OWL CLUB PRESIDENT READY TO BET AGAIN Will Wager 1,000 Bbls. of Oil to Plate of Tomato Salad Crowns Top the World. SPECIAL TO THE TIMES WHITING, Ind., April 19. R. M. Andrus. superintendent of the barrel h"us of the Standard Oil plant here, and president of the Owls club, still believes that tb.9 Owl basketball team is the best :n the. United States and h 'will e en tsk" In more territory. "The referee took the championship away from us," said Mr. Andrus. "Not intentionally, of course, but it was just ir tough luck. Then we had to play v. r.hout one of our best men. We can I eat the Raj Is as we did before if things only broke even for us. and I'll bet a thousand barrels cf oil to a plate of tomato salad that we can. and I will throw in enough oil for the salad dressing In addition." However, the Whiting Owls accept the rWcatting as it was philosophically, and -r will be content to rest with the magnJlcan!. laurels they have won this year. SLAIN GIRL WAS FROM WHITING (Continued from page one ) months ago. Mrs. Balagh frowned on the cabaret yearnings and refused to permit the girl to follow them. EAJ&XiY LITE BTOT TOI.O. From Mrs. Ealagh came the story of the early life, of Bertha, and the- unmistakable tendencies of the girl, which led to the tragic denouement Thursday night. Her parents were of the respectable middle-class'type. They lived In Whiting. Ind. The father's name was Stephen Kalapsh, but aftr the mother's death In 1303 the girl took her mother's maiden name. McMillan. LIT ED WITH COUSIIT. The child came to Chicago to live with her cousin. She won her way Into the hearts of the neighbors, on account of her unusual beauty. They commented on It frequently. Perhaps that turned the child's head. She evidenced a marked aversion to housework. That was the only demand that her cousin made on her. Mr Balagh had many duties of her - n. She could not give all her atteni .on to her little cousin. She heard from time to time that Bertha had very few girl friends, but! that her boy friends were legion. 'She warnd her, and issued orders that the only boy friends she could have were those who i ailed at the Balaeh home.

TURNS TO "UTILE AK9SL." Finally the girl was sent to a convent in the neighborhood. Here her character seemed to change. She became known as "The Little Angel of the Convent," first, because of her goluen hair, and, second, became- she developed a beautiful voice. Here again people ot the neighborhood innocently helped spoil her. They told her her voic'i was too good to be wasted. They put into her mind dreams of a cabaret life in which she could have all the lights and merriment she wanted. Then came the day when Bertha left home. Mrs. Balagh was considerably worried, although she heard from Bertha frequently.

THE POLITICAL WORLD IN INDIANA TTIMES BUREAU AT STATE CA'lTAl 1 INDIANAPOLIS. Ind.. April 19. It looks liko things political are going to strike a calm for a time, in spite cf the rousing promises Indiana Democrats hurled before their national chairman, II. S. Cummings. only last week; unless the women of the Republican party start something following their meeting here yesterday with W. H. Hays, national Republican chairman, and the state party leaders to plan for organizing the Republican women of Indiana. All the Democrats who are likely to run for anything seem still to be sitting around with their fingers in their mouths and speculating on past, present and future events. Such discussion of possible candidates as there, has been continues in a measure, but is becoming neither more pointed nor is it spreading out much to new names. Senator James E. Watssn will be on his way east again in a few days, after delivering a number of addresses in Indiana, and expects to remain In Washington until Congress conenes again; and the prospect of an early session of Cogress following the return of President Wilson from Fans is considered as another influence to delay extensive political developments for some time yet. The situation In Indiana with the Republican party is regarded as pretty clearly outlined. Republican leaders believe there will be logical and direct choices of candidates by the very nature of the party situation. With the Democrats, on the other hand, a 'arge field of aspiring ones w ith little' to distinguish, one from another, and vitn the great uncertainty prevalent in the Democratic party at the present time as to what in the world a fellow is going to run on, anyway, is about the present situation. Campaign activities, there is a growing belief, are likely to be pretty general for the Immediate present. The meeting ot the. new women's executive and advisory committees with the Republican leaders yesterday was an interesting event, marking the beginning of organizing the women's vote of the party. National Chairman Hays made a thoroughly practical speech on politics for the benefit of the committees, which are charged w ith organizing the women's vote In Ind'.ana, telling of the work that has been done by the women of the party in other stttes and discussing methods of organization ) that have been successf ully employed j by the women's divisions. E. M. Was-; muth. state chairman, and L. W. Henley, secretary of the Republican state committee, with their wives, were present at the meeting, joining Mr. Hays in congratulations to the women upon their entry into political affairs of the party for the purpose of voting, and congratulating thm on the work already done. It is expected that a chairman of the women's executive committee will be chosen at an early dat and headquarters for the women's division soon will be opened.

The DeLuxe theatre has contracted to show, beginning next Monday, Miss Anita Stewarts initial First National production, "Virtuous Wives." adapted from the two million edition book of the same title by Owen Johnson. "Virtuous Wives" is described as a truthful story of married life in New York society. According to the author, in the introduction to his story, a virtuous wife is becoming an extinct specie of femininity under present-day conditions. The reasons for this, as dt-seribed in h.s novel, have been included In the screen adaptation. Miss Stewart makes her return to the American screen aTter an absence of several months in the role of Amy Forrester, the "only member of a social set to whom pleasure is young." As the wife of Andrew Forrester, and obsessed only with th idea of constant and uninterrupted amusement, she appears in the role of the young societv matron wh ofinally is brought to a realization that unbridled pleasure is but the ash ofh appiness.
