From Kentucky also comes a story
that within the next few days Mar

be established in Louisville and that

Louisville lawyer. The purpose or this
move is to line up the Kentucky dele
cation for Marshall if possible. 1t is
said that similar action will also be
taken in Michigan and two or three
other states
In view of all of these developments,
it begins TO lok here like Marshall ma Y
yet be a factor in the presidential race,
although the Kern talk is going the
same ass ever over the state.
Governor Marshall has not made any
statement in regard to the Mcnamara
case. further than to express the be-
lief that he had ben vindivated, and
that he would act again as he acted in
that case under similar circumstances.
All over the ountry labor leaders are
denouning the McNamaras for delud-
ing them into believing that they were
, innocent of the crime charged against
them. Some of them even go so far
as to insist that they be hanged for
their crime The McNamaras are de-
nounced as traitors to the cause of

Indianapolis. Ind, Dec 4.-Governor
Marshalfs stock as a candidate for the
nomination for President has taken Il
decided turn for the better since the
two McNamaras made their confession
at Los Angeles, last Friday. From a
number of places over the country has
come the news that since the sensa-
tional occurrences at Los Angel,,
Democrats are talking more about Mar
shall for President From Oklahoma
came a telegram to the effect that d
number of Democrats had made up
their minds to form a Marshall organi-
zation and boost the Indiana governor
for the nomination. Similar news
comes from Kentucky. and telegram
from Washington says that some of
the Democratic congressman. especially
from the southern states, are saying
nice things about Marshall and telling
what a goo. President he would make.
j will be remembered that al the
time that Governor Marshall nonored
the requisition of the state of Cali
fornia for the arrest Of John j. Me-
Namara, he was criticised by organiz-
ed labor because the labor said that he
had acted hastily and without giving
McNmara a chance TO be heard. So bit
ter was the denunciation of the COVER
nor that it was feared even by his
most enthusia site friends that 1T would
put him out of the running for the
nom4n aion. In Indiana the Federation
of Labor. al its Evansville convention

resolutions denouncing the Governor
for his action in the McNamara case
and it looked like it all off with
the Governor as a possibility for presi

taken new hope. and they profess t.

and ffty-one new souls come into the
world, but of this number seven were
here for but a short time.
OF the births there We're Is males and
26 females. And of all the deaths more
than one-half, eighteen, were of chill
dren under the age of two years, which
is a CHASTITY indication that lives that
might be saved are being wasted in
Gary.
Four of the deaths were caused by
accident, one was a suicide and diph-
liberia claimed two. There was one
death from tuberculosis, two from old
age. which is a rare disease to die of in
Gary. where most of the folk are
young, one from bronchitis one from
typhoid, one from heart citations, two
from accidental poison, and two from
stomach troubles. others were natural
deaths.

a special train from Chicago pulled
up to Grand Calumet station, the point
where Virginia street intersects the
Lake Shore and 5. & o. railway tracks
in Gary. From it emerged a group of
men dressed as monks.A Six of them
. carried coffin on their shoulders and
others of the cowled brethren bore
torches. Following were frightened
negro walters bearing good things to
eat and drink. The party then made
its way to the old Calumet Gun club
house. opposite where the blast fur
naces now stand, and from this point
the ghostly procession proceeded along
the lake front to the foot of the gravel
road at Millar beach.
Miller People Are Alarmed.
Here the coffin was placed upon a
pyre and it and the body 1t contained
was cremated. The monks" danced
around it. singing and chanting a
number of Miller people who were pres

these were the days when Miller was
isolated from the outside world and no
one knew where the strangers came

parted as mysteriously as they came.
Thomas Cannon of Gary a newspaper
man, and a member of the Whitechapel
club, was present at the time, as was

yesterday of cerebral hemorrhage. He
was 81 years old.

$500. BILL
BLOCKED
ONCE MORE
Especial to THE TIMEs.)

East Chicago, Dec. 5.-Another block
ing game was played at the city coun-
Gil last night
second effort was made to have the
rules suspended SO as to allow an APP
preparation of $500 to pay the expenses
of three delegates from the city to at
tend the Rivers and Harbors Congress
to be held this week in Washington
Also an effort was made to have the
rules suspended to pass without send
ing to third reading an ordinance to
permit the laying of switch tracks by
the Goldsmith DEFINING company in
15oth street and McCook avenue Both
were blocked by failure to procure a
unanimous vote, which is necessary for
a suspension of the rules. Both mea-
sures were passed to third reading
Mayor Schlieker says that the $500 APP
preparation will be passed on the third
reading as is also a foregone conclu-
sion that the switch track ordinance
will be adopted
Alderman Ketcik was not the only
who objected to the 5000 appro-
pria John Calvin expressed the
opinion that the council ought to have
something to say to whom the city
would send to represent it at the Riv-
ers and Harbors Congress, and that the
mayor should not have the whole say.
! There were plenty of good men in the
council who he thought would make
able representatives in Washington.
Up to this time 1t was not known
whom the mayor had in mind. 1t came
out later that his choice had fallen on
f. w Wickcy, A. G. Lundquist and
himself. Mr. Mickey, however, de-
[ clined to serve, and at the last moment
Joseph Hartley was chosen. These men
will go to Washington anyhow. but If
some of the aldermen have their way
they will foot their own bills there.
Mr. Ketcik made quite a long speech
| He opined that instead of appropriate
| ing $500 for three fellows to have a
good time in Washington. the money
| be spent to buy a street car franchise
which would be the means of provid-
| ing Indiana Harbor with improved

ter last September, she set the stone
rolling that will ultimately result in
an avalanche of helpfulness from the
federation to the women who live in
secluded parts of the country. and
who are unable to reach what they
wish. because it is too far, and who
must wait until their sisters from the
cities can bridge the distance and
bring to them through the medium of
various educational influences that for
which they long and which should be
theirs. Mrs. Nugent expressed, per-
haps as closely as IL has ever been
done before. that the women living in
the country do not wish to be patron
lied: that they are not in need, but
that they merely wish to become part
of the organization of women and
thus be entitled to the same privi-

Originally the plan OF work among
the club women In the rural districts
who wished to be in the circle of USE
full federation activities was started by
Mrs. La Penotiere and her effort in be-
half of such preliminary work qualify
her for the chairman of the committee.
The meeting at which preliminary
discussions were held was at the Saint
Paul hotel, and Mrs. Loyhed was the
speaker, explaining just what she
wants to do and suggesting the best
ways and means Of doing It. First of
all Mrs. Loyhed wants to make the
schoolhouses places OF social centers.
where men, women and children may
gather to amuse themselves, to study,
to read, to hear lectures, and to learn
to influence the younger generations
so that they would not be consumed
by the longing to leave the country
for the city to shake off the dead
weight Of hopeless montony that now
makes the word country and
farm" a nightmare for them.
Helpful agents in the plan Of estab-
fishing social centers will be the UNI
versity of Minnesota, the state agrl-
cultural school. and the public schools
in the cities, the state superintendent
who will recommend the committees
efforts to the county superintendent
who in turn will take the matter up
with the teachers. The undertaking
is tremendously great one, but with
the assistance of the federation COM
mittees on education. health and
hygiene. art and music, the State Art
society, with it's collection of pictures
and books that are sent out, and other
individual organizations that have
travelling exhibits and lecturers. 1t Is
hoped to accomplish the desired ends.
incidentally through these lectures.
travelling exhibits, loan collections Of
books, magazines, ETC., 1t is also hoped
to interest the women in the country
districts in facts and fancies that
may open avenues of some extra
money and increasing incomes.
The country life committee will
issue circular letters and these will be
