Ne Can Do Little Who Can't Do This

This simple game has been puzzler
to little folks many and many time.
With stick in the left hand the play
er tbumps on the ground. at the same
time saying, "He can do little who
can't do this" Then, passing the stick
into the right hand, he gives 1t to the
next person, who, II unacquainted with
the trick, win no doubt thump with
the right hand. OF course 1t Is most
natural to use the right hand for ev-
erythlng; consequently few people sus-
pect that the secret lies in simply
taking the stick with your right hand
when 1t is passed to you, but knocking
with your left. Sometimes other tricks
are introduced, such as clearing The
threat or yawnlng just before saying,
"He can do little who can't do this"

BETTER SERVICE
FOR HAMMOND
Michigan Central to Change
Schedule, City Gets
More Trains.

Realizing the growth OF Hammond,
and the business that is transacted in
regard to traffic on the railroads, the
management Of the Michigan Central
railroad will hereafter schedule six adj
ditionaI trains to stop at this city.
These trains in the past were through
trains and did not stop at this station.
Several of the trains on the new service
will fill a long felt want. and will fill
in gaps that have long been a source
Of annoyance to the people of Hammon1
and the visitors here. Going west, or
to Chicago, the SOC a. m. train will
stop here to let off passengers and
the Pap train Will do the same thing.
One OF the best features of the ser
vice will be the S:24 p. m. train te
Chicago which he will now make a reg
ular stop at the Hammond station.
Going east the 11:10 express will stop
here likewise the 3:47 p m. and the
$40 p. M. Will stop when advance no
tice is given the station master so that
he may wire the train before it starts
| from the terminal.

RESENT CHIEF
SH|PPY'S ORDER
Labor in South Chicago En-
ters Protest Against Pro
hibition of Picketing.
IN TELEGRAPH STRIKE
Address Letter to Mayor Calling For
Revocation of Recent Mandate
and Threatening Violence.
(speciaI 30 Lake County Timenl

South Chicago, Aug 2S.-The South
Chicago Trades and Labor Assembly
has gone on record resenting the orders
Of Chief Shippy to his policemen to
prevent picketing of any nature among
the strike breakers for the telegraph
companies.
The assembly has addressed a formal
letter of protest to Mayor Busse Speak
of the action that the assembly had
taken and the position that Chief
Shippy is taking in regard to the
strikers. Otis A. Corner, secretary of
the assembly says
This organization deeply regrets
that it has come to a point where or
ganized labor must reluctantly recog-
nize that dollars are more sacred than
the rights Of the people. 1t should be
the duty of all good citizens to demand
in no uncertain tone that mayors and
chiefs of police confine themselves to
the execution of the law and leave the
legislature and other especially elect
ed officers of the law the lawgiving.
This Is the Letter.
The letter addressed by the South
Chicago Trades and Labor Assembly is
as follows:
AT meeting of the South Chicago
Trades and Labor Assembly, held on
Aug. 16, 1907, the order issued by Gen
eral Superintendent Of Police George NJ
Shippy, on Aug. IL, instructing all his
subordinates to arrest all pickets,
whether strikers or not. and whether
peaceable or not; was strongly and un-
animously condemned by that body.
I'VE believe Chief Shippy has AFRO
gated to himself powers such as are
entirely foreign to the high Office which
he holds under your administration. AS
| citizens of Chicago and grand Republic
| of the United States we respectfully
call your honor to Immediately cause q
revocation of the infamous order issued
by Mr.. Shippy on Aug. II.
We would further point out to your
honor that in spite of Mr.. Shippy's
order, picketing win continue until
| some miracle causes a radical change
in human nature. and experience has
already dernonstratedS that the more
openly and freely picketing has beer
conducted the less violence has been tn,
| result"
Respectfully yours,
THE CHICAGO TRADES AND LABOT
ASSEMBLY.

HANDS ROBBER
GOOD UNDERCUT
Attorney McAleer's Prov
ess and Wit Too Much
for Stickup.

A robber who attempted to steal the
diamond stud from the tie OF Attorney
W. ]. MacAleer last night at the Lake
Shore depot, in Chicago, Will have
lasting impression OF the prowress OF
McAleer's strong right arm. As big
husky fellow stepped up to the Ham
mond lawyer for the purpose of re-
lieving him of his jewel, little did he
realize what was IN store for him.
Mr. and Mrs. McAleer were about TO
return to Hammond on the 1885 Lake
Shore train when Mr.. McAleer became
thirsty and stepped to one side OF the
depot to get a drink. The water tank
was in one corner Of the building and
somewhat shaded from the light. BY
his side another man stood with the
evident intention of getting a drink
AS the Hammond man turned the sec
ond man suddenly reached forward and
GRABBED at Mr.. McAleer's tie.
With a suddenness that Jared on the
quickness of the would-be robbers
mental conception, the portly attorney
brought TO bear the prowress OF his
boxing ability and with an undercut
that would make Jeffries tremble
stretched the stick-up on the floor.
Two pals who had been watching the
proceedings from the immediate vi
cinity came to the assistance of their
down and-out comrade. With much
difficulty they succeeded in making
good their escape by force of numbers
and they made it In a most energetic
way To avoid any further annoyance
Mr.. McAleer did not report the matter
to the police and let the whipping of
the man suffice for the punishment for
the attempted robbery.

WILD ENGINE ON
ILLINOIS CENTRAL
Is Ditched at Sixty third
Street in Time to Pre-
vent Serious Wreck.

South Chicago. August Especial
An engine on the Illinois Central
ran away early today and was ditched
by the interlocker at Sixty-third street
just in time to prevent probably ser
ious wreck Of fast Chicago train
The engine. which was No. 571,
started on its wild run from Ninety
third street and sped through Grand
Crossing at q lively gait, almost crash
ing into Nickel Plate train at that
point
Continuing on its wild run the en-
CINE reached Sixty-third street, where
it was observed by the interlocker,
who quickly ditched the runaway and
prevented its crashing into a Chicago
fast train from the east
How the engine started is a mys-
terry, both to the railroad men and the
police. It IS recalled that about one
year ago a maniac boarded an engine
at about the same place and after OPP
ening the throttle leaped from the
engine. which sped madly down the
track and was halted just In time TO
avoid a serious smashup. The police
believe it possible that some lunatic
started the engine today.

EXPRESS COMPANIES TO FIGHT.

Indianapolis, August 27.-There are
indications that the express companies
operating in Indiana whose represen-
tatives have been ordered to appear
before the state railroad commission
and submit data regarding tariffs, CAPT
talization and earnings will resist the
order so far as it relates to capitali-
cation and earnings, on the ground
that their companies are not chartered
under the laws of this state and that
the commission is exceeding its power
when il makes such a demand. The
right of the commission to inquire into
its tariffs is not questioned, but 1T is
denied that the earnings, dividends paid
and amount of capital are Legitimate
subjects of inquiry.

TO Be LAUNCHED
Salt Lake City Will be Cast
Off Tomorrow in East
Side Slip.
Especial to Lake County Tfmesl

South Chicago, August 2s.-Unless
there is a hitch in the plans of the
officials of the American Shipbuilding
company, the new freighter, Salt Lake
City" of Fairport, will be launched to-
morrow at noon. The ship, $40 feet
long, now stands In the dry dock,
ready to be cast off tomorrow, and
while it is ready for the water there
are still many details that will keep
the carpenters busy for a few more
days after the launching.
The launching will take place at the
slip on the East Side. The name of
the lady to whom the honor of chris
tening the boat falls, has not been an
nounced as yet, but in shipbuilding
circles it is thought that it will rather
be woman from Cleveland instead
of from Chicago.

TERRIFIC PANIC
RESULTED FROM
CRASH ON l"

New York. July FIFTY or more per-
tally. in a rear-end collision between two
trains of the Third avenue IL" road late
hast night at One Hundred and Fourth
street and Third avenue.
Fourteen cars filled with men. women
and children who had been at the feast
OF Our Lady OF Lourdes, were in the ac
cident and during the frightful panic
that ensued scores OF children were seen
running along the tracks near the deadly
third rail, adding terror TO the situation.
Fire Immediately started.
All the Third avenue trains coming
south from the Hundred and Sixteenth
street section. shortly before midnight.
in addition to having the regular Harlem
crowds aboard, were jammed To the gates
with the worshippers from the feast, who
boarded the cars at that station.
A seven car train, drawn by motor car
No. 4s1. was Just leaving the One Hundred
and Fourth street station. with every car
filed, when the second train came tearing
along at almost full speed and crashed in
to the last car Of the rrst train.
The impact shattered The two colliding
cars as II they were of pasteboard. Half
the roof Of one car was torn off. its rear
truck piled up on the debris. and its sides
thrown into the street and on the second
track.
Next the lights went out. and gloom
settled on the trains. Then a terrible
shrek went up from one OF the badly In
jured, and the next second hundreds, In
the terror Of their panic. were screaming
and trying to escape from the cars.

aside by the stronger ones In the mad
battle for life.
Many mothers who had large families
OF children with them fought like tigres-
ses TO keep their young near them, and
many women were hurt I'm this way.
Their children were torn from them and
kicked aside in the panic, and some Of
the mothers, thinking the only chance OF
escape for the young ones was 10 get
them out of the cars before they burned
up, began to drop the children out of the
windows. bidding them fee for their
lives.

CORONER FILES
VERDICT ON
CH|LO's DEATH

Coroner Thomas r. Vance of Pawtucke
today filed in the office Of the clerk Of ths
superior court his findings on the deatl
OF Esther r. Almond. a Child. killed by
an electric car on July Sth at Pawtucket
No one is held responsible for the childt
death.
The important part OF the coroner,
report is as follows:
II examined u witnesses, some Of whom
were passengers on the car, and other
who were present and saw the fatality
All OF the witnesses agree, with the excep
ton OF one, that the car was going dowr
Weeden street. at about noon. toward,
the business part OF Pawtucket; that
was going slowly; that when near tn,
corner OF Rufus street and Weeden stree
little girl, Esther r. Almond, aged abou
four years. suddenly appeared on the cal
track in front of the car and was struck
that the car was stopped very quickly, be.
fore IL had gone car length. and that tn,
little girl was found under the car be.
tween the forward and rear trucks. Ths
motorman testified that he did not see thu
little girl until the car was within a few
feet OF her and that he stopped the car
within a car length after IL struck her.
From a fair examination of the testi
mony 1 can see but one conclusion Il
draw, and that is that II was an unavoid.
able accident, for which no person is t<
blame.
II find and record upon the testimony o,
witnesses that the injury resulting in the
death OF said Esther r. Almond was MOI
received by the neglect OF any person O,
corporation, but was the result of acct
dent and misfortune"
