KERN STILL RANKED AS
PRESIDENTIAL PROBABILITY

In the Saturday Evening Post of two
weeks ago Samuel C. Blythe, a well
known political writer. had long
ticle on the democratic presidential
situation. and he said plainly that it
looked like Kern was the man preferred
by Bryan and that he stood an excellent
chance of being nominated. This may
have been the foundation of the latest
story from Washington, although this
is not known to be the cause.
One thing that makes the story look
little bit doubtful is the fact that
Bryan will go to the convention as dele
gate from Nebraska bound by instruc-
tions to vote for the nomination of
Champ Clark. Just how he could wig
gle out from under those instructions
and support Kern or any other man
against Clark is difficult to figure out
Undou btedly Kern viii try to upset
any such plan, II an effort is made to
place his name before the convention
by prearranged plan. For him to al
low this to be done would mean that
he would have to double cross Marshall,
and nobody ever accused Kern of be-
ing double crosser. Instead he has
been the double crossed in numerous
instances If no nomination is made on
an early ballot his name might be
sprung. IL 1t is seen that Marshall can
not land, but not otherwise.
From New York comes a story that
Tammany is looking with favor on
Kern as its second choice, Mayor Gay
nor being its first choice. Other reports
have been that Tammany was favor
able to Marshall as second choice.
Arrangements have been made by In
diana democrats to run two special
trains from Indianapolis to Baltimore
| to carry the Indiana delegation and
others who wish to attend the conven-
tion- The plan Is to have the democrats
assemble here to make the trip. and 1t
Is expected by the promoters of the
trip that several hundred democrats
from over the state will go along. They
will have the trains decorated with
| flags and banners announcing Marshall
for president. and they will also take
along brass band

COL, TIM
CUTS OUT
BUNNY HUG

T. w Englehart, the duke of Ridge
road" has been selected to lead the
grand march at the first annual ball
of the Gary cops which is going to be
such a big affair that it will have to
be held in two separate halls. the Gard
en- and Assembly halls.
EnElehart Best LOCKER.
At first some of the faithful wanted
Mayor Knots to stand in the front
rank but it was argued that Englehart
looks a good deal better in a full dress
suit and he is a much more graceful
waltzer Hence the decision of the
committee on the social conventions.
A Bias Turkey Trot.
"You can take 1T from Englehart."
said Tim this morning, Il absolutely
refuse to do any of this bunny hug or
turkey trot business however and if
anybody puts it up to me to do any of
these wiggly dances with the condi-
ton 1 am in and so much real estate
on my hands I'm going to hand them

II may decide to show the society
people of Gary that 1 am there with
the Highland fling or neat little
Apashav or Salomey stunts go with
me- There's place for all these
things but not at the policeman's ball.
And don't be sending any of them sob
sisters around to interview me on the
de-cay-dence of the waltz for 1 wont

FOUNTAIN IS STARTED
At PEACE MONUMENT
In Operation First Time Since
Memorial Shaft Was
Erected.

For the first time since its erection
many years ago the fountain at the base
OF the Naval or Peace monument in the
circle at the intersection of Pennsylvania
avenue and 1st street west. is now in
operation. 1t is good-sized basin and
surrounds the monument on all sides. II
is supplied by water from pipes opening
on each side of the square pedestal. and
is drained SO that the water Is always
fresh and clear. The entire basin was
refined and repaired few days ago and
connected with the water and sewer sys-
TENS.
The so-called Peace monument was
erected in memory of the seamen and
marines who served in the civil war. 1t
is a marble column surmounted by an
allegorical group Of female figures. with
classical female figures also on the front
and back Of the pedestal
The fact that the fountain was never
put into operation until this late day
undoubtedly was due to doubt as to what
particular office or official had charge of
the monument. AS no one else seemed
to be in charge, Col Cosby finally as
sumed the responsibility of completing
the project and putting the fountain In
operation. The cool. flowing water un-
doubtedly has added to the attractive
ness Of the locality. and the Improvement
has been the subject of favorable COM
ment by the throngs who see 1t on their
way to and from the Capitol.
