East Chicago Superintendent to Attend Meeting at V ' Indianapolis.

(Special to Thb Times.) East Chicago, Ind., Feb. 26. Superln.

evening i tenden$ of Schools E. N. Canine left

this morning for Crawfordsvllle, Ind.. his old home, to spend Sunday, en route to the national convention of school superintendents, which will be In session all week in Indianapolis. Superintendent Canine spent last night in Crown Point, where he went to attend the debate between the Crown Point and the East Chicago high school on "Woman's Suffrage, which took place at the county seat during the evening, and he went direct to Crawfordsvllle from there. . The National School Superintendents' Association is a body of much importance in the educational world, and Indiana superintendents consider themselves fortunate in having the convention in their home state, which makes it possible for many of them to attend

who otherwise, if-the body assembled

in some distant point, might not fee that they could spare the time nor incur the expense incident to the trip. A number of Lake county school superintendents are availing themselves of the gathering, among those who will attend being Superintendents McDanlel of Hammond and Wirt of Gary. The educators anticipate an enjoyable time as well as much benefit from the convention, and expect to come home with many new ideas for the improvement of their school systems. A number of occasions for social as well as intellectual get-togethers have been arranged by the committee having this feature of the convention in charge, and these events will serve ta relieve what might otherwise be monotony in the proceedings.

John Ihia, a Roumanian, 30 years old, was asphyxiated Thursday afternoon in the Indiana Steel company's works', and the inquest was held over the remains yesterday afternoon by Deputy Coroner E. R. Gordon of Hobart. The man was found dead in the vicinijty of one of the furnaces. The testimony brought out . at the Inquest revealed the peculiar fact that gas overcomes the foreigners and kills them frequently before they know what is the matter with them, according to a mill foreman, who testified in the case yesterday. In the case of this victim, which is similar to others, the men get a whiff of the gas and become drowsy and have a slight headache. Not knowing that they are becoming sick they generally lay down wherever they may be until the gas either clears away' or kills them. Yesterday there was a leak In one of the gas mains near a furnace, caused by the jar prying loose one of the joints of the main. A gangof men were at work repairing the main as

rapidly as possible, but the victim of the gas was some distance away and had nothing to do with the repair work. lhai suddenly got a smell of the gas as he was doing manual labor In the vicinity, and, as usual, instead of getting, out of the way. like a person would ordinarily, he is thought to have laid down until he gradually suffocated. A few minutes later he was found dead. . . . The body was taken to Jones morgue, and it will be buried by a number of his friends in the Tolleston cemetery. The victim had a wife In the old country, but no relatives about

Following the unconditional release of

a campaign to secure the former star

as leader of his club. Higgins was among those present last night when the Sox special pulled away from the

La Salle street depot. He declined to affirm or deny the report, although he admitted the Identity of the new manager would be known tonight.

GLEASOd AfJD R1CKARD , if ROW OVER FIGHT

San Rrancisco, Feb. 26. Prize ring gossip has it that the relations between Tex Rickard and Jack Gleason. copartners in staging the Jeff ries-Johnson fight, are strained to the breaking, and that unless arbitartion is resorted to within the next few days serious complications will result. The trouble is said to have started a few days ago when Rickard held a secret conference with Louis , Blot, the local fight promoter, and started negotiations for holding the fight in San' Francisco -without consulting Gleason.

The local man is said to have been much

offended at the oversight. He made no secret of his displeasure and remarks were passed which did not have a tendency to smooth the ruffled waters. How it will all end is a matter of conjecture. Gleason declares that with Sam Berger back of him Rickard cannot pull off the fight without his (Gleason's) co-operation. Rickard, on the other hand, says he. is putting up the coin and does not purpose to be dictated to. Both men have strong supporters, and open warfare between them might prove disastrous so far as making San Francisco the battle ground Is concerned. The twenty round bout which will take place between Owen Moran and "Harlem' 'Tommy Murphy at Dreamland Monday night is attracting widespread interest. Both men--are conceded to be near champions and there is every reason to believe that the winner will be given an opportunity to engage Wolgast for the lightweight crown. Both men are training hard for the engagement. Moran today reported that he was down to weight, and Murphy is within a few ounces of the required notch. '
