Crown Point, Ind, Jan. 5.-Dr T.. w.
Oberlin of Hammond was appointed by
the board of county commissioners to
the position of secretary of the coun-
ty board of health at the meeting yes
terday afternoon.
The other candidates for the position
were Dr.. Edmond A. ellison OF Ham
mond, r. T. B. Templin of Gary and
DR.. E. T.. Geisel of Gary. The victory
of the Hammond man was won after
a spirited contest, but there was the
best of feeling prevailing after the Sc
lection had been made.
J. Frank Meeker, who has been the
county ney for some time. was re-
appoj- to this position. William
Cochran of Eagle Creek was appoint
ed ditch commissioner
The law prescribesi that the county
auditor shall be made the secretary of

A. F. THERE, TOO.
A. f. Knotts. the republican brother
of Tom Knots, was In the convention
hall during the progress of the con-
vention. 1t being apparent that his fu-
tss=e political career depended much up
on the activities Of his brother Tom.
In sounding the various delegations
from over the districtbefore the conven-
tion, it was found that the south end
was for Murphy first and that deevlop-
ments would have to tell whom they
would support in case there was no
show for Murphy. They were conf
dent that there would be no concilia-
ton between Simon and Knots in the
Lake county delegation, and conse-
quently felt quite safe. AS the hour for
the meeting neared it became more
apparent that Mayor Becker of Ham
mond was forced into the race merely
to cut down Simon's majority.
On the whole, it seems that Murphy
will work. well with the Tenth dis
trict democrats. He has no open en-
emies in Lake county, and while this
may work out all right over the dis
tric,t, a long standing fight between
Simon on one side and Becker and
Knots on the other side is in store.

FROM FIRST EDITION
OF TIMES TODAY

The first great gun in Tenth District
politics was fired in Hammond today
fer the coming battle between the re-
pubiicans and democrats in what is
expected to be the grimmest warfare
of decade In Indiana politics. The
state prize is to be senatorial seat,
control of the Indiana legislature and
political power for years to come in
Indiana.
MET AT TWO O'CLOCK.
The democratic delegates from
Lake, LaPorte, Porter, Tippecanoe
White, Benton, Newton, Jasper and
Warren counties, composing the Tenth
District, met in Huehn's hall at 2
o'clock this afternoon for the purpose
of selecting district chairman
NATTER OF GUEsswORK.
This afternoon the outcome OF the
Tenth democratic district convention
was matter of guess. 1t seemed as
though the reckoning had been lost,
for the candidates for chairmanship
came to Hammond finding themselves
deserted in some quarters and supplied
with strength in others.
Charles F. Murphy, the White county
candidate. was on the scene early, but
had little to say, having himself been
tco busy to study the layout.
The Gary delegation came over on
the Gary Western, and while the
city is entitled only to three candi-
dates, Mayor Knots got busy to get
together a number of b ,sters to help
put Gary, more particularly Mr.. Knots,
on the map.
Altogether 13s delegates were on the
convention floor.
These are divided as follows: Lake
county 80, Laporte, 20 Tippecanoe rs,
White IL. Benton s, Jasper s, Porter
9. Newton s and Warren s.
For hours before the meeting there
was the greatest uncertainty about the
outcome. 1t was peculiar situation
for ouside of Lake county there seem
ed to be no capitalization of senti-
ment in favor of any one one but
Charlie Murphy of Brookston.

CHARLES IS TICKLED

Democratic harmony, written in
blood, prevailed at the Tenth Dis
trict convention this afternoon at
Huehn's hall in Hammond where
Charles F. Murphy, of Brookston,
White county, was chosen as chair
man of the Tenth Congressional Dis
trict, to represent it on the state GEN.

HOT TINE IN OLD TOWN.
Tim Englehart and Attorney R. E.
Houren, representing the Knotts' and
Crolius' factions of Gary, engaged in
bloody fist fight in which Engle-
hart made the first pass at Houren,
knocking him off his feet. He was
caught by other delegates and was
prevented from going to the floor.
Englehart went after him life a mad
bull, and Houren was struggling to
get at his opponent when they were
finally separated

Houren was bleeding in his face hav-
ing received a cash over his nose from

Just before the convention was called
to order and the various delegates
were shaking hands. the crowd In the
convention was attracted to the north
east corner. where some heated words
were being said which were plainly
heard above the din of the voices.
HOW 1T HAPPENED.
In shaking hands with Eugene F. Nc
Govern. Mayor Lawrence Becker of
Hammond recognized as being con-
nected with the Lake County Democrat,
edited at Gary. The two grasped
hands for a moment and then glared at
each other. and then ensued some
heated words and epithets that. would

the two walked in between McGovern
and Becker and took them to different

and two-tiirds for Becker, Simon and
Murphy. Three ballots were taken,
Becker having had a toal of 40H, Simon
san and Murphy So on the first ballot,
sixty-seven being necessary for a
choice.
On the second ballot Becker had 3eh,
Simon 3o1s and Murphy So, still not
enough to elect.

voting in the third ballot was the feat
ure of that vote, Lake county having
first reported 21 for Becker and for
Simon. 1t then switched the vote to 22
for Becker and for Simon, and then
went % for Becker and for Simon
Then again it switched 22 for Becker
and s for Simon, and finally went %
for Becker and for Simon.
THE WINNING BALLOT.
On the third ballot the vote stood
3s 2-3 for Becker, % 2-3 for Simon, and
~ 2-3 for Murphy. The ballot was then
made unanimous Murphy made a
short address, thanking the convention
for the honor, and the convention was
adjourned after vote Of thanks had
been extended to the outgoing chair
man, ]. *. Risk.
Ex-Chairman J.~K. Risk of Lafayette
opened the convention, and then retired
in favor of Judge Darroh ofKentland
who presided.
John L. Rohde offered the name of
Lawrence Becker of Hammond as a
candidate. while Captain Dorman of
Hobart offered the name of Ed. Simon
as the nominee. White county. Muir
phys own county proposed the name
of Murphy.
A CLEAR CASE.
1t was apparent from the beginning
that Becker and Knots had hitched
together for the sole purpose to trim
Ed. Simon. Simon, howeeyr. made a
gallant fight against the combination,
the south end of the district took ad-
vantage of the split in the north end
to secure the chairmanship for itself
Tfppecanoe county, with Its twenty-six
delegates, was with Murphy from start
to finish, as were also the other coun-
ties that supported him from the be-
ginning. Lake county could have had
either Becker or Simon for the district
chairman had they been united Simon
was stronger outside of Lake county
than was Becker.
HOW 1T STARTED.
The fist fight between Englehart and
Houren started when Guy Ballard of
Gary proposed to vote in the Lake
county delegation for Ed. Simon. hav-
i ing presented a proxy vote from E.
Brown of Hanover township. He gave
his credentials to John l. Rohde, who
was the foorman for the Becker fac
| ton, but Rohde later claimed that they
were lost in the shuttle. and it was
finally agreed that pro-rata ballot be
| cast. Ballard was still in the center
of the turmoil when he was pulled
out of his place by Englehart. Houren
then stepped in and insisted on Bal
lard casting his proxy vote.
I TIM STARTED TT.

EXTEND
LINE EAST
Direct Connection Then td
Be Afforded With In
diana Harbor.

The representatives of the Han-
mond Whiting G. East Chicago Electric
Railway company appeared before the
members of the board Of public works
in Hammond this morning and asked
for franchise that will give the COM
pany new route to East Chicago and
Indiana Harbor by way of Gibson.
The fact that the local company is
getting busy and has asked for ex-
tensions that the people have long
believed were necessary is thought to
be one of the results OF the recent
consolidation by which the line was
purchased by the Chicago & Connects
ing Railways Co.
ALREADY HAS FRANCHISE.
The company already has a fran
chise on East State street to Howard
avenue. but the line has never been
operated any farther east than CaIu-
met avenue. 1t is now proposed to ex-
tend the line east to Columbia avenue
thence south to Kane avenue and then
ip south easterly direction on Kane
avenue. parallel to the Nickel Plate
tracks to the viaduct under the hump
at the. Gibson yards where 1t would
proceed north through the viaduct and
then jogg over to Forsythe avenue on
which street II would proceed north
TO the intersection OF One Hundred and
Fiftieth street where 1t would join its
present line and run into the business
district of East Chicago
Tire advantage of this route would
be that it would entirely eliminate the
bad crossing at the corner of One
Hundred and Fiftieth street and Calu-
met avenue and would give both the
