THE TIMES.

HOT ROAST FOR GARY BY SPORTING EXPERT

By Kd. W. Smith. They broke loose agrain down Gary way the other night with a glov contest that was pronounced a dlsgrrace to the town. The worst part of it was that the police stepped In vigorously to save a negro fighter who happened to be the pet of one of the promoters of the hideous affair, the promoter himself being a man of color who boasts of plenty of "protection" In the steel city. The contestants in the battle were Cleve Hawkins, a colored light heavyweight who has been in Chicago for some time, and Ralph Calaway. another black who hails from the Pacific Coast, but who claims to be a boxer of wide experience, having met such men as "Sam tangford, Jim Barry and the like He was backed by Billy Piper, a former lightweight boxer and now a poolroom keeper in Gary. Piper was one of the promoters of the affair. Hawkins outclassed Callaway hopelessly right from the start and knocked Jiis man out in the first round. But the referee, Qle Olson, another old time lightweight boxer, didn't finish the count, as Callaway's seconds Jumpt-d Into the ring, followed by four policemen, and hustled Hawkins about. Cleve went to his chair and from that poliu 'demanded a decision. He was threatened by the police with Immediate arrest if he "didn't behave" and then 'Callaway was picked up and brought to.

The rounds were cut short thereafter always to save Callaway, who was groggy In every round. It finally ended in the sixth. . The bout was cut down from ten to six rounds becauso of the smallness of the house. Hawkins was guaranteed $200 but finally was browbeaten down to $100 and when he came to collect that found only $75. By the time he had paid all of - his expenses he had the price of breakfast when he returned to Chicago. The shortage in the money tiey took in about $260 recalls the fact that Harry Singer, a young Chicago boxer who appeared in one of the preliminaries to the recent ill-starred M:-Goorty-Mahoney contest In Gary, has not yet received his money. He was a substitute boxer and put up an excellent contest. He was promised $25 and went on in good faith. The promoters, one Hamilton of Gary and Healy, a Chlcagoan from the South Side, have promised him his money often, but

; have failed to make good.

j Patsy Callahan, manager of Eddie J McGoorty, was "shorted" in his money, I and during the proceedings a check upj on which payment was stopped figured . in the deal. This check was given out ' n f ttlo f n n rl , nf a lornt nnranlvatlnn

75 CASES FILED BY ATTORNEYS (Continued from Page l.

-the rest of the day to file these cases it will be impossible to give a resume of the contents of each complaint until then. Mike Carlson has brought an action against the Illinois Steel Co. to recover $5,000 damages which he alleges is due ias a result of injury that has been done him by slanderous stiUtnent alleged to have been made about him. According to the complaint on May 11, 1911, a notation was made on a lip of paper to the following effect, "Mike Carlson was an accomplice in stealing a watch." It is this statement that Carlson says Is slanderous and which he believes has damaged him to such a great extent. This case was filed by Attorneys Harris, Bretsch and Ressler of Gary. The same attorneys filed a case in which Walter C. Vankern seeks $4,000 damages from the Gary & Interurban railroad on account of injuries to himself. It Is alleged that on June 26, 1911 : the company was building a line to

.Ambridge and that a wire was carelessly left stretched across the street. This wire overturned the buggy and the occupants were thrown out and injured. Vankern claims that he has been incapacitated for work. That he was a skilled workman capable of earning $4 a day wherefore he asks $.- 000 damages on account of his own

injuries and $200 on account of the loss of the horse. In another complaint Louisa Harris has brought a nactlon against the Gary & Interurban on account of ininjuries she is alleged to have received a short time ago when she attempted to board a car and the conductor started it so quickly that she was thrown to the pavement and sustained a fracture of the pelvic boneShe says that a white woman got on the car just before she attempted to and the fact that she is a negro caused the action of the conductor in starting the car so quickly that she was thrown to the pavement. She claims she spent $100 in doctor's fees and has been damaged to tie extent of $5,000Michael J. Levinson has brought an action against the city of Gary through Attorneys Harris, Bretsch & Ressler on account of an Injury that was caused by his falling into an excavation.

The rates In other cities are: Anderson 120.1; Muncie 62.4; Richmond 49.2; Hammond 143.4; New Albany 101.8; Lafayette 89.6; Marlon 77.4; Elkhart 15.5; Logansport 63; Michigan City 136.6; Kokomo 88.1; Vincennes 67.2; Mishawaka 163.2; Elwood 163.2; Peru 27.3; Laporte 45.7; Jeffersonvllle 147.5; Newcastle 190.6; Wabash 163.6; Clinton 272.9; Linton 220.1; Connersvillo 168; Lawrenceburg 101.8; Bedford 149; Auburn 153; Huntington 5S.4. These figures do not represent thj only damage by unclean dairymen, according to health board officials. They do not take Into account the victims of typhoid fever and tuberculosis, whose taking off is chargeable to the

unsanitary dairy. There is no way of

estimating their number but it is known to be great. Wholesale Murder. There is more proof tending to coo-

vlct unclean milk of this charge of wholesale murder. Above the age of

wo years the two year Intent mortality rate shows a marked falling off. When children quit an exclusive milk diet and begin eating solid foods their changes of continuing to live become many times greater. For instance only 190 children between the ages of two and five years fell victims to diarhoel diseases during 1910. Not in years have the " mortality

tables shown so many infant deaths

from bad milk causes as were reported last year. In 1909 the victims number

ed 1,841, or 67.3 per 100,000, as against

o.7 per 100,000 population Jast year. The year 1909 was even less fatal to

infants, the number under .two years dying of diarrhoea and enteritis being 1,635, or 59.8 per 100,000. The number

of deaths in 1907 was 1,639. Rate Is Increasing. In 1909 the entire number of persons

of all ages over two years who died of

dlarrhoel diseases was only 598, or 20.2 for each 100,000 population. In 1903

only 544 persons over two years of age

died or similar affections and in 1907 the number was 5S6. ' Previous to 1907 . the deaths from diarhoel disease were separated be-

twen persons of under five years and of

Ave years and-over. In 1906 the deaths of persons under live years numbered 1,938 and over five years 327. July, August, September and October are the months In which Impure milk and bad food does Its deadly work. For the last ten years an average of 49S babies under two years of age died of dlarrhoel diseases every August In Indiana. The average for July is 398, for September 345 and for October 176. Easy to Regulate. "Enforcement of the pure food laws now a sanitary question," said Dr. W. F. King, assistant secretary of the state board of health. "The adulteration of food stuffs is easy to regulate and has practically ceased. Now the problem is to prevent the sale of foods that carry sickness and death with them. Unclean food is many times more dangerous to the public health than adulterated food and while the latter hits our pocketbooks the former affects our health and even our lives."

TOWN CLERK now READYfOR NOOSE Matrimonial Lassoers Are Notified That Here's Fat Chance.

According to cable advices from Miller Town Clerk Mike Zelibor has had a stroke of good luck that places him in a peculiar position. From meagre details it is gleaned that Zelibor, who is a handsome bachelor, has been the recipient of $20.0 worth of furniture which he won as the result of some sort of contest. With $200 worth of furniture on his hands the town clerk, who always has been considered the most eligible bachelor in Miller, is now in the center of the limelight. Many a fair maiden sighs as Mike strides around the well lighted lanes of Miller town, but as yet he has given no Indication that he is going to take a wife to take care of the furniture. Some time ago it was said that the town clerk was to be married to a Hobart belle, but the atory Went with time and was forgotten.
