IN POLITICS

There is some talk In Kansas Of a
special session of the legislature to
straighten out the kinks in the new
state bank deposit guaranty law.
Attorney General Jefferson D. MCarn
of Nashville, who successfully prosecut-
ed the Coopers for the murder of Sen.
Cormack. is to be a candidate forgover-
nor of Tennessee.
Eleven candidates are already in the
race for the democratic nominal ton for
governor of Texas and the indications
are that there may be several more en-
tries at an early date.
Governor Stubbs of Kansas will not
be a candidate for United States senat-
or to succeed Charles Curtis. He desir-
es another term in the gubernatorial
chair to finish the task of putting the
state on a sound business basis.
The present outlook is that the first
regular session of the Sixty first Con-
gress will be given over as completely
to currency legislation and the reform
! of the monetary system as the present
session has been given over TO revision
of the tariff.

REFUSES TO ARREST
HIS COUNTRYMAN
Sooner Than Be Instrumental in the
Arrest of a Friend, Patrolman
Throws Up Jobs Dismissed Pre-
emptorily = Ex-Oflcer Indicted
Once With Murder.

Rather than arrest a friend of his,
officer William MarQuardt of the Gary
police force threw his star and club
away and was summarily discharged
by Chief Martin after an exciting
scene in the south end of the city. The
trouble yesterday caused a commotion
among the policemen of the city and
many of the citizens who were present
when the trouble occurred and among
the friends of both parties in the con-
troversy.
The man whom Marquardt was or
dered to arrest was James Stusmuski,
man living in Indiana Harbor and
who is employed in the Indiana Steel
mills at Gary Marquardt was order
ed to arrest his fellow countryman on
the charge of shooting within the city
limits and also with provocation.
For some reason or other Marquardt
refused to do as he was requested.
Chief Martin says it is because the
man was a friend of Marquardt's and
that he showed discrimination. At any
rate the refusal precipitated heated
controversy. which finished by the Of
hcer tearing OF his star and throwing
1t to Chief Martin and then throwing
his club on the floor of the house at

they had gone to arrest the man they

meeting of the East Chicago city coun-
ell until after the summer holiday, was
held last night and raft Of small bust
ness was finished up. Mayor DeBraie
was absent as was also Alderman Lew
is. who Is in California and the chair
manship was turned over to Alderman
Joseph Wleklinski.
Quite ripple passed over the coun-
ell chamber when Walter J. Riley, rep
resenting the Calumet Kennedy Land
company, asked the city to vacate the
HARRISON Walker addition. Every one
present saw visions of another large
industry secured for the vicinity, but
Mr.. Riley said there was no signifi-
canoe in the measure, the idea being
merely to reduce the size of the lots
in the subdivision from 100 feet 'front.'
agesk to twenty-five feet. The matter
was referred.
Pipe Line Must Move.
The march of progress in this region
is evidenced by an ordinance which
went to third reading last night and
was passed. permitting the Indiana
Pipe Line company to transfer part OF
its line from its present location on
private property. to Kennedy avenue
from the south limits to the intersec-
tion OF Kennedy with the old Indiana
boulevard.
The pipe line has lain for 10, these
many years on what, at the time of Its
laying was acreage. but which ha:
since been subdivided or is designed tC
be subdivided in the near future, and
the lea is to transfer the line to E
public highway so that it will not b,
interfere with by the digging OF eel
lars. or otherwise in ways that are in
cidental to building operations. A pro
vision OF the granting of the ordinances
was that the company begin worl
within thirty days so as to be able t
complete the work before winter set
in. thereby obviating the chances o
having the street torn up all winter

Equipment Is Expected to
Arrive in Steel City Next
Week; South End Station
Will Be Temporarily
Abandoned.

The fire station on the south side.
which has been placed at Fifteenth
and Washington street, has been
abandoned by the Gary Fire depart
ment because of the fact that the
building in which it was located was
entirely inadequate for that purpose.
Consequently the three members of the
south end company have been moved
back to the central station where they
will be employed until the new place
is built.
In few days after the building
in the south end was occupied. 1t was
seen by Acting Captain william j.
Frazier that the establishment of a
fire station in the building was i'm
practical. The men not only did not
have a decent place to sleep. but there
was not enough room to properly
handle the horse and wagon.
Await Auto Fire Truck.
The Gary fire department Is expect
ing the arrival Of their new automo-
bile fire apparatus next week and this
will be put in service at once at the
central station. A new building will
then be built for the south end fremeu
and the fire truck now in use will be
| used on the south side. The new au-
| tomobile truck will be the first to be
put in operation in this section of the
state.
