Slot Machine Reformer Said
to Have an Nye to
Business.
STANDS ALONE IN HIS FIGHT
St. John Saloonkeeper Says He Was
Willing to Let Up For
Consideration.

There seems to be method in Hans
Englert's crusade against slot ma
chimes and other illegal carryings on
at Cedar Lake and other parts of
Lake county.
It does not appear that the spirit
of reform solely actuates Englert
any more than it actuates any other
''reformer who is "out" and wants TO
get in" He is not the representa-
tive of any reform league, anti-crime
society or law and order body. The
success of the work he has undertaken
might meet with the approval of such
bodies. but it does not appear that
they are standing for it.
A few lawyers at Crown Point are
said to be putting in the otherwise
dull season by spurring on the efforts
OF Englert Englert is accused of
being q mercenary reformer, pure
and simple, or impure and complex.
The sum total of his work up to
date is the securing of seventy-fve
indictments against as many liquor
/ dealers in the county for violation
OF the law. One of these indicted
saloonkeepers. whose place of busi-
ness is in St. John township, will 90
on the witness stand when the case
comes up and testify that Englert
+ offered to fix things up for $40. The
/ ST. John saloonkeeper did not pay
the ten but claims to have secured q
good full view Of Englert's hand
Englert was at one time a pros
/ porous business man in this county

and other gambling devices as sinful

are not trading with Englert. They
don't think he is sincere.
Advices from Crown Point are to
the effect that it is not likely that
any of Englert's cases will be prose-
cuted The campaign against the
country saloonkeepers was elaborate
to begin with 1t comprehended the
prosecution of persons caught sell
ing beer to the farmers on Sundays.
After a while this phase of warfare
was abandoned on account of the
discovery that Englert might 'lose
his plate" at some of wayside inns
which had been dignifying with his
patronage.

Had Made Threats.

Early in the evening the girl is
said to have threatened to take her
life. but her ribald companions told
her to "eheer up" and forget it,
She did not cheer up; neither did
she forget it.
Shortly after 10 o'clock she sought
the aeclusion Of a noisome, reeking
wine room. There, all alone. she
emptied the contents of a one-ounce
bottle of carbolic acid into a glass
and swallowed it. While the drug
was seering her lips she reached
for the electric button she knew toe
well, and summoned the bartender

WIND BLOWS DOWN MERRY GO.
ROUND.

The strong wind storm which
swept over the city yesterday after
noon did considerable demage to
property in various parts of the city.
The tent which covered the merry
go-round on North Holman street
was caught by the wind and torn to
shreds. The loss to the owner, Mr..
Tupper is estimated to be at least
$100. S. M. Trary, the man who is
running the affair said that the wind
reached almost cyclonic proportions
at one time during the storm.

was struck, causing slight damage.
The Western Union Telegraph wires
.atthis point were out of commission
until late last night. There was lit
tie damage in Indiana Harbor except
from a severe rain. No accidents
being reported.
The car service of the Hammond,
Whiting e East Chicago line was
quite badly interrupted. At least
four of the cars on the line having
their motors burned out.
The rain brought temporary relief
from the enormous heat from which
many persons about town suffered.

Ethel McNeill Goes the Way
Of Vice and Carbolic
Acid.
INVEST HAMMOND SLUM
Girl Said to Have Been Respectfully
Connected Ends Life of Bedizen-
ed Debauchery.

Ethel McNeilL aged Is and said
to be respectfully connected. swal-
lowed an ounce of carbolic acid in
wine room attached to the resort
called the "Vestibule" in West Ham
mond at 1910 last night. She died
shortly after. She was beyond medi-
cal aid the moment she put the
draught to her lips.
The immediate impulse of the sui
eide is not known but the causes
leading up to it are SO palpable in
the girls history and the life she
chose to lead-and end that the
simplest minded can understand.

Unclaimed by Kin.

Her body lies unclaimed by rela-
tives. unwept of school companions
in neighboring undertaking estab-
lishment. It will be buried at the
expense Of the denizens Of the neither
world whose companionship she
sought in the last short year of her
life.
THAT last year. Judging by the
surroundings was one of sordid de-
bauohery. There was none of the
elements of "genteel vice" in it. She
was the tool Of CONSCIOUSNESS persons
who cater to the lower instincts of
the lowest type of men.
When the bartender entered the
room he found the girl still sitting
in her chair but she was unable to
speak. There was great confusion
in the place for while and then
some one notified officer Barnie John
son who called a doctor. The acid
had taken effect in remarkably
short time. however, and by the time
the doctor arrived it was too late
to save the girls life.
The story of Edith McNeill's life
is sad one She came from good
family. but like many other girls
was the victim of an unscrupulous
man, and from the time of the birth
of her child has been an inmate oi
one of the unspeakable places in
West Hammond
She made a mistake and environ
ment did the rest.

Maxwell Was in Fine Form and Saved the Day for Mont gomery--The Score
 Was 8 to !.

By score of s to 2. the lact baseball game of the Memphis series went to the Climbers in what was just about the limit of nerve-racking. hair-raising
 Maxwell pitched his second game In this Memphis series and after the thtrd inning he pitched chanpionship game of ball. not a hit being made off him from then until the last of the ninth. In the first inning Maxwell got badly off, i've hits, including two- basger and home run. putting in
 In the second Inning Pfenninser gave the Climbers a pretty hard deal and at the same time gave the Egyptians couple of runs that they. were rot S sntisa Memphis s sns s adss tsdssrapn a1s two out and runners on second and third, when ball was hit to Maxwell, who .fielded it to Mullaney. The tele- graph operator said the runner was put by a foot. Mud evidently was so sure of it that he made no attempt to stop the men coming home. thinking, of two runners scored and Pfenninser called the man at first safe. And 1t came within an eyelash of costing Null laney the game. But. thanks to the consistent hitting of the Climbers. they nosed, out the game
 Maxwell unquestionably saved the game by his control in the ninth. He had been a puzzle to the Egyptians up
  two- -bagger and a single had scored a run, making the score to 2 in favor of Montgomery. There were two out and runners on second and third. Only one run was needed to tie the score, and clean hit would win the game. That unspeakable Frenchman. Nadeau. who has been hitting like fiend in these Memphis games, was up, and the crowd of fans in Higginss matinee hall held their breath, chawed paper and did things in their frantic excite ment. But Maxwell struck the French man out. and won his game. While he out four men. Thjel in the first. Carey and Cooley in she second and Nadeau in the ninth. and pitched brilliant game of ball after the third inning His support was fine. the team playing snappy ball behind him ands hitting consistently.
 Mullaney led the hitting with a couple of pinch two-baggers. the first one scoring two men in the 1st and the second one tieing the score in the fifth. Sam Apperious untied it with the first home run made by the Climb CTS. It came in the seventh inning. but, unfortunately. nobody was on base at the time.
 Charlie Schwartz was out of the game with lame ankle. and Bert Nobiett played a beautiful game at second, Hausen going in the field.
 The Climbers started in with a~Fush. HoutZ walked, was sacrificed by Nob- lett, got to third on Hausen's hit to right and scored when Brown made a bum throw to catch, Hausen at second on Apperious' hit to him. Hausen and Apperious both scoring on Mullaney's s
