TAFT PREDICTS
BREAK IN SOUTH
Guarantees Prosperity and
Says no Old Wounds
Will Be Opened.

New York, Dec. without threats
but with promises. the breaking of the
solid south was predicted tonight by
William Howard Taft, president-elect
of the United States. in his first New
York banquet speech since election.
He was talking as guest of the
New York Society of the State of North
Carolina in the Hotel Aston ballroom.
Many southern states were repre-
scented and if they had helped to make
him president the reception could not
have been more enthusiastic. Mr. Taft
approached his ticklish subject diplo-
matically In fact, his train mates on
the train from the Virginia Hot Springs
declared that the speech had been thrice
rewritten.
Deplores Sectional Lines.
Prosperity in the north is accom-
panied by prosperity in the south, and
a halt in the one means a halt in the
other. Northern people meet southern
people and find them friendly and
charming and full of graceful and
grateful companionship.
What 1t is that sets the south apart
and takes from the southern people
the responsibilities which the members
of republic ought to share in respect
to the conduct OF the national govern
ment? Wry is it that what is done
at Washington seems to be the work
of the north and west and not of the
south? Should this state of affairs con-
| tinue2
We can answer these questions as
the historian would and we can ex-
plain the situation as 1t is, but I don't
think we can justify or excuse a con-
tinuance of it. Looking back into the
past, of course, the explanation of the
difference between the south and the
other two sections was in the institu-
| ton of slavery.
| 1T doesn't help in the slightest de-
gree in the present day to stir up the
embers of the controversy of the past
by attempting to fix blame on one part
of the country or the other in respect
to an institution which has gone, and
happily gone, one the one hand, or in
respect to the consequences of that in
stitution which we still have with us
on the other"

FEW MEMBERS FIND TIME
TO ATTEND LUNCHEON.
Gary Real Estate board Held Monthly
Meeting Yesterday and En-
joyed Banquet.

The monthly luncheon of the Gary
Real Estate board at the Gary hotel
was poorly attended last evening and
there were only nine of the forty mem
bers present. The meeting was the
regular thirty day social session, but it
was expected that the matter of the es-
tablishment of a superior court at Gary
would come up for consideration.
President Fitzgerald was in Ham
mond attending the meeting of the Lake
ounty Bar association and there were
others of the members absent, and so
the matter was only discussed infor-
mally.
There was no action taken as there
was not a quorum present and the mat
ter will probably not come up until the
next meeting of the board.

WILL BE THE GREAT
WHITE WAY" OF GARY
City Dads Plan to Have More Lights
Placed on NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Arc
Light To he Placed In Each Block.

Bary's Broadway is to get the Great
White Way of the new steel city. 1t
was decided by the city officials to have
an electric arc street light between the
blocks as well as on the street corners.
This decision was arrived at partly
because the blocks are long and partly
because the street is so wide that it
needs more city Illumination than
would ordinarily be provided to make
it as light as Gary's principal street
should be-
From Fourth avenue to Eighteenth
avenue there will be an arc light every
225 feet, and it is expected that this,
with the illumination of the stores on
the street, will make Indiana's Broad
way brilliant.

A complaint against the telephone
company was lodged last night by Of
ficer Jurics of the police force, who re-
ported to hief Martin that he could
not secure an answer to the call which
he had tried to make during the night
for ten minutes. With the police, the
necessity of prompt service is absolute
ly essential as they may be reporting
a fire or a crime which needs immediate
attention.
Juric said that last night he took the
receiver from the phone and held it
to his ear for ten minutes without get
ting a reply from central. The police
have reported inefficient service for sew
eral nights in succession.
