HIS NAME FROM

Republicans Once More With
out a Leader and Will Call a
Mass Meeting to Let the
Voters Decide.
PROGRESSIVES WILL
HOT ENTER THE RACE
Pass Resolution Throwing
Strength to Citizens' Move
ment Another Joyce Club
is Formed.
Refusal on the part of William H.
Oren to carry the emblem of the re
publican party for the honor of being
South Eend's mayor; the switch of
the progressive party to the citizens'
movement and a meeting of Joyce
supporters in the fourth ward were
rome of the events that tooA place
In the city's political world Wednes
day night.
At a meeting of the precinct com
mitteemen of the progressive party in
the office of City Chairman W. E.
stiller in the J. M. S. building, a reso
lution was adopted to withdraw fur
ther action toward placing a progres
sive ticket in the field and unite with
the citizens' party to help numlnato
and elect its ticket.
The central republican committee
meeting held in the office of Herbert
Warner in the Odd Fellows' build
ing decided to put the proposition of
placing a ticket in the field up to the
republican voters of the city. Not
"wishing to take on themselves to dis
band as an organization, in the com
ing mayoralty race, they will hold a
general mass meeting, the place and
time, which is to be within two
weeks, to be arranged by the chair
man, John F. Dellaven.
Orrn Will Not Kim.
William II. Oren was the only man
present who was not an officer either
of the central committee or a pro
cinctman, and he came for the pur
pose of making a jxxsitive statement
that he will not be a candidate for
mayor on a republican ticket. Oren
t-aid that he had not made any prom
ise to enter the race, but that urged
!;.' his friends he had considered it.
The reasons given fur refusing were
that business required his full time
and that he could not very well give
it up. Oren is in the employ of the
J-'outh Fend Chilled Plow works.
When the question as to whether
the republicans should enter the race
singly or affiliate with the citizens'
movement came up. discussions were
heard from both sides, but fearing
that they could not win singly, the
general sentiment drifted toward the
new party. Fearing the criticism
that might develop, they decided that
.all republicans should be invited to
the meeting to be held within the
next two weeks when definite action
Avili take place.
After the mass meeting the central
committee will hold a session and
make the final steps. Several candi
dates are on the verge of announcing
themselves as republican candidates,
according to the committer members
and In justice to them the committee
felt that it should put the proposition
up to the voters.
I'. A. Jojoe Club.
The Fourth Ward Roosters' club,
having for its purpose the further
ance of the candidacy of Patrick A.
Joyce for mayor was organized at
r 1 1 E. Jefferson boulevard. About
100 voters from the various precincts
of the fourth ward were in attend
ance and signed the resolution, pledg
ing themselves to Patrick A. Joyce
for mayor.
Addresses? were made by Charles
Koontz. William Scherman. Gustavo

SITUATION ABOUT
AT NORMAL STAGE
No Further Trouble Expected
at Pittsburgh Although Six
More Companies Are Grant
ed Receivers.
PITTSBURGH. July 10. Conditions
in tlnancial circles at the closing hour
Wednesday had to all appearances
reached normal. The run on the
Pittsburgh Rank for .Savings, which
was started by the closing of the
First-Second National bank on Mon
day, had entirely subsided early in
tlfe afternoon, after a resumption of
the run Wednesday morning had
caused some slight anxiety.
Further developments in the affairs
of the First-Second National were not
looked for until Receiver O. C. Mur
ray has had opportunity to organize
his force necessary in the liquidation
of the institution. It was not expect
ed that depositors would receive any
dividend before the expiration oftwo
months.
The First National bank of Mc
Keesport is expected to reopen within
a week after a reorganization of its
officers and directorate with the
elimination of the Kuhn interests,
which held the majority of the stock
of the First-Second National.
Application was granted by Federal
Judge C. I. Orr Wednesday for re
ceiverships for six subsidiary com
panies of the American Water Works
& Guarantee Co. The companies are
the United Coal and Somerset Smoke
less Coal, the Naomi Coal, the Mer
chants Coal of Pennsylvania, the Isa-bella-Connellsville
Coke, and the
Pittsourgh Si Raltimore Coal Co.
Three receivers were appointed for
each company, with the exception of
the United Coal, for which four will
act. The receiverships are made up
of these men. Samuel A. Gilmore,
James D. O'Neil, Wm. K. Johnson.
Thurston Wright and Robert P. Watt,
each serving for several of the com
panies. The application was made by
louden Hill, whose residence is given
as Maryland, and in the petition for
the Isabella-Connellsville Coke Co.,
Hill is joined by the company itself.
The petitions set forth that receiv
erships are advisable to protect tho
properties and assets of the com
panies on account of debts due.
W. S. Kuhn, who was president of
the First-Second National bank, who
was at the bedside of his wife who Is
ill at Prides Crossing. Mass., when
the crash came Monday, arrived home
Wednesday. He was closeted with
his brother. J. S. Kuhn, all day, and
announcement was made that he
would have no statement to make for
several days.
Rankers on the whole feel that the
tension has been relaxed, and that the
financial situation locally has been
greatly clarified.
PREDICT TROUBLE
FOR TARIFF BILL
Republicans Say if Measure is
Passed Provisions Will be
Tied Up in Courts For Inter
pretation. WASHINGTON. July 29. If the
tariff revision bill becomes a law as
it has been passed upon by the sen
ate democratic caucus, many of its
provisions will be tied up in the courts
for interpretation, in the opinion of
republican senate leaders.
tfen. Smoot, republican member of
the finance committee, declared Wed
nesday that the changes in phraseolo
gy and re-classifications in the bill
are such that it would take four years
of court procedure to settle just what
thoy mean, and that revenues in the
mean time would be held up.
"Importers." said on. Smoot,
"have lawyers ensraged for no other
purpose than to pick out flaws or al
leged flaws of phraseology, and legal
precedents that have been establish
ed in past court decisions will avail
noting in this bill."
The democratic senators, in view
of the failure of the caucus to pass a
stringent binding resolution, are going
to be permitted to vote for amend
ments to the wool and sugar whed
ules Is another claim made Wednes
day by the republicans.
They expressed the belief that
amendments would pass the enate
cutting out free raw wool and free
sugar, but that the house conferes
would insist upon ;ho original pro
visions; that the senate conferes
would yield and that all the democrats
finally would approve the conference
report.
The final draft of the Underwood
Simmons bill wad completed Wednes
day night by majority members of
the finance committee and sent to tho
printer. Chairman Simmons is ex
pected to report it to the senate.

CHARLEY GATES 15
THE BEST EVER
Wife Denies Reports of Dis
agreement With Spendthrift
Son of "Bet You-a-Million"
Gates.
NEW YORK. July 10. "Why.
Charley's the best boy that ever
lived," said Mrs. Charles G. Gates
Thursday at the Plaza hotel,' where
Gates permanently maintains a hand
some suite.
"Charley" is the son of the "Ret
You-a-Million Gates" and is now
known as "give you -a -mill ion Gates."
Charley came here last Saturday at
the rate of 90 miles an hour in a spe
cial train from Minneapolis. The
story was told at the time he and
his father-in-law, Frank Hopwood,
had a little fracas in a Minneapolis
hotel over Gates determination to
give away a million a year in tips.
Charley denied the row when he got
to New York and now comes Mrs.
Charley saying it's all "utter foolish
and malicious gossip."
A rumor came from Minneapolis
Thursday to the effect that Mr. and
Mrs. Gates had had a disagreement.
When asked by the United Press as
to the truth of the story, Mrs. Gates
was highly Indignant.
"Why," she declared, shaking her
head emphatically until the curls
bobbed about. "Charley's the best boy
ever. That Is the worst I ever did
hear. There is ab-so-lutely nothing
in it. Charley left last night to visit
one of our mines in Canada and I'm
going to wait right here for him and
we will all go back to Minneapolis to
gether. Yes, of course. Gates took a
special train to Canada and I suppose
he'li ride back in one.
"But please now. just say that I
denied in whole and in detail every
bit of any stories that have been told
or may be told in the future to the
effect that there has been any ripple
of trouble."

Y. W. C. A. Girls Have Big
Picnic at Diamond Lake
RV MAlUJAltl-TT TORIX.
Picnics are picnics, of course. But
when gir's give a picnic, it is a serious
matter. There is the picturesque ef
fect to be considered. Judged from
that point of view, and it is far the
most important item, the picnic given'
by the Outing and Tennis club of the
Y. W. C. A., Wednesday evening: at
Hudson lake was a success.
It sent the young women shopping
for days because the first consideration
is to be properly dressed. Miss Mary
Lou Foster, the general secretary of
the association, bought herself a
middy blouse because she thought it
would ho so "chic". .She decided,
however, that she was a bit plump for
that style of garment, traded it to
a tall, slim girl, and got in exchange
a red tie. That, with a soft, crinkly
looking waist and a skirt of the. proper
shortness, made a reallv effective cos
tume. Miss Little wore a white pique
skirt that she had been saving for
weeks to have clean for the picnic.
All the other girls wore things equal
ly picturesque and appropriate. Most
of them bought those white ratine
hats for the occasion. Leora Cris
singer brought along a camera though
fche didn't come until G o'clock. A
camera does give just the proper
touch, don't you know.
Alicty Sit Ry the Fire.
There was one of the girls that
wore a picture hat and a real dressy
frock. So through the evening sho
sat gracefully on a rustic bench be
neath a tree and let the firelight play
artistically over her face. She could
go out in a boat, but she didn't dare
row and somebody else toasted her
"weinies".
Speaking of the fire and weinies
bring us to the supper. Ham sand
wiches and something to drink might
do for men but girls have deeper mo
tives. What kind of a picture could
you make with a ham sandwich? A
lire on the beach in the evening is so
romantic and it looks so picturesque
to sit around it and toast bacon on a
stick. It wasn't Kacon, it was weinies
Wednesday evening, but the effect was
the same.
Wood around the lake was a bit
damp Wednesday but a little thing
like that couldn't interfere with the
success of a picnic planned for weeks
before. The kindly janitor at the
association split up a supply of wood
and tied it up neatly in a bushel bas
ket. And the girl carried it bravely
through the streets of South Rend for
the sake of the effect to be attained
at the end.
(Vmimisnry Ahead.
The party went out at 6 o'clock but
Siephenson Most Regular
Tobacco Chewer in Senate
WASHINGTON. July 10. Sen.
"Ike" Stephenson, the "silent man of
the senate", who grows loquacious
only when somebodv will lead him on
to talk about how much he is worth,
is distinguished in another way. He
is noted for the manner in which he
chews tobacco.
There are quite a few compeier.i
tobacco chewers in the senate. Sen.
Nelson of Minnesota chews in a ru
minative, thought';;! manner; Sen.
Overman of North 'arollna chews
thoroughly but irregularly and some
times carelessly. S n. Reed of Mis
souri chews in a . rt of angry and
methodically snapping fashion."
,pn. Stephenson chews rapidly,
eagerly, regularly and continously.
His molars beat a staccato atrait
each other as regularly and about as
fast as the tick of the second hand of
a watch. Of course each senator has
his particular brand of plug and
there is much borrowing and lending
among them. . Sen. . Stephenson has
been known to "lend" out as many as
fifty 'chaws" in one day. He has
never been Known to "borrow"
Smile in Vacation Land
two secretaries and Miss Evelyn Staf
ford went ahead at 4:00 and took out
the weinies, buns and pickles, a sup
ply of long sticks properly sharpened
and the wood. Arriving at the lake
they rowed across to a wood and
gathered a load of ragged, dried
branches. How the crowd did stare
mhen they rowed baik to the other
side! Whinh is v.'hat they were ex
pected to do.
When the others came at six the
lire was built. The girls, those who
were dressed for the part, set to work
with a will and built a pyramid of the
sticks, just like those you see in books.
The supper was a great success. The
lire blazed up with a primitive vigor
that fell right in with the girls'
scheme of things. It was built close
down on the edge of the beach and
there was a background of tall trees.
The setting sun made a lovely glow
on the lake. The girls toasted their
weinies in supreme satisfaction be
cause they knew it all looked just
right. Suppose they did have to shield
their faces from the heat with an
arm? What matters a little thing
like that?
Afterwards they built up the lire
and arranged the seats around it ar
tistically. iSome of the girls went out
on the lake in boats and drifted
around close to the shore. Those
seated around the lire began to sing,
and the picture was complete. The
moon was up by this time and the
firelight was making a nice long re
flection on the water. It was just
perfect. They all said so.
No Roys in Picture.
It was to be a girls' picnic exclu
sively, as the young gallants at the
lake found to their chagrin. When
the girls began to build the fire they
trooped down that way to offer their
advice and assistance and were re
ceived in scornful silence. A stern
look from the secretaries strength
ened the will of any girl who might
have been tempted to yield an ear to
the intruders.
They stayed on until, one by one,
they realized their utter superfluity
and drifted away. After awhile they
came back and stood at a respectful
distance. They lent a hand to beach
a boat or shove one off but they did
it silently. hTe girls deigned not to
notice their presence.
To conclude, the picnic was a great
success. It was one series of inter
esting pictures. Even the boys didn't
spoil it the girls agreed. They looked
so picturesque drooping disconsolately
in the background.
And they all had a perfectly lovely
time.

Nearby Cities Threatened
With Destruction.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jaly Forest
fires are blazing fiercely Wednesday
night on both Mount Tamalkais. a
landmark of California and play
ground and park of all the cities
clustered about San Francisco bay.
Three villages are threatened. The
mountain was cloaked Wednesday
by a mantle of white smoke which
streamed across the bay like a wind
blown scarf, but as darkness fell the
mountain blazed above the bay and
ocean like an enormous beacon,
illuminating the sky for miles.
lach morning since the blaze
started, it has seemed that danger
was passed but each afternoon th(
trade wind blustering in from the Pa
cific has whipped the flames into life
and driven them across Canyons and
trenches laboriously cit, through un
derbrush and into fresh timber on the
far side of areas burned bare by
back nres.
The fires are believed to, have re
sulted from carelessness of campers.
Three thousand soldiers. sailors,
naval apprentices. forest rangers,
militiamen and volunteer fire fighters
are fighting the flames, and the wo
men in the threatened territory are
working as hard as the men.
Shops are closed and business is a
standstill throughout the threatened
section.
