HONOR IS
DECLINED
BY BAUER

Carl E. Bauer yesterday gave his an
swer to the progressives of Hammond
and declined the nomination for the
mayoralty on their ticket. His answer
was an informal statement to C. @.
Kingwell, chairman of the progessives.
After mature deliberation," said
Mr.. Bauer to THE TIMES today. Il de-
cided to decline the honor which the
progressives desired me to accept. I
appreciate the conffd ence that was
placed in me. but I could not see my
way clear to enter the campaign
Mr.. Bauer had no hesitancy in saying
that if the original program of the
progressives for a fusion ticket under
the progressive name could be carried
out that he would have accepted. The
offer for the nomination was made to
him before the republican party had
given a formal notice to the progress
sives TO the effect that they would not
consider a coalition.
There seems to be no question but
what the progressives were prepared
for Mr.. Bauer's answer Last Friday
evening they decided to make their
nominations on Friday September 18th.
and Chairman Kingwel1 stated on the
following morning that If Mr.. Bauer
would not accept. that some other man
would be named.

DISMISSED
IN COURT

A divorce which was to have been
re-opened In Judge Bceker's court and
which promised to be sensational be-
cause of the way it had been secured
came to a sudden end in the court this
morning when Attorney Reiland sub
mitted a motion to have the case dis
missed. The case in question was that
of w. Subotich and his wife of Indiana
Harbor.
Last Spring Subotich was granted
divorce on the ground that his wife
had deserted him. Several months
later however his wife returned from
Europe and through Attorney w. A
Reiland filed a complaint to the effect
that she was the victim of a frame
up" and stated among other things
that her husband had arranged a fare
well party for her and had urged her to
go to Europe for her health and that
his seeking divorce had never en-
tered her mind. On the face of it it
looked as though the husband had Sc
cured the separation by fraud and that
the court had been misled. She filed a
petition for rehearing and this would
have come up in this term of court
In the meantime however 1t seems
that the spouses have made up and a
motion to dismiss the case was made
/ in court this morning. otherwise accu-
| sations for perjury might have been
expected.
| Attorney Joe Meade who represented
the husband in the case assured Judge
Becker this morning that he as at
torney had brought the suit in good
faith and that he drew up the com
| plant charging desertion in the belief
that the woman had actually deserted
| her husband.

IT WAS A
GREAT FEAST

New York, Sept. 9.-"All those
in favor of slit skirts please stand
up"
Millions of full grown mosqui-
toes ran wildly out on the flush
ing meadows, about seven O'Clock
last night, and took part in the
most rollicking barbecue ever held
in the east.
Right in the middle of the salt
grass waste where five cars of a
Long Island railroad train. stalled.
After the train had stood for a few
minutes, out of the passenger cars
pohred the choicest morsels of hui
manity that the skeeters ever saw.
There were stenographers, type
writer's, cashiers, millinery at
taches and Buxom matrons. Slit
skirts were numerous.
There is some style in the
mosquito belt and every member
of the family seemed to know at
once which of the passengers was
dressed a la mode. The squeals
and slaps of the fair ones as they
tried to stop the onslaught sound
ed like a tattoo.
The procession lasted for more
than two hours ,and when the last
stenographer reached home a
unanimous vote was taken declar-
ing the mosquito a pest.

PEARL BUTTONS. AGAIN.

Muscatine has been a great place
for making pearl buttons. About four
thousand people are employed in their
pearl button factories. Now the pro-
posed Wilson tariff will transfer the
pearl button industry to Japan and
Australia, where labor is cheap The
people of Muscatine are alarmed and
are telegraphing to Congressman Pep
per to try to save the day for them.
This situation of affairs leads the Des
Moines Capital to say with great ,er-
tinency and force:
The people OF Muscatine have been
anxious to have the tariff reduced.
They voted the democratic ticket md
in all reason ought now to take their
medicine. The fact is every locality
which is iniuriously affected by the
proposed tariff is joining in great
wall. Protectionists will not be dis
posed to lose any sleep on account or
the situation The country will surely
come back to the principle which has
made the United States and Germany
what they are.

VII SON AND LABOR UNIONS.

The new administration has taken
its stand Numerically opposite 10 the
position of the Taft administration on
the important question long disputed
as to whether the Sherman antitrust
law should be understood to apply
against labor unions or other co-opera-
tive associations This news was
forthcoming after a conference pc
tween the President and Senator Mar
tin and Representative Fitzgerald as
to the reintroduction OF the sundry
civil bill, which was vetoed by TAFT
because 1t contained the proviso that
no money should be spent prosecuting
labor unions under the Sherman law.
Taft had characterized this as class
legislation OF the most vicious sort.
The bill was repassed by the house.
but failed to get through the senate.
Now, after the conference with Will
son, the bill has been reintroduced
with the same provision therein to
which Taft objected. Martin and
Fitzgerald received from President
Wilson the assurance that he would
not veto the bill On that account and
that he was satised with that provi-
sion.
