CRITIC|SE TAFT'S
SPEECH ON TARIFF
Presidents Winona Utter.
ances Stir Up Hornets
Nest in Indiana.
TIMES BUREAU
AT STATE CAPITAL.


Indianapolis, Sept. 22.-Dissatisfac-
tion over President Taft's tariff speech
at Winona. Mimi, on last Friday is be-
ing manifested by republican country
papers In Indiana, and by party work
ers generally, on the ground that he
has run counter to the sentiment of
majority of the people of this state.
influential republican papers declare
vigorously that the president has
missed the mark so far as Indiana is
concerned and that apparently he does
not understand the situation or the SEN
timent of the people of his state.
During the recent annual meeting Of
the Republican Editorial association at
South Bend the course OF Senator Bev-
eridge in opposing the high schedules
and increases in the Dingley rates. and
voting against the bill was commended
in resolution to which there IS said
to have been no dissenting voice.
During the discussion of the bill at
the recent session Of congress most of
the republican editors took sides with
Senator Beverage and expressed them
selves strongly against the position Of
Senator Aldrich and his cohorts. When
the president signed the bill some of
/ the republican eQ1tbTS approved ol MS
course on the ground that he could not
have done anything else under the cir
cumstances; but practically all of them
wrote editorials commencing Senator
1 Beveridge's action in voting against the
measure.
Republican leaders are saying that
| regardless of President Taft's express
sion the party in the state will endorse
the attitude of Senator Beveridge on
the tariff.

KNOTS MAY VINO
Up IN j. S. COURT
Protection Charge Said to
Have Been Made by
Federal Prisoner.
ATTEST BY REVENUE OFFICER
If Man in Custody Will Repeat Ger.
tain Alleged Statements on Stand,
Boss May Suffer.

Tom Knots and his system of pro-
lection may get an airing in the federal
court, if Louis Kardosh. of SIS Jeffer-
son street. Gary. who claims to be a
protege of Knots in his law violations,
repeats statements to the federal grand
jury which he is alleged to have made
previous to his arrest by United States
revenue officers last week.
Kardosh is under $500 bond, the
signers of which are Tom Knots and a
South Chicago man, and Charles Sur
prise. United States commissioner at
Hammond has held him to the federal
grand jury which meets al Indianapo-
lis in November.
Arrested on Two Counts.
On information furnished by c. L
I.aRue revenue collector for this dis
trict, Kardosh was arrested last Sat
urday afternoon by United States Mar
shall Martin, who came first to Ham
mond with Deputy United States At.
torney Nichols. Kardosh came prepared
TO furnish a cash bond If several hun
dred dollars. but Attorney Nichols in
sisted on sureyt bond. signed by TIVE
property holders, and it was this tina
brought Tom Knots post haste from
Gary last Saturday night.
Kardohs is being held on two counts
for selling liquor without a government
license and for not displaying his Ii
cense
According to evidence. which may b
produced, Kardosh labored under tn
impression that he had Knots and tn
policies protection and that consequent
ly the United States government woul
be a small quantity. and he is said t
have given expression to this opinio
when asked for his license by the fed
eral authorities.
He also hoped that his explanatio
that he was acting merely as an ager
for a South Chicago firm in deliverin
goods sold in South Chicago, would pl
him beyond the pale of any trouble, bl
since he has come in actual conta'
with the authorities he has wilted cor
siderably.

Deal - Knots Concern
Profits by Alleged Irregu-
larity.

After figuring up the totals on the
bids for the paving of South Broad
way from the Pennsylvania tracks to
Twenty fifth street. City Engineer
Melton's totals show the Gary Con-
struction company to have the lowest
figures. Their prices for the various
kinds of pavements averaged $500
lower than the other bidders.
A peculiar fact about the bidding is
that last week the Gary Construc-
ton company was the lowest with a
price of $17,977.40 for the Metropoli-
tan brick, where on August is the bids
which were thrown out showed them
to be the highest on this paving. their
price on Metropolitan brick being s21,-

The throwing out of the bids August
is, on the assertion that they were ir-
regular, enabled the Knots concern
to change from the highest bidder to
the lowest bidder, and they will re-

permitted to pass upon another
proposition of great Importance
to the city and that it will be de-
termined without the aid of votes
arranged for in advance by the
interests to be affected. The cleo
ton to be held December I6 is
to determine whether the city
will extend for a period of forty,
years the special and valuable
franchises now held by the local
street railway combination, the
forty years to begin at the expi-
ration of the present franchises,
some of which have from ten to
fifteen years yet to run. The
proposition is to be submitted
now while the Democrats control
the city and the election board,
but if the power and resources
of the governor have not been
taken into account in the matter
the promoters of the PROPOSE
tion have "reckoned without the
host"

Baptist Parsonage Wanted.

FsASs oAeSe6~ W SA@s~0e
The ladies of the Baptist church
of this city have taken up the
proposition of raising money to
build a parsonage. AS there are
few really desirable houses in the
city that can be rented. the idea
is good one and the ladies de-
serve to be encouraged and as
sisted in the work. Judging from
the earnesness shown by the lady
who talked to us about the prop
osition, the ladies are determined
to have a modern home for the
pastor of the church. You know
that when the ladies make up
their minds to do a thing, it is
usually as good as accomplished.
On Thanksgiving day they will
give dinner in the Hulson build
ing on Sturgeon street. You are
cordially invited to the feast and
while only moderate charge will
be made, the ladies will not re-
fuse any of the brethren the priv
ilege of handing them FIVE or a
ten dollar bill to go into the par
sonage fund.
