SAYS EDITOR

IS T D. K. Boone, former prosecuting at torney of this district, was aeked r-. Bardlngr the report in the Gary Trl bune that he Intended to run for the Democratic nomination for prosecuting attorney. Boone said: "In the first place I could not run fast enough to get the demo crattp nomination. In the second place the democrats could not run fast enough to give me the nomination on that ticket and in the third place I would not be elected if I ran on the democratic ticket and so there you are." The editor of that Gary paper Is badly mixed on the politics of the county of he has me slated for the nom ination for prosecutor on the democrat ticket." Boone denies that he has been fostering a boom for the office of prosecuting attorney of the thirty-first Judicial district. He says that a number of his friends have approaehed'him on the matter but that he has not, said that he -would be a candidate. He stated that he did not know that he would be a candidate. CLERK SAYS NEW DATE WILL BE SET Opponents Compelled by Public Opinion to Sign Remonstrance. lgnats Minkowski, clerk of the vill age of West Hammond, staged today that he Is certain that the date for th city election will be set 4be meeting of the board next Thursday for the tMon that four of the six members of the board of trustees have signed the petition asking that the date tor the election be set. The opposition to the calling of the election dwindled under the critlclim tf this paper and when the trustees saw the large number of names on the peti tion. To maintain sthelr political prestige they were compelled to sign the petl tion the-mselves and in this way th setting of the date at the next meeting of the board seemed assured. The board of trustees will hold a special meeting tonight for the purpose of opening the bids on the construction of the wire line to Dolton over which the vllage expects to get electricity for light nd power at a. cheap rate.

SIX LEGGED BULL

CREATESJIVERSIOII "Flappy" Monnett Now in Line for a Carnegie Bull MedalExcitement of a different nature than has been seen in Hammond for a long time was witnessed by a large crowd of people at the H. A. A. baseball park yesterday afternoon when the six leggad bull formerly owned by a number of Hammond people fell into the swim ming tank. The six legged bull is now owned by Oliver North who lives In the Vicinity of the park. Vofcterday he took the animal over to the baseball gorunds to let it eat grass. A number of boys were splashing around in the tank and about 3:30 they noticed the animal come up to the edge of the tank to get a drink. Standing on the edge of the cement tank the bull lost Its balance and went over the side, making the swimmers scatter in all directions. A rescue party was organized, headed by "Flappy" Monnet the hero of the day who did the diving act of the afternoon. Unable to stand upright in the tank the bull weight 1800 pounds started to swim around the tank making six laps before it be gran to slack up from exhaustlonn. Ropes were found and "Flappy" Monnett was given the honor of tieing them to the animal's legs so it could be hauled out of the water. A party of fifty or sixty boys and men grabbed the rope to give a helping hand when a "heave ho" was heard and Mr. Bull was drawn out from his watery grave. Filed in Superior Court. 7834.

PURTELLE

MAKING

PROMISES

Rensselaer, Ind., Aug. 5. Eugene Purtelle visited Kentland Tuesday and talked about running his railroad via Brook and Kentland and asked that subsidies be voted in Jefferson and liu quois counties and a free rlgh-of-way procured. If this is done he promises to build his road that way. He Is full of promises, and if Brook and Kentland people want to go to the trouble of voting a subsidy and then waving him start some "bluff" railorad building and then come around holding the hat for aid, here is a goad chance. The people of these two towns will do' well to look up Purtelle's record in Chicago, Hammond, Dyer and Rensselaer before they give any credit to him as a builder of arllroads. New Pitcher Wants Trial. Correspondence was reveived by the Sporting Editor of The Times this morning in which Ross Carson, a promising pitcher of Hebron, Ind. says he would like to sign up for the balance of the season with any team in the North ern Indiana Baseball League. In a brief outline of his past work he says he is an experienced pitcher, having played with bush teams both east and west of Chicago. In the earlier part of the season as announced n the Chicago Journal. Carson was booked to twirl for the Pullmans, but owing to an acident to his arm he had to break his contract. His arm is now n the best of shape and says his spit ball is working fine and that all of his curves break fust. Carson aks only for a trial. Will Soon Return. Dr. Harry Hayward, who went to Agricultural College, N. M., for his health, la reported to be very much Improved.

JAW

Oil THIS How would you like to be hit in the Jaw by a sixteen-pound sledge hammer and be able to walk home?

Save for a swell on the side of his face, which is the size of a half canteloupe, Piney is ready to do more rolling on Monday. LAKEWOODS TO HAVEJCE SKATING Not Now, But Next Winter So Park Officials Say. Lake Woods Park the latest and most modern of amusements institutions is to have the latest of inventions in park attractions. An Immense pavillion to b built on the Midway this winter will contain a field of artificial Ice on which ' skaters may follow the sport nature has made of short duration throughout the entire year. Racers may speed to the limit, and clever skaters perform their most fantastic feats at a small admission fee on one of eight similar rinks In existence, two In Chicago, three in New York, and one in Atlantic City, Philadelphia, Boston and San Fran cisco. progressive Manager Bernstein was the original advocator of the project. Work of construction will begin following the perfection of plans. In all instances the artificial Ice skating rink has proved an attraction unequaled in another amusement contrivance, ride or show. Without the deadly duet and grating noise of roller skates the sport j is perfect, speed may be attained that far surpascs the form of locomotion.

LAKE TONNAGE DROPS; 1911 SHIPMENTS OFF ! Figures for June and First Six Months of Year Show Great Decrease. Lake tonnage suffered a tremendou decline during the month of June and in the first six months of this year, ac cording to the figures of the trade movement on the great lakes, which have just been published by the bureau of statistics of the Department of Corn merce and Labor. The volume o domestic shipments on the great lake for June declined almost 25 per cen from the coresponding month in the preceding year. Nearly all classified articles, includ ing iron ore, coal and lumber, show tie clnes-compared with the 1910 figures. The combined freight shipments fo the month were 10.346.730 short tons, as compared with 13,603,516 short ton for June, 1910, and 10,180,034 short ton for June, 1909. The shipments for the first six months of the present year, 22,516,57 short tons, show a similar decline when compared with the same period for 1910. Iron Loaa Henvtent. The loss Is largest in the case of iron ore, the June shipments for which fell from 7,068.506 long tons In 1910 to 4,603,963 this year. The Duluth-Supe.--lor shipments of ore were about 30 per cent less in valume than a year ago. The six months' shipments of iron ore fell from 14,711.179 to 8,675,624 long tons during the preset year, a decin of over 40 per cent. Of the total receipts for the month, 80 per cent was credited to Lake Erie ports, the balance going to Lake Mchigan ports, chiefly Chicago, Gary and Indiana Harbor. The same proportion holds true for the six months' receipts. The June shipments of soft for the first time in the present year, likewise showed a considerable decline, the heaviest losses affecting some of the largest coal ports, such as Ashtabula and Cleveland. The loss In soft coal shipments for the first six months of this year amounts to 15 per cent, as compared with lat year. Milwaukee is the only port showing an Increase for June and for the six months. The June shipments of anthracite coal compare favorable with last year's although lighter shipments during the early, months make the total for the half year somewhat smaller than in 1910. Lumber Changes Slight. There was little difference in the lumber movement for the month. During the Brut six months of the year the, shipments of lumber amounted to 409,919.000 feet, about 11 par can below the corresponding 1910 totai. It is noteworthly thst the Jm .efpt In Chicago. 39, 3$0, 000 feet, were considerably b-sn-t than last year's while at North. Tenawanda there was a great decline, amounting to nearly 14,000.000 feet for the month of June. As against the general decline In the volume of shipments, the grain traffic

for. June S?cws a. considerable gaiu

over the figures for June, 1910. Total hlpments of grain for June, 1911, were 6, 446,342 bushels, as against 11.614.53T bushels in the corresponding month of the previous year, The grain shipments were divided ?i folows: Two million eight hundred and twenty-five thousand three hundred forty bushels wheat, 8,280,610 bushels corn, 4,230. 658 bushels oats, 103,234 bushels barley and 7,500 bushels rya. For the first time the monthly figures contain no record of lake shipments of. flaxseed. The largest gain in monthly shipments is shown by corn and oats. Grain shipments for the first six months of the present year aggregated 45,595,028 bushels, aa compared wit.i 36,879.556 bushels reported the year be fore. The June shipments of unclassed freight, including package. 1.086,39i short tons, were likewise larger than year ago, when 1,025.131 short tons were reported.

THEODORE ARCAND

EXONERATED Theodore Arcand, who was sought by the Whiting police as the man who defrauded Mrs. Catherine Chllds of Fischrupp avenue, appeared in perxon at the Whiting police station yesterday and established an alibi satisfactory to the authorities. It appears that two men, strangers to Mrs. Klose, came to her and asked to be given a Job to Improve a chimney, one of the men claiming to be the brother of Theodore Arcand, who did some work for her last year. Mrs. Klose remembered the name and Sent them to repair a chimney en one of her cottages occupied by Mrs. Catherine Chllds. To Mrs. Childs they, said they had no money with which to buy material and persuaded her, to loan them ten dollars, the man with Arcand offering his watch as security. The man representing himself as Theodore Arcand's brother secured the watch and disappeared with the watch and money and the partner later went back to Mrs. Klose to learn more about the Arcands. The police immediately began a search for Theodore Arcand and telephoned te the Hammond, East Chicago and Gary officials for assistance. The statement appearing In thin pa per on Wednesday of this week to the , effect that Theodore Arcand was im plicated in other petty thefts Is not borne out by facts, the name Arcand having been confused with another Arcand, a man of disreputable character, who, it is alleged, has conducted various saloons In Lake county In which he tolerated men and women Of immoral character.
