Tugs Put Out to Meet Bremen But U-Liner Is Not In.

New London, Conn., Sept. 17. —The ocean going tug T. A. Scott, Jr., with persons on board supposed to be representatives of the Eastern Forwarding company, tonight put to sea, presumably in search of the German submarine merchantman Bremen, which was reported off the coast heading for this port. The Scott was followed by tugs bearing newspaper men. One of the newspaper tugs returned here just before midnight and reported that no submarine had been sighted. The tug T. A. Scott, Jr., was reported to be on its way back also.

It was further alleged that he was an able bodied man, earning $1.60 a day.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA. MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1916.

DR. JOHNSON HOME ON 24-HOUR FURLOUGH

Has Lost Forty Pounds Since Going To Border Some Months Ag<X But is Feeling Fine Now. Dr. C. E. Johnson, who left with the Rensselaer company last June for Mexico as a member of the medical corps, arrived in Rensselaer Saturday evening on a 24-hour furlough. Dr. Johnson accompaniA Battery B, of Purdue, which was recently discharged from the service, back to Indianapolis, and obtained permission tp come to Rensselaer for a day. There is a military order which makes it imperative for a physician in the service to accompany all troops that are discharged, and Dr. Johnson was detailed’ to accompany Battery B. The men are all forced to undergo* a physical inspection before they are discharged, and those who are not in good physical health aer not discharged from the service until well. This is done in order that the government will be protected, relieving them from all responsibility of the future, if the men are physically fit when discharged. Dr. Johnson left Sunday afternoon for New Orleans, La., where he is to inspect the Louisiana troops, which are being discharged from the federal service. Following the inspection New Orleans, Dr. Johnson will returii to the camp at Llano Grande. When Dr. Johnson left Rensselaer he weighed 211 pounds, and now weighs about 170, a loss of 41 pounds. The suit of clothes he had on Sunday morning looked as if it had been originally made for Jess Willard. The doctor, however, stated that he was feeling fine, and felt no ill effects from the loss of weight. Many of the other members of the guard have lost weight, Major Healey being an exception, he having gained 20 pounds since being on duty. Dr. Johnson also stated that it was the general belief of the soldiers that they would be ordered back north within the next three or four weeks. Rumors tothis effect refuse to down and this is the chief topic of conversation among the soldiers. Practically every commissioned officer of the guard has been offered a position in the regular army, but so far very few of them have accepted.

REPUBLICAN RALLY SEPTEMBER 27TH

All Day Rally Will Be Held at McCray’s Cabin Woods—Many Speakers Present. Many inquiries have come in the past few days relative to the date of the republican rally to be held at McCray’s cabin woods near Kentland. The date is Wednesday, Sept. 27th, and will be an all day affair. McCray’s cabin woods are three miles north and two miles east of Kentland. The program includes a big basket picnic dinner, plenty of music and speaking. The speaking will start at 10 a. m. It is planned to make this one of the best republican rallys ever held in Indiana, and everyone -acquainted with Mr. McCray Imows that nothing will be left undone to make the day one of great enjoyment to the visitors. Everybody is invited to attend the rally on this day and bring along a lot of republican enthusiasm. The speakers for the day are among the best that could be secured and all are men with nation-wide reputations. The speakers of the day will be Senator Warren G. Harding, of Ohio, Hon. James E. Watson, republican nominee from Indiana for United States senator; Hon. Charles Warren Fairbanks, republican nominee for vice president of the United States; Hon. Harry C. New, of Indiana, candidate for U. S. senator from Indiana; Hon. Horace Stillwell, and Hon. Edward C. Toner. All other state candidates will be present on this day also. The committee feels that the men selected are among the best that could be secured and visitors are assured of hearing national issues discussed by men thoroughly qualified to talk on their subjects. Politics throughout the state is waxing warmer every day and the campaign this fall is expected to be one of the hottest waxed in recent years. Many Rensselaer people have signified their intentions of attending the rally on the 27th, and it is expected that I 'the rally on this day will be the largest held so far this .year. It is probable that the Rensselaer band will also be asked to furnish music on this day.

Thief Executes Clever Ruse On Roselawn Agent.

Chicago Tribune. “Splendid!” exclaimed John Baker, Monon station agent at Roselawn, Ind., near Hammond. “And so unexpected, too.” Baker had just been informed that he was to have a ten day&’ vacation with pay. The relief man, well dressed and equipped with satisfactory credentials, notified Baker of his vacation and was right on the spot to take charge. So Baker left. It was a busy day. The new man sold many tickets and collected heavy freight bills. All told he took in about SSOO before night. Then he went to Water Valley, hired an automobile and came to Chicago. Monon detectives are looking for him. Monon officials say they had not planned to give Baker a vacation.

Game at Chicago Sunday Attracted Largest Crowd.

The game between Comiskey’s White Sox of Chicago and the Boston Red Sox Sunday in Chicago attracted the largest crowd that ever witnessed a game of baseball in the city of Chicago. But one game ever played in the major leagues since the advent of the game ever surpassed it. A world’s series game between Boston and Philadelphia at Boston in 1914 attracted something over 41,000 people. The game at Chicago Sunday brought out over 40,000 fans. The closeness of the American League race this year was the reason for the large gathering yesterday. Detroit in thp lead has but a few points advantage over Chicago dnd Boston and the three teams are virtually tied or the lead with the end of the season less than two weeks away.* Boston won from the Sox 6 to 2, while Detroit was defeating Philadelphia 6 to 5 in ten innings. Boston plays Chicago again today while Detroit is again playing the tail end Athletics. Boston moves to Tigertown Tuesday, while Philadelphia moves to Chicago, thus giving the White Hose the better of the schedule for the next three days. The standing of the three teams today is: W L Detroit 83 60 Boston 80 59 Chicago .....81 61 Girls, have you seen the new belted sweaters at Hilliard & Hamill’s? kou have a treat in store for you. Colors gold, rose, purple, Copenhagen, scarlet, white, $5, $6, SB.— Hilliajd & Hamill.

CHICKEN THIEVES ARE ACTIVE AGAIN

Took About Two Hundred Fries At M. P. Warner’s Saturday Night —Recovered One Hundred. M. P. Warner was again the victim of chfcken thieves Saturday night to the extent of about two hundred spring chickens. Mr. Warner in the past several years has suffered considerable loss due to thieves, and as a result has lost considerable money. Mr. and Mrs. Warner raised in the neighborhood of five hundred chickens this spring and were preparing them for market. The chickens were all penned up. Only 24 springs were left, besides the old hens, which the thieves did not take. Following the discovery of the theft Sunday morning Mr. Warner and James Warner, shotguns in hand, started on the trail, which led them east through a cornfield, where about one hundred of the chickens were found, the thieves evidently having taken more than they could handle. James followed the trail as far as the old match factory, where it was lost, the robbers probably having used a handcar in making their getaway. The chickens taken averaged about four pounds each, and with” chickens worth about 22c a pound Mr. Warner’s loss was about SBB. Rensselaer is visited once or twice a year by these contemptible sort of thieves and it seems as if some concentrated effort should be put forth to protect poultry raisers' from the gangs which infest the county, and everyone owning chickens should be on the lookout henceforth. , It is probable that the chickens are taken to some neighboring towns, where they are disposed of.
