TINES "WANT-AD" MAKES GOOD.
Pair of gold Spectacles Recovered
and Await the Arrival of Owner
at This Office.

4 young lady living in Whiting
went to the Lake Front park last
Saturday evening in company with
a number of other young people of
that city and of Hammond. After
they had been there a little time
someone proposed that they play
some games, which they did. The
young lady in question ordinarily
wears glasses but when the party
started to play 'ring-round-a-ros
and blind mans bluff she removed
her spectacles and she thinks she
put them in her blouse Soon
after this the party went over to
Hammond and when she looked for
her glasses they were not to be
found.
On Monday afternoon this young
lady was on the same car that took
a representative of The Lake County
Times to Whiting with load of pa
pers to distribute to the residents
of that place when it occurred to
her that maybe an 'ad in this paper
would help me find my glasses >
The carrier said he had no doubt it
would help some and wrote out the
advertisement on the spot. The
notice appeared in the paper the
next evening and yesterday a young
lady OF Hammond, who ''doesn I
want any reward" and is more
afraid of having her name in the
paper. brought the spectacles to
this Office, saying she had picked
them up in Robertsdale park Sunday
afternoon. When the young lady
/ of Whiting sees this in the paper
she will please come and get heI
property as we do not know her
name or address.

Hammond Man Knows Thaw.

John D. Smalley, city comptroller,
is taking considerable interest in
the sensational Henry X. Thaw mur-
der case for the reason that he

Smalley very frequently saw young
Thaw himself.
The young murderer is described
as fast young fellow who never did

his great hobby was to give dinners
10 his friends and eating seemed to
be his chief delight in life.
His companions were actresses
and, in this way he met Miss Evelyn
Nesbitt and married her.

SHOT AIMED At MAN
HITS A MANDOLIN
George .McKowan Thinks
Somebody Attempted to
Murder Him
PISTOL SHOT PIERCES WALL
Alleged Victim of Deadly Plan Speaks
Mysteriously of Bitter
Enemy

Did somebody try to assassinate
George McKowan or, was somebody
fooling with pistol?
McKowan is painter and lives at
S42 Summer st.
Shortly after 10 o'clock Tuesday
night a 3S caliber bullet crashed
through the clapboards, laths, plast-
er and wall paper into the living
room of the McKowan domicile
The hole it made, was close to the
side of a window which assumably
was the target of the man behind
the gun.
The missile was badly spent after
tearing through the wall, but it had
enough force left to tear the strings
off a mandolin that was reclining
with artistic carelessness against
the opposite wall.
The Man or the Mandolin?
The police who have taken up the
case are puzzled over the question as
to whether the supposed assassin had
designs on the man or the mandolin.
Mr.. McKowans son-in-law who
was sitting near the window saw a
fash and then peering into the dark
ness saw man running away. The
trail was lost in the noise and smoke
of the 1915 Nickel Plate train which
was laundering by at the time.
There was no sleep for the Nc
Rowan household that night.
Mr. McKowan when seen this
morning expressed the belief that the
shot was fired with intent to murder
him. He admitted having an enemy
whose bitterness towards him might
prompt him to attempt assassination
| but he refused to mention the name
or what the cause of the enmity was
The police are said to be in posses
sion of the name of the suspect but
they are equally reticent.

RUINED BY AERIAL DREAMS.
Count Zeppelin. VINO Has Tried for FIFTY
Years To Fly, IL Pra tically PennIless.


Special Cable Despatch 10 TIM SUN.
BERLIN, Dec. 29.-In these days Of the
Wright Brothers and NJ. Santos umont.
It is pathetic to contemplate the present
condition of Count Ferdinand Zeppelin, the
pioneer in the attempt to solve the problem
OF air flight, who began a study Of the ques-
ton fifty years ago. when his oontem-
poraries regarded him as a mailman.
The Count inherited a magnificent landed
estate at Gyslar, Wtirtemberg, with a resi-
dence at Stuttgart. OF all this nothing
now remains to him. Every house and every
acre has been spent in futile experiments,
and the Count with his devoted wife has
been living for the last few years in a small
four roomed cottage in a emote village in
south Germany, on a small allowance made
him by wealthy relatives.
Year after yea from 1853, with only a
break Of one year, when he got married,
Count Zeppelin has constructed all sorts
OF flying machines, making expensive
journeys TO Paris, London and other capitals
to watch the progress OF other a~eronauts
At last his income did not suffice and Count
Zeppelin and the equally enthusiastic
Countess began to sell the estates and we're
finally forced to face ruin and d~estitution.
After devoting some forty years TO a futile
attempt TO construct a successful flying
machine, Count Zeppelin applied himself
70 the construction OF a navigable airship,
borrowing the necessary funds from SYM
pathetic friends. The last unsuccessful
attempt was made in 1901, when the Count.
who was then So years OF age, in despair
publicly announced that he was determined
TO abandon his effort.
He managed, however, to collect funds
70 build another airship, which was COM
pleted this year. 1t had its first trial in
September and was reported to be a COM
psrative success. Subsequent trips. which
were watched by the King of WGrtemberg
and a distinguished company of expert
a%eronauts were comparative failures. The
witnesses unanimously passed an Unfavor-
able verdict on the machine.
Nevertheless the Count will try once more
next year. It is feared that after fifty years
OF ~unexampled perseverance he is doomed
again to failure.

GERMAN EMPIRE roo COSTLY.
Campaign Issue q Demand for ore Power
for the Reichstag.
Special Cable Dispatches 70 THE sun.

Special Cable Dispatches to THE Sus.
BERLIN, Dec. 29.-The political campaign
is rapidly developing on broad lines and il
10 becoming assured that IL will be fought
on the general issue that the Reichstag
shall exercise greater power in the govern
ment OF the empire. The reported COL
lapse OF the rebellion in Southwest Africa
will enable the Government to reduce
much OF its demands for expenditure in
that direction, but this will not be allowed
to obscure the greater principle which is
at stake.
The sensational facts regarding the vast
increase of national expenditure, the bulk
OF which has been raised by the increase OF
the national debt within a few years, are
creating a deep impression on tho electorate.
The highest colonial expenditure from
1893 90 1898 was s2,125y0 900. This year the
expenditure for the same purpose was
ISL $50 900.
Nearly all the expenditure in the former
period was met by the imperial revenue,
but during the Won Buelow administration
the national debt increased 1912 500 900.
The financial position Of the empire also
deteriorated. Consols, which were for
merly abou par, are now at 81, and largely
In consequence Of the demands Of the en-
pire for credit the bank rate has risen to
7per cent. Moreover, in spite of s45, 900 900
OF new taxation which was voted last spring
there has not only been no attempt to
reduce the debt. but a large deficit is an
ticipated In the estimates next year.
These facts are making a deep impress
sion on the people, but it is impossible to
forecast to what extent il at all popular
protest will be able to make itself felt in
the new Reichstag. The burden Of mill
tarism lis heavier upon Germany than any
other country. The bankruptcy Of nations,
which Is 80 freely prophesied il this policy
liz persisted in, threatens Germany most
OF all; hence the rising tide of revolt against
it become a spectacle which the world
may well watch with the keenest interest.

Spsca0 Cdbte Despatch % THE SUN.
LONDON. Dec. 29.-The new Prevention
Of Corruption act which becomes effective
at the beginning of the new year, is causing
tradesmen much worry in regard to its true
effect. Under the act. secret commissions
of all sorts are prohibited and a violation
Of the provisions of the law is punishable
by two years imprisonment and s., 500 fine.
Servants are prohibited from receiving
commissions from tradesmen unless hey
inform their employers. The act also
affects stock brokers, solicitors, builders
and estate agen's, with whom the giving
and taking or secret commissions is a
standing practice. Various hotel nag
in London have been instructed that COM
missions formerly given Wallets and c~ouriers
must be abandoned unless they inform their
employers about receiving a percentage
OF the money they spend.
These per~centages, which range from
s per cent. upward. formed a valuable
perquisite. which will now probably be
lost by a great number Of these servants.

LONDON, Dec. 2e.-The head masters Of
English public schools at a conference at

OF the pronunciation of Latin. Thirty years
ago it was generally agreed that the schools

following suit and the movement has not

The head masters his week again by a
majority OF 3 to 1 favored the Continental
pronunciation, but it is considered thai it
will be a long time before Oxford will aban-
don the English pronunciation, for which the
head master Of Westminster pleaded on the
ground that it was ineligible to English
men and helped them to understand their
