Tom Eigelsbach Violates Neutrality—Not Prosecuted.

Thos. H. Eigelsbach, of Chicago, son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Eigelsbach, of this city, admits that he occasionally is guilty of violating neutrality, but he has had no trouble with the federal courts and does not expect any. The violation occurs twice each week, the days that The Semi-Weekly Republican arrives. He says the violation consists of pushing aside the big Chicago dailies and devouring with deep interest the happenings about his old home. Tom says that he is not very neutral on the subject of Sunday baseball, either. He’s for it. He says: “Idle hands are the devil’s chosen tools,” and as baseball is a good clean sport, I think it would be a great mistake for Indiana to stop it. I fail to see the benefit that would result.” A money order for a dollar and a half was enclosed and Tom is thus assured of the old home paper for another year.
