ing over the situation prior to Begin

Mr. Doran is surprised to. learn that

Mr.. Doran wanted eighteen enumera-

MAYOR WILL
Be ONE OF
SPEAKERS

Mayor Becker will be one Of the
principal speakers next Saturday at a
luncheon given by the City club in Chi
cago. Mayor Becker will discuss the
question whether the United States
government should open the sag chan
mel into the drainage canal or not. He
is, of course. decidedly in favor of the
project. not only because he is con-
vinced that it would be one of the
greatest assets of this region. but also
that the lake level of Lake Michigan
would not be materially affected. He
has given the subject much thought
and study and will undoubtedly be able
to present some incontrovertible facts
and figures o nthe question.

COUNCIL
CUTS|T OFF
Appropriation for Bascule
Bridge Over Calumet at
Holman st. Shaved Con-
siderably by Lake County
Board.

The Lake county council last evening
appropriated SIS 900 for a new bascule
bridge to cross the Calumet river at
Holman street. The next step Will be
to advertise for bids and It is possible
that the work on the new bridge can
begin soon enough SO that the abut-
ments can be put in this year.
This will make it possible for the
structural work to go on during the
winter and the bridge will be ready for
traffic by next spring. The new bridge
viii be one of the. most modern in the
city. It will be of the bascule type and
will be operated by electricity.
Only one-haIf of the bridge will be
built until the river is opened for
navigation and then the other half will
be constructed The plans and speci-
f1cations. call for a span of eighty feet.
The blank span will be of the same
width. and when the bridge IS finally
completed it will be $50 feet long.
Cut Appropriation.
The appropriation asked for was $s5.-
1000, but it was cut to s75, 900 by the
commissioners. Many OF them wanted
the bridge nafrower. but Mayor Becker.
the Hammond board of public works
and Street Commissioner kuhlman
were present and urged that the Wider
bridge be built. Mayor Becker made a
speech in which he argued that the
present and prospective demands of
traffic would make the wider bridge
necessary.
While the bridge will not be all that
was desired the only difference in the
bridge that will be built and the one
that was asked for is that the former
will be lighter
The county comm ssioners also made
! an appropriation of $1,000 for a bridge
over the creek at Lowell. This bridge
is badly needed, and it is generally
! agreed that the appropriation is de-
served.

Corrupt Practices Exposed.

During the week there has come to
light, as a result of the trial Of Police
Capt. Ward, evidence of corruption in
volving more than one high police Off
cial. The evidence adduced indicates that
a system of petty grating upon dis
orderly houses in this city has been in
vogue for some time. The revelations
show. 1t is declared, that a prominent
college professor, who was caught in a
raid, but whose name was suppressed by
the police. was made the victim of black
mailers. and SO heavy did their demands
become that he was forced to leave this
city, and is now in Europe with his
family
Witnesses whose testimony has been
corroborated in such a manner as to make
1t unimpeachable, it Is stated, have shown
that a system of graft on the part of
ward politicians has been practiced, and
that numerous disorderly houses and
saloons that kept open Sundays have
been paying for protection" And the
end is not in sight There are those who
claim to be in possession of facts in con-
nection with the investigation who do not
hesitate to say that the Ward trial will
result In the biggest shake-up in the police
department that the city has ever known.

Big Three Down Talbot.

One does not need to be an old student
Of politics in this state to see that the
aim of the present big three has been to
turn Talbott's picture to the wall. and
by knocking out the candidacy of Car
willie D. Benson for the speakership OF
the house they have thus far succeeded
to a wonderful degree. But even the
enemies of Talbot are forced to admit
that Smith and German were unable to
put the 'easy boss out without the as
sistance of Gov. Crothers. And even at
that Crothers found it necessary to come
out openly and declare for Peoples be-
fore he could put the canker worm into
the vitals OF the Benson boom.
Now, Talbot has never been known as
a gutter. He Is politician who hobs
up serenely even when defeated-which is
indeed a rare occurrence-and he can be
depended upon to rally around him enough
of the members of the house of dele
gates to make it interesting for the big
three when they may attempt any legis-
lation that Is calculated to injure the
political fortunes of Talbot in his own
particular bailiwick. The "easy boss
has a tremendous corporation influence
behind him, and while he will seemingly
be down and out at Annapolis next ses-
sion he may at any moment rally enough
strength to give the bosses an ''unpleas-
ant quarter of an hour"

Special Correspondence Of The Star
BALTIMORE, Md. January 1. 1910.
The opening Of the legislative session at
Annapolis next Wednesday and the ex-
posture Of petty grating in the police de-
partment Of this city are just now occu-
plying the public attention
A caucus of the democratic members OF
the legislature has been called by State
Chairman Vandiver for the purpose of Sc
lecting candidates for presiding officers
in the two houses. The leaders will per-
sist in saying that these officers will be
chosen in caucus. but it is well understood
that Arthur p. German Of Howard county
will be nominated for president of the
senate and Adam Peoples Of Cecil county
will be the nominee for the house speak
ership. And the leaders have been SO
conslderate that Speaker Peoples will not
even have to worry over the making up
Of the slate for committee appointments.
The leaders have done the work for him,
and his only labor in that connection will
be to make the announcements.
