 GARY.
EVERYWHERE
SHIPS SINKING AND BLOOD FLOWING ALL
 OVER.

PETROGRAD, April 6.-By desper- ate bayonet charges the Russians are now gradually forcing their way into Hungary in spite of the stubborn resistance of the Austrians. Most of the fighting in the Carpathians is now being done on the Hungarian slope of those mountains. in the northern bat tlefelds frightfUl carnage is taking place.

SOON TO SPEAK
 ON RAILROAD
DEFINITE PLANS WILL PROB ABLY BE ANNOUNCED
 IN A FEW DAYS.

WASHINGTON, April 6.-It is learned positively that the definite plans in relation to the government Alaska railroad will be announced in a few days. The general belief is that the work of construction will start in June if not earlier. Everything is ready to begin but the president is delaying his official announcement of the route for some reason which is not evident but which may probably be easily guessed. There is really more silence maintained about the matter now than previous to the announce ment by the newspapers that Seward had won but the site of the terminal is known publicly just as well as if Mir. Wilson had given out his official statement.

ELECTRIC FRANCHISE
 MATTER POSTPONED.

At the city council meeting last night the electric franchise asked for by Poindexter and Anderson was laid over and will probably net be acted upon until the new council takes office. Hewitt was the only man voting against the proposal to lay the matter over. City attorney J. Lindley Green objected to the nature of the bonds filed because, he thought, none of the bondsmen hold property here which could easily be taken. He also Geclar- ed that the clause in the proposed franchise promising to pay the city out of the net earnings was wlsatis- factory, and that the term Of the franchise was too long. This term was for fifty years but the city was given the privilege to buy out the company after twenty years. In other respects the meeting was devoid of interest.

KING PROCLAIMS THE
 PALACE PROHIBITION.
King George Sends Out Notice That He Goes On the Water
 Wagon.

LONDON, April 6.-King George issued his prohibition order for the royal household yesterday and never until the war comes to an end will any member of the royal-entourage taste liquor of any kind in any of the royal households. The question is now be- coming the chief topic of conversation all over the kingdoms. The authorit- ies are apparently waiting to secure an idea as to the opinions of the peo- pie generally before launching prohi- bition positively but that the country will adopt the prohibition measure seems to be most likely.

INDIANAPOLIS, April 6.-The jury in the Terre Haute election scandal cases has found all the twen- ty-seven defendants guilty of fraud.

STREAM OF PEOPLE MOVED STEADILY TO POLLS
 ALL MORNING.

Judging by the way the people vot- ed during the earlier half of the day nearly the full number of those regis tered will cast vote in the municipal election.

That was just half of the day of twelve hours during winch time the polls are open but the earlier hours are always less availed of for voting. There is apparently no guide to lead a person to fair guess of the prob able result. The belief that certain candidates will secure the votes of a certain collection of people in the community seems to be we'll founded but the chances are that the votes will he scattered more than is generally expected As there has been no meet inc held there is very little work on for a guess. It is made still more difficult to gauge the result by the in- terest of the people in other matters particularly the railroad, and by the lack of any great enthusiasm of any sort.
 During the noon hour twenty-sN people voted. The polls close at seven o'clock D. m--

crossed by the labor men he tried to
corrupt and despite the expenditure
of several hundred thousand dollars,
failed to accomplish his mission in any
effective manner. Mr. Marshall gave
the major credit for Rintelen's fail
ure to the stand taken by high Of

"Rintelen only succeeded in cor
r,,pting some subordinates. Mr.. Mar

double crossed. The real labor lead

ties. Save for a few small strikes.
none of his efforts was successful and
all the strikes he did instigate were
quickly killed by the good men at the
head of unions L am not prepared
to state just how much money Rim
telen expended but it ran into hun
dreds of thousands of dollars. He had
100000 to his credit in one bank"

that he would not be called as a wit
