Happenings of a Day In Luke County's Lively Capital

SHUCKS Prom the Diary of Si. Lence Baker f Squdgevine hez a durn handy-like sign in his place. It sez: "Bo well bred enuf not t" loaf around ef ' ain't got no dough." Hek Ppence sez th' best apple shown f th' county fair this year'll hev to be a pippin. The city council will meet tonight for the second meeting under the new regime and several Important questions and measures will be brought for their consideration. The councilmen are breaking Into harness well and expect In a few more meetings to have the machinery going without a hitch. The salary question and the appointment of one or more officials will probably be determined tonight. The state law requiring every one gaining an elective office to give a verified statement of campaign expenditures, and a statement regarding the promises made with the Intention, of .securing votes, hits even a poor councilman with a salary of $30 per year. They are required to file an affidavit showing their campaign expenses and to tell in whole measure the promise of money, position or power was responsible In securing their office, if any such was made. The Lyric theater closed its doors last evening for the balance' of the week and will not open again until Saturday evening. The entire Lyric force, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs Fred Wheeler, leave today for a week's . camping trip on the Kankakee river. There is some talk of transferring the council chambers from the present town hall to the assembly room In the courthouse basement. "With the additional members In the council the town hall quarters are too small and prove Inadequate to seat the attendance. The deal for the room has not been completed as yet, but as a change is necessary it is said that the committee appointed look with favor on the change. The assembly room will be in close proximity Jto the courthouse vaults and will be handy to keep city records, no place ECZEMA One of the Most Stubborn and'Aa noying of all Skin Trouble, Now --Being -Eradicated Vy Sulf ospL The word Eczema metna "to boll out."

at the city hall at present being adequate or strong enough for their secure keeping. Crown Point and the better class of East Chicago fans were disgusted with the umpiring of Mann at the ball game yesterday, and pressure will be brought to bear by some to Induce the management to withdraw from the leacue.

Developments of an interesting nature are expected within the next few days and It may be possible to show that there was a pretty good reason for the adverse decision cf Mann's In the fourth Inning. Manager Kelser will protest the game, starting proceedings today. The funeral of Nicholas Gard. who died in the Hammond hospital from the results of an operation for appendicitis, will be buried this afternoon in a vault provided for his Interment. Mr. Gard was about 60 years of age and was well and favorably known In Lake county and a prosperous farmer in this vicinity previous to his demise. Mr. and Mrs. John Daily and Mr. and Mrs. Frank Dally t-pent yesterday with the Haywards on Main street. The children of George Hack of Chicago have been spending a few days with, relatives here. Yesterday was a big day for automoblllsts and hundreds of machines passed through town to and fro from the lake. Work on the new Leroy school house is being rushed to completion and will be near finished when the school year starts. Crown Point, Ind., July 10. Crown Point lost to Fast Chicago yesterday at the local ball park by a score of 5 to 2. If the East Chicago team or the fans which accompanied the players can get any satisfaction out of the way In which the vic'ory was handed them they are perfectly welcome to it. Umpire Mann kept up his reputation of handing all the poor; things in his possession to Crown Point) and in the fourth inning of yesterday's game capped the climax with one of the rankest and rawest decisions ever called on a diamond. Grimes for East Chicago laid down a pretty bunt, forc ing Brading to second, but the East; Chicago centerfielder was caught a mile on the forced run by Smith of Crown Point. Mann called him safe and In the face of the raw deal the locals lost their fighting edge for the balance of the inning and four runs were netted the East Chicago team before the Crown Point players recovered from the effects. Crown Point fans will not stand for Mann's umpiring again and Manager Keiser will no doubt protest yesterday's game, the first protest Crown Point has entered this year. East Chlcaga fans who saw the play gave their opinion that Brading was easily out and took little satisfaction In the victory given their team. In the ninth inning Gorman also ran Into a bunt oft his bat, but was called safe by Long. As Gorman was directly In front of Long when the play was made some leniency can be given this um pire, as he probably did not see the Interference with the ball, which was palpably clear to the crowd in the bleachers. Brading for East Chicago made a sensational somersault catch of a skyscraper from Melscheimer's bat, robbing him of a pretty hit. The game from the side lines was as follows: East Chicago, first Garner to Gratwick. Beech hits to . left field, Pederson to Smith, TJllman to Melscheimer. Crown Point Gratwick to Beech, who muffs easy pop-up, landing him on first. Schmidt sacrifices Gratwick to second, Melscheimer sacrifices Grat wick to third.

ments. As it now stands it is aimed to have the park entrance moved to

Eleventh avenue and this will mean that the park will be considerably enlarged. Where Thirteenth avenue cuts through now it Is planned to build a midway. The lake will be dredged and chutes erected there. A new ride will be built reaching from the main entrance out into the picnic grove and back, and numerous other big features will be added. In speaking of the coming: Improvements Manager Berry said: "We feel that we have accomplished a great deal this season, but we are only in our Infancy, as is Gary itself. It takes time and we are here on the ground floor where we can build up and expand and make the pary commensurate with the needs of the Calumet region. "Next year there will be many improvements. The year after that more, and so on and on. We are deeply gratified with the patronage we have so far received, and feel that Gary has been loyal to us and to the park within her own gates." T AT E Indiana Harbor, Ind., July 10. Three attempts to enter the house at 3512 Deodar street Saturday night were made by John Symanovsky who lives two doors from the house he attempted to enter. On the two first occasions the burglar was frightened away and on the third attempt the young son of the man who lives at 3512 and whose name the police did not learn, struck at the Intruder with a broom; scratching his face. The marks on his face served to Identify Symanovsky to the police when they searched the neighborhood for suspicious characters. It is believed Symanovsky is mentally unbalanced. The first attempt occurred at 9:30 in the evening. Hearing a noise members of the family went to Investigate and they saw a man running away. An hour later the sounds were repeated and again the man was frightened away by the approach of some member of tho family. Still later on hearing a repetition of the sounds, the young son of the family living there discovered Symanovsky in the act of removing the scre.-n trom a front wmaow. jie nai his head and shoulders in the opening and It was then that the boy attacked him with the broom. The man was later found lying in the yard of the ad joining house. HUSBAND TRIES TO KILL HIS WIFE (Continued from Page D Mrs. Melter would not consent, so Meiter whipped out a revolver and fired shot at his wife. The shot missed and struck the floor. Mrs. Meiter turned and fled, but the infuriated man followed her into the next rooom, and emptied another cham ber of his revolver as he did so. This also went wild, and at that moment boarder who was lying on a couch in the adjoining rooom Jumped up adn struck the weapon from Melter's hand Mrs. Melter sped through the house and over to the police station, where she told Chief McCormack and Sergean Barker of the assault. They Jumped into the buggy, and, with Melter in the seat with them, they started out to look up the man. In the meantime the boarder had secured the revolver nd hidden it from Meiter, and the latter "had started from the house to get a car to take him ou of town. The boarder went with him however, and near the Oriental hotel invited Melter to take a drink, thinking by this means to give the police fur ther time to gettheir man. The invita tlon was acceptedVnd the police and Mrs. Melter came into sight Just in time to spy the pair as they entered the saloon Sergeant Barker entered the saloon by one door and Chief McCormack by the other, covered Meiter with their revolvers and ordered him to throw up his hands. He was arrested and arraigned before Judge Riley, who held him in bonds of $1,000 to await trial tomorrow morning. The couple'llved In Ohio until about six months ago, when, according to Mrs. Melter's story, Peter asked her to leav ehim and gave her some money to do fo. Later he evidently repented of his decision, followed his wit to Indiana Harbor, and had her arrested on a statutory charge, naming the boarder, who was Instrumental in saving her life Saturday, as accessory. Mrs. Melter was acquitted before Judge Klley, and Melter went to St. Louts, remaining there until Friday when he left for Indiana Harbor with the avowed intention of shooting his wife, but that the gun was accidentally discharged.

BUSINESS (Special to The Times.) Indiana Harbor, Ind., July 10. Every body is holding his breath in East Chi cago and Indiana Harbor, awaitintr the momentous base-ball game of Wednesday afternoon, when the business men of both sides of th twin cities will at tire tnemselves in battle array and fight it out for the honor of their respective towns. The personnel of the rival teams is to be shrouded in mystery until the eve of the great day. This policy is being pur sued for several reasons. In the first place the captains of the rival teams, josepn naruey or Kast Chicago and A. t. Lundciuist of Indiana Hai-hnr re gard each other with a degree of suspicions. They are not sure but what tneir rivals might concoct a deep and dark plot to do away with their star player If identity of the players was too early dlsclcsed. It would be a sad thin if the captains and their merry men awoke the morning of the great day only to find that one of their number had been foully kidnaped, and as both captains are known to be men of desperate purpose such action might be looked for on either side. The gate receipts are expected to b enormous. This for the double reason that some star playing which Is llnb'. to lose East Chicago and Indiana Har nor a few business m-n to the malor leagues, sc to be witnessed, and be cause the proceeds are to go to the unit ed charities. A few arguments have been indulged in between adherents of the rival teams, but no blood has yet lxen shed. The police have Issued me order that if two people are found eating each other up on account of the game, to arrest them forthwith. Kven should It be the managers of the teams. "Spare neither age nor sex nor weight. And no condition spare." Is Chief McCormack's order. This order together with the swearing In of special deputies to guard the persons of the umpires.
