Whiting. Ind. Aug. 5.-Hon. Frank
Gavit has returned from his European
trip and other than the fact that he is
suffering from a bad cold he Is feeling
splendidly. Mr.. Gavit was very optim-
istic over the reports he has received
of the political situation since he re-
turned and believes that the entire
county and legislative ticket will be
elected this fall
His stay in Europe was not as long
as he had originally expected, but he
thoroughly enjoyed the ocean journey
both ways. He expects to be in Ham
mond this afternoon or in the near fu-
ture to talk over the political situa-
tion with his friends.
Mr.. Gavit took occasion to deny that
he had anything to do with the Nc

unequivocally that if ever he or the

franchise that he will ask for it him
self and will never seek it under cover.

of Wesley Haines occurred at the home
of his daughter, Mrs. Belle Gold, of
Schrage avenue yesterday at noon.
Twelve days before Mr. Haines fell

have sustained was broken arm
When there was no Improvement in
his condition it was determined that he
had also received internal injuries For
the twelve days he never took nourish-
ment, existing merely on his vitality.
He was unconscious the greater part
of the time, and although he was hale
and hearty up to the time of the acci-
dent, had her survived he would have
undoubtedly been invalid. and so
much did he suffer that it was a relief
to those gathered at his bedside to
know that he would suffer no more.
Wesley Haines was born on the
Weao plains, in Indiana, seventy-six
years ago. He has lived in MANY IN
diana cities and just came to Whiting
in 1898, after which he went to
Brookston, and returned here in 1904.

posed of Emil Glanson, L E. Marshall
and George Mather pleaded guilty IN
the city court this morning to having
defaced the property of the South
COMPANY Upon a.
plea Of the defending attorney, D. E.
Boone, the trio were let off with the
minimum sentence, 81 and costs,
amounting to $33 for the threee. The
fines and costs were paid out of the
funds of the bill posters union, OF
which Glanson and Marshall are mem-
bers. They were warned by Judge Bar
nett not to repeat the offense, as the
statute carries with It a provision ac-
cording to which the offender may be
jailed for twelve months.
Glanson, Mathers and Marshall were
caught in the act last Saturday in de-
facing the billboards of the South
Shore Advertising company In Ham

this brought about the big spIotches

DEMAND
ACTION ON

Another Lot of Taxpayers
Want Columbia Avenue
Bridge Thrown Open to
Public; Some Denounce
City Administration.

The opening of the Calumet avenue
bridge and its approaches to traffic
and the stand taken by THE TIMES
has almost without exception met with
the warmest approval on the part of
the taxpayers of Hammond.
In addition to the large number OF
people who have been interviewed by
TINES reporters on the topic of the
day. The following are given today
and there are more to follow:
PETER CRUMPACKER-I hope THE
TIMES will roast the city administra ton
until it finally is forced to take action
in the Columbia avenue bridge matterr.
1t is q shame that the bridge has not
been opened to traffic long before this.
RICHARD SCHAAF-I have been
over to East Chicago today and l find
that the people of that city are very
much interested in the opening of the
Columbia avenue bridge. They realize
that it will give them a new inlet into
Hammond. They are also interested as
taxpayers.
FRED KROST-I know nothing about
the merits of the controversy between
the city and the county commissioners
and the city officials as to whom should
build the approaches to the Columbia
avenue bridge, but 1 am certain that
the bridge should be opened to traffic a.
once
]. NJ BRADFORD-If the city admin
istration promised that it would build
the approaches to the Columbia avenue
bridge It should do so.
CHARLES LAVENE said that he
thought Columbia avenue ought to be
opened to traffic at once. He said
he understood that the county had let

road and the approaches, but he learned
later that the job had been held up on
account of the inability of the county
to sell the bonds.

hc at once. What did they build 1T for?
HENRY WHITAKER-What if the
old Calumet avenue bridge should be
put out of commission? The city of
Hammond would be greatly imperiled
by fire.
d. Z. BOONE-It is a shame the
bridge has not been completed long
before this. The idea that a city the
size of Hammond should be deprived of
the use of bridge that has already
been built is outrageous
JACK wALKER-It is an outrage
that the bridge has not been opened
before. The city of Hammond is too
big to have to put up with such a
botch of a Job. What is matter of a
few hundred dollars compared with the
good that the bridge would do the
