A DAY IN G

THE CITY

George a Bad Boy. George Mescall, the 11-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. J. Mescall, who live on Adams street, near Fourteenth avenue, was again arrested by the local police yesterday on a charge of melicious trespass. This Is the third time that the young man has been brought before the court, and, It Is thought, he will now be sent to the reform school. Meescall got mad at his parents because they reprimanded him and proceeded to break the wall in the house by choping It with an axe. The case will come up in Judge Townsley's court today.

HEARD BY RUBE.

Ice Cream Social. The Junior Endeavor of the , Pres

byterlan church will give an Ice cream r

social and musical In the basement of the church building at the corner of the corner of Sixth avenue and Monroe street tonight. Ice cream and cake will be served, and a fine program has been arranged by the young folks of the church. Every one Is cordially invited. Nick Will Recover. Nicholas Dokovlch, the Gary foreigner, who had his foot taken off yesterday by being run over by a Lake Shore train while attempting to board the same, is now at Mercy hospital. Although the injured member had to be amputated above the ankle, Dokovich is doing nicely and will recover unless no serious complications set In.

Since the Gary saloons have gone out of business that is some of them there has been a great drop in the price of pretzels. And again the price of free lunch remains about the same. Oh! cheer up! It will only be a few short weeks until you can lay out in the hammock and let the mosquitoes bite to their heart's content. The strike is over and now let the building in Gary go on unmolested. A few more rain and the residents of the Calumet river district will be able to do their fishing out of the kitchen window. However, we shall all be of a quiver until it Is finally decided who the candidates for mayor in Gary are really

going to be.

Now that the teamsters' strike is

over, the umpire with his "three strikes and your out," will take a main part

n the world's doings.

Those people in Gary who are lucky

enough to have a few shovelfuls of coal

left in the bin might come to a more reasonable agreement with the iceman

if it were known.

While having sublime faith in the

Gary baseball team to win their first game, we would be a whole lot surer

of it if we knew the score would re

main at 1,000.

Even now there is still some chance

to prosecute the dealer who sells cigarettes to the minor.

Certain local restaurants are showing

a few new styles in strawberry shortcake and rhubarb pie. They are awful

nice to look at.

iilRSiLL

GEIS id BOUQUETS

May Start Saloons.

Several baloonkeepers about the city are now looking over the territory ad

jacent to Calumet township with a view of establishing thirst-quenching

parlors for the people of Gary who re

cently have been forced to go to East

Chicago or Hammond to get their fill.

During the coming fall and winter several little towns about Gary may

be livened up with a number of new saloons and frequent visitation from the neorjle of Gary. Most of the new

places will be located in Hobart town ship.

K. C.'s Are Invited.

Notices were received today by members of the Knischts of Columbus, In

Lake county, to attend the dedica tton of the Catholic church at Gary It is expected that at least 200 Catho

lies will go to Gary from Hammond

Sunday and many more from East Chi

cago, Indiana Harbor, and Whiting. The Catholics of Gary are expecting

at least 1,000 visitors next Sunday.

Gary Will Attend.

A number of Gary high school boys and girls are planning to attend the Lake county oratorical contest, in

Hammond, tonight. Although they have

have no candidate entered this year

they are nevertheless greatly interested in the event, as thy fel that

from this time on Gary will be a fac

tor. In this event. Gary has not yet become a member of the oratorical so

ciety of the county, although It has been given a place at the county field meet. It Is believed that the Interurban

cars will bring down at least fifty root ers from Miller and Gary. May Play Tomorrow-

The Gary baseball team has been attempting to arrange for a game to be

played In Gary tomorrow with a pick

up nine. Sunday the team will go to

South end, where they will meet th South Bend Spiros of that place in thei

first regular game of the season, and

they feel that they need all of th

practice that they can get. The Gary fans who desire to see what the team looks like in action and with their new uniforms on may have an opportunity to see them tomorrow.

The South, Taking John Sharp Williams' Advice, Begins to Look Over the Indiana Executive for Presidential Timber.

lal candidates. He says he is governor that's all, and that he Is not running for anything else and will not run for anything elee as long as he Is governor of Indiana. Some Timber In Shively. If Indiana has a candidate for nomination for president on the democratic ticket in 1912 it may have two instead of one, for there is a good deal of talk down east of Senator Benjamin F. Shively for that honor. Of course, everybody takes oft their hats to Gov

ernor Marshall for the victory he won last fall, and he Is far and away the most prominent democrat in Indiana just now, from the viewpoint of the entire country. And if here were to get into the race for the nomination for president he might line up the

state solidly ror mm ana again ne might not. For he and Shively have not trained together In the same school of politics, and Shlvely's following is of the kind that would probably not sro to Marshall except as a matter of

state pride. Marshall Gets Good Advertising.

Some of the .New sorK papers are saying nice things about Senator Shively, and they frequently use his name In the list of presidential possibilities. But there is not any good reason to believe at this time that either Marshall or Shively will get Into the game. Presidential candidates are not chosen that way anyhow. The democratic candidate for president is generally picked by Dick Croker. Charley Murphy, "Fingy" Connors and the rest of the bunch in New York, assisted by a similar bunch in other big cities. This crowd has not yet announced that it Is "fer" either Marshall or Shively for anything. They call them nice fellows, all right, and acknowledge that they make good speeches, but when It comes to picking out one of them for president well .they have not done anything along that line yet. Governor Marshall Is getting a lot of good advertising out of his boom for the presidency, and that is worth something ,too. It will put him Into the highest councils of the party, and he will from now on be a man that the other lellows must reckon with.

An old timer and a good timer, presented itself to was made three centuries ago and was all out of fix. It had received hard usage. The man who owned it had been unkind to it. It was a watch that few watchmakers would undertake to repair, but Mr. Silver, being an expert, located the trouble, took the commission and the owner went on his way rejoicing. No. 265 East State Street, near the Bijou Theatre, is the right place to get this class of work done, and done correctly.

LOSE THEIR POULTRY (Special to The Times.) Indiana Harbor, Ind., April 23. The police of this city are going about with one eye cocked for chickens minus that part of their plumage that goes over the fence last. It is a dangerous thing these days ft) own tailless poultry, for chicken thieves are abroad In the land, and night before last they got twenty-five of the choicest fowls belonging to S. Levin's hennery, and these same fowls had been shorn of their talis before they were stolen. As there are other fowls in plenty, of the same breed, about the Harbor, the police are depending upon the short

age of tail feathers as. a means of

Identification of the missings birds and

so the respectable citizen who has tak

en the same means of Identifying his

chickens among those of his neighbors

would best beware and keep the tail-

to avoid suspicion.

Mr. Levin Is not the only citizen

of Indiana Harbor who has suffered

from the raids of night marauders with an appetite for chicken. Sarac of Guthrie and Michigan avenue and

who Is foreign exchange clerk for John It. Farovid, was one of the victims.

Leo Orzechowski, One Hundred and

Thirty-eighth and Cedar streets was another. The former lost only half a dozen and the latter about a dozen, all

good layers.

In the case of Ijevln, the heaviest

loser, the thieves were considerate enough to leave eleven, but Mr. Levin, In taking an inventory of his remain

ing stock, noticed that the latter consisted of culls. His chickens had been In the habit of mingling with those of

his neighbors, hence the shorn tf.lls whereby it is hoped to get a clew to the identity of the thlees. The latter broke down the fence and broke off the lock of tne chicken coop door In getting to their prey.

AT STATE CAPITAL. Indianapolis, Ind.,

south is interested In shall, according to a

Washington, and the democrats of that part of the country have undertaken to study the man to see whether he Is presidential timber or not.

This fact came out when it was dis

covered that Congressman Moss of the f.llh Indiana district, recently sent to Washington a large supply of printed copies of Governor Marshall's Inaugur

al address and of his first message to the legislature after his inauguration. Congressman Moss did this at the request of Senator John Sharp Williams of Mississippi, who told him after Governor Marshall had been at Washington that "the democrats of the south should keep their eye on Indiana, because, ultimately, the choice of the democratic party for the presidency will come from that state.''

Listen to Senator Williams. Senator Williams is the big democrat of the south, and his views and opinions carry more weight than those of any other southern democrat. The south looks to him to lead the way In party politics, so when he made this remark, the southern congressmen and senators decided to see what was In the governor of Indiana. They made requests for copies of his addresses and messages in order that they might study them and And out whether he is a democrat of the old type, such as the party used to contain. These requests for copies of his speeches became so frequent, according to the dispatch from Washington, that Congressman Moss decided to try to comply with

them. So he sent back to Indiana and had a large supply of printed copies

of the speeches and the Inaugural address forwarded to him for distribu

tion among those who were asking for them. Marshall Says Nothing. The dispatch says that ever since the pamphlets arrived the democratic congressmen, nearly all of whom are from south of Mason and Dixon's line, have been reading them carefully and studying the utterances of Governor Marshall on the issues of the day. And it is said that frequent favorable comment is heard among them. Governor Marshall, however, does not take any stock in the effort to boost his name In the list of president-
