WILL TAKE
CARE Of
BRIDGE

Good and permanent repairs for the
Kennedy avenue bridge were promis
ed this morning in East Chicago by
County Commissioner George ..
Schaaf and Contractor o. f. Nichols
OF Hebron who has the contract to re-
pair the bridge.
Complaint has been made that re-
pairs on the bridge have given way
and that traffic is again endangered.
A truck went through the bridge three
weeks ago and last Friday it was
found necessary to close it again.
THE repairs about which there has
been complaint said Contractor
Nichols and Commissioner Schaaf this
morning" were merely temporary. in
awaiting material for permanent i'm
provements."
We have ordered new piling. new
caps and new flooring for the bridge. "
sal dCommissioner Schaaf. SO that
when these improvements are made
there will virtually be a new bridge,
which we hope will last long enough
until there has been some government
decision on the course of the river
channel. so that we know where to
build new and better bridge. If
there is no delay in the arrival of ma
terial. the work should be completed
within three weeks"
Mr.. Schaaf said that the repair work
would cost approximately $500. Con-
tractor Nichols also has tn contract
for the building of a bridge in the
Brown road at Maynard which leads
over the Hart ditch.

While they do not admit il openly, it
is known that the defeated Demo-
Gratis are sore at the Germans Of the
state for voting against Wilson. some
of them point to the fact that Fort
Wayne. which has a large German
population and where resentment
against Wilson was prominent. was car
ried by Hughes. although the Democrats
normally figure on a plurality of 3,0eO
to 1000 in Fort Wayne. 1t is shown
that Hammond normally democratic
went republican only because of the
German vote. 1t is pointed out, too,
that Evansville Germans cut down the
Democratic vote. although the First
district elected a Democratic congress-

Germans of indianapolis soaked the

of making an investigation of the
charges OF election corruption in the
state. Lake county will be the frst

trunks and boxes full of ballots. poll
books. tally sheets and other election
material and figures from Lake county
have been brought here for the use of
the grand jury. on Saturday after
noon also. the Federal authorities
took possession of all of the records
Of the election in Marion county. thus
showing that it intends to make an
investigation of this county. other
counties are to follow. so it is report
ed. and it Will probably take many
weeks for the grand jury to finish its
work. 1t is said that the investiga-
ton is being made wholly on a non
partisan basis. and all sides seem to
be agreed that IL there was any crook
edness in the campaign or the election
the guilty ones should be punished. no
matter what party they belong to. The
usual secrecy which surrounds a fed

stance, and no information is permit

State republican leaders in analysing

the reason for the failure to give

Blame Gary Bosses
Information here is that local con-
ditions rather than Wilson's populari-
ty caused the upheavel at Gary, there
having been received many complaints
from the steel town. If Wilson were
to blame il is pointed out that the re-
publicans would have lost the nearby
communities of Hammond. Whiting
and Indiana Harbor instead of their

That the Gary steel workers who are
