BACK TO AUSTRIA

South Chicago's population was de-
creased just 100 yesterday when that
number of Austrians and Servians were
sent back to their native countries by
local steamship agent. The reason
for the men going back to their native
countries is on account of the low rate
of s27.00 from New York to Finne of
Priests, Austria and any point in Italy.
The steamship agents Office at AZ
Ninetieth street, is being crowded by
the foreigners who are contemplating
a trip home, and 1t is estimated that
during the next two weeks that at
least 200 more men will take advantage
of the low rates to visit their families
in the old country.

FOR VICTORY.

cal contest and the field meet have
been arriving in the city all day and
the streets are filled with high school
students.
Even the older people in the city are
intensely interested in the meet and
"a large number of them are planning
to attend. remnants are to be seen
everywhere and it is expected that the
roofing on the sidelines this afternoon
will be a feature Of the contest.
Line on Result Hard to Get.
Early this afternoon it was positively
impossible to get line on the dope.
Nearly all of the athletes. who will
participate. excepting in Hammond and
Crown Point. are practically unknown
and while some of the schools claim
to have developed stars that fact will
only be brought out by the contest
| itself.
The local students are looking for a
surprise one way or the other. If they
win, 1t will be a pleasant surprise
and II some other school developes
| unusual strength 1t will be a surprise.
Captain VIII Evers of the local
team expects his men to roll up a total
of twenty-five points and If they come
up to his expectations, he thinks the
Hammond team will be returned the
| victor.
None of the teams entered is lament
| ably weak and none of them are overly
strong to the knowledge of the local
boys and so figuring the thing out on
that basis. the points are Likely 10 be
pretty well divided up.
The officials were ready fer their
duties at the appointed time and the
various events were pulled off with
dispatch.

fere with the plans of the Chicago,
Lake Shore & South Bend line, which
also proposes to build a line to Hege-

SURVEY IS COMPLETED

Crown Point, Ind. May 16.-(SpeciaI)
The engineers and surveyors work
ing on the proposed Crown Point-Gary
interurban have completed their sur
vey. going as far as the Calumet
bridge. Their work was to provide es-
Inmates for the construction of the
road and their report has already been
sent in to the officials.
1t is said that probably inside of q
month the active work of constructing
the line may be in progress. Now
would certainly be an opportune time
to build the road for there are thou
sands of idle men in the country who
would be willing to work for nearly
half of what was ordinarily paid a
this time last year

POSER FOR EXCISE BOARD
River Boat Application for Liquor
License Proves Puzzle.
Question of JurisdictiOn over the
Potomac Il Referred TO the
Corporation Counsel.

Whether or not the steamboat COM
panies have the right to sell liquors on
their boats on excursions down the Po-
District by Corporation Counsel E. II.
Thomas
The cause for the test Is the recent ap-
plication OF the Independent Steamboat
and Barge Company for a license for
such sale on the steamer River Queen.
which runs 70 River View and other
points down the river
As no similar application has been re-
celved before, the members OF the excise
board were at loss as to what TO do in
the matter. and so decided TO refer It 20
the counsel for an opinion.
For many years It has been possible 70
obtain plenty OF liquid refreshments on
the river steamers going out Of the city.
and there has been no complaint from
the District authorities. Recently. how
ever. Lieut.. Sutton. OF the harbor police,
received orders to file charges against
the several alleged v!olators Of the liquor
law
Representatives OF two or the COM
panies promised TO abandon the business.
al least within the limits Of the District.
and thereupon the charges against them
were withdrawn. One OF the other cases
is scheduled 10 come up this month.
As It stands at present. the local ex-
else law contains no provision for so
called floating bars, or bars IN any other
locations than permanent ones. 1t IS sug-
gested that the steamboat companies
may arrange not TO sell their liquid
wares until after the boats have passed
the District line near Alexandria pro-
vided that the corporation counsel can
find no way in which they may be
granted licenses.
The case. which is soon 10 come I'D.
viii be watched with a great deal OF
interest by officials and thirsty travel
ers, and viii in all probability be brought
10 the limit in order 10 obtain final de-
cision on the matter

Early Morning Salute on News of

Milkmen. bakers. and other early risers
We're startled in their morning rounds
yesterday by what sounded Ike the open
ing greeting OF hostile. attacking army.
when AT $50 o'clock. the noise OF a heavy
caunonading came from the direction of
the Monument lot.
But It was only the enthusiastic Demo
Gratis firing a salute IN honor OF the
nomination OF Mr. Bryan.
1t was the original plan 20 fire this sa-
lutte on Thursday night. Immediately after
the news had reached the city and to
that end the unusual privilege was sought
for and obtained from oyster Bay.
A scheme Of communication was formed
by which the news was 10 be flashed TO

a prearranged manner. and If 1t came by
night. a red lantern was 20 be subsu-
tuted.
Hours OF vain watching all day Thurs
day and up 20 l o'clock yesterday m&rn-
ing was all the reward Of the patient
watcher. Fear of startling the city after
that time sent home the faithful band
which had gathered. disappointed but
with the assurance that the racket would
be forthcoming later I'm the morning.
G. II. Odeu a special representative Of
the fireworks company, sent down from
New York TO direct the salute was up
bright and early. Just at $50 O'Clock he
was rewarded after the many hours of
vigil by seeing the wildly waving flag

Instantly he touched or the first NOR

forty-hve others. making a national sa-
lutte IN honor of the Democratic nominee.
