YVES" IS CARVED UP
Simons of Police Notoriety
Is Carved in Fracas
Last Night.

j. Wesley Simmons, who manages to
get into more fights than any other
person in the entire city of Hammond,
was engaged in a cutting scrape last
night which resulted in his being pretty
badly carved up before the fracas was
over.
Simmons was as quarrelsome as ever
when one of the Frazier boys took up
the argument. There was a fight in
which Simmons was cut on the head, on
the arm and over the eye.
He was a sorry looking sight when
he wandered into a police station in
search of doctor. The police, know
ing of simmons belligerent tactics, ar
rested him on the spot and started out
to find who was the men who had
been responsible for the affair.
When it was found that Simmons had
not killed any one he was released
and a local doctor dressed his in
juries. The police thought that the
cuts and bruises he had received were
the punishment he merited and so they
allowed him to go his way.
Owing to the fact that there was no
record of the fight made at the po-
lice station the place where the cutting
scrape is alleged to have occurred is
not known.
Witnesses, however, state that Sim
mons had his clothes cut into shreds by
the knife of his assailant. and it is
remarkable that the injuries he re-
ceived were not more serious than they
were.

TAFT'S PLURALITY
IN INDIANA l0,731
Official Result Is An
nounced by Secretary
of State.
VOTE FOR PRESIDENT 72l,l26
Returns Show Gap of 1000 Between
Durbin and Next Eleetor,
F. G. Gardner.
OFFICIAL VOTE FOR
PRESIDENT IN STATE,

The official plurality for Taft in In
diana, computed on the vote for the
first elector, William T. Durbin, as
against Adam Heimberger, the demo-
cratic elector who headed the tick
ct, will be 10,731, according to informa-
tion given out by Secretary of State
Fred A. Sims yesterday. The vote for
the first elector on the ticket is usual
ly computed as the popular vote of
the state, as many voters do not real
ize the necessity of marking the Of
fetal vote for the other electors will
not be tabulated until some time today
The official result for the first, or
top electors on the ticket, gives Will
liam T. Durbin 34s.993 votes and Adam
Heimberger 1882 Between this vote
and the vote for the second men on the
electoral list there is a difference in
favor of Durbin over his fellow repub-
lican elector of 4,795 and between
Heimberger and ]. w. Spencer, the sec
ond named democratic elector, a diff
ference of 3,579 votes. Fred c. Gard
ner, the second republican elector,
polled 334,6S3 votes
The difference between the first elc-
tor and the electors following him on
the ballot is always about l per cent
of the total vote. Many voters by the
Australian ballot system do not appre-
ciate the necessity Of marking each
succeeding elector on the ballot, as
well as the first. This is the reason
given for the difference. There is al
ways. too, some little scratching among
the electors, which may make a slight
difference between the second elector
and the electors succeeding him on the
ballot. Just what this diserence will be
in Indiana for the last election will be
determined some time today, though
it is of little interest except to the
electors themselves.

Indianapolis, Nov. 24.-Paramount in
political interest just now il the semi
official announcement that Senator Al
bert j. Beveridge Will have no Oppo-
sition within his own party when he
comes up for reelection two years
hence. The republican leaders have
agreed, 1T is declared, that Beveridge

his party. just now it looks as if the
senior senator will have clear sailing.
This decision springs from no par
ticular love for Beveridge but because
the republican leaders are anxious
above every thing else to avoid clash
and to restore harmony in the party
that has been disrupted by the recent
election. They realize that peace and
good will in the legislative session of
1911 are essential If the party is to
get into shape for a victory four years
from now. To establish order cut OF

one desire of republicans everywhere.

HAMMOND AND WEST
HAMMOND INTERESTED
Gang of Boys Across the Line Said
To Be Veritable Thieves and Steal
Everything That Is Loose In the
Vicinity Where They Live and in
Hammond.

Louis kOschalink, aged II years, one
of the students in the junk Dealers
school of crime of Hammond, Ind, was
today found to have coil upon coil of
copper wire on his person, which he de-
clared he was about TO sell to a West
Hammond junk dealer.
1t was by chance that the boy thief
of West Hammond was discovered to
have the copper loot on his person. He
had been arrested for entering the
Hammond Dairy company 245 Oakley
avenue, and stealing $3.50 in cash be-
longing TO Louis KIitzke, the proprie-
tor.
EOys Were Suspected.
1t was suspected that the robbery
might have been the work of boys, and
an investigation revealed the fact that
Louis and Joe Koschalink bad more
money than little boys ordinarily are
intrusted with
They were accordingly arrested by
Officers Einsle and Kulcyck and taken
to the police station. There they were
questioned by Captain Bunde, who no.
ticed that the boys pockets were
bulging. An Investigation revealed the
fact that the boy was a humon spool
of wire.
He did net hesitate to say that he
and his brother picked up wire wher-
ever they could find it and sold it to
the Hammond junk dealers He said
they got several cents for every batch,
such as wss found on the boy'ss per-
son.
1t appears that some one sent Louis
Koschalink to the Klitzke dairy to
get some milk. They found the door
open and entered the place. There they
noticed the cash register and following
the criminal instincts which have been
inculcated in them by the junk dealers
they opened it and took the $3.50, which
was found in the drawer
One of ThieviDg Gang.
That Louis Koschalink is one of a
gang of boys who are being taught
to steal by the junk dealers is proven
by the fact that he has already inn
plicated his brother and Joe Felix,
whom he claims stole tricycle. from
a little boy.
One of the little boys who had his
share of the $3.50 on his person stated
that he had given the money to his
mother. who he said would try to re-
turn it to the owner
