SWANSONT 10 HAVE
DANIELS OFFICE
Universal Belief That Ex-Gover-
nor Will Receive Ap-
pointment,
DOUBLE PRIMARY NEXT YEAR
Voters Will Decide on Successors
to Senators Martin and
Daniel.
DOUBLE PRIMARY NEXT YEAR

There Is no dissent from the opinion
that Ex-Governor Claude A. Swanson
will be appointed to fill out the unex-
pired term of Senator Daniel, which
will end on March 4, 1911. He will
also be named for the new term begin
ming on that day, subject, Of course, to
the action of the Legislature at the
session which begins in January 1912.
This means that there will be a
ouble primary in Virginia next sum-
mer, The term of Senator Martin
will expire in, March, 1918, and the
next. General Assembly will be called
upon to elect his successor, Thus
there are two Senator's to be elected,
under instructions by the people at
the Democratic primary next summer,
There are few indeed who do not
believe that Mr. Swanson Is to be the
lucky successor of the late Senator,
When he retired from office on Feb
ruary last. it was generally recog-
nized that his active life has hardly
more than begun, His hold upon the
people Of the State is undeniable, and
there Is no reason to think that Gov
ernor Mann has any idea of appointing
another man.
1t Is not, of course, expected that
official action on the succession will
come until after Senator Daniels fu-
neral, but when it does come 1t will

Washington. June 29.-Decisions
country-wi in Importance were
handed down to-day by the Interstate
Commerce Commission. They affect
freight rates-both class and COM
modity-on all transcontinental lines
operating between the Atlantic and
Pacific Oceans. Extensive reductions
were ordered.
The decisions are of what popularity
are knownhas the Pacific coast cases.
The cases were heard last autumn by
the commission on its six weeks trip
to coast and intermountain territory,
and have been under consideration
ever since.
In every instance reductions in the
existing rates complained of were
made, and in some instances they
amounted to nearly so per cent. The
commission found, through its inquiry,
q remarkable rate situation existing
on the Pacific coast, and even more
remarkable one in the intarmountain
territory This is notably true Of the

Resolution.
SINGLE RooK LIST ADOPTED

During the meeting yesterday Of the
State Board of Education, resolution
was offered by IAttorney-G General Sam
uel w. Williams having for its purpose
the abolition Of the State Board Of
School Examiners. AT his own sugges-
ton, it was not pressed at this time.
but was laid over until the next meet
ing, IN September. This postponement,
said Judge Williams last night was
for the purpose of allowing the people
of the State to express their opinions
on. the subject for the guidance of the
board.
Should the resolution be adopted, the
Board of Examiners will pass out Of
existence on January ! next.
The reason given for this action,
which is nothing short of startling,
coming from member of the State
Board, is that the existence Of the Board
of Examiners Is a needless eStrava-
gance, and that it's cost comes finally
from the fund devoted to primary
schools.
Work of Board.
This board has now been in exist
ence for five years. Its work is in
the examination OF the papers of
school teachers and the issuance Of
certificates to them. Further, the en-

MARKET
FOR REALTY
SPASM0D|C

There has been an abatement of the
feverish real estate activity that char
acterized the last weeks in April and
the first weeks of June. Not that the
real estate market shows signs of a re-
lapse, but it seems that the activity is
spasmodic rather than steady
There is, however, a number of small
deals that are being made daily. A
few residence lots are being sold everv
day. Most of these deals that are be-
ing made in south side realty.
The demand for residence lots in
Homewood is most remarkable 1t seems
that people are coming to realize that
the amount of property in Homewood
is limited, and that they will have to
buy now If they want to live in this
locality.
South Calumet avenue is showing
considerable activity, but the lack of
building restrictions and the absence
of regulations to the building line
makes this property less valuable than
in Homewood. where these restrictions
prevail.

HOBART
PICKED BY
HAMMOND

That Hobart has the best chance to
win the track meet at Crown Point is
the reluctant admission made by Can
tain Rulo Minard of the Hammond high
schooi track team, as he says he be-
lieves that his men have only fair
chance to win the Lake county high
school meet at Crown Point next Satur-
day
The team, however, is handicapped bv
the fact that there will be several good
men out of the contest Friederich is
out as result of parental objection
thompson is out for the same reason
and Minard himself will be unable TO
contest on account of an injury he re-
ceived in the northern Indiana track

Great preparations are being made
for the annual field day at Crown Point.
on account of the fact that there has
not been any meet of Importance in
Hammond this year, it is expected that
practically every student in the high.
school will go to Crown Point next Sat
urday.
A special train is to be provided by
the Erie, and it will be possible to re-
turn to Hammond at about 1880 in the
evening after the contest

There will be no Gotch- -zhvszl,a

CASE GOES
OVER UNTIL
SEPTEMBER

The case in which 1t is sought tc
mandate Mayor Knots to send Mat
thew Mcbride to jail instead of LETTING
the suspended sentence stand will
come up again in the Lake superior
court at Crown Point on the first day
OF court in September.
The work so far has been the making
up of the issues. Special Judge Cravens
has ruled that McBride is eliminated
from the case. This, however, means
only that the action must be brought
against Knots alone and not Knots
and the Gary blind pig operator.
After the rest of the issues are made
up in September and the case goes to
trial, should Knots be inundated to
send Mcbride to Jail he will have to
serve his jail sentence. However he
Is eliminated as co-defendant in this
action.
Much remains to be done before the
issues are all raade up and sff1s case
finally goes to trial. 1t Is expected
that the case will require several more
weeks before it is finally tried and a
decision is reached.
The motion of the defense on a nlee
In abatement was overruled. This mo-
tion was made on the ground that the
attorney general of the state of IN
diana or his deputy are alone able to
initiate the proceedings to mandate
Knots to send Mcbride to Jail.

able TO see the comet. haze hung over
the western sky at sundown, when the
comet was expected to be visible. and
this prevented many people from seeing
the comet.
Reports from many of the observa-
tories over the country are to the effect
that the tail of the comet has become
separated from the nucleus or has be-
come twisted in such a manner that
1t appears to be separated so that the
great spectacle that it was expected
