SOUTH CHICAGO NEWS Mystery in Find. A body, badly decomposed, was found in the lake yesterday morning at 10 a. m., at One Hundred street.

A brass check, showing he had at one time been employed at Milwaukee, Wis., was found in his pocket. The corpse was removed to Rogers' undertaking rooms, 10054 Ewing ave nue. The following is the description of the dead man: Height 5 feet 10 inches; weight about 200 pounds; brown hair, large bald spot; blue serge suit; flannel shirt; cotton underwear, and high top shoes. Mrs. Ike Silverman, 8450 Buffalo avenue, was beaten Into insensibility by two young men while standing in front of her store. Mrs. Silverman was standing in front of the store when the two young men passed and made an insulting remark about , her. She said something about their ignorance, and was overheard by one of the ruffians. They then started toward her, and began beating her. She screamed, and neighbors came to her assistance. The two ruffians ran down the street, pur sued by an angry mob, but they es capea by Jumping on an out-going freight train. l ne police were asked to look for Henry Shesku, a carpenter contractor S44S Exchange avenue, who very mys teriously disappeared from his home April 19th, after drawing about $100 from the bank. His wife, who is al most prostrated with grief, believes her husband to be a victim of a foul play. So far as it is known he had no enemies. ir the made-land bill, now pending in the senate, is passed, the Illinois Steel company at South Chicago will be doubled in size, and employment will ne given to at least 20,000 men. The news was received in South Chicago wun great rejoicing. The foregoing was the result of a letter, which was received by Attorney Knapp, from E. H. jary, chairman of the directorate of the United States Steel Corporation. ine steel corporation wants to make South Chicago one of the greatest steel ii'uitris, ana im-y win n tney get a square deal at Springfield, which they will.

Mr. i.ary stated that Just as soon as the bill Is passed in the senate work will begin in making South Chicago one of the greatest steel centers in the United States. The additions which will ho added to the new plant will be even more modern than those In the Gary mills. The mills will all be in operation within four years if the senate gives the steel company the privilege to buy the land at $100 per acre. American City Leads All.

The "TIMES"

MARSHALL WILL N01ST0P BOUTS Properly Conducted Contests Will Be Permitted, Says the Governor.

Indianapolis. Ind., April 27. The lid Is not on in Indianapolis or in Indiana, for that matter, so far as boxing is concerned. The bouts of the In dianapolis Athletic club for Wednes day night will be carried out as an nounced. Governor Marshall and Pros ecutor Hooten have had a conference on the general subject. Both the gov ernor and the prosecutor are inclined, it is said, to recognize the difference between the art of boxing and prize fighting. "Boxing," said Governor Marshall, 'is taught in the best universities and colleges in the country and it is recognized everywhere as a manly art I believe it is. But often the lines be tween boxing and prize fighting are obliterated in the public mind. "Neither I nor Mr. Hooten is inclined to presuppose the commission of an offense in handling the situation, but when Mr. Hooten has evidence of prize fighting in Marion county I am convinced that he will do his duty." This is taken to mean that contests will not be Interfered with so long as they are conducted as they have been in the past. SOX ARE CLIMBING They're at the divide! By placing his broad shoulders to the Sox wheel yesterday afternoon at the fire-Bwept south side park Smith forced the Browns to hang onto the end gate. Naively speaking the score was 1 to 0, with the white-clad athletes the favorites. This places the infuriated Sullivan kids at the .500 mark, and still going up. Gazing at the ruins on his immediate left Smith felt a mighty lump rise in his throat and he had to take it out o nsomebody. As the Browns were the handiest objects in the perspective he handled them with much more violence that he expends on the rosewood pianos on his native heath, better known as Pittsburg. The faint smell of smoke reminded him of home and he could not lose under such conditions. OH, YOU ORVIE! Cincinnati, April 27. Terrific drives by Zimmerman and Overall broke up the opening game of the series between the Cubs and Reds yesterday and gave Chicag othe victory 6 to 2, shoving the Reds down In the percentage table and elevating the champions to second place In the list. Overall, who was turned loose by the Reds on the grounds that he never could pitch, and who never has forgiven them, pitched a masterly game, holding Griffith's men safe at all stages. For the first time this season there was no ascension among the Cubs, and they played hard, clever ball all the way. First they fell upon Campbell and drove him from the slab by long drives, and after Ragon, a new phenom, had stopped them for five rounds, they started swatting after two men were out in the eighth and with five safe drives and a lot of clever inside ball they added four more runs and made the game safe beyond doubt. WESTON LEAVES ILLINOIS CAPITAL Veteran Walker Departs for Girard. Springfield. 111.. .April 26. Edward Payson Weston, pedestrian, who is endeavorin gto walk from the Atlantic coast to the Pacific coast in 100 days, after stepping here yesterday, left for Girard, where he expects to spend the night. CROKER TO SEE DERBY New York, April 27. Richard Crbker. who is to sail for Ireland on the Eusitania next Wednesday, said last night that his principal object in going there now was to look over his several horses and one filly which he lias entered for the Derby, which is to be ru non May 28. PROMOTERS FEAR GOTHAM POLICE New York. April 27. Believing that the frequency with which boxing bouts are being held in this city will arouse further opposition to the fighting game and cause the police to continue their raids on boxing clubs, the management of the Fairmont club has postponed for a, week the ten-round bout between Freddie Welsh of England and Johnny Frayne of California. STARS ISSUE DEFI The Hammond Stars will challenge any baseball team in Lake county between the ages of 15 and 17 years. For games address Jerald Bowman, care Times. Hammond, Ind. First Woolen Cloth.

Champion Appears at Theater in Training Act. Jack Johnson, as a headliner, made his Chicago vaudeville debut at the Haymarket last night. A big crowd saw the champion in his act, which depicts a training camp seen prior to a championship fight. When called upon for a speech Johnson reiterated his former statements in regard to Jeffries. Johnson boxes with Yank Kenney, Jeffries' former sparring partner.

MORAN GIVES NEIL BEATING Coast Featherweight Almost Out in MillNew Haven. Conn., April 27. Owen Moran gave Frankie Neil another awful clouting last night before the Anchor club of this city. They went twelve fast rounds at 126 pounds and Neil was almost out in the third and again in the last round. Moran wound up the mill without a scratch. He took matters leisurely in the middle rounds and the crowd asked the boxer repeatedly to put on the high gear. The last round was a corker. Moran went after his man for a knockout, but Neil came back with reserve freshness which was surprising. Moran battered him viciously the last minute of the round and came near finishing him. LIGHTS OUT; NO BOXING BOUTS Memphis Fight Fans Are Disappointed. Memphis, Tenn., April 27. A big crowd assembled to witness Teddy Peppers and Tommy Garry and Danny Goodman and Frankie White in the double windup in the open air arena of the Phoenix club last night, but somebody cut the electric wires be fore the feature bouts started and return checks were Issued to more than 2,000 fight fans, with the announcement that the bout would take place Tuesday night. FINAL CUT ON CORNELL CREW Ithaca. N. Y., April 27. Coach Chas. E. Courtney made his final cut in the Cornell crew squad today, reducing the number of men to forty.

A Well Known maiM, Among the many namesakes of Thomas Jefferson is a colored man who for more than ten years has spent his time in humble but useful employment. He wheels ashes and rubbish of all sorts from the back doors of the houses in one of the districts of a New England town. He has learned through the servants in these houses many items of interest concerning his employers and their families, and has a decided belief in hi sown importance to their welfare. One day the head of on family went out into his back yard, and seeing the colored man at work over the ash barrel, said, affably: "Let's see. what's your name?" "Thomas Jeff'son, sah," waa the reply. "Ah:" said the gentleman. "I think I am quite sure I have heard that name before." "Yas. sah, mos' likely you is beard it," said the negro, showing his white teeth. "I's don shovel ashes an' wheel bar'ls out o' dis yer alley fo' de las' ten yeans." Youth's Companion. Ei 10 DESPEPSU Eat Your Favorite Food Without Any Fear of Distress.
