Long before the time that the first
units of the American Sheet and Tin
Plate company and the American
Bridge company are in operation the
new power house for the Indiana Steel
company will be completed.
Construction work is now under way
on the new power house of the steel
company, which is being constructed on
the ground space which has been re-
served to the south of the present pow
er plant.
People of Gary who have passed
through the big power house and were
amazed at the magnitude, little realize
the power that is developed there, yet
the steel company, in order to carry
out its present plans in furnishing
electric power to the subsidiary plants.
will erect the new power house that
will nearly be of double capacity to
that of the present plant.
The operation of the additional blast
furnaces will enable the local plant to
make use of their furnace gas and
thereby developed additional electrical
power The new power plant is di-
rectly south of the present plant and
will be housed in a building 1O5,x575
feet.
There will be ten engines and genera
tor units in the new plant and each en-
CINE will be of a larger size than the
engines in the existing plant. The
cylinders in the new units will be
44x6O in, instead of 44x54 in, and the
generators will be of 5000 XIV. capaci-
ty, compared with $500 XIV. The ca
pacity of the new plant is estimated at
10000 horsepower, or 10000 XIV.

any of them any satisfaction as to
what he thinks of the idea.
1t is pointed out that Governor
Marshall has not at any time made any
positive declaration in favor of the
nomination of senatorship candidate
by the convention. He has only said
that he wants to see the party at large
select the candidate, and inasmuch
as the convention seemed to be the
best available place to have this done
he proposed that 1T be done there.
The Taggart people are saying that
The primary scheme would gee the
question closer to the rank and file
of the party, and that the governor
could agree to this plan without back
ing up from his other position.
There is at least some talk of a com
promise arrangement being made
which would keep the convention from
making a nomination, but the details
of the plan have not been given out

and last night indicated that the can

to Taggart.
The plan for a primary, as proposed
by aggart, has aroused much comment
and it will not cause any great sur
prise if the convention adopts il. Tag
CART says the primaries should be held
after the election. Some others be-
lieve that such primaries should be
held before the election, in order that
the people might know who will be
the Senator in case they vote the state
Democratic. But Taggart people say
they would not listen to holding the
primaries before the election.
Whats the use of holding primary
before the election?" one Taggart man
asked. Suppose we should hold prim-
aries before the election and the Re
publicans should carry the Legislature
The primaries then would not amount
to anything.
Much interest is expressed in what
position, if any Governor Marshall may
take on this primary scheme. 1t is
known that the aggart people have
been sending emissaries to the Gov
ernor to sound him out on the propo-
sition. but the governor has not given

ACTION ST|RS
SAL00N|STS

The exclusive news in last nights
issue of this paper to the effect that
Attorney General James Bangham had
been granted a writ of mandamus com
pellfng Mayor t. E. Knots to show
cause why he should not enforce the
jail sentences upon the blind tiger"
proprietors, caused the greatest con-.
sternation among the former blind
tiger" operators last night.
1t caused the deepest gloom in the
ranks of the majority of the saloon
keepers who have applied to the coun-
ty commissioners for licenses at the
May term. They know full well that
this VIII be a bar to their securing Ii
cense until the matter is decided by
Judge Mcmahon on May 9Th. The pros
pect for these proprietors who openly
violated the law after their licenses
expired does not look very encouraging
and with the jail sentence of thirty
days still looking them in the face,
they now are at a loss to know how
to proceed.
Although over one hundred and sixty
saloon men have applied for license
at the May session of the county com
missioners, it is a fact that over half
OF this number so far have made no
effort to purchase their bar fixtures
etc. and will not do so until they have
received the necessary license

GARY man
BEFORE THE:
TAX BOARD
w. X. Allen, Appearing for
E., j. & E. and Gary &
Western, Objects to Valu-
alton Placed on Railroad
Chiefly Carrying Freight.

indianapolis, Ind. April 26.-The
state board of tax commissioners yes
terday began the annual hearings on
steam road assessment, and ran at
once into the question of how to place
valuation on a railroad which is op-
Grated chiefly to feed or carry freight
from an establishment having a mon
opoly, or which has a monopoly Of the
freight traffic along it's course, with no
opportunity for another road to enter
as competitor.
The question came up when W. K
Allen. Of Gary, appeared for the Elgin,
Joliet Eastern, the Chicago, Lake
Shore & Eastern, and the Gary &
Western roads. The first named road
Is belt line used chiefly for inter-
change among the trunk lines enter
ing Chicago from the south and east,
and enjoys a monopoly. The Chicago.
Lake Shore & Eastern is a line built
by the United States Steel corporation.
the steel trust, to handle the output Of
the Gary steel plant, and enjoys, too,
a monopoly. The Gary & Eastern is a
lesser proposition.
Mr.. Allen wished the assessment for
this year to be made on the physical
value of the roads and their rolling
stock. without consideration for any
value which may attach because of any
monopoly which the roads might enjoy.
The average assessment of the prop
critics last year was $4,000 a mile. but
the returns made this year, showing a
marked increase. would make the valu-
alton established by the companies
about $4,000 a mile, including the roll

SHUTS OFF MARSHALL.
Lamb has pointed out that this ar
rangement would shut off the posi-
bility of Governor Marshall making
any reference in his speech to the plan
for the nomination of a senatorship
candidate. It is shown that the COM
mittee rules will fix the routine TO
be followed in the convention, and that

a chance to speak.
Taggart and Jackson deny that this

from making that part of his speech

And Taggart cowes back with a
proposition that the Democrats hold
state wide primaries soon after the
election next fall to nominate a randi
date for senator. He holds that this
would be the fair way to get the real
sentiment of the rank and file of the
party on the senatorship matter This

IT WAS MAYOR BOWSER
OF GARY FOR TIME
Gary Had Republican Exc
cutive Last Night for
First Time.

Gary had republican mayor last
night for the first time in its history
and although the reign was brief the
party got considerable pleasure out of
the few short minutes that they were
in power. The first republican mayor
was Councilman Emerson Bowser who
filled Thomas Knots official position
while the latter left for INDIANAPOLIS
to cross swords with Thomas Marshall
and other political celebrities at the
state capital
With Bowser holding the gavel the
council got through considerable
amount of business after they did get
started late in the evening Although
the council is scheduled to convene at
seven-thirty the finance committee has
formed the habit of waiting until that
time to look over the weeks bills and
the meetings are generally called over
an hour late.
Alderman Feuer of the committee on
sewers reported that the committee ad-
vocated taking over the system put in
by the Gary Land company. The city
Is now making all necessary repairs
on the company's sewers where the
sand has sifted through and caused
clogging or partial cave-in. Mr. Feuer

to maintain them anyway and that
might as well take them over. He was
instructed to make the report in writ

The father of Thadeus Stefanowski
notified the council that he int ended to
bring action for damages in the sum
of $4,000 for the death of his son who
was recently killed by the auto patrol
wagon. His attorney J. T. Wachowski
also petitioned for a compromise and
a committee of the council consisting
of Walsh, Szymanski Feuer and City
Attorney Curtis were appointed to in
vestigate the matter.
The council was. petitioned to pave

GRAY HAIR

There is great deal of misinforma-
ton about the. care of the hair and the
cause of hair getting gray prematurely
1t used to, be believed that in some
families gray hair was hereditary, like
blue eyes or quick temper. Science.
however, has proved that gray hair is
simply lack of the proper hair food.
and is in every case an individual prob
lem. Premature gray hair is easily
preventable, and when 1t first appears
all that is necessary is to apply some
reliable hair food such as HAYS HAIR
HEALTH This standard remedy is en-
tlrely harmless and is in. no sense a
dye, being a preparation rich in tha
exact kind of sustenance that the scalp
needs to keep the hair from decaying.
Gray hair is simply sign of decayed
hair. One of the most valuable books
on the care OF the hair can be had from

AIR WARFARE BY
 ELECTRIC CURRENTS
Lesson Taught by Destruction of
 Balloon in Germany by , Lightning.

Berlin, April 18-Electrical and aero nautic experts are convinced today that the destruction by lightning yes terday of the balloon DeIitzch while flying over the village of Reichen- sachsen, resulting in the death of it's four occupants, has solved the prob lem of successfully combating aerial opponents with electrical currents. If lightning can destroy a balloon, why cannot artificial electric currents do the same. the experts are asking. Al ready Germany has been exporting with apparatus for projecting electrical currents through the air with just this end in view.
 The horrors of such a warfare are pointed out by the German press, but that it Is bound to come is practically conceded. German scientists believe that it will be possible to explode magazines of a. batt1eship by long dis tance electrical currents. The men who lost their lives in the destruction of the Delitzch were Pilot Iusherring and Herr F'luft of Bitterfeld and two Leipsic merchants. The balloon as cended at Bitterfe1d Saturday night and encountered a storm Sunday morIl- ing A lightning stroke hit the big gas envelope and it exploded.

ANOTHER ATTEMPT :, TO ABDUCT SULTAN
 HAS BEEN FOILED
Special from United Press.)

London, April 1S.-The Westminster Gazette today reports that another bold attempt to abduct Abdul Hamid, the deposed Sultan of Turkey has been frustrated by the impudence of the plotters. No details are given.
 The latest attempt shows that Abdul is the greatest abduction prize of re- cent years. Hardly a week passes without an attempt. Abdul is guard ed in his SaIonica tfretreat's by a de- tachment of government soldiers
 The inner vaults of the Bank of England or a billion dollar child of doting parents are apparently no more coveted than this old ruler whose 1ib- eration at this time might easily spell ruin for the Young Turks regime. Ab- du1 has shown himself willing party to any scheme of abduction and if his wou1d-be kidnappears can ever escape the guard they will find prob ably the ex-Sultan with his valise all packed.

When after painstaking study have reached a conclusion it takes more than an archimedan lever to move me. It was in that way that I studied the claims of pr. Cook and have not changed and see no reason to change my belief that he really reached the North Pole"
 In this fashion Schley. today .dispos- ed of a rumor that he too had aban- doned Cook.
 .It is my belief,'' he continued "that both Cook and Peary reached the pole and think the best witness Dr. Cook has of the truth of his story is Peary himself. I cannot see how any inpar- tia1 man can compare the accounts of the two men without coming to the conclusion that the one might have been written by the other and that they both saw what they described.
 There was glory enough and money enough for the two of them. The trouble with Cook is the same as that which has confronted many others be- fore him. The first explorer is all

FIRE OFFICIALS
 ARE EXONERATED
 BY CORONER MIX
But He Holds County Com missioners at Fault, As They Should Have Known Dangerous Conditions at New Haven Jail.

New Haven, April 18.-After a thor ough investigation into the fire at the county jail last Wednesday, Coroner Mix has finished his work, and an nounces the finding, which has been awaited with intense interest ever since the fire aroused so much talk of blame being here or there. In his report the coroner finds that in the first place there was one criminal1y which occurred at the fire. He knocks completely in the head the criticism which has been going around of the officials of the fire department with this emphatic statement: From care full investigation I am of the opinion no blame can be attached to any mem Der of the New Haven fire depart ment."
 The coroner, while finding nothing that amounts to criminal responsibil- ity, holds that the County Commis- sioners were somewhat renaiss in their duties inasmuch as they should have fully informed themselves of the un- he believes existed at the time the fire broke out at the jail He declared that in the first place the erection of the wooden building which surround ed the main factory building and which was filed with infamn1ab1e material should never have been allowed be- cause of it's danger, and recommends that if there is any rebuilding of structures for factory and storehouse purposes at the jail, they should be of freproof construction and should be entirely separated and isolated from the rest of the jail buildings so as to afford thorough protection for the in mates and for frenen who may under such circumstances be compelled to enter such buildings.
 The coroner further states in his re- port the important fact which has been reported, namely that there has been no inspection of any of these factory buildings by the factory in speetor for several years past.
