corning which have appeared in the

light on the question:

FRIENDS SAY CRAZY
WITH THE HEAT"
However, the Light Com
pany Whose Wires Dan
Brown Cut, Differ.
Special to Lake County Times.l

South Chicago, July 27.-Whether
Dan L Brown. who is now in the
South Chicago hospital in a crippled
condition. was affected by the heat or
whether his intentions were to create
mischief, will be learned after he re-
covers in the hospital and after he an
swers in court TO the charge Of tres
pass.
Brown yesterday climbed on the
Commonwealth light poles and there
began cutting the wires, when he re-
ceived a shock which threw him to the
ground, a distance Of twenty feet, dis
locating his hip and injuring him other
wise.
At the hospital he said that he was
unable to give the cause for his action
Friends of his assert that his mind was
somewhat unbalanced from the heat
while the officials are inclined to
think that he was trying to get even
with the company because he had been
discharged some time ago as wire
man.

CONDEMNS BILLIARD HALLS.

A communication has come to this
office from Mrs. Henry Mccarthy of
West Hammond who bitterly condemns
the billiard hall proprietors in Ham
mond whom she alleges allow minors
from West Hammond to loaf in their
places and to play pool when they
should be at work.
She says she knows of several cases
where youngsters were supposed to be
at work. but instead would go to Ham
mond early in the morning and remain
there until night when they would re-
turn to West Hammond and tell their
parents they had been at work. Mrs,
Mccarthy also says she has told the
proprietors of these places not to allow
minors to play pool there but they have
paid no attention to this and she thinks
it is time for the Chief Of Police to take
some action in the matter.

always taken a great interest in it's
Improvement states few facts in re-

The Calumet region, which includes

in the production of iron and steel can
be brought together in this region
cheaper than in any other place on
earth. The facilities for distribution
are better than in any other place on

PUSHING A GOOD THING"
Almost Too Much Eagerness for Re
ward of Virtue.

The general manager of a traction
system of a western city recently re
ceived the following communication
together with a five-cent piece: 7
beg to advise you that a week or two
ago l rode home on car No. 1899, Of
your Main street line The car was
very crowded, and the conductor,
through no fault of his own, failed to
reach me. When l left the car he was
too far to the front to enable me to
get to him I, therefore, now remit
you the amount of my fare, and beg to
say that l would have done so sooner
had it not been that l was out of
town" This unusual occurrence was
reported by the general manager TO
the roads board of directors, with the
result that. by their instruction, an
annual pass was sent TO the honest
patron. together with a letter couched
in complimentary terms. The recip-
lent must have recounted his expert
ence TO his neighbors, for in a little
while the manager received a letter
from another patron, reading: I'm

lected to pay my fare on your line. ]

can never thank you enough for the
benefits derived from your wonderful
remedy" On. April %, 1907, nearly five
years later Mrs. Brown writes, You
may still refer any woman TO me. I
will gladly recommend Zoa-Phora.
Does this not prove that the benefit
was permanent?
This letter is strong proof of the
merit Of Zoa-Phora. The only way
that you can become positively con-
WINGED that Zoa- Phora will do as much
for you is to try the medicine your

DISABLED LAUNCH
CLEW TO TRAGEDY?
Empty Craft Found Float
ing, Causes Police to fear
For Former Occupants.
Especial to Lake County TimeS.)

South Chicago, July 27.-What may
serve as a clew to a tragedy was dis
covered this morning by Adolph John
son, a young boy who lives at 1896
Mackinaw avenue. while he was swim
ming in the river.
Young Johnson discovered a disabled
gasoline launch floating in the stream.
The rudder was broken, but everything
else showed that it was only recently
occupied. Johnson and his friends, who
were in the water with him, towed the
launch to the shore and made a re-
port to the police. II is thought very
probable that several of the smaller
craft were wrecked on Thursday night
owing to the high wind that was blow
ing, yet there were no reports of miss
ing persons.
The officials will take the launch into
custody until such time as they are
reasonably assured that it carried no
victims to their watery grave, or until
the rightful owner calls for it. Should
they fail in either case, they viii turn
the launch over to Johnson, who has
the first claim to it as the finder.

STATEMENT OF OFFICER
FRED NJ. FRENCH
by Fred NJ. Frenck.1

In regard to the article which ap-
peared in a local paper, (not the LAKE
COUNTY TIMEs) I wish to make a state
ment of the facts correcting some the
false impressions that could be CLEANED
from the article. The paper stated that
I failed TO turn over s27.50 which I
collected for Decoration Day services
to the Woman's Relief corps. I did
not try TO hold back this money or to
embezzle it, but simply did not know
who to turn the money over to. I was
never informed as to who was to get
the money, the G. A. r. or the W. r.
c.. both Of whom had a hand in the
affair. IN regard TO other bills, I wish
to say that I paid all the creditors and
but for illness in my family would have
paid them sooner. The whole sum OF
the bills owed did not exceed 500.

what indicate. Hard Times.


It has been the history OF govern
ment finance, in the United States at
least, that customs revenues were the
first TO show shrinkage in general in
comes. When man finds he is max
ing less money than he spends his first
impulse is to stop buying fancy for
eign articles and substitute for it one
equally as good" of domestic manu-
facture.
When the panic OF the early SOS first
made its appearance there was an
alarming shrinkage in customs re-
ceipts The expenditures kept up to
about the usual average. although there
was an attempt at economy. The re-
suit was that within a short time the
government found itself in a position
where it was paying out more money
than 1t was taking in. 1t had to resort
to the expedient of issuing bonds. which
were nominally to maintain the gold
standard, but the proceeds really went
to make up the deficit in the treasury.
The Cleveland BIunder.
The only 4 per cent bonds now out
standing in any large amount were is
sued by the Cleveland administration
at time when the government. in spite
or democratic economy, was spending
more money than it received.
How different II all IS now. We are
! redeeming high interest rate bonds
with per cent securities. and these
, government bonds at the lowest rate OF
| interest command a stiff premium In
the open market. The receipts for the
1 fiscal years just closed amounted to
the enormous sum of 1866. s06.134. while
| the expenditures were only s57s,3e0.-
/ 5s2 This left surplus of receipts over
expenditures for the last fiscal year OF
ss6.945.542 as compared with only $780,
1911 last year.
