GRANGER
CLEARED
BY UNION
Hammond Union Man Vim
dicated by Gary Carpent-
ers Union For Defending
Man Against Whom
Charges Were Preferred.

H. E. Granger declares he was vim
dicated by the Gary carpenters union
at their meeting last night. In his ac-
tion in legally defending a union man
against whom charges had been pre-
ferred by a union. Mr. Granger be-
lieves his vindication personal VIC
tory well as a victory of union~1a-
bor principles.
The charges against the Hammond
man gre wout of his action toward
who was charged with having stolen
some tools from a Gary carpenter. The
painters union retained Granger to de-
fen4 the nsa1 and - y ~ laTxsay
victed and Sentenced to the county 5aii
The Gary carpenters took the posi-
tion that Granger, who is himself a
union man. was, acting contrary to un
ion principles In defending a man
against whom the carpenters union
had preferred charges, and an at
tempt was made to oust him from the
union and the central body. He was
given a trial before the Gary union
and defended his action on the floor,
the case first having been heard by a
union board on the 18th of this month
and again by the union as a body last
night. The vote was overwhelmingly
in Granger's favor Mr. Granger is of
the opinion that his case is precedent

tried before the Gary local, the charg-
es were preferred by ]. It. Hewitt the
business agent of the local.

for and Against
Annexation Are Present
ed From Both Aspects
Law Safeguards Ham
mond's Representation.

So involved has become the discus
sion of the question of amalgamation
that there are all sorts of foolish argu-
ments being advanced on both Sides
Either from ignorance or purposely,
there have been large number of
false statements made
With the intent of being impartial
in this matter THE TIMES has attempted
to. present the arguments that are be-
ing advanced on both sides of the
question. Only in this manner can the
real points at issue be determined
Problem Is Involved.
1t will be seen from the arguments
and counter arguments that are pre-
sented below that the problem is a very
involved one. There are so many phases
of the matter that have come UP that
the question is probably the most in
teresting one that has ever been pre-
sented to the people of this locality.
Arguments Against Annexation.
Assuming that annexation is a de-
sirable thing there should be some
sort of a conference between the citi-
zens of East Chicago and the citizens
of Hammond, at which the terms of the
anal lgamation could be discussed.
At this conference the citizens of
Hammond and the citizens of East Chi
cago should have capable representa-
tives who will draw up a compact
which will be the basis upon which
the cities will be amalgamated.
Answer of the Annexationists.
Mayor Schlieker of East Chicago has
decided to call a conference between
representative Hammond and East Chi
cago business men to take up the. mat
ter OF algamation and determine
what shall be the terms Of tho Hntan

THE WORLD
IS TAKING

The dwHrfed souls who are loud
ly declaiming that they will fight
amalgamation of the cities of Ham
mond, East Chicago. Indiana Har-
Dor and Whiting and who are de-
ploring what they call agitation.
fail to see that these cities are get
ting the costliest kind of advertis-
ing from the papers of the country
from one end to the other. The
Chicago Record Herald, editorially,
said today:
Not long ago Indiana was con-
tent to follow a quiet, pleasant rou-
tine and to produce literature. vice

When the race gamblers appear

Point they were simply credited to
the big and active neighbor just
over the state line. When Indiana

Gary came to take shape the district
containing them was regarded by
the rest of the state as n mere In
dustrinl extension of manufacturing

Even the period Immediately sue

sition from town to city govern

of Indiana unruff1ed.
But now the ambitious young
town Of East Chicago has changed
all this Under the nervy lead> of
its mayor and the authority of the
peculiar state law on annexation,
it has taken in Hammond and
Whiting, both more important than
itself and has suddenly injected In
to the state polity and state sta
tistfcs a new city of 10000 popula-
tfon.
Mayor Schlieker. whose simple
motion brought the sensational
change about. has gone to Indiana
polls to secure conffrrpatory legis-
lation. He has vast amount of
opposition. individual and corporate,
to overcome. for the annexed towns
will oppose him with all the legal
forces at their command.
THE rest Of the state-the real,

now sit up and take notice. 1t must
face the perfectly patent fact that

all morning, and when the committee
met 1t was conceded by the friends of

to push the matter before the state con-
vention, and the subject was not dis
cussed at the meeting. Those who
favored 1t said that an attempt to name

Taggart wing of the party would be
sure to result in a factional fight. 9th

the statement that the father of the

mining engineer. and that the young

yards only since March 21. The same
person was authority for the statement
that Douglas had worked as switch

Chain Gives Way
Douglas friend this morning at the
morgue in tell of the accident said that
Douglas was about to step from one box
car to another while they were in mo-
tion. He said that there were no draw
bars In one of the cars and that the
car was attached to the other by means
of chain. This chain burst asunder
Just as the young man was about to
step across, causing a gap in which he
had not figured. He fell TO the ground

Sentiment in Hammond seems to

all sides. The desire to see a new city
at the south end of Lake Michigan
that will be the third largest munich

Esteemed Hammond Lady
Is Not Expected to Sur
vive Very Long.

The condition of Mrs. Henry Bicknell
Is so serious today that friends and
relatives have given up hope Of her be-

hours longer.
She has been unconscious for some
time, and, it is said, to be barely

will be able to survive the night.
Hundreds of people who personally
know Mrs. BickneH and others who
have a casual acquaintance with her
sincerely regret her prolonged illness,
and the sympathy of all goes out to the
bereaved family.
Mrs. Allie Nee is reported TO be some
better today. although her condition
is serious, too. DR.. T. Edwin Bell seems
to be on the way to a rapid recovery.

SUICIDE
Walter G. Bennett >Conkey
Employe, Takes Chloro-
form in Attempt to Kill
Himself Last Night, But
He Is Not Successful.

While in state of mental derange-
ment, brought on by the belief that
he was a mental and physical wreck,
Walter c. Bennett. pressman in the
Conkey plant. attempted to commit
commit suicide last evening by taking
choloform at his room, 911 Harrison
street. 1t was his third attempt with
in a. few days, and today steps were
taken by the authorities to send him
to Longcliffe.
Walter Bennett is young man, about
"a years old, and has no near rela-
tives. He has not been physically well
for some time, and this, together with
the fact that his sister, his only rela-
tive. died a short time ago, brought on
a. mental worry. the strain of which he
could not withstand. Several days ago
he procured choloform, and going to
bed he covered his face with a pillow
and then attempted to inhale the fumes
This attempt, however. was unsuccess-
ful. as he burned his face with the
poison.
Landlord Discovers Him.
Last night he retired shortly after 6
o'clock. but his landlord thinking that
everything was not well with his
boarder. went to his room and found
fects of the poison. He saved the
young fellow in his attempt of self
destruction and urged him to eat his
supper. Bennett ate but sparingly. and
soon retired again promising that he
would not attempt his life again The
landlord, however, mistrusting him. fol-
lowed him shortly after to his room
again. and there sure enough lay the

Restoratives were, given him and he

taken to the police station. where. he

ton.
Judge Prest sat in the case this morn
ing and Drs. Weis and H. B. HAYWARD
were summoned as expert witnesses.
The young man realized that he was
being tried for his sanity and when the
Opportunity presented itself he asked
DR. Hayward whether there is any cure
for him. Upon being assured that there
was he seemed greatly relieved. He
was placed in the care of Constable
Merryweather and arrangements were
made to take him away today
