HOW To
TAKE Carl:
Of CROWD
Republicans Busy With I'm
portant Meeting and Are
Working on Problem of
How to Accommodate the
Big Crowds.

One of the hardest problems which
the Hammond republicans have had to
figure out in a long time is that of
accommodating the crowds Mt the
Michigan Central depot when the Taft
special arrives in town and the repub-
lican candidate makes his speech.
At first 1T was thought to be good
plan to simply have the rear end of
the special train, from which Mr. Taft
will speak, rest over Oakley avenue and
then let the crowd assemble on the
right of way of the railroad and hear
the speaker.
The fact was pointed out, however
that there are a number of passenger
and freight trains which pass over the
road at that time and that the lives
Of hundreds of people would be en-
dangered if a through passenger train
should run through several thousand
people while Mr.. Taft was speaking
May Leave Train.
The idea then occurred to the COM
mittee that it would be good plan to
secure a flat-topped dray wagon, and
after decorating it with flags, back II
up to the special train as soon as II
gets in, and then take Mr. Taft on il
to the rear of the federal building
only 400 feet away, where, with the
building for shelter. he could address
the crowds which would assemble or
the lawn in the rear of the federal
building.
This plan has been adopted although
it is known that the national commit
tee has issued a statement in which il
was announced that Mr. Taft would
not leave the train at Hammond

HOLD GOOD MEETING
Michigan City Entertains
e. D. Crumpacker
Last Night.

Congressman E. D. Crumpacker was
in Hammond yesterday on his way to
Michigan City, where he addressed a
large audience on the issues of the
campaign. Mr.. Crumpacker dwelt on
the record of republican party and paid
a high tribute to President Roosevelt S
administration. He described the pub
lie record of William II. Taft and said
that there was not man in the coun-
try more fit to carry out the Roosevelt
ideas.
Mr.. Crumpacker was given an en-
thusiastic reception in Michigan City
and his meeting was a success in
every particular. Mr.. Crumpacker is
one of the most popular men in public
life in this region today and his con-
stituents always rally to his support
and make it habit to listen to his
speeches every time an election comes
around.

TWO ACCIDENTS
HAPPEN LAST NIGHT
South Chicago Man Suffers a Broken
Arm and His Machine Is Crippled
When He Collides With a Bump
In the Road on His Way Home
From Hammond.

T. Shebes of South Chicago. the driv
er of one of Stevenson & Co.'S auto
trucks, had his arm broken when the
large machine which he was driving
towards Chicago late last evening ran
into a hole in the road and then into
the ditch before the driver could con-
troll it.
The accident happened in the vicinity
of Sheffield avenue and One Hundred
and Nineteenth street and occurred at
about midnight. The ditched machine
was noticed by the motorman of a red
line street car, and the injured man
was brought to Hammond on a car
and was taken to ST Margaret's hos
pital.
There it was discovered that outside
of the fractured arm Mr. Shebes had
not sustained any other injury. An of
ficer was sent to investigate the hole
claimed had caused the accident and
he found it, but he reported that there
was plenty of light near it so that
it would have been seen by a careful
driver.
was Plenty of Light There.
According to the story Shebes tells
he was driving along Sheffield avenue
in the direction of Chicago when he
suddenly ran into hole and he at
once lost control of the big machine
he was driving. II then veered off to
one side OK the road and went into the
ditch. AS soon as the driver saw what
was going to happen he jumped and in
jumping sustained the fracture of the
arm.
Sheffield avenue. which is earning the
name of The Road of Destruction" "
owing to the many automobile acci-
dents. seems to have been the scene
of another mishap last night. which If
true, is absolutely shrouded in mystery
The only facts in the case that are
known are that on the east side of the
road at place about half mile south
of the White House wheel tricks made
by an automobile going south lead into
the ditch. They go directly up to a guy
pole for the street car line and the
machine seemingly struck this post
with great force, as it is not only brok-
en- off, but the lower end also removed
about twelve feet from its base. Sucf
a tremendous force one would think
would have caused a serious accident
and possibly a fatality. At any rate
it is only reasonable to believe thai
the car would have been so badly de-
molished that it could not have beer
taken from the place by its own pow
er, but there are no clews from which
1t might be learned what the cause and
effect of the dislocation of the polio,
were. Hammond authorities know moth
ing of an automobile accident or
Sheffield avenue yesterday with the ex
ception of the big Stevenson truck o.
Chicago. which went into the ditch, bu
not at the same place where the guy
pole Is broken off
If there was another accident it hap
pened last night and no appeal for hell
came to Hammond people neither to tn,
White House which would have beer
the nearest place.

The bill introduced by Senator CALM
ger. chairman of the Distric: committee,
to regulate the employment of child labor
in the District. by order Of the Senate
was taken up for consideration and Anal
action late this afternoon. Senator Gal
linger did not take charge of the bill
himself. but gave 1t over to Senator
Dolliver. chairman of the committee on
education and labor. which reported It
favorably to the Senate about six weeks
ago..
1t was expected that the consideration
of the bill would be seriously embarrassed
by Senator Beverage of Indiana, who in
tended to propose as an amendment to 1t
his national child labor bill, to which
there is objection on both sides Of
the chamber on account of its doubt
full constitutionality. Mr.. Beverage.
however. having been assured by Mr.:
Dolliver that the committee would
give early consideration to his measure at
the next session of Congress. announced

FORAKER WILL WAIT.
Wants to See Presidents Letter OF
Brownsville Case.


An alleged letter recently written by the
President to Senator William Alden Smith
Of Michigan declaring his unchanged be-
lief in the guilt Of negro soldiers of the
18th Regiment in the shooting up of
Brownsville was the subject of a spirited
discussion In the Senate today upon the
close Of Senator Warmers speech on the
Brownsville ARRAY.
Mr.. Warner closed his speech with
comments upon his bill to authorize the
President to re-enlist the soldiers of the
25th Regiment in cases in which he be-
in the crime. The senator declared that
he had confidence in the President to act
justly in suc.i matter regardless of what
his opinion had been.
Mr.. Foraker said he would not trust
himself to act in case in which he had
made up his mind. and did not believe
any one else should do SO. He said he
had read in western paper what pur-
ported to be q statement of the contents
dent to Senator Smith Of Michigan, de-
claring that the President had not
changed his mind on the question Of the
guilt of the men. He said he did not
like to refer to such a delicate subject.
but asked Mr.. Smith IL he felt at liberty
to make the letter public.

letter the unfit state of mind of the Presi-
dent" said MIR. Foraker. ITO pass on this
matter. l do not say II in disparagment
Of him as man. No one knows better
than l what great intellectual powers he
possesses and the many attributes Of

Senator Smith replied that he had not
