The game of ball yesterday between Indiana Harbor and Hammond broke up In a row In the seventh Inning, with the score standing 5 to 3 In favor of Indiana Harbor. The visitors had scored one run Jn this inning and after the side had ' been retired and the
teams were exchanging places Pitcher j Croake of the Harbors and Umpire White were seen to be In a mix-up out near the pitcher's box. No one except the belligerents seemed to know what It was al labout and after a few blows had been exchanged the men were separated. White then ordered Croake out of the game and when the latter refused to go the umpire pulled out his watch and gave the Harbors Ave minutes to put' In another pitcher, and when they failed to comply with his order he forfeited the game to Hammond, 9 to 0. It was an unfortunate affair from all angles. According to Croake, White was the attacking party. He said that when they were (Continued on Page Seven.)
DATE CHOSEN FOR 'JOINT COMIOtl
Democratic Candidate For Representative, Lake and Newton, Named Sept. 9.
Dr. Charles Reign Scoville completed
his stay In this city with yesterday's services, which were the most successful in point of attendance and results of the series. In spite of the torrid August weather and the lure of the lake
and summer parks, 3,000 people drank In the two paramount "discourses of the eight delivered by the great evangelist. Seventy additions in one day is the record made by Scoville and he prophesied that if he were to continue for a fortnight 2,000 could be brought to Christianity. The morning sermon was a commentary upon the "Man of Sorrows."
From the account the minister held the temptations of the devil as a lesson to the converts. An original
thought, noteworthy for its historic value, was the kernel of the talk. It was a new and logical reason for the
prayer of Christ just before his death,
in which lie asks ' This cup may pass from Me." Scoville denied that Christ feared death. He said that the Master
was so weakened through the abuse of the Jews that he thought he might die before reaching Calvary, thus completely upsetting the plan of salvation. The aceount of the incident of the two days before the crucifixion were so dramatic that the audience was thrilled.

In the evening the lecture upon
Christian union was highly appreciated
and the crowd showed enthusiasm for the plan of "No name but Christ.' No plea but the gospel and no creed but the Bible." Dr. Scoville said, "The saloons jn Hammond are united, but the churches
stand separate. If the ward schools here each had an independent management what kind of an educational system would ,we have? The old third reader's story of the six blind men who attended a circcs and were for the first time in the presence of an elephant, was used as an illustration. On of the blind men felt of his side and said, "Why, he is like a wall." Another felt of a leg and remarked, "He is like a tree." The next grabbed the tail and cried, "He is like a rope." The last held the wiggling trunk and shouted,
tie is line a snake." Now the denominations, said Scoville, blinded by
their grandfather's prejudices, gave a
verse of Scripture and say, "This is the gospel. Friends we must throw aside all man-made creeds and unite upon the Bible alone if we wish to win the world for Christ."

Mulholland was arrested yesterday upon the street and, after spending a night in deep thought and slumber in a room of limited space, his democratic spirit of freedom was aroused. Acting as his own attorney, he endeavored to show how a drinker harms no one but himself, and is a boon to business. He emphasized personal liberty until Judge Earnett administered

regard to the offer was on Saturday night when a telegram came from Portland telling about it. Immediately the gossips got busy and the Democratic wire pullers began pulling. Interesting possibilities presented themselves. In case Aley should accept the offer and retire from the state ticket It would be up to the Democratic state
committee to put some man on in his place. Several names were talked of at once. Among them were those of Elmer G. Bunnell, the deputy state superintendent of public instruction, who ha.s been with Aley ever since he took the office; S. L. Scott, former superintendent of the Floyd county schools; Hervey Vories. of this city, and Charles Greathouse, also o this city, but formerly of Mt. Vernon. Greathouse was the nominee for the office a few yeors ago. There will probably be others whose names will be mentioned as pos
sibilities, also. Vories and Scott were candidates for the office two years ago when Aley was nominated, but Aley walked away with the prize. He was well known through
out the state by reason of the fact that he as professor of mathematics at Indiana University and editor of the Educator-Journal, published in this city. At the election he was elected over Lawrence McTurnan. the Republican candidate, by the narrow margin of 762 votes. He and Governor Marshall and Lieutenant Governor Hall were the only Democrats on the state that were elected in 1908. Bunnell formerly was county superintendent of schools In LaPorte county. When the news of the offer to Aley came Saturday night Bunnell said he did not know anything about Aley's plans, and he declined to say whether he would ak for the place on the ticket in case Aley should decide to accept the position In Maine. Another name that has been talked
j of for the place on the ticket Is that of
R. I. Hamilton, superintendent of the
; schools at Vincennes. He i,s one of the '.veteran educators of the state and has been president of the Indiana Teachers' ! Association, . the Southern : Indiana ' Teachers Association and a member of the board of trustees of Indiana University. Greathouse is a clever politician, but
he said some time ago that he was out of politics and that he had engaged In the grain business in this city. Whether he would accept the place to fill the prospective vacancy Is not known. It Is known that Governor Marshall has known for some time of the opportunity that has come to Aley to go to Maine but he said in a long distance conversation from Petosky. Mich., Sat
urday night, that he was not at liberty to discuss it. He said he did not know whether Aley would accept the place or not. The presidency of the University of Mains pays a salary of $5,000 a year, while the salary of the Indiana super
intendent of public instruction Is but $3,500. It has been suggested that even if Aley decides to accept the place In Maine he may not let it be known until after the election. If he should happen to be re-elected this fall he could then
resign and it would be up to Governor
Marshall to appoint some one to fill the office as his usccessor.
It is announced here that Senator
Beveridge is arranging to come home
within the next week or so from his vacation in the mountains in New Hampshire. It is known that he expects
to be here not later than the first of
September, and that he will immedlate-
lv start his campaign work, looking
after his organization and his fences.
He will not open his speaking campaign
however, until about September 20.
The place for h's opening speech has
not been selected. Reauests for
speeches by Senator Beveridge have been coming In from every part of the
state, the demand being much greater
than can be filled. It is said that Sena
tor Beveridge will not be able to speak
in more than about one half of the counties, however, and the difficulty will be to so arrange these speeches as
to get the best results.
There is als a heavy demand for speeches bv Charles TV. Fairbanks, who
announced recently that he would take part in the campaign. Just how many speeches he will make is not known, but It Is said at the Republican state headquarters that he will be asked to devote all the time to the campaign that he can possibly spare. The Republican speakers bureau, of which former state senator William E. Springer, of Elizahethtown, will be tJ chairman, will open within the next few days.
able situations in the play, especially in the last act, although the humor was in the nature of a burleques all of the way through. One feature of the play was the large amount of clog dancing. It is apparent that an effort is being made to cater to the general demand for dancing in musical attractions of this sort, but
there Is a little too much clog dancing and not enough of variety In tha
dances. '
It Js believed that Mr. Emery will be
able to tone down his shown until it
will be an excellent road attraction
and from all appearances, taking into
consideration the fact that last night was a first night, the company will be a success.

"AM 1 11 CHW PROVES SATISFACTORY Roy Emery's New Production Sampled by Hammond Polk.
Roy Emery's "Am I a Chinaman" made its debut in Hammond last evening after four weeks of rehearsals and, although there were many rough edges
to be worked off before the comedy will move along as smoothly as an old road show, the entertainment was a satisfactory one. Lew Sully, the well-known vaudeville artist, played the leading role and was a whole show himself. He was well supported by Alfred Kelcy, who was also a stellar atractlon. The music rendered by the chorus was excellent, but in the dances the ballet failed to show the abandon and vivacity that is expected of an older aggregation. There were many exceedingly laugh-

A strav horse wandered onto the
lawn of the Barney Borg residence on Sohl street, yesterday. The surroundings being satisfactory the animal, undaunted by the united remon

Apparently the animal is valuable

The case came up In Judges Ames' court.
GARY CITY DADS
A
VACATION
No Legislating Until Sept.
12; Report of Redisricting Committee Awaits.
Raise Good Sum. Over one hundred dollars was raised at the Mission festival held at St. Paul's Lutheran church yesterday. The afternoon and evening services were filled with special features. Revs. Shultz and Srhuessler and Prof. Zucker were the speakers. The chorus delivered a number of difficult selections and their excellence, due to thorough training, brought out many compliments.
There will be no meeting of the Gary
common council tonight and not until September 12 will the city fathers gather tolegislate. At that time Alderman Castleman as chairman of the redistricting committee will make his report that two more wards be added to Gary thus making seven with a total of nine aldermen. The plan under way included one ward for the Tolleston district and one for the exertme south end of the city.
Thus the first subdivision where more
fthan one-half the people of Gary re
side will have but two wards while the rest of the city will have five. It is highly probable that the redistricting report will not be accepted by the aldermen.
Concludes Vacation. Dr. T. W. Oberlin will go to Mansfield, Ohio this week to spend the remainder of his vacation with his family, who have been the guests of the E. M. Wolffs for some time.

Late this afternoon Henry Blissmer, a 16-year-old boy living with his parents at 450 West State street, was taken .to St. aMrgaret's hospital in the Charles Neidow ambulance, suffering from appendicitis.- The attack was unusually sudden, but Dr. Kelly, who Is to operate at once, has hopes of speedy recovery.
