Deny Differentiation.
1t is denied that the city of Ham

IN favor of Chicago Heights and other
triet. According to one authority the
same rates will prevail in all of the
above mentioned cities.
1t was admitted in the case of w b
Conkey and other shippers who have
daily cars which go no farther thar
the terminals OF the Monon and Erie
railroads that the increase in rates
would carry with 1t no additional ad-
vantages but 1t is argued that the
benefit to the average shipper whose
freight merely passes through Chicago
enroute to western, southwestern
northern and northwestern points
would be great
The question will be thoroughly
thrashed out at the meeting of tbs

tonight and II is expected that the rep
resentatives of the various railroads
will be given a respectful hearing sc
that they may present their side OF the

DEMOCRATS
WORKING
FOR KERN
TIMES BUREAU,
AT STATE CAPITAL


indianapolis, Ind. July Pin spite
of all that has been said by Senator
John w. Kern about not being a can
didate for the democratic nomination
for president and his published inter-
views in which he has said that he is
for Governor Marshall for the nomf-
nation first, last and all the time. the
fact remains as has been discovered
here in the last day or two that he is
a candidate even against his own will,
and that the democrats who have been
boosting him for the place are still at
work. Not only are they at work, but
they declare that they are accomplish
ing something. and that Kern will get
some delegates from this state to the
national convention. One of the men
behind the Kern boom said yesterday
that they were not paying any atten-
ton to what Kern was saying about
not being a candidate.
Say Kern lis Entitled to 1t.
I'VE not against Governor Mar
shall or any other democrat for presi-
dent" he said. I'VE will support the
nominee of the national convention,
whoever he may be, but we do believe
that Senator Kern is entitled to the
nomination and that the people at
large tnlnk 50. we are for him for
the nomination because we believe he
is the man for the place. He is a good.
old time substantial democrat, one of
the kind that always does the work
whenever 1t is time to work. The peo-
pie all over the United States know
him and like him. That is why we are
in favor of his nomination. That is
why we are going forward with our
plan to elect some delegates from In
diana who will vote for him. Govern
or Marshall will not get a solid dele
cation from Indiana, not by a good
deal"

This man said that letters were be-
written and answers received every

CHAUFFEUR
HAS WEIRD
EXPERIENCE

Some weird experiences. including
facing the guns of six italian Black
Hand men. witnessing the abduction
and escape of girl, and saving both
himself and the girl by the use of his
wits, fell to the lot of Albert verplank
sixteen years old. a Gary chauffeur.
Six Friends Come.
Tuesday night an italian from Chi
cago came to Verplanks garags on
Sixth avenue and engaged a machine
for a couple of days. Young Verplank
took the unknown man to Chicago and
"docked" the machine in Chicago gar
age over night The next morning the
Italian in company with six tough
looking brethren engaged verplanl1 to
take them out for an early ride.
But Albert Was There.
The scene is then shifted to the Ital-
ian quarter in the northwest quarter Of
Chicago AS the machine was waiting
two girls came along and the Italians
leaped out and seized them. Then COW
ering Verplank with revolvers the six
men threw him into the rear seat. The
machine was curtained. Young verplank
had the presence of mind to grab the
battery key and when his captors were
not looking he slid out of the car and
started to run. He had not gone more
than fifty feet when he say that the
Italians were fleeing in the opposite sdi-
rection.
He FOiIs the Williams.
Verplank had prevented them from
operating the car so they hastily
abandoned it. Much frightened the
girl was released and verplank made
all possible haste for Gary. He cannot
remember the street where the affair
occurred. From the girl he learned
that her italian had made advances to
her and that he meant TO kidnap her.
