BASEBALL LEAGUE I FORMATION

Base ball plans for the coming: season are sizzlinf? and it looks like one grand big boom for the Northern Indiana Base Ball association. Matt Sternberg, manager of the Indiana. Harbor base ball club, and William Zimmerman of the Whiting- team made a trip on Friday to Michigan City. Laport and Valparaiso, In the interests of the Northern Indiana League. Base ball leaders in all of these towns are enthusiastically in favor of affiliation with the Northern Indiana Tase Bail association, and it looks like an eight-city circuit for the league. There will be a league meeting Saturday, either at the Harbor or Hammond, at which all the above named cities will be represented. At Michigan City Messrs. Zimmerman and Sternberg met Hemp Fedder, mem. ber of the board of public works of that city and manager of the Michigan City baseball team. Mr. Fedder expressed his interest in the league and his desire to have his team join the organization. He declared his Intention of meeting with the league on Satur(Contlnued on page 8.) ONE INSTITUTION THAT IS FADING AWAY Pension Examining Board Finds Its Work Grows Less and Less. Of late years there has been a noticeable decrease in the number of pension applicants before the Lake County penion examining -board. Years ago the bi-weekly meetings always found a goodly number of applicants before ths board, but now even tiie monthly meetings brings about few applicants. Two or three facts are responsible for this. One of thes is that the number of veteran soldiers is thinning rapidly. The private pension bill, according to which a veteran can appexl directly to congress though his congressman for an increase or adjustment has diverted many of the applicants fro mthe Hammond office. Another is the automatic Increase which is fixed by the age of the pensioners. Should any of the dollar a day pension laws now pending before congress go into effect, the pension board would of course be abolished entirely. ' As far as the pension board and its personal Is concerned It has always been most efficient, and the decrease of applicant can In no way be construed to be a reflection on its efficiency.

Saturday night with his five prize bull dogs, a silver cup and a trunk full of other premiums which 'he captured at the annual exhibit of the Indiana Dog Fanciers' association at Indianapolis. In addition to these trophies, which he has added to the five silver cups, sixteen silver medals and 248 other premiums won in he past, he also captured first prize at the show. "Little Sis.- his English bull dog, took first honors just as she did at the national dog show In Chicago a few months ago. -Little Sis" is valued at 2,600 and is one of the twenty-two bull iibgt 'now In the Edwards kennels. "Receiving this prize for 'Little Sis'," said Mr. Edwards, "gives her fire more points towards being the prize bitch of America. She has hut seven more points to make to the top of the list." FROZEN GROUND BAD FOR WATER OSERS Frozen Water Pipes Com mon Things in Hammond These Days. Certain portions in Hammond, especially where the water pipes have not been laid deep enough, are in danger of a water famine because of frozen mains and house connections. Some of the mains that were laid years ago are less than three feet underground, and are surrounded by frost in the ground. It Is said that when the sun shines on frozen ground that the frost is driven deeper into the ground, and if this is true other pipes are likely to be affected. Frozen water pipes are common thing all over the city these days. The greater part of West Sibley street was shut oft from water this morning, and It is feared that the water began to freeze in the mains. Former administrations made the mistake of permitting contractors to make the house connections with a "goose neck." which brings the house pipe as a rule six inches above the water main, but connections that are being made now are ordered to be made on the side of the main Instead of on the top. , House builders, it is s&id, could save themselves much future trouble if they would take the precaution of laying their house connection pipes In the street. In a tile pipe thus establishing an air chamber between the frozen ground and the water pipe. The Initial cost for this is very small and may save many dollars and worry in severe winter like this one. STIEGLITZ FUNERAL ATTRACTS MANY Despite the rather early hour r et for the funeral services for William Stieglitz, the Jewish templa on Indiana avenue, where the last honors were accorded the dead, was crowded with friends and relatives who came to pay their last respects. At 8 o'clock yesterday morning the funeral cortege began to move from the late home of Mr. Stieglitz, 109 Douglas street', toward the temple. ' In the procession were many of the friends and lodge members of the deceased, the members of Calumet lodge of Odd Fel lows having marched in a body. At the temple Mr. Stieglitz was eulogized in eloquent words from the lips of the Rev. Sehannfarber. a notd chi-i-ajsro rabbi; the K-v. Dubinnki of South Chicago, and the Rev. Bergman of

Hammond. Glowing tributes were paid, having been prompted by the many fine qualities of the deceased. The body was taken to Chicago on the 10:14 Nickel Plate train and from the Chicago depot it was moved to Waldheim cemetery, where it was placed In the steel vault of the cemetery for a final resting place. Xot until the will, made by Mr. Stieglitz last week before he went to the hospital, is opened and th tat

adjusted, can it be definitely stated wneiner tne clothing business In the Hub store in the Huehn building in Hammond will be continued. THREATENING FIRE IS EXTINGUISHED Thawing Out Frozen Water Pipe Causes Blaze in West Hammond. Thawing a frozen water pipe caused a fire rhortly after noon today In t.eorge Graham's residence, 108 West State street. West Hammond, and but for the timely discovery of the fire by B. Hllger of 29 Gordon street. West Hammond, who happened to be passing by, considerable damage might have resulted. The damage is thought to amount to about 75.

Together with Berman Behreas. a bartender for Con Moore, they forced the front door of the building opn, Mrs. Graham, who was Indisposed, was In bed and warned to get out. Water was found in one of the faucets of the house, and with this the two men got the fire under control. The West Hammond fire department and department No. 1 of Hammond arrived on the scene but found little to do, owing to the prompt work of Mr. Hllger and Behrens. Fire departments Xos. 1 and 4 were called to the residence of A. M. DeWeese. 5 Rimbach avenue, last Saturday morning, owing to a small fira which broke out on the room. An overheated chimney Is thought to hava caused the trouble. RAY SEELEY ANNOUNCES Popular County Surveyor Out for Renomination.
