.DR. H. D. hatfield MAKES
FINE REPUBLICAN SPEECH
CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR is
s HEARTILY APPLAuDED WHILE
DEFINING PLANKs OF HIS PLAT
FORM.

DR.. II. d. Hatfield, OF Mcdowell
county. candidate for the Republican
Nomination for governor OF West Vir
ginIa. opened his campaign here las
night by delivering a stirring speech
In the county court room. The room
was filled. Many stood along the sid,
alsles and inside the bar. And al
were pleased with the plain. straight
forward business address that DR.. Hat
field gave them.
The speaker stuck close TO the plat
form that he enunciated early in the
campaign when he announced his can
didaey. He discussed each and every
proposition laid down In his platform
dwelling long on good roads and edn
cation. Dr. Hatfield statedS that IL he
were elected governor OF West Sgir
sInia that he wouh make the Unisef
sity OF West 'vifglnid The best eduea
tlonal institutiof!inj the worldlif,H X Is
possible 10 do 4o,tlf n, lit;i.'
In the building or good roads he
would put the conyicts In the peniten
tiary az work and In making better
highways for the State he would also
make better men OF those that had
been placed In the State prison for
some crime that had been committed
in the heat Of passion. DIR. Hatfield
said what West Virginia needed was o
business administration conducted In
such a .mannerthat our State would be
able to take place In the ranks OF other
States that are not SO rich in natira
wealth and resources as ours. but are
ahead OF West Virginia In their educa
tional institutions and road systems.
DIR. Hatfield was ronndly applauded
when he stated that the people OF this
State were anxious to see new faces in
the Offices of the commonwealth. That
the time had come for some of the old
war horses to step down and give 9th
er men 0 Glance.
This was DR.. Hatdeld's first appear
ance In this city and he made an i'm.
preston that will stand indellbly in
the minds OF his hearers as the cam.
paign aaganees,s His talk was plain,
He was earnest and forceful. Every
sentence was driven home with a
weight OF common sense behind 1t that
not only caused the hearers to form
conclusions but carried them still fur
ther to conviction that the proposi
tions that the speaker discussed were
vital issues In the present campaign
and that the man who was seeking
their votes for the nomination and elec
tion OF Governor OF West Virginia had
worked out the correct solutions foi
these questions.
After his address DR.. Hatfield mel
all OF the men that heard him and the
reception that was given him showed
that there are many voters here who
have warm feeling for the man from
Mcdowell.

SPLENDID WATERWAY ASSURED
BOARD WILL HAVE
A KNOT1Y PROBLEM
Especial to THE TIMEs.)


Crown Point. Ind. May 1.-THE
upon to settle quite a knotty problem
at the next meeting of the board when
the allowing of the bills for the regis
tration board in Lake county is taken
up. Through an Interpretation of the
law wide divergence of opinion
has been arrived at. just what consti-
tutes a working day nthe registra
tion board. Some excellent legal Aau
thorities contending that Attorney
General Honan's twenty four hour day
in his Interpretation of the registra-
tion law will not hold with the Indi-
ana election statutes. Most of the bills
filed yesterday allow the clerk and in
spectors a two days pay. the conten-
ton being that the boards being open
ed at five o'clock m. and closing be-
tween six and eight o'clock p. m. would
constitute an eight hour day and a big
fraction over.
The remuneration for the boards
services is four dollars per day or frac-
tion thereof and figuring in the time
taken in getting supplies posting no
tices and the services on registration
day the inspectors have found that
they are entitled to four or FIVE days
pay. The average bill for service in
each precinct is about SAP. And fig
uring every precinct in Lake county
the amount would total a big sum. All
the bills are filed practically the same
but will make Gov. Marshall's reform
measure in that line a useless and
thankless job.

Diamond.
Henry Foss. saloonk

Henry Fosss saloonkeeper on Plum
mer avenue. West Hammond, fell a
victim of a phoney diamond peddler
last night when young man came
into his place and sold Foss what was
supposed to be a 500 stone for sic. t.
Fiss told the police this morning that
the young man came into his place last
night and told a hard luck story The
young man said that the ring was real
" worth more than 500, but he just
had TO have some money.
1t looked good to Foss, who pulled
out a $40 bill and handed it to the
lad. After he had left Foss examined
the stone and found that he had been
bunkoed out of $40 A search was made
for the young man, but no trace of him
could be found.
The following description was given
to the police:
Age 81; height. 81. weight, about
13o pounds; build medium, wore blue
serge clothes and striped cap.

Saloon Is Robbed.

BY forcing a window in the saloon
of A. n. Ryzewski at Chicago avenue
and Holman street last night or ear
ly this morning, thieves gained
trance to the building and made their
getaway with a considerable amount
of valuables.
Two well dressed men who were
strangers to the proprietor came into
the saloon just before closing time at
1885 who the police believe are guilty
of entering the building after the place
was closed They bought a drink and
after looking over the premises they
left.
Although other articles may have
been taken, so far the following is
all that have been missed: One quart
of Bushmill's whiskey, Is packages of
cigarettes. l box of cigars, SIS in small
change and $3.50 in nickels. The cash
register was taken into the alley, where
1t was broken into and from which the
money was taken. They left by a side
door, which was found open this morn
ing. Some of the clues left by the
| thieves look like the robbery may have
been done by amateurs. but the police
| are led to believe it was the two stran--
gers who came into the saloon.

yesterday when he injured himself
twice within the short space of FIVE
minutes. The first one he considered
lucky as it might have cost him one
of his eyes.

Several minutes afterward he struck

RAILROADS
TO BOOST
THEIR RATES

Two Gary railroads have given no
tice that they will knock out their SUI
burban rates between Gary. and Chi
cago and intermediate points on June
and there IS possibility that the
Lake Shore and other roads will follow
their example.
On June 1 the Pennsylvania 35-cent
fare will be boosted to 50 cents. The
10-cent fare. to Indiana Harbor will
jump TO Is cents, the 20-cent fare to
South Chicago to 35 cents. An increase
of 80 cents to 40 cents will be made
on the Englewood run.
The Nickel Plate will boost its Chi
cago fare from 35 cents to so cents Be-
sides the three roads mentioned the B.
& O.. wabash and Michigan Central op-
crate suburban service between Gary
and Chicago
On Interurban Road Also.
1t is also possible that the South
Shore line will be compelled to raise it's
rates to be on an even basis with the
railroads.
