me first athletic meet of the Lake County grammar schools proved to ba a far greater success than was even hoped for. The event was tried as an experiment and with the success and interest taken It was decided to hold the met as an annual event. The mayor of Crown Point took an interest in the boys of that city, and invited the boys to hold the next year meet at the county scat. As this place was considered thl syear. no doubt the meet will go to Crown Point next. The Palmer park officials spent several daps preparing the track for event and the grounds, and day was perfect for the meet. The following schools were represented in the meet: Hammond, Crown Point, Emerson, Gary, T. M. C A. Gary, Indiana Harbor, Whiting-, East Chicago. There were about seventy-five boys taking part In the events. Sev-

: The partially completed two-story house at 424 Polk street, owned by Rev. J. E. Smith, the real estate deal er, was completely destroyed, the loss being $2,600. The flames penetrated into the sheet and tin plate company's tenement to the north and caused $500 damage in the fiat of John Rhodes.. 'At 426, the dwelling to the south, occupied on the
I first floor by Frank Daly and upstairs ' by John Daly, a loss of $1,000 was sustained. Good work on the part of the
fire department prevented a further spread of the flames. Fanned by a good breeze from the lake the flames soon penetrated the fiat of Frank Daly, partially "overcoming his wife.- She was carried outside by her husband.

Charles Moy, a holdover from Saturday. The colored gentlemen were charged with disorderly conduct. W. St Buckley was the style and title of the dope fiend, and enough morphine was found on his person to have put a
whole regiment to sleep, according to j
Sergeant v-ifenbach. Buckley was standing last night at the corner pf Chicago and Forsyth avenues. Officer Downey, the crossing po--llceman, had his eye on him and when he began to swing his arms wildly and dance the highland fling, Downey es- i sayed to put the wild and wooly one under arrest. The officer found, however, that he was no match, for his'
man, who appeared to have . the strength of an ox. - So he summoned help from the station. It arrived in the persons of three officers, all fairly powerful men, and it took the entire quartet to subdue Buckley. The latter, when .he was sufficiently quieted down to permit of an intelligent answer to the desk sergeant's inquiry, said his name was W. S. Buckley and that his address was 750 South Michigan street. South Bend.

TIMES BIHEAU, AT STATE CAPITAL. Indianapolis, Ind., June 16. Fire Marshal W. E. Longley today announced that James Paul White, an Indianapolis newspaper man for several years and formerly of Muncie, Ind., is to become the head of a fire investigation bureau that the state fire marshal has determined to install as a part of
the state's fire fighting corps. He will work directly under Roger W. Wallace, who was appointed deputy state fire marshal by Governor 'Ralston, to handle the legal part of the state fire marshal's work. Mr. White's work will be that of secret investigator of fires that are believed to be of Incendiary origin. Students of newspaper work in Indianapolis say that White's record as a police reporter on practically all of the Indianapolis papers has never been excelled. As a tracker of criminals he already has made his mark In many secret investigations of crime, con
duced by the papers on which h worked. The appointment came as a surprise today as it was believed that the stata fire marshal had not intended increasing his force. Mr. Longley said he had searched the state for a crime investigator before he decided that White was the man he wanted. There are
three departments in the state fire marshal's office. One handles the physical condition of property and has power to condemn property that presents too great a fire hazard. Another is the statistical department, under Ralph Richman of Tipton, and the third Is the legal department, in which the new appointee will work. The tracking down of arson fiends is practically a new business in Indiana and until the passage of the new Are marshal law there was no recognized agency for handling arson situations. White's duties will take him into the highways and byways of the state in search of clews that will lead to the, uncovering of arson plots. '
