Inside Facts of Standpat
Trade Between Burke
and Wilson.

Seattle, Sept. S.-''If | get what
| want from back yonder / will an
nOunce tomorrow my withdrawal
from the senatorial race" said John
l.. Wilson last Saturday.
On Sunday, Wilson's withdrawal
was announced. John L. 'got what
he wanted from back yonder''
What John L. wanted from black
yonder,' according to politicians
who are closest to him, was assur-
ances from President Taft or party
leaders close enough to him to make
delivery certain, the promise that he,
Wilson, would be consulted" on all
matters of federal patronage and
federal policy concerning Washing
ton, just as though he himself were
senator. This agreement, it is
claimed, goes" for the rest of the
Taft administration if Burke is elect
ed to the senate
Burke GOld-bricked.
In short, Wilson, by his superior
strategy, has saved to himself all the
emoluments of the office, and that,
too, whether Burke is elected or de-
feated. Burke is left holding the
sack.
Burke, it is claimed, declined to
negotiate with Wilson along lines
involving the distribution of patron
age. Wilson, it is also understood,
refused to negotiate with Burke
along such lines, feeling confident
that Burke will only be defeated,
and never able to deliver anything
But the intervention of eastern
financial leaders and party leaders
close to President Taft rendered ne
gotiatiOns between the two standpat
candidates on these matters unnec-
essary The negotiations were con-
Quoted by the ''higher-ups."
The representative of the higher
ups" in the negotiations was James
D. Hoge. For weeks Hoge has been
in correspondence with eastern
financial leaders, "close to President
Taft" and with business men and
politicians in all parts of the state,
touching upon the prospective out
come of the senatorial contest. This
correspondence learned from local
leaders and reported to the eastern
leaders that with both candidates in
the race the success of either was
impossible, and that with only one
of them in it was highly improbable.
So the eastern leaders ordered that
one candidate be eliminated and that
desperate effort be made to NOM
mate the other.
Following the negotiations, the
attempt to trade away the senator
ship, and to deliver the voters of
Washington, bound, gagged and la
beled, into the camp of the financial
plunderbund was made.

Assistant Chief Doherty Is trying to
get people to understand that when re-
porting fire the location of the blaze
should be given to the operator at the
telephone station instead of direct to
the Are department. Central will then
transmit the Information to the fire
department. The reason for this is
that there are so many foreigners in
Indiana Harbor and the operators are
more accustomed to talking to them
and therefore can better understand
them than can the members of the fire
company. 1t is deemed wise to have
one rule for all. all who report a.

WHY DID NOT THE
CALUMET FREEZE?
First Time in History That
Ice Refused to Form
on Stream.

A Clark Station man who has been
In the habit of making a harvest OF
Ice each winter from the Calumet riv-
er, near that town, has ben cheated
out of his profits this season because
OF the fact that the river refused to
freeze over. This is he frst year in
the history of that famous stream tina
this has occurred. and the fact Is made
still more curious because of the un-
usual cold weather which has been In
vogue all year.
The failure of the river to freeze
from Gary to point nearly to Ham
mond has excited considerable curios-
ity on the part of old residents in this
vicinity. Only once in the neighbor-
hood of Hammond has 1t been frozen
from shore to shore, and that was only
q thin coating of ice. In the vicinity
of Gary there has not been a particle
OF ice on the river all winter Three
miles south of here the Little Calumet
has been so solid that team of horses
could be driven across it at any time.
Several reasons have been advanced
for this curiosity, one of them being
that the Indiana Steel company had
been pouring hot Stag into the river.
which warmed the waters and carried
1t down the stream. Another man ven
tared to say that it was caused by a
chemical action, which was due to Ger
tain refuse or perhaps chemicals turn
ed into the stream. Others say that
the current has been too strong. but
II is a matter of common knowledge
that IL is not as strong as that of the
Little Calumet, and at times there is
practically no current.

A second indictment cannot be re-
turned until the first cases have been
disposed of, but Judge McMahan is
leaving no loophole whereby the pro-

work some time today.

signers who went the bonds of the
proprietors last time refused to again
go the new bonds and in consequence
several of their number had difficulty

The majority OF the blind pig keep
ers who were given the immunity bath
last week were compelled to appear
again in court today and give new
bonds, and they were disguised beyond
measure at the tang1e that they are
now involved in.
