ACCIDENT
IS HARD TO

Something very mysterious seems 70
surround the death of John Perrin who
lost his life in a runaway In South
Madison street Gary yesterday. Perrin
employed as teamster by the
Pennsylvania Coal and leaning COM
pany and in the runaway a heavy lum-
Der wagon passed over his abdomen.
Hemorrhages followed and he died on
the operating table at the Mercy hos

at Twenty fifth avenue and Washing
ton street. to mourn his loss.
Whether John is the mans first name
has not definitely been tablished. All
efforts on the part of Gary newspaper
men yesterday and today to obtain de-
tails of the death were blocked.
At the Mercy hospital the authorities
one would say how badly Perrin was
injured. The police heard that a man
named Green" had been injured in 1.
runaway and they were surprised to
hear that he was dead, However, there
is no city ordinance which compels cor
porations or individuals to report
deaths TO the police so no report would
be received by them. Inquiry al vii
liahs morgue in Tolleston developed
the fact that he had received the body
of man named Kern but his address
nothing else known.
Inquiries made at the Pennsylvania
Coal companys office resulted in MANY
unanswered telephone calls and fnally
the bright genius, who did answer did
not even know whether the man was
employed by the company and that the
MANAGER was out
Finally the undertaken and hospital
authorities referred querie s to the
three surgeons, who performed the
operation but they knew nothing"
Chief Martin today is getting a full
report on the affair and it is possible
that an ordinance will be Introduce

H. B. BROWN; PHILANTHRoPIsT

The news that H. B. Brown. VINO
went to Boston to receive the 33rd
degree in Masonry. has been taken mi
calls to the minds of thousands of
successful business and professional
men over the country the tremendous
service that he had rendered in the
general uplifting Of humanity.
Other men have been philanthrop-
lists with their money Brown has
been philatnhropist with his time.
with his life. Men of wealth have
endowed colleges; Brown began with
nothing and built university with
his bare hands
Associated with him in this enter
prise is o. P. Kinsey, the of-horse in
the team, who deserves just as much
credit for building Valparaiso Unit
versity as the president Of the insti-
tuition.
Brown and Kinsey came to Valpa-
raiso nearly 40 years ago. They we're
school teachers possessed with more
than the average amount of nerve.
initiative, determination and all
round business ability. Some one had
started normal school aud failed
They took the building and equip
ment; made part payment IN en-
thusiasm and advertised. Valparaiso
Normal School H. b. Brown. presi
dent, 0. P. iKnsey. vice president. .
The name Of the school has changed
to indicate It's wider field Of activities
/ but the officers remain the same.
Valparaiso Normal was started on
the basis Of making a higher educa-
tion possible for everybody. In order
to do this Brown and Kinsey had tc
reduce the cost Of living to the mini
mum. So successful were they il
solving this problem that today room,
may be rented for 30 and rs cents
week and board may be had for $1.5(
to S2.0 = week
Thus have they made 1t possible
for the man of small means to secur,
an education. The school has growr
to such proportions that the enroll
ment it now larger than in any othe
school in the United tsates.
Three hundred dollars a year i
ample TO take man through colleg

on far less than that. The institu
tion is absolutely unique and has n,

RUNNING THE ENGINE

Mr.. Roosevelt had bully time in
Montana on Sunday He stuck to his
rule never to make a speech on Sun
day; but he put in the whole day rid
ing on the train and engaged in much
interesting conversation, doubtless.
suited to the Day of Rest from the
things Of time and sense. The only
deviation from this strict observance
was when he climbed into the engine
while the train was humping along,
crowded the engineer out of his seat,
and. seizing the lever. ran the engine
to suit himself He got along so we'll
that he thought he would make an
experiment and jerking the johnson
har''-the lever that regulates the
speed pulled it two notches too far
with the result that some of the pass
engers were thrown out OF their
seats.
It would not have made so very
much difference to him If he had
wrecked the train-he was having
lots of fun and that would have
made d "corking" newspaper story
1t was something of a coincidence
that it was the johnson bar" h,
pulled this time and it is the johnson
bar he is working with in his race
for President and with which he bid
fair to wreck the Government Ex
press he would pun.
Such an incident in the life of an.
responsible man would discredit hin
with the people; but it was Just lik'
Roosevelt" He didn't know how t.
run an engine, he had never attempt
ed such thing before, he knew tha
levers were to pull. and he jerked tn
johnson bar" two notches too far
That is precisely what he would d
at Washington should he be electe-
! President What difference does j
make so long as he can enjoy himsel
and shock the old souls with "the DO
that is in him?"-N. Y. Times.

BULL MoosERs ON EACH OTHER.

Stubbs formerly called Henry Allen
CRATER, unfit to be on the board OF
charities.
Allen said Stubbs beat him for
Congress By planting" whisky in
strong Methodist communities in his
(Allen's) name. Scott won, but
neither Allen nor anybody else even
suspected Scott of planting the
whisky. Stubs and Allen ought 10
get together and agree who it was
that planted the whisky.
Murdoch said of Roosevelt two
years ago, THAT faker will never
dare to run again"
Bristow said that Long could not
be the friend of the people because he
was backed and befriended by
Perkins.
Who would dare to print what
Roosevelt said about Bristow when he
fired him out of the Postoffiee Depart.
ment? Or what Bristow whispered
back?
What family paper could print

land formerly said of Stubbs or the

BUT A SINGLE ISSUE.

The Gary Evening Post and The
Gary Tribune are in a death grappIa
over the speech Woodrow Wilson
made in Gary some time ago. Ever
since the visit OF the distinguished
New Jersian it has been a case of
Wilson did-Wilson didn't Wilson
did-Wilson didn't" In Gary
The real issue. the one issue that is
a matter of concern IN this great
manufacturing community, THE
TARIFF. is being lost sight of There
is no question about Wilson s stand
on the tariff.

FREE TRADE AND WILL EVENT
UALLY LEAD TO THAT 1t may be
safely accepted as fact that ali real
democrats are at heart diametricany
opposed to the policy of protection.
Wilson is stand-pat free-trader.
Now how does that affect Gary and
the Calumet region? This Is a steel
manufacturing community. it has
been built up under the protective
system Capital. secure in its belief
that the existing order is not to he
disturbed. has poured its hundreds of
millions of dollars into the region in
the development Of what is to be-
come the worlds workshop
II is safe to say that there is not
an industry in the region that is not
benefited either directly or Indirect
ly by the republican protective tariff
And the prosperity of these mann
featuring concerns makes it possible
to pay big wages For the first time
in the history of this region manu-
faeturers are paying $500 to s3.00
day for laborers and the wages of
the other employees have gone up ac-
cordingly-
So the manufactures who is de-
veloping a big business and the la
borer who is getting big pay are
both interested in the preservation of
the protective tariff which has made
these things possible
And when all of this may be
changed. When the mills which Taft
found idle when he took over the
Roosevelt administration and start
ed to working again may be closed
for four long years; when the farm
ers may be compelled to take small
prices for their crops. when the now
prosperous worlIingman may be idle
on the streets. when the banks anc
business houses may fail, if Woodrow
Wilson becomes president of ths
United States, is there any necessit.
for considering any other issue thar
the TARIFF.
Why quibble about what Wilson
said of the United States Steel Com
pany at Gary THERE WON'T BE
ENOUGH PEOPLE IN GARY Tt
: MAKE A GOOD SIZED POLITICAL
MEETING IF THE COUNTRY Has
-FOUR YEARS OF WILSON.
Gary is built on its one industr.
and its subsidiaries. All Of these ar
prospering because Of the protectiv
tariff Take that away and see wha
> viii become of Gary.
q So the great issue in Gary as i
the other manufacturing communi
o ties OF the Calumet region, is th
. tariff Wilson's against US on tha
issue. There is no use of deludin
a ourselves by taking any other vieN
OF the situation.
