would sleep over it and decide the next
day. Yesterday he gave out a state
ment that he would not decline the
honor. The question now arises as to
what effect his nomination will have in
the coming campaign. VIII Kern be
any stronger this year than he has
been in political campaigns hereto
fore?
FRIENDSHIP FOR KERN.
One of the questions that enters into
tie matter is Tom Taggart's friendship
for Kern. Taggart who was can
didate for the nomination for senator.
says that he was not candidate in
his own interest. but on behalf of Kern
and for the benefit of Kern alone. He
says he would rather see John Kern
senator than to be senator himself.
But he added that he did not suppose
the people would believe him when he
made that statement.
Kern, however. does not believe that
Taggart got into the race to help him
get the nomination. because Kern was
not at any time a candidate. Taggart
called on Kern some time ago and ask
ed him If he was going to be can
didate for senator and Kern told him
he was not. Taggart told him he would
be for him if he was candidate, but
that If he would not run he (TaggarD
would be a candidate And then he
made his announcement. With his
friend. Taggart, in the race, and John
E. Lamb a candidate, there would not
have been any room for Kern, even If
he had wanted to run So he staid
out of it.
Taggart has been discredited by his
own party, and it will be interesting to
see how effectively he has been
souelched and whether he will stay
squelched. The belief is that he will
not. 1t is believed that he will do some
hard work for Kern, and If he does. II
is likely to raise the belief that Kern
is his candidate If this belief gets
abroad in the state it is almost certain
that Kern would suffer from it, for
Taggart is not likely to have the same
amount of influence this year that he
has had in the past.
POT OF SURPRISES.
| The democratic state convention
proved TO be a veritable pot of sur
prises In the first place no one. not
even the governor himself. had any
hopes that the governors plan to have
the convention nominate a candidate
|
ed like a lead pipe cinch that it would
fail. The Taggart people opposing 1t
claimed they had a mjority of 39E
against 1t in the convention, although
everybody else regarded this as a lit
tie bit high.
Even the committees were organized
against the governors plan Taggar
| appeared to have absolute control O.
the convention from one end to the
other. But when the vote was takeI
the governors plan carried by a ma
jority OF thirty votes out of the tota

1t is estimated that the loss to Ham

hundreds of thousands of dollars a

Wood Says Go Ahead.
Fitzgerald talked with W. j. Wood,
the chairman of the railroad commits
sion. who seemed very much interested
in his presentation of the Calumet re-
gion's grievance. Mr. Fitzgerald was
given a respectful hearing and was In
formed that If the manufacturers of
the region would present their case IN
writing 1t would receive the careful
consideration of the railway commits
sion
1t is understood that a number of the
manufacturers in the Calumet region
who sell railway equipment to the rail-
roads in Indiana are a little cautious
about taking any action in opposition
k to the proposed increase in rates, but
it is expected that they will find a way
to have voice in the matter.
At any rate 1t is known that they are

crease. 1t Is possible that they will
give their moral support to the fight
that will be carried on by the more in
dependent manufacturers.

ARRESTED IN HUNGARY
FOR WHITING MURDER
Especial to THE TrMEs,)

Whiting. Ind, April 3o.-On Sept. Is,
1907, Anton Zachar. an ex-boarder in
the home of Steve Koval. shot and
killed the latter when Koval returned
home from work unexpectedly and
found Zachar being entertained by
Koval's wife.
Zachar escaped at that time and was
later traced to Toledo. but by the time
CHIEF Lawler got there he had gone
again.
Yesterday Prosecuting Attorney c.
E. Greenwald received a letter from
the Hungarian counsel in Chicago in
regards to Zachar. It told of his be-
ing in Hungary and being arrested
for the crime When arrested Zachar
alias Nogi, said he had been acquitted
in America. 1t was in inquiry to this
statement that the letter was written

out of it in fairly good shape. with
little advantage for either side, as far
as can be determined now.
IT is said to be the intention of both
parties to put off the real opening of
the 1910 campaign until along about
the first of September. it being the
opinion of the leaders that the two
months following that date will give
the two parties plenty of time in
which to spread their gospel and line
up things for the election. 1t is even
talked about that the campaign may
not open until the middle of Septem-
Der, but it is more likely that it will
be opened the first of that month. And
from that time forward things will
hum, and the voice of the speIIbinder
will be heard throughout the state
John w. Kern has accepted the NOM
ination of the democrats for United
States senator, although he did not
seek the place and made two speeches
to the convention, in both of which he
made it plain that he was not a can
didate and that he could not take the
nomination If offered to him. 1t was
remarkable instance of the office
seeking the man.
Kern did not know what to do about
it after the convention had made the
nomination After he made his speech

and went to his law office, believine
that he had headed Off the movement In

TAGGART WHIPPED.
Then it dawned on the>crowd that
Taggart had been whipped to a finish
by Governor Marshall and John E.
Lamb Taggart himself admitted when
he cast Marion countys vote for Kern
that the Taggart machine was in the
scrap heap. 1t was the first time in all
his life that Taggart had been whip
ped so completely. He had been fight
ing for his political life, just as was
stated In these dispatches some time
ago. 1t meant either the downfall of
Taggart or of Governor Marshall, and
it was the general opinion that Tag
CART was not going to be the loser.
1t is a question whether Taggart will
be able to gather up his machine and
get the pieces together again. OF
course5 he will try, and he will con-
tinue to be power in Indiana politics,
but there is belief that he is very
much dawn and out as boss.
Taggart's slate of candidates for the
various state nominations went through
all right. BY this is meant that an
of the candidates nominated were
Taggart followers.
Several days ago. in these dispatches
there was made a prediction of the
probable nominations at the democratic

LEAGUE MEETING
INTERESTS GARY

The directors of the I. NJ. league held
a most important meeting yesterday
afternoon at South Bend with all of
the members present except President
Robert E. Proctor, who was unable to
be present because Of a previous BUSH
ness engagement.
Probably the most important business
transacted was the preparation of the
schedule Of the first 1--WE games, or I'M
til May 80. These games have been
arranged so that Gary will be on the
road for the first six games, or until
the arrangements can be completed for
a ball park The money for the dues
for joining the national association
was forwarded and the league will now
be protected.
Another matter which was also con-
sidered was the attempt on the part of
the president to secure a reduced rate
on the interurbans for the various
teams when travelling, which will make
the expense of travelling team nomi-
nal The matter of baseballs and UNI
pires and other matters in connection
with the league were also considered.
Tomorrow afternoon a great crowd
is expected to witness the game be-
tween Gary and the Whiting Grays.
which will be played IN the new Rob
ertsda1e park and which will be opened
up by this time. Not only will the
mayors of the various city be present
on this occasion, but there will be a
big brass band which will be hired for
the afternoon to make the noise.
At this game, where a crowd of 1900
at least is expected, the supremacy OF
the county will be settled, as 1t is recog-
nized that from the reputation of the
men playing on the teams that they are
the two strongest in the county.

ing for his match with Ben Luck of

e.
The story in the TribuneIs all bunk,
as every member of the club can testi-
fy.' said Clark this morning. The
match was not even exciting and there
was not the slightest blood spilled.
Neither was there a knockout. The
story was evidently handed in by one
of the fighters with the idea of boost
ing his own game. The Brunswick Ath-
ietic club was organized for clean sport
and prize fighters are allowed. The
police are welcome at any time to wit

Boston, April 24.-The mystery sur

alumnus who had offered 100000 to
build a new bridge over the Charles
river as an approach to the Stadium
was cleared today. when it was learn

Objections to the new bridge from
the war department and a few proper

said, and an artistic approach to the
big athletic field is now assured.
