oy woman, charging the ninety-sixth
member of the Senate with having treat
ed her with great indignity. The aft

senator.
The senator in question claims that his
political enemies are back of the charges
brought against him.

WORK IS BEGUN ON ERECTION
OF TEMPORARY CANAL BRIDGE

Work was begun yesterday on the
temporary bridge that must be built
over the west branch of the Indiana
Harbor and East Chicago canal to
make way for the permanent structure
that is to be erected at an outlay of
$4,000 at this point by the county.
Wednesday night there was a meet
ing of the city council for the purpose
of appropriating the money necessary
for this undertaking, $500 being ap-
propriated. and the contract awarded
TO George o. Reed
The day after the contract had been
awarded Mr.. Reed began getting his
machinery on the ground and this ma
chinery now forms a factor In the i'm
mense amount of equipment that lines
the canal. and is at work in the west
branch of the water way. The con-
struction of the temporary bridge

the present structure, and which will
practically be the present structure.

but q short while probably up to the
middle of next week.
Work will then be begun on .he
county structure which Is to be a fine

FUS|ON|STS BRING
OUT BIG CROWD

The Citizens meeting for the purpose
of organising for the coming city cleo
ton in East Chicago and Indiana Har-
Dor thanks to the publicity given the
movement by THE TIMES was a decided
success. Between 400 and 500 citizens
Of all parties attended the meeting and
enthusiasm and perfect harmony pre-
vailed. Many citizens who had never
before taken any part in preliminary
organization in the city were present
and taking an active part, and II sue
cess In organization stands for any
thing 1t argues well for the final re-
suit in November. The customary
drumming up crowd, especially
among what is called the foreign ele-
ment had been left out of this move
ment. but the most representative
body of all elements IN this city were
present that probably ever assembled
In this city, for a like purpose. Two
special cars were run from Indiana
Harbor and large delegations came in
