building at that time. so hurried to
telephone and notified the Are and po-
lice station who arrived in a short
time. There was no occasion for any
assistance as there was fire
An examination was made in an
effort to find some trace of the ex-
plosive or wires leading to the dyna-
mite but the police were without sue
cess. The police however discovered
the tracks of three persons in the wet
sand, who had presumably made their
way to the South Shore Interurban sta
ton.
Mr.. Reynolds the owner of the build
ing was in Gary yesterday inspecting
the work and this morning hurried TO
Gary.
So far there has not been a non-union

the Reynolds building. The building
was one of the many to lay idle for a
/ long time, SO was one of the first in
which the various contractors finished
the lathing and plumbing. 1t was said
] this morning that a number of non
union sheet metal workers were to be
put to work next week.
/ The persons who committed the
dastardly deed had well laid their
plans as the building is situated on
the west side six blocks away from
Broadway and at this time in a thinly
settled district.
| The damage to the building was
small although the shock was terrific
every window in the building was

1t was the intention of the dvnamiters

structure and thus cause a collapse of

the dilemma two years ago and pass

Governor Marshall, however, both were
vetoed.
Senator Proctor said he and Mayor
Becker always have been warm friends.
and was surprised that Mr.. Becker
should suspect him of being unfair.

ago l made speech to some of those
people up there along those same lines.

a fight up there during this session.
The first knowledge that Senator
Proctor had that the Gavit bill was not
| referred to his committee was through
Senator Royse of Terre Haute. who is
chairman of the principal judiciary
committee. Mr. Royse informed him
that some of the bills which should

he (Mr. Royse) is chairman. and aft

ant Governor Hall changed the as

| Senator Gavit said he supposed the
| error had been made by the lieutenant
governor. and the latter said he could
not find the card which Senator Gavit
sent up with his bill and he. therefore.
| assigned it to the Royse committee.
Mr.. Gavit said he not particular

FARRELL TO HEAD
STEEL CORPORATION

New York, Jan. thames A. Farrell
OF Brooklyn is the choice of the finance
committee of the United States Steel
corporation to succeed William Ellis
Corey as president of the corporation.
After meeting of the committee yes
terday afternoon Chairman Gary issued
this statement:
The finance committee Of the United
States Steel corporation. after consult
ing individual members of the board of
directors. not on the committee, has
unanimously decided to recommend to
the board at its next regular meeting
the election of James A. Farrell as
president of the corporation.
Heads Products Company.
Mr. Farrell has been the president
of the United States Steel Products
company ever since its organization in
1903, and as such has demonstrated
great business capacity. He has been
connected with the manufacturing and
commercial departments of the iron and
steel industry for more than twenty
five years. and is well qualified to fill
the position. 1t is believed the selec-
ton will be gratifying to all OF the Of
ficials OF the subsidiary companies and
to everyone connected with the indust-
ry.
Built Up Foreign Trade
The United States Steel PRODUCTS
company was formerly known as the
United States Steel Products Export
company and handles all the export
business of the parent corporation. Mr.
Farrell is practical man from the
ground up" according to Judge Gary
and the growth Of the companys for-
eign trade Is largely due to his iritia-
tive. He is about So years old, is mar

1t is understood when elected to the
presidency of the corporation Jar. "a
he will confine his activiti to the prac-
teal and technical sides of the vast or
ganization.
The Lake County times. [volume] (Hammond, Ind.) 1906-1933, 1911-01-11

1t will thus be seen that a prominent
democrat, a demo republican and a
prominent republican will have charge
of the Knots case unless the plans of
the Gary mayor go to pieces. 1t is
further understood that practically
every prominent lawyer in Lake county
has been retained by either the defend
ents or the prosecution in these grand
jury cases. This assurs a legal battle
the like of which has never before been
seen in Lake county.
In addition to the indictments that
have been returned against Knots he
is still worrying about the mandamus
proceedings which have been brought
against him.
Knots attornys fought to the last
ditch in this matter until they saw
hey were beaen and then as a last re-
sort the northern Indiana mayor s
combine appealed to Attorney General
Honan. the new ~ elected democratic
attorney general, to postpone the cases.
Honan finally consented to a postpone
ment and gave a reason the fact
that he was too busy to give the mat
ter his personal attention. This was
the excuse in spite of the fact that
the WnOle prosecution ndd neen con-
Quoted successfully, so far. without any
assistance from the attorney general
office.
Has Other Troubles
But as though that was not enough
to occupy the mind of one man Mayor
Knots has the full f1edged revolution
of the Gary city council on his hands.
He is declared to be on the verge of
impeachment by the city council and
has had all of his power taken from
him by a healthy body of insurgents
who show no disposition to compromise
matters. 1t requires constant attention
to the affairs of the city to keep the
council from putting one over while
Knots is not looking.
In addition to all of this Knots has
his banking interests. his real estate
interests and his other interests to look
after. He is expected to aid Gary in the
location of superior court at that
place.
Starting out with Gary in the throes
of lawlessness. Mayor Knots admins
tration of the affairs of Gary has been
a constant turmoil. He has side step
ped one difficulty only to get into an
other that was a little worse. Nc
wonder the mayor of Gary is care worn
these days.

LETTER,

In an optimistic letter the Am erican
National bank of Richmond Ia send
ing out a circular claiming that busi-
ness conditions were never in better
shape than they are at present

The letter begins as follows:
The change in business conditions
which has been expected for several
months has arrived. II probably ar
rived some time ago. but heavy inter
ests preferred TO know the outcome of
pending governm emit suits before feel
ing sure Of 1t. The Standard Oil de-
cision has shown about what may be
expected In other similar cases. and
cleared away the cobwebs.
The expected decrease in both ey-
ports and imports has materialized.

for April was nearly $3S. 900. 900. and
so far for the year. $lS2. 000.0 900. as

United States for the first four m onths
of last year OF $4,000, 600. Our favor

In spite of the adverse decision in
the American Tobacco Company case
by the United States supreme court,
and although American Tobacco Con,
pany stock took a big tumble Wed
nesday the opinion prevails that it
will rise again. The bank circular

celebrated tobacco case.
