BROADWAY
SQUABBLE
IS ENDED
Gary Construction Co. Gets
Paving Contract After the
Peters Bros. Admit Their
Petition Had Not Requis-
ite Number of Signers.

The contract for the construction of
South Broadway on the east side of the
street from the Pennsylvania tracks to
Twenty fifth street was let by the
Gary town board this afternoon to the
Gary Construction company, with Pur
ington brick specified. The contract
price was s17.s12.17.
The construction of this four blocks
of pavement will be started at once so
as to have the work completed before
cold weather, and the contractors have
agreed to this proposition. The job is
one of the biggest street paving con-
tracts that has been let this year, and
the members of the town board were
anxious to get these matters out of the
way before their term Of office ex-
pires.
The South Broadway job was one in
which the Peters Brothers Paving
company engaged in the recent squab-
Bile when they circulated an eleventh
hour petition in which they hoped to
have the kind of pavement specified by
the board changed from brick to as
phaltum They later admitted that they
did not have a sufficient number OF
signers.
Contractor P. T O'Brien, who has the
contract for paving the alley between
Broadway and Washington street
stated to the board that he could not
secure the kind of brick specified in
the contract, namely. Metropolitan paw
ing brick. because of the lateness of
the season and has asked the town
board to change the specifications to
Purington brick. which he thought he
could secure. Both makes are regarded
as first-class.
O'Brien was represented in the mat
ter by Attorneys Greenlee and Call
who stated that the matter was brought
to their attention at this time so that
the brick could be obtained when the
contractor was ready to use. 1t. and that
the pavement would not be delayed.

NEW ORDERS FOR RAILS

New orders for rails aggregating
10000 tors OF steel rails were received
this week by the Indiana and Illinois
Steel companies. Nearly all this busi-
ness is for shipment in 1910
These orders will be supplemented by
purchases Of track fastenings, which
will be correspondingly large. Specifi-
cations in all lines Of finished material
are coming out in large volume. New
buying, however. is comparatively
light since the mills have not generally
opened their books for contracts be-
yond this year. and most of them can
not promise shipment of bars, shapes.
plates and sheets inside Of six to ten
weeks at best. Finishing departments
are still confronted with a scarcity of
steel. Notwithstanding that every steel
making furnace in this district, with
the exception of two or three that are
practically unfit for working. Anoth-
er blast furnace at the Gary works is
about ready to go in, and will prob
ably be started early this month.

ways beats you" the man remarked.
And that is the way with Marshall. He
has never been licked yet.
Opposed to Boss Rule.
Governor Marshall has again come
out fiat footed" against boss rule in a
party. A few days ago he received a
letter from a committee of eastern
democrats who contemplate calling a
conference of party leaders from all
over the country to decide on a plan
of campaign for next year. 1t is pro-
posed at this meeting to discuss the
issues that are to be raised and to
plan for the organization of the party
in the nation. Governor Marshall has
sent his answer to Senator Raynor.
OF Maryland, and in it he says he is
opposed to any set of men getting to-
gether and undertaking to control the
party. He says he is opposed to such
a plan He believes, he says. that the
people themselves and not the leaders
or the bosses should decide on the is
sues and also on the plan of campaign.
The Governor Will not attend the con-
ference if one is held and will not have
anything to do with the proposition in
any form.

To KNOW
It's FATE
OCT. 18TH
Gary Voters Will Decide on
That Day Whether Their
Town Shall Become a
City-Election to Name
Officials Nov. 2.

The general election to be held in
Gary for the purpose of deciding
whether or not Gary will be made
city. will be held on Oct. 16, according
to the decision of the town board at
their meeting yesterday afternoon.
The resolution to that effect was passed
by the members.
This action was taken following the
presentation of an affidavit by Chief
of Police Martin that there were $1,000
Inhabitants in Gary at the present time.
No complete census of the city was
taken and the only thing done by the
town marshal was to ascertain that
there was the required number of in
habitants.
The setting of the date. Saturday.
Oct. 16, for the voting on the question
OF whether or not Gary should be
city. has occasioned some surprise
This date is the earliest that could be
fixed for Gary to pass from. its period
of infancy. AS to the time of the cleo
tion there is but little question that
this will be held on the regular cleo
tion day. Nov. ?.
VIII Mark Epoch i'm History.
It seems probable therefore that Oct.
II will mark epoch in the history
of Gary. 1t will be the date at which
the inception of a real city will take
place with its larger latitude of gov
ernment and complete change in the
form of government. Reference to
such matter as the town board. town
marshal and town hall become mat

who lived in Gary when it was but a

/ Aside from its political Significance
| there is a touch of sentiment thing
unknown in politics anyhow, in the
changing of Gary from a town to a
city, which will mean much to It's
older residents. 1t is believed that this
date will mark the beginning OF the
greatest prosperity the place has evel

TIMES BUREAU
AT THE STATE CAPITAL.


indianapolis, Ind. October 4.-Sons-
body remarked to Tom Taggart the
other day that it looked as II the new
deal faction Of the democratic party
had the sIids ready to put under him
and slide him ont of the control of the
party organization, in this state.
We'll" replied Taggart, they have
brought those things out of the shed a
good many times for me. but they
have never used them yet. / don't pro-
pose to be thrown out unless 1 want
to-
So there IS the challenge thrown
down to the element led by Governor
Marshall which hopes to reorganize
the democratic state committee and the
state organization along lines that
will be different from those that have
prevailed IN the past.
Some time ago the story IVES -oi5
that Taggart had announced that r.
vould retire from active politics 70
this state and devote all of his time to
his vast business interests 1t is prob
ably true that he did make this state
ment. but, as has been explained in
this corresp spondence. it does not neces-
satily mean that Taggart IS going to
take his hand entirely off of the throt
tie that controls the democratic loco
motive. Taggart is a foxy politician.
and it is remembered that he has on
several occasions declared his intention
of getting out of politics. It IS remem-
bered also that on each of these occa-
Sions the statement was made when
Taggart had a big fight on hand. Then
when the fight was over Taggart had
won and was bigger than ever in his
party and more strongly intrenched as
j boss.
Gives Color to Report.
It is the prediction of many that
this is what he will do this time, if he
has been correctly quoted in his state
lnent that he will retire. The remark
which he made the other day, as quot
ed above. gives color to this theory
II it ever comes to a point where
Taggart and Marshall engage in a gen
uine fight for control Of the party ma
chinery in this state it viii mean the
clash of two clever politicians. Every
body knows that Taggart is a good
politician. Governor Marshall dis
claims any pretentions at being a poll
tician in any sense of the word. He
says he does not know thing about
politics. But the rest of the people are
of a different opinion. They regard
him as a past master at the politica
game. One man said the other dag
Marshall in politics was like a begin
ner who was learning to play euchre.

The work Of remodeling the theater
for the hotel has been started and will
be pushed to completion. When en-
tirely completed the hotel will have ac-
commodation for from seventy-five TO
100 people. The rooms will be rented

ing house, which, it is expected. will
prove popular. and the rooms will be
charged for at the rate of 25 and 80
cents All modern conveniences will be
installed.
The new manager of the hotel will

1t Is expected that the auditorium Of
the old theater on the corner Of Ninth
avenue and jefferson street will be left
untouched for the time being. It is
thought by the company that this Will
be found a desirable place TO hold po-
litical meetings. and 1t will be leased
