|tion at Gary works, which insures
s24. 100000 for this purpose.
Due to Baldwin Works.
Three months ago Superintendent
Gleason of the steel works announced
that the corporation didn't want the
city to insall public harbor east OF
the steel plant because the site Is
wanted for the National Tube company,
which will build within two years.
The reason for the going over the
plans and preparing them for the
construction OF the new blast fur
naces is said to be due to the start
ing of construction on the Baldwin Lo-
connective works at Calumet and the
advent of the tube works. Gary works
viii furnish much of the steel to be
used by these two concerns and with
| in the past year owing to the inabil-
Iity of the blast furnaces to produce
enough iron to meet local require
| ments the corporation had to go into
the market and buy enough of the
product.
1 Whether the construction of the
blast furnaces will mean the build
ing of the corresponding auxiliaries
open-hearth furnaces, rolling mills,
etc, is not known at this time. AT
average of 100000 is required to

each of the wards of said City. to be
regularly selected for the purpose
irrespective of party utilization. and
that such delegates shall be selected
and apportioned by city wards, accord
ing to the total strength OF such wards
at the last national election for the
highest office voted for at such cleo
tion. and that the number of delegates
so to be chosen, shall be left to the
proper decision of the City Central
Committee of such Citizens party.
w. O. Harmon at once proposed that
the resolution be laid on the table and
offered a substitute resolution provid-
ing for the primary method. He be-
Iieved the people should be given a
chance to select a ticket. Homer Ans
ley of Gary wanted In on the resolu-
tion. He spoke for what he said would
be a compromise. stating a method
which he declared had been adopted In
Gary, but this was practically the same
as the resolution offered by Fowler.
All of this had the effect of letting
loose a deluge OF oratory. J. D. Ken
nedy. Johnnie keenan,. William Fuzzy,
A. MvKenzie, Willis E. Roe and j.
Brissey favored the laying of the res
olution on the table, while j. Brissey
and b. d. l.. Glazebrook were among
the convention advocates and conse-
Quently in favor of the resolution. The
question was put. The assembly was
divided and the motion to lay the res
olution on the table was lost by a
small margin.
Willis E. Roe. chairman of the pro-
gressives then made a speech in which
he acknowledged defeat and said the
progressives would accept 1t grace
fully.
1t was B. D. L. Glazebrook who Of
fered the resolution committee the or
| ga nization to run a platform. a COM
mittee of FIVE to be later named by the
chairman, to frame the platform.

LITTLE DOING IN.
THE COTTON MARKET
Price of Cotton Works Low.
er After Small Initial :
Advance

New orleans, June 1s--After a small in
itial advance today the price of cotton
worked lower The market had little of
the snap shown on several proceeding
sessions this week. the short interest ap-
pes,red to have been considerably reduced
and longs were apparently more disposed
TO try for profits than for a further rise.
One reason for the lower trend of the
market was the more favorable turn taken
by the weather over the cotton belt. Tenn
peratures We're higher, next to no rain
was reported. the forecast promised con
tin,led dry and somewhat warmer weather
and reports from the fields were th.t
work is progressing fast in the fields. al
though young plants to some extent
showed the effect of recent cold nights.
Many of the more advanced sections OF
the belt reported blooms. and reports
from south Texas were that the first bale
in the Corpus Christi district would make
its appearance about July /.
The opening was steady at an advance
of to points. In the early trading the
advance was increased to to 6 points,
which was the high OF the day. Prices
gradually sagged until they We're Q to 10
points under the last quotations OF yes
terday. The afternoon was dull. The
market closed barely steady at the lowest
of the day.
