{, CHICAGO
ALLIES IN
new SPLIT

The allied forces" meaning the
committees from the democrats pro-
gressives and disgruntled republicans
met again last night in Willis f. Roe's
office in the Calumet building. East
Chicago.
Apparently no more was accomplish
ed at last nights meeting than at the
previous meetings held. There seems
TO be a pretty fairly unanimous opin-
ion, that the above forces should get
together in the coming fall campaign.
but the rock on which they promise to
split is the method to be used in Sc
lecting their candidates
From last nights meeting it would
Iappear that the committeeman from
the Harbor are all in favor of con-
vention to nominate while the East
Chicago contingent insists upon di-
lrect primary. Some of these latter are
evening willing to hint that this sys-
tenn is absolutely the only one which
will gain their support.
At last nights meeting. P. A Parks
presided as chairman. j. d. Kennedy
officiating secretary.
There were seventeen present and a

preservation and public safety all of
these women are willing to testify
against the Monon railroad.
Cannot Tell Exactly.
Mrs. Mcdowell was at the front door
of her home idling for a moment when

gates are but thirty feet from her
door. but long hanging branches of
trees shut off her view to a certain
exetnt. She cannot say as to the man.

machine got over the three switch
tracks to the main line.
A carpenter by the name of Frank
Lyons, who is declared to have wit
messed the slaughter from good point
of vantage, is being sought. as are
two girls who are declared by the
Monon inquirers to have been stand
ing by the Monon gates west of the
crossing.
Women Are Frustrated.
A house to house canvass on Clinton
street revealed little yesterday from
women on the west side of the Monon,
for all who were witnesses were pros
trated by the affair The scene Just
after the accident was an unusual i'm
pfeSSiNe one. Tor women HOCked from
their homes to the street with horror
written on their faces. hysterical and
puzzled -witted.
Made Sick By Horror.
They went back to their babies with a
picture OF death imprinted on their
minds. lying awake all night sick from
the shock.
Tender hearted women willingly told
what they knew this morning. A few
cried and all showed signs of atigue
and worry. II developed, however, that
the only substantial version was told
in THE TIMES yesterday
Smith Heard From.
NJ. T. Smith. section foreman of the
Monon who hires and fires crossing
flagmen and towermen. was one of the
first to reach the scene. He did not
witness the accident but was there
soon after and helped to place Prohl in
the ambulance. He then repaired the
gates as best he could talked to the
towerman. a mere boy, and was not
heard from until this morning. When
an attempt was made to find him yes
terday he was busy on the section. AS
soon as he was at liberty he reported
what ne knew of the affair
How Gates Were Broken.

of Monday afternoon and they have
resulted in a confusion of evidence.

Later she told Mrs C. E. Hutchinson
that the gates were down and at an
other time told Mrs. S. J. Mcdowell
that they struck Prohl upon the head.

Interurban Connection

Chicago Heights, Ill, June 11.-For
the last two years Albert Van Steen-
berg, the former county commissioners,
working in conjunction with other
gentlemen, has been endeavoring to
get an interurban railroad built from
Hammond to Chicago Heights. At one
time it was thought certain that the
road would be built. but the illness and
death of William H. Reed. the pro-
moter and builder of the Chicago and
Southern Traction line, who was large
ly interested in the Chicago Heights
Hammond proposition, tended to stop
matters.

GROSS
CARELESSNESS

Yesterday afternon, about twenty
four hours after the PrOhI grade
crossing accident ON Sibley street,
n Hammond physician was driving
west ON Fayette street. As he np-
preached the crossing watchman
signaled him to stay back. The
gate tender motioned to him to
come forward. Confused by counter
orders, the physician brought his
car to a stop. Before he could start
again, a gate was lowered ON the
top of his machine. By the time he
was released a switch engine pass
ed over the crossing on another
track. He escaped that time.

REVIEW OF
SITUATION ON
PRIMARY EVE

a canvas of the democratic poll
ticians of Gary regarding tomor-
rows primary outcome indicates
that the Knots men fear defeat il
Zawadzl<i polls even an ordinary
vote in the first and second subdi-
visions. A light vote is anticipated
for this district. 1t is in Tolleston,
Ridge road and the south end where
the battle will be fought.
Judging from attendance at the
meetings Zawadzki will carry two
thirds of the south end vote.
Alderman w. S. Feuer, one of tho
campaign managers for Zawadzki
see his nomination as assured.
Bill Cain. one of the Knots adj
herents. who hastened back to Gary
from Detroit in response to S. o. S.
signals admitted that Knots out
look isn't very bright but that he
would win the nomination by a
close shave.
1t has developed that most of the
foreign police-they make up sixty
per cent of the Gary department
are with Zawadzki.
Chief Martin said that in pur-
suant to the tsatutes he would as
sumo the duty of policing the polls.
The only place where he looks for
trouble is in the Polish precincts.

Van Steenberg has kept busy on the
work with the result that the Chicago
City railway company has asked for
and has been granted a franchise to
build a line from Hammond to Lansing,
about one-third the distance from
Hammond to Chicago Heights.
This is a good start. and IT indicates
that eventually the line will be ex-
tended to Chicago Heights

now owns and operates the Chicago
and Interurban Traction line. had
planned to build a branch line from
Harvey to Hammond. but 1t is not

CITY IS RAKED FOR MORE WITNESSES
INTEREST IN
ACCIDENT INTENSE

1t is to be doubted whether any
news event in the history of the
city of Hammond ever caused such
an inquiry and universal comment
as the Prohl tragedy. Such de-
mand was made for THE TIMES
last night that an extra edition
was run and it was exhausted by
nine o'clock This morning an
other edition had to be run off to
supply the demand 1t was noted
that the decedent's friends in the
humblest walks of life from all
parts of North township called for
the papers.

it would be to keep order. which it

on the Hammond police force and is

HOwATI
CANDIDATE
FOR MAYOR
Physician Will Not Make
the Race, However, Unless
Nominations Are Made by
Primaries; Matter to be
Decided Next Monday.

The big question in the democratic
party in Hammond today is whether
nominations for the fall campaign are
to be made by caucus or primaries
The question was precipitated by THE
TIMES last night. when in a news story
1t stated that DIR. w. F. Howat would
be candidate for the mayoralty NOM
inatfon.
Meeting Monday.
A meeting of the democratic city CEN
trail committee is called for Monday,
June 23rd. This body will determine
the manner of procedure for the NOM
ination of candidates.
Mayor Smalley is an avowed candi-
date. Dr. Howat is a candidate, con-
ditionally and with a proviso. In an
interview with a TINES reporter the
physician said:
The announcement in THE TIMES
last night was a trifie premature as
far as I am concerned. but inasmuch
as 1t was made 1 will say this:
intend to be candidate for the may

tions are to be made in primary cleo
ton. If nominations are to be made in
a caucus l probably cannot prevent
my name being mentioned. but in that
event I would not consider myself a
factor
Believes in Primaries.
Discussing the subject more inform
ally DR. Howat said that he was firm
believer in primary nominations. and
that he was in a position to enter the
race without any strings being tied to
him.
