Special Prosecutor Otto J. Bruce in
formed THE TINES yesterday after
noon that the trial of the Gary "blind-
pig" cases had been postponed from
Friday. the day for which they were
originally set. to Monday, May 2.

the small army of witnesses to migrate
to the country seat this week. but they
wiii have to be on hand Monday morn
ing. together with the various indicted
saloonkeepers against whom the fight
will be renewed by the state. 1t is
estimated that the number of witnesses
in these cases, who will all have to
appear, be ready to testify in any case
they might be called. is about sixty
Attorney Bruce stated this morning
that the first case TO be tried was that
OF DR.. Watson Of Tolleston, but that it
was his impression that he intended to
plead guilty and this would make a
trial unnecessary.
If this is the case. the first man on
trial Monday will be John Bennett The

will not come up for trial in the order
they had been previousl= set for.

indianapolis. April 2S.-T. Edwin
Bell. of Hammond, formerly a member
of the state senate, who called at the
republican state headquarters yester-
day, left word that the talk of bring
ing out an independent congressional
candidate in the Tenth district against
Congressman Crumpacker is not caus-
ing any alarm among Mr.. Crumpacker's
friends or republicans generally.
The Tenth district will give Con-
gresham Crumpacker a majority of
at least 5000" said Mr.. Bell. He is
held in high regard in the district. and
do not think that the Endorsement
of the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill is go
ing to hurt him any. There are some
strong insurgent republicans who are
not favorably impressed with the plat
form, but the Tenth Is a large manu-
featuring district, and the farmers are
prosperous.
The steel company has increased
the wages of its employees. Wages
employees in the Tenth, and we see no
not be reelected.
THE talk of an independent insur-
gent candidate is not taken seriously.
III ldCls HHoSt oL The ISpuoICdHS are
convinced that an independent ticket
would be to Mr. Crumpacker's advan-
tage.'
Mr.. Bell stated that democratic news
papers in the northern part of the
Tenth district are boosting A f.
Knots, former mayor of Hammond, for
congress. They are suggesting that
the insurgent republicans shall nom
mate him and that the demOcratic CON
vention shall follow with an indorse-
ment of his candidacy. Such a move
