extending credit to ire
sponsible persons will be eliminated
When one of the merchants loses on q
creditor every merchant in the city
will know about 1t so that the same
person will not be able to cheat more
than one merchant.
The merchants of the city also an.
nounced yesterday that their store.
would be closed on Christmas and New
Years at IL O'Clock for the purpose Of
giving their employees holiday and II
| respect for the day.

There is no article of food

quality must be right;
bread of superior quality
nourishes every member

SANTA CLAUS VISITS
TWO CHURCHES EARLY
Whiting Congregations Get
Money from the
Baptists.
Especial to THE TrMEs.)

Whiting, Ind, Dec. 1.-THE Meth
odist and Congregational churches of
Whiting have unexpectedly came into
the possession of neat sums which can
be used by them in any way they see
fit.
About the first church to be organ
lied when whiting was in its infancy
was the Baptist.
This church then had an enormous
attendance and arrangements were
made to raise money with which to
erect a house of worship.
AS the churches of other creeds were
organized the attendance began to de-
crease, as the people naturally drifted
back to the churches of their own de-
nomination. Finally there were not
enough Baptists in Whiting to keep up
this church and 1t went out of exist
ence in about 1895 and has never again
been organized. p
$3.50 In Bank
At this time there was $3.50 in the
building fund and which. owing to
Whiting having no banks at that time
was deposited in a Chicago bank. The
money has remained in the bank dur
ing these thirteen years.
The finance committee was composed
of William Greatrake, u. G. Swartz, S
S. Tanner and John N Cove. The men
have held meeting to talk over the
ways and means of putting the money
to the best use and have decided tc
divide it equally between the Methodist
and Congregational churches.
The affair was not yet generally
known, but it is certain that all former
members of this church will be wei
satisfied to learn of the wise DISPOSE.

The above is the expressions of opin-
ion of the superior court matter as
many of the sober minded citizens of
Gary are looking at it at the present
time. There is no one here who ques-
lions the fact that Gary is in need of
a court and that it is entitled to one,
but there are many who are of the be-
lief that the time is still premature
and that the expenditure of money and
the waste of time in attempting to ge
1t is ridiculous.
Most of the members of the Gary Bar
association who have investigated the
matter thoroughly have come to real
ice the impracticability of the pro-
ject, but because of the clamor which
has been stirred up in the city for a
court Especially among the business
men), several of them have, until re-
Gently, been reticent in expressing their
views.
Several of the members of the central
superior court committee have sug-
gsted that the members of the judicial
committee of the legislature be brought
to Gary and shown the existing condi-
tions. If this is done, besides sending
to the next session of the legislature
a party of lobbyists, the expense to the
buiness men will be enormous. Many
in the city now think that there are
ways in which this time and money
could be expended for Gary which
would be more profitable and practi-
cable.
The question of a superior court in
Gary at the present time has simmered
down to the question of whether the
proposition is practicable at this time

fair and square In the matter with the
rest of the county, do not think that
another court should be established In
the county. The complications which
would result ON call day and In the
handling of cases would be very unde-
sirable to nearly everybody concerned.'
JUDGE ALBERT C. HUBER, Justice
of the Peaces 81 think that the at
tempt to secure the superior court in
Gary and the money which they propose
to spend to secure 1T, is foolish. If
Gary secured the court there would be
no end of trouble, as Whiting, East
Chicago and ali of the large cities of
the county would soon be asking for
courts. Gary needs 1T all right, but the
plan is impractical at the present time.r
