the Polls Close This
Evening.

Voting Merely PerfunctOry and Is
Expected To Be Light-Last
Formally Monday.

Today the citizens of Gary are vot-
ing on the question of whether or not
Gary shall become a city or remain as
a town. The polls viii be open from
6 a. m until p. M, a polling place
being provided in each of the three
wards As to the result of the election,
the odds have now been placed at 100
to 1 with no takers, and consequently
the usual interest taken on the de-
cision of the question has waned.
The step, however, taken by the citi-
zens of Gary today means much to this
city and to the country at large The
spectacle of a town only three years
old assuming the dignity of city in
those tender years is almost an IN
precedented event in the country. No
where. in fact. has there ever been a
city built and populated with fifteen
thousand persons in 50 short a period.
The voting will be done as a matter
OF course. and it is expected that it
viii be light but at the same time
many Of the voters of Gary consider it
their duty to voice at the polls today
their sentiment Monday the result OF
the balloting viii be filed with the
clerk Of the circuit court at Crown
Point. and Gary viii then have been
made city.

DRIVES HIS
HORSE INTO
MANHOLE
Especial to THE TIMEs.)


Indiana Harbor. Ind, Oct. 16.-Con-
siderable excitement prevailed in Elm
street between One Hundred and Thir-
ty-seventh and One Hundred and Thir-
ty-eighth streets at 10 o'clock in the
morning. when one of a team of horses.
owned by Conrad Peto, who conducts
grocery and meat shop in One Hun
dred and Thirty-seventh street, between
Hemlock and Grapevine streets. stepped
into an open manhole, pulling down
his mate. and sustaining rather seri-
Gus injuries himself
The team was driven by a young boy,
Robert Jones. who. in boy fashion, was
looking the other way and failed to
notice that the cover was removed
from the manhole. He declares, how
ever, that this was over near the curb
when the accident occurred. and that
the manhole was left absolutely IN
guarded.
The horses fore legs were both sunk
in the manhole and both the knees
were badly scraped. while one of the
hind legs of the animal was also in
jured. The horse was finally removed
from its predicament with the aid of a
block and tackle, which were procured
from somewhere in the neighborhood.
| The boy attempted to replace the
! manhole cover, and failing to properly
/ accomplish this the police We're notified
/ Of the menace and the police in turn
communicated with the street commits

Gary, Ind, Oct. IL, 1909.
Dear Sir: AS you are undoubtedly
aware. I am seeking the nomination
for alderman for the city of Gary. My
reason for seeking this honor at the
hands of the citizens is actuated not
from motives of political preferment.
For this 1 care nothing. 1 wish to i'm
press upon all Christian people that
am actuated by moral motives, as it is
to the interests of those who care to
protect their own hresides and who
feel a measure of responsibility for
their brothers welfare to take precau-
tionary steps that the new city from
its cradle be provided with men who
shall use their efforts to shield the
community from an invasion of immoral
and vicious characters.
Having noticed who the candidates
/ are on the republican ticket and, know
ing them personally as I do that they
are Indifferent to moral conditions and
questions, and being aware that the
other candidates of the opposing party
will not be any more interested in NOR
al conditions / consider it my impera-
tive duty to venture forward on behalf
/ of my fellow citizens.
/ 1T is possible, nay probable. that my
/ action in this connection will not be
i appreciated and even be nisconstrued
/ That does not disturb me. The cause
! at stake is superior to any such wor-
4 ries, for I am accountable only to my

such as would guarantee immunity
from vice and immortality. You also
would be thankful to see the scarlet
women forever banished from our

against vice in this city. NY efforts

and counsels to mark Gary a clear

Elnathan Braddock. who is a candi-

the crusade to rid Gary of its vice, has
written the following letter to THE

Gary, Ind, Oct Is. 1909.
Gary Evening Timen: Herewith
find copy of a circular letter which
I sent to every member Of the local
clergy some days ago to which
they have not seen fit to reply. In
view of their denunciations of ex-
isting vice in the earlier part of

ton at the instigation OF the pevo
candidate for mayor, l thought
they should be given an OPPOR-
TUNITY to demonstrate whether
they were really identified with
vice or clean morals Their inten-

their approval of all the vicious
conditions which accompanies the
notorious Knots administration.

Ministerial Association.

The semi-annual meeting OF the minis
terial association OF Hancock county,
comprising the Congregational ministers
in the county, was held at the Congrega-
tional church in Bar Harbor Wednesday
afternoon, March3.
The principal matter of business con-
sidered was the recommendation of the
national council that the ministerial
standing be held in the local conference
OF churches rather than in an association
Of ministers. 1t was decided to recon-
mend to the next conference that action
be taken toward that end.
The subject OF "Mentsl Healing" and its
recent development was considered and
discussed. The afternoon meeting gave
also large place to the Mormon ques-
tion as found on the coast.
In the evening . public meeting was
held in which Rev. Elias A. Jenkins, Of
Somesviile, spoke on 1.-THE making OF q
Church. Rev. Howard A. Lincoln, OF
Southwest Hsrbor, read an address, pre-
pared for the ministers, but full Of interest
to all, on the "Life Of Horace BUSHNELL.
The closing address was given by Rev.
Charles Robinson, OF Stonington, on the
thought OF "Agitation as Bases OF Life.
The next meeting of the association will
be held in June at Bucksport, in connec-
ton with the county conference.

A DESERVED REBUKE.

Mr.. Peters of Ellsworth Resents As
sault on Insane Asylum Trustees.
Representative Peters, of Ellsworth, is
not given to much speaking during this
his first term in the Maine legislature, but
when there seems to be necessity for it,
he doesn't hesitate. Such an occasion
arose last Friday when Representative
Wing, OF Auburn, was assailing the trus-
tees of the Maine insane asylums.
Judge Chase, of Bluehill, is one OF the
trustees; he sat directly in front OF Mr..
Wing when he referred to the trustees as
.vultures sitting on the window-sills of
the House waiting for their prey-the
spoils".
This reference aroused Mr.. Peters, who
arose after Mr.. Wing had finished, and
for few moments caused the House to sit
up and take notice. This is what he said:
Mr.. Speaker don't know anything about
these hospitals; l don't know that want
to. don't know anything about the details
of these expenditures;I leave that entirely
to the committee; but do have the pleas
ure OF an Acquaintance with some of the
members of the board of trustees of these hos
pitfalls. One of them the people OF Kennebec
county have sufficient confidence in to eject
member Of the upper branch. Another the
people Of Hancock county have had sufficient
confidence in to make judge Of probate OF
Hancock county. Another the legislature
once made commissioner of sea and shore
fisheries. Another. . lady with whom am
personally acquainted, exemplifes the very
highest type Of womanhood. l want to say
that think the State OF Maine is exceed
ingly fortunate in being able to procure and
continue to procure the.services of such peo-
pie as these.
think II Is in rather poor taste to criticise
the fact that some of them are present when
the business of their institutions comes up
for investigation and action by the legisla-
ture. think they would be inject to criti-
cism If they stayed away when these mat
tiers were under discussion by the legislature.
I think when we see those gentlemen here we
ought not to presume that they come here
with any desire or purpose OF lobbying, or
with any other purpose than the high minded
purpose they all have to see that the affairs OF
these institutions of which they carry on the
work are properly and reasonably looked
after. I do not believe that any person who
knows these trustees would hesitate for a mo-
ment to put any affair of his life into their
hands.
II | should die, as l must sometime, l
should be perfectly willing to have my affairs
administered by the Judge of probate to
whom referred: if should live should
only be too glad if the other gentleman to
whom referred could be induced 10 handle
my property because think he could do it
better than / could. want to assure you
that do not care anything about the details
of this matter: if these things are recon-
mended by these trustees / am in favor of
them.

The Mt. Desert automobile bill has met
a setback in the Sepate. Numerous other
towns of Maine whose petitions or bills
for an automobile exclusion act were
turned down, are nov pinning their de-
sires on the tail of the Mt Desert kite in
the shape of amendments to include half
a dozen towns already in the provisions
of the bill, with notice served that others
will be heard from. 1t seems pretty
generally admitted that il the early
weeks of the legislature the senti-
ment was against the automobile exclu-
sion bills, The argument advanced by
friends of the Mt. Desert bill that the
island was peculiarly situated geographic
cally, the end of all roads, as it were, and
the exclusion of automobiles would not
affect other towns than those on the
island, pulled the bill through. But this
argument does not apply to the other towns
some of them already turned down in their
request for similar legislation, yet Mt.
Desert island, while fearing too much tail
may drag down the kite, cannot consist
emily say: "Let go of my tail!"

WEDNESDAY MARCH 10, 1909.

Former Governor John F. Hill, Of
Maine, member of the republican
national committee, has been named
as acting chairman of the committee
by Chairman Frank II. Hitchcock.
Mr.. Hill has accepted the appoint
ment, and will become acting chair
man on the national committee when
Mr.. Hitchcock retires from the chair
manship to take up the duties as
postmaster general in the new adj
ministration. Governor Hill was one
OF the most important factors in New
England in the campaign which led to
The nomination of Judge Taft. He
long has been identified with New
England politics, and for many years
has been an intimate friend of Chair
man Hitchcock. His selection was
made after Chairman Hitchcock
had conferred with members of the
republican national committee in
Washington, and is substantially an
act of the committee. 1t is under
stood that the selection of Mr.. Hill is
eminently satisfactory to President
Taft, and was made with his entire
approval.

F.cM THE Law COURT.
Decision Handed Down In Case Of
Burnham VS.. Austin.

l
In the Hancock county case of Burn
| ham VS.. Austin, the law court has handed
down the following decision:
! Edwin G. Burnham VS.. Mary c. F. Austin.
Assumpsit for breach Of contract. Defendant
| gave the piairtiff a written permit dated Dec.
4 81, 1906, to enter upon certain land and to cut
/ and remove therefrom wood to be mnnufac-
| tured into slaves at the stumpage price OF
| sl.oo per cord, expressly reserving all cedar
and pine. Said stave-wood was to be all re-
moved before April /. 1897.
! The plaintiff entered and began operations,
when on Dec. 81. 1905, he was notified in writ
| ing by defendant that he had broken his con-
tract, that his cutting after Jan. l. 1907, would
/ be wholly at her sufferance and thatNal his
crews must leave the premises on or before
| Jan. 10. 1907. unless they confined themselves
TO cutting and hauling FIR and such spruce as
| her agent, Clark, right designate.
The defendant set up as her reason for re-
vocation independent agreement on the
part Of the plaintiff not to cut any spruce
suitable for manufacture into long lumber
and his violation of this agreement by cutting
all spruce in the path of his operation.
The plaintiff after receiving this notice with
his various crews continued cutting under
Clark's direction during the remainder OF the
season and made payments for stumpage at
the appointed times. This suit was brought
Sept. "a, 1907.
Held.
1. That whatever cause of action the plain
tiff may have had on Dec 81, 1905, the evidence
so clearly shows waiver on his part, that
recovery is precluded. Waiver Is q matter Of
intention, yet such intention need not
be proved by express declaration. It Is
question Of fact sne may be icferred from
| the acts Of the party and most often lie shown
by his action or non-ac.ion.
g. That the things which the plaintiff did
and the things that he failed to do can be
reconciled with no other theory than that
either he claimed no right OF action or volun-
sarily relinQuished 1t. His reading Of the let
ter OF revocation to the several crews, his de-
cision not to quit the work and claim damages
| for breach, his continuing the work without
| q days suspension and without protest, his
cutting Of the spruce under Ciark's super
vision, his making OF payments when due,
his letter to the defendant written soon after
the revocation. in which he pleaded for the
privilege Of continuing work and practically
admitted the justice Of the defendants posi-
ton and his failure to make any claim Of
breach on defendants part until this writ WAS
brought are such conclusive evidence Of
| waiver that verdict for the plaintiff could
not have been sustained and . verdict for the
defendant was, therefore, properly directed
by the presiding judge.
Exceptions oyerruled.

To the Editor Of The American:
1t is time for the farmers in the state of
Maine to wake up on the tariff question.
II they think they are getting too much
more than living profit -on their butter,
eggs and potatoes, they shouldn't fail to
inform their representatives in Congress
OF that fact.
II they think their taxes are not likely
to be high enough under the present we'll
nigh universal liberal policy OF public ex-
penditures, let them not fail to petition
for more rapid increase.
Our State expenditures have doubled.
trebled and are likely to be quadrupled
within little more than a quarter of a CEN
tury. Our county tax was largely in
creased, and our towns generally are run
on rising scale. As people, are we in
creasing in our earnings and savings pro-
portionately?
1t is a good time now thoroughly to in
vestigate these problems. Ii.
