BRYAN WILL
PROBABLY NOT
Be INVITED
Brewery Trust Is Opposed to
Commoner Coming Into
the State; Crawford Fair

Kern's Nomination.
TIMES BUREAU,
AT STATE CAPITOL.

indianapolis, Ind, May 10-There is
some doubt to whether William
Jennings Bryan will be called into IN
diana by the democrats to make
speeches during the coming campaign
in the interest of John w. Kern and
the democratic ticket Ever since Mr.
Kern was nominated for United States
senator by the democratic state con-
vention there has been talk about ask
ing Bryan to come into this state and
make some speeches. It is the belief
of Bryan's friends in Indiana, and he
has many of them. by the way, that his
presence in this state would arouse
great enthusiasm and do much good for
the democratic state ticket and for
Kern.
He Can Stir Them Up.
There is no other man in the coun-
try. with the possible exception of
Theodore Roosevelt that has ever
stirred up the people of Indiana with
meetings and speeches like BRYAN.
Whenever he comes into this state he
is always met by tremendous crowd,
no matter whether he is to speak on
politics. religion or something else 1t
is just the fact that it is Bryan that is
to speak. Everybody recognizes his
power as a drawing card.
It was this fact. and the further fact
that Bryan is the biggest democrat in
the country that caused his friends to
urge that he be asked to come into this
state and help in the campaign.
1T Won't BE sent.
But it is the belief now of good
many that the invitation to Bryan may
never be sent, for the reason that il

Another Evidence Of Federal
Judges Dislike for Ham

Lake county is stung.

Lake county is stung.
Judge A. B. Anderson, Judge of the
federal court, has decreed that here
after all bankruptcy cases in the
Calumet district must be taken before
Referee in Bankruptcy Harry c..
Sheridan of Frankfort, Indiana.
This means that the cost of bank
ruptcy proceedings in this district
will be increased 100 per cent as all
of the travelling expenses of the
litigants and their attorneys will
have to be added to the expense.
tANDERsON'S DECREE.
And this is Judge Andersons decree
in spite of the fact that the business
that has been done by the Hammond
referee was larger than that done by
any other referee in the state with
the one exception of the one in Indiana
polls.
The lawyers of Lake county take
this as another evidence of Judge An
derson's grudge against Hammond.
They are q unit In declaring that it
is an outrage that all of the cities In
Lake. Porter, La Porte, St. Joseph,
Marshall and Starke ounties will have
to go to the little town of Frankfort
with their bankruptcy business.
MAKES DIVISION KNOWN.

made known in letter which he wrote

CHITTENDEN DIVORCE CASE
Mrs. Jay Chittenden Tells of Her Hus-
bands Treatment

The divorce suit of Clara Chittenden
VS.. Jay Chittenden was tried before
Judge Pau yesterday afternoon. W.
r. Geddes appeared for the plaintiff,
and there was no appearance for the
defendant. The suit was based on al
legged habitual drunkenness and cruel
and inhuman treatment. The plaintiff
took the stand in her own behalf and
told of her marriage to Mr.. Chittenden
in 1885, and of their having two chill
dren, both of age. She said that the
defendants i'll treatment of her began
twenty years ago and had continued
ever since. She said that he had
whipped her, had smashed the furni-
ture, had called her bad names, and
had abused her mother. These actions
were mostly when he was drunk
Judge Pau decided to grant the di.
vorce, and requested Mr.. Geddes to
prepare the order. Chittenden is the
man who, the other evening, made
bluff at cutting his own throat, but
only slit the skin.

Harley Tackles starts Habeas Corpus
Proceedings in Oregon.

Some delay has been occassioned in
getting Harley Tackles back from Ore
gon City, Oregon, on account of habeas
corpus proceedings that have been
started in his behalf. He retained an
attorney when arresed by Sheriff Don
anue and is fighting his return. Sher-
iff Donahue expects to get back with
his man the latter end OF the week, if
nothing happens. Tackles is wanted
on the charge of defrauding the big
mill out of 5000 to $780,
a letter received from Sheriff Dona
hue last night states that the hearing
on the habeas corpus proceedings was
to be had Monday last at IL a. m.
In case Tackles lost, he could still APP
peal to the supreme court and delay
matters. The governor stated that the
requistion papers were perfect, but he
had been served with an order to delay
acting while the habeas corpus case
was pending.

WANT THE STREETS OPENED
L'Huillier Residents Petition the Town
Board for Relief.

The residents of l. Huillier are catching
the spirit of progress and civic improve
ment and have with only three exxcep-
TONS signed petition to the town board
of South Bend, asking that it straighten
out the streets and open them through,
tear down the fences that are enclosing
the streets, and make of the community
the nice looking little place that the
plat calls for. The town board met
Monday, and the petition was presented
to it, and the board decided to act
favorably upon the request. The mat
ter will come up later.
While the improvements are being
made, it might be well to improve the
condition of the streets in L'Huillier. The
town board should do something for the
hamlet, which pays considerable tax
and has had little in return. Good,
smooth roads ought to be made, and
the residents should construct boulevards.
They will then have as pretty place
to live as can be found.

TWELVE MILLION
DOLLARS VALUE Of
.M|NNES0TAAUT0s
State Secretary Estimates That Three
Thousand New Cars Have Been
Bought in State This Year.

Twelve million dollars worth of au.
tomobiles are owned by Minnesota peo-
pie according to estimates by Julius
Schmahl, secretary of state. The de-
mand for auto licenses continues as
brisk as ever, although the year is
half over. Yesterday tag No. 1850
went out and today the 10000 mark
will be reached, which means that
5000 new machines have been purchased
by Minnesota people this year, as the
number of tags last year was only
about 1000. Mr. Schmahl expects that
the 1000 figure will be reached be-
fore the year is over.
The average cost of the cars used in
this state is estimated at little over
S 900, so that the amount invested i'm
is approximately $l2,0O0,-
600.

CORPORATIONS PAYING UP
Revenue Office Thinks Few Minnesota
Companies Will Be Delinquent.

5. L. Trussell, deputy collector of in
ternal revenue for the Minnesota dis.
trict, today expressed the opinion that
very few Minnesota corporations
against whom the new corporation tax
has been assessed will have failed to
pay this tax during the month of June
The early morning mail brought
checks from seventy-five companies, to
the amount of l per cent of the net
profits of the companies during the
year 1909. The ten o'clock mail brought
Ill almost as many more, and Mr.
Trussell estimated that the total num-
Der of companies that would have paid
before the day was over would be at
least $50. He thought checks from
about 300 more companies would come
III tomorrow.
The total number of those who had
paid when the office closed last night
was 755, leaving $40 yet to be heard
from. With $50 paying today and 800
tomorrow. there will be left l29 to
pay on the last day of the month.
After that IA ) per cent penalty will be
added to the tax of every delinquent.
On July penalty of l per cent "a
month will begin to accrue Oh the
amount of the tax, but not on the >
per cent penalty. On that same day
notice will be sent to every delinquent.
After about ten days another notice
will be sent to those whose taxes still
remain unpaid. If after ten days more,
any are still unpaid, deputy will be
sent out to collect the tax, and if nee
essary, to seize and sell some of the
property to each delinquent corpora
ton.
The largest amount yet paid by any
company in Minnesota WAS received to-
day, sum slightly exceeding $49,OOo.
There are four still larger taxes to be
collected, the largest being in the neigh
borhood OF 100000. There was just one
company whose tax was cent. The
total amount to be raised on the 1909
earnings of Minnesota corporations is
$l,l39,777.94.

JUNE BRIDE RECORD BROKEN
Three Thousand Three Hundred and
Forty-Four Marriage Licenses Is
sued This Month in Chicago.

Chicago, June 29.-The cost of living
problem apparently is not worrying
Chicago. There will be more June brides
in this city this month than ever be-
fore in its history.
The record up to this year was held
by June, 1907. In that month 3,3OS
marriage licenses were issued. Yester-
day, with three more days yet to be
heard from, the month of June, 1910,
had piled up the significant total of
1914. BY the end of the month the
total is expected to reach something
like 1000.
The number of June brides has al
ways been regarded in Chicago as an
indication of business conditions. In
hard times people don't get married;
in good times they do.

TIES TO BUILD DITCH.
Work Will Involve an Expenditure of
S676,000 and the State will Finance

Application will be made 70 the state
investment board in a few days by the
counties of Beltrami and Marshall for
a loan of $l50,000 as first installment
on the cost of great drainage ditch.
W. r. Mackenzie Of Bemidi says the
estimated cost Of this ditch is $3.50. 600
With its three main bitches and the
laterals it viii be 552 miles long, with
a road on every section line, and will
drain 100000 acres of land in eastern
Marshall and northern Beltrami coun-
ties Just west of one of the Indian res
ervation tracts opened for homestead
entry June 20.
Mr. Mackenzie was one of the COM
mittee from the Northern Minnesota
Development association which waited
day. and requested the board to sell
bonds of other states now neld for the
school fund and use the money to help
drainage work.
''The decision of the board to sell
these outside bonds as tn emOnev is
needed for applications at home, will
release S2,000,000 of state money for
use in Northern Minnesota" said Mr.
Mackenzie today. 'There is vast
amount of work waiting for funds, and
/ have no doubt all this money will be
needed. The loans will be amply Sc
cured, for the credit of the counties is
behind them, and the land benefited

for twenty years. The bonds are Sc
cured by the land, and when the bitches
are in the land will be first class agri-

can get the money. The bond market
has been poor, so they have not been
sold. The contractors are bound to
take them if we ask it. but they will
get five per cent. and the state will

ties considerable interest. Even then
the state will be getting three quarters
to one per cent more interest than it
is drawing on the foreign bonds
About two-thirds of the ditch re-
ferred to is in Marshall county, and the
in Beltrami. When the first

CROP TO BE AN AVERAGE ONE
Commissioned Welsh Optimistic Ovel
the Outlook.

Minnesota crop conditions are far
ahead of those in adjoining states, ac-
cording to George Welsh, immigration
commissioner. Mr.. Welsh said this
morning that he was sure all of the
western side of the state would have a
crop close to the average, though be-
low the bumper yield of last year.
The good area, according to Mr.
Welsh, extends south to the line, north
to Canada and east to Mankato. East
of that town conditions are not so gen.
orally good. There are spots where
the yield will be satisfactory, but in
other localities the crop is bad.
Minnesota corn has been greatly ben,
