ESPECIALLY ANXIOUS
ABOUT THE GARY BILL
Democratic Leaders in Fight for Re-
peal of County Local Option; Count
on Support From Kliver, Repub-
lican Representative From the
Steel City.
TIMES BUREAU,
AT STATE CAPITAL.

Indianapolis, Ind. Feb. 24.-Nothing
more is heard Of the court bills which
Governor Marshall vetoed the other
day. They seem to be dead or in
sound sleep, for no one Is saying a
word about them. No one believes any
effort will be made to pass them over
the vetoes. In fact. no one believes
they could be passed over the vetoes.
The only thing that might bring
about such an effort would be COM
bine between the forces that are be-
hind the court bills and those behind
the Tomlinson bill TO repeal the county
option law. 1t is the general under
standing that Senators Fleming and
Proctor are working to bring about
such a combine. and that il they find
it can be pulled or they will not hesi-
tate to join in the effort to pass the
court bills over the vetoes.
FIeming's Strange Interest.
II cannot understand" said one
democrat, why Fleming and Proctor
should be so anxious to pass these
court bills over the governors veto.
Three of the four court bills were in
troduced in the senate by republicans
and were pushed by republicans.
Neither Fleming or Proctor come from
districts that would be affected by the
new courts or lack of courts. The
court bills are against the principles
of economy advocated by the demo-
Gratis / understand, also, that Flem-
ing and Proctor would rather see the
Gary court bill passed than almost
any other of the court bills. 1t seems
significant to me that Representative
Kliver. a republican. who voted to re-
peal the county option law. is greatly
interested In the Gary court bill, and
it was even charged that his interest
in the Gary court bill led him to vote
against his party for the repeal of the
county option law"

WATCHING LITIGATION
Hammond City Officers
Take Interest in the
McGovern Fight.

Hammond city officials and contrec-
tors are watching the outcome of litf-
cation istituted against the NJ F. Nc
Govern Co. of Chicago, which laid the
South Holman street asphalt pave
ment by Warner Bros of Chicago.
The latter company is suing on the
ground that the McGovern company
has infringed the upon patent of the
Warner company in preparing the mix
ture for the asphalt macadam. The
specific cause for litigation is the size
of the macadam stone. Since the West
rumite company uses the same stone
a suit has also been instituted against
that company by Warner Bros.

TINES BUREAU
AT THE STATE CAPITAL.

Indianapolis, Ind, Feb. Ex-senator
A J. Bowser introduced motion in
the senate this morning bringing up
the Gary court bill. in an effort to pass
it over Governor Marshalrs veto. It
was out of the order of business just
then. however. and Senator Bowser
withdrew it, promising to bring it up
later in the day.
Gary will make desperate effort
to have the bill passed. but it does
not look favorable for it here.
The senate passed the Sunday base
ball bill today by snug majority,
and it now goes to the governor.

Last Night When Jeweler
David Nassau Is Assault
ed by Thieves.
(snecial to THr T1MEs.l !

Whiting, Ind, Feb. 24.-(Special)-
Writings reign of terror is not yet
ended. One of the boldest robberies
that has ever taken placein the Calu-
met region occurred in the Oil city in
broad daylight YESTERDAY evening when
two men entered the jewelry store of
David Nassau, the father of Max Mas
sau of East Chicago, and after asking
to look at several watches grabbed four
of them, struck the aged jeweler in the
face and made their escape.
Police are at Sea.
The Whiting police are at sea in the
matter and have not the slightest clue
as to the identity of the thieves. AL
though they were notified of the crime
within five minutes after it happened
and had good descriptions of the thiev-
es, they easily got away. In this case
they did not call for the assistance OF
bloodhounds. The trail was so fresh
that man with a good sense of smell
could have followed the thieves.
Attack is DepIored.
The people of whiting are outraged
ever the most recent of the thieving
attacks which have made Whiting the
center Of criminal activity for the past
year or more. The outrage is especial
ly deplorable in view of the fact tha;
David Nassau, the jeweler who was Sc
brutally assaulted, was a man sixty
five years of age.
Mr.. Nassau is the proprietor of g
little jewelry store at the corner oi
Schrage avenue and Fred street. A
six thirty p. m. two men came into the
store and asked to look at some watch

IS IT A GOOD
THING FOR REGION !?
Passage of Stream Pollution
Bill Leaves Hammond
in Quandary.

AS result of the passage of the
stream pollution bill, the people of
Hammond are in a quandary as to
whether or not 1t is a good thing for
the region. The bill does not discrimin-
ate between streams that are natural
sewers, used for that purpose only, and
others.
For instance, the Calumet river. in
Lake county, is a natural sewer. With
the understanding that it would be
ultimately connected with the Chicago
drainage canal or with an Indiana
drainage canal the vast sewer systems
of the cities of Hammond East Chi
cago and Indiana Harbor have been
constructed with the Calumet river as
the cess pool into which the sew
age is dumped
May Make 1t Possible.
It is possible that the signing of
this bill by the governor would make
an entirely new arrangement of the
sewer systems Of the county neces-
sary. On the other hand the bill will
be of great benefit in giving the state
board of health "A weapon with which
to go after such companies as in many
places are consciousness in their def
ance of the rights and wishes of the
people who live in the vicinity of lakes
and streams

ADRIAN DAM is DAMAGED

James Erickson, manager of the
Adrian Irrigation company's work.
reports that quite lot of damage
was done by the high water recently,
says the Wilson Creek World. The
dam at the end of Brook Lake was
partly swept out by the rushing wa
tiers, and it will take much work to
replace it. There was no concrete
The work was all of earth and rip
rap, and it was thought it had been
constructed sufficiently strong to
withstand the floods. Mr.. Erickson
says that no particular damage was
done to the fumes and bitches There
will be some delay and trouble
about completing the inverted syphon
below Adrian, where the water is to
be carried from the north to the
south side of the coulee. There is
about FIVE feet of water over the cou-
lee at that place now. Work was
suspended during the cold weather,
and can not be resumed for several
weeks, until the water goes down.

MESSRS. KORAN AND REED AS
SYST IN FRAMING A NEW BILL
BILL.

Messrs. Mike Koran and Chas. B.
Reed returned yesterday from a sew
eral days stay at Olympia, where
they went to assist in the framing
of an adequate horticultural bill.
When the Chelan county men arrived
at Olympia they found that a sub
stitute bill had been framed by a
number of Yakima horticulturists
The Chelan county men, with num-
Der Of representatives, were invited
into a conference with the Yakima
people and several days were spent
in revising the bill. 1t seems to be
perfectly satisfactory and should be
a great improvement on the old law.
1t will be introduced by Senator Cam
eron, of Yakima, the first of the week
and has good prospects of passing.
One of the provisions of the bill is
that the state commissioner of horti-
culture shall be a graduate of an
agricultural college. There is some
objections to this provision from
some quarters, and Messrs. Koran
and Reed are going to have petitions
out in a few days for signatures urg-
ing Mr. Holm to insist upon this pro-
vision standing as was framed.

voirs pipes will be laid to the lands
intended to be irrigated, says the
Douglas County Press.
The company is incorporated for
$4,000. The parties were here yes
terday signing up the agreement. Ar

days ago that the lines would have
to go through this winter If he had
to go through snow 10 feet deep to
complete the task. The snow is be-
coming deeper as the party proceeds,
and some difficulty was experienced
about a month ago in getting en-
gineers to stay with the work, but
it is reported on good authority that
there are 81 men in the engineering
force now at work.
Samuel Hill purchased a large
amount of land along the right-of-
way of the South Bank road, run
ming from Spokane to Portland. most
of the way along the Columbia river,
before the construction of the line
was started, for speculative purposes.
The statement that he has purchased
$4,000 acres of land in the Methow
valley, one of the richest regions in
eastern Washington, goes to show.
according to those who are watching
developments, that Hill is planning
to build the Rockport line across the
Cascades. The logical route of the
road to Spokane would be through
the Methow valley and Big Bend
country
