! A Baker, republican, and it is to be
expected that he will decline to turn
his office over to any one appointed by
the governor. So he will probably give
the office to the man appointed by Sims
and Billheimer
Hastings On the Camp Ground.
On the other hand the governor saws
he win appoint a man who will be big
enough to take possession of the place.
and that he will call out the state
troops if necessary to enable him to
take office. This part of the scrap
promises to be interesting. therefore.
Hastings has been here for two
weeks, camping on the ground, and he
has with him the solid backing Of Lake
county, which, at the last election. was
the banner republican county of the
state He has had the promise of Sims
and Billheimer that he shall have the
custodians jobs, and the auditor and
secretary of state have been flooded
with letters and kilograms endorsing
Hastings for the place.
Governor Marshall is going to New
York Thursday night and it is pre-
stunned that he will make his appoint

city. 1t Will not be necessary for
him to be here for the law suit over

house with the veto it was only few
minutes before midnight on the las
night of the session. The session
ended at midnight. King was inter.
fered with and there was real riot in
the state house that night in the eff
fort to keep King from reaching the
house with the veto prior to adjourn
ment. And the effort was successful
The session was adjourned sine die
about minute before King reached
the speakers stand, and the veto
failed. But it was found afterward
that the enrolled act Of the legislature
never reached the secretary of states
office, as is required by the constitu-
ton. Before an act of the legislature
becomes law the enrolled act must
be filed in the office of the secretary of
state. The records in the office show
that the law as it appears in the
statute books was taken from a print
ed copy of the bill as it was intro
duced in the house, and no one knows
whether the bills passed that way or
not.
Governor Marshalrs contention
therefore, is that the law as il now an
pears, giving to the board of three
state officials the power of making the
appointment is invalid. On the other
hand, Sims and Billheimer claim that
since the law has been allowed to stand
during all the years since 1895, and has
never been question, it Is valid law.
This raises nice question, and every
body agrees that it will never be set
tied until the courts finally pass on ii.
During the session of the legfsla-
ture, few weeks ago, Governor Mar
shall made the statement that he in
tended to appoint a man as custodian
of the state house and that the ap-
pointee would be a man big enough to
go In and take possession of the office
Later, he proposed that the whole mat
ter be left to a commission composed
of one lawyer selected by himself. one
selected by Sims and Billheimer and a
third to be chosen by the first two
lawyers and whatever these three law
yers decided should be accepted by
both sides. For a time 1t looked like
this proposition would be accepted
The governor also proposed that the
question be submitted to the appellate
court judges or the supreme court
judges. and that their decision be ac
cepted by both sides.
Yesterday afternoon Sims and Bill
heimer called on the governor to dis
cuss the matter. They declined to
agree to either method of arbitration.
They said such decision would not be
a final adjudication of the matter. and
that no matter which way the de-
cision went It would have to be set
tied in the courts. Such decision
might settle the question this time.
they said, but the same trouble would I
be likely to come up again in future
administrations. The best way, they
said, was to have it settled now. once
for all.
When Sims and BiIlheimer left the
office Of the governor just before
o'clock last evening it was with the
understanding that they would appoint
4 man. Then the courts will be asked
70 decide which appointee is entitled to
the office.
But It will be interesting to see

Will Run the Same.

Even If the bridge over the Calumet
river is taken out by the date set for
the Lake county Marathon race on
April 18th, the race will taEc place
just the same.
At first. when it was learned that
Contractor e. H. Crowell was to start
work next week tearing out the old
bridge on Broadway, over the Calumet,
it was thought that the race would be
postponed indefinitely, but Manager
Samuel Sax said today that If the
bridge over the river was out on the
day set for the ract that it would be
pulled off in Gary.
New entries are being received each
day.eand great interest is being shown
IN the coming event.
