SPORTING EXTRA
MAKES BIG HIT
Lake County Times Tells
Calumet Region of Mel
SON. Cans Prize Fight.
BOYS FIGHT To SELL PAPERS
Advertisers in Times Get Advantage
of Hundreds of Extra Circu-
lation Last Night.

The circulation of THE TIMES sport
Ing extra alone last night was larger
than that any daily paper In the Cal
umet region.
Never in the history of THE TIMES
has there been such demand for the
sporting extras as there was last night.
The last of the five editions of this pa
per was delayed in order to get the
Can eIson fight.
When it finally came from the press
Iat seven o'clock there was a gang of
boys at the four corners who were ex-
citedly waiting for the issue. Richard
Taussig. who has charge of the street
sales was mobbed by the newsies.
Nearly Started a Riot.
He tried to count out the papers but
the boys crowded and pushed until it
was practically impossible for him to
do anything. Finally several BOYS
vantage and the whole pack of them
came very near starting a riot
Finally an officer was compelled to
rush in and separate the boys in order
that Taussig would not be injured and
the distribution of the papers might be
made.
" hSh Iue boys InaiIy got out on the
street and the sports found that THE
TIMES had the fight by rounds and had
a flash of the final result there was a
greater demand than ever
When the presses first started they
ran off 1000 papers. This number was
sold in Hammond so>quickly that the
word was sent back that more papers
would be necessary.
Presses Set In Motion Again.
The presses were SET to going again
and armfull after armfun of papers
were sent down to the four corners
One newsie would crowd in front of
another and then some one would get
him by the hair and pull him out of the
crowd and that generally started a
fight. While one crowd was fighting
the other would be crowding up to the
news stand getting the papers.
Hundreds of papers were sent to all
of the other cities of the Calumet re-
gion and they were as much in de-
mand there as they were here. The
Lake County Times. The South Chicago
Times and the The Gary Evening Times
were the medium through which the
people of the entire Calumet region
We're furnished with the news of the
Gans-Nelson fight and the Times ad-
vertisers benefited by an additional
1900 circulation.

When Hasten. the man who was not
only criminal but who had violated the
trust his friends had placed in him.
was called before the judge and was
given his sentence, the scene was a
pathetic one.
There was very little sympathy for
Hasten himself. but the hearts of
every one present went out to the fam
lily he had disgraced. When the Judge
pronounced sentence on the prisoner
the faces of his wife and children. who
were in the courtroom, were ashen.
An Affecting Meeting.
After Hasten had been Informed that
his punishment for the crime of en-
bezzlement and for violating his bond
would be imprisonment in the pent-
tentiary for from two to fourteen
years, he called his wife and children
over to him and bid them an affection

the children were impressed with the
horror of something that they did not
fully comprehend.

henceforth regard as a defaulter and

OIL INVESTMENTS
HAVE BEEN LUCKY
Residence Contract Will Not Be Let
Until Next Spring, But Mr.. Schaaf
Expects to Have Derived Rich Pro-
ceeds from His Illinois Oil Field
Investment.

So lucrative has been the investmen
which he made in Illinois oil fields sew.
eraI years ago, that f. Richard Schaaf
the republican county chairman, will
contribute to making Hammond city
beautiful by the construction of res:.
denee in HomewoOd which is TO cos
$4,000.
Mr.. Schaafs new home will be buili
next spring on the northwest corner OF
Elizabeth and Holman streets and will
be an addition to the magnificent resi-
dences which are being built in this
neighborhood
Lives Now in RobertsdaIe.
Mr.. Schaafs present place of resi-
dence is at Robertsdale, where he has
lived for number of years, but his in
terests in Hammond have become SO
great that it is necessary for him to
live near the business section of the
city.
Mr.. Schaaf has been planning a resi-
dence in the beautiful south side SUI

Gently that he has felt that he could
afford to build the home which he has
long wanted to construct.

summer. at his summer home near La
Porte and is now anxious to have his

will be rushed to completion. Mr..
Schaaf takes the stand that it is the
civit duty of citizen to make his
hoem town more beautiful by the erec-
ton of an attractive residence of he
can afford to do So
The people of Homewood will well
come Mr.. and Mrs. Schaaf as neigh
bors and the sixth precinct will be glad

BOW vows MAY REJOICE
Mayor Becker's Muzzling
Manifesto Expires
Today.

Have you noticed the smiles on the
faces of the dogs about town In an
other day the manifesto of Mayor
Becker will be withdrawn and they
will be able to walk down the streets
with some self-respect instead of be-
ing hunted by policemen from dawn
until dark
When at last the puppies of the city
are able to go on their way unmolested
they will find that many of their old
friends have disappeared. In all $50
dogs have been killed during the brief
months of summer. 1t was an awful
slaughter.
Survival of the Fittest.
But there is one consoling thing
about it all. 1t has been a case of the
survival of the fittest. A dog which
was worth anything was usually muz-
zled by his master and the poor half
breed, the yellow cur, the homeless
hectors have all gone to the happy
hunting ground.
But if the date for unmuzzling dogs
has been set for the tenth of this month
the officers are planning to be Just as
vigilant for the next two days as
though the canine killing season had
just begun.
In fact they killed a dog yesterday
while If he had been muzzled for two
days longer he would not have fallen
under the ban. The police are glad
that the season has closed
1t has not been any fun for them 10
go about town making enemies for the
department and bringing down on their
shoulders the opprobiums of wbo1a
neighborhoods because some pet dog
had to be killed.
They are glad it is all ended and
from now on they will reserve their
shots for wild men and burglars.

Didn't Ask For.

1t is hard to believe. but it is never
the-less fact that the street car
company is going to give the city of
Hammond for which they did not ask.
Manager Green is. of course. very
proud of the generosity of his com
pany, and Hammond is quite well
tickled about it. but it all came about
because Mr. Green did want to lend a
helping hand in beautifying Harrison
Park Consequently he hos ordered
iron poles to be placed along the park
frontage.
The poles will be put in as soon as
possible so as not to interfere with the

He secured an automobile and while
the mob of people stood in front of the

THE BOON OF PUBLICITY.

The American people have more to
be grateful for than they wot OF, in
these days of extraordinary and de-
tailed publicity. A free press is one
of the great boons they possess; and
yet. they are largely unconscious oi
its value, by reason OF its great vol
umne and constant presentation. The
newspaper in this country is so uni
versal, so cheap, so prolific of news,
so charged with information OF every
conceivable kind, so inseparably
woven into the daily life OF the
people, that it is underestimate y
the main, and lacks the deep appre'
eiation to which it is entitled, whict
is never granted until the reader get
where lie has no paper at hand. Ther
it is missed with vengeance ant
becomes a crying necessity.
By their papers the people verify
all the current rumors, adjust thu
doubts OF the hour, and formulate
their opinions on matters OF public
import; they turn to it naturally ant
instantly for the cues that guide then
in business, politics, sports, ant
finance, and then cast it aside withou
thought of the service it has render
ed; it is cheap, they have paid for it
it ha; contributed what they wanted
and that is all there is to it for th'
moment; but if it had cost them 81
cents per copy instead Of | cent, or 2
or nickle, the indifference nigh
change to that larger estimate tina
goes with things that cost and th'
inevitable and indispensable newspa
per come into its own.

haustei its curriculum over and over
again, and is hard pressed to hnd new

must, OF necessity, seek knowledge

happiness lies in the acquisition OF

there long ago), and like the miser
he is using every adroit and feasible

his store. His is rare case, almost
unparalleled in this country, and so
unique as to invite the universal hope
thar he will never be disturbed, nor
ousted from his Alma Mater.
