The HAMMOND TINES has gone out
of its way to create the impression that
Emerson Bowser made a deal with
Mayor t. E. Knots to help him out
of his troubles in Valparaiso, and al
leges that Mr.. Bowser attempted to
evade the witness stand. The Tribune
believes that THE TIMES is not so much
to blame in this matter as the attor-
neys for the state, Messrs. WINERY and
w elShhefmer. The facts are that Mr..
Bowser went to Valparaiso at the be-
ginning of the trial. and was taken
very i'll. Upon the advice of physicians
who were called to attend the sick man
he was taken to Chesterton and give
the proper treatment. He called the
sheriff of Porter county to his bedside
just soon the doctor told him he
was in for a sick SPELL and acquainted
him with the situation. and told him
where he could be found when wanted

Suit Rumor Heard.
These things were a matter of com
mon gossip and news bureau discussion.
There was something of far greater
significance guardedly talked about in
we'll informed quarters in such man
ner as to show that it was at least the
subject of serious regard-the posi-
bility. or rather the probability, of an
early suit by the government under the
sherman antitrust law charging the
Steel Corporation with violations OF
that law and seeking the dissolution %
the corporation-and this was the basis
of the selling of Steel common today
Needless to say this rumor was much
more seriously regarded than a simi-
lar one of yesterday affecting the
American Smelling and Refining Com
pany. IT was pointed out that the
Steel Corporation had been such pro-
fessor of virtue that announcement
that the government, after careful con-
sfderation, felt itself warranted IN
bringing such suit as that described
in the rumors might naturally be ex
pected to produce a shock among hold
ers of the company's stocks even
though later the corporation demon
strated that 1t was thoroughly innocent
of wrong doing as 1t has claimed itself
to be.

knew this They preferred to disbe-
lieve Mr.. Bowser's attorney and the
sheriff of Porter county, and caused
bench warrant to be issued for him,
evidently for the purpose of creating in
the minds of the public the impression
that something crooked was going on.
The course of WINERY and Welsheim-
err throughout the trials of the Gary
cases in Valparaiso has been childish,
and results have proved them incom-
petents. For instance. the charge that
Mr. Bowser tried to tamper with wit
nesses and public sentiment on behalf
of Mr. Knots, is one without founda-
ton and malicious. If the state really
had case against any of the men
tried it lost all chnace of winning
through the folly of it's attorneys. -
