Contests Both Off.
The baseball game between the city hall officials and the bankers will not
be held this afternoon on account of
the hot weather.
Clarence Jewitt also said he would not race John Kamradt this afternoon, as he had enough trouble keeping cool
without running foot races in this kind
of weather.
The bankers think Manager Fried
man the city hall team has cold Teet, but Friedman wants them to know he hasn't. The game will probably be
played in the future.
Business Slack There.
The McElroy Belting & Hose Co. is
feeling the industrial inactivity in view of the fact that its product is sold largely to the manufacturer.
The company is running a good-sized
force, but business is slack. The Reid-
j Murdoch company is looking forward
to the fruit canning season. Strawber
ries will come in in about a week, and
a numoer 01 picxers win ue neeueu 19
prepare the fruit.
Case Again Deferred.
The case of Morris Croak, which was taken under legal advisement, . was
postponed this morning until Monday
morning.
xnere are sun several legal ques
tions that have come up in the 'case that seem hard to solve, and Judge Barnett postponed the rase until he
could And time to look the matter up.
Attorney Conroy acted for Croak.
Crowd Going Thence.
The Rev. diaries Keyser, formerly
assistant to the Rev. H. M. Plaster of
St. Joseph's Catholic church,' will have a big day in his parish in North Judson tomorrow, the occasion being the dedication of a new church which was built during his pastorate. A number of the Hammond Foresters expect to
go to North Judson tomorrow to assist
in the exercises. Barnle Toung leaves
this evening to assist in the musical
program for the day.
The meeting of the Gary city council next Monday night is destined to be
an important one as a number of matters on which legislation has been de- I layed are to be acted upon one of these being the bond issue of $50,000 asked by the board of public safety for the purchase of the site for the new south side fire station, the construction of the building and its equipment. It is also rumored that an ordinance will be introduced Monday night to again create the office of city controller which was established several months ago when Alderman M. N. Castleman was at the leader of the Insurgent council. It is said that Mayor Knotts has been working among the republican councllmen for several days past to again create the office of city controller so that in case of his death
or removal from office from any cause the appointed controller would take his place as mayor. Just how much credence can be given the report is not known but it has been a topic of general conversation at the city hall for some time. The Gary park board will also ask the council for an appropriation of $7,075 for the purchase of four and one-half acres of ground between Thir teenth and Fourteenth avenue and Madison and Jackson streets adjoining the Froebel school building which will be used as a south side playground.
