the officer by the station agent Of the

DAIRY HANDS
Especial to THE T1MEs.l

East Chicago, Ind, Oct. 1.-THE city
stables In East Chicago bear the APP
pearance these days of fiourishing
milk dairy During the past few days
no less than seventeen cows have been
stabbed there, all of them picked up by
the police and driven to the city hall
grounds to be taken care Of Incident
ally two fines have been administered
against owners OF the cows and war
rants are out for the balance of the
infringers of the ordinance forbidding
the free ranging 81 stock within the
city limits.
A part of the time all of the seven
teen cows were in the stable together
and everybody available including the
firemen and some of the police officers
had to be pressed into service to milk
the animals.
There has been more or less good
natured grumbling among the boys in
blue about their unaccustomed job, but
they have gotten more or less sport out
of the occupation after all and all the
milk they could drink
The condition is the result Of cam
paign entered into by Mayor De Briae
and Chief of Police Higgins for the
purpose of abating the nuisance where
| by cows and horses are allowed to roam
at will over the lawns and in gardens
of citizens in all localities.
! The owners who were fined by Mayor
| De Briae are Peter Oswego. of 144tr
street and Olcott avenue. and John Rep
ko, of 143rd street The fee charge
for getting the cows out of pound Is

campaign against offenders will be
prosecuted with the utmost vigor and
no one will be allowed to escape. Some

STILL ON ANXIOUS SEAT
Names Of Those Indicted by
Grand Jury Not Yet
Revealed.

While the report from Crown Point
is to the effect that sixty-three men in
Gary and three in Hammond have been
indicted by the grand jury at Crown
Point for conducting blind pigs and for
other offenses, it Is impossible at this
time to give the names of those who
have been caught in Prosecuting Attor-
ney Charles f. Greenwald's net. Their
names will not be known until the war
rants for their arrest are served by the
sheriff

dictments have been returned against
the Gary saloon keepers who have re-
fused to close their places Of business
even after the George H Deuel. remon-
STRANGE became a fact Mayor Knots

1t Is rumored that two of the Gary
city officials have been indicted in con

made recently by a man by the name
of Caldwell, who alleged that these Of
1cials had received bribe money.
The work OF the grand jury is not yet

HAS S|CORA
WITHDRAWN
FROM RACE?
Especial to THE TrMEs.)

East Chicago, Oct, 1.-THE latest de-
velopment in the political situation in
East Chicago seems to be the with
drawal of Mike Scora from the race
for the mayoralty. This has not been
confirmed, but a well-defned rumor to
that effect has been circulated today
and yesterday.
Mr. Sicora gave it out last week that
he was out for the Office of chief ex-
ecutive, and 1t was alleged that he had
said he was out to beat Joe Wleklinslki.
1t was thought at that time that his
candidacy would have he effect of in
juring WIeklinski, and helping Sch
Ticker. Developments have proved. how
ever, that the contrary would be the
case Sicora being a Slav, he would
have little effect as a magnet to draw
away from Wleklinski's following
which is strongest among the Poles. on
the other hand Schlieker has already
a strong following in Slavish circles
and Sicora's candidacy would therefore
take from Schlieker's strength in this
element of the voting population.
Whether or not this fact had any
thing to do with Sieora's withdrawal
is only a matter of conjecture, but
there is no doubt that if he has with
drawn. the effect wiz be beneficial 70
the regular republican ticket
An effort was made this morning ia
see Sicora. but he was not in his place
of business. so it was Impossible to
confirm the report that he has with
drawn.

BASC()[E: IS
RAISED FOR
FIRST TINE
Pennsylvania Bridge Lifted
After Showing Balky Dis
position in the Past, and
Dredge Passes Through
Need Sandsucker Next.
Especial to THE T1MEs)

Indiana Harbor. Ind, Oct. 1.-THE
Pennsylvania railroads new bascule
bridge across the c~nal was raised for
the first time last Saturday. The road
has had considerable trouble with this
bridge since its completion. a number
OF previous attempts to raise it hav-
ing proved Intellectual. The officials
were afraid the bridge was too close
to the abuttment. so some of the con-
crete was cut away on one side.
The bridge was raised for the first
time in the morning and the pile driv-
er belonging to the Great Lakes Dredge
& Dock company attempted to pass
through. but there were a number of
piles driven underneath the bridge
which were not deep enough to permit
the pile driver to pass over.
The craft was then partially disman-
tied, which lightened her sufficiently to
allow her to pass over the sunken piles,
and in the afternoon the bridge was
raised again and she passed through
and went to work reinforcing the
abuttments on the opposite side of the
bridge.
Just as soon as the big sand sucker
dredge. which is at work near the
Lake Shore bridge. completes her job
there she will be brought through and
down the canal to the Terminal tracks
This is expected to occur early this
week.

GET INTO
ACTON FOR
LAST SIEGE
Lull Which Precedes Storm
Is About Passed and the
Fight Henceforth Will
Be Fierce and Exciting
Roumanians Meet.

1t is believed that the lull which
precedes the storm of political cam
paign has about passed and that the
various candidates engaged in the Gary
controversy win begin active work this
week. During the past week, except
for the republican primary on Monday
there has been little political activity
except for a few meetings mostly of
minor Importance.
It is believed that the dance given
by the Young Mems First Ward Re
publican club will probably be the
means of tanning the smoldering fame
and from that time forward until cleo
ton day 1t will be fierce and excit-
ing At this dance all of the republi-
can candidates will be present and give
talks to the assemblage. probably be-
tween several of the dances. Much
interest has been taken in this event
by the young men of the city especially
and by the way the have been working
for the success of the event a great
crowd should be present.
Saturda night a republican meeting
was held in Petrovic's hall, 1927 Wash
ington street where the Roumanians
of the city gathered to hear the repub-
Iican candidates for office The hall was
packed to the doors and long before
the meeting opened no standing room
was left John Brennan, the republi-
can candidate for mayor, and mum
Der Of other candidates for office adj
dressed the gathering and were heart
lily cheered.
Many Of the meeting OF various ma
tionalities have been booked for the
south end later in the week. which viii

900 of Focolowskis countrymen from
nearby Hungarian settlement attacked
the policeman. Captain Kerns and
Tngineer Ritchie dragged policeman
and prisoner into the engine house at
Ninety-hfth street and Cottage Grove

were Fastening TO the scene Kerns and
Ritchie kept the mob out with a fire

The mob. keeping a respectful dis
