new PARTY
FORMED
IN CITY

What is believed to be a plan to or
ganize an opposition to the reform ele-
ment in West Hammond had its incep-
tion last night in the meeting of a
number of West Hammond citizens at
John Murray's saloon.
Those who composed the party were
Judge Frank Green, Martin Finneran,
Jacob Katz and Councilmen Joseph
Wierzvicki. Mike Modrcejewski, Alex
A. Kowalski and John Jaronowski. all
from the south side.
The south side councilmen have new
er worked in harmony with the may
or, although they are of the same ma
tionality and were elected on the re-
form ticket.
They are now in league with the
enemies of the administration and are
seeking to divide the forces of reform
SO that mayor Wosczynski and then the
gang will pick out north slider to de-
feat them both. After the meeting at
Murray's place, an automobile was
hired and the party visited number of
south side saloonkeepers.
Politics is boiling on the south side,
and 1t is believed that it will take all
of the strength and. good counsel that
the reform element has to keep it in
power in the. city the line.
1t is rumored that the owners OF the
buildings that have in the past been
used for immoral purposes have raised
fund of $4,000 to fight the present
administration at the polls. The entire
purpose of the movement, according to
the report. is to reopen the red light
district in West Hammond.

WEST Hammond
REFORMER TO RUN

Miss Virginia Brooks, the West
Hammond reformer and suffragist,
has announced her intention of be-
coming candidate for justice of the
peace against Frank Green, the pres
ent incumbent
A nomination on the peoples party
ticket in West Hammond will be
equivalent to an election. 1t is now
practically certain that there will be
no other ticket in the field.
The opposition to the administration
has disappeared principally because it
is regarded as useless. So strong is
the peoples party ticket in West Ham
mond that an opposition ticket would
be riddled TO pieces.
The only hope that the old gang has
is that it may get some of it's own ad-
herents on the people-s ticket and EN-
barrass the administration to that ex-
tent or get a fake reform ticket in
the field.
Just to show how sure the general
public is that the reform administra-
tion will be victorious again; there arc
three candidates who go out after
Judge Frank Green's scalp. Virginia
Brooks will be a candidate for the job,
John b. Malkowski has fled his Pc
tition and is regarded a fairly strong
candidate. Adam Stachovitz, the ex-
president of the board. and member

The increases in fares are enormous

DEATH KNELL IF PRIZE RING
 |S PREDICTED
Killing of Bull Young by Jess Willard Friday Night ArOuses Public Sentiment Against Continuance of the Sport
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH

LOS ANGELES. Aug. 23-John
 CBulD Young, the cowboy heavyweight
 pugilist. died in a hospital here today
 from injuries suffered in the Vernon
 arena when he was knocked out by
 Jesse Willard, Immediately after his
 death, warrants charging rnanslaugh-
 ter were issued against Willard and eleven others connected with the fight, while legislators. cIergymen and club women revived the movement for an anti-prize fight bill for California The operation on Young's skull to re- lieVe the cerebral hemOrrhage which followed his being knocked out in the eleventh round of his scheduled twenty -round go, was first pronounced a success, but rapidly proved other wise. The pugilist remained in a state of coma from the time he Te- ceived Willard's right uppercut to
 the jaw, until death at 9:3O in the morning. The surgeons who operated on him stated that death was due to concussion of the brain.
 Warrants charging the following with manslaughter were issued: Jesse Willard, Thomas McCarey and Al GreenWald, the promoters of the fight; Tom Jones' the manager of Willard; Charles EytOn, the referee; Albert Harder, the timekeeper and the five seconds of the two men James Cameron CcOlOred), Eddie Web ster, Charles Anslinger. John Davies and Harry Monahan. The men were immediately arraigned and a prelim- mary examination set for August % Willards bonds were fixed at $5000, and the others at $500 each. Bonds were provided by James Jeffries and John Brink.
 It is said that the men will base | their defense on a ruling of Judge Frank Willis, of the criminal depart ment of the superior court, that con- tests licensed by municipalities are l legal. It is declared that the Young Willard match compiled with the ordi- nances of Vernon, an incorporated l city.
 Young'S death and the others taken into custody spoke similarly. Referee
 Eyton declared that the only hard
 blow struck was the knockout punch. | That until the finish no damage was ! done" he said, there had been nc

Wants His Pittsburg Detec- tive-Guardian at His Side to See That His Interests Are Well Looked Out for in Canada
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH

ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH
 SHERBROOKE, Aug 23-Harry Thaw is squabbling with the Domin- ions leading lawyers who have been retained to prevent ms return to Mat teawan hospital, from which he es- capped last Sunday night and is ap- parently as much in ignorance of the next move of his case as the casual idler around the SherbrOoke jail.
 To his counsel who conferred with him for two hours this afternoon Thaw was loquacious, cratic and domineer- ing and decided to await the arrival here of Roger O'Mara of Pittsburg, ThaWS detectives guardian, tomorrow
 Both sides admit that Thaw's com mittment was defective and conceded that he be released on a writ of habeas corpus when arraigned. ThaW's law Yers, however, believe the final de- cisiOn of the matter of deportation will come from the minister of the inter for, who is at present on his vacation at Vancouver. Facing such a predica- ment it was said tonight that the habe- as corpus proceeding will be held on Wednesday as previously set.
 Another possibility has been sug- gested that Thaw would come into the court and plead not guilty to the charge of being a fugitive and demand a trial. This, is is said, might not take place until the October term of court.

Caucus Progresses.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-The house democratic caucus progressed so rap idly with the administration currency bill that when an adjournment until Monday was taken, IT of the 51 pages had been disposed of and there were predictions that three or four days more might prove sufficient. The banking and currency committee then will lost no time in reporting the bill to the house where a week or fortnight of discussion may follow. The caucus voted down after a hard struggle the amendment of Representative Murray of Oklahoma to increase the number of members on the federal reserve board from ' to the vote being AT to 100. The proposition of Representa- tive Harrison of Mississippi, to in crease the annual dividend of share holders of the federal reserve banks from , to per cent was also repected. A better party harmony prevailed to- day. Some who were opposed to the interlOcking amendment yesterday, voiced in the caucus their objections to being classed as insurgents.

 ELECTROCUTED NEAR MESA CITY
Tries to Avert Danger of Burning Telephone and is Instantly iKlled by High Current - Local Mans Narrow Escape
Especial to The Republican,

MESA. August 23.-While trying to dtsconnect a burning telephone wire from the wall of the pump house on the Mcqueen ranch south of this city at o'clock yesterday morning. Harry Airline. an employe of the United States reclamation service was made the connector for the high power current and immediately electrocuted.
 Just before the accident Airline was engaged in assisting to install the new pumping plant on the ranch. Turning from his work for the in- stant he noticed the telephone box burning, with occasional flashes of light coming from it. With the evi- dent intention of tearing the thing from the wall he jumped toward the box and caught hold of the wire be- fore anyone could prevent, and was knocked several feet away. and when his companions reached his body he was dead.
 An investigation of the causes for the high power current through the telephone line showed that a heavily charged wire was lying across the telephone wire between here and l 'lIIEt u 4S SuIpOotu lIIstt tlQL HIS the electric storm of Friday night the lightning must have struck the tower on the Roosevelt power line burning the wires in two, one end of which fell across the telephone wire thus completing a circuit The line upon which the charged wire was found resting connected with the bump house telephone.

The body was turned over to the Smith Undertaking parlors where it was prepared for burial. It was not learned just what arrangements would be made in re gard to the funeral and it is possible that the body may be sent to his old home in Florida. Mir.
