Juvenile Rovers Have Warm
Spot in Their Hearts
For City.
ROLLING Stone RENDEZVOUS
More Round Up Here Than in ANY
Other Known Spot-Three,
Yesterdays Record.

The juvenile world evidently has
warm spot in its heart for Hammond
and it is estimated that more boys and
girls who are troubled with the rolling
stone habit head for this city than any
other in the middle west. 1t seems to
be- on a direct line to golden dreams
of the west, and also to the mystic sea
port Of the east. but anyway it is the
great unexplored country of the small
boys imagination.
No less than three little adventurous
lads were rounded UP in Hammond yes
terday One of the number, Ulysses
Scraggs. a colored boy Of 10. could
hardly be classed with the other two.
but is rather a victom of circumstances
He was raised in Lole, Ill. his mother
died and his father remarked, and the
boy was farmed out to a family who
moved TO southern Indiana. The family
tired Of the boy so he was shipped to
Hammond to join another family. When
he was compelled to go out stealing
coal he rebelled, according to his own
story and started out to look for new
home. He made his bed in the rear Of
livery stable for a few nights, but
was finally compelled to seek aid from
the police. Chief Rimbach is looking
for some kind hearted person who will
let the boy work for his board and
lodging.
Alfred futile, aged IA, and Charles
Kress, aged Is, did not like the state
OF affairs at their homes in Chicago
and started out to make name for
themselves, such that would make the
old folks repent of their former IN
kindness They got as far as Ham
mond, footsore and hungry and the
police did the rest. futile lives at 27S
Hirsch street and Kress at 263 Hirsch
street, Chicago. The parents were no
tilted and it is thought some of the
ambition will be taken out of the lads,
as their fathers came for them last
night with blood in stheir eyes and
shingles in their pockets.

ball played in the main. however, was
straight football.
Although the crucial game of the
season was lost yesterday, the boys
feel that the season as a whole was
decidedly successful. Yesterdays was
the first defeat they have suffered. and
the aspirations of many of the strong
teams of the league were tripped up
by the strength OF the local eleven.
The best that could be procured in
the city came out to Hammond and
made to bite the dust until the red
men met their Waterloo in the soldiers
of the U. S.
The season has been financially sue
cessful as the large crowds IN attend
ance have been most generous in their
financial support. The ticket scheme
has worked we'll and will undoubtedly
be worked next year when Hammond
is expected to produce an eleven which
no team in the league will be able to
vanquish.

CHICAGO is SHOCKED
Over Discovery That Society Has Been
BunCoed by Negro Girl Posing
as a White Person

as a w nAl0 EcISOu.
A Chicago dispatch says: 1t has
been the fortune of Cecilia Johnson, sis
ter of "Mush-Mouth@ Johnson, the ne
gro gambling king, whose Illicit traf.
fic has been the despair of the city,
reform element to furnish the great,
est sensation ever uncovered in the
University Of Chicago. AS a leader Of
society in the Rockefeller school and
member of one of the most exclusive
societies, she posed for more than
three years as a white girl and won
her way to the top of the varsity So
cial leader"
Cecilia Johnson has ben a student
in the university for five years, and
her social trlumphs extended over the
greater part of that period
Her card was always the first to be
filled in the numerous dances of the
university students, and her company
was sought after by all the young
bloods of the institution.
The discovery that she is the sister
of "Mush-Mou.h' johnson was made
scarcely a month ago, and since that
time she has ben dead to the exclusive
society. The discovery came as a
blow to the goods and men students
alike who had never suspected such
contingency.
The young negress lives with her
mother and brother at No. 1880 Wa
bash avenue, large two-story brick
house, loaded with luxurious furnish
ings. The goods tell stories Of won
derful mirrors, gold chairs and val
liable paintings by old masters which
adorn the reception rooms and the
front hall. The lower front windows
are barred and the back windows and
doors are guarded by immense iron
shutters and padlocks to prevent
thieves from carrying off the costly
decorations and plate.
The university goods claim in self
defense for their APPARENT haste in ia
king the girl to their hearts that she
never would have been recognized as
any other than an American Of good
family, owing to her light complexion.
Her second year in the university
she was elected president OF Engle-
wood House, one of the exclusive girl
clubs.
One of the Phi Delta Phi society
girls declared that Cecilia Johnson
had no claim to membership in the
order, even though she had been a
charter member of the society.

we found out that she had deceived

she will have to take the conse-

Testimony Regarding Conspiracy by Mine
Owners is Eliminated.
The field for argument, both for the
prosecution and defense of William D.
Haywood, has been limited by Judge
Wood, who, in a decision, handed down
in court at Boise, Friday, removed from
consideration by the jury all evidence
bearing on the alleged conspiracy by
mine owners and others against the
Western Federation of Miners. Judge
Wood decided that the defense had
made no legal connection Of the Mine
Owners Association, the Citizens Al

detective agency as laying founda-

the defense to show that the charge
against Haywood and his co-defendants
is the outcome Of a conspiracy to sx-
terminate the federation.

KOREAN EMPEROR OUT.
Japanese influence Forces Weak RuleT to
Ab6iCate ThrOne--Son Will
Take His Place.

Advices from Seoul state that the
emperor of Korea has turned over the
reins of government to his son, the
heir apparent.
Briefly, the emperor in the imperial
rescript Of abdication, expresses his
regret that during the forty-four years
of his reign national calamities have
followed in rapid succession, and the
peoples distress has become so agra
waited that he deemed it now time to
transfer the crown to the heir appar-
gnt in conformity with ancestral
usages.
The throne, lettering with fortyfour
years OF misrule, toppled Friday. Upon
his arrival, Viscount Hayashi, the for
eign minister of Japan, was greeted
by $4,000 Japanese, who were expect
ing the annexation of Korea.
A London special says: The emper-
or of Korea is without friend among
the governments of Europe sufficient
ly interested in the status of the an
Client Korean empire to interpOse a
word in his behalf. His majesty had
always been friendly with Russia, and
the outcome of the Russo-Japanese war
was great blow to him. He even look
ed to the United States for support.
When Edwin V. Morgan, who was
American minister to Korea from July
26 until November 29, 1905, when the
legation was abolished, refused the re-
quest Of the emperor that he take ref.
uge at the legation at the time the
Japanese were pressing the emperor
to sign a treaty giving Japan control
of the foreign affairs Of Korea, the
emperor of Korea was greatly disap'
pointed, and the Anal removal Of the
American legation was a great blow
and disappointment to him. Almost all
foreigners who know the emperor con-
sidered him as a well meaning but
weak man, and his son, the present
crown prince, is not regarded as an
improvement on his father.
A special from Toxic, Japan, says;
Speculation is rife among the foreign
ers in the city as to the origin of
the idea of pressing the abdication OF
the retired governor of Korea.
It is definitely known, however that
Marquis Ito, was only silent sDecta-
tor of the event, and that the idea
originated with the premier, Marquis
Salenji, strongly supported by the min
listers of agriculture and justice, both
of whom are strongly in favor OF
life of exile in Japan for the retired
emperor. Some thought that blood must
be shed before the abdication Of the
throne could be effected, but forum
ately that expectation was not fulfilled
and the aftermath is also likely to
prove les sserlous than present occur
rences at Seoul might indicate.
It Is believed that the wisdom and
resourcefulness of Marquis Ito will pre-
vent the spread of any agitation de.
signed to menace the general peace Of
Korea.
