TK second day of M isha v: k.i's borne coming has pa-d most suc

cessfully. The irxwils were fully up i

to the expectations f the Eusiness Mori's association, and that they will kep on growing in proportion is the coiilident prediction of everyone tonnected with the -nterjjrise. Th re has L-ix .oiiif lri' tion. between the city olt'uiala and the show people, and for a." time. TucfJay, it looked ii-s if the lattr would -t-il away with their tents. That fully half of the oonces-f-ions were chisel ly the civic authorities during the day was a decided disappointment to tli merchant of the ity, and to the infinh-rs 4f the Business Glen's association. I MsippointiiM'tit is putting it hut mildly. They had htriten hard for weeks past to give the city a line of attractions at once clean, wholesome and enjoyable. That they have Mieeeeded is the almost unanimous opinion of the men who lia' made. and arc making Mishawaka great. --Iurihg Tuesday at least a dozen conferences were h-ld between the heads of the amusement features, a 4 oinmittee ,f prominent business men, and Mayor hilor. The trouble was over the dosing down of several of the concessions by orders from city hull headquarters. Mr. .Miller threatened to pull up his stakes at one time during the day unless these concession.'; were allowed to operate. The mayor va.s firm in his stand that the ertr--w ould not tolerate anything that savored of gambling. The question then arose as to what constituted gambling. The show people are operating the concessions, some at which you pay a dime or a nickel, receiving in exchange a package of gum as a quid pro quo. You are then given a "paddle" oa which numbers are printed. A wheel is turned, and if it happens to Mop at the corresponding number on the paddle" In your possession you receive a prize. - .Mr. Miller stated to The NewsTimes Tuesday night that exception had been taken to the quality or quantity of gum given in exchange for the money and that the "censors" had Miggested the tinmen of two brands of the article which they recommended he sold in place of the kind handled by the show people. However, the lew concessions of this nature were ordoied closed. The hoop-la", which is claimed to frme of science and skill, was another which was put out of business by the city's "censors". Mr. Miller contends that the supreme court of New York rtate has passed on this Aery wm game as one of both science and skill. It consists in throwing rings over cams to which are attached prizes. A clothes pin f,'atno is also "dark." In. this contest ono hus to pitch a ring a cjothes jvin. and he is allowed to continue pitching until he gets a ji! ize of some kind or other. And so on down the line. It is feared that the loiSsome "hot dog" stand will soon fall a victim to the mighty prowess of the censor hoard. Complaints have "been received at headquarters that the "dogs" are mighty slim, and poor value for money received. If this feature be removed the impressario says the 3iill!enium has come to Mishawaka. , .At early hour this morning Mr. "MUleritoll the News-Times that he wtll stuy here and see tho thing out. The business men are -willing he j-houhl, and it is assured that the visitors to Mishawaka during the remainder of tho week will get their money's worth. The shows, without exception, are of n. highly entertaining character. There is nothing unclean or suggestive in any one of them, and the business men v ho liroupht them here were evidently Hi to their job. t:

The window trimming contest, inaugurated by the local oilice of The

News-Time, wa-s decided

evening, and the grand prize of $-f in advertising donated by this paper was awarded to A. S. YViney & Co. This feature of the , home-coming will stand out prominently as one of the most unique and interesting In the annals of Mishawaka's commercial enterprise. The 20 merchants who sent in their entries to the contest did themselves infinite credit in their window displays. They had evidently spent much time, thought, and mnnekv in preparing for the event which passed without a hitch. The three judges from South Bend, Messrs. Thomas II. Erandon, HrandonDurrell Co.; C. 11. Steed. Vernon clothing store, and A. Drayton, Robertson llros., arrived in Mishawaka at 7::'0 and reported at The News-Times office. Even at this early hour the business part of the city was crowded and the center of attraction was around the decorated windows, the blinds of which were kept drawn until the signal for the opening of tho judging was on. The NewH-Times had made arrangements with all the manufacturers in the city to have their whistles blow for So seconds at S o'clock sharp, and punctually to the second, the city's tire whistle opened the proceedings. Immediately following the six others Joined in the uproar. These were the Mishawaka "Woolen Manufacturing ('.. Dodge Manufacturing Co.. T.eatty Felting Co., Amplex Manufacturing Co., National Veneer Products and K. & S. Urewery. As soon as the medLey had ceased the chimes of the Methodist Memorial church, through the courtesy of K. 11. Kberhart, played "Home Sweet Home", a eraeeful compliment to the many visitors in the city. The judges commenced their duties nt the corner of Second and Mill sts. Each window was given a critical and minute examination, and the judging consumed considerable time. In some instances it was ditticult to award the prize and it was necessary to make a second trip to some windows. The judges divided the entrants into live cla-sses and awarded the prizes as follows: Class 1. drygoods First, and winner of The News-Times special prize, A. S. Wlney & Co.; second, A. C. Ilaslanger Co. Class L shoes and leather goods First, Herzog's shoe store; second, Eberhart Pros., leather goods. Class ?,. hardware and furniture Firs;t, Peiger Furniture Co.; second, O. E.

The board of public works through City Atty. Jernegan recommended the

e l,.v j common council at the Tuesday even-

ig meeting 10 cnango tne name oi one of tho River sts., which exist in Mishawaka. The matter was brought to the attention of the board Tuesdaymorning through a petition for a sewer on River st., on the north side. The city attorney also stated that he had been advised by Chief Buysse of the tire department that the streets south of the Eake Shore tracks and east of the? Dodge Manufacturing Co. were inconveniently arranged in the case of fires. Mr. j.uysse stated that in the case of lire east of the Dodge plant people were most likely to give the address as E. 6th st., E. 7th st.. etc., and not state whether it is east or west of the factory. Not one of these streets is open east of Union and it causes long delays in finding a fire. He suggested that they he named avenues. The matter was referred to the ordinance committee and the city engineer. Mr. Jernegan also reported that the board of work recommended the revision of the tralflc ordinance in regard to Feathering sand and debris over the streets in the course of transit. This matter was referred to the committee on ordinances and the city attorney. An ordinance was passed on recommendation of the ways and means committee authorizing the awarding of the contract for tho loan of $10.000 from the First Trust and Savings Co. They being the lowest bidders. The ways and means committee also recommended the transfer of $1,S00 from the city general fund to the improvement fund asked for by the citycontroller. This was allowed by the council. A communication was read by the clerk from the appraiser appointed by Judge Funk of the circuit court to fix a price on tho city property on E. Joseph st. The property involved is the old lire station site. The price fixed is $1,250. Councilman Chesbro recommended that council instruct the board of works to construct a cross walk at the corner of Third and Union sts. Councilman Reprogle also asked for a cross walk at the corner of Ann and Grove st. Roth recommendations were ordered constructed. cWims to the amount of $7,SC...r.7 were read and approved. Tho city treasurer's report for the month of August was as follows: Ralanco on hand July .11, $9,784.80; total collections for month, $9,634.52; expenditures, $9,701.7:1; balance on hand Sept. 1, $9,717.4 9.

INTERESTING WAR NEWS IN LETTER FROM GERMANY Joseph deEorenzi received an interesting letter Wednesday from his sister, who is at present visiting her daughter at Mainz, Germany. The letter is dated Aug. 2 3, and states that one of the conditions exacted by the government by which letters can be mailed to this country, is that they be left unsealed. The letter goes on to say that everywhere ono is surrounded by enemies. The enthusiasm of the German people is pictured as being something unprecedented in the annals of the country, and even greater than that displayed during the Franco-German war in 1870. Everyone is under the belief that Germany will eventually win. and everybody wants to go to the front. Professors of universities and high schools its well as the students have gone to the front in great numbers and many of theso institutions are closed. i?o many have volunteered for active service, the letter says, that the government cannot use them all. Men of from 50 to 70 years are offering their servives. The letter speaks of tho wonderful victories achieved by the German, army to date. Two or three members of nearly every family have gone to the front. Everyone left at homo is doing something for tho soldiers in the war zone. The writer of the letter compares the smart appearance of the German soldiers, who left for the war clad In new uniforms, with that of tho poor French prisoners of war who have been brought to Germany. These latter the letter says, were in a terrible condition. Without shoes, and but sparsely clad in rags held together by a piece of string, they excited the sympathies of all who saw them. Mr. deLorenzi has 11 nephews at the front, as well as three nieces as members of the Red Cross.

MAYOR GAYL0R STATES REASON FOR CLAMPING LID ON CONCESSIONS In speaking of tho trouble between the city oflicials and the carnival people Mayor Gaylor said Wednesday morning that he felt that he was certainly justiiied in taking the action which he took in regard to closing several of the concessions. In one concession the mayor said he was offered three packages of a brand of carnation gum marked live cents each, which he claimed contained only two sticks with a value of one cent. This, he said, was not a fair and reasonable value for the charge of taking three chances on a baby doll at 25 cents. In another instance he stated that he was given a small celluloid label piece with practically no value at all. This was given on a stand which claimed to give a prize for every "whirl" with no blanks. The "hoop-la" or clothes pin stunt, he claimed, was a gross fake. He ptated that several capital prizes were given but that on investigation he found that in one instance there was no number representing the prize while in another a portion of the number was so obliterated that the ordinary investor could not ascertain whether be was a winner or not. These, he said, were the reasons which he considered no fair-minded man could permit to exist, while on the other hand the proposition is not a fair one to the local business men who were compelled early In the current year to close up all forms of chance games in their places of business. "These men are with us ;:C5 days in the year," tho mayor said, "why then should the city permit a carnival company tr come in here for one week and do things that a local taxpayer and business man cannot do?''
