la a letter to Tk Times, Mat Boney of Hammond, who Is touring Europe In company with Mrs. Boney, their son, Edward Boney, who Is a student at the Innsbruck university and George Kussrnaul, Jr., of Hamrflond, says, among other things: "On July 1st, we landed in Hamburg and spent two days sight-seeing, from where we traveled on to Cologne, and then to Trieste and to Krels Merzlg. where we spent an afternoon In the house of my father, Nicholas Boney, now standing for over 200 years. Stop at Murnlcb. We next visited Muenlch, staying there five days and seeing all that was to be seen, from the finest works of art to the hardly less famous Huenich beer gardens. We planned to continue our trip then to the Tyrol, and journeyed on to Its capital, Innsbruck, to meet our son, who was completing his first year's work at the Royal university. We found him well and happy, and looking fine, despite the strenuous examinations he was just finishing.

Gas Office Game.
Sermons Arouse Interest.
The sermon on "The New Crusade,
or Retaking Jerusalem," by Rev.
harp last Sunday night drew a big
crowd. The subject tomorrow even
ing is "Bargain Counter, Religion."
Rev. Sharp believes there is no rea
son for the churches to throw up their
hands in despair during July and Au
gust as many have been accustomed
to do.
It is only a bad habit for people to
get into the habit of neglecting their church attendance during the summer
months. He calls attention to the fact that nearly all the many g forward
mofes made by this congregation have been made during the summer
months.
A very large hearing is anticipated for all these seven special sermons. The six yet to be heard are: "Bargain
Counter Religion," "Things Out of Sight," "Burial and Resurrection of Christianity," "Satan's Incubator, or Sin Hatcheries," "A Young Man Ar
rested," "Serving Satan Unawares."

Wow! Watch the fur fly tomorrow! East Chicago and Indiana Harbor in
deadly combat on the baseball 'field will
furnish the diversion, the Harbor ball
park providing the setting.
Both teams will win. No question
about it, if all one hears is to be bellevad from both ends of town. Llka
the gingham dog and the calico cat, they are prepared to eat each other up, and It there Is a vestige of orange and black left to tell the tale. East Chicago will as one man eat Its own hat. If on the other hand a shred of
gray remains on the field of carnage
aftsr the smoke subsides, then Indiana Harbor is prepared to feed off its com
posite Hd.
Tomorrow will witness the third
meeting of the two teams. East Chicago already has two victories to Its
credit, and points to this fact as a surety that tomorrow's game is already won. Indiana Harbor, however, says
this fact signifies absolutely nothing. Both teams will put In their strong
est line up. Indiana Harbor will In all
probability start the game with Brad-
shaw in the box, while East Chicago Is undecided as yet who will do the slab
work for their half of tomorrow sketch.
Rooters from both ends of town will bo out in force, provided the rain lets up for a long enough period to permit
the game.
An appeal for aid in averting what may be one of the most disastrous car famines In the history of the country has been sent to industrial traffic managers and commercial organizations throughout the United States by W. A. Garrett, chairman of the Association of Western Railways. If preventive measures are not promptly taken. Mr. Garrett says, shippers will be confronted next October with the worst situation that has existed since October, 1907, Just before the panic. If the reduction In the available supply of cars should be as great this year as it was in 1909. it is pointed out, there will be a shortage Oct. 25 next of 179,833cars. "The situation would be appalling,"
adds Mr. Garrett, "and the resulting losses suffered by all commercial. Industrial and transportation Interests enormous." Warnings relative to the probability of a car shortage have been Issued by the Chicago board of trade: F. T. Bentley, traffic manager of the Indiana and Illinois Steel companies, and W. D. Simmons, president of the Simmons Hardware company of St. Louis.
The current bulletin of the Amerln Railway association shows that
the total surplus of cars in the United
States Aug. 1 last was 65.904, as compared with 75,389 July IS preceding.

unurcnes ana religious societies, to the number of at least 100.000, will be urged to give special attention to the
prevention of tuberculosis on Sunday,
Oct. 27, or on some day during the
week preceding or the week follow
ing that date. This season has been set apart and designated as the third
national tuberculosis day by the na
tional association for the study and
prevention of tuberculosis. which
makes this announcement today.
Tuberculosis day was originally set on April 28, but was postponed because of a conflict with conservation Sunday of the men and religious for
ward movement, wnicn was nela on
that date. The observance of tuber
culosis day in the fall this year will be utilized by anti-tuberculosis workers not only for the general education
of churchgoers on consumption, but also for the purpose of interesting
them in the sale of Red Cross Christ
mas seals.
Every one of the 600 ans more antituberculosis associations allied with the national association will be urged
to promote tuberculosis day in their
respective communities. While last
year over 50,000 churches observed
this occasion, It is expected this year
that this number will be doubled. Mil
lions of circulars and other forms of literature will be distributed. The
support of every religious denomina
tion will be asked for.
" That tuberculosis Is a. serious problem among church congregations Is evidenced by statistics which the national association gathered last year, which show that 10 per cent of all deaths among church members are caused by tuberculosis. Based on statistics of the census bureau, over 52,000 of the 33,000,000 communicants in churches in the United States die from tuberculosis every year. -nts figure assumes that the' death rates of 1.60 per l.OOCb population in the registration area applies to all church goers, when, as a matter of fact, the rate would probably be higher.

Main street property owners, those ' affected by the new paving, have made a decision as to what kind of
paving they want. Petitions were filed with the city clerk yesterday asking : that machine mixed macadam be sub- ! stltuted for the brick selected as the material by the council. The petition ' governing Main street from Clark to I Ooldsborough carries a majority of
the citizens living on the street, while North Main street residents from Goldsborough to Anderson were
unanimous In favor of the machine mixed macadam paving for that section. It Is thought that the contracts will be awarded for this kind of paving at the next regular meeting.'

Sergeant Mike Gorman of the East Chicago police force yesterday made what may prove to be an important arrest In the person of a man who gives his name as John Fisher, but whom the police believe to be Tony Horn of
Chicago, wanted by the police of that city for the murder of George Hinterberger, a Chicago saloon-keeper, who
was killed July 29.
Fred Wanqulst, the partner of Horn, Is now under arrest in Chicago charged with complicity in the crime, he having been picked up in Milwaukee two
days after the murder.. Sergeant Gorman at about six last evening saw Fisher, as he calls himself, coming down the terminal tracks from the direction of Chicago. He was without a hat and had the general appearance of a hobo. Sergeant Gorman's sleuth Instinct got busy at once
and spotted Horn for a criminal. He accordingly went out when the man neared the station and arrested him. While the prisoner answers in every particular, according to the local police, to the fugitive Horn, he tells what appears to be a straight story. He is about 20 years old and says he Is a brass moulder by trade and came to East Chicago in search of work. He explained the absence of his hat by saying he had lost it on a freight train. The police here have communicated with the Chicago detective bureau and will hold the suspect until such time as a detective from there can come out and look him over.
