Friday, was quiet compared to the demonstrations of years gone by, there were five people injured from various causes and one man killed whllo on a hunting trip. In addition to these accidents there "were several small tires which were traced to the celebration. A few othpeople suffered slight burns and Juises, but these accidents were not reported n.s they were not injured Lad enough to need the services of a physician. A number of celebrations were held during the day while many of the local citizens hunted a cool spot out of the city. Interurbans and railroads were crowded and as a result many people spent a largo part of the day on the road as the extra crowds made schedules Impossible to remember. Plenty of Noise. Plenty of noise was on t'.p in the city from morning to nigh although the slight rain during the afternoon put a damper on the celebrations. It only rained enough to help cool the atmosphere and at night the 'noise continued. The police during the day Issued orders to the dealers of firecrackers not to sell any big firecrackers or explosives that could result in serious damage. The enforcement of tho city ordinance together with the Idea of a fano Fourth which has been growing for several years, are responsible for outh Bend's small list of injured and wounded at the close of the day's demonstrations. The day's toll Includes the following: Kobert Schultz, 1905 Randolph st, was overcome with heat and escaping gas while assisting at filling the Walloon at Sprlngbrook park. Just previous to its ascension. The police were called and hurried to the scene with the pulmotor. Its services, however, were not needed as the man had been revived.

Sixth st., Mishawaka, was found dead In the woods by his father. Philip Wahl. shortly after the two had parted and the former had gone into the woods to hunt squirrels. Whether death was accidental or through suicide is a question. The suicide theory is advanced because the son had been complaining the past few days of the heat. Two small fires were attributed to firecrackers. At the home of W. DeFrees, 1 S 1 3 S. Michigan St., lace curtains were lurnited by an exploding cracker. No. 4 hose company responded to a still alarm. The damage was small. The awning on the Klbel confectionery store, 4 35 K.

IDENTITY MYSTERY IS SOLVED; BODY COMES UP All doubt as to the identity of the man who jumped from the River Park bridge Thursday evening was removed when the body of Frank Rapela was found this morning shortly after nine o'clock near Springbrook park. Officers Lane, Diver and Strong had been dragging the river and when turning to go across the stream again saw the body rise in the center of the river. Several letters written in Polish were found in one of the pockets of the man's coat and it is believed that these will lead to the solution of Rappela's act. They have not yet been translated into English. He is survived in this country by a brother, John Rapela, of this city. He was 25 years of age and was born in Poland. The body was buried Saturday afternoon in St. Joseph cemetery. MRS. GRIFFIN TO PAY BACK THOSE HUSBAND DUPED Several South Bend and Mishawaka people are said to have been duped out of large sums of money by Abner Giffin, the Laporte man who secured over $12,000 from persons in his home town on alleged fake mining schemes. Thousands of dollars were obtained here, it 13 reported, but it is not known who the men were who fell into the trap. Mrs. Gltttn is on her way to Laporte with money to settle with those who bought the mining shares from her husband. A small fortune will be necessary to pay up all those from whom GlfTin obtained money. According to a telegram from Niles, Mich., Gitfin will be immediately arrested in that city if released in Laporte. It is said that several prominent business men of that place bought shares in the mine on the promise that princely dividends would be paid. ENGLISH SINGER WOULD LET THE SUFFRAGETS DIE (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.) Chapel Royal, at Hampton Court palace. From there he went to London where he sang in St. Anne's church, famous for its interpretation of the music of Bach. His profession as a singer has led him into many interesting places. He has given concerts in India, South Africa, Australia and New, Zealand. This fall he and Mrs. Saunders, also a professional singer, will give a series of concerts in the United States and Canada. He has sung much in f grand opera but now sings only in concert and in oratorios. Opinion of Suffracts. But to get back to our gossip about England. Had Mr. Saunders confined himself to the aristocracy I might still think him a democrat. But he spoke of the English suffragets. They are cats, he thinks, and those who go on hunger strikes ought to be left to starve. He sees In the movement only two motives, the desire for a husband and the desire to be rid of one, both universal ambitions of womankind. If it hadn't been for the militants he himself would have been a suffragist, he said. But I doubted it. He would have found some other excuse for being against them. In his complacent assurance that the women really have nothing to wish for, I thought I saw the answer to the question, "Why Is a suffraget?" I was con1 lnced that after all his point of view, like his accent, was "Deuced English, don't you know." SMOOT TO SHOW UP THE PERSONAL SIDE OF TARIFF WASHINGTON, July 5. The personal side of the tariff bill Is to be attacked by Sen. Smoot when the measure becomes the unfinished business in the senate. The Utah salon declared Saturday that he plans to show that certain itiembers have looked after their own Industries in good ( shape. Notalby, ne said, the North Carolina mica industry was wen cared for and the coal tar dye industry, with hearquarters in Rep. E. B. Harrison's district In New York, fared equally as well. "And I hope to be able to show many Instances of this character affecting certain democratic statesmen." added the senator. Tho minority members of the senate finance committee will submit only the briefest kind of an unfavorable report on the measure but they will prevent amendments to almost every schedule from the floor. The only schedules which will be left alone will be the liquor and tobacco tax and the income tax section will be turned over to Sen. LaFollette for discussion and amendment. TEA WAFERS.

Fife Brothers Will Close Revival Meetings Sunday

EVANGELIST CLYDE FIFE. Those who have for the past three weeks been interested in tho Fife brothers5 revival at the First Christian church of this city will have their last opportunity Sunday to hear the evangelists preach an dsing the gospel. Beginning with the Sunday school at 9:13 and continuing through the morning and evening services, then evangelists will preach, sing and play. The number of new members added is now about 225 and it Is expected that tomorrow will be a record breaker in attendance and interest during the revival. All who signed cards during the Billy Sunday campaign for the First Christian church and have not been received Into the fellowship of the congregation are requested to be present tomorrow morning for that purpose and to sit with all the new converts and all those who have come forward at this church since the Sunday campaign and during the efforts of the Fife brothers and to be formally received Into the fellowship of the congregation.

one among the many candidates who will ask the citizens of South Bend to elect him to the position of Mayor of South Bend is John T. Nlezgodzki, whose name will appear on the primary roll of the Democratic Ticket on August 6th. Few local men are better known, or better liker, than John T. Nlezgodzkl. Born on August 23d, 1872, in Szubin. Poland, he brought by his parents to this Country and arrived In South Bend September 17th. 1S73, and has lived and worked in this City ever since that time. He is married and lives with his wife at No. 114 5 West Napier st., and has lived in that vicinity since childhood, in fact for twenty-eight years he has lived in the First precinct of the Second Ward. He received the rudiments of his education at St. Hedwige's and StJ Patrick's Schools and, like most young men of the sterling type he represent?, the finishing touchees of his education were received in the factories of this City, principally at the South Bend Toy Works and Bissel Manufacturing Co. At the age of 17 he became an apprentice at the cigar, business until he finished his trade. He then worked at the various cigar shops In this city, until, in 1S3S, he finally embarked in the cigar business for himself. From a single man in his employ In that year his business has grown until now his factory force is composed of twenty-two employes In a strictly union shop. Mr. Nlezjcodzki has always been a loyal Democrat, anl has never held any public office, except an appointment as a member of the Board of Public Safety under Mayor Fogarty. While there he exhibited those sterling qualities that characterise a thorough business man. The election of Mr. NIezgodzki to the otfice cf Mayor of Ssuth Bend will be a splendid tribute to a self made man, and of the type of young Americans upon which our splendid Institutions depend. His platform is the keystone of the arch upon which Democracy rests, the platform of Jefferson; "Equal rights to all; special privileges to none." AdvL

The sermon for tonight Is "Shall We Know Our Friends in Heaves?" Sunday morning, "Sermon to New Converts." Sunday night "The Time That Never Came." At the services Sunday the public subscription for the Fife brothers will be raised. A committee of 12 of the business men of the church appointed by the pastor, has been at work preparing for the offering and it is expected that it will be a good one. Evangelist Fife never takes anything for his support until all the expenses of the entire revival in every way have been paid. All checks and pledges to the support of the evangelists with gifts that the people may not be able to arrange by tomorrow , will be received by Mr. C. W. Coen, at the Merchants' National bank on Monday. On Monday night the Fife brothers will give their final concert, on Tuesday night a big reception to all the new converts and on Wednesday morning early they go at once to Illinois to start another campaign on Thursday. placed at $300 and the case set for Monday morning.
