NEXT YEARS MEETING PLACE

At the business session OF the In
diana Federated Commercial clubs in
Assembly hall in Gary yesterday after
noon. Anderson was selected as the
next meeting place Of the organization
without a dissenting vote. In the alb

ing.
One OF the most important matters
considered by the delegates after the
roll call was the establishment of
permanent state headquarters for the
federation in charge Of a paid secre-
tary. This. it was pointed out, would
be invaluable IN facilitating the inves-
LEGATION of small industries which
seek locations in the Indiana munich
palities.
Only Per Cent Desirable.
Secretary w. B. Campbell of Ander-
son stated that of 500 industries that
sought locations in their city that only
2 per cent were found desirable 1t
was suggested therefore that it would
be good plan to have a state secre-
tary investigate the desireabiIity of ali
industries seeking sites and that their
findings be submitted to the CONNER
cial clubs of the various cities who
will then have the opportunity to com

Tells story of Gary.
Captain H. s. Nortons address as
usual when he makes a public state
ment was feature As president of
the Gary Commercial club it was fitting
that he should relate the story OF
Gary. and he did so most excelIentlv.
Undoubtedly the visitors were already
impressed with magnificent achive-
ments of the city and realized its fu-
ture greatness, but If there was any
doubt in any visitors mind. he must
have been convinced after Captain
Norton had finished
Beginning his address he harked
back to the time when Gary last year
put in It's bid at the Richmond CON
N0nfiNr 20
this year. He admitted that It looked
"nervy' for a city which was not
thought TO be on the way to ask the
presence Of so great body as the In
diana Federated Commercial clubs. but
he hoped that when the visitors had
crossed the Grand Calumet this after
noon and inspected the steel mills that
they would agree with him that Gary
was entitled to the convention. The
story Of Gary he said. was old, that it
had been printed and reprinted in the
magazines and newspapers not only in
this country but abroad He said that
Gary today was the beginning of a big
which will eventually
rank the Magic Steel City among the
foremost in the state. That it had been
so thoroughly planned, that it could
not be improved upon. He told how
the founders quietly. but persistently
searched from one end of the country
to the other for a situable place where
to erect the world wonder and how
nnally impressed with the location on
the south end of Lake Michigan they
had come here.
The city's logical position in relation
to the fuel supply and mineral beds

were the cause for its location where
it Is
Captain Norton was confident that it
would be only matter of ten years
before an army of thirty thousand
would be employed In the Steel City
and gave his assurance that before an
other five years had passed that the
sheet mills. the American Bridge COM
pany. the American Locomotive works
and the American Steel Car and Foun-
dry company would be in operation in
Gary, in addition to which there would
be located many other small concerns
In the light of such statements his pre-
dlction that in the course of only
rev short years there would be ten
story sky scrapers on Fifth avenue
and Broadway did not sem unreason-
aole. In closing he warned Indianapo-
lis 10 look out for its laureIs. adding
iacetiousiy that Gary is already ia
miiiar with the thought of Chicago.

secretary Of the Fort Wayne CONNER
cial club. being absent. his place was
taken by Charles Hernly of Newcastle.
VINO at one time was chairman OF the
republican state central committee.
According to the clever remarks of
Mr. Hernly, the officials of Newcastle
are not burdened with the troubles ana
care that befall the average city Of
1cials.
he said that the town had no mayor.
and that since the beginning Of the
year there had been only two prisoners.
all OF which speaks well for Newcastle.
But Mr.. Hernly is thoroughly alive TO
the needs of a good commercial club.
and outlined some Of the things which
any organization could persue with
profit to any community. He is an
entertaining after dinner speaker. and
most OF his remarks were in a lighter
vein. In conclusion he hoped that
Gary would realize its hopes for
15O.0 population soon.

The matter of offering bonuses for
factories was also considered The ma
pority seemed to believe that the prac-
tlce was not good one by reason of
the fact they believed the selection of
city should be made because of its
advantages rather than the amount of
money that the city is able to offer
them It was shown that many of the
industries which were paid large sums
BY public subscriptions to locate in a

ROOT IS ENTERTAINED
At BANQUET
NEW YORk'S SENATOR is GUEST
OF HONOR AT COLLEGE
ALUMNI FUNCTION.

New York, March 9.-The members
of the Republican club and the alum
nj of Hamilton college gathered at
a banquet tonight to do honor to
Elihu Root. Senator Root referred to
President Taft's inaugural address,
declaring one thing that appealed es-
pecially to him was that this nation
ought to enforce it's obligations of
treaties within its own territories.
'As our trade, wealth and travel
In foreign lands Increases" he said,
I'VE are rubbing elbows with other
nations of the world. We are becom-
ing involved in more mutual relations
with every other country. We must
respect the right of trade, travel and
business. Our constitutional govern
ment gives the federal government the
right to protect treaties. Our con-
gress through the federal courts re-
spects the rights and properties of
Europeans and Asiatics throughout
the United States. A foreigner can
sue to recover debts and demand the
protection of his rights Our congress.
however, has not given the federal
courts the right of criminal jurisdic-
ton. His life and liberty are en-
trusted to the protection of the states,
and when mobs maltreat innocent for
eigners and the sacred rights of
treaties are set at naught, our gov
ernment is bound to answer for it's
failure to keep its promises. I hope
New York will exercise its influence
to have our national government
make laws to keep its word and en-
force its promises.

RIOT ALMOST CAUSED
BY FUNERAL
OFFICERS HAVE TO BE SENT TO
CEMETERY BEFORE BURIAL
CAN TAKE PLACE.

Ell Paso, Texas, March 9.-The re-
fusal of a cemetery agent to honor
an injunction issued by Judge James
r. Harper to prevent interference
with the burial of 16-year- Sole
dad ArmendariZ, a Catholic girl who
committed suicide here Sunday night
almost precipitated a riot at Ever
green cemetery this afternoon and re-
suited in the presence of deputy
sheriffs during the ceremony.
When Father Pinto, of a local Po-
lish church, served notice on Faus-
tino Armendariz that his daughter
could not be buried in the Catholic
portion Of the cemetery, the father
went to the burial ground, presented
a deed to his family plot and pre-
pared the grave for his child He was
elected by d. Fl. Anderson, agent at
the cemetery.
A temporary injunction was is
sued on plea of Armendariz against
Father Pinto, r. II. Thorne, manager
of the cemetery, and D. H. Ander-
son, restraining them from interfer-
ing with the funeral
When deputy sheriffs accompanied
the funeral party to the grave to
serve the writ, Anderson refused to
honor the court order. The deputy
sheriffs threatened arrest and the fu-
neral proceeded. The final hearing
in the injunction proceedings has been
set for May 8.

NARROWLY ESCAPES
DISASTROUS
BLOW
GOVERNMENTS CASE AGAINST
STANDARD OIL RECEIVES
SEVERE SETBACK.

Chicago, March 9-The govern
ment's case for the retrial of the
Standard Oil company of Indiana
which so far has shared unfortu-
nately in Judge Andersons court,
narrowly avoided a death blow to-
day. Judge Anderson held that the
government must prove that there
was a standard rate for oil shipments
between Whiting, Ind, and East ST.
Louis at the time of the offenses
with which the defendant is charged
and that the defendant knowingly ac-
cepted lower secret rate. The court
declared that the government must
convince him that it would be able to
prove this.
Judge Anderson's ruling will, it is
said, compel the government to ask
leave to amend the indictment. AL
though the government counsel does
not directly state that a refusal to
allow this amendment to be made
would be a death blow to the prose-
cution, their admissions made this in
ference obvious.
Court adjourned at the governments
request.
