At STATE CAPITAL.

Indianapolis, Ind, July 3.-The
Roosevelt supporters in session here
developed a division of opinion today
as to the advisability of forming a
third party in Indiana Edwin NJ. Lee
and some others favor third party ac-
tion. w. d. Hedrick of Indianapolis,
a Roosevelt leader opposed action
and favored staying with regular
party and seeking to get good state
ticket Several others feeling the
same way sent telegram to Roose-
welt asking advice A telegram from
Roosevelt to Lee just received says:
Il heartily endorse the project to go
on with the commission of the pro-
gressive party. Such a party must of
necessity break away from both the
old parties" Lee answered saying he
would recommend the formation of a
new party. There were two hundred

afternoon.

WEST HAMMOND IS
PURGED OF VICE
Police Chief Says There Is
Not a Disorderly House
in Entire City.

Chief of Police John Kulczyk Is able
to claim today. for the first time in
years, that West Hammond is a law
abiding community. There is not a
disorderly house in the entire city, ac-
cording to Kulczyk.
This is the result Of the reform cam
for the past four years. West Ham
Dfond is now looking to other things.
Kulozyk started out early last even
ing and visited every place in the city
that was under suspicion. He found
thes the lid was down tighter than a
drum.
In the meantime Mayor K. NJ wosc-
zinski and the rest of the officers OF
his administration are taking steps 70
tuild up the city SO that there will be
a field for Legitimate business.
New cement walks are to be laid ali
over the city, streets are to be paved
and an attempt will be made to call
attention to the desirability of Yves,
Hammond a resfd entail district
In the meantime the fact should not
be overlooked that Miss Virginia
Brooks called attention to conditions
made the cleaning up of the village
possible.
The people of the city are justl,
proud of the fact that bawdy houses
gambling and all of the evils of the ole
days are now thing of the past an6
1t is again safe for women and childrer
to go down the main street of the city
without fear Of being insulted.

SUGGEST
FACTORY
= DISTRICT

Opening new factory district be-
tween the Michigan Central railroad
and the Grand Calumet river, east of
Gibson. discussion of the city market
plan, and the passing of special appro-
priation ordinances constituted the
grist of the Hammond city councils
work at its regular session last night.
To save time, Peter w. Meyn OF the
firm of Gostlin, Meyn g. Co, instead of
going to the board of public works
first, came before the council directly
to ask permission for the Indiana Har-
Dor Belt railroad to cross certain dead
end streets in the extreme east part of
the town. Mr.. Meyn explained to the
council that this right of way would
mean a new factory district in Ham
mond which could be set aside exluc-
sively for factory purposes.
Can't WHIT for River.
He says the present plan is to have
the Belt line parallel the Michigan
Central railroad in order that it would
accommodate prospective factories. the
Michigan Central, as trunk line, be-
ing unable TO serve for this purpose.
The plan is, he said. to run the belt
line from Gibson to a point about a half
mile west of the Hammond East Chica-
go limits, and because the Grand Calu-
met river is yet far from being
Strengthened, and in its present condi-
tion the factory site problem remains
unsolved unless the belt line is built

he was not fighting the man but the
deal with New York for which Clark
stood in connection with the temporary
chairmanship. Bryan expressed de-

finally agred to accept the choice OF
the whole convention.
Champ Said No.
An attempt to persuade Champ Clark
to accept the Vice Presidency failed
shortly before midnight. and the NOM
nations were sfdetracked for the
reading OF the platform to give Ollie
James another opportunity to attempt
to convince Mr.. Clark by phone that
he should accept the Vice Presidency.
James told Clark that IL he would ac-

wreck the Democratic party since the

But the seeds of bitterness which
William Jennings Bryan had sown so
sedulously In the efght days OF the
convention had sprouted too well to
fade in a moment. and the convention
/ refused to accept a proposal to NOM

The nomination of Wilson is gener-
ally accepted by observers here as the
death blow to Roosevelts bandanna

DEATH CLAIMS
JAMES N. BRADFORD
Well Known ex- County Of
fetal Passes to His
Long Rest.

j. NJ. Bradford, three times the
county commi ssioners of Lake County,
a man who has been leading figure in
the republican party during the past
twenty years, died at his home at 80
Conkey avenue at 1885 p. last
evening.
Death came as a blessing to Brad
ford and a great relief to his family.
For years he has been failing. for
months he has lowered between life
and death and for weeks death seemed
to be a matter of but few hours.
The direct cause of his death was a
cancerous condition of his stomach and
intestines. In effort to improve hts
condition he was operated on in st
Luke's hospital in Chicago but the
operation only revealed the hopeless
ness of his case.
Since that time his decline has been
gradual but sure. He has been con-
scious up to within a rev hours of his
death. His suffering has been so ter
rible that it has been necessary to keep
him under the influence of opiates for
the past few weeks.
Mrs. Bradford, who has watched over
him faithfully during the time of his
illness. is nearly worn out with the
' gil The other members of the fan1i-
ly show the effects of the long strain
The deceased is survived by his wife
a son. Frank Bradford. and two
daughters Mrs. Ray Wells and Mrs
