SIMPLEX
GETS NEW
PATENT

Hammond people will be interested
in knowing that the Simplex Railway
Appliance company has produced an
other patent which will result in the
Improvement of the brake beams they
manufacture.
Reports from Washington are to the
effect that Carl Bauer of Hammond has
secured a patent on a brake beam fing-
err guard, otherwise known as a wheel
guard.
A brake beam finger guard Is a pro-
jecting rod or finger which prevents
the brake beam from being excessive
ly displaced literally by bearing In the
inside of the wheel
The Improvement which Mr.. Bauer
has patented is said to be very prac-
teal and valuable one.

soloists were excellent In every par
ticular, and the people who were pres
ent were delighted to the utmost to
realize that such treat should be given
them right at home.
1T is rather discouraging." said one
of the members who had worked hard
for the success of the concert. 1T was
not to make money, for the admission
was only fifty cents, but we should
have realised from the failures by 9TH
ers to give Hammond something worth
while, that we could not expect any
more. 1t may be argued that the pat
rons would not have received the bene-
fit of the German songs, but 1t must be
remembered that the program was not
composed wholly Of Germany songs
for it was interspersed with English
songs and instrumental music speaks q
universal language"
Another man who was present and
who was not member of the society
said today:
1T was one of the finest musica
treats that 1 ever enjoyed. l was sur
prised to see such talent in Hammond

by Mrs. c. Tally of West Hammond. and
it was one of her friends that was

In coming toward Hammond, on sum

says goes with them. The committee
has not announced any position on the
question of how the candidate for |
United States Senator shall be select |
ed, but 1t is well known that Taggart |
is opposed to having a candidate nam
d at the state convention. The fact Is |
that Taggart is an aspirant for Sena- |
tor. He has not said so himself, but |

everybody knows, too, that with his !

leading Democrats believe
MARSHALL MADE SUGGESTION.
1t was Governor Marshall who made
the suggestion that the state cenven-
ton make the selection of man for
the Senate. The Governor does not
want the Democratic party to send
Taggart to the Senate if 1t can be
avoided. He has always held that the
rank and file of the party should have
the right to say who should represent
them in Congress and in the Senate,
and he has stated on numerous occa-
sion that thinks the state eenyen-
ton should select the candidate for
Senator. In this way, he says, the
people would come nearer to making
the choice than in any other way. The
Governor believe, 1t is said, although
he has not made the public statement,
that if the selection is made in this
way Taggart will not have a chance
to win. for the reason that the rank
and file of the party throughout the
state would not stand for Taggart.
REFUSES TO ANSWER.
! Taggart has been asked many times
| to state whether he will be a candi-
date or not, and each time he has re-
fused to make definite answer to
| the suggestion. He has not said that he
will not be a candidate. He is taking
the same attitud that he held during
the early part of the senatorial cam
paign last year At that time there
were several candidates for the place,
but the report got to going that Tag
CART would probably get in the race.
and II made all the other candidates
nervous They feared the result if he
| should decided to try for the place.
1t was not until few days before the
party caucus was held that Taggart
made his announcement that he was
not a candidate, and 1t was not until
after he had become satisfied that
| Shive1y would be chosen,
Since the Governor made his sug-
geston that the candidate fer senator
| be chosen by the state convention a
great row has sprung up among the
Democrats over the state. Some OF
them are with the Governor and some
stand against him. Democratic news
papers have taken up the discussion
and they are divided, though most OF
| them are said to favor the plan out
lined by the Governor

HAMMOND MAN GETS
{. Cn|CAGO CONTRACT
j. IL. Nc Clay Is to Build the
Addition to Mckinley
School Soon.
Especial to THE TIMEal


East Chicago, Ind, April S.-James
H, MeClay of Hammond has secured
the contract for the building of the ad-
dition to the Mckinley school. the job
having been awarded to the Hammond
man at a meeting of the school board
held last evening at the city hall, for
$4,000.
August Johnson of East Chicago lost
the contract by the narrow margin of
3145.
While the school board may have
acted, as they believed. in the best in
terests of the taxpayers in letting the
contract to the lowest bidder. there is
feeling over here that where the
amount of the difference was so slight.
loyalty to the home contractor should
have prompted the board to award the
job to Mr.. Johnson. 1t has been re-
marked that in the case of the award
ing of a similar contract In Hammond,
where an East Chicago contractor was
$4,000 less than the next lowest bidder.
a Hammond man, there were reasons
found by the Hammond school board
for not letting the contract at that
time. and the result of the delay was
that the East Chicago man was beaten
out OF the job.
The addition to the Mckinley school
| is to be similar in style and architec-
ture to the main building. and will
contain four rooms in addition to the
basement rooms. The trimming Is to
be of oak throughout, and the heat
| ing facilities extended from the heat
| ing plant in the main building. Work
| will be commenced on the structure ir
| the near future.
