The Governor spent the entire day
with Mr.. Gompers and the labor lead

ton.
GOVERNOR ASKS QUESTION.
Governor Marshall was the ques-
toner. and Mr.. Gompers unlocked, as he
said, his heart and mind.
In addition, the Governor has con-
sented to take up with the attorney for
the tin plate workers at Elwood a dis
custom of the trouble there to see what
may be DONE The tin plate workers
at Elwood have been on strike for nine
months. and, according to the state
ment of P. j. McArd1e, president of the
Aualgama{ed Iron Steel and TIN Work
ers the city authorities have stated te
tho strikers they want to see the mills
running, and are, as result. winkine

in Hammond today and stated that
there is considerable sentiment in that
city for amalgamation with Ham
mond. He said, however, that he did
not believe the people would favor an
nexation, and he said that they were
opposed to union with East Chi
cago at the present time.
Mr.. Westfall is of the opinion that
both Hammond and East Chicago are
in near enough the same financial con-
dition to warrant a union at the pres
ent time. 1t would also make possible
the construction of a Lake Front park
from the Hammond to the Whiting
mark. a thing that would be very pleas
ing to the people Of Whiting

There are many reasons to believe

Those who have watched the curtain

marveled at the beauty of many a

wondered what mysterious parsonage

whose curiosity has prompted them to

he booked. They Loved a Lassie,'
and the stage employees are to have the
profits.
No Applause for Them.
And to know the boys Is to like
every one of them. The hero and the
villain in the play is very often only a
second rate individual off the stage, and
yet they receive the plaudits of those
who have paid $3.50 for an evenings
entertainment The stage employees not
only work harder. but often they work
more intelligently than the alleged his

IT is to be hoped that the stage en-

SOMEWHAT
SUBS|D|NG

Since the excitement that followed
subsidized, the people of the region are
taking a more calm view of the situa-
ton. Sentiment in favor of amalgama-
ton has been greatly strengthened,
but many people are opposed to annex
alton.
1t is the prevailing opinion that the
legislators who go to the state capt.
tai will ask for a law that will make
the amalgamation of the cities of the
region possible without the use of
such arbitrary methods
A F. Knots, in talking the matter
over the other day, said that he was
going to urge the passage of a law
which would make it mandatory upon
the city officials to pass an ordinance
calling for vote on the question, pro-
viding a petition was signed by the
proper number of citizens in each of
the cities concerned.
Knots Favors AUGMENTATION.
Then the matter would be put to a
vote and the people themselves could
decide just what they want Mr..
Knots thinks that this would enable
cities to amalgamate without arousing
any hard feeling over the mater He
also says hat it would prevent politi-
clans from preventing amalgamation

Mr.. Hahn said while talking with a
reporter, Il feel that 1t is hardly fair
to take only a few boys camping to
Charlevoix and leave the many at home
because they can not raise twenty five
dollars. 1t looks as If we wanted only
those VINO could raise money enough for
a big time"
Il hope that many boys Will get TO

PUTR|D MEAT

WASHINGTON, Feb. food
Inspector Dodge testified before
the house committee, which is in
vestigating the high cost of living,
today that "putrid meat" is de-
manded by many society swells, -
who wouldn't eat it unless 1t was
ready to fall to pieces.
Dodge said that during the
Roosevelt administration the
White House steward bought beef
by the quarter, and hung it in
the open air. He said that Presi-
dent Roosevelt inspected the beef
daily, poking his finger into it and
refusing to allow it to be used
until it, was nice and ripe"
Dodge said that he was about to
condemn piece of meat in a
Washington butcher shop one day
when the butcher asked him to
hold off for few minutes as the
footman employed by a member of
high society was awaiting. outside
for roast off that particular
piece. 81
Representative Johnson of
Kentucky declared that the eating
of such meat was the result of a
Canine" appetite, and put the
following question to Dodge: do
butchers keep this kind of meat in
the same box as that intended for
civilized people?"
81 think they usually do" re-
piled Dodge.

POWER PLANT
ISSUE BEFORE
HIGH COURT

This week will probably settle
the litigation with reference to the
city's municipal power plant on
the Nisqually river. Wednesday
and Thursday Judge Stiles will
argue the matter before the SUI
preme court.
In the lower court the ruling
was that the city had right to
condemn, and on trial of the cases
was awarded. The old
owners of the property objected
to the size of the verdict, or at
least few of them represented
by the Nisqually Power company,
did and they took the case up to
the supreme court on appeal. If
the supreme court stands by the
city now, that will end the con-
troversy and there will be moth
ing in the way of completing the
project. The city has already
paid the money into court to set
tie the judgment. @a. 50
