CHAPTER VI.
The Medics. Director.


Never will | forget the medical
director of the Institute. He was
rather q stout man with just enough
expansc Of waist-line to make him
eligible as a candidate for judge.
He was pompous. He was dignihed
He was handsome He was physi-
cally well p-opCrtioned. His en-
boppoint was just sufficient to make
his white vest At well and add TO his
dignity. He was between i5 and so
years Of age. His dark hair and
mustache were slightly tinged with
gray. He was % fiorid complexion.
He had a soft voice, a winning
smile, end sympathetic and
psternal bearing that won your con-
hdence at once.
Should you ever wish 10 recall the
appearance of m. medical director,
just gaze upon a picture OF Wallin6-
ford in one Of his happiest moods,
after he had Just robbed somebody
of 10000, and you will come face
to- face with DR.. B., The Renowned
Discoverer of the Only Infallible and
Permanent Cure for the Liquor, Nor
phine. and Tobacco Habits" Be-
sides this personal resemblance to
Wallingford, DR.. 3. was also a nat
uraI-born promoter; hut his pro-
motion schemes never turned out
financial successes.
On my first entrance to the instl
tute DR. B. greeted me with wei
coming smile and glao, warm
hand-shake. After adjusting his spec
tacies and reading my card he
again shook hands with me, calling
me my dear doctor" and assuring
me Of bis great pleasure IN making
my acquaintance--apd believe he
felt Il.
Then told hin my tale Of woe.
/ Yes, he could and would cure me,
and without any pain or physical
discomfort whatever. In fact, under
the miraculous influence OF bis Won
derful treatment IL would be only
a picnic for me to go on" the drug.

The Steel trust workman who shows
any leanings toward organization,
who talks out loud any kind of a

a hurry.

Gary was laid out to beat labor
in any and every attempt at Organi-
zation. Look at a map of the works.
Walk around town and see it.
THE big mills are surrounded by
a lake, a river and high bluffs. There
are only two exits or entrances. You
go in and out by the Broadway or
Virginia street gates. A machine gun
at each of those gates or a small
squad of guards with rifles could
keep everybody in and could keep out
an enormous force.

ers from the Steel trust are that no
other industries shall get fOOthOld

the beginning of organization. For
instance, a Crown Point overall fac
tory wanted to come here. It saw a
chance to sell its product cheap and
yet with a profit to the many workers
who use Overalls and must pay the
freight cost of hauling them here.
The committee on industries of the
Gary Commercial club TebUffed the
efforts of the Crown Point overall

ask for a bonus. All it wanted was
a chance to buy a site at a reasonable
price. It met such a frost that moth

The committee on industries Of
the Gary Commercial club has for its
members Capt. Horace Norton, prop
erty agent of the Gary Land Co., a
subsidiary of the Steel trust, and
George H. Manlove, who has ap-
peared in litigation for the Steel

"The slogan of this town is Pluck
Me- Besides the exploitation through
low wages and a 12-hOUr day, 7-day
week and high real estate rentals of
the Gary Land Co., which owns 1850
houses, there is the Gary State bank,
the Gary Heat Light & Water Co., the
big Alschuler department store at
Broadway and 5th av., the Gary hO-
tel, all of which are either owned
outrightly by Steel company direc-
tors and henChmen or are paying
high land rentals to the steel COM
pany which owns the land they oper-
ate on.
ANY workingman fool enough to
buy real estate has a tax burden load

OBSTRUCTION WAS VISIBLE.
ksokuk Woman. Who Fell Over Hose
Fails TO Collect DAMAGES.

Keokuk. Oct. 2S.--An important rul-
Ing was made by Judge w. s. Hamil-
ton in the district court here when he
ordered the jury to return a verdict
for the defendant In the case of Julia
f. Cutshall VS., the city of Keokuk.
Mrs. Cutshall stumbled over u hose
USED by the city on one OF the principal
streets two years ago, and sustained
injuries. She claimed damages.
At the conclusion of her testimony
the court listened TO arguments and
sustained the defendants motion for n
directed verdict. The court held that
this was an obstruction and was
visible to the plaintiff, and that the
pedestrian must be on the lookout for
any such distractions.
The accident occurred on Sept, "a,
1914. Mrs. Cutshall was walking with
her daughter over a sidewalk familiar
to her at one of the business corners
Of the city. The city was putting in
concrete street and the hose was a
tnree-inch hose, inflated, The plain
tiff was showing her daughter a
powder box and had replaced it in her
,pocketbook, when she fell over the
hose. The accident occurred about ?
o'clock in the afternoon.
The plaintiff in her testimony said
she could have seen the hose II her at
tenton had not been distracted
The court cites two supreme court
opinions as to the character of the
diversion which diverts the mind OF
the plaintiff. In one case it was held
that plaintiff fell into a manhole in
cement walk. But in this case the
court held that the defect was not
visible. In the case at bar the court
held the obstruction was visible.

Dcs Moines, Oct 2S.-Justice S. NJ
Weaver, of the Iowa supreme court
has refused to support w. l.. Harding
republican candidate for governor, and
authorized statement today that he
would cast his vote for Meredith on
Nov. Z. Justice Weaver is the man
whose vote in 1854, when a member OF
the general assembly. broke the tie on
the constitutional prohibitory amend
ment and caused it's adoption. In his
for the liquor traffic. If Harding wins
in the election, the supreme court JUS
tice believes that it will be hailed as a
victory for the liquor forces and the
defeat of Meredith will be taken to
mean defeat of the dry cause. The
election of Harding will be blow at
the prohibitory amendment. according
to Justice Weaver. He took his stand
in favor Of the prohtbitory amendment
in 1884 and he declares he has not
changed his mind since then.
Old Fight Recalled.
The part which Judge Weaver took
in passing the prohibitory amendment
in 1884 will always he remembered
The wet forces had made a terrific
fight to prevent the passage Of the
amendment. After many days Of de-
bate the issue came to a vote in the
house. The vote was tied. At that
time Mr.. Weaver, representative
was in the hospital. He had suffered
fracture Of the hip, in fall on the
icy steps Of the state capitol. He ia
vored the amendment and his vote was
needed to carry the day for the dry
forces. Mr.. Weaver consented to be-
ing taken to the state house on a
stretcher. He was carried into the
house of representatives and there casi
the deciding vote for the amendment
Since then Justice Weaver has been
consistently fighting on the side Of the
dry forces. Following this policy he
will on Nov. ! cast his vote for Mere
dith for governor
