New York. Aug, Is. Though Thaw
was reported to have been seen in
many New England towns ae was ut
terly lost to those seeking him. The
authorities still believe he left the
auto on Long Island, boarding an ocean
going yacht which will either take him
to Europe or transfer him to an out
ward bound liner.
The authorities have kept up a
ceaseless wireless inquiry. asking all
vessels for information regarding a
yacht with a yellow funnel and an un-
usually large cabin.
Since Whitman and other officials
agree that Thaw cannot be extradited
the officials are puzzled aaout what 70
do with Thaw if they catch him
Thaw's friends expect him to make
his whereabouts known soon.
The story that Thaw boarded 2
yacht at South Norwalk, Conn. yes
terday was exploded BY Robert Fow
ler a carpet manufacturer who said
he was cruising in the sound in :
yacht Karthmar II which was the
name mentioned in the Norwalk story
Il was learned this afternoon that
the state will seek the extradtion OF
Thaw on assault or bribery charge.

MOOSE
PARTY WILL
HAVE TICKET

we shall follow our original plans
as announced some time ago.. said c..
G. K!ngweu, city chairman of the Ham
mond progressive party to a TIMES re-
porter yesterday afternoon in discuss
ing the decision Of the republicans last
Saturday night to put a complete re-
publican ticket in the field.
Carl E. Bauer, whom the progressives
would like to name for the mayoralty
is expected back from his vacation
which time it is expected that he will
indicate whether he would accept or
decline.
The aggressive and enthusiastic
spirit manifested by the republicans on
Saturday for a complete party ticket
will put quietus all talk of a fu-
sion against the democrats, under the
progressive banner.
The progressives in trying to pro-
mote fusion ticket under their name
said a we'll known republican was a
good patty move on their part for a
city campaign, for such program If it
would be successful would enable them
to take all the credit without having
to reveal any weakness on their party
for the next state campaign"

Col. Ham Directs
ManOeuvreS of
Army in East

Army and navy manoeuvres along the
New York cost recently brought a
former Lake County boy, Col. w. G.
Haau, a brother of Nicholas Haan In
Hammond again into prominence.
The New York Sun regarded as one
of the most circumspect papers In the
country sent a reporter to Col. Haan
for an official statement, as ne was
next in command to General Barry. and
acted as chief OF staff.
The manauvres lasting a week were
arranged as a test between the army
and navy. The latter nickanmed the
black fleet was composed of twelve
battleships. six cruisers. ffteen de-
stroyers and ten submarines of the
North Atlantic squadron and tried to
capture the port of New York. OPP
posed to this feet was the coast artil-
lery stationed in chain of forts
guarding Long Island Sound. In
speaking of the naval attack" on New
York Col. Haan said to the New York
sun that TIE land and water rnove-
nents provfded a vigorous tryout for
our standard equipment and coast de-
fense. Since 1905. when the last
manauvres of the kind were held.
great changes have been made IN coast
defense theories-in methods OF FIRE
ing and detecting fleets by searchlfght
and submarine defense. They have
been adopted and approved by tho
War department and are not merely
the pet theory of one man.
All the proceedings Col. Haan said
were carried on, IL the United
States had a real war on its.hands.
Col. Haan is comparatively a young
man yet. being only forty-eight year
old. Only one more rank. that of Brig
adier-General, needs to be attained and
passed by him before he reaches the
army mans goal of ambition, that of
a generalship.
Col Haan was born on the Haan
homestead east of Cedar Lake. He is a
graduate of the Crown Point high
school and later attended Valparaiso
University. Upon the recommendation
of the late Congressman Thos. Wood he
was admitted to West Point from
which he raduated with high honors.

SERVICE
DECIDEDLY
INFERIOR
Storm of Protest Arrives
Over Telephone Compa-
ny's New Reduced Rate;
Big Kick Is Promised
Right Away.

The Chicago Telephone company's
new reduced rate for long distance
calls under which the company assumes
to connect the calling party with the
telephone number only, instead with
the party called, as was the case under
the old rate, is beginning to bring out
objectors.
In introducing the change the COM
pany announced that eighty five per
cent of the long distance calls were for
a number, while the balance insisted
on the particular party too.
Attorney w ]. Winery in stating his
protest to THE TIMES today said he be-
lieved he was voicing a public senti-
ment in the matter.
"As far as I know said Attorney
Whinery. there was no demand on the
part of the public for reduced rates
Under the new system we are getting
decidedly inferior. service, and in. the
long run it is by. far~more expensive.
Ny telephone bills average fifteen or
twenty dollars a month. and while the
increased cost is an item my principal
objection Is that the subscriber is not
getting the service. I had no COM
plant to make against the old rate
percent of the calls for numbers
only I would suggest that it give the
subscriber the option of calling for his
party at the old rate or for his number
only at the new rate. few months
will soon show which is the more pop
ular method"
Another attorney said that he would
prefer the old rate. as under it the
party calling got better service and
avoided lot of detail work and incon-
veniences, the advoidance of which he
would glady pay for.
Mr. WINERY said he would lay the
matter before the Hammond Chamber
of Commerce for action.
The present party-only rate was pro-
mulgated several years ago but was
withdrawn after the company received
storm of protests. 1t was re-intro-
! duced last week.

Stany Bocowski of 493S Melville ave-

Solomon Boras. a baker with a shop

Did Staney satisfy 1t by wading into
Salomon and licking the tar out of

Not he. Staney might have been
hurt, had he pursued that course. In
stead he took ii out on the bakers de-
livery horse, which he slashed with a
knife in half dozen places making
wounds so serious that it is believed
the horse will die.
At least that was the story told by

Bocowski arrested yesterday morning.
Bocowski owns the premises at 493S
