TROUBLE |SEXPECIEO
WHEN THAW COMES

The Little Calumet and Kankakee riv
ers have not reached the flood stage,
owing to the fact that while the snow
on the ground has melted to a consid-
erable extent the slush has prevented
1t from running off,
1t is reported frcm Black Oak that
the river is still confined to its chan
mel, and that it has not overflowed to
the flats to the south of Tolleston and
Gary.
The same is true of the Kankakee
river. 1t is true that the Ohio river
and its tributaries are flooded, but this
is said to- be due to the fact that the
weather is warmer than far south.
1t is expected however. that there
will be a bad flood in both of these
Lake county rivers in the spring when
| the warm weather melts the snow This
will be true to greater extent II the
| thaw is accompanied by rain.

ernor Marshall as the democratic can
didate for president, but Lem Darrow,
mayor of Laporte, does the same thing
He was in town yesterday and while

hat Governor Harmon of Ohio is the

he is the favorite among the democrats
in the north part of the state.
Both Line Up.
Since Becker and Darrow have taken
this stand and have made their views
known to the public. they seem to have
made it plain that Marshall could not
get a solid delegation to the national
convention. Becker made his speech at
the Jackson day banquet at Lafayette
the other night. in which he jumped
all over Marshall and declared in p1air
words that he did not regard him as q
strong man for the presidency. Thi:
speech created sensation throughout

: ,andard Steel Car Co. May
Shut Down Because of
Trouble There; officials
Tried to Keep as Many
Men at Work as Possible.
AFFIDAvITs ISSUED

Afndavits have been issued against
nine of the strikers at the STANDARD
Steel Car com Rny's plant, who are
charged with d orderly conduct. The
afhdavits have KIN placed In the hands
Of Judge Frank ID. Prest and warrants
have been issued. 1T is expected that
arrests Will be made this afternoon Oh
tomorrow morning.
1t Is thought that the warrants are
for number of agitators from McKees
Rocks, who are said to have been re-
sponxtbie for the agitation which re-
suited in the strike.
1t Is said that the Standard Steel Car
company may be closed on account OF
the strike Not that the situation is
very serious so far as the strike is con-
cerned. hut the company has been held
up for the want of materials, and 1t is
is said that now is a very opportune
time to close down the plant and let
some of the discontented employees seek
positions elsewhere.
According to certain reports, the
ST Ike could not have been called at a
more opportune time for the company.
The company has plenty of orders on
hand, but 1T has no materials.
Try TO Keep Them Employed.
As it is an effort has been made to
keep the men employed so that when
the materials come y thsrs would be

hand with which to organize the work
in the plant.
The company also thought 1t owed
something to it's employees and SO rath-
er than discharge them altogether they
were given a little work so that they
could provide for their families until
the plant could be started to running
full force.
The men do not seem to understand
this and have quit. That is, number
of them have quit. So it Is reported
that if the strike develops to point
| where it really would be embarrassing
| to the company the plant will be
| closed down until the men are finally
ready to go to work.
| The saloonkeepers in the Standard
district prevailed upon Mayor Becker
| to permit them to open the saloons,
and today they are all opened for the
| first time since the strike began.
! There has been no violence in the
strike so far, and this is believed to be
! due to the determined way in which
| the matteho has been hanled by Chief
| of Police Peter Austgen. Some of the
men are going back to work and few
are quitting SO that the number of mer
! who are out is about the same as it was
| yesterday.

NOW is THE
Time FOR IT
Appropriation A Will Be Made
as Soon as Settlement
Can Be Made.

The Holman street bridge propo-
sition is now tied up on account Of
the uncertainty of the county coun-
cilmen and the county commission
ers as to what share the Hammond,
Whiting G. East Chicago Electric
Railway company is to bear the cost.
The street railway company has
not promised to shoulder any Of the
expense of building this bridge, but
both the county commissioners and
the county counciImen are of the
opinion that in view of the fact that
the wear and tear on the bridge lis
largely due to the traffic of the street
cars that the company should pay
at least a small portion of the cost
OF construction and maintainence.
VOW II T9zE TIME.
It Is said to BE a p3aTficuia rly -s'of1.er-szl
tune time for the city of Hammond
to compel the company to pay its share
of the cost of building this bridge in
view of the fact that it already has
a monopoly of two of the bridges IN
the city for nterurban purposes, and is
seeking a monopoly of third through
the East Chicago extension, which the
local company is now seeking.
WAITING On COMPANY.
AS soon as a settlement can be made
between the street car company and the
county commissioners, the appropria-
ton for the bridge will be made. The
county commissioners have a similar
problem at East Chicago, where the
plan to build bridge over the canal on
| Chicago avenue is held UP pending the
acceptance of the canal by the govern
ment and the adoption. of the govtrn-
ment regulations regarding width and
draw bridges.
WHAT THEY CLAIM.
For instance the county commissions
ers claim it would be foolish for them
! to guess at the requirements the gov
! ernment will make after it takes over
/ the canal, and then find after the bridge
| had been ordered that it would have to
/ be changed or rebuilt to meet the de-
mands of the government.

TO FIGHT FOR
PRINCIPLES
Attorneys Have Shown That
Large Number of Names
Were Secured by Fraud.

Judge John H. Gillett, who has
been the leading counsel of Theodore
Binzen and James Scanlon in the ef-
fort to knock out the Gary remon-
STRANGE, stated today that he and his
colleagues were very seriously con-
siderine' the question of taking an
appeal from Judge Harry B. Tuthilrs
decision.
This Is a surprise to many people
who have been watching the case.
The impression was general that
Judge Tuthills decision In the mat
ter would be taken as final. 1t was
argued that there was little use in
appealing the case, as it could not
possibly be tried in the supreme court

THEIR PLACE OF MEETING
Inference Plainly Set Forth Was Not
by Any Means What the Lady
Dean Meant.

The lady dean of a well-known
girls college, being very much an
noyed that the girls after chapel on
Sunday morning waited around the en-
trance of the assembly room and
stood in groups on the stairs instead
of dispensing at once, resolved to in.
stitute reform. So at the regular
chapel service one morning She arose
with much dignity and made the fol
lowing remarks:
Il have noticed growing tendency
among the young women to linger
about the chapel Sunday mornings
blocking the halls and stairs. Here
after the following order will be pre-
served in leaving chapel: First the
president will pass away. Then viii
pass away. Then the faculty members
will pass away, and finally the stu
dent body by classes will pass away
and we will all meet below"
It is needless to say why she never
finished her sentence.
