SENATOR-ED|TOR SAYS STORY
IS RIDICULOUS AND UNTRUE

in Lake county; that in fact many of
them came TO him with offers of sup
port, should decide to make the race
for reelection; that his retirement was
due to his belief that the senatorship
should go alternately to Lake and
Porter counties and above all that he
proposed to support the Republican
ticket this fall and do all he could to
insure its success.
Senator Bowser denies that he has
any stock in the Air Line railroad. He
says that he is interested with Mr.
Jeffry in several hundred acres of
Chesterton real estate which he is de-
veloping for residential purposes.
Outside of hiS newspaper and his real
estate holdings ~enator Bowser says
that he has no other interests. The
senator says that he never goes to Gary
but that he is besieged by friends and
newspaper men who want to know what
attitude he is going to take politically.
He hopes this statement of his position
will set a. rest any curiosity as TO
what he has outlined for his business
and political future.

STOP. FALSE NATURALIZATION

The officials of the United States
court are determined to put a stop to
deceit on the part of foreigners who.
have been guilty of making false re-
turns in an effort to secure their sec
ond naturalization papers.
Yesterday there was a preliminary
hearing before United States Commits
sioner Charles Surprise in Hammond in
which Aldar Calgoey, of East Chicago
an applicant for second papers and
John 10th and Mike Phillip, his wit
nesses were bound over to the grand
jury for alleged mistatements they are
said to have made regarding the length
of time Galgoey has been in the United
States
At the time Galgoey made application
for his second papers he was carefully
questioned by Judge A. B. Anderson.
This resulted in the discovery of so
many discrepancies in his statements
that the case was continued.
Gaigoey Failed to Appear.

FOLK GET
FRANCHISE

Hammond is to be one of the few
favored cities of smaller size which
are to enjoy the advantages of the
telepost system, the new idea in send
ing messages by electricity. At the
regular meeting of the Hammond city
council last night a franchise, grant
ing. the Telepost company a right to
operate in Hammond, went to its sec
ond reading and will in all probability
be passed at special meeting to-
night All of the councilmen with
the exception of Councilman Henry
Whitaker were present, and five OF
those present voted against the fran
chise. They were Eggers. Kahl. Cotton,
Schultz and Hubbard. The company
was represented by Colonel LeGrand
T. Meyer and E. E. Sipperly. The lions
share of the credit of inducing the
company to come through Hammond
belongs to Col. Meyer. AS attorney
for the towns of Munster and High
lands. he discovered that the company
intended to go by Hammond, leaving
it on the north of its line. 1t is the
companys object to build from Chica-
go to New York by as short a route
possible. Impressed by the indus
trial growth of this region, the COM
pafly, however, re-conSldered lne route
and promised to come into the city If a
franchise can be secured without delay
and promised to come into the city II
a franchise can be secured without de-
lay or opposition, it is the COM
pany's intention to build through this
county within sixty days.
Must Establish Office Here.
The franchise as read last night pro-
vides that the company must file a
$4,000 bond within twenty days of the
acceptance of the franchise, and that

plication was refused for the want of
prosecution. In the meantime Frederic
w Weber of Chicago the national
examiner who spends his time investi-
eating the claims of foreigners who are
seeking their second papers secured
evidence to support the opinion that
Galgoey has not been in the United
States for more than three years when
he claimed to have resided here for
five years, the length of time required
by law. Weber made the affidavit
against Galgoey.
Charles Miller, the United States dis
trict attorney and a United States Mar
shalls Rankin and Merrill came to
Hammond yesterday and Aldar CAL
goey, John 10th and Mike Phillip were
all arrested
They were all bound over to the
grand jury by United States Commits
sioner Surprise Galgoey was unable
to furnish bond and was taken to
Marion county where he will be held
pending the grand jury investigation.
John 10th and Mike Phillip were both
released on 5000 bonds.

PURTELLE
FINALLY
APPEARED

Eugene Purtelle, president of the
Northwestern Indiana Traction com
pany, appeared before the board of
public works in the mayors office to-
day to ask for an extension of ten
days in which to file the $1,000 cash
forfeit money and the $4,000 bond.
Attorney J. K. Stinson, who is the
local representa- tive of the company.
explained to THE TIMES today that
President Purtelles request was based
on the fact that the company hoped
to have disposed of sufficient bonds by
this time. but that there had been an
unavoidable delay in the eastern mar
ket.
The original time limit in the fran
chise for the fling of the bonds ex-
pires today.

fore the county commissioners rela-
tive to straighteningof Holman street
at the bridge. He said that immediate
action was necessary by the council
SO that the plans for the bridge could
be changed accordingly and asked the
councils sentiment in regard to the
purchase of a small strip of land north
of the bridge and on the west side of
the street so that the new bridge may
be placed in line with the main course
of Holman street. BY purchasing this
strip of land he explained the city
would save at least $4,000 on the wat
mains which would have to be re-
moved If the bridge is to go back ex-
actly into the place of the old one BY
to appoint a committee to confer with
the board to purchase the necessary
strip of land.
East Side Park Question.
Adam Ebert, president of the board,
reported to the council on the east side
matter, He stated at the outset the
board had taken no authority upon it
self to enter into negotiations for the
purchase of any tract, inasmuch as the
board had no instructions to act in this
manner. He stated further that he had
upon inquiry learned that various
tracts of land were held anywhere from
$500 to $4,000 an acre. and that the
closest, although not definite figures on
the particular tract sought by the east
siders were set at about s2,500 an
acre by Gostlin. Meyn & Co. This par
ticular tract is a natural park, south

In an interview which Senator A. J.
Bowser of Chesterton today gave THE
TIMES he stated that the story that he
intends to start a newspaper in Gary
is false in every particular and that he
does not and never has intended to
enter the Gary field.
Senator Bowser said he is of the
opinion that it would take 100000 to
successfully compete with the news
papers which are already firmly estab-
lished in Gary He said his attitude
is similar to that of the man who offer
ed a sawmill for $1,000 The man who
had been approached said that he did
not see what a man who had $4,000
would want with a sawmili. Bowser
says he does not see what a man with
5000, 600 ould want with a newspaper in

No DECL|NE:
APPARENT
IN The CITY

The manufacturing industries OF the
city are, generally speaking. working
a, little below normal at the present
time. Uncertainty over the outcome
OF the fall elections and a feeling of
unrest in the money market are as
signed as the causes. Railroad stocks
are falling, and this has resulted in
a tendency to retrench. However, it is
believed that this condition is only
temporary, and that it will be improved
in the fall especially If the crops are
good.
Secretary w. Thomas of the Simplex
Railway Appliance company said that
the plant is running a little below nor
NAL at the present time. He stated
that he expected a decided improve
ment in conditions in the fall.
There are enough orders on hand to
keep the plant employed during the
summer, and while not many orders
are being received there are a number
in sight.
Railroads Cautious.
Superintendent H. B. Douglas of the
Standard Steel Car company reports
that his plant is also running a lit

plex are also true with the Standard
There is little inclination on the paIy
of the railroads to make additional i'm

complexion of the next congress.
