There were some who, when he asked the crowd to keep quiet because he was so nervous, had their sympathies touched, and every time he miscued felt sorry for the poor fellow, when the bystanders laughed. Then It was the otld story: On the last game the "farmer boy" got desper

If the crowd had'nt grown suspicious

The Young Men's Tailors MAKERS OP RNE CLOTHES
A flat refusal to grant uncondition
ally an increase in wages to the Chi
cago switchmen affiliated with the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen was
given on Saturday by the railroads in
volved in the dispute.
The railroads involved in the con
troversy operating In Lake county are
the Elgin, Joliet and Eastern; Erie;
Indiana Harbor, Monon, Wabash, Balti
more and Ohio, Chicago Junction, Belt
Line, Nlckle Plate, Pennsylvania and Grand Trunk. Nearly 4,000 switchmen
In the Chicago terminal yards only are
involved in the present controversy.
The conference between the general
managers' committee and the . repre
sentatives of the switchmen held during the last two weeks terminated on Saturday afternoon with an qffer on
the part of the railroads to submit the controversy to arbitration under the
Eidman ac. !
In a final reply made by the switch- '
men's representatives It was stated that the dispute "has not yet reached the point where it is necessary to invoke mediation and arbitration." The
result of the refusal of the roads, however, will be the taking of a strike vote. Vice President F. A. Whitney of the union, after dispatching his flral reply to the proposition of the railroads, ordered the referendum ballots printed and made preparations for taking the strike vote. Voting is said to have begun yesterday and it is probable that all the return swill be in by tonight or tomorrow. The ballots are said to be so worded that the men have an opportunity to vote either In favor of a strike or for accepting the arbitration proposition of the railroads. While there is some talk among the radical element in fa
vor of a strike, It was stated that a
maiorj tx MLths ere. wl U take L a..carv servative attitude and vote for accepting arbitration. The men demanded an increase of 5
cent san hour over the present scales.
which amounted to a raise of about 35 per cent. In addition to wages, the men demanded changes and modifications of forty working rules. It was virtually established from the start of the conference that there would be no wage increase granted. Most of the time was taken up in discussing the rules and working conditions. Twenty-seven rules were adjusted by mutual concession, two more were withdrawn by the men, and the additional eleven rules remained in dispute at the termination of the conference.
(Special to Thb Times.) Indiana Harbor, Ind., Feb. 7. An Interesting social function is being planned by the Baptist Ladies' Aid so
ciety in the Welsh tea that is to be given March 1, St. David's day, when all good Welshmen celebrate In honor
of their patron saint. The tea is being planned along elab
orate lines, a picturesque feature being
the Welsh costumes which those participating In the serving will assume. The refreshments, too, will be dis
tinctively Welsh, fruitcake and cheese forming a conspicuous feature of the
menu.
A Welsh tea was given last year by

will be made for about 200 guests, who will be served at small tables, each
presided over by a special hostess who
will see to it that everybody gets
prompt and good service.
A number of committees have been
appointed to undertake the work of
preparation and to have charge of the
service, and the event will take place
in the basement of the Baptist church in Fir street. Mrs. John Ford Sr. has
been appointed chief tea maker and
she will have the assistance of Mrs,
Arthur Jenkins and Mrs. John Harvey
in making and serving the brew that
cheers but does r.bt intoxicate. Mrs
William Hulsh, together with Mes
dames C. P. Burdick, Wesley Wiseman
Thomas Perkir.i and' Winslow will serve in the Kitchen, while Mesdames
John Steven John Haywood, Philip
Thomas, Je sJes Gardner, White, Lu

Hammond. Indiana
Only seven applicants in Gary for
the position of census enumerators
puzzled over the different questions on
Saturday, and it most cases it required the applicants the full time of three hours alotted them fcefore they were through with the examination. " The examination ws held in the council chamber of the city hall. B. F. Ambre of the Gary postoffice was in general charge. All of the applicants were men and Americans. It was a general sprprlse in Gary that so few persons took the examination. The government pays from $3 to $4 per day for men and women employed in determining the population of the United States and other' things that go to make up a census. It was thought that a large number of persons in Gary would take the examination, as all nationalities might be represented - with the exception of the noncitizen Chinese. There are eight wards in Calumet township and Gary was the place selected by the census bureau for holding the examination. - Even if all the applicants who took the examination last Saturday are successful in passing there will be one enumerator short, as each enumerator has charge of a - ward.- -: . . .
TELEPHONE SERVICE EARNS ITS COST.
One business house in Chicago spends nearly $50,000 annually for telephone service. So anxious is this concern to encourage telephone orders that it has a standing order with the Chicago Telephone Company to install another line whenever a busy-signal is given a patron. Representatives of this house assert that there is a greater profit in a telephone order than in a sale over the counter. ' 1 proposes to keep its trade and not force orders to its competitors because of inadequate telephone facilities.
Every merchant and professional man will do well to study this statement carefully. It involves the logic of trade; and this same principle applies to any business; however small, if it depends upon orders from the public. There are hundreds of firms in Chicago that have from two to twelve lines. They know that telephone service pays for itself. They know that a busy-signal to a patron when he wishes to give his order, means that the order goes to a competitor. And the rule applies to every city, village or town. Patrons will not call over the telephone several times before giving their orders. Any merchant who believes they will, has not studied human nature. False economy has been the cause of many a business failure. Is it not false economy to discourage patronage merely to save the cost of a few cents in telephone rental ? Some merchants there be who try to do business on a party line. They never know when the other party is using the instrument and their patrons are forced to wait. One order might mean a week's rental on a single line, yet they take the chance then wonder why their competitors profit. Mark well this iaci it is not the merchant, it is the patron who gets the busy-signal. The merchant does not know when his patron tries to reach him, and is met with the busy signal. He may worry because his trade is at a standstill, or because it is diminishing and his own shortsightedness in not providing telephone service is the cause.

In this age of commercial rivalry it can be laid down as an axiom that'' any merchant who fails to provide, sufficient telephone facilities to serve his trade, is playing into the hands of his growing competitor who does realize the value of the telephone. CHICAGO TELEPHONE COMPANY,

These men are picked in all parts of the state and can be sent to any field that they may need them. Wants the, Services. Mr. Crollus mission in Indianapolis Is therefore to secure the services of two' of these men which he thinks would go over the matter of contract letting in the city more thoroughly than has been done heretofore. "With Governor Marshall backing the movement he feels confident that it will not be a whitewash movement either.
William C. Crolius, the well-known Gary democrat, has not yet dropped out of the political arena as evidenced by his activity of late in securing the selection of one of his followers, J. E. Grimes, as game warden. Following this the former mayor of Joliet will bring all his influence to bear in a bigger exploit for which purpose he left for Indianapolis last night. The purpose of the trip was mainly another interview with the . governor with the avowed purpose of having the books, accounts and contracts, in fact, every act done by the previous town board of Gary reaudited from the time that Gary was founded and placed under their rule. He Is Distrustful.
Mr. Crollus seems to have a matur-
ally distrustful nature as far as mat
ters involving the local administration are concerned, and he shows no diso-
positin to let anything get by him. He
believes that several of the contracts
let by the administration at least
look bad, and also that the firm of auditors employed to audit the books might have made mistakes or failed to make their investigations as thorough as possible. As stated in Thb Times a few days ago, a new law has been passed in which the system of public auditing

CAUSES SCRAP
Another annexation fight has been reported in Tolleston, this being between two prominent men of Tolleston and which has resulted seriously, especially for one of the principals, Fred
Waldron. the Tolleston real estate man. The other participant was Albert Ilecker, brother of former Town Trustee Ilecker, and who is alleged to have assaulted his adversary. As a result of the combat Waldron lies In bed in the Victoria hotel with a severe scalp wound from which he will probably be incapacitated for work for some time, and Hecker has been arrested on a warrant issued from the circuit court at Crown Point and is out on bail. The Hecker interests are opposed to
annexation for the same reason that Town President W. S. Gallagher is, namely, to preserve his Job on the town board. The brothers seem very belligerant in the opposition to annexation, this being the second serlcus fight in which they have been Identified. The story of the affair has been gleaned from what' each man had to say about It, there being no witnesses. The conflict started about 10:30 Sunday morning at the corner, of Main street and Borman boulevard. Waldron's friends, claim that he was struck by Hecker with an Instrument, but Hecker says, on the contrary, that he used merely his first. Those that are impartial, however, cannot see how a scalp .wound could have 5een inflicted

Luckily the bullet flew wide of its mark, doing no harm to any one.

Failing to find any he finally went back home. Marshal Taylor was sick, so Vonish wa not molested until Sunday, when Sheriff Grant of Crown Point came up to take care of him.

Sheriff Grant was not long in convincing him that ' Crown Point would be a much better place for him, and he was accordingly taken away on the Erie milk train last evening.

His family consists of a daughter, Helen, the mother, who is greatly bereaved, and will remain at the home of John Miller for the present.
