ironcisd Warships,

The idea of the ironclad warship is
at least as cid as the reign of Napo-
leon. 1t was suggested to Napoleon,
patented in this country during the
war of 1912 and suggested again later
to the French government but in each
case failed to receive recognition. At
the beginning Of the Mexican war sue
cessful experiments were made with it
under the auspices of the United States
government. but again the matter was,
strangely enough. allowed to drop
Shortly afterward. however. the French
government finally took up the idea,
and French ironclads in the Crimean
war did good service against the Rus
siap fprts. But the battle between the
Monitor and the Merrimac was the
first real encounter between real iron
clad ships.-New York American.

and then followed the sandy road that
ran parallel TO the narrow gauge tract,
until be reached the water tank, two
miles below tie town. There Tom
MerWin stopped. tied black silk hand
kerchief about the lower part of his
face and pulled his hat down low.
IL ten minutes the night train for
Rockdeu pulled up at the tank, having
come from Chaparosa.
With Il gun in each hand Merwin
raised himself from behind a clump of
chaparral and started for the engine.
But before he had taken three steps
two long. strong arms clasped him
from behind. and he was lifted from
his feet and thrown, face downward,
upon the grass. There was a heavy
knee pressing against his back and an
iron hand grasping each of his wrists.
He was held thus. like a child, until
the engine had taken water and until
the train had moved with accelerating
speed out of sight. Then he was re-
leased and rose to his feet to face Bill
LOngley.
"The case never needed to be fixed
up this way, Tom" said Longley. u

me what you and him talked about.
Then ! went down to your house to-
night and saw you come out with your
guns on. and l followed you. Let's go
back, Tom
They walked away together side by
side.
"Twas the only chance saw" said
Merwin presently. You called your
loan, and | tried to answer you. Now
whatu you do, Bill. if they sock it to
you?"
what would you have done if they'd
socked it to you?' was the answer
L0ngley made.

Nerwin broke into a run, and Long

rather pleasing whistle somewhere in
the night rendering the lugubrious air

ed MerWin as he ran. I'll bet
They were at the door Of Merwin's

Fowler of Indiana Harbor thought the
committee should be selected by the
chairman OF the meeting and was sus-
tanned in this contention.
The committee was appointed as fol-
lows: @. NJ Poland of East Chicago; j.
viii Belshaw of Lowell; John Brown
of Crown Point; Sam Love of Leroy
and John Hillman of Hobart. The

change in the situation. 1t appeared
that a deadlock was certain when the
Hammond delegation asked for time
in which to consider its vote.
Deal - Made.
Greenwald's failure to corner the
Gary delegates had stirred up lot of
bad blood between Hammond and
Gary. The decision of the contest COM
mittee in favor of seating the Hodges
delegates was the source of a great
deal of satisfaction to the regular
Gary republicans but it did not lessen
their antagonism to Ross
While the convention was at recess
the Hammond delegates came to the
conclusion that it would be impossible
to put Ross over. A conference be-
tween Patterson and Ross was held in
a back room in the court house where
the convention was held and Ross
agreed to throw his strength to Pat +.
terson. Whether or not Patterson
made any promises remains to be seen.

alright go ahead" said Hodges.
The vote was taken and Gary voted
for Patterson. Hammond trailed along
with its seven votes and Patterson
was nominated. Whether or not those
in charge of the Hammond delegation
had such enove in mind before the
convention is a matter of conjecture.
The convention was called to order
by County Chairman Copeland OF
Porter county. On the motion nf
Walter Edwards of Aetna II. f. Jones

Mrs. Noeller attended early mass at
the Sacred Heart church, yesterday

Whatever was the motive in bring

last moment the fact remains that he
developed great strength from the

The lineup a s developed by the first
ballot was Hammond for Ross. East
Chicago for Patterson and Gary for
Hodges. The twelve votes from Portef
county were negligible factor in the
situation for the reason that it was

enough votes would finally be thrown

ADMISSION OF
PiTTSBURG'S MISERY
Gary Booster Says That
Smoky City Has Shot
It's Bolt.

T. W. Englehart and all the bigger
Gary boosters are rejoicing in a recent
prediction made by Col. George A.
linn. federal engineer. stationed in
Chicago, in connection with the posi-
bilities of Gary and the entnire Cala-
met region. Mr.. Englehart was in
Hammond this morning on his way to
IndiS~aoolis-
The prediction appeared in Chicago
dispatch to a Pittsburg. paper, a copy
of which was sent to Mr.. Englehart by
his friend William Bradburn. The dis
patch reads follows:
Chicago. March 6.-While Secretary
of War Henry Stimson, and party were
making study today by automobile
and boat OF harbor and drainage prop
lens in Chicago, Col. George A. linn,
federal engineer, predicted that in 20
years, a city of 100000 people
would be centered around Gary, Ind
and that the present loop district of
Chicago would be deserted except a a
residential quarter. He gave water
facilities as the basis for his prophecy.
"Of course this great city stin will
be Chicago" said Col linn, but the
center of popnla ton will move south
ward taking in Gary, South Chicago,
and all the lake towns. In twenty
years Chicago will be the largest city
| in the world, and the greatest shipping
point of the central west. drawing the
! trade from the four points of the com :
| pass. Then the great lakes trade with
| a big harbor at Chicago will increase
many fold. All of the scattered lake
towns will be merged in greater Chi
cago making it the wonder of the Uni
| evrse."
| A letter from Bill Bradburn, which
| accompanied the clipping shows that
| the east is alive to these facts
Bill Bradburn will be well rerncm-
| bered by the old timers AROUND here
| as a big cattle buyer in the Chicago
| stockyards, and in his day he was alsn
/ considered a good prizefghter. Since
going. to Pittsburgh. he has settled
down to business and is a substantial
business man there. This old town
! has pretty near shot its bolt" he saws
in his letter. He sees the handwrit.
ing on the wall, and assures Col
| Englehart, that it would be an easy
| matter to interest Pittsburgers In
Gary and the new west.
