and all expressed the highest praise of the splendid offering. Hon. Edward P. Honan, Rensselaer’s expert toastmaster, was m charge of the program and was at his best, and his remarks in introducing the speakers of the evening were witty and gave life and spirit to the evening’s enjoyment. Attorney A. D. Babcock was the first speaker of the evening and he gave a very interesting reminiscence. He lived in Rensselaer at the time of the breaking out of the Civil War and told ‘of the patriotism of the community and its great leader, General Milroy. Mr. Babcock was a lad of nine years at-that time and he has a vivid recollection of many of the happenings of those strenuous days. His story of Grandfather McCurtain and his determination to serve in the army, though very old at the -time, could not have been more interesting had it been fiction. Attorney Terrence B. Cunningham’s toast, “My Experience as a Candidate,” was enjoyed by all. Attorney Michael Wagner read a poem, which we wish space would permit us to give. Mr. Wagner read the classic in a most dramatic manner and claims that he had written it upon the spur of the moment, but in his intense interest in giving the production he omitted the last line which read, A. D. Babcock, 1913. Senator Halleck presented to Judge Hanley a most elegant gold watch and chain, the gift of the bar from his circuit. The Senator’s remarks expressed the love and esteem in which the retiring judge is held. Judge Hanley, deeply moved, replied to Senator Halleck and expressed his hearty appreciation for the present and also the splendid treatment he had received during his eighteen years as judge of this circuit. He gave many instances of interesting and amusing cases which had come before him. Attorney Frank Davis, in a neat toast, presented the following resolution which was unanimously adopted: After eighteen years of continuous service as a judicial officer ana after a like number of years of dose association and harmonious relations between the bench and the bar of the 80th judicial circuit of Indiana, it having pleased the judge of the courts in said district to voluntarily retire from office, it seems but fitting and proper that the bar express the appreciation of the service rendered and extend its thanks to Judge Charles W. Hanley retiring from his continuous and untiring efforts to mete out equal and exact justice, and to at all times extend every courtesy and accommodation to members of the bar, consistant with justice to litigants. Believing that it is the unanimous opinion of the bar that every ruling, every finding handed down by the Court was free from every influence other than a best judgment and a dear conscience, we heartily welcome the return of Judge Charms W. Hanley to membership in the ranks of practicing attorneys, believing that his record as judge of the district will add dignity to the bar as it added honor to the bench. THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, By the bar association of Jasper and Newton counties, in view of the foregoing sentiment, tbat we express our deep appreciation of the services rendered by Judge Charles W. Hanley in his eighteen years as judge of the Thirtieth Judicial DisBe it further resolved, that these resolutions be spread upon the order books of Newton and Jasper counties and made a part of the nermanent record of said courts.

and assured the new judge that he would have the hearty of the members of the bar. At torney Leopold, as well as most of the others on the program, indulged in reminiscence, he gave an incident where a very religious woman informed the P®urt ttat Jtesus Chrut was on her side, but that her was won by a Jew Attorney. it other case was where he had a client in court twice in a year seeking a divorce, a different husband in each case. The grounds for the divorce in both instances Physical defect of the husbands. Strange as it may seem the complaint in the second was directly opposite of that in the first. Judge Hanley Refused the woman a divorce in the second trial, saying it would be difficult to have husbands made to order physicially. Judge George Gifford of Tipton, was called upon and gave a very interesting toast, of which he spoke of Judge Hanley and his court in the very highest terms. All persons on the programme expressed deep regret that Judge Hanley had retired from the position in which he had given so many years of splendid service, but all expressed their confidence m our new judge, George A. Williams. A resolution was passed at the close of the meeting to hold a banquet annually and the following committee was appointed to have the matter in charge, Attorneys John A. Dunlap, Abraham Halleck, T. B. Cunningham, Frank Davis and Milton Greaves.

FEVERISH FODDER FOR FRESH FOOTBALL FANATICS

today’s prize offering: One of the “Kentland” players asked Hale Grant the way to the Kentland ball park Sunday. —o>— There are many aches, pains and bruises that must be disposed of between now and Thursday afternoon. The men were pretty badly bruised up in the Kentland game, but Coach Parker hopes to have his lineup intact by Thanksgiving. —o — ‘ Babcock’s injury does not seem to be as bad as first thought and it is proble that he will be able to start the game Thursday. The blood vessel in his right arm, which was broken earlier in the season, was not injured in the Kentland game, although he received a severe kick on the arm. The wonderful showing of Phillips at end during the brief time he was in the game has probably earned for him one of the wing positions, although the coach may elect to use him in the backfield. He is of the shifty, speedy type and will be a welcome addition to the lineup. i Manager Ross received a letter from the Michigan City management Tuesday morning stating that their team was in splendid condition for the coming fray and that they expected to close their season with a victory here. The upstate aggregation has not been defeated this year. ■ "ft" ■ The Indianapolis A. C., defeated here earlier in the season, claim I the right to meet the Gary Elks for the state title by virtue of victories over strong downstate teams. Wonder how they are going to get around the Renseslaer defeat —&— Frankfort lost to Kirklin Sunday, a team that was defeated earlier in - the season by Logansport. Logansport was defeated by Rensselaer, which fact boosts Rensselaer up the football ladder. Three Moroccoans and seven Valparaiso players made up the “Kentl&nd” to bib ■ The Rensselaer line was a sweet thing to look upon. During the first half Kentland failed to make a single first down. Robinson especially featured, but was not alone in his brilliancy for Thompson and Simons and Putts all shone with great splendor.

B Babcock The undefeated Michigan City American Legion football team will oppose Renselaer Thanksgiving, “home coming” day, in the season’s final offering in Rensselaer football circles and the fans are eagerly looking forward to the fray, as the outcome will have an important bearing on the respective claims of the teams to the independent title of northern Indiana. But one tekm will stand in the way to contest the claim, of the winning team—the Gary Elks, another undefeated team, in independent circles. The Elks are laying a strong claim to the state title and it is more than probable that the winner of tomorrow’s game at Riverside will meet the Steel City club in a post-season game to decide the championship. Michigan City is said to possess a great amount of bulk, averaging 180 pounds per man against Rensselaet’s 170 pounds, which means that the pupils of Coach Parker will have to depend upon their speed and overhead play for their gains rather than line smashing. The local squad is in fair condition after their hard game at Kentland last Sunday and with the possible exception of Moore will be prepared to present the same lineup that started against Kentland.

Walter Bledsoe & Co,, a coal mine operating company of Terre Haute, sold 74 per cent of the total output of the mines of the company in Indiana during the last week, according to a report filed today with Jesse E. Eschbach, chairman of the fuel and food commission. , The total production of the mines of the company was 38,925 tons, of which 28,049 tons were shipped to' points in Indiana and 10,876 tons were sent outside. The total number of tons of railroad coal sent to Indiana points by the company was 9,461, leaving a total tonnage of 18,588 tons sold in the state by the company for other than railroad use. Under the orders of the commission the company was re?uired only to produce 7,450 tons or domestic consumption in the state. Quota Doubled. The fact that the company more than doubled its quota of coal for consumption in the state was emphasized by Mr. Eschbach in calling attention to the report. ’ Mr. Eschbach said that lie was) much pleased with co-operation being given the commission by the Bledsoe company. The following list shows (first) the name of the mine of the Bledsoe company, (second) the number of tons ordered by the commission for state consumption, and (third) the number of tons shipped in Indiana by the mine last week: Fayette, 2,000 tons, 3,184 tons; Bon Ayr, 500 tons, 2,883 tons; Glen Ayr, 1,100 tons, 900 tons; Clovelly, 1,250 tons, 1,404 tons; Hamilton, 1,200 tons, 1,746 tons; Antioch, 1,000 tons, 4,085 tons; Spring Valley, 100 tons, 721 tons, and Miners City, 50 tons, 45 tons. The Green Valley mine of the company shipped 3,630 tons in the state. The Peoples’ mine, with a quota of fifty tons, was not operat»ed during the week. Exceeds State Quota. The Bledsoe company has also exceeded the quota of coal for Indiana use ordered by the commission in other weeks. In the report covering the week ending Nov. 6, it is shown that the mines of the company produced 16,281 tons of coal for Indiana use, the quota being 7,450 tons. During the week ending Oct. 30, the company sent 13,535 tons of coal to Indiana points, with the same quota as for other weeks. Mr. Eschbach said that a number of the mine operating companies of the state are co-operating with the commission in every way in order to take care of the domestic needs of Indiana. He pointed out that these companies are not only producing the required amount of coal for state -use at the commission prices, but are, in many cases*, exceeding the quota fixed by the commission. Jay W. Stockton of this city received a car of coal from the Bledsoe Coal Co. The coal was fine quality and the price was very reasonable. .
