Thb Times Is able to announce that It has made arrangements with the Chicago Evening Post, which together with the New York Times, has offered a prize of $20,000 to the winner of a New York-Chicago aeroplane race, to receive bulletins every twenty minutes while the aeroplanes are in Lake, Porter and Laporte counties. These bulletins will tell the exact location of all of the eight aeroplanes which will be entered in the race and will report any accidents that might happen along the way. In view of the fact that the race starts at 3 o'clock in the afternoon and that Lake county will be passed by 5 o'clock or sooner, this service will be appreciated -by the waiting thou

sands who will try to see the race, j If the weather is propitious this race will prove to be one of the most ex

citing events In realm of sport. Mil

lions of people all of the way from

Chicago to New York will be anxious

to know just what progress is being

made. The task of staging this great event has been taken up by" two of the leading newspapers of the country and is

a gigantic one. Preparations will have to be made along every mile of the course from Chicago to the metropolis. It is expected that the race will have great scientific value, in that it will demonstrate the practcabillty of 'the aeroplane for long distance flying. Thb Times, the leading sporting authority of the Calumet region, could not overlook such an event and has accordingly made arrangements to give its readers the mott perfect service on this event that could be secured.

Twenty-five of the new locomotives are to be used for road work, while the others are to be used for switch Ing purposes. The engines are to be turned out by the American Locomotive company, and some of them will be put Into use this fall and the others as soon as they can be completed. This number of new engines will more than double the number that the company now has, It having twenty-eight of its own. v The need for the additional engines is apparent when it is remembered

WHIER'S RACER 110 STOP AI COURT HOUSE

Colonel LeGrand T. Meyer returned this morning from his two weeks' outing in the Rainy lake district, in Can

ada. His face was weather beaten from the wind and his hands calloused from handling the paddle. He says the pport was excellent, but the laws permit neither hunting of big game at this time, or the sending of game across the Canadian border. He and his guide came across many moose, some of them even larger than the big one he 'shot last year, and the head of which now adorns his office. Fishing is permitted, and one day they caught nearly a hundred pounds. During the two weeks' outing Colonel Meyer and his guide camped in a small tent, and made this their basis of operation. Their experiences were not without hazard. They went a distance of 100 miles on a lake in a birch canoe, and it was on this trip that they had a

narrow escape. . Their boat was loaded with vail it could carry and while so loaded a high wind came up which

rolled the waves to a height of four feet. Near where they camped was a deserted Indian camp. The Indians have a custom of saving the clavicle of an elk or moose and fastening it in the broken branches of a tree. One of these trees had eight sets, showing that the hunting thereabouts was good. For the time being Colonel Meyer says the life is one of hardship, but the experiences are treasure in the memory of the sportsman.

Dr. H. E. Sharrer, the Illustrious potentate of Orak ehrine, in Hammond, received a telegram from Fort Wayne today stating that the patrol of Orak

temple had won ; first prize In the

competitive dill, i

"This is the proudest moment of my life," said Sharrer, "to think that the boys could go, down to Fort Wayne and win the first prize In a drill in which many other old shrine patrola are engaged is a credit to the city and and its phrihe." ; And the most Interesting thing about the event Is the fact that the Ham

mond patrol has not been organized for

more than a month. In that time It was able to accomplish what it has taken other similar organizations years to achieve. : ' - The occasion of the drill was the Mardi Gras, which is being given under the auspices of Mizpah temple, In Fort Wayne. All of the costly floats which were used In. the Mardi Gras at New Orleans were shipped, to Fort Wayne and were utsed there.

Between twenty-five and thirty women, the neighbors of little Edna Hoin, who Is alleged to have been mistreated by Edward Winters, were so incensed

over the verdict of the jury in acquitting him that they paraded the streets in the vicinity of his place of residence last night and threatened to do him violence If he could be found. It appears, however, that he had been warned that there was to be a demonstration of the neighbors and for fear of being assailed left the city. For an hour or two the women paraded up and down the street vowing vengeance against the man whom, the law , fajled to reach. One woman Is said to have been armed with a revolver and declared that she would shoot Winters on sight. Neighbors Protest. All day long the neighbors called at the residence of Mrs. William Hoin, 854 Roosevelt street, and expressed their feelings over the acquittal of the defendant. Many of them declared that If the law could not reach Winters that they ought to take the law into their own hads. Then a demonstration was planned. The word was passed around that there would be an effort to "get" Win-

BIG TIE

TONIGHT

By a decision in the United States circuit court for southern New York the Simplex Railway Appliance company of Hammond won a notable victory yesterday against the Pressed Steel Car company. Judge Hazel of the United States circuit court in New York has rendered a decision that Carl E. Bauer of Hammond Is the original and sole inventor of the car bolster in question, on which infringement is claimed, and that property rights and patents now rest in the Simplex Railway Ap

pliance company. Mr. Bauer invented the bolster in 1896 and patented It In the following year The Pressed Steel Car company, seeing the advantages of this bolster and unable to improve upon it, four years ago set out to manufacture a similar one with but few changes. While the suit has been pending they continued the manufacture of the bol

ster, which they named the Reliance, j Because of the victory for the local

people, the defendants can now be compelled to make an accounting to the former for the profits that ,they made out of the imitation bolster. The report of the legal victory was news to Mr. Bauer until he was ap-

i prised of the fact by a Times' reporter.

He said he did not know whether the case would be appealed or not

Theodore Umrath. president of the Liberty Cow Milker Co. of Hammond, after spending ten days between Ham

mond and Chicago after his return from New Zealand, Australia and the Fiji Islands, left Hammond again this

morning for a similar trip.

in tne seven months that he was

gone, Mr. Umrath traveled 44.000 miles

and by the first of the year expects to

have completed 100,000 miles. He left this morning for the state fair at Springfield, 111., for a demonstration

of the Liberty Cow milker and goes from there to St. Louis and back to Detroit, via Chicago. From Detroit he goes to Buffalo. N. Y., and New York city. Leaving New York he will go directly to London, and then to Berlin, Vienna and down the Iberian peninsula, thence through the Mediterranean sea, the Suez canal and the Red sea back to Australia and New Zealand. While Mr. Umrath is traveling mainly in the interests of the Liberty Cow Milker, he has in addition the agency for a big line of machinery, such as gasoline engines, motors, automobiles, auto trucks, mining machinery and others. Mr. Umrath said that he met an

agent for the Overland Automobile Co. 1 in New Zealand who sold 200 auto- i

mobiles to one garage owner and agent alone and that the machines sold there for $2,000, whereas in' tbis country they sold for ?1,000.

That Hammond's credit Is on1-a par with any -eity or state in the country was demonstrated when the bids were opened today for the $70,000 bond Issue which the city council authdrized two weeks ago. The bonds pay 4 per cent interest, payable semi-annually. Joseph T. Elliott & Sons of Indianapolis were- the successful bidders, their bid having been $71,766.65 In proportion this premium was as high as the one offered three weeks ago for a New York state bond issue. The Citizens' National bank of Hammond was the second highest bidder, its bid having been $71,725. The bid includes the printing of the bonds. The other bids submitted were as follows: J Indiana Trust Co., Indianapolis $70,502.00
