The accident occurred about 1870
o'clock and the machine was going

what caused the car to plunge into the

that the driver did not see the c. & J..

the car swerved to one side. the driver
being unable to keep control of the
machine
AS the machine plunged into the
ditch. the joy riders were thrown
bodily out of the car. it being only a
miracle that some of them were not
killed or seriously injured. After
picking themselves out of the water

Charges and counter-charges of
fraud. trickery, theft and dishonesty
reverberated through the monster con-
vention hall this afternoon. when the
opposing leaders for Taft and Roose-
Welt, respectively, debated on seating
Roosevelt's contested delegates.
One of the days sensations which

effect that Roosevelt had called James
e Watson of Indiana, Taft's floor
leader in the convention. to him and
had offered him the nomination for
vice president If he would desert Taft
and support him. Watson, according
TO the report, refused to be bribed.
The story. however. is given little
credit.
Governor Hadley at 1905 opened the
argument in behalf of the Roosevelt
delegates.
Hadley was still in the thick of the
fight at 3 o'clock. and at this time the
convention went wild over him. Gov.
Stubbs of Kansas got onto railing
and waved frantically for the Missou-
rian.

that no Interruptions to speakers

AN OFFICE
AND GETS ANOTHER
Attorneys Patterson and
Katz Still Jockeying for
West Hammond Job.

The controversy between City Attor-
ney Jacob Katz of West Hammond and
Corporation Counsel Perry S Patterson
of Chicago to whom should have
charge of the legal work of the city
has resulted in new developments.
Katz threatened to bring quo war
ranto proceedings against Patterson to-
oust him as corporation counsel on the
grounds that he is not resident of
West Hammond
Patterson saw that Katz would be
able to oust him on these grounds, so
he resigned and was Immediately ap-
pointed to the office of special assess
ment attorney by Mayor K. NJ. Wos-
zczynski.
He will be able to perform all of the
duties OF corporation counsel, but his
title is changed. This meets with the
mayors approval for the reason that
he believes in the honesty and integri-
ty of Patterson. and thinks that he
ought to be rewarded for his efforts In
behalf of reform in West Hammond.
The reform element, for some rea-
son or another, does not have very
much confidence in Katz. They seem
to think that he is aligned with the
old gang.
They claim that he has made an Of
fer to pay over the $1,000 that is al
legged to be due Attorney Atwood and
that he has done this against the in
terests of the city and in the face OF
the opposition of the present city ad-
ministration.
Accordingly, it is expected that pro-
ceedings will be started to GUST Katz
from the position of city attorney
which he now holds. They say that nc

nection with the old gang is wanted
