Raseball for South Rend will he the subject of debate at a meeting to be held at the Chamber of Commerce building Wednesday evening when local men interested in getting this city back on the baseball map i will gather to lay down a plan for action.

In addition to these men, every fan In the city who is anxious to see a team playing in this city is urged t attend. There is a good chance of getting the berth in the Central and with the proper sort of support from the local people there will be The Central league was one of a small number of leagues to weather the storms caused by the arrival of the Federal league in the baseball Held. The league requires a deposit of $2,000 as a guarantee that the team will finish the season and as few men care to surrender a couple of thousand the league stands good chances of keeping its cities intact. This season the league is expected to be more compact than in former years. South Hend is ideally . located for a place on the league and the rest of the Indiana cities are anxious for this town to get On the wagon. The league will furnish a class of baseball on a little higher plane than that shown here during the Southern Michigan league's representation In this city and with baseball leagues at peace once more, local backers predict the coming year will be a successful one for South liend In case the city does land the berth. TWO YOUTHS FINED ON GAMBLING CHARGE Alleged Operator of (lame Will lie Tried in City Court Wednesday. Dave Smith and Charles Sloan, the two young men accused of frequenting a gambling house, pleaded guilty in city court Tuesday morning and were fined $10 each. Isador Uabin, a bartender, charged with operating a gambling house, pleaded not guilty and his trial was set for Thursday morning. Rabin recently charged the two young men of playing a "crooked" crap game with him but lost his case and the police filed charges against him upon the evidence he gave in attempting to have Sloan and Smith convicted. The charge of operating a raffling game .against Gus Haslinger, a Michigan st. cigar man, was dismissed in city court Tuesday. Mark Trowbridge was fined $1 and costs for operating his automobile without a license and witn an open muffler. He was arrested by Olficer Wesolek. Willis J. Wells, Hay McConnell and Garnet Cline appeared in court on charge of vagrancy but their casts were continued until Thursday morning. TOSSED PEBBLES ON ROOF What is believed to have been an effort to enter the Joseph Horenn home at 953 Lincoln highway H., was made last night by the same unknown burglar who shot Officer Hogers. The family was awakened by pebbles being tossed on the roof. They turned on the lights and the noise ceased. It is believed that the purpose of the robber in tosing pebbles on the roof was to determine the presence of the occupants. If no one responded, it is oelieved that the operators would hae attempted an entrance to tne home. The matter was not reported to the police. It Pays To Advertise where tne greatest possible number of people will read your advertisement, at the least possible cost. It is easily demonstrated that the modern daily newspaper Is the place. A gentleman in the rural district recently said to one of his neighbors, who urged him to sub scribe to The News-Times: "What! Me pay $3 a year for seven pages of advertising and Jive pages of reading matter? Not if I know it!" Fortunately the farmer repeated his statement to a representative of The News-Times, who happened to call on him. "All right, "then, we'll give you a 12 page paper with nothing in it but pure reading matter, many times what you can read in two days' steady reading, but we'll have to charge you $15 a year." The farmer saw the point and became a subscriber. IT PAYS THE SFHSCHIHHK to have interesting advertising matter in The News-Times" Groat laHT for ltoult.

iPOUEEil SHOT BY UNKNOWN II

Brass Button on Overcoat Saves Eugene Rogers From Serious Wound. (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.) Lincoln highway E.. and saw a man coming from the Simple st. bridge and turn south on Lincoln highway. I thought it was some man on his way to work but decided to have a good look at him. We met at the culvert on Lincoln highway, south of Sample st. The stranger spoke to me, saying, "Hello there." At the same time he extended his arm and shot from a revolver the bullet st-ikinff me in the leg. The man tired ar-ther shot which struck me in the r.ght breast and nearly knocked me down. "He ran south and after he had gone a short distance I started after him but could not run because of my leg. I fired several shots at the tleelng man and think I hit him as he stumbled and, fell at the third shot I fired. He ran between the Christian Wenger and Miss Marietta Kreighbaum residence at 1033 Lincoln highway E. I could follow no further and lost him." Hunt Gunman. Immediately after Rogers was put into the patrol the entire neighborhood in the vicinity of the shooting was searched by a score of officers and others but no trace of the gunman could be found. It was thought possible that Rogers might have been shot by friends of four men who were sent in from an old shack near the Sample st. bridge and these men have been, taken in by the police for questioning. Hogers had been investigating the robbery at the Harrison home just preceding the shooting. A man had entered the Harrison home about 1:30 o'clock but had been frightened away by the screams of a colored maid sleeping on the lower floor. The girl heard a noise in the kitchen and saw a flashlight and her cries gave the alarm to the Harrison family. When they reached the kitchen an open window was found but the robber had not been given time to carry away anything. Comes as Climax. This morning's shooting comes as a climax to a series of robberies which has been taking place the last few days. Many houses have been entered but up to this time the burglar had managed to elude being seen. Several nights ago a thief entered the Hon Durant home on W. Navarre st., and was seen working by two members of the family. On Sunday morning this same man Is thought to have entered the home of O. K. Gelbrick. 512 W. Colfax av. He was not noticed in the room but Mrs. Gelbrick saw him drop out of the window. A young man called at the Gelbrlck home the day before and asked for something to eat. Entered Throo Homos. On the tame night the burglar visited two other homes but was scared away. At the Gelbrick residence he dropped some valuable papers which the police believe will aid in landing the robber. On Sunday night a man was noticed about the home and it is thought that ho was back looking for the papers which included several check? made out to one Taylor, which he had dropped the morning before. DELEGATES ELECTED BY RETAIL DEALERS Pure Food Show Up !r Discussion, Hut No Action is Taken. Frank W. Rrodbock and E. II. Hulo ?re elected delegates to the annuai convention of the Indiana Retail Merchants' association at Lafayette Jan. 17 to 1), at the regular monthly meeting of tho Grocers' and Hutchers association at the Snyder and Humphrey wholesale candy plant Monday night. John C. Fox, Charles E. Hrodbcck and Delmar F. Haer were tied in the election of alternates. Possibilities of having a pure food show were discussed, but no action was taken. A letter was received from C. H. Cowdrey of Chicago, who offered to put on a show under the auspices of the association. A committee was appointed some time ago to investigate the results of tho show held in Fort Wayne last year. C. B. Hrodbeck, L. H. Rulo and F. W. Mueller, members of a committee named early in the fall to take up the matter of maintaining a complete credit rating system with the Chamber of Commerce, were given more time for investigation. Members of the association will meet the first Monday in February at the J. J. McEndrfer store, 2212 S. Michigan st.

liners, will be taken up at the same time. Sen. Stone said. Roth resolutions come up tomorrow. Tho steamer line at Cairo and Alexandria have stated that the vessel was torpedoed. Hut they have only the opinions of the survivors for that belief. And until complete re ports are received here no definite action can be taken by this government. Officials, however, were positive in their declarations that thi-s government must take steps now to compel all of the central powers to subscribeonce and for all to a submarine doctrine that will protect American interests. . Sceral Campaigns On. The press dispatches telling of the sinking of the steamers Glengyle, St. Oswold and Kenkoku Maru have convinced the state department that a general submarine campaign is being carried on in the Meditertanean in which vessels are being sunk in violation of the pledges already made by Austria and Germany. IJecause of this, officials say, tho question confronting the president today was Just how he can get all cf the Teutonic belligerents to agree to modify their methods so that the constant menace of an act being committed that would force American reprisals shall be removed. Tho president had no set plan, white house officials said. He and Sec'y Lansing were inclined to favor a joint note to Germany, Austria, Bulgaria and Turkey, reaffirming the policies of this government and suggesting that a constant source of friction would be removed if all of these powers would submit to the I'nltei States the orders to their ' submarine commanders which they claim are in line with them. Rut olficials said very frankly that the president would not reach any final decision until after he has had opportunity to consult with the entire membership of his cabinet and leaders in the senate and the house. False Move Moans War. It is realized that a false move at this tinve would precipitate the United States into the war. The central powers are jealous of their rights and while their diplomatic representatives here insist that if Austria shall be proven at fault for the sinking of the Persia she will make every amend, they privately blame Consul McNeely for taking passage on an armed British ship which, they say, he must have known previously had been used for carrying munitions to the Suez canal. And, in connection with the ejuestion of armed merchantmen it is pointed out at both the Austrian and German embassies that the only excuse for a merchant vessel being nxmed under present conditions ia that f he may be able to attack submarines. All German naval vessels and eommerce destroyers, with the exception of submarines, are now blockaded in German waters. DERBY SCHEME FAILS TO GET ENOUGH MEN (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.) would be classified into groups to be called up.' A strong feeling against compulsion has grown up among the liberals and the opinion was expressed that many influential members of this political party would take part in the fight against the bill in parliament. In this battle they will be assisted by the leaders of the Irish nationalists and the labor party. Chancellor of the Exchequer Reginald McKenna and Walter Hunciman, president of the board of trade, are understood to have put up a vigorous argument in the cabinet in favor of a decision on the size of the Hritish army. They want the army limited to a certain number of troop?. CREW DEMANDS THAT VESSEL BE ABANDONED Thcssilomkl, According f( Wirolos Is In Sinking Condition. Internittlonnl News Service: NEW YORK, Jan. 4. Wireless messages received this afternoon that the disabled Greek steamer Thessiloniki was in such danger of sinking that the 90 members of the crew still on board demanded that the steamer be abandoned. The captain of the ScandinavianAmerican liner United States flashed tho following radiogram: "Our position latitude 33.35 north, longitude 63.14 west, 43 miles from Thessaloniki. Members of Thessaloniki's crew remaining on board went to abandon ship. Passengers and b ilance of crew on liner Patris." MAY DISMISS CHARGES Rumor Has It Alleged Conspirators Will Go Free. International News Service: WASHINGTON. Jan. 4. U. S. Commissioner Anson H. Taylor is expected to dismiss the indictment against former Rep. Fowler, H. H. Marti r and Herman Schulteis, held under bond on charges of conspiring through Labor's National Peace council to interrupt the munitions traffic, when their case comes on for hearing here on Jan. 20. according to report, which the indicted men claimed today was based on reliable authority. The commission will dismiss the indictment as being frivolous, they say, and in doing so he will point out that the men should have been indicted by a Washington grand jury rather than by one sitting in New York.

ALLIES ARE PREPARING FOR DRIVE IN SPRING Radical Reforms Being Effected as Result of War Council. International News Service: PARIS. Jan. 4. Vast changes in the allies military establishment will have a marked effect on the great campaign that will open in th spring. Radical reforms are already being effected. It is not permitted at present to tell the nature of the reforms, but it is upon these that leaders in the entente countries base their predictions that the year 1116 will witness the final defeat of Germany. The military power of Franco, England, Russia and Italy is being welded into an irresistible machine, every part of which will work in unity. The recent war council in Paris was only to outline the necessary changes and establish a unity of purpose. The actual work of effecting the reforms began as soon as the war council ended.
