East Chicago, Ind. ' ' . 15-tf INDIANA HARBOR. Boosters' Club Meets. The Boosters' Commercial club met In Cline's hall last night. President Chas. E. Fowler presided, and a crowd was present. The principal questions brought out for discussion included the street car franchises, the proposed raise in private telephone wire rates, drinking water in the schools and the n.-t stopping at the Harbor of one of the Lake Shore trains. In the matter of the franchises, those present seemed to be a unit in believing that the council should grant permission to all street railways which could show the proper backing and inclination to build. They also thought that no one company should be given the exclusive right over any street, but that all be permitted t: rise the same tracks, provided they were willing to put up their share of the cost of building and maintaining the same. In the matter of telephone rates on private wires, it seemed to be the general impression that the rates were plenty high enough, and condemned any increase. The west-bound Lake Shore train, which leaves Gary at 5 o'clock in the evening and does not stop between that place and South Chicago, was declared to be a damage to Indiana Harbor, as the large number of men who work in Gary and live in Indiana Harbor are compelled to wait until the 6:30 train out of there, thus losing at least a half hour of valuable time, when they might be home with their families. This matter will be taken up with the ailroads officials. Those present last night also thought that the schools should be supplied with water other than the ordinary hydrant water. The committee, which lias the question of the widening of Michigan avenue in charge, was not ready to make a for mal report last night, but probably will at the next meeting, which will be held next Wednesday evening. Mr. Henry Landcfleld was in South Bond yesterday and stopped off at Ho bart on his way back.

WHITING MEN INDULGE III BUNS ID RAGES M. E. Harr Trots From Oil City to East Chicago and Back Again. TIE 1 HOUR AND 5 C. 0., Record Light Weight, Wins Out Over Mike Hubbard in Foot Race. (Special to The Times,) Whiting, Ind., April 22. As the result of a wager, Michael E. Harr has suceeded in fading pedestrians, who are emulating Weston, to a frazzle. Mr. Harr has the reputation of pulling off more stunts than any other man in the Oil City. On Tuesday Mr. Harr made a wager to the effect that he could run from Whiting to East Chicago and back without once stopping to ever draw a breath. This seemed like a rather difficult undertaking for a man of Mr. Harr's size, so he found no trouble in getting men to bet with him. The run was to be from the Standard Oil company's tracks, in Whiting, to the Wabash tracks, in East Chicago, and the hardest part of it was that he must not even stop when East Chicago was reached, but turn right around and run back. A large crowd accompanied Mr. Harr to the starting point and from there he was followed up by a horse and buggy, containing some of the heaviest bettors, to see that he fulfilled his part of the bargain. Makes Trip in 1:05. The start was made at 3 o'clock and at 4:03 Mr. Harr, practically out of breath, again returned to his starting point, making the round trip in just one hour and five minutes. Harr won the victory but suffered for it yesterday, when it was almost Impossible for him to get out of bed and when he did his over-supply of exercise had made him so stiff that he could navigate only with great difficulty. This was not the only attraction in Whiting on this day, but the men must have had the running fever for the race of C. O. Record and Mike Hubbard, down One Hundred and Nineteenth street during the busiest part of the day caused great excitement. Mr. Record is manager of the Whiting telephone exchange. and not very heavy in weight. Mr. Hubbard, the barber, on the other hand, is known as one of Whiting's heavyweights. The race was from New York to Pennsylvania avenue. For a time it looked as though Hubbard would be the victor, but when a short distance from Penn sylvania avenue Hubbard played out and Record came in first. These three men promise to make a practice of running this summer and expect to engage in several races before, the season is over. WILL NOT TRADE "JIGGS" DONOHUE Comiskey Denies He Will Go to Washington. Springfield. O., April 22. According to reports received hero "Jiggs" Dono- j t hue, the White Sox first baseman, will i be sold or traded to the AYashington club. Donohue, it is said, is not satis- j tied witli his berth with the Chicago i American league club and is anxious to get away. President Comiskey of the White Sox denied that Donohue would be traded or sold to the Washington club. He declared that "Jlggs" was too valuable a player to dispose of unless lie could secure a bid price for him. MARSHALL BEATEN BY CAPABLANCA American Chess Expert Makes Costly Error. New York, April 22. The second game of the chess match between Frank J. Marshall and Jose B. Capablanca, which was played here last night, resulted in a victory for the Cuban expert. Capablanca essayed a Ruy Lopez opening, against which Marshall adopted the famous London 3-P-KB-4. 'This involves the sacrifice of a pawn, and after the first dozen moves were made it seemed as if Marshall had secured no equivalent in position for the lost material. The game was practically decided ; when Marshall, with his twentieth j move, made under pressure of the time limit, committed an error which gave j the Cuban the opportunity for a very j brililant coup by which he offered the ; sacrince oi nis queen. lnis .uarsnan j could not capture under penalty of ( mate. Marshall lasted until the thir- j ty-second move and then resigned the game. JOHNSON CONFIDENT Kid Cutler Says Jack Is Sure He'll WinCharles (Kid) Cutler, the boxer and wrestler who has been acting as Jack Johnson's sparring partner, returned to Chicago yesterday. He was forced to cjuit his nightly bouts with the champion on account of a badly cut lip, the result of a collision with one of Jack's uppercuts. Cutler declared that Johnson was supremely confident he can beat Jeffries or any other man living.
TO
JOHI! VERS COM BUCK Peerless Little Cub to Rejoin the Team at Once. Johnny Evers, peerless second sacker and one of the greatest working cogs in the champion Cub machine, will be back on the job April 30. He may be seen in his fighting attire a few days earlier, but all doubt as to his plans for the future was dispelled yes terday, when Manager Chance received a message from Troy with the tidings straight from Johnny. The idol of the West Side fans will leave Troy within a few days to join the cham pions at Cincinnati, when they open their first series in Porkopolis. and hopes to be fit for battle during that struggle. If not. he will get busy dur ing the pirate engagements, immedi ately afterward. The ultimatum from Troy reached Chance early In the morning, and by noon the gladsome tiding had been circulated all over Chicago, casting good cheer into the home of every fan, whether Cub or White Ho.v follower Johnny has been hard at work for sev eral days with the squad at the Van Rensselaer Polytechnic school and will need little practice before breaking into the big league activities. Hp closed his message with an expression of best wishes for good luck until he could again mingle with his old pals CUBS ARE IDLE AT HANNIBAL Wet Grounds Prevents the Missouri Game. Hannibal, Mo., April 22. Local fans wanted to see the world champion Cubs in action against the new Central association squad yesterday, but the cloudy weather caused Treasurer Wil Hams to call the fray off. Fully 2.000 fans were clamoring at the gates and wanted the decision reversed, but the Cubs didn't want to take a long chance on a wet diamond. The players stay ed in Hannibal as the guests of the baseball association, and were entertained at a theater party last night. They left at 2:f0 this morning for St. Louis, where they are scheduled to play the Cardinals today. ROLLER LOSES GO Doc Roller failed to throw Jim Galvin twice in thirty minutes in the wlndup of the wrestling show at Euson's theater last night, gaining one fall in 15:25 with a half Nelson and wrist lock. The bout was well contested, the Seattle physician making a good impression, despite his failure to gain two falls. In the other event Ted Tonneman stayed twenty minutes with Athos in one of the mo::t exciting matches seen in Chicago recently. illlllllllllllllllllllll "The Times' 18 the Sporting Authority of all the Calumet ft eaion .

The Rev Henry Maurer, the Christian missionary who was killed with D. M. Rogers in Adana, was shot, like Mr. Rogers, by fanatical Turks while striving to extinguish the fires which were destroying the home of an aged Turkish woman, a widow. The fires had been kindled by Moslem rioters. Both missionaries were killed instantly. The Rev. Mr. Maurer was attached, to the mission school in Hadjin, Turkey, maintained by the Mennonite Brethren in Christ. He was 30 years of age. His parents were German-Americans. He came to this country at an early age, and was raised by his uncle, Jacob Beeler, a farmer, residing in the German settlement in St. Joseph county, near Wakarusa, Ind. Maurer received a high school education and a practical knowledge of agriculture. He early showed a desire to enter the ministry, and studied for that work. He moved to Goshen in 1903 and took charge of the church there. He was successful, and in 1005, after preparing himself for the foreign mission service, he left for Hadjin, Asia Minor. He married a Miss Hawley while abroad, but she died a year ago.

Do you crave for a good old-fashioned New England boiled dinner? Corned beet and cabbage and pork and beets and onions and turnips?
