HARBOR PEOPLE KICK
Poor Approach to Lake
Shore Depot Causes
Complaint.
Especial to THE T1MEs1

Indiana Harbor, Ind, Sept. 17.-There
has been considerable complaint at In
diana Harbor because of the poor ap-
proach. to the Lake Shore depot there
The old board walk which served the
been torn out by the city and has not
been replaced by anything else.
The Lake Shore depot has been used
by more people in Indiana Harbor than
any other and yet there is not a pas
senger who goes to this depot who
does not have to wade through sand
to the shoetops before he can get
to the station.
There is also a great deal lacking
in the way of identifying the vicinity
of the depot and the impression that
the outsider gets of Indiana Harbor is
no very favorable.
Mr.. G. ]. Bader said the other day
that he thought it was a shame that
the city or the railroad did not make
some effort to improve the looks of
the depot and the approach to 1t.
He believes that walks should be
put in so that the patrons of the road
especially the women, could get to the
and difficulty. :
The people of Indiana Harbor are
meeting with the same difficulty as the
citizens of the other cities of the re-
gion regarding the identifying of the
entrance to the city from the railway
stations and the clamor for the city
| officials to take some action along this
| line is general

LARGE PURSE FOR BAT
Philadelphia Promoter Of
fers Him $4,000 to
Fight Mcfarland.

Philadelphia. Sept. 16.-Harry D. Ed
wardsof the National A. C. today wired
Battling" Nelson, the lightweight
champion of the world an offer of
$4,000 for the title-holders end to
meet 'Packie" Mcfarland here during
Founders week, the first week of Oc-
tober.
Nelson is the best pugilistic card in
America, and Edwards, being shrewd
judge of the value of a fighter, once
game Nelson a $4,000 guarantee to
meet Terry" McGovern in this city in
a six-round bout. There were some
skeptics when it was announced, but
the Dane took s11,171 as his end Of
the percentage.
Then the Battler was not champion
and he had not fought the famous
forty two round bout with Joe Cans
at Goldfeld, New. Now the Dane has
twice beaten the title holder, and he
is the unquestioned lightweight cham
pion of the world.

HOLDER BILL WILL
 BE DISCUSSED

Atlanta. August 3O.-when the senate meets tomorrow it will have before it for first reading the Holder bill to terminate the convict lease system. which passed the house last Friday.
 The measure will have to be read on three separate days in the senate be- fore it can be taken up and put on it's passage.
 No convict bill has yet been passed by the upper body, although the extra ses- sion began work on last Tuesday. A compromise bill signed by 23 senators was introduced on Friday and will be read for the second time tomorrow Tn is provides for the termination of the sys- tenn of leasing convicts on April l, 1909. On the last day of March of next year the present contracts expire.
 The Holder bill provides that the con- victs may again be leased after April 1, next, but provides that all counties wishing them for road work may have first choice that counties desiring more than their pro rata share for road work shall next be accommodated, that muni- cipalities shall then be provided for and any convicts remaining shall be leased to private contractors until December 31, 1911. At that date the lease system shall end. The fund which will be ac cumulated in the meantime is to be ap- piled to the extension of the plan oG using all the felony and misdemeanor convicts of the state in improving the public highways, building and main taining bridges and other public works.
 There is a probability that lively fight may be projected over the sugges- tion to tax the manufacture and sale of near beer to provide revenue for the penitentiary system. If the senate passes the income tax amendment 1t will also meet with vigorous opposi- ton in the house.
 Unless some such debates are pre- cipitated there is probability that the extra session will adjourn the latter part of this week.
