N0TEE DAME ON EASTERN TRIP. Notre Dame, Ind., May 13. The Notre Dame varsity nine left here at 3:50 this afternoon for Syracuse, where it will clash with the Syracuse university team, Friday, in the first game of the eastern trip. Williams, Dartmouth, Ver mont, Boston college, Fordham, Siton Hall,' Georgtown and the Western uni yerslty of Pennsylvania, will also be placed. This is the first attempt at an eastern invasion, and if success Is attained, on the eastern trip, It will be come a annual affair. Fifteen players, Manager McGannon and Coach Curtice are making the trip. The men are all In excellent condition. . FIFTEEN MORE ENTRIES. . Automobilists fought yesterday for admission to the field in the third an nual hill climb of the Chicago Motor club, which wil be held " tomorrow. weather permitting, on the Parry and Phillips hills at Algonquin, 111. The arrival of fifteen more .entries through the mails yesterday boosted Chairman Root's total count to eighty machines The list constitutes a record that has never been equaled in any hill contests In America. SLAGLE IS BENCHED. , Jimmy Slagle, for years the cente fielder of the Cubs, has been placed On the bench for awhile, and Artie Hof man will take his place. "Rabit" ha not been at his best since the season started, and Chance believes that h should be given a rest. This gives Hof man, regarded as the greatest utll ity man in game, a chance to show what he can do as a regular. The change does not mean that Jimmy Is out of it for good. If Hofraan should fall down on the job, James will be shot back to the place again. KILLS GAME IN PEORIA. ' . Peoria, 111., May 13. "No more box lng in Peoria while I am mayor,", was the ultimatum issued by Mayor Thomas O'Connor of this city over the long-dis 1 lance telephone to Chief of Police Kier jian from Chicago today. The order is . final, and Chief Kiernan will rigor ously enforce It. The order came as an outgrowth of the unfortunate affair in West Pavilion - on Tuesday evening, in which Jack Morgan of Indianapolis severely punished the original Kid Farmer of Chicago in a, ten-round bout. After the mill Farmer fainted from over-exertion, a weakened heart and pummeling he had received, and for many hours hovered between life and death in proctor hospital,

MOTES

SOX WIN BATTLE. Philadelphia, May 13. The White Sox and Athletics fought out their second game of the series this afternoon in a real summer - day. The contest was a pitchers' battle between Walsh and Dygert and the big spltball thrower beat his little opponent out In the great battle by a 2 to 1 score. The weather was made to order for the ball players, for it was the warmest of the season so far. The temperature was in the 80s and every man on the field had a chance to work out all the kinks and wrinkles. GANS AND UNK0LZ TONIGHT. San Francisco, May 13. Strength will be pitted against skill at Jack Gleason's arena tomorrow night, when Rudolph Unholz, the former sailor, and Joe Gans, the lightweight champion, clash in their twenty-round bout. From all indica tions, the affair will excite as much interest as any bout held here in sev eral months. On the eve of the battle, a sudden accession of favor in Unholz's favor makes it seem likely that he will not be the 5-to-2 outsider first expected when he faces the champion tomorrow. Much of the play In the poolrooms has been In small bets and the makers of these wagers are attracted by the odds laid against Unholz. LITTLE GIANTS BEATEN. Ann Arbor, Mich., May 13. In five Innings Michigan won over Wabash heretoday by a 2 to 0 score. Rain stopped the game at that time. The Hoosiers' infield . was fast, but op portunte hits and Michigan's improved base-running won the game. Wabash plays here again tomorrow.

II - !

Gans meets Unholz ifi Frisco tonight. Big time. Sailors all backing the Boer to whom victory or defeat means life henceforth. or death in the ring! of the Minneapolis club have furnished two surprises for American association fans. The Dubuque team of the Three-I league made a good investment when it took over Lejeune, the former white I Sox player. "Rube" Kroh of the Johnstown TriState league team recently shut out Wilmington, pitching a no-run no-hit game. Bridgeport, Conn., has a ball player by the name of Beaumont. . May he become as reliable and as famous as good old "Bo" of Boston. The San Francisco team -nearly won the Pacific Coast league pennant the nrsc two weens or the season, bince then, however, they have returned and are now on speaking terms with the other clubs of the league. Nearly all the young pitchers who invented wonderful" foolers during the spring practice, such as the double razzle, the Merry Widow, Break-Your-Back, etc., have now been turned over to the minor leagues. Major leaguers were afraid the fans might tire of see ing a pitcher whom no batsman can hit. In a recent Texas league game the players did not take kindly to the rulings of a substitute umpire and in the melee that followed "urapy" lost most of his shoes and part of his pants. It is expected that trousers will be mutilated at such times, but when they ruin his shoes it's going too far. Frank Bowen has bn riMno- nil thJ catching for the Boston Nationals and Frank never did any better work. THINK IT WAS CASE OF E3 Standard Construction Co. Try to Place Board in Bad Light. WANTED TO GET OUT OF IT Company Tried to Dispose of Gary School Contract to Gerhardt Company. It appears as if the attempt of the Standard Construction company, who lc st the contract for the erection of the Emerson school building to place the school board in a bad light in the mat ter, was a case of "soup grapes" and the letter was circulated for the pur pose of trying to get back the five thousand dollar forfeit which they gave to the board to insure them against a breach of faith. Attempted To Dispose of It. The fact of the matter is that they found that they were unable to handle the contract and were only too glad to find some manner in which they could get out of it. It Is a known fact that they attempted to dispose of the Job to other contractors by sub-letting it, among them being the E. C. Gerhardt company of St. Louis, to whim the con tract was transfered by the board and another firm in Kalamazoo, Mich. After they found that they were unable to do so, they resorted to the circular letter and as an excuse to crawl out of it. Charges Were Untrue. The charge made in the circular let ter that the school board would not be able to raise the funds for the construction of the building is entirely false. It Is a fact that .two per cent of the assessed valuation taken at the last assessment would only be $114,000 when the building will cost the town $191,000. This fact Is explained by Superintendent W. A. Wirt, however. who says that the contracting for a building does not place the town in" debt until It is time for the building to be paid for. By that time a new assessment will have ben taken which will be larger by millions of dollars than the previous one, and the two percent of this valuation will more than cover the cost of the building. What Statute Says. "If the facts were as the Standard company states," said Mr. Wirt, "the board would be . placed in a position whereby they would not be able to even contract for the teachers for the ensueing year, or for the coal bill. desks, furniture, books and other ne cessities, which it Is absolutely necessary to do at the present, time. The statues of Indiana state specifically that contracting is not incurring an Indebtedness upon the town until the payment beconaea due. .. .. .. .

NET OF EVIDENCE

IS BEING TIGHTENED (Continued from pace 1). complices having been found. A growing theory is that Mrs. Gunness used some of her hired men as accomplices in murders and afterwards killed them on the theory that "dead men tell no tales." Search In Warsaw. One search, which led to Warsaw, Ind., failed to accomplish any disclos ures of value. Superintendent J. C. Smith had heard of the suicide of Jacob Rouche, 72 years old, which occurred in Warsaw on Sunday. Smith thought perhaps Rouch may have been implicated in the Gunness murders, but on Investigation found the old man had killed himself while despondent from illness. He had talked of the Gun ness crimes, but had known nothing except what he gained from newspapers. The sensation of the day In LaPorte was the receipt of a letter from a man named Fred'Hafle of Cleveland, tending to Indicate that Mrs. Gunness had an accomplice in her matrimonial schemes. The letter was accompanied by a tiny photograph of a woman bearing some" resemblance to the photograph of Mrs. Gunness,' but appearing younger. With the exception of the last nararanh of the letter, which the chief refused to make public, the Cleveland man: wrote as follows: Letter a Sensation. Dear Sir: Last August while wait ing for a street car in our public square I was approached by a man who began a conversation with me. He stated he was in Cleveland on a specu lation and that cattle was his line. After some time he endeavored to find out. regarding my family, etc., and asked me If I was married. In a spirit of fun I said no, and he immediately began to tell me about a rich widow who resided in LaPorte, Ind., who was looking for a man. He claimed she j i was the owner of a large ranch, stocked with cattle, and that she was looking for a man. When I asked him why she could not get a man there, he repiied that she did not want a man from that part of the country and he also stated that if I was willine both he and I would get on the train and go there at once. When I said I did not like to do that, he said if I would pay the fare of the woman she could come at once and I could see for myself. "He also gave me a picture of the woman who was supposed to be look ing for a husband, which I enclose herewith, and I do this merely thinking that I might be of assistance In the matter of Mrs. Gunness. Describe Accomplice. "This man claimed that Chicago was his home. He was about 35 or 36 years of age, 5 feet, 3 or 4 inches tall, and weighed about 160 pounds. He had a I reddish complexion, smooth face, dark I hair, and wore a black soft hat, blue I suit, and had the general appearance of a man pretty well to do." Upwards of twenty-five subpoenas were prepared today for- service upon witnesses In the cases. It is safe to say that only tag ends of evidence re main to be gathered in Lamphere's case. To complete the Identification of Andrew K. Helgelein for legal pur poses, a Bertillon expert, who has Helgelein's measurements as a convict. has been sent for to come here and measure the body at the morgue. With scattering exceptions, the peo ple here grant that the identification of the body a3 "eliein-s is correct-, that Mrs. trur.ncffs diea in tne nre ana the rings found were hers and her children. At all events, It is granted that If Mrs. Gunness was a shrewd enough woman to substitute a cadaver for herself, she would have thought of leaving her jewelry to be found with It. The mining operations at the farm today produced some globules of gold which may be from Mrs. Gunness' teeth. They will be examined by Dentist Norton tomorrow. IliuKS Good Clew. No attempt was made today by Cor oner Mack to have Mrs. C. Christofferson, who knew Mrs. Gunness, iden tify the rings found yesterday. Mrs. Chrlstofferson said one of the rings re sembled one that she had seen on the finger of Mrs. Gunness, but she was so uncertain that the coroner would not take her deposition. Joseph Maxon, the hired man who was at the Gun ness . house on the night of the fire, said he remembered that Mrs. Gun ness wore two band rings, but he could not say positively that those found In the fire were hers. Mrs. Gunness' executor, Wesley Fogle, today filed in LaPorte circuit court the report of the appraisers of Mrs. Gunness' property, exclusively real estate. It amounted to $820 In personal property and $720 in cash. CLUB Held Smoker at Gary Hotel Last Night That Was a Decided Hit. There was an enthusiastic meeting of the Masonic Social club at Gary last night at a smoker at the Gary hotel. There were about seventy-five Masons nresent. Lunch was served and a. vaudeville artist Derformed for the amusement of the guests. The evenin, was pleasantly spent by all who at tended. Captain H. S. Norton addressed the banquet and informed them of the fact that, although no lots were being sold in the first subdivision, he has received assurances that an exception could be made In the case of the Ma sons and so far as the lot is concerned the building of the new Masonic Temple can begin at once. Clyde Hunter sent the articles of incorporation of the Gary Masonic club to Indianapolis. This is not to be con f u. ed with the charter that was re ceived by the Masonic Building Asso elation of Gary. . The committee on building was in J structed to get busy and it Is hoped that the new temple may be - started this year. Several new members were taken into the club and the prospects for a prosperous future are verjr bright.

One of the happy surprises which came to the leaders of the republican party in Gary was the voluntary formation of a Polish Republican club with 150 members. There was a meeting at John Szeneski's hall at the corner of Sixteenth avenue and Massachusetts street, and the hall was packed. Speeches were made by many prominent Poles of Gary. President George Manlove of the Gary Republican club was called In to assist in the organization of the Polish Republican club, which will affiliate With the larger organization. It is expected that the example of the Poles will be followed by other of the foreigners in Gary. The matter of organizing was put to a vote and car ried unanimously, and another meeting will be held in the near future at which officers will be elected. The speeches were all made in the Polish language and the following were among those who talked: Antonl Balkus, B.

MPORTAKT LAWSU1I

AFFIRMED AT CAPITAL Supreme Court Gives Decis ion in Interesting . Lowell Case. Lowell, Ind.. Mav 14. (Special.) The supreme court has afflrmetf the decision of the Lake circuit court In the case of Phillip McNay vs. The Town of Lowell with Hadley the presiding judge on the bench. In his decision Judge Hadley said: Under section 2136 Burns 1901 forbidding, town officers to be interested in contracts with the town or to receive any money whatever on any such con tract, under penalty, a member of a Bothd of Town Trustees, operating a coal yard, who sold coal to the town for use In running its water-works and electric light plant and received pay ment, -is liable to the town for all the money paid to him. (2) The town la not bound to return any coal, in place of what was delivered to it and burned. before bringing suit. (3) The fact that said officer was actuated by honest motives and sold the coal at a price which yielded him no profit is no de fense to an action by the town to re cover the money. (4) Where the coal was delivered every week or two durr lng a perior of two years to supply .shortages caused by the failure of the engineer to order the necessary coal at wholesale from the contractors, aggregating 49C tons, delivered on fifty different occasions, there were no such emergencies as authorized said officer ! to contract with the town, even though the water-works and electric light plant must have shut down each time for lack of coal, since it was part of his official duty to see that an adequate supply was legally provided. Especially does the existence of another retail coal yard in town nega tive to an emergenry requiring the trustee to sell coal to the town. The town of Lowell operated its own water-works and electric light plant, and had contracts with wholesale dealers to supply it with coal. But about twice a month during the two years that McNay was in office the supply of coal ran out and an emergency order t was sent to McNay's coal yard. He filled fifty, such o: :ers, aggregating 594 tons, and charged $141.65 for drayage In additional to the invoice price of the coal, on which he charged no profit. There was another retail dealer In town, but no orders were sent to him. MANY VIOLATORS ; ARUEBKED.UP Game Warden Causes a Number of Arrests at Crown Point. Crown Point, Ind., May 14. (Special.; I Lake county game wardens have been busy throughout the county during the last week and several parties were made aware of the fact yesterday in Judge Nicholson's court, much to the chagrin of themselves and the flattenlng out of their pocketbooks. Ignorance No Excuse. One Crown Point . merchant. who Pleaded ignorance of the game law, was "0t "?usel n ttheBe grounds and was fined $5 and costs, amounting to $39.50, for selling fish contrary to the state game laws. Four men from Ilobart cauSnt n.nS lor nsn m me mm POnd there WCre brouht before JudSe Nicholson and disposed of as follows: r red Cash, case dismissed on ac count of insufficient evidence. Fred Black, case disposed of in same manner. Frank Kock, fined $5 and costs, amounting to $39.50. William Ostrander, same fine and costs. New Cases Investigated. Several more cases are being inves tigated around the vicinity of Cedar Lake and the offenders will probably feel the effects of the majesty of the law today. It is reported that one road super visor who is supposed to act in the capacity of game warden, has been guilty of violating the game law, but it is not known whether sufficient evidence can be procured to convict him. The game warden intends to prosecute additional cases with increased vigor and make an example of violators of the game laws in an effort to preserve the sport for fishermen who care not for the quantity as much as the quality of the fish caught, and it is said the Hobart school fund will be enriched several dollars as a consequence of his exertions. GALLANT GARY COP COVERED WITH CONFUSION A good story Is being told on one of the merchant police of Gary employed i under the well known constable, Frank Chambers. The man was engaged in patrolling his beat several nights ago, according to the story of Judge P. L. Fitzgerald, when in passing a barber shop he suddenly discerned the form of a man carefully peering out toward the street from the back of the room. The policeman thought that his chance had arrived to at last become a hero and secure a well deserved promotion. an v, nreDared to camp on the spot and await the coming out of the bur glar. After stealthily concealing himcif from 1 o'clock to 5 o'clock in the morning he peeped around the corner to take another look at his victim. By this time it was light enough so that he was able to identify the man, and the policeman spent the rest of the morning looking for a knothole to crawl through. It was his own re- ' flection In the barber shop mirror.
