LARGEST WOMEN'S MEETING
EVER HELD IN HAMMOND,
Rev. SheIburne's Service Yesterday
Afternoon Drew Big Gathering of the
Fair Sex--Last Nights Attendance "a
Record Breaker.

At a sort of 4 revival clearing house,
where the reports from the various re-
vival meetings over the country are be-
ing received at the end of each week,
it has been reported that the Hammond
meetings are the most important of all
in the whole United States.
This is figured from the standpoint
Of the attendance, the size Of the cho-
rus and the number of conversions.
The record for last week was sixty
seven. all Of whom have united with
the church, forty five being converted
at yesterdays meetings.
What is equally remarkable as the
work Of Mr.. Shelburne. is that Of Mr.
Knight. who has succeeded in getting
together nearly $50 singers. They are
all well trained. considering the length
OF time they have been under DIT.
knights direction. and it is said that
never in the history of the city has
there been such splendid music at a
religious meeting.
The woman's meeting in the after
noon was complete success and a
count of those present revealed the
fact that there We're 7S6. Tkis is the
| largest number Of women ever gather
ed together in Hammond.
In the evening the attendance record
was broken when 1.479 people. includ-
! ing those in the chorus. crowded into
the tabernacle. The interest in the
meetings may be imagined from these
| figures.
| Rev. Shelburne's address to the wo-
| men in the afternoon was full of good
/ Suggestions. 1t was a plea for more
OF the fashioned wives and moth
ers \ mems meeting is to be held
next Sunday. and an effort is being
made to secure a larger attendance
| than the women did.

DECISION STARTS
RIOT At BALL GAME
Irate Ball Players Attack
Umpire Smith and Bad
ly Injure Him.

South Chicago, July 15.-During a
ball game at Bessmer park three were
severely injured yesterday and one may
die as the result of a riot during the
games progress when Umpire John
Smith called a strike on one Of the
members of the Eclipse team.
When the decision was given, WILL
lam Novak, one of the Eclipse players.
started on a run for the umpire, and
slammed him one on the nose. Down
goes the umpire only to raise to his
feet with knife in his hand. Making
a drive for Novak. he stabbed him twice
in the hip. Stanley Soveslxi was next
to put a 'crinp in the imp. Soveskf
ran towards the latter and swinging
the bat as though he was soaking out
homer. struck Smith, who went to
the ground. BY this time the police ar
rived on the scene and quelled the dis
turbance.
Smiths assailant was arrested and
taken to the police station where he
will answer a charge of assault and
battery.
About 1000 people were at the game
and for a time it looked like the en-
tire crowd would participate in the riot.
They would undoubtedly have done so
but for the arrival of the police.

HANDICAP TO POLICE.
Savings of BOarders Recovered Efter
Chase I'm Patrol Wagon--Andresv
Osckf the Thief.

South Chicago, July 15.-Andrew
Oscki stole an iron safe yesterday and
carried it off under his arm The po-
lice department resented this expression
of contempt for it's members and
showed Oscki that he could not carry
that much weight as handicap and out
run a whole precinct.
Oscki was Joseph Piank's star board
er at 1852 Mackinaw avenue. Plank S
boarders had money. Plank bought a
6x4 inch safe for their accommodation.
The safe was I'm Piank's front room
yesterday afternoon. So was Oscki.
Likewise $50 of the boarders money.
Plank went for a walk. When he
came back all three ESSENTIAL elements
in the savings economy of his estab-
lishment had disappeared.
Hello. there" said Plank over the
telephone to the South Chicago station
fellow stole my iron safe and carried
it off,
The patrol wagon was hftched up for
the chase. Plank was able tb tell
which way the man went and the race
was direct and exciting. Oscki was held
in $500 bonds this morning.

the deal by which the Indiana Harbor
railroad becomes the owner of the

the Chicago Junction Office at West
Hammond and began his work there
tins morning. There will be CORES
ponding changes along the whole line
and it will be some time before mat
tiers become settled.
The officials of the Indiana Harbor
railroad have been repeatedly taken
over the lines of the new railroad in
order that they may become familiar
lied with it tnd the road is.now under
men.
This move Will greatly increase the
Importance OF the positions Of the
Indiana Harbor officials and the road
and from now on will be considered

IS MADE
TO BURN STOCKADE
Chief Martin Of Gary Sees
Firebugs But They
Elude Him.

That an attempt was made to destroy
the Dearborn Park stockade and the
buildings that are enclosed by them
and that this attempt may have been
the work of men who were seeking re-
taliation for the attempt to blow up
the home of Blind" John Condor is the
belief of Clark Station residents whose
attention has been called to the matter.
Yesterday Chief of Police Martin of
Gary was driving in the vicinity of the
deserted stockade when he noticed two
men ripping out a board in the fence.
AS soon as they saw the chief APP
proach they ran away and left behind
an old suitcase. An investigation re-
vealed the fact that the case held two
sticks of dynamite, fuse caps and three
large bottles of gasoline.
An effort was made to capture the
men but they succeeded in getting
away without being unprecedented. The
incident has caused considerable gos-
sip among the people of Clarke Station
who fear the war between the big
gambling kings viii be carried to their
peaceful little village.
1t is likely that a Waterman will be
placed at the stockade hereafter and a
careful watch will be placed on the
buildings to see that they are not de-
stroyed by fncendiaries.

WHITING NOT
Affected BY STRIKE
The Firemen's Walkout at
Standard Oil Plants Does
Not Menace Local Men.

In spite Of the decree or the Central
Labor union in Philadelphia that all
of the firemen in the employ of the
Standard oil company should go out on
strike today. it is not likely that the
local plant at Whiting will be affected.
The men at Whiting have just had
their little matter out with the com
pany and are satisfied with the raise
they received OF % cents an hour in
place Of 221a cents.
The secretary Of the Whiting union
was interviewed this morning and said
that the men were satisfied with what
they were getting and that he did not
think they would strike even if the
firemen in the rest of the country did
go out
1t is said that several thousand men
will be affected throughout the country
and that the trouble arises not only
about the matter Of wages. but over the
fact that the company has demanded
that the men leave the union.
Everything is quiet in Whiting and
there is not even a hint of labor dis
turbances. The strike in the east will
begin tomorrow.
