: WHITING NEWS
Battling Has an Experience.

Battling Nelson got in wrong on MS
trip to Whiting on Monday.
Bat" was looking for the residence
of Warren Renne, which Is at Central
avenue and One Hundred and Eigh-
teenth street, and where he was to
have been entertained. Going down
Laporte avenue, which is one block
east, he went into the house he thought
to be the Renne home. Going up the
stairs he pressed the door bell, but
there was no response. After doing
this for some moments he evidently
began to think he had been stung, be-
ing invited to house and to find no
one at home. Putting his card under
the door he went to the next house
and asked the lady who came to the
door whether or not Rennes, next door,
were at home. The lady informed him
that the Renne family did not live next
door, but one block west The pugilist
was certainly surprised to find out that
he had been mistaken, and told the wo-
man he wished he could apologize for
leaving his card under the door of her
next door neighbor.
Not many moments elapsed before
| the mistress of the house returned
home. Having been to the store she
had her arms full of bundles, and when
unlocking the door she saw the card
| on the floor. Going to the next room
to put the articles on the table she re-
| turned to get the card to learn who had
| called upon her during her short alb
sence. Picking up the card she was
amazed to see Battling Nelson, Cham
/ pion Lightweight Of the World" Aft
er bordering over the incident for some
| moments she went next door and told
her neighbor of finding Nelson's card
under the door, and said she thought
she had better dress up in armor to pre-
pare for his return.
1t was then that the two stories were
| put to gether and the true facts were
sifted out, that Nelson had called at
house No. 1 by mistake and that the
mistress of house No. 2 was engaged
in conversation with none other than
the champion lightweight of the world.
The incident has passed around the
neighborhood and whenever house
wives in the vicinity of One Hundred
and Eighteenth street and Laporte av-
enue hear of Battling Nelson the mis-
| take of the card will be rehearsed.

NOTED BOY JUDGE IS
COMING To HAMMOND


]. Eugene Shook, pastor of the Pres
byterian church in this city. who is a
personal friend of Judge Willis Brown
the author of an ideal Juvenile COURT
law and noted lecturer on subjects
pertaining to boys, has by personal
solicitation persuaded Mr.. Brown to
spend Sunday IN Hammond where he
will speak three times.
Judge Brownsfs said to be- a remark
able character and, his hold on boys is
wonderful He Is toA.be in charge of
the Winona Boy city this summer and
1T is expected that this institution will
attract even more attention than It did
last year when newspapers all over the
country commented on the doings OF
this city of youths.
For a great many years Judge Willis
Brown has had an enviable reputation
as a leader of boys and today he is rec
ognized as one of the greatest authori-
ties on the child problem and Juvenile
courts in the world.
Judge Brown was formerly of Chi
cage, but he was called from that city
to write a .5uvenile court law for Salt
Lake city. He drafted what has since
come to be considered the ideal educa-
tionai court law, entirely removing

Santa Barbara, Cal. April 24.-An-
other round of festivities for the of
fcers and men of the American fleet
will begin tomorrow afternoon. when
the sixten battleships of the Atlantic
squadron will cast anchor in the harbor
off Santa Barbara for five days stay.
The city already is filling with Wis
itors and sight-seers and never before
have its streets and buildings been so
profusely decorated. Triumphal arches
have been erected at many street in
tersections, and immense signs that
burn with the word Welcome" are
among the decorations

A fund of thousands of dollars raised

this institution from criminal procedure
and from politics.
Mr.. Brown was induced to return to
Utah to take the administration of
the law he instigated. Stories from
Judge Browns court are quoted almost
daily in the newspapers.
When the boys are sentenced to the
state industrial school or the deten-
ton home the judge gives them the
money and their commitment papers in
the court room, bids them goodbye
and they go on honor.
The Utah law is now recognized as
the highest type in the land and not
only has Judge Brown ben instrument
al in the establishment of six like
courts in other cities, but it's features
are involved in a bill before congress
and both England and France are using
it as a basis for juenvile court law.
Next Sunday morning Judge Brown
will talk on the subject nearest to his
heart to the congregation of the Pres
byterian church at 1915 a. m. He will
address a meeting for boys and men
at the Masonic Temple at p. m. and
he will speak in the Methodist church
in the evening. AS Judge Brown
usually charges 800 for his lectures
the people of Hammond have an ex-
ceptional opportunity to hear him.

1907 One of these was Vincennes
township, in Knox county, containing
the city of Vincennes In 1902 the
trustee of that township spent ST.
S58.25; in 1904, s5.49S.72 The last
three years have been steady de-
crease IN the amount given the poor
Vincennes; the expose in 1907 amounted
to $2,111.SS. Another township whose
record has undergone a noteworthy
change is Union, in Montgomery coun-
ty, containing the city of Crowfords-
vile. In 1905 the trustee of that town
ship spent s6,s25.53 in aiding the poor;
in 1907, $2,9S5.47. Many similar ex-
amples could be cited. No township
in the state. however, has made such
a reduction in its poor relief as Port
age, in st. Joseph county, containing
the city of South Bend. In 1907, 1898
and 1899 the trustee spent an average
of $13,805.18 annually. Then a new
trustee took charge of the Office at once
to weed out a long list of unworthy
pensioners on the public treasury. The
result was a reductin in 1900 to ST.
066.74, and even that sum, low as it
was in comparison with former ex-
penditures, has never since been
reached. In 1907 Portage townships
outdoor poor cost the public $1,2s1s6.
