Through Magnificent Twirling of Ruelbach Sox Use up Two Pitchers in Vain Attempt to Hold Their Prestige.

The weather 1m nnrmlui;' up, and the Indications at 1 o'clock aire that there . niU.be u ftreater crowd at the South Side KcauotlK when the nrrond game in the National Championship series ia played this afternoon. A frosty mornins gave iI ace to a sunny forenoon, and as the temperature coutiuued to rise the spirits of the fans took to soaring;. The weather man was pessimistic. He predicted heavy overeo.-its, aud now it appears that light wraps will suttiee. Yesterday's defeat was a stunner to the cork-sure rooters for the Spuds, and the betting, front Jt to 1, has dropped tu even money, with I rim tie efforts to hedge, even at that price. Luck cut no 11 lire in yesterday's game. The Sox won it on their merits. President Comikey whs pleased to regard it ns the sample of baseball his uieu would put up during; the balance of the series. The couaensiis of opinion, hosed on yesterday's uauie, is that in all-around baseball the Sox are the equal of the t'uhs. The fart that the Sox wixi the first game on the ground f the opposition lias strengthened the hopes of the South Side fans. Those who came from a distance to witness the greatest struggle in the history of the national gnnie are ulugglug for the Cubs, inasmuch as their phenomenal record bus led Ibem to suppose that there is nothing else la busebnll. It Is now conceded by the National League magnates, who are in attendance, that for liull-ilnK courage Comiskcy's iiieu hold soieietuing over the Cubs, although they may not compare iu the matter of individual brilliancy with the W est Side bunch .

In a short interductoiy address last night before the tuberculosis section of the stte conference of charities and corrections. Attorney General Charles W. Miller, who presided over this section, declared that tuberculosis costs the people of the stat. of Indiana $10,000,000 annually. Tuberculosis causes 2,000 000 deaths annually." declared the speaker. "150,000 deaths in our own country; almost 4,500 deaths in our own state. "There is no other disease or calam ity that entails so much suffering-, no other disease or calamity that causes so much loss to the commonwealth, as tuberculosis. We see in the state and in the nation, and throughout the world a ghastly procession of men and women marching steadily to the grave. "It is a fact not generally understood, but nevertheless true, that tonsumption has claimed more victims in a single year in this nation since the Russian-Japanese war. where many bloody battles were fought. where many fields were covered with the dead and dying, than died from shot and shell, disaster and illness in both of those great contending armies. "Consumption costs the state of Indiana rot less than 510.000.000 annually. Indiana is behind in this great work. Consumption is preventable; it is curable; it makes over 500 widows md over three hundred widowers annually; makes over 12,000 oxphans ur.oer twelve years ot age every year; brings loss, sorrow and anguish to over C.000 homes annually in the state."

Frank Ramsey ot this city has made a discovery that will interest chicken fanciers and arouse the envy of some writers of snake stories. It is to the effect that game chickens can be taught to catch mice, and that when one of a brood once acquires thi knowledge, all the others readily take it up. Mr. Ramsey says that no mice can live around premises when game chickens have once learned to kill and devour them. He is the owner of a game rooster that has taught mice-killing to a brood of about fifty game chickens. Where the rooster acquired this knowledge Mr. Ramsey says he does not know. He was first apprised of it by finding tlie rooster almost choked to death as the result of trying to swallow a mouse that was too large for lti. threat.

I ADM OF LAW Officials With Warrants Seeking Peace Disturbers, Despoiled of Equipage. ROBBED BY MEN SOUGHTf Aetna Men Divine Object of Pur suers and Steal March on i Would-Ee Captors. i Four ofnei: arnosd with warrants In search cf thirteen men at Aetna whom they want on the charge of assault and battery In connection with a Tolleston row of last Sunday, had their surrey practically stolen from under them by thi rery men they were seeking. The four men in the buggy wei e : Harty Purge, constable, of Ham mond. William Kunert, trustee, Tolleston. Fred Harms, town marshal, Toilerton. Charles Greenwaid. deputy piosecutIng attorney, Whiting. To get the story right one must hear each one of these men alone, and then find the average by an arithmetical process. The news was flashed across the county last night about 0 o'clock that a fine span of horses belonging to Otto Borman at Tolleston had been stolen while the team was standing in front of a saloon in Miller Station. The local police, like the other officials over the county were notified this morning that a further search for the missing team and surrey is useless as both had been located and that It was a runaway instead of a horse stealing Law Breaker are Jokera. The surrey, it was said, was found by the roadway and the two horses were near by. It was, however, neither a runaway nor a robbery but merely a practical joke played upon the Sher lock Holmeses by the very men of whom they were in search. Their mis sion had become known in Aetna the minute they arrived there and immediately thirteen men disappeared who were wanted on assault and battery charges. Having found the coop empty the four turned their horses homeward which for them was Tolleston. Coming into Miller Station someone suggested that they stop there "to have one." All four of course were of the same opinion only tlie speaker beat the others to it in making the proposition. The team was hitched to a post and the four stepped into the Miller Station wet goods emporium and warmed up. In the meantime a number of assault and battery men came up and proceeded to get in their smooth work. Taking the team they drove back towards Aetna. They decided that a slough near the powder mills would be a good place to anchor the surrey. Stepping out they opened the hame straps on the harness leaving it fastened to the surrey and turned the horses lose. Early this morning the vehicle was found in the slough and the team in an Aetna livery barn. In the meantime the constabulary of an entire county had lain awake last night watching for the stolen team of horses of which they had a good de scription. The Hammond police too were given special instructions although it was expected that the sup posed thieves route lay through Chicago Heights. The team in question belongs to the Kunert & Conrad livery barn. PASS HOLDER WINS SUIT. Chicago, Oct. 9. That a railroad company Is not immune from liability for damages to a person who is riding on a pass has been declared by the appellate court. The decision was given in a suit brought by George B.

" SAKS BEORBE LEW East Chicago Attorney Throws Down Gauntlet Before Van Home. CREATES h SENSATION Lawyer Fights Shy of Giving Evidence Before Council Meeting ta Discuss Charges. Alderman Lewis of East Chlcagt creuted a sensation at the regular meet ing of the council when he stated that Attorney Van Home had made the rfmark to a mutual friend that there was enough evidence of bribery againsO both OGirr and himself to send them to the penitentiary. Lewis dramatically demanded thai the charges be proven and requestcul the council to appoint a committee to receive all of the evidence and clear him of the stigma that the continual talk of bribery had put on his name. Pointing to Van Home, who was iri the room, he said: "That is the man. 1 demand that he prove his assertions. If he doesn't. Van Homo and I to it." After the crowd had recovered from their surpise they seemed to take tho matter as a joke and there was a roar of laughter when one of the aldermen moved that the matter be referred to the law and order committee and it was found that this committee was composed o Aldermen O'Girr, Shock and Lewis. Questions Conncll's Authority. Van Home, after hastily taking council with some of his friends, stated to a reporter for Tun Lake Cocntt TiMjEii, that the council or a eommltteo of the council with the city clerk presiding; dkl not hnvp the authority to compell witnesses to testify against their will and that he would simply re fuse to make any statements in regard to the matter. Van Home does not deny that hs said there was enough evidx-nce against Lewis to send him over the road, but he does deny that he accused Lewis of accepting bribes. The council members voted to hold a special meeting to discuss the matter at 7:30 next Monday and unless some of the other aldermen, who might be drawn into the matter in spite of themselves, succeed in smoothing matters over before next Monday, there is likely to be a warm session. The sensation in the council chamber is the one topic of conversation among the people of East Chicago and Indiana Harbor. Tlie meeting next Monday i full of possibilities and it is a matter of conjecture as to where the matter will end. It is rumored that several members of the business men's association have enough evidence against certain aldermen to convict them and send them to the penitentiary. They will not take this action as long as thf-se aldermen are good, but if they kick out of "he harness and defy thos who are manding good government, there is sure to be trouble. This fact was proven when certain council members framed up a list of committees which t.'iey intended to recommend to the mayor and they wers compelled to back down and accede to the demands of the Harborltes that Shock and Walton be placed on the streets and alleys committee becausa these representatives from the Har bor could better safeguard the interests of the taxpayers upon whom tho burden of JlOO.OOo worth of street im provements is to be laid. Will Demand Extra Representation. It is generally believed that the peo ple of tlie Harbor will soon demand that their city be divided into at least two more wards and that they have an equal representation in the city coun cil. At present there ere but two aldermen representing the Harbor while East Chicago has four. It is for this reason that the business men would rather have two reliable aldermen and one submissive one to offset the three others, than to se cure the conviction of one of the al dermen and then run the risk of selecting the proper man for his successor. This all has a bearing on tlie recent sensation in the council meeting for th reason that if Lewis forces the mattel to an issue, even though his skirts b clean, damaging evidence might de. veiop against other city officials that would complicate matters, to say th least. For this reason the outcome of the at tempt at an investigation is bein awaited, almost breathlessly, by the people of both East Chicago and Indiana Harbor and there may be an upheaval of such magnitude over there that there is no telling where it will end.
