Maj. Sylvester predicted the census
would show an increase of about 5000,
but returns have not yet been received at
headquarters sufficiently, to give any def
mite idea Of the result It is believed the
figures from the sixth precinct will show
a material increase over those Of last
year. At that time the police found many
vacant houses in the vicinity of the
Union station. but this year they found
that many Of them had been repaired and
were again occupied. The increase in the
precinct, 1t is believed, will amount to
more than 800.
Some precincts 1t is believed. will show
no material increase some of the officials
believing the county will show q greater
percentage Of increase than the city.

OPPOSE ALDRICH BILL.
Many Bankers Heard by the House
CURRENCY Committee

John L. Hamilton, Hoopeston, H.. for
mer president of the American Bankers
Association, was the first speaker at yes
terday afternoons session of the House
ba nking and currency committee. Speak
ing In behalf of the country bankers. he
said that the Aldrich bill is as objection
able to them as to the larger banking in
situations in the reserve cities. If this
bill became law. he said. it would be
possible for the Secretary of the Treasury
to discriminate against the country banks
He opposed the Vreeland bill. and said
he would consider it better for Congress
to do nothing than to pass that measure.
+. F. Swinney of Kansas City. arguing
for an asset currency as against bond
secured currency, cited the case of the
National Bank of Commerce of Kansas
City, which. he said. closed its doors last
fall after taking a loss Of $3O0O00 on
three million dollars worth of bonds; at
the same time 1t realized on every dollar
of its commercial paper.
Sol Wexler. vice president of the Whit
ney National Bank of New Orleans sdyO-
Gated the appointment of a currency COM
mission, and Joseph T. Tolbert president
of the Chicago Clearing House, who fol-
lowed him. said he was unable to find a
single redeeming feature in the Aidrich
bill
Charles H. Hutting of the Third Ma
tional Bank of ST. Louis said that should
the Aldrich bill become a law the injury
to the banking and commercial interests
would be greater than during the recent
panic. He thought the true solution OF
the problem would be the appointment of
a commission.

represent in the bill. but / can also see
In 1t ruination and damnation for the ma
tional banking system declared Mr.. Fes-
tus j. Wade president of the Mercantile

the Vreeland or Aldrieh measure becomes
law, 1t will be impossible to keep the
financial question out Of politics next

Z. D. Page of the Merchants Associa-
Sion of New York opposed the Aldrich
bill. w. V. Cox OF this city also opposed
che Aldrich bill. Fred W. Upham. presi-
citation. and Levi Mayer, attorney for the
association, spoke against the Aldrich bill
% behalf of the manufacturing interests
~ Illinois. Mr.. Mayer quoted statistics
- prove his assertion that the La Fol
totte amendment IL II became law,
would bar one million business men from
serving as directors of national banks.
Finley Acker of the Traders League OF
Philadelphia characterized the Aldrich
bill as a breeder of financial panics rather
than as a preventer Of panics. Announce
Ing House and the Chamber Of Commerce
of that city had passed resolutions vigor-
ously opposing this legislation.
Particular attention was paid by men,
bers of the committee at the afternoon
session to the VreeIand bill and this
measure was generally condemned by the
different speakers.

PICNIC A BIG SUCCESS
Lake County Odd Fellows
Association Holds Annual
Outing at Hobart.

Hobart. Ind. Aug. 14.-(Special)-
The third annual picnic of the Lake
County Odd Fellows association, held
here yesterday, was a complete sue
cess. The heavy rain of the night be-
fore settled the dust and finer weather
could not have been asked for Large
crowds came in on all trains and the
Nickel Plate special brought in about
200 people. The music furnished BY
Barnie Young's band was greatly en-
joyed by all. A full house enjoyed the
dance held in Strattan's opera house
in the evening.
What was beyond a question of a
doubt the best game of ball seen in
Hobart for a long time was played yes
terday at the Odd Fellows picnic be-
tween the Maroons and Lowell team
Considerable hitting was done, but
very few errors made. The home team
had been strengthened for the occa-
sion and the teams were very evenly
matched, but the Maroons got the ad-
vantage in the first inning and the
Lowell boys were unable to take it
away. The score:
Hobart ..........2 0 IS
Lowell ...........1 0 %

MASONS HAVE A BAND
Whiting Secret Society Will
Blow It's Own Horn
Very Shortly.

Whiting. Ind. Aug. 14.-(Special.)-
An innovation introduced by the Ma
sons of Whiting Is meeting with the
approval of every one in this city.
The Masons will soon introduce a
fine brass band to the citizens, only
those being members of the order COM
prising it,
DR.. G. $. Hilliard has been chosen as
drill master. Henry Beaubien as bust
ness manager, and Professor George c.
Hay, who is known for his excellent
musical ability all through Indiana, as
director.
The band will consist Of twenty -four
members and will include the best
musical talent of the city.
Whiting has had several excellent
bands, but for some reason or another
they have always broken up, but the
present body of men, all of whom are
known for their stick to- -iveness, -
are bound to make it a go and also
make it the best we have ever had.
Not great deal can be done in the
way of practice until after September.
owing to the various members taking
their vacation.

JAIL DELIVERY At
GARY PREVENTED
Joseph Ford Caught With
Possession of Eight-inch
Steel Saw.

Through the discovery Of a little
steel saw eight inches long and a quar-
ter of an inch wide in the cell of Jo-
seph Ford. alias John Grant, who is
being held in Gary on charge of
forgery. a Jail delivery was prevented
Joseph Ford is the man who was
captured while in the act of passing a
forged check in the saloon of woman
by the name of Mandy in South Gary
He was afterwards found to be bad
customer and is wanted by Captain p
d. O'Brian of the Chicago police depart
ment.
OBrian says that Ford is wanted for
embezzlement and forgery but the Gary
authorities say they have such a case
against him that they will keep him in
Gary and have him sent to the Indiana
penitentiary for his crime.
Some men who were being held in an
adjoining cell happened to see the lit
tie saw which Ford had and they noti-
cell was then made and the saw was
discovered in little crack in the floor.
Asked to Stay In Gary Jail.
Ford had just asked to be allowed to
stay in the Gary jail for three days
more before being compelled to go to
Crown Point where he was to be held
pending his trial in the superior court
and it is believed that in these three
days he proposed to saw the bars of his
cell and escape.
The police are anxious to know how
the saw could have been passed to the
prisoner and they are going to keep
closer watch on the jail. The recent
escape of Dan Ryan from the Tolleston
Jail and of a prisoner from the East
Chicago Jail indicates that there is
either an associate to aid in the re-
! lease OF prisoners or the jailers over
the county are rather careless.

STILL A FUGITIVE
Citizens of Toleston Offer a
$50 Reward For Capture
of Missing Man.

Up to this time the Gary or Toles-
ton police have been unsuccessful in
picking up the fugitive from justice,
Dan Ryan, who escaped from the Toll
eston Jail a few hours after he had
been bound over TO the superior court
by Judge Townsley. Reports came
into the station several times today
that the man had been seen and the
police hurriedly followed up the clew.
but the trail did not prove to be very
hot in either case.
Reward Offered for Arrest.
The citizens of Toleston are offer
ing twenty Ave dollars reward for the
mans arrest and it is believed that
he will be caught before many hours
All morning this morning and far into
last night the search was continued by
the posse. together with the police. 1t
is not thought that the man has made
a getaway from this section of the
country as he probably would have
been picked up by the police in some
of the adjoining cities as a suspect, as
the man is of uncouth appearance
aside from the fact that he was hat
less and without coat.
Police Looking For Him.
The police of all the surrounding
cities have been notified to be on the
| lookout for the man. and the drag
net has been made as complete as pos

greater efforts in locating the man. 1t
