TAMMANY WANTS To GOBBLE
OUR GOVERNOR FOR THE FOURTH

indianapolis. Ind. May 17.-Tam-
many sees the handwriting on the wall
and is getting ready to gobble up Gov
eernor Marshall if it can. The govern
or has received an invitation from
Tammany, in New York, to be the
Fourth of July orator at the celebra-
tion by that organization this year,
but he has not yet given any answer.
The invitation came Saturday evening
and is signed by Richard Croker. Chas.
Muryh and Patrick McCarren. the
members of the committee appointed to
make the arrangements.
The invitation is a result of the hit
that Governor Marshall made with his
speech at the banquet of the Nation
al Democratic club in New York a few
weeks ago. Charles Murphy was there
and so was Pat McCarren. Murphy is
the head of Tammany and McCarren
is the political boss of Brooklyn. While
Marshall was speaking at the banquet,
so the story goes. Murphy leaned over
and said something to McCarrep. 1t
is believed that he said something like
this:

Mutilated Body of Well
Dressed Foreigner Found
by Gary Police Officer as
He Walks Along Pennsyl-
vania Right of Way.
WAS EVIDENTLY
STRUCK BY FREIGHT.
Coroner Has Been Notified and Iden-
tifcation is Thought to be Easy, as
Victim Carried Considerable Cor
respondence in His Pockets-Ap-
pears to be a Servian.

The finding of the body of an un-
known man on the tracks Of the Penn
sylvania railroad at Gary this morn
ing gives the local police another mys-
terry to solve.
This morning at o'clock, while Of
ficer Peter Juric was crossing the
Pennsylvania railroad ner Broadway,
he noticed blood on the tracks and,
walking down the right of way, he
saw the body of a man who had been
run over by train and horribly mang
led. officer Juric went to the nearest
telephone and after notifying the local
police station he telephoned to Coroner
E. r. Gordon of Hobart. The remains
were taken to Jones morgue.
The dead man appears to be a Serv-
ian by birth and is welI-dressed. having
clean shirt and collar and new shoes.
His suit is also comparatively new. The
man is about 25 to 80 years old and
weighs las pounds. 1t is expected that
the mans identity will be learned as
there is a bundle of letters and papers
in his pockets. No search was made of
his clothes until the arrival of Coro-
ner Gordon, who will hold the inquest
this afternoon at Jones morgue.
1t is thought the man was killed by
enc of the fast freights on the Penn
sylvania early this morning. The po-
lice scout the theory that he might have
been murdered and placed on the track
afterward. The top of the mans head
was cut off, as also is his right foot.

THE NOTED STRANG
MAKES ROOT GASP
Crown Point Manufacturer
Has a Hair Raising
Experience.
GREAT AUTOIST GOES SOME
D "A. Root of the County Seat Enter
tains the Town With His
Experience.

Crown Point Ind, May 1S.-Some
good stories are being circulated in
town about D. A. Root and his au-
tomobile experiences of late 1t seems
that previous to last Saturday Mr.. Root
was as good and careful driver as
could be found in this neck of the
woods and tag dev never came around
as far az accidents were concerned with
the lumDerman.
Saturday. however, Louis Strang, the
noted driver, came out to do a little
road work on the course and Mr. Root
was invited to take a spin with the
speed demon. Mr.. Root doesn't know
just how long it took to go around the
course, for there was too much hang
ing on to do much time taking. and al
though he cautioned Strang every hf-
teen feet that there was an awful preci-
pice in the road ahead. he has no recol-
lection of striking any Of the low
places.
1t didn't take the two any longer to
circle the speedway than it does the
lumberman to sell a bundle of shingles,
and after duly arriving at Crown Point
Mr. Root essayed to do a few strange
and unusual things, as far as he is
concerned, with his own Buick machine
The garage o. the lumberman is the
kind you can drive right through, pro-
vding the doors are open on both ends
but on Saturday the south doors Were
securely padlocked which fact. how
ever, did not stop Mr.. Root from send
ing the machine through the place
where the door would have been hac
his machine no embraced it too low
ingly
Two hours were taken separating tn,
pieces of Buick from the pieces of barn
| and if Mr.. Root was not a lumbermaI
! the south side of the barn, badl,
wrecked, would figure up into quite
neat little lumber bill to the averag,
mortal Crown Pointers are now bus,
figuring whether Mr.. Root or the ma
chine was to blame-whether he wa
doing a little indoor practicing with
view to entering the races next month
or whether the pace he previously wen
with Strang around the course got int
his blood and made him imagine h
was driving a go-devil himself. Nj
Root hasn't offered any explanations
but he says Strang went some"

TWIN CITIES WILL EACH
HAVE A LIBRARY BUILDING

funds OF the city, the percentage re-
quired by law for the maintenance of
a public library. But East Chicago
should not enjoy all the benefits. My
idea is that Indiana Harbor should be
given the same privileges as is East Chi
cago. It's library room should be
equipped with books the same as that
of East Chicago. Half of the books
purchased with the money raised for
this purpose should be sent to Indiana
Harbor, and the other half should be
kept here. librarian should be en-
gagged to look after both branches and
eventually the two Libraries might be
merged into one. When the two towns
have grown together, as they will do
shortly in the natural course of events.
a library building might be erected on
site convenient to both towns, and the
two Libraries now proposed could be
continued as branches of the main In
stitution. OF course, this is all in the
future but there is good reason to be-
lieve it will one day be a fact"
The friends of some of the young
girls who worked hard and accomplish
ed much on tag day. complain that these
We're not given due credit for their
work. The girls include Misses Flor
ence and Edna Mickey, Alta Specter,
Flossie Pickard. Celia Cohen. Pearl For
aker, Nellie Scott, Callie Whitmore and
Edith Evans.
All of the foregoing worked faith
fully and with splendid results in the
interests of the library. Misses Mary
Helen Davis and Agnes Reed conceived
the fine idea of clothing themselves in
! policemen's coats with star attached, to
give them the authority to ride on ali
street cars free of charge, and lend
| impressiveness to their demands. Chief
| Higgins peeled off his official coat
with its gold star. and donated its use
to the cause, while Miss Reed was con
| tent to wear a seargeant's coat, and
with officer John Thompson as philos-
/ opher. guide and friend, they sailed

up for the Fourth Of July spiel when
we shoot of the fireworks and burn
the red fire. He'll set en- afire with
his hot ones. Say, Pat amt he got the
fine line all right"
And McCarren probably answered
something like this:
This man, Marshall. has got the rest
of the bunch backing up. He's old
fashioneder than Andy Jackson. Say,
he'd make Jackson look like a 'risto-
crat. Sure. we'll slip him bid t.

Any way, the invitation came and
it is up to the governor to accept or
reject. It is believed, however. that he
will not be able to accept, for he has
about all the engagements now that
he cares to tackle. But, If he does go,
he will make a hit. That part of it is a
cinch.

Especial to THE TrMEs,)

East Chicago, Ind. May 1S.-With
81 900 raised in a single day as a nue.
Ieus, the East Chicago public library
project is growing in its scope, and it
is now proposed to interest the bust
ness men of Indiana Harbor in the en-
terprise, give the Harbor a library of
the same magnitude as that TO be es-
ia blished in the city hall, and in time
united the two libraries into one large
one, with headquarters on site that
would be equally convenient to both
towns, and operate what are to be the
libraries of the immediate future as
sub stations of the main institution.
Superintendent Canine. who did much
to help boost tag day, has taken the
project up where Mrs. Abe Ottenheimer
and the woman of the Tuesday Reading
club and their friends left of, and in
tends TO do all in his power to carry
the good work along. 1t is his inten-
ton to invade Indiana Harbor with a
view of getting subscriptions neces-
sary to complete the library organiza-
ton. Two thousand two hundred dol
lars is the sum needed.
The taggers last Saturday confined
themselves to a canvass of East Chi
cago as it was understood that the In
diana Harbor folk were not enthusiast
tic over project which had for its OBJ
ject the filing of the shelves of East
Chicago's library, inasmuch as they
have library room of their own tc
fill and they believe that public spirit
should begin at home Mr.. Canine
however, declared last night that il
this were the case. the Indiana Harbor-
ties were laboring under a misappre-
hension of the object of the presen'
movement. He expressed the belief tina
If the matter were presented in a propel

addition to which there were several
hundred tons from miscellaneous
sources. Early deliveries were asked
for on all this tonnage, and shipments

with the 10000 tons placed by the Chi

total of rail orders entered by the

up to 105,00 tons. Having placed lib
eral contracts earlier in the season for
fastenings, not much new business of
this kind is coming from the railroads;
but specifications for spikes and bolts
are fairly good. Light rails have shar-

ment noted. but the Improvement OBJ
served is not as satisfactory as in other

Timely Word TO the Wealthy.

The wealthy and the noble, when
they expend large sums in decorating
their houses with the rare and costly
efforts of genius, with busts from the
chisel of a Canoya, and with cartoons
from the pencil of a Raphael, are to
be commended. if they do not stand
still there, but go on to bestow some
pains and cost, that the master him
self be not inferior to the mansion,
and that the owner be not the only
thing that is little, amidst everything
else that is great-Colton.
