this morning when the news spread
around town that James McLain, who

to be the cause of the mans death, but
nothing definite is known until after

TEXT OF TAFT MESSAGE, RE-
MARKABLE FOR BREvTTY.

TO THE SENATE AND HOUSE
REPRESENTATIVES, have con-
vened the congress in this extra
session in order to enable it to give
immediate consideration to the re-
vision OF the Dingley tariff act. Con-
ditions affecting production, manu-
facture and business generally have
so changed In the last twelve years
as to require a readjustment and
revision of the import duties i'm
posed by that act. More than this,
the present tariff act, with the other
sources of government revenue, does
not furnish income enough to pay
the authorized expenditures. BY July
1 next the excess of expenses over
receipts for the current fiscal year
Will equal 100.0oo.Ooo.
The successful party in the late
election is pledged to a revision OF
the tariff. The country, and the
business community especially, ex-
pect It. The prospect of change in
the rates of import duties always
causes a suspension or halt In busi-
ness because of the uncertainty as to
the changes to be made and their
effect. 1t is therefore of the highest
Importance that the new bill should
be agreed upon and passed with its
due and thorough consideration For
these reasons I have deemed the
present to be an extraordinary ses-
sion, within the meaning of the con-
stitution. justifying and requiring
the calling OF an extra session.
In my inaugural address I stated
in a summary way the principles
upon which, in my judgment. the re-
vision of the tariff should proceed,
and indicated at least one new
source of revenue that might be
properly resorted to IN order to
avoid future deficit. 1t is not
necessary for me to repeat what 1
then said
I venture to suggest that the vital
business interests Of the country re-
quire that the attention of the con-
gress in this session be chiefly
devoted to the consideration of the
new tariff bill. and that the less
time given to other subjects of
legislation in this session the bet
ter for the country.

their. own hotel bills and other ex-

No names have been heard mentioned

John N. Hennon, United States postal
inspector. was in Gary yesterday for
the purpose of going over the field
with a view of establishing free de-
livery in this city The requirements
for the installation of the service in
this city is that Gary shall have a popu-
lation of 10000 people. that the streets
shall be paved. sidewalks constructed.
and the streets lighted
The report of the inspector to the
government Will be sent in at once as
he covered the field carefully yester-
day and ascertained that the require
ments were met in every way in this
city 1t will be some time, however,
before the government can act on the
report, and then install the service.
Mr.. Hennon appeared before the
town board yesterday afternoon and
took up several matters in regard to
the installation of the service. 1t will
be necessary to secure a permit from
the city to put the letter boxes on the
street corners as there are no tele-
phone or light poles in the streets OF
Gary, and the city ordinance prevents
the obstruction in any way of the
streets and sidewalks.
1t is probable that If the matter ii
acted upon by the government, as soor
as they usually do, the carrier system
will be installed by the latter part Of
May. It will require from five to sever
carriers to cover the territory, accord
ing to the inspector.

FEAR Of MANY SMALL
THEATRES IN GARY
Town Board Seriously Con-
sidering a Heavy
License.
BROADWAY DOTTED WITH THEM
Saloonkeepers Going Out of Business
Turn to Moving Picture Shows
For Livelihood.

At the meeting of the town board
yesterday afternoon, held in the build
ing Of the Calumet Savings & Trust
company, the matter of licensing the
aters in this city was discussed. The
idea OF the members of the board was
not to devise another source OF revenue
theaters which are now dotting Broad
way from one extreme to the other.
A few high class theaters of this
character were appreciated by the pub
lie and were well patronized, but when
the board comes to find five or ten
cent theater in every other store build
ing the matter is becoming serious.
1t is believed that a license of one
or two hundred dollars annually, pay
able in advance would do much to
eliminate the over-crowding of the
theatrical field in Gary. THE only
amount which was suggested by any
member of the board was 5000 and this
seemed to prove satisfactory. 1t is
likely that the matter will be consid-
cred still further at the next meet
ing Of the board.
There was little other business trans
acted by the board except the allow
ance of the bills and the decision to
erect a small ocal sewer. The manner
of procedure in doing construction
work puzzled the members Of the
board somewhat because of the changes
In the cities and towns law, and they
were frequently forced to seek the ad-
vice Of Attorney Bomberger on this
subject

not cause it to be rescinded, the Of
fetal announcement 1T is declared, will
assert emphatically that it is the pres
ent hating state of trade, caused by
proposed tariff reform and the under
cutting by the Independents, which has
forced the trust to reduce wages in
order to save itself.
When the trust started open war on
it's few competitors by cutting prices
on the allegation that the latter
months before had broken the gentle
mems agreement" between them to
maintain prices at a certain notch, 1t
declared that it would not cut wages
and would not ever discuss that ques-
ton until after it had ascertained what
action Congress would take on the
subject OF tariff revision.
What Wall Street Thinks.
In Wall street It is believed that the
trust, with its strange and wonderful
powers OF discovering in advance the
action of the United States Govern
ment, has learned the intentions OF
the men who control the peoples rep
resentatives in Washington and has TAX
en- steps accordingly.
Last week from Pittsburg it was an
nounced that the trust had decided tC

A report was received at this Of
fee today. which came from a very
reliable source, saying that at the
beginning OF the present week there
were 3.S26 men on the Indiana Steel
company's pay roll. This. of course,
means men actually employed in the
mills outside OF those employed in the
construction work in the mills.
This number will be greatly increased
in a very short time when several more
of the blast furnaces will be put in
operation. 1t Is said that 5000 men

ELKS GET GOOD NEWS
May Organize a Lodge in
Gary Under Special
Dispensation.

Word was received by Attorney
Clyde Hunter from the Grand Exalted
Ruler of the Elks, Rush l. Holland, OF
Colorado Springs. saying that he had
returned and would take some action
in regards to the granting of special
dispensation to organize the local
lodge of Elks at Gary.
Mr. Holland has been absent for
several weeks in the east, and did not
return to Colorado Springs until yes
terday. This is the reason that the
local committee has heard nothing
from the grand lodge.
AS soon as Mr.. Holland has made his
report q committee will have to go to
Los Angeles to the grand lodge meet
ing, which viii meet in June next, for
their permanent charter In the mean
time, just as soon as dispensation is
granted the local lodge. they can start
~ with organization.
A committee. composed of II. H,
Highlands. A. s. Hess and c. H Ma
loney. who were appointed some time
ago to look after suitable quarters for
a lodge rooms have several in view
and will make their report at the
next meeting.

The splitting ordinance continues to
be vigorously enforced in Gary toward
Americans, as well as the foreigners.
The latest victim to forget himself in
the presence of an officer was Tom
Davis. who is employed in the steel

He violated the ordinance in the
presence of officer Newman, who hailed
him forthwith before Justice Huber.

of ACCOMPLISHMENT gratis, assessed the
fine and costs amounting to S150.50.

BRIDGE WORK IS BEGUN
New Structure Over Calu-
met River Will Cost
$36,490.

Contractor E. H. CroweI of Crown
Point was in Gary today and gave out
the information that work had started
on the new bridge over the Calumet
river.
Mr.. Croweu has a force Of workmen
engaged at the present time in put
ting up a temporary shack for the
workmen and storeroom for material.
The material is beginning to arrive and
is now being hauled to the river.
The old structure viii remain as it
is for some weeks at least. so as to
allow traffic to pass over the bridge.
as the work Of putting In the concrete
abuttments will in no way necessitate
the removal Of the bridge for some time
to come. It may be that Mr.. CroWell
viii build temporary bridge on the
side later on. which WIN be sufficient
to carry an ordinary load.
The materials for the new bridge
over the river have all been ordered
early, and for this reason it is ex-
pected that no delay IN the construction
of the bridge as is in some cases the
cause of companies being held up by
the non-arrival of material. The old
bridge Will in time be taken down and
the material disposed Of by the county
commissioners. The new structure Will
cost s36, 400 and in time win be trav-
eled by more people than any other
bridge in the county.
