1 GREAT GAI

(Special to Thb Times.) Indiana Harbor, Ind., July 14. The baseball game between tha business men of East Chicago and Indiana Harbor at the Harbor ball park yesterday afternoon was a success in every particular. There was a good crowd present, not quite so large however as had been expected, but the preponderance of . ladies in the audience proved an inspiration to the. players to do noble deeds upon the eld. Reports are not all in, but it is estimated the game netted fully $250. Nine full innings were played and th score was 12 to 8 in favor of East Chicago. It had been framed up by the umpires to have the game a tie, but their plans miscarried owing to th Introduction of some players not originally figured on who were not wlsa to the arrangements. Mack Foland, the East Chicago umpire in addition to the pad usually worn by umpires, wore a good sized pillow, having no desire to take a chance on being killed by a ball. Tom O'Connell "was satisfied with the usual equipment in the body shield line, but he encaseu his domo of thought In a large sized Alpine hat, which all but obliterated hl3 feature, leaving little but his chin visible. No injuries were recorded outside of quite a serious one to C. lfcvKlrk's feelings when Tom O'Connell ruled a few strikes on him, which in the opinion of that robust player should have "been classified as balls. Mr. Kirk left the field without assistance. Also Captain John Marner is handicapped in his duties this morning by a very lame arm, causpd by yanking fresh guys who got too personal in their comments, out of the grandstand and fining them for their impudence. It would be out of the question to name all of the good men and true who participated in the game, or who held themselves in reserve on the bench for such service. Most of the business men of both towns were to be- found among their numbers. The following is however the original line-up: East Chicago Williams, lb; Spencer, 3b; Clements, ss; Funkey. 2b; Fichter, c; Mier, p; Hale, cf; Ladd, rf, and Kirk, If. Indiana Harbor Robinson, lb; Barret, 2b; Struss. If; Hickman, p; Darter, c; Markey, ss; Dubbs, If; Lundqulst, cf; Sauer, rf. A feature Introduced by East Chicago, to the confusion of the enemy, was the introduction of a twelve year oli boy whom they called Simon, as catcher. Simon could play ball some, and he put it all over everybody else. However some of the men did noble and there was some first class plays made. The umpires found- Captain John

No disease ever comes without a 'cause. What is the cause of yours? t Many men bring on themselves the horrors of a life-long disease by unnatural habits, excesses or dissipation. Less common but sometimes the result of mental strain or business worry. No man so afflicted is free from daily incumberance. Mentally and physically he is not at his best. He therefore owes it to himself and to his family, to posterity and to society at large to consult a competent SPECIALIST and thus make the most of life and its infinata possibilities.

Marner of ' Invaluable assistance in maintaining their dignity. Captain Marner ejected any and all who had slurring remarks to make regarding their decisions, proving- himself no respecter of persons and deillng alike with prominent and the most humble of , the sassy fans. By this process of elimination he managed to collect $9.01 the one cent being accounted for In this wise. A very fresh citizen was led from the grand stand after saying perfectly horrid things about how things were being conducted. When frisked It wa found he had only 41 cents. Captain Marner, being a human man allowed him to retain 10 cents for care fare and conscated the remaining 31 cents. Ha thought the one cent might coma In handy in buying a postal card for a notice to halo a member of the United Charities to a meeting next winter. . Another example of Captain Marner's business acumen was noted when he spied Julius Friedman's driver and a Companion standing up in their wagon Just outside the fence, and pausing1 to watch the game. Captain Marner promptly sallied forth to the wagon and made the men dig up the price of admission, intimating that the ball game was no free show. Thus by the sweat of his brow, did Capt. Marner realize the $9.01. One hundred and fifty dollars was realized by the sale of boxes and the gate receipts $23.70. The report from the young ladies who have had the task of selling tickets In advance is not yet In and until it is made the exact amount of the prots will not be known. The holders of boxes and the price they paid for the same, the boxes having been disposed of by auction, are as follows: Inland Steel company. $50. Universal Portland Cement Co., $20. , Citizens Trust & Savings bank, $10. First National Bank of East Chicago, $10. Indiana Harbor State Bank. 10. Indiana Trust and Savings Bank, $10. East Chicago Company, $10. First Calumet Trust and Savings bank. $10. East Chicago Bank. $5. E. E. Dubbs. $5. C. E. Burdlck, $5. W. R. rMamond, $5 A G. Lundqulst, $5. The United Charities wished to express thanks to the Central Drug store and Nassau and Thompson for furnishing supplies for the game, the East Chicago Globe for posters, the Indiana Harbor Sentinel for tickets and The Times for advertising. Also the Gem, Pictureland and Family theatres for advertising the game by means of slides, and the girls who sold tickets. Mrs. Charles Egbert. Miss Florence Lewis. C. P.. Burdlck and E. N. Canine have been indefatigable in working to make the event a success as have also both the captains Joseph Hartley and A. G. Lundqulst. TWO WANT TO J THROW SHACKLES. Continued from Page !.

hungry eye toward its neighbor Schererville. That was all that was reeded to set the ball rolling In the town on the Panhandle and from there it naturally drifted into St. John. Would Have Home Rule. In both communities the scheme has the usual amount of opposition which develop as soon as a new Idea is promulgated, the stock argument of the opposition being that the taxes would be raised. Without admitting that statement as a fact, the town boosters; cite the many advantages that grow out of a government for a community. At the most they say the tax would be only a few cents higher than the township, and for this the community in reiuru would be placed on the map as a corporation which conducts its own afTalrs to the advantage of the community and not to the township at large. The incorporated town conducts its own school affairs and maintains a school board. Another great advantage that it argued in favor of the incorporation and one that will sooner or later be a burning question in the communities is the question of granting franchises to intcrurban and other corporations. Unless these towns are Incorporated, tne corporations seeking right of way secure their permission from the county commissioners without being responsible to the unincorporated towns. Under those circumstances an interurban running through either one of these towns could stop Its cars when and where It pleased, and even lay its track subject, to the will of the county commissioners without taking into consideration the wishes, of the people. Were the towns incorporated however, the town board could dictate the terms to the interurban, or what ever corporation is seeking a franchise. Could pend Money at Home. Money now collected for street repairs may be sent in an entirely different part of the township, whereas under tho town government the money would be spent by the people who raise it. The tin-incorporated settlements must rely on the county sheriff for their protection, whereas the neighboring communities who are Incorporated are maintaining law and order v. ith the assistance of

ja town marshall. ! A canvass of the towns who have

witnin the past feM years adopted the town form of frevrrnment In Lake county shows that none of them would willingly go back to theli o'd situations. The town of Munster for instance which went through all the pains and groans incident to incorporation is satisfied today, and those who were nursing ths high tax bogy find that they are paying only fifteen cents more than they would have to pay the township.

2 HAMMOND MEN ARE ACCUSED ' OF TAKING BRIBE. (Continued from Page 1.)

of Judge Kenesaw Landis, under whom the case Is being tried. The sorry story of a betrayal of the United States government' was dragged from unwilling witnesses yesterday by Judge Kenesaw M. Landis In the United States district court. Two grand jurors had violated their

oath not to reveal what was going on within the errand Jury room. The Jurymen wera duped into revealing virtually all proceedings of the Investigation to a revenue officer. The revenue man. In turn. Informed at least all the three other revenue officers Indicted on tha charge of accepting bribes from oleo dealers. The betrayed grand Jury during the day returned indictments against three revenue officers and twenty-three Indictments against men engaged in the oleomargarine Industry. In addition, two Indictments, suppressed by the order of the United States district attorney, were also returned. It was reported around the government building that the two suppressed bills probably would throw light on the crtmlnai Jury tampering. Alleged Bribe Taken Announced. The three indicted ofneers are charged with having accepted bribes for Influencing their action In the ' enforcement of the oleomargarine law. They are: Frank P. Caviezel, revenue agent, Indianapolis, Ind., nine counts. C. L Larue, former deputy revenue collector, Hammond, Ind., one count. Harry Oldam, special agent, revenue department, Hammond, Ind., one count. The revenue ofneers were indicted on testimony of members of the notorious oleomargarine gang with which the local federal officers have been battling for years. Most of the oleo gang are now serving terms In Fort Leavenworth. Oldam was the only one of the three present in court when the jury reported. In a statement to the papers he said the oleo convicts had conspired to disgrace him. It was said that the revenue ofneers will offer as their defense that the men whom they helped convict turned in vengeance against them with fabricated testimony of bribery. Indicted Revenue Man Trsttflea. Harry Oldam. one of the three reve nue ofneers indicted, was called by Assistant District Attorney Robert W. Childs, who has been In charge of the grand Jury oleo investigation. Oldam swore that he did iiot know of any list of indictments--, but said he had teen warned by Coyne on Sunday that he would be Indicted. Oldam added to the grand Jury traitors the name of Robert Peterson, member of the investigating body. Judge Landis was by this time bristling in his wrath, and when Oldam left the witness stand. Oldam took the witness stand again and added further bitterness to the discomfiture of Peterson, who by this time was blushing a brick red. Oldam told of meeting Cavtozel v'lojtly after the latter had talked to Peterson. He said that the revenue officer had boasted of "pumping Peterson dry." He said he had then met Peterson and warned him that he was In a bad fix. Briber Are Named. The indictment against Larue, who Is now out of the service, charges him with having received $100 from Joseph Wlrth and smaller amounts from William Schaefer and Elmer Rooney for the purpose Of Influencing him In connection with his enforcement of the oleomargarine law. Oldam Is -charged with receiving money from Edward Marhoefer. Frank Goll, Samuel -Driesback and - William Broadwell. The charge against the oleo men is that from the first day of August, 190S, until the first day of July. 1911, they conspired" to defraud the governmei.t out of a large amount of money, being the tax of 10 cents per pound upon a large quantity of oleomargat ine Bail was fixe3 at $10,v.00 for each of the indicted men. and bondsmen were kept busy during the afternoon signing their names to documents. An effort was made to reach Mr. La

rue in Hammond, but at his residence on Morton court members of his family said that he Is traveling for a whisky house and that he would probably be out of the city for several days. "I am his mother," said an old gray haired lady, "and I do not beMeve that he is guilty of the charges that have been made against him. Some time ago he raided a butterine factory in South Bend and ever since the owners of the factory have been after him." Information has reached this paper to the effect that government officers have been carefully watching certain butter dealers In Hammond who were suspected of mixing butterine with butter. Whether or not anything will develop remains to be seen.

Aaotfcer Robbery. According to Lieutenant McCaulay, Wagner, after looking over 1,500 pictures In the Rogues' Gallery picked ou. the photograph of "Spec" Moss, an exconvict, who was born and reared on tha West Side, as that of one of his three companions In the Tuesday ralj on the South Chicago Jewelry store. It la said that the Identification of Wagner as one of the men who entered the Jewelry store was made by Peter Marrln, a cjerk employed by Cole & Toung, who was forced Into a rear room with William Gibson, the manager, by the robbers. - , Wagner was booked for attempted robbery yesterday and will be arraigned on that charge. Late last night Lieutenant McCauley declared that he knew the names of all three men who were with Wagner In the raid on the South Chicago Jewelrystore, but he refused to disclose them. "Our detectives are close on them," he declared. "We expect to have them within a short time."

league It was agreed to pay so much for players and no more. This rule has long since been broken, it costing some of the North township city teams twite as much to put a team In the field as

j Crown Point. There seems to be no

limit as to what they will pay tor a good player and if every team Is obliged to compete with such tactics it is only a question of time when the league will be a .dead issue. As far as Crown Point Is concerned, the fans are perfectly . willing to win or lose with the team as It is. and if they win they will have the satisfaction of winning over teams, whose cost to put In the field Is two and three times that of Crown Point. The integrity of some of the umpires lias also been questioned, through the fact that several suspicious circumstances connected with their work has created a certain amount of distrust among the fans. The future success of the league depends upon the playing of square and fair baseball and it is up to the management of every team to see that thij Is done, without further delay.

According to C. P. Burton, of the Cooperative Construction company, which has built all of the lines of the Gary & Interurban Railway and the ChicagoNew York Air Line, the necessary links are soon to be built that will connect Hammond and Gary with East Gary and Laporte and alt of the other cities on branch and main lines of this system. In a communication to The Times Burton says: "You may be interested to know that we have ordered 600 tons of Bessemer steel rails, a car of track spikes, 15,000 ties and other material and supplies to be delivered as soon as possible at East Gary for the Immediate construction of an electric railway from Gary to East Gary. The steel rails were ordered from the Illinois Steel company. "It will not take long to lay this track after the material is on the ground, and Gary thus soon will. have what it seems to greatly desire, electric car service to the east. a We shall enter Gary on a private right of way and will connect with the Gary & Interurban at Broadway. "The Gary-East Gary line will be a part of what Is known as the Air Line system. The entire gap between Gary and Goodrum will be completed as soon as possible. It looks now as if this work would be finished by the close of the year, if not before. This will give Gary and the Calumet district electric car service to the resorts on Flint and Long Lakes, Valparaiso, Chesterton, Laporte, Goshen, the Michigan fruit belt, Winona Lake and Indianapolis.

"The building of this line will openj

to settlement from Gary the beautiful Deep river valley and will make Valparaiso, Chesterton, Porter and Laporte residential suburbs of Gary. It will give the people of the Calumet district easy access to one of the prettiest groups of lakes in the middle west. "Best of all, it will give them an unfailing supply of foodstuffs brought fresh each day from the gardens, dairies and fertile fields of Porter and Laporte counties."

A GAME WITH GARY TEAM Indiana Harbor, July 14. Inland officials will take an afternoon off tomorrow to witness a game between the Indiana Harbor Northern Indiana league team and the Gary Works team at Gary. The challenge to play was issued by the Gary Works team and the battle is expected to be a hard fought one. It will be the first game played on the steel company's grounds between Indiana Harbor - and the local team. Aside from the pitcher the Harbor lineup will be. the same as usual. Bud Evans, formerly of Whiting, will take this end of the Harbor battery for the occasion. Tha team will leave the Pennsylvania depot at 1:63, but It is expected that the bulk of the crowd of fans who will be on hand to root for them will go to Gary via the Lake Shore, leaving on the 2:38. It is understood that a large crowd will attend from the Harbor.
