CORONER
SHANKL|N
ANNOUNCES

Dr. E. NJ. Shanklin today announces
his candidacy for the office of county
coroner for the second term. The term
of office for coroner is only two years,
and this makes it necessary for DR..
Shanklin to make the announcement of
his candidacy for reelection just two
months after he became coroner
For this reason the second term is al
ways given to the present incumbent
DR.. Shanklin will have no opposition
for the nomination and his election is
assured
While there cannot be much said
about DIR -Shank1fns work in the Office
In view OF the fact that he has only
had charge for two months. yet owing
to the sickness of Former Coroner Cor
don, DR.. Shanklin practically had charge
of his office for over two years and had
an opportunity to show what he could
do.
DIR. Shanklin has begun the work OF
| thoroughly systematizing his office and
the appointment of his deputies who
are to aid him in the coming two years
of his incumbency was generally salts
factory over the county.
There are certain statistics regard
ing violent deaths in a locality which
| is industrial in It's character and DR..
Shanklin proposes to classify and tab
| ulate these so that the general public
| may get an idea of what is the cause
of the high mortality among work
ingmen in this locality.
In doing this the way will be made
clear for the adoption OF measures
that will prevent so many accidents
| and fatalities.

b|NGHAM'S
PLAN FINDS
NO FAVOR
Local Insurance Men Dis
agree With Attorney
General on Proposition Of
Rate Making; Matter of
Equalization Would Fade.

j. g. Blackburn, one OF the leading in
surance men of the city, does not APP
prove of the steps that are being taxi
en- by Attorney General James Bingham
of Indiana to prevent rate making by
the companies of the state.
Mr. Blackburn says that insurance is
different from any otaer thing that is
sold, in view of the fact that no two
companies will take the same view of a
risk.
One company may think the charge
should be t1.50, while others think 1t
should be S1.25, and. perhaps. both will
have good reasons for their opinion
The result is that one man will be
charged too much for the risk, while
the other will be charged too little.
To eQualize the matter all of the in
surance companies of the state got to-
gether. according to Mr.. Blackburn,
and decided to have a board eouaIize
the rates
Professional rate makers were sent
into every community and established
fxed rates on certain kinds of risks.
In the larger towns a stamper was en-
pioyed to see that all of the agents
adhered to the rates that had been es-
tablished.
Irish Loses Job.
]. Floyd Irish was the stamper In
this city. When on May 8, 1909. the
Insurance companies of the state were
restrained from entering into an agree
ment regarding rates the office which
Mr.. irish occupied was abolished
Attorney James Bingham is now try
ing to show that the companies are
still In a secret agreement regarding
these rates. Mr. Blackburn did not
say whether or not the several COM
panies are working under a separate
agreement, but he did think that the
only fair and equitable way of arriving
at the proper rate for insurance is to
have one man determine the rate.

BORnAN CLOSES
A BIG DEAL
Tolleston Real Estate Deals
Are Coming Fast These
Bright Days.
Especial to THE TrMEs)

Tolleston, Ind, March Among the
Tolleston of recent date the following
are reported:
Otto C. Bormann, president of the
Borman Real Estate exchange, reports
the sale of the ninety -seven-foot corner
on Chicago avenue and First street.
The purchaser is Mr.. Goodman of Gary,
the consideration being $4,000.
The Borman Real Estate exchange
also negotiated the sale of the corner
property at Second avenue and Mar
tina street for the sum of $4,000, S.
Cohen being the purchaser. Mr.. Cohen
has decided to improve this property
at once with an $4,000 brick building.
The building is to be two-story struc-
ture, with a saloon room on the first
floor and living rooms above.
Winter Buys Property.
Another sale reported is the corner
at Fifteenth avenue and First street,
NJ. NJ Winter being the purchaser. This
corner is 65x127 and was purchased
with the purpose for the erection of
a large store building in the near flu
ture- In addition to these sales the
exchange also reports the sale of quite
a number of residence lots to parties
who are figuring on to build in the
spring.
Mr.. Gruenwald, the Tolleston jewel
er. is having material hauled to his
vacant lot on Bormann boulevard for
his business building which he will
erect there. Mr. Gruenwald will be
one OF the pioneers on Bormann boule-
ward. and the building that he will
erect will be a credit to Tolleston at
large.
The Indications are that II the
weather now opens that within thirty
days there will be more than a score
of building In progress of construction.
Thus far the bad weather had inter
fered materially with any work in that
line.

This is simply a plain statement of
the forces which are arrayed against
