LIVELY FIGHT
In INDIANA
Story That Fairbanks May
Come Back to the
Senate

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.-Indiana's
CORY political field rivals New York
today as a center of interest here. In
Indiana a big question is whether the
steel trust will cast the vote that will
decide the senatorial contest between
Beveridge, Republican, and Kern,
Democrat
More than 10000 stolid. Indifferent
natives of southern Europe, employed
in the mills of the trust at Gary, lndi-
ana, have recently been naturalized. A
third of that number voted in a solid
mass, according to to instructions, it
is alleged, at the last Presidential cleo
tion. 1t is expected that the increased
force will be equally obedient and that
the man who directs their voting may
hold the balance of power
A regular Republican from the
Hoosier state caused a diversion to-
day by setting afoat a story that Fair
banks might come back to the Senate.
The theory was advanced that with
the fight on Beveridge the legislature,
if Republican, would look around for
compromise candidate and might
choose the former Vice-President. Lit

story. but there is anxienty i'm the pro-
gressive circles here as to Beveridge's S
chances. The Fairbanks-Hemenway-
Watson tribe of regulars is open in its
opposition to to Beveridge, and is max
ing no effort. it is said, TO forward the
party interest in the caDfpaign. Bey-
eridge depends upon the independent
vote to more than balance desertions
from his own party.
While Beveridge is being fought by
faction in his party. Kern is besei
with the same sort of trouble. Tom
! Taggart and Senator Shively are op-
posed to the old war horse and thelI
friends may govern themselves accord
ingly.
Beveridge is making the campaign oi
his life and expects to have the helT

NO LACK OF MANNERS
AMONG HIGH SCHOOL PUPILS

Professor A. II. Berlin, principal of
the Wilmington High School, does
not agree with DIT. Robert Ellis
Thompson, president of the Central
High School, Of Philadelphia. who in
an address before the students on Fri
day said that high school students in
this country we're lacking in man
ners.
81 have never noticed any discour-
tesy in our school," said Professor
Berlin. On the contrary. the disci-
pline at the Wilmington High School
takes care of itself. In fact, we pride
ourselves that it has never been ne
cessary to make any request of the
students TO which they have not been
responsive. They have never failed
us. Last spring, when there was much
talk of a strike among the students,
there was no lack of manners,and the
students who were most anxious 10

were most courteous, and there was

freight train during the night and
seeing a passenger car standing on a
siding at Third street and the Penn

night there. 1t happened that John
Brenna, a special officer of the p,
b. and w. Railroad, was in the car
at the time. He drew his revolver
on the men, but Johnson, who saw
the move, flashed a gun, saying that
he intended to leave the car no mat
ter what happened. Both he and his
companion escaped and ran along
Third street toward the bridge which
spans the Christiana. Brennan fol-
lower them and meeting Patrolmen

forced to accept various compromises
on the progressive issues he has

day started for the Republican State
Convention at Saratoga for the final
round Of his fight with the old guard.
The reports OF MS many scouts

who have been at Saratoga for the

Colonel that nc can hardly hope 20
control the convention on the direct
primaries plank and various other
issues. He feels that a compromise

Colonel believes that New York is a

ultra-radical policies that have been
put into effect in some OF the western
States.

ton as temporary chairman, but the
difficulty will come on the various
progressive policies he will attempt
to have included in the platform. On
several of these he doubts that he Will
be able TO control a majority of the
delegates. His upstate lieutenants
reported that many of the delegates,
instructed for Roosevelt for tempor-
airy chairman, and pledged to support
him, will not line up behind a radical
platform, or even a radical primary
plank
With this situation in view, the Col
onel win not "go any further in tbs
