THE BUCKEYE COMPANY.

The announcement in THE TIMES
last evening that the Buckeye Steel
Castings Co. will commence the con-
struction of its enormous plant next
spring adds to the spirit of optimism
that prevails in this region as a re-
suit of the location of SO many new
industries
While the Buckeye Co. will en-
ploye only 1000 to 5000 men, n
small number in comparison to the
Baldwin Locomotive works, yet it
means that at least 10000 people will
be brought into the region as a result
of its locating here.
The Buckeye announcement will
simply serve to make the people OF
this region more certain than ever
before that the Calumet region is the
greatest Industrial center in the
whole country.
1t is an indication that the boom
which followed the announcement OF
the location of the Baldwin plant il
more than justified

LET'S WASTE NO TIME.

We see that the Modern Historical
Association of America has sent out
requests that motion picture films be
.tagen of the forthcoming national
conventions of the republican and
democratic parties. 1t is intended
that the views thus obtained be stor-
ed away for the use of future genera
tions.
Oh, what n loss to posterity that
the kinetescope wasn't employed IN
some of our Lake county conventions!
Who will ever forget the stirrin g
scenes at the district democratic con-
vention in Hammond when two
mayors, newspaperman, and three
lawyers, did some pummeling in a
three-round bout OF later date,

publican gathering in Gary's patch

FOXES ESCAPE 1880 MEN.

Clinton county's big fox drive ended
in failure, three foxes making their
escape through the south line, which
was weak in places, due to the men
seeking to cover too much territory.
About two thousand five hundred men
took part In the drive, and at the point
of meeting women who were IN waiting
were disappointed. as there was not a
single fox In the Enclosure. The lead
ers are not satisfied with tire result of
the drive and will seek to have another
within short tirne.

ment and excessive drinking by Ochef-
tree. The couple had been married sew
enteen years. Mrs. Ocheltree said, and in
that time she had been deserted eleven
times.
And now he is getting ready to leave
again, and that will make twelve times
There are three children, too said the
wife

CONCLUSIONS
KILLED SEVEN
Eighth One of Family is at
Death Door.

Philadelphia, May 3L.-A mysterious
disease has played havoc with the fam
lily of Frank Baumeister of Camden,
resulting in the death of seven chill
dren~0all under eight years Of age
while the eighth child, t~hree-and-a-
~half-year-old Mabel, is at deaths door
in the Cooper hospital, where her death
is expected m~omentarily. Baumeister
owns a farm back of Camden, but at
intervals he moves into the city.
The malady has attacked each strong
and healthy child in precisely the same
manner. Without the slightest warn
ing of sickness or failing health, they
have collapsed and gone into convul-
sions from which they never recovered.
Rose was the last to die from the dis
ease. Up until last week she was a
healthy, rollicking girl. Without the
slightest warning she went into con
vuisions and collapsed like her other
sisters and brothers. A physician WAS
summoned, but could do nothing to al
leviate the pain. She was taken to the
Cooper hospital and died In agony.
The disease has baf1ed a dozen ply
sicians. Whenever a child has been
taken i'll the family have promptly
summoned & doctor, but nothing has
been found to check the disease.

TAFT TO PUSH TRUST SUITS
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE HOPES
TO FINISH BEFORE MARCIA.
Steel and Harvester Cases Hanging
Fire and Others In
decided.

Washington, Nov. 12.-The depart
ment of justice is making a strenuous
effort to push, as close to conclusion as
possible, all the pending antitrust
prosecutions of the Taft administra-
ton for President-elect Wilson and his
attorney general when they take the
oath of Office on March 4.
The taking of testimony in most of
the suits will have been completed, it
is believed, and the cases will be be-
fore the courts for decision before
the Republican administration expires.
While the issues have been joined
in the two biggest pending cases-the
suits against the Steel and Harvester
trusts-it is not thought they will be
ready for decision by March 4. The
Steel suit probably will extend we'll
into the new administration but Off.
Gals foresee the end of the testimony
and arguments in the Harvester case
by April or May.
Several of the suits against retail
lumber dealers associations regarded
as among the most important cases,
because they involve the extent of the
rights of "Middlemen" in commerce,
will in all probability be ready for de.
termination before President Taft re-
tires.
The suit against the Towing
trust on the Great Lakes, is await.
ing the decision of the district court
at Cleveland, while it is believed that
the United States supreme court may
render it's opinion in the Hard coal"
suit and the Cotton corner" suit to-
day.
