"A HOT LINER THAT CAN'T BE SToPPED''
WARM ARGU MENT
 IN CALHOUN CASE

San Francisco, June 14-John G. O'Gara, assistant prosecutor in the bribery trial of Patrick Calhoun, had submitted one half of the argumentative case against the president of the United Railroads to- day, when his address before the jury was concluded at the end of an entire court session.
 MT. OGaras address was a dispassion- ate review of testimony offered during the last two months by scores of wit nesses. In reviewing Fords alleged con- nection with Abraham Ruef and the brib- cry of the supervisors in 1906 he said
 Why did not Tirey L. Ford come here and hold up his right hand and sw ear that he was not guilty of paying this fund of $200,0OO to Ruef?"
 This is assigned as misconduct on the part of the prosecution" said Stanley Moore of the defense interrupting. He knows that MT. Ford has been here and could have been called by his side as a witness"
 A spirited argument involving the legal right of the prosecution to make such d reference ensued and Judge Lawler dis regarding repeated protests, directed Mir. O'Gara to proceed. MT. O'Gara continued:
 There is nothing courageous or chiv- alrous in the crime which this record has exposed. What does it all amount to? Simply that Patrick Calhoun wanted an overhead trolley franchise; that 1t meant more money in his pockets to se- cure one that the earthquake and fire gave him the opportunity, and that he promptly made his arrangements with Abraham Ruef. Ruef, in turn, made his arrangements with his tools-the super visors.
 Why did Mir Calhoun offer to take this overhead project to the supervisors after he had failed to win the support of the committees of business men?
 "Was 1t not because he knew, as oth CT men, that the red flag of the auctneer was flying over the city hall and that Abraham Ruef was ready to sell any and all of the privileges that the city oWned?'

Gibraltar, June 14-The North German Iloyd steamer Princess Irene arrived here this afternoon, having on board the first class passengers of the Cunard steamer Slavonia. which ran ashore on the night of June 10, on Flores island, one of the Azores group. The Slavonio sailed for New York on June and met fair wealth. CT until nearing the Azores, when fog set in She was under a good head of speed when she struck rock off Flores island The water rushed in and in an incredibly short time flooded the hold and reached the engines. The passengers were awakened by the shock and ffocked out on the decks It was then about 2;30 O clock in the morning. Those of the first and second cabins behaved admirably, but the steerage passengers showed 3 good deal of excitement.
 The officers of the ship did everything possible to reassure the passengers and the band played popular airs. A call for help was sent out by wireless, which was responded to by the Princess Irene, out long before her arrival on the scene the Slavonia's own boats landed the pas sengers The Princess Irene which reached the Slavonia later on, Thursday

Norfolk June 14.-Packed in piano boxes and evidently ready for shipment a quantity of rifles and ammunition, be- lived to be destined for Venezuelan rev. olutionists, was discovered at Franklin, Va, today.
 The rifles are believed to be part of the 15,O00 Mauser weapons shipped from New York to St. Louis, from whence they were shipped to Franklin, billed as pianos and packed to weather the trip to South America The flibuster suspect steamer Narticoke was lying near Franklin, and in the Black Water river, below the steamer, was her consort, the tug Des- patch.
 The revenue cutter Pamlico is block ading the two suspects and 1t is not believed that either could pass her even in the darkness, although there were per- sistent rumors that an attempt would be made to get away Orders have been issued from Washington to take prompt action in case the steamer should lift anchor
 The Nanticolxe is not built for deep sea navigation, but the Despatch could navi- gate far off shore, and the officers in charge of the situation believe that the plan of the filibusters was to transfer the arms to another steamer at sea

Het7in Is Best Dressed
 Man Or Floor or House

Washington, June 14-(Special)- )--In a very attractive cotton suit Representa- tive Hef1in of Alabama was admitted to be the best dressed man on the floor of the House today. He wore a suit made of Alabama cotton. The coat is a double breasted sack and the vest is of creamy mercerized cotton. The shoes and hat are also made of cotton. The suit is the color of rich cream and the Alabama rep resentatve says that it Is the most com fortable, as well as the cheapest sum- mer suit that he has worn in a long time Many of the members gathered about MT. Heflin this morning, admiring his cotton outfit, and no less than two dozen members announced their determi- nation to have suits Of this character made, and Baltimore firm has been requested to furnish samples. MT. Hefiin says every southern member ought to wear cotton clothes from April to Sep tember; that they are the cheapest and best and when made up properly are as nice looking goods as you want, and ne urges that by wearing and exploiting cot ton goods that we help In a practical way the cotton industry of the south.

committee in putting duty on cotton ties and bagging. The senator from Georgia says the duty on bagging alone costs the south about S5,0OOOo0. For one he is willing to stay in Washington until the dog days if by doing so he can obtain a reduction. He had just con- eluded reading the newspaper report Of the action of the Senate finance commit tee with reference to the portions of the tariff bill which had remained unacted upon yesterday.
 ''I observe" he said, that the com mittee has placed a tariff on hides, and also on cotton bagging and cotton ties. We of the south are not so much con oerned about the duty on hides, but New England need not think that she caa tax our people on ties and bagging without hearing from us. So far, we have re- maned very quiet in the present con test but unless I am much mistaken the democratic senators will be heard from from this time on. The duty on oaggtng alone will cost our people at least S6,Jrt,- GOO year and we will not submit with out protest"

 Apparently the gigantic plot of Cas- tro's supporters for the overthrow of the opponents of the exiled president was verified by the discovery of the Mausers at Franklin.
 Whether the entire supply of rifles reached Franklin or the filibustering steamers were waiting for the arrival of other piano boxes from St. Louis is not known.
 The Mauser rifles and the ammunition were shipped first from Belgium to New York, the state department claims by Castro's agents, and several days ago the rumored plot to send them west and from there back to the South Atlantic coast for shipment to revolutionists was reported at Washington, and general or ders were sent out to watch for suspicious craft.

 Die From Wounds.

Meadville, Miss, June 1.-Two men are dead. two were perhaps fatally wounded, and two others slightly In jured in a bloody street battle here this afternoon, waged by parties to a bitter feud that had been previously marked with tragedy As result of the affair feeling here runs high and state troops were rushed to Meadville from Brook haven tonight to guard against possi- bility of rioting.

Two men, named Boyd and Parr alleged to havel been involved in the affray, were slightly wounded. but escaped and have not been captured.
 l.. P. Prichard, brother of Cornelius Prichard, whom Dr. Newman killed seven weeks ago, was arrested and charged with compllcity in the tragedy.
 The killing of Prichard by Newman was the first bloodshed to mark a feud that had existed between the two men relatives and friends, for months. This bitter factionalism had its inception in political campaign in which Newman and Prichard were opposing candi- 1 dates. Newman was tried few weeks ago for Prichard's murder and was ac- quilted. This served to arouse even more bitter feeling among the relatives and friends of Prichard and the New man family, and faction
 Today's fight occurred almost on the same spot where Prichard was slain. Apparently Newman was first fired upon, as he was passing the Butler buliulng in his buggy. The shot came from one of the rooms on the second floor of the building. It failed to take effect and Newman, jumping from his buggy. rushed to the front of the building, drawing his pistol. 1t is as- serted, in the meantime.
 It Is claimed that as Newman reached the sidewalk he was attacked by Rev holds and Applewhite. Sons of Dr. Newman, who were nearby, rush ed to the scene and engaged in the duel
 Numerous volleys were exchanged but 1t is apparently a matter of doubt as to who fired the fatal shots.

velous porgress being made in the con-
struction of this new city that was born
to greatness less than three years ago.
In less than four years more it should
have population Of 100, 900 inhabitants.
The natural advantages and central po-
sition of Gary mark it for all time as
the most available location for manu-
facturies on the American continent.
Midway between the Atlantic and the
Pacific, the northern lakes and the
gulf, connected by rail- and water with
the commerce of the world, nothing can
stop the development of industrial en-
terprises OF the grandest magnitude at
this point And there will be demand
for homes and business locations that
will mean fortunes quick and sure to
the fortunate holders Of realty in this
spot that great and powerful indus
trial corporation is determined to make
a great city
The main street, 100 feet wide, with
twenty-foot sidewalks, is called Broad
way and divides the town into east and
west. This street leads from the resi-
dence district on either side up to the
steel mills. There will be two parks,
one on each side of Broadway, eight
or ten blocks in extent. There will also
be two excellent school houses. All
sales of land on Broadway are made
with the sole purpose of building the
town in most substantial manner.
Discerning men some three years ago
recognized the great possibilities that
lay in real estate investments surround
ing Gary. Especially was the great
future of dock property and real estate
located in the vicinity of Broadway
apparent to them, and they were not
slow to seize upon these opportunities.

small industries, which have already
made applications for sites. will locate
in this city and increase the popuIa-

tate. As stated before in the TIMES
there have been over one HUNDRED
small industries who have sought to
locate in this city, and many of them
will secure location in the course of
few months.
Gary therefor ends the old year with
a brilliant record, and a still more re-
markable future before her Looking
forward to the new year Of 1909, one
can discern many important develop

welfare of the city. Among them are
the advancement of Gary from a town
to the dignity of a city, with more
than double its present population, the
steel plant in practically full operation,
but still continuing their construction
work, the great advance in real estate
values and many other pleasant proba-

will help to make the day as bright
