1000 PEOPLE ATTEND PICNIC
Especial to THE T1MEs).

Crown Point, Ind, Sept. 1.-THE
Woodmen's picnic given here last Sat
urday by the Lake County Log Rolling
association was a success in many
ways, with the exception of the crowd,
which did not come up to the expeeta-
tions of those who have worked hard
to make the affair success.
Many reasons are given for this and
when the hard times, weather, the re-
cent fairs and Labor day celebrations
are taken into consideration, it is easy
to see why the crowd was not larger.
Many of the members and teams of
the association who had promised to
make an appearance and participate
in the days amusements, failed to show
up. so part of the morning program
had to be abandoned
1000 Visitors in Town.
About 1000 people congregated at
the fair grounds during the afternoon
to participate in and witness the pro-
gram of races that were arranged by
the association. The following were
the winners in some of the events. In
the motorcycle race, c. Brown of
Southeast Grove was the winner and
was awarded the prize. Andrew New
man captured the running races and
sprints, while young Mracek easily won
the running race, his horse easily de-
feating the other starters. In the tug
Of war Crown Point defeated the Ham,
mond team but were In turn van
pushed by the Boone Grove team. Miss
Wayne Laws won the ladies' hitching
contest.
Dance i'm the Evening.
In the evening a good sized crowd
danced to the Hand orchestra of Chi
cago. which proved to come up to their
reputation, furnishing some of the best
music ever heard in Crown Point. In
the prize waltz Claud Sigler and Miss
Clara Pinter proved to be the best
dancers and were awarded the prize.

on the picnic, when all the bills are

selves lucky, but will wait next year
for more opportune time to hold

ARREST POOR WOMEN
FOR PICKING GOAL
Goes to Waste Along the

Officials of B. & O. and Pennsylvania
Railroads Very Active-Get
Little sympathy.
JUDGE TORRISON IS LENIENT

1t seems that the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad officials have been unusually
on the alert the past few weeks in ar
resting scores of Polish women in their
yards, and along their right Of way for
picking up coal.
1T is known fact that there are
hundreds of Polish families and others,
who are in actual need in this district,
whose husbands have been out of work
for the past year. They have no means
of securing any money with which to
procure fuel, and the small amount
of coal which they can pick up from
the tracks would be of no consequent
loss to the. company. In no case have
the women, who were arrested and
brought to the local court, taken any
coal from the cars, but have picked
up that which had fallen on the track
These women little know what the flu
ture months may have in store for
them, whether they will have any
means of securing COAL and they are
only preparing for the winter months
to come.
Pick Coal On Tracks.
OF course the company must have
some way of protecting their proper
tltos anu w nCil lllSlI OlhGi6iS see men
who are actually taking coal from the
cars. that is another question, and it
is their duty to arrest them. On Fri
day and Saturday at least eight diff
ferent women were arrested and
brought to the South Chicago station.
Their cases were tried before Judge O.
NJ Torrison, who released them on
their promise to keep out of the yards.
One was a woman carrying three
months -old baby Evidence showed
that her husband had been out of work
for the past ten months. A Superior
avenue grocer had been furnishing
these families groceries during that
time on credit, in the hopes that when
the mills resumed their activities he
would be paid. This family had no
way of procuring fuel, what little they
had in the past was picked up from
! the tracks It was only mothers In
stinct to know that she must provide
for her starving babes during the
winter months, and that they must have

Pennsylvania Road Burns Ties.
Other similar cases have come up in
court of women arrested by the Penn
sylvania Railroad company. They also
! have been released.
| Another case Of greed of the rail-
roads was noticed by a TINES re-
porter on Saturday morning along the
| Pennsylvania tracks at their crossing
| at Ewing avenue and One Hundredtt
! street. On the side OF the track was
to be seen a huge pile of railroad ties
on fire, which the company had taker
/ fromthe tracks.
| Hundreds of men in the Calumet re-
| gion would have only been too glad tc
carry away these ties and burn them
| for fuel during the winter. But no
| the Pennsylvania company would
rather burn them up, than to give then

have at one time been in their en-
ploy, and turned big round dollars into
the company's Golfers by the sweat OF
| their brow.

Ifeyed That sewage Has Driven
Fish Far Into the Lake.

Within the past few days the largest
fish catches have been made in South
Chicago and vicinity this season. Dur
ing this time enormous catches have
been made from the government piers.
On Saturday the South Chicago fish
market was swamped with the 'tfnny
tribe and many were shipped to Chi

Local fish dealers have had an I'M
usual dull season this year, and were
at loss to know the cause, unless it
was from the fact that the bad sew

Steal Cash Register.
At a. m. Sunday thieves broke into
George Buckingham's saloon in Miller
and taking the cash register in their
arms deliberately carried it away.
There was very little money in the
register but there was $50 in checks,
payment on which has been stopped.
The men gained entrance to the sa-
loon by way of a window at the side
of the house and seemed to be very
well acquainted with the premises
saloon and then after securing a hand
car on the Baltimore & Ohio railroad
made their escape.
Yesterday Town Marshal Edward
Klopf, who has been working on the
case, found the cash register down the
track and in it was note which read
I'VE got all we wanted and didn't have
to break your machine"
Mr. Buckingham thinks II was very
considerable of the thieves not to break
up his cash register when they had
the chance.
Is Robbed Regularly.
The Buckingham saloon has beer
robbed two or three times in the past
year or so, and Marshal Klopf is con-
WINGED that it was the work of mer
who knew the premises.
The robbery caused considerable ex-
element in Miller and Marshal Klopt
worked on the case all day yester-
day. At first he thought he had 8
good clew as to the identity of the
thieves.
He arrested Frank Hort and Charles
Jody of Pittsburg and held them or
suspicion, but finally released then
when he discovered that he could moi
connect them with the robbery.
The payment on the checks was
stopped and SO it is not likely thai
Mr.. Buckingham will lose very much
money. The cash register was found
intact.

The Return of School Days.


Vacation over, home again, and hun
dreds of girls and boys are well in
stalled In their school work ere this
and while many of them are happy,
Sh akespeare's idea of "the school boy
creeping like a snail to school" holds
good with a large number, and ever
will, SO long as there are children and
schools.
How little they realize that school
days are indeed the happiest in their
lives! 1t is hard to make children be-
lieve this, for their little troubles and
trials seem to them just as great as
those of grown up people, and
they refuse to accept the experience
which others whose lives are farther
advanced represent.
eff only the advantage of an edu-
luctant girl or boy" said a. young
school teacher the other day.
There are so many who would like
the opportunity of attending school IL
they only could" she continued.
EVERY time I think of the reluc-
lance with which the average child,
boy or girl, approaches the classroom,
1 think of a figure that stands out in
my memory as the most pathetic :,
have ever known" said the interesting
talker.
Wont you tell me about it?" I
asked.
Yes" she answered.; and this Ia the
path etic story she told:
Several years ago 1 taught a class
in which there was girl of about 16
She was several years older than most
of her classmates and was member
of family which had come to the city
from the mountains. They were ignor-
ant people, having little education, but
the girl was beginning to see the pos
sibilities that lay before her.
Tier task was no easy one, however,
for her family was poor, and often she
was compelled to stay away from school
to help her mother with the washing
which the latter took in. One day she
was at school when one of her little
sisters came and told her she was
needed at home. The poor girl laid her
head on her arms and cried. Then she
went out quietly.
"She didn't come back any more. Inc
struggle at home against poverty be-
came so keen and there were so many
other children in the family who de-
served chance to learn that this girl
gave up her ambitions and her hopes
and sank into the life of drudge. To
my mind that failure represented the
greatest tragedy I have ever wit
messed"
Shouldn't this stand as a signal light
to the girl or boy who is blessed with
the privilege of attending school?

To Make Good Coffee.

French chefs are supposed to be the
best makers of coffee In the world. In
our own country, New Orleans is uusur-
passed in the art of coffee making, the
Creole chef being part and parcel of his
French brother. No other part of the
menu is SO important to the Creole cook
as the pot of coffee. No wonderful dish
of herbs and eggs. broiled pompano or
gumbo file is given preference
