gave him breathless attention because
he related them as an eye witness. He
spoke for more than two hours and at
the conclusion OF his address and that
of Rev Franz Won Schubert a venerable
Wilkesbarre, Pa. minister who followed
him. the audience raised three hundred
dollars for the German American fund
TO rebuild the district of Ragnit in East
Prussia. The Lake county alliance al
ready has rebuilt a two family dwelling
at Niebenburg at a cost of two thou
sand dollars.
The speaker paid a high tribute to the
mothers of all the nations in the war
the real heroines. They remarked
fOrcefully ON the American sentiment
which raises a hue and cry about Ger
many's deportation of able-bodied men
from Belgium to Germany to work along
side German workmen at their pay. the
cossack deportation OF $4,000 mothers
and children into the forests of Russia
and Siberia

these pictures which were advertised
will be shown in a Hammond theater at
a very small cost in the very near
future.

will force vote in both houses on pro
hibition. and they hope to put it across
before a vote is taken on a constitu-
tional convention. Therefore. il looks
like red-hot fight.
The constitutional convention bin
probably Will pass the senate. as well as
the house. because the pressure of the
recommendation by both Governor
Ralston and Governor Goodrich in their
messages probably Will cause enough
members of both parties to vote for ii to
pass it. But the drys says this will not
be enough to satisfy them. They want
the statutory prohibition along with it.
It Is reported that two or three Dem
ocrats in the senate will probably vote
to pass the bill to abolish the state oil
inspection department when it comes
over from the house. although they vot-
ed a few days ago to Kill senate bin
on the same subject Some Of them
have learned that their action in oppos-
ing Governor Goodrich's program Of
economy for political party reasons has
not been popular in the state.
Representative Eikenberry has intro
duced in the house a bill which would

among the Senate Democrats as they
had expected and they are now working
on Republicans to get some OF them linz
ed up against il. 1t is claimed that
eight Senate Democrats will vote for
prohibition. while not more than four
or five Republicans will vote against it.
The anti-prohibition forces have sent
calls to bankers in various cities of the
state to come here and help to defeat
the prohibition bill These bankers. it
is said hold large amounts Of brewery
securities. and these would be Jeopardiz-
ed by the passage of the prohibition bill
These bankers are expected to arrive TO-
day and help the brewers to defeat the
bill.
1t is expected that the senate COM
mittee on rights and privileges, which
has the woman suffrage bill in charge
will make a favorable report on the bill
but this is not certain. 1t is known that
there are at least three, and possibly
four of the seven members against it.
The committee is composed of Senators
Dobyns. of Greensburg; Lanz. OF Bed
ford. Smith, of Knox. and Kinder. of
Gary. Republicans. and Erskine, OF
Evansville; Hazen, of Bonneville and
YanAuken. of. Auburn, Democrats. Kin
der Hazen and Erskine are known to be
opposed to woman suffrage to such a
degree that nothing could induce them
to vote for il. LAM is counted as doubt
full and no one appears 10 know where
VanAuken stands.
But in any event. the bill will be
brought out of the committee and
threshed out on the floor of the senate
for Lieutenant Governor Bush has an
nounced that he does not propose to per
nit any bill to die in committee. If any
committee refuses to report a bill either
way he says he Will see that the bill is
taken from that committee and given
to another, or that he. will refer it TO the
committee of the whble, so that it may
get fair hearing ana a fair chance.
The forces that are fighting against
prohibition are seeking to bring about
a vote on the constitutional convention
proposition before they allow a vote 20
be taken on prohibition. They say if
they can accomplish this they can then
elect enough wet delegates to conven-
ton to keep prohibition out of the re-
vised constitution. But the dry forces
say they will not permit this problem
to be carried out. They declare they
