This kansas" story is printed by the
New York Press: "A visitor from Kan
sas, one of the industrious lords of the
Great West, attended swell reception
the other night, and on the following day,
recuperating in the Railroad club, was
asked by friend: George, what most
impressed you? You say it was youu
first hitch-up with the creme da la creme
Of New York society. The Weserner
replied, with true Western hankness:
To tell the naked truth, what interested
me most was the necks Of the women.
Why, some of the necks saw last night

Unless somebody gets busy there
will be a lack of precinct commit.
teemen in both political parties
this year. Under the terms of the
primary law committeeman must
be elected on primary day. To be
a candidate for committeeman if is
necessary to file petition with
the county clerk not later than
June 18th, bearing the signatures
of not less than ten per cent of the
party vote in the precinct. Since
this petition business is a whole
lot of work and the Office of com
mltteeman means trouble with no
salary attached it is not probable
that people will be hunting the
job. The petition" business was
very much overworked by the
trainers of that primary law.

The Kansas primary law is a
compromise measure and it dis
eliminates in favor Of certain can
didates. The anti-pass law is a
compromise measure-it discrimi-
mates in favor of thevery people the
law should strike. The freight
rate laws are all compromise meas
ures and are of no force to the gen.
eral public. And so on down the
line. When factions in legislatures
begin to compromise the people
get no relief.

The primary law in Oregon has
brought about a peculiar situation.
If the members of the Legislature,
which is overwhelmingly republi-
can, live up to their ante-election
obligations they will be compelled
to elect democrat U. S. senator.
And yet with this newly discovered
evidence there are those who will
still stand out and deny the efficacy
OF a direct primary.

NAMES NOT IDENTICAL
Gary Mystery Found to Be
More Puzzling Than
Ever Today.

The theory which was advanced in
Gary that the Macedonian who lost
the suit case and the empty money
pouch and the insane foreigner who
asked Attorney Clarence Bretsch to
recover ssO.o0O,O0O which he had in the
bank and lost, is found to be wrong.
according to the attorney. The name
which the insane man gave him and
the name on the letters addressed to
the man who owned the suit case, are
not identical.
The circumstances, however, of the
two cases have so many features which
tend to point to the fact that they are
the same men that the authorizes have
not given up hop ethat this is the man
they are looking for. If it is not, then
the police will be enveloped in as deep
a mystery as when the suit case and
the money pouch were first found.
Chief Martin still thinks that the
owner of the suit case has been robbed
and that he had considerable money
in his possession al the time. The
work of translating the letters, which
were found in the suit case, will most
likely begin today.

SENATOR BEvER|DGE
IN GARY OCT. "a
Last Big Republican Rally

As an orator he is probably the
greatest in the country. and he has
been in such great demand over the
whole of the United States that he has
spoken in but few places in Indiana.
The determination of the Gary re-
publicans to get out a big crowd on
the occasion of the visit of Senator
Beveridge will afford him an opportun-
ity to speak to large audience.
Crowds from other Cities.
1t is expected that there will be
large numbers of people from Hobart

ecutive committee in Gary, was made

rangements. and he and live crowd OF
workers will leave nothing undone to
make the meeting a great success.
The meeting will occur only a little
over a week before the election, and
it is considered all important that il
should be made success. Gary is now
conceded by both the republicans and
the democrats to be republican, but the
workers over there realize the danger
of over-confidence and will work as

School Boys.

Captain Halpin of the South Chicago
police station has instructed his Off
GERS to be on the lookout for the whole
sale killing of song birds by boys in
the vicinity of Cheltenham and Windsor

The matter was also taken up with
the principals of the various schools

ing the past two weeks numerous COM
plants have come in from the property

in that district. An order will be is
sued in the schools that no more slung-

Function Last Night.

For the Good of South Chicago"
was the theme that ran through many
able addresses that We're made last
night at an informal smoker given by
the South Chicago Business Mems as
scciation in Lincoln hall. The only re-
grettable feature of the evening was
the appearance of the president,
of the State Association of Business
men. He was detailed owing to the
organization ofanother club in the
southern part of the state. His abb
sence was not permitted to long
dampen the feeling of good fellowship
that was prevalent. About $50 of the
evening.
Prominent among the speakers for
the evening were Dr. A. L. Blackw wood

JIJ[)GE:
SCORES
JOHNSON
Gary Gambler and Colored
Saloon Man Gets His from
Justice Fitzgerald, Who
Binds Him Over to Lake
Superior Court.

For the first time in the history of
Justice court a prisoner was bound
over to the superior court on a charge
of assault and battery. The victim Of
this unusual case was none other than
Dave johnson, the king pin of the
colored men and proprietor of dis
reputable house at Gary. Judge Fitx-
gerald stated that the reason that he
bound him over was that he did not
hive the power to fine him all that
he would like to, so would place him
In the tender mercies of the upper
court.
Beat Up Foreigner
The testimony was that Mr.. johnson
had numerically beat up a foreigner
and negro by the name of Smiley who
We're drinking at his bar. He charged
that the latter were attempting to steal
some money from a colored man. This
was 50 and was in the shape of bill
of that denomination. This. he saws
was passed from the foreigner to the
negro and that as he noticed it he
asked that it be given back to the
rightfulf owner.
In defense of this the negro claimed
that he received the money for the
purpose of changing it and his state
ment was verified. During the course
of the testimony it developed that
Johnson is now selling liquor over his
bar the fight which resulted in the
assault and battery charge probably
resulting in the most reprehensibIe
manner, and some attempt by the au-
thorities should be made to close it IN.
Sent to Higher Court
In giving his decision to send the
case to the superior court, Judge Fitz-
gerald arraigned Johnson in the most
severe manner. He stated that he
ought to be prosecuted for selling Ii
quor without a license for running a
disreputable house and for allowing
gambling in his place. He was cen
sured and criticised in the most Cruel
ing manner and none who heard the
remarks of Judge Fitzgerald felt that
they were not justified.
