POLICE ABEEST A MAN ON SUSPICON
South Chicago Man Is Gathered in with
Peculiar Ontflt.
Officers Mulcahy and Swada yester
day arrested" a man who looked sus
picious to them. He gave his name
as Jacob Smith of South Chicago, say
ing that his' father, Fred Wheiler, there, was his step-father. The man
wore a Tiew overcoat and carried a lady's watch containing a girl's pic- ' ture. In his coat pocket he carried
two cushion covers, and the whole combination in the . man's make-up looked suspicious enough to -warrant thm to place him under arrest. The Gary police have notified Officer Skiba to come to Gary to look over , the man and hear his evidence in court this morning.
"When the Gary police are not busy arresting drunks and fighting nres they take a turn at raiding blind pigs.
There are lots of women in Gary
whose Idea of economy is to buy S cents' worth of anything on two separate occasions instead of blowing in a dime all at once.
Its self evident that some of the
Gary lawyers who question the witnesses don't know it all.
HJred help is said to be so scarce in Gary that some of the married men spend most of their time at home tending the baby and washing the dishes. - Having forty lawyers in Gary we have some bid to have the extra superior court here. See what a saving in car fare it would be among the forty lawyers In Gary. Gary, Ind., already has swallowed Toleston. Hammond and East Chicago should be on their guard. The state line protects Chicago. Chicago Daily News. "Tea, but Gary Jumped greater things than an imaginery state line. All business houses, banks, etc., will be closed in Gary on Thanksgiving in order t allow its proprietors to partake of a safe and sane Thanksgiving dinner. A superior cburt building would grace the streets of Gary better than it would any other city in the Calumet region. Gary is getting its Tiptodate fire fighting apparatus little by little and next year will probably want to Join the Lake County Volunteer Firemen's association.
The spitting ordinance will probably be brought up for its final passage tomorrow afternoon, and after that it will pay to be a little careful where
you expectorate.
Enough grass seed Is being planted
in Gary this fall to make some of the one time sand hills look like a small
sized park.

Coffreth Makes Offer of Match for New Year's Day. Freddie Welsh may be the next opponent of Packie McFarland, provided Welsh beats AtteU at Los Angeles Thanksgiving. A bout with the Briton, under those conditions, was offered to Manager Harry Gilmore, Jr., by wire yesterday for New Year's day, and ho immediately accepted. The only stipulation he makes is that Welsh agree to 133 pounds at S o'clock. Gilmore returned from the east yesterday and said that he had received
offers for Packie to meet Joe Gans at twenty-five rounds or Murphy in a sixround return match. He is willing to
take on the latter go, but thinks Gans
should agree to a twenty-five round
bout with McFarland.
Sailor Burke and Joe Thomas are
carded to mwt before the Fairmount A.
C of New York next Friday evening.
Manager -Gibson has been planning on
the McFarland-Murphy go as the succeeding contest, but it has not been definitely arranged.
"We found the New York game con
siderably better that that at Philadelphia, said Gilmore yesterday, "on account of the prevailing prices. In Philadelphia, where some club is boxing
every night, the prices range around the
theatrical .scale from 50 cents to $1.50. In New York they run l, $3 and $5. Thus the houses pay considerably more.
"We wont arrange any bouts for
Packie until we see the result of the
Welsh-Attell bout."
Fred Merkle of the New York Giants says he lost twenty pounds in two days after making that celebrated fat-head foozle. Manager Charlie Babb of the Memphis team has a promising bunch of twenty-five tossers from which to pick

Alleging that the Hammond referee was biased in his decisions, the Rensselaer Republican, in its account of the football game between Hammond and Rensselaer high schools, said last night: "The referee is a big man in a football game. And this is the reason Rensselaer did not run up a good big score on Hammond last Saturday. The Hammond official was so extremely partisan In his decisions that whenever Rensselaer got away with the ball he blew his whistle, called the ball back to its starting point and penalized the home players forborne alleged infrac
tion of the rulesiJThis did not happen once or twice, but a dozen times, and had the Hammond team been any way near the equal of our team they would have won the contest."
