VALPARAISO UNIVERSITY
GRADUATES HAMMOND GIRLS.
Largest Number of Students in His
tory of the School Receive Diplo-
mas.-A. F. Knots and Congress
man Crumpacker Among the
Speakers.

Last night three hundred and fifty
students were graduated at the COM
mencement exercises of the Valpara-
iso university. Among them were
two from Hammond, Mary Eugenia,
and Anna F. Knots, the daughters
of Attorney A. F. Knots.
This is the largest number of stu
dents that has ever received diplo-
mas from this school in one year and
epitomizes the progress that this re-
markable school has made in the 33
years of its existence.
Many citizens of Hammond are
products of this institution and its
ex-students are numbered by the hun
dreds in this city.
Mrs Mary Hemstock, whose daugh-
ter Veda and son Roscoe, live in this
city, is at the head of the kindergar-
ten department Of the university,
which turned out nine students
The large auditorium was crowded
to its fullest capacity with the friends
of the students and many of them
found it impossible to find even
standing room inside of the building
Among the speakers of the even
ing were Professor w. E. Curtis
superintendent of the Lake county
schools. A. F. Knots and Congress-
man Crumpacker.
Last night the students continued
their festivities until late hour and
today thousands of them will depart
for their homes in every state in

Fire Laddies Have Every
thing Prepared for the
Visiting Teams.
LOOK FOR SEVEN THOUSAND
City Will be Given Over to Crowds
and Fun Will Last From Early
Morning Till Late at Night.

Everybody in East Chicago is
more or less a fireman these days and
about all the people are talking
about excepting the water question,
is dry hose runs, aluminium hats,
hooks and ladders and team races.
East Chicago is to be pardoned
for its enthusiasm for after weeks
of preparation in which the city
has been tidied and made ready for
its guests, tomorrow its firemen will
receive visiting companies from all
over Northern Indiana and will
royalty entertain them and their
thousands of friends who will go
along just to see what's doing.
Invitations were issued to Lowell,
Indiana Harbor, Whiting, Monticello,
Valparaiso, Crown Point, Robertsdale
and Rensselaer, and all of these de-
partments have accepted and are en-
thusiastic over the prospect.
1t is estimated that there will be
800 f1remen in the city and the crowd
of visitors that are expected to pour
into East Chicago is variously esti-
mated at from 5000 to 1000.
The business houses are to be gaily
decorated and there will be a parade
in the morning in which all of the

SHORTS RUSH TO COVER
Southern Pacific Moves in Sympathy
and Goes from Eighty-three

New York, Aug. 17-Probably
one of the biggest coups in the his
tory of Wall street was pulled off to-
day Union Pacific opening at
1853 u and without a moments hesi-

Lots of one to three thousand were

Early this morning it was rumored
that the Union Pacific had declared
a dividend and that the rate would
be on a 10 per cent basis. This
started shorts to cover madly, Gre

since the famous Northern Pacific

Gary Is Again Scene of an
Atrocious Outrage by
Hoboes.
DAUGHTER FLEES TO CALL AID
Authorities Are on Robbers Trail
Son-in-law May be Implicated
in the Crime.

Five me- entered a camp at Gary
this NJ ng and there held up and
robbed a Polish woman who was
with her daughter in the tent. They
took $75 and one man almost choked
her to death while the four others
were ransacking the tent to find the
money. She was found later and for
some time it was thought that she
would die. The first report was that
her own son choked her while the
other men took the money. This re-
port is unfounded
When the holdup men entered the
tent she put up desperate fight
to save her earnings. When her
strength failed her she screamed and
one of the men pounced on her to
choke her screams.
The authorities at Gary notified all
the officials in the county to hold any
suspicious looking characters. A for
eigner with gray trousers is espec-
tally wanted.
Deputy Sheriff Morris of this city
Immediately made preparations to
leave for Gary and the surrounding
country. as it is thought that the des-
peradoes are either hiding in the
woods or have gone to some nearby
town to spend the money in liquor
Chief of Police Rimbach has given
his men orders to obey the instruc-
tions regarding the holding of al
suspicious looking men that may
come into town.
The officers all over the county
are handicapped on account of the
poor facilities to communicate with
the authorities at Gary as there i
no telephone connection either there
or in Tolleston and telegraph mes
sages are delayed in relaying them il
/ transmission.

ran toward Gary and notified the peo-
pie there.
1t is thought that theswoman's SON
in-law is the instigator of the crime,
although he was not present at the
time. The hoboes had been hang
ing around Gary during the past two
weeks and the son-in-iaw was seen
in their company repeatedly. When
they first came to Gary they called
at the tent, but did not show any in
tention of robbing anybody.
At this time the officers have a
clew to one man.

ANOTHER ATTEMPT MADE
West Hammond Man Seems to be of
Swedish Descent.-Inquired
for Work Yesterday.

An unknown man killed himself
in West Hammond last night His
body was found by the village police
near the light plant and taken to
Emmerling's morgue in this city to
await the coroners inquest this af-
ternoon. While the police of the vii

ing a would-be suicide of Hammond
Frank Brenner of 284 Webster ave-
nue..
Since the suicide of the West Ham
mond man more than hundred peo-
pie have seen the remains and the
general verdict is that his appear
ance is familiar, but nobody seems to
be able to place him. Nothing on
his person is left to establish an
identity. Judging from his features
he seems to be of Swedish descent,
but inquiries in Swedish circles prov
ed futile.
He is man about 80 years old
of light build, with blonde hair and
blue eyes, and is dressed in a brown
suit
IN his pockets were found a small
piece of money and a gold watch. A
revolver was found beside the body.
The bullet entered the right tenn
pie and penetrated the left, evidently
killing him instantly
No motive can be ascribed to the
young mans deed, unless it was des-
pondency on account of lack work.
A gateman on the E. J. & E. cross
ing, who was at the morgue last
night, said he was positive that the
unknown man approached him yester-
day afternoon with a question to get
work on the railroad But the gate
man said that applicants for work
come around daily and that he paid
no particular attention to this man

The directors also took action on
Southern Pacific, declaring a divi-

also withheld until after the opening
this morning This stock opened
around S3, and as usual, followed the
lead of Union Pacific, selling at one
time as high as SO, representing an
advance of five points for the day.
The trade in these two issues was
the largest ever recorded in one day
on the stock exchange. For a time

ANOTHER BIG NIGHT
AT The ELkS' CARNIVAL.

The second night of the Elks' Car
nival of Nations, last night, was at
tended by more people tnan the first,
and the performance was more salts
factory in every way than on the
night before.
The free attractions last night
were pie eating contest and a bat
tie royal which was pugilistic con-
test with all the fighters standing in
barrels, and sometimes one good
blow knocked down four or FIVE men
at once. The vaudeville snow had a
splendid program that made a great
hit, hitting people oftener than some
of the licks in the battle royal The
McCartys put on fine act. The Nc
Cartys are to appear each night of
the snow in a new act. and their pop
ularity is increasing. The sextette,
Tell Me, Pretty Maiden by Misses
HedgcoXe, Keller and Virgins and
son, was a splendid number. Mr.. Did
rickson's monologue was good, as
was also the gymnasium act of Bill
lie Smith and a local sport
The receipts were satisfactory, and
if they continue, Roswell will soon
have an opera house more fitted to
the display of such talent and beau
ty as thronged the carnival grounds.
There will be a complete change of
program in the vaudeville show to-
night Among the free attractions
will be a sword fight between two
gentlemen of foreign birth. This act
will be worth the gate fee. the value
of the vaudeville show cannot be es-
timated in sordid money.
