REMAINS AT LAST FIND DECBIT BURIAL Indiana Harbor Man Buried by Gary and Hammond Brothers.

LAWBENCE KILLQRA INTERRED Gary Boilermakers Wax Indignant at What They Call an Outrage. Lawrence Kllloran, who was killed a week ago today by a Lake Shore train In Indiana Harbor, has found a decent burial at last. Incidentally there Is quite a little group of Incensed boilermakers in Gary and Hammond, who resent what they regard as gross negligence on the part of Local No. 1, with headquarters in Chicago, In falling to provide for the Interment. The expenses of the funeral are to be borne by members of the Gary lodge of boilermakers who have promised to raise $25, and by Hammond boilermakers together with what a few members of the Chicago organization have agreed to do in their Individual capacity, the balance of the expense, totaling $86 to be borne by Undertaker Teal, who was given charge of the body after Killoran was killed. Interment was at Oak Hill and the funeral was held from Teal's undertaking rooms at the Harbor this noon. Mr. Teal declares that he wired John H. Simmons, the financial secretary of Local No. 1, of which Killoran was a member In good standing, asking what the union was going to do in the matter, but that although his despatch included instructions to reply C. O. D., the official evidently had not even thought the matter worth a reply, as none had been received. One of the Gary boilermakers who agreed to contribute toward the burial remarked that at that rate, the members of the boilermaker's union might as well throw their cards in the lake, if they would not even insura them decent burial. There is some talk of carrying the matter to the state organization of which Local No. 1 is a branch. CELEBRATE PASSOVER Local Jews Begin Today the ' Observance of Great Feast. Indiana Harbor, Hammond and East Chicago Jews began this noon the celebration of what is commonly known as the Jewish Easter, but which is also called the feast of the Passover. The observance of this period is general among Jews the world over and continues for seven days. During this time all ordinary bread is dispensed with, the unleavened variety being used entirely. Matzos is used to a large extent in the place of common bread. This evening there will be services in the synagogue in East Chicago, following which there will be feasting in every Jewish home in the city, or at least the members of all Jewish families will participate, for In many instances two or more families will unite in observing the great occasion. . The feast tonight is known as Sedar and on every table will be found some sort of bitter herb which must be partaken of by every man, woman and child who sits down to the festive board. This is to remaind the revelers of the bitter history of the Jews. During the progress of the meal the head of the family is required to read a history of the life of the Jewish race during the time they abode in Egypt, the persecutions they endured there at the hands of the Pharoahs until they were finally led forth by Moses. Into this history, which Is called Hagoda, enters the leading tribes of Judah over the Red Sea. Following the reading the younger members of the family are supposed to ask whatever questions concerning the history that occur to them, these to be fully answered by the reader. Tomorrow there will be another feast and the balance of the week will bo characterized by prayers and religious services In every home. HERE'S A CHANCE, GARY. So. Chicago Crack Shots Issue Informal Challenge to Steel City Police. If the Gary police force really want to meet any police force in a championship revolver shoot, let them get into communication with the South Chicago force or just address their letters to "Dead Shot" John O'Callahan, or "Sammy" Smith, care of the Fifteenth precinct station. Eighty-ninth street and Exchange avenue. The local crack shots headed by Smith and O'Callahan are more than anxious to meet the Gary aggregation and are positive they can show them the finer points of the shooting game. In the meantime Smith and O'Callahan are practicing daily and yesterday in practice Smith took the bull's eye three times in succession.

FURNACE GO. RESUMES

Construction Department of Federal Plant Will Reopen Next Week. After a six month's shut down as the result of the recent panic, the Federal Furnace company. One Hundred and Eighth street and the Calumet river, will reopen their construction department the last of next week. This is the substance of a statement made yesterday by J. Hubbard, the superintendent of the mill. ' At the time of the Federal Furnace shutdown .over four hundred men .were employed, but this number wilf not be taken on when the works partially open up next week. When asked how many men would be take'n on next week Supt. Hubbard said that he did not think more than fifty at the most would be put to work, as this number can easily look after the construction work. However, the superintendent said that later on the entire force would be taken back, beyond a doubt. The news that the Federal Furnace company would In a measure resume operations is being received gladly on all sides in South Chicago, as it is believed to be'a sign that other mills now temporarily closed will follow the Federal's footsteps. MEKCUKY TOUCHES 75 DEGREES. Rapid Advance Brings Hammond Warmest Day of the Season. "With a raise of 28 degrees in thirteen hours, the mercury yesterday advanced to 75 degrees at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, bringing the warmest day of the season. The advance was from 47 degrees at 2 o'clock in the morning. Generally warm weather prevailed over the entire country. Roundup Column The good old baseball season has swung around once more. Now the "nature fakirs," the hardened bank despoilers, the Venezuela trouble, Emperor "William of Germany and other topics that have occupied our minds tne past winter can take seats far In the background. They concern us not even a little. . Important subjects need attention. They are as follows! What teams look like pennant win ners? Is Christy Mathewson's arm in good shape? Will Captain Frank Chance's foof bother him again? Is Ty Cobb's batting eye as good as it was last season? Will Captain Harry Lumley's leg be able to stand the strain this season? Can Clark Griffith land the American league pennant? Will Hans Wagner change his mind and get back into the game? These and other weighty questions; .must be considered and settled before -all else. Rube Waddell, who has received more advertising than any other ballplayer since Mike Kelly and Arlie Latham, is gifted with an acute sense of humor, as any of his ball plaiyng companions can testify. The Clever George Edward is atfellow of many parts, and no one can be found who would be willing to testify on oath that the big Rube is not eccentric. The speedy pitcher is also witty in his eccentricity. As a gay cutup the big St. Louis twirler has no peer. He stands alone in a class. Last August, when the Athletics were playing in Washington, during, their practice time George Edward Waddell, then a member of the Athletics, was engaged in carying on his monkeyshines, much to the delight of the spectators, when Dr. Mike Powers half laughingly asked Rube: "What the dickens makes you so foolish, Ed?" "I don't know," replied Waddell, except it came about through my father making me sleep under a crazy quilt when I was a boy." The Americans of the City of Mexico have formed themselves into what they call a golf bund. Bund (patent pending) is a good one. It can be used as a substitute for guild, bunch, cult, scream, mob, smear and clique. Now that the glad rag season is on our athletes in their many ramifications are studying the form charts in quest of striking tints and modish designs. A very neat person is seen in the person of Joe Gans, champion pugilist, hotel proprietor, etc. Gans has a leaning toward ponderous tints. He affects large carmine checks, plain bluish green shirts and mouse colored spats. On many occasions Mr. Gans had had trouble with the Society for the Prevention of Unnecessary Noises because of his biddy garments. WILLIE WEST. Briefs. Add the Richmond (Va.) team to the minors who made the big league ball teams look like plugged money in the spring exhibition games. The new international baseball league is made up of Hamilton, Guelph, and London, Ontario, and Niagara Falls, N. Y.. Charles ("Spider") Baum, manager of the Fresno club in the California league, was formerly an expert telegraph operator. . Frank Chance, Kling, Evers and the other Chicago champions are of the opinion that Clark Griffith has a real ball team in New York this season. The manager of the Gulfport team in the Cotton States league must have picked his players to correspond with the name of the town. The Gulfport lineup reads: Gilkes, Gettinger, Gunn and Graf fins. O, gee! Both of the Boston ball clubs are preparing for a rush of business this season. New bleachers have been erected at the National league grounds and more fifty-cent seats have been added to the outfit at the American league park.

After handing the reds a staggering lead of five runs before a man was out in the opening game of the National League season here today, the world's champions just simply tore the heartstrings out of 19,257 people by overcoming that awful handicap and dashing under the wire a winner by the score of 6 to 5. The crowd, which was by far the largest ever at a ball game here, was sent into spasms of unexpected delight by the astonishing start the reds made in the first inning. The Cubs were swept off their feet before the game was fairly under way. Four hits off Orvle Overall and errors by Kling, Overall and Slagle seemed positively to decide the whole argument right there. Five runs in and a red-shinned warrior was roosting on first. OF COUESE IT WAS THE SOX. Twenty thousand human beings crowded into the American League ball park to witness the opening contest of the season between the Detroit champions and the Chicago White Sox. They saw a slaughter of the heroes of 1907 and cheered the rejuvenation of the old white limbed world's champ

It was the turn of the Detroit tigers to make a low, sweeping championship bow to the greeting cheers of their envious Chicago friends. It was a grand, delsartean effort, but top-heavy with their load of last season's honors, those togers bowed too low and stumbled over themselves. Before they could regain their feet they had been trampled on and the Jingle-like rallying cry of Hugh Jennings, the facous ,-Ee-Yah," was drowned in the din of Chicago's rejoicing. FANS WATCH OPENING OF MINOR SEASON TODAY. Indianapolis, Ind., April 14. Indianapolis fans are looking forward with a great deal of interest to the opening of the basegall season here tomorrow, but from present Indications there will be general disappointment. It is raining steadily, with a prospects of the rain-fall continuing throughout the night. A parade has been arranged and Mayor Bookwalter is expected to pitch the first ball. NELSON SIGNS FOR LONG GO. San Francisco, April 14. Batling Nelson, entirely undisturbed by Jack Gleason's threat to sue him for breach of contract, signed articles today, in whoch he agreed to box Rudolph Un-

holz forty-five rounds May 16. Jimmy Crofforth secured Nelson's signature to the articles. Nelson recently made an agreement to fight Joe Gans before Gleason's club in a twenty-round go. Gleason is endeavoring to attach the forfeit Nelson put up. Followers of the game here are inclined to think that the longer route favors Unholzl - FIRST AT ADQEDUCT. New York, April 14. The Metropolitan racing season will open at the Aqueduct track tomorrow afternoon. If the weather remains favorable a great crowd pobably will be present. It is said tonight there will be no change in the method of conducting speculation. The Jockey club, it is understood, after much deliberation, decided that changes in the betting system, which has been pronounced legal by the Court of Appeals, would be unwarranted, inasmuch as the public had placed its stamp of approval upon it, But other reforms will go into effect tomorrow, particularly a crusade against plunging. TABOO WINS THE CUP RACE. Washington, D. C. April 14. The spring meeting of the Washington Jocky club at Bennings closes today.

The Captain of the Kansas. I

3 By LOUIS TRACY, Author of "The Wins of the Morniui" 4 "The Pillar of Liht.-Etc. j Copyright, 1906, by Edward J. Clode. She walked aft to obtain a nearer view of the operations. The sailors had already shut in a large portion of the promenade deck with canvas, and she noticed that loopholes were provided every ten feet or so to permit the . effective use of the defenders' firearms. Thus at each step she was reminded of the precarious hold she had on life, and she was positively frightened when some mad Impulse Barged through her whole being, bidding her imperiously to abandon her ultra conscientious loyalty to a woman she had never seen. Why struggle against circumstance? If death were so near. what did she gain by prudery? For an instant she stood aghast at the revelation which had come to her. She was in love with Courtenay. She was ready to die by his side, fearless and Joyous, if only he would put his arms around her and tell her that she was dear to him. Ah, the fierce delight of that first silent surrender! Her heart beat as it had never pulsed before, even under the stress of the 6torm or the sudden terror of tha night attack. Her eyes shone, and. her breath came laboriously between parted Hps. Golden dreams coursed through her brain. She was thrilled with an unutterable longing. ... Then her swimming eyes rested on a group of men standing on the poop. Among tbem was Christobal, interested, like the rest, in the floating of th mine. And forthwith Elsie fell from the clouds and was brought back, shuddering, to cold reason again. She was sick at heart She hated hersell for her self abasement. She must gird her with sackcloth and mourn, and the fight must be fought now without parley or hesitation unless the sweetness were to go forth from life forever and all things turn to ashes In her mouth. So, marshaling the best qualities of her womanhood, she quelled the turmoil in her breast, forced herself to join the men on the after deck and said when the smiling Spaniard turned to receive her: "Where do they mean to put the see ond contrivance?" "About there," he said, Indicating a point on the surface of the bay eastward of the canoe. His right arm was extended, and he placed his left hand on her shoulder. Courtenay, halliHg Walker, saw the two leaning over the rails in that attitude. Perhaps one of the two hoped that Courtenay wonki Bee them. Elsie, as part of her punishment, did not shrink away, though the touch of Chrlstobal's hand mado her flesh creep. But Joey, whose mind was singularly free from complexities, leaped up at her. He wanted Elsie to tell him what Courtenay was doing out there, so far away from the ship. She stooped and picked him up. Christobal had no excuse for a second caress. "Bark, Joey," she whispered, "tark and call your master. If anything happens to him, you and I shall never sea England again. And I am longing foi home today." CHAPTER XIII. HRISTMAS day arrived and maintained Its kindly repute by finding affairs on board the Kansas changed for the better. Mr. Boyle was so far recovered that he could walk. He even took command of two watches in the twenty-four hours, but was forbidden to exert himself lest the wound in hi3 back should reopen. Several injured sailors and firemen were convalescent. The two most serious cases were out of danger. Frascuelo. hardy as a weed, dared the risk of using his damaged leg and survived, though his progress along the deck was painful. Nevertheless on Christmas morning he presented himself before the captain and asked leave to abandon his present quarters. He felt lonely in the forecastle and wished to berth with the other Chileans In the neighborhood of the salon. Although his luck was bad in some respects, the coal trimmer was endowed with the nine lives of a cat, for thera could be no manner of doubt that he dragged himself aft just In time to avoid being killed. Yet never was day less ominous In appearance. The breezy, sunlit morning brought no hint of coming tragedy. The fine weather which had prevailed since the Kansas drifted into the estuary seemed to become more settled as the month wore. Suarez said it was unprecedented. But the miner from Argentina never wavered in his belief that the Indians would soon muster every adult for an assault on the ship. The elements might waver, but not the hate of the savage. From the rising of the sun tc the going down thereof Suarez ever on the alert (To be Continued.) was To Judge from the way most of the big teams have been missing the ball it looks to be another season of light hitting. Old Bob Unglaub of the Boston Americans evidently wanted to start something when he said the Eastern league wasn't In it with the American association for good and fast ball playing. And after Buffalo and Toronto of the Eastern league had made tho Columbus A. A. champs look like a bunch of wet clothes.
