TERY IN SEA FIRE Burning Boat Puzzles South Chicago Last Night in Midlake. "vThat appeared to be a boat In flames about five miles out in the lake was observed off the shore of South Chicago last night and the fire tug Chicago, in command of Captain Sweeney, went out to investigate. Before the tug could get close enough to learn the cause of the fire. It vanished, but it is believed that a boat took fire and sank. All the life saving stations were notified to be on the lookout for bodies and If possible burned wood, to make sure that a boat did burn. The flro tug was notified just before the rainstorm and the clouds. Mist and rain added to the prevention of seeing for sure if it was a boat. The fire tug went out into the lake about four miles and then steamed around for a while, but without any avail. Whether the flames were in a small launch and destroyed it or whether they were due to the ignition cf leaking gasoline on such a launch and were of little extent, tho life saving crew and the fire tug officials are unable to determine. A further search for the supposed burned boat will be made this morning. A large number of launches which moor in the Calumet river and make daily trips to and from Jackson Park and Chicago were known to be out on the lake at the time of the accident and it is not known for sure If one of these little craft burned and sank. This morning an investigation will begin to find out. if possible, if any of the little gasoline launches are missing. All the life savers of the South Chicago life saving station were worn out with the hunt for the burned boat and this morning they went out afresh and with more vigor, and if possible they will locate the boat.

LESLIE HILL IS Former South Chicagoan Dies in a Hospital at Saginaw, Mich. The sad news was received in South Chicago yesterday announcing the death of Leslie Hill, who died Tuesday at the "West Side hospital in Saginaw, Mich., after a short illness with heart trouble. l'p to two years ago Mr. Hill resided in South Chicago and was employed at the Pullman car works in the capacity of machinist. During his stay hero he made many friends who will regret to hear of his death. Last Monday Hill was walking down Main street in Saginaw when he was a witness to a brutal assault upon a white man by two negroes. 1'pon the sight of blood flowing freely from the white man's face, Hill reeled over and was taken to the hospital in an unconscious condition. He regained consciousness shortly after being taken to the hospital, but his heart at times would take fluttering spells, and it was heart trouble that caused his death, according to the coroner's inquest. The funeral services will be held today from his home, in one of the suburbs, to Lake View cemetery. Hill was married but had no children. Sweet Fern Cure for Ivy Poison.

His injuries were dressed by a physician, who stated that no serious results would follow the accident. HEALTH OFFICERS PASS THROUGH EIGHTH WARD Two officers from the health department were in South Chicago investigating the unsanitary conditions that are said to exist in certain parts of the eighth ward. The objective point of the officers' visit was at Ninety-third street and Torrence avenue where the sloughs abound on all sides. The stagnant waters in these sloughs are the means of much typhoid and other germs and so poison are the waters in these holes that ducks that have drank the water are known to have died within a few hours after doing so. The attention of the health department was brought to this property by residents who live near and some action will probably be taken during the next few days. In the meantime the spot is being evaded by those who are compelled to walk near it as the stench issuing therefrom is said to be very bad. Where THE TIMES May Be Had.

GIRTEN PAYS A VI5IIiLEADEESF,LoAT.

Former Judge of South Chicago Replaces Judge Torrison. Judge Michael Girten presided at the South Chicago branch of the municipal court yesterday in the absence of Judge Torrison, who was injured Monday morning while getting in his carriage at 57 Aldis place. This is the first time that Judge Girten has visited South Chicago since last January when he was transferred to the West Chicago avenue court, and during the hours before the session of the court he was kept busy shaking hands with his old attaches and other friends in the city. Judge Girten said nothing would please him more than to be sent back to South Chicago as he liked this district very much. As there were only a few cases on the docket court adjourned early. Judge Torrison is expected to be able to resume his duties here today, and Judge Girten will go back to the West Chicago avenue court. During the regime of Girten over the local court ho was always being kidded about his approaching marriage and while in the city yesterday he took particular pains to inform the press men that he was still single and enjoying the freedom of bachelor life. HE LIED TOJHE JUDGE Prisoner is Given Sharp Reprimand by Judge Girten. Joseph Stdolo, 10G56 Green Bay avenue was fined $20 and costs yesterday before Judge Girten. Although Stdolo was arrested charged with pellink liquor to minors he was discharged upon this charge, but was fined $20 and costs for lying to Judge Girten. In fining Stdolo Judge Girten said: "I am fining you for lying so it will teach you to have respect for the court even if you haven't any for youself. It is very often that prominent business men and church goers in this community deliberately lie in court, despite their oaths to the contrary, and seem to think nothing more of it. It must be stopped and I will punish all such offenders at every opportunity." In Stdolo's case he tried to hand the judge a bunk story and upon being cross-examined practically admitted that he had told a lie. Three other saloonkeepers who were arrested for selling liquor to minors, were assessed the costs and warned to be more careful In the future. The peculiar fine given by Girten yesterday is the first in the history of the South Chicago branch of the municipal court where any witness has been fined upon this charge. Old Gloves. They have about 50 or 60 kid glovpa at the ticket office down at Union statlon, gray suedes, undressed kids every old kind. But the trouble Is that among them all there is not one pair. They are all odd gloves, mostly "lefts." You see most men carry their money In their left-hand pockets, and when they're buying railroad tickets, they take off the left glove. Then when they go away and leave the glove the boys in the ticket office are no better off than If they had left nothing behind but an air of mystery. "It's surprising, too," they say at the ticket office, "how many men have one or two fingers missing. Out of the lot of old gloves now there, a dozen or more have at least one finger gone. The ticket sellers watch for men who have fingers missing and try to match them up with gloves that correspond. With tlaat exception, most of the gloves go to waste. Cleveland Plain Dealer.

EVERY DAY THIS WEEK.

(Continued from page 1.) club in a special train for Denver to attend the national convention. The Hoosiers will go to the convention city bent on whooping things up for John W. Kern, of this city, for vice president. They will take a brass band with them and numerous lithographs of Kern and banners bearing his name. Mr. Kern is already in Denver. He went early this week with Stokes Jackson, state chairman; John E. Lamb of Terre Haute, who will be the Indiana member of the resolutions, Claude Bowers, delegate from Vigo county, and other prominent members of the party. They stopped off at Llncol n and dis cussed the vice presidential situation with Mr. Bryan. It may be that Mr. Kern is too close to T. Taggart to win much from the convention. Kern and Bryan are good friends but the commoner and the national chairmen do not pour out their hearts to each other. Taggart. it will be recalled, did not even come to Indiana polls to great Bryan when the latter was dined and feted and cheered by thousands of citizens here last February. Nor did he go to the Lafayette banquet for the commoner. The two do not like each other and Mr. Bryan does not trust the national chairman, knowing him to have belonged to that coterie of eastern democrats who four years ago were responsible for the candidacy of Judge Parker. LEAVES IIMRBESTEO Lansing, 111., Man Comes to Grief in Hammond Last Night. Charles Frank was not allowed to board a Nickel Plate passenger train last night and get out of town. Instead he was arrested and placed in Jail where he will await the arrival of a constable from Lansing, who will take him back there to stand trial for wife desertion. Frank has a wife and four children In Lansing. His occupation is that of junk dealer, and he is a brother-in-law of Mr. Leimbach, who lives at 70S North Hohman street. Indeed, it was leimbach who first tipped it off to the police that Frank had deserted ills family and Officer Nick Einsele was detailed to arrest him. Officer Einsele found Frank as he was about to get out of the city on a night train. NEW flMPPOIflTED Seven Precinct Committeemen Are Appointed by Chairman Schaaf. F. Richard Schaaf. republican county chairman, yesterday laid the precinct work of Gary on seven broad shoulders. By a recent ruling of the county commissioners Gary is divided into seven voting precincts. It having been originally contained in one precinct. In the early days, when the new steel town could boast of only one precinct and only one committeeman, Oliver Holmes bore tills distinction. Mr. Schaaf has asked Mr. Holmes to accept a reappointment, but the latter having been reappointed on the board of education, refused to accept the position, saying that he was already overcrowded with work. The precinct committee appointments as made by Mr. Schaaf yester day are as follows: Precinct 1. M. M. Dui-hleh Precinct 2. George H. Maione. Precinct 3. John S. McPherson. Precinct 4. Henry Austin.
