PUBLIC. DOCK
WANTED IN
{. CHICAGO
Especial to THE TIMES. }

East Chicago, Ind, Oct. 3.-There is
a movement on foot looking toward
the purchase by the city of about five
acres of land along the canal for pub
lie dockage purposes.
1t is understood that a number of
persons have advised the administra-
ton to purchase. dockage fronting on
the canal while the property is at a
reasonable figure, as later the price will
be much higher as TO make it an
expensive investnent- 1t has been sug-
gested that the most desirable. point
for the city to own dockage would be in
the vicinity of the proposed extension
of the Parish avenue road to Whiting.
Five acres here would give q dock
frontage of about 500 feet and the land
could be purchased from the Palmer
estate
At present the city does not own a
single foot of canal frontage, and far
sighted business men declare that 1t
would be grave mistake for the city
to allow all the dockage to be gobbled
up by private interests and when the
price of frontage is next to prohfbitive
the city would find itself either forced
| to get along without this valuable as
set be forced to pay whatever the
| property owners fit to charge the
| corporation for the land.
| 1t is understood that the mayor and
| several of the aldermen are in favor OF
the proposition, although the latter has
not yet been crystalized into anything
1 more definite than mere talk. How
| ever, there seems small doubt that ii
the business was properly presented tc
| the city deal of the kind suggested
| would pass the city council
/ Some time ago w. c. Dickey, of the
| Ward Dfckey company, who was a dele
| gate from East Chicago to the river.
and harbors congress that took place II
| Washington, told the Commercial club
| of Indiana Harbor and East Chicago the
advice that high officials in the secre-
| tary of wars office had given the Eas
| Chicago delegation in reference to thi.
| same manner. In discussing the cana
| these authorities had warned the dele
| cation repeatedly that whatever wa.
| done by the city in regard to the canal
it should not fail to avail itself of tn,
advantages offered to possess itself o
plenty of public doekage, which in tim,
was bound to be one of the city's mos
valuable assets.

MR.. BAUKUS HAS HIS
TROUBLES WITH GREEKS
Democratic Politician Says
That He Can't Be Kept
Out Of Hall.

y s
Il am a democratic politician ard
you can't keep me out of this hall"
said John Kandes, proprietor of tue
Broadway Restaurant who has been ar
rested on several different charges for
keeping an unsanitary place. last night
as he attempted to force his way into
Baukus hall to witness, the wrestling
match.
And because the door keeper would
not allow HANDLES to. enter the hall
without paying the regular price of ad :
mission, and disregarding his political
prominence. Kandes went down town
and secured the services of nearly
hundred Greeks. They then went down
to the scene of the wrestling match and
proceeded to make things liely. In fact
a near riot was only averted when the
local police rushed in and drove the in
furiated Grek mob out of the building.
This morning. Kandes swore out a
warrant against John Demetrol of Chi
cago one of the wrestlers, for using
vulgar language. The ease did not
come up for trial as the parties in
volved settled their differences and
Demetrol was discharged. \
Il am trying hard to run an orderly
place. said Anton Baukus, proprietor
of the Baukus play house this morning.
The attempt of the Greek mob to

disgraceful affair These things, do
more harm in the way OF injuring my
business than anything else. The best
order is being maintained at my place

This week Senator Beveridge will be
in the north and central part of the
state. He was to have spoken at Bluff
ton tonight and the date was announc-

time later in the campaign About
twenty-five of the victims of that aw-
full accident were Button people. and
ever since it happened the city and
Wells county have been shrouded in

this was no time to impose politics on
the people of that community. The
Senator will speak at Monticello to-
night instead of Button. One of his

makes a speech at the big corn show.

KNOTS HAS
TIME WITH
Dem. MULE

The democratic mule of Gary has
jumped upon Mayor Knots good and
hard as a result of the nomination of
/. Louie Gottlieb for justice of the
peace Yesterday it is said that a com
mittee waited the mayor and told
him what was what so today, or very
shortly, the announcement is to be
made: That owing to pressing business
Mr.. Gottlieb has decided to not make
the race"
Would Go to Indianapoli
Threats were made that If Gottlieb
were to be kept on the ticket the dis
satisfied would take their tale to the
stae committee and tell few things
about framed-up states with people
not wanted by the rank and file being
forced upon them.
In place of Gott1ieb it is said tina.
Mr.. Schaffer of the Peoples Hardware
company will be listed on the ticket.
| IT is also said that r. Jensen, the
Ridge road saloonkeeper. whose po-
litical career was operated by Tim
Engiehardt at Friday nights conven-
ton is also to withdraw. In his place
1t is said that Tom Conroy. a we'll
known young man who formerly con-
Quoted the Washington hotel barber
shop, but who is now a real estate
salesman in the employee of Tim. will
be booked as Jensen's successor on
| the ticket.
Knots In Hot Water.
| Friday nights democratic convention
and Knott's effort as a slate maker
seems to have stirred up hornet $
nest The situation in tabloid form is
like this:
Aaron Levi, who was defeated for the
ie
ing a new party to place an independ-
ent township ticket in the field. Max
Bernstein who has no for Gottliet
and John Zeliska who is of the same
frame of mind may become leaders In
IL.
+ Gottlieb who Is forced off the ticket
and will no longer be a friend of the
administration.
Robert Emmett OConnor, the lawyer
who was defeated for the nomina tior
has a host of friends who are on the
war path because he was not named.
:. Many Irishmen who are sore because
not a member of their race was named
for one of the ten offices and who could
not land one of the three places on the
advisory board. which were held dowr
by L. Mekatinsky, Joe Morris and A
civilians.
The mayors Hebrew constituency Il
split into the Levi and Gottlieb faction
and they are fighting like cats and
dogs.

Gov. McCreary Announces.

Gov. McCreary's announcement as 81
candidate for Governor is as follows;
To the Democrats of Kentucky:
have received so many letters request
ing me TO announce that am a candi-
date for Governor, and so many Dem
ocrats have in person said to me that If
am nominated | will have the unani-
nous support of the Democrats of Ken
lucky, and such a large number of
newspapers have published editorials
suggesting and indorsing me as a
proper candidate for Governor, that |
have decided to announce that / am a
candidate for Governor subject to the
action of the Democratic party.
! believe the party which has hon.
ored me so often and to which have
belonged all my life, and whose prin-
ciples have ever advocated and up
held is entitled to my very best serv-
ices whenever needed or demanded, l
have always been in favor of the
straight, pure Democracy, law and or
der, honesty and economy in public
administration and educational adj
vancement, and my record and my eff
forts to serve the people faithfully and
efficiently hope and believe are we'll
known to the people of Kentucky. At
the proper time shall be pleased to
make speeches in behalf of Democratic
principles and Democratic Government
and Democratic victory in every part
of the State and every county if de-
sired, and will be very grateful for
the support of my brother Democrats.

There is not much doing in politics
in Kentucky this year" said Mr..
Woodson. There are only the con-
gressional elections, for the governor
and legislature and county officers
hold over until next year. AS for the
congressional districts, there are only
two in Kentucky that are at all de-
batable which the Republicans now
hold the Ninth and Tenth. We are
sure of carrying the former, and it is
quite possible that we shall get the
Tenth.
Insurgency is insurging in Ken
lucky just as well as In some of the
northern and western states. In the
greater part OF the south the insur-
gent movement in the Republican par
ty does not amount TO much, because
the party being small and powerless,
has to hang together in order to get
what spoils may be coming from the
national distribution. but the insur-
gent movement is just as strong rela-
lively among the Kentucky Republi-
cans as it is anywhere in the north.
The tariff is answering for it's own
sins and some others.
Governor Wilson? Oh, he is get
ting on about as poorly as could be.
He is as vaccilating and weak as ever.
You see the whole trouble In Ken
lucky is that while in power the Dem
ocrats got so bad the people turned
them out and the Republicans have
been in two years. They have proved
so much worse that the people are in
a hurry to turn them out and get back
some good men"
NO, we are not talking much about
our own politics in Kentucky just now.
