FOREIGNERS TAKE
FIRST DEGREE
Naturalization Mill Hangs
New Record for Times
of Peace.

This district OF Indiana. whose of
fees are in the federal building, took
the blue ribbon last month in the num-
Der of foreigners who took out natural
ization papers. Every other district in
the state did a small business COM
pared with that. of the local office in
which twenty-five foreigners made
their declaration of intention. 1t was
also the best month in the local office
aside from a month in which an cleo
tion has been held when the politicians
are after the vote of the foreigners.
The reason for the strenuous month
is because of the action of the car
penter's union in compelling their
naturalization before they are allowed
to join that body. 1t is said that steps
will be taken in the same direction by
the bricklayers, hod- carriers and sew
eral other bodies who have noted the
good effect it has had in eliminating
undesirable members from the car
penter's organization. If the clauses are
adopted. as it seems probable they will
be. Deputy Clerk Surprise will have his
hands full in handling the number OF
applicants. This action tends to bring
in a large number of applicants who
would not find it necessary otherwise
unless induced to de SO at election time
and brings them in for a good purpose

JAMESTOWNS MODEL

Norfolk. "a. July 2.-The official
statement issued by officers in charge
to the effect that Captain Charles ].
Symonds. commanding troop Fl Of the
Twelfth United States cavalry, sta
toned at the jamestown exposition
grounds, has the most complete model
camp at the exposition, following as i
does, the official report. issued recently
stating that the military encampment
in general was ideal. comes at a fortun-
ate time. fnasmuch as it Will brand any
further unfavorabIe criticisms Of the
encampment as false. Colonel Phillip
Reade. commanding the Twenty third
Regiment Of the United States infantry,
also stationed at the exposition, COM
plimented Captain Symonds, most high-
" upon his camp.
The company kitchens of troop Fl are
complete1s fy-screened and concrete
sinks have been laid for the drainage
Of the camp. Frame hospital tents,
with the finest army mattresses. have
been supplied to the men of Captain
Symonds' troop and his stables are as
perfect and clean as those Of a regular
post garrison. An inspection OF his
saddle rooms found them in apple pie
order and his command holds the rec
ord for health in the camp, not
single man being on the sick list. An
amusement hall is being erected which
will contain billiard and pool rooms
also a reading room, a sure method of
keeping the men away from question
able resorts during leisure hours.
Taken as whole, the Twelfth
cavalry camp is a model one, and in
every respect upholds the high tra1i-
tions of the organizations that have
always been maintained, both in the
tropics and in this country.

VOTE DELUGE
FLOODS OFFICE
Corps of Employees Unable
to Determine Standing
of Contestants.
TOMORROW
Official Announcement To Be Made
Then and Winners viii Be
Determined.

Owing to the fact that it was i'm
possible to make a count of the votes
all over the county in the time which
was allotted, the official announce
ment of the winners of THE LAKE
COUNTY TINES Jamestown contest will
not be made until tomorrow.
All day Sunday and Monday the
votes came in in such great foods that
it was impossible to count them yester-
day and today. In the counting room
big tables were piled high with the
votes and corps Of assistants were
required to count the ballots and en-
ter the subscriptions on the books.
Last night the work was continued
until late hour in the hope that the.
announcement Of the winners could
be made today, but the task swas too
great and by noon 1t was seen that
the results could not be accurately
known until tomorrow.
The contest has been even a greater
success than was at first anticipated
and all preparations to handle the
votes were found inadequate. In one
case a young woman turned in nearly
100000 votes all in lump and there
were several other cases that were
similar.
The race became so close in some
cases that a matter of a couple of hum
dred votes would have affected the re-
suit This is what made it impossible
to make an announcement until the
official count was made.
The announcement Of the winners
and the number of votes that have
been cast for each of them will be the
most interesting thing about the con-
test. Their standing was surprise to
even the employees in the circulation de-
partment who have been in a good po-
sition all along to judge as TO the
/ result
| 1t was suspected that several Of the
/ young women were holding back votes
and this was found to be true several
/ hours before the contest was closed.
In some cases the number Of votes that
J had been recorded for a certain con-
testant were doubled in the final count.
/ However. there has been one in
/ falible guide by which the stand
+ ing Of the candidates might be deter
mined and that was the work which
they were doing. Wherever one of the
i young ladies got out and worked con-
sistently and conscientiously she was
rewarded with results. and this proved
to be the only way of getting results.

LOOKING FOR
GOLD TOOTH BERTIE
Likewise the Gemmen Wot
Caused Her to Leave
Her Happy Home.

There is a broken home in Chicago,
and a fine looking colored woman with
a wealth of gold in her front teeth is
somewhere in Hammond while her hus-
band with blood in his eyes is search
ing high and low in this section for
her and the man with whom she eloped.
There will be no sweet forgiving scene
when he meets the pair and-well he
has the finest razor with the keenest
edge all honed and without a nick in
the blade.
Billy Mathews had a fine little fat
all prepared when he got married at
3163 Groveland avenue. Chicago, and in
the district, BERTHE Mathews. his bride.
was the reigning queen. She was the
idol of the neighborhood and the other
bellies envied her good fortune and her
accomplishments. But more than ail
they envied the 14-carat gold which al
most entirely covered her snow white
teeth and which she displayed with
great pride every time she opened her
mouth.
The happiness lasted many moons
until Hen Thomas, the sport, blew into
the neighborhood. He was such a rake
really the village cut up-and how
the girls did admire him. He met Bertie
at social and it was all off. The
happy home was forgotten in the gold
en- promises of the cut up.
And now Bill Mathews Is on the war
path and looking for the pair VINO -
thinks came to Hammond or here
abouts. He landed in this city last
night and Immediately notified the po-
lice He will continue the search unit
he lands the pair if he has to trave
