SUSPECT A BETTING SCHEME.
Chicago City Officials May Look Into
False Report of Papke-ketcheI
Bout.

The city officials of Chicago may take
up the report that bettors on the Ket-
chel-Papke bout were swindled out of
large sums Thursday night through a
false report being sent over the wires
of "tickers" which are installed in sa-
looms and other public places through
out the city. the report stating that
Papke was the winner.
This flash" sent over the wires while
the men were only halfway through
= the ninth round is said to have resulted
j in some large sums being paid over to
those 'in the know" who Immediately
disappeared. Victims of the trick were
reticent yesterday, however, and at the
majority of the sporting headquarters
where bets are held 1t was said that
no payments had been made on the re-
port.
Some of the accounts. purporting to
tell the story of the bout by rounds on
such instruments. gave Papke all the
better of the go throughout, although
Ketchel maintained his lead from the
outset.
Assistant Corporational Council Selig-
man said he would investigate the law
governing ''tickers" to see If the city
has authority to present reports of prize
fights being sent out by the instru-
ments.

Yale varsity only a mile race with the
freshment at both the morning and

Kennedy shifted the two varsity
fours tonight, and the first quartet won

Stroke. Wallis, No. 8, Miller; No. 2 Cod
ley, and bow, Wodell. This is likely

The question of ownership of a two

The case has been on trial for sew

CROOKS
PINCHED At MILLER
Town Marshal Ed. Klopf
Terror to Yeggemen
and DRINKS.
PRISONER ROBS DRUNKEN MAN
Active Police Marshal Makes Six
Arrests In Two Days at
Millers Station.
Especial to TIMEs1

Toleston, Ind. June 6.-Town Marshal
Edward Klopf of Miller has been get
ting busy of late and yesterday ar
rested two crooks whom he believes
will be badly wanted in some of the
large cities of the country when de-
scriptions of them are sent out
Yesterday Chief of Police Martin of
Gary telephone that Harry Burns had
stolen some tools from Charles Wall
of Gary and that he was headed
towards Miller. Klopf picked him up
yesterday Afternoon and Chief of Police
Martin is expected in Gary this morn
ing to take the prisoner back to Gary.
Through the arrest of John Hines in
Buckinghams saloon in Miller Marshal
Klopf believed that he has at. last
caught one of gang of toughs who
have been picking pockets and engag
ing in petty thievery in Miller for sew
eral months past
KIopfs Smooth Arrest.
Hines was arrested while in the act
of going through the pockets of Ed
Harris of Miller, who was intoxicated
at the time. Klopf was dressed in CT
villains clothes at the time and the
crook did not know that there was
an officer in the salon at the time he
committed the theft.
Klopf saw Hines acting rather sus-
piciously around Harris and watched
HIM carefully. He soon saw him go
through Harris pockets and in an in
slant he was under arrest
| Hines was a surprised criminal and
he was hauled off to the police station
where he was later given preliminary
hearing before Judge Westergreen. He
was placed under $500 bonds and was
bound over to the superior court.
Both Were Old Men.
1t is q peculiar fact that both of the
men arrested by Klopf this morning
were old men. Hines was so years old
and Burns was 54. That such old men
should be still in the business and their
general appearance and manner leads
Klopf to believe that they may be
crooks with record.
In addition to the above arrests, Klopf
picked up four DRINKS yesterday and
these were all arraigned this morning
and given a dollar and costs amounting
to $1190.
There is a great deal of police &C
tivity in Miller since Edward Klopt
took up the work of giving the city
police protection and before the new
Lake Shore yards are built he proposed
to give the criminal element of the
Ireighborhod of wholesome regard for
the law and it's execution in Miller.

1T WAS A HARD TRIP.

The recent auto trip of Morris We'll
and Sam Soglovitz from Gary to East
Chicago was an experience which they
will not soon forget. They started
from Gary in machine and had half
a dozen accidents before they returned
and were day and half in cover
ing the few miles between the two
cities.
1t was necessary to take what is
known as the ridge road to get to
East Chicago and the two Gary men
lost the road. Their machine then
broke down and they were compelled
to spend the night in the machine.
The return to Gary was completed
at o'clock yesterday morning.

THE killing of the lad Averbuch
by Chief of Police Shippey of Chi
cago looks to me, after reading the
Chiefs own account, as being I'M
called for and unjustiied. The
boy was a refugee from one of the
massacres of Jews which disgrace
Christian Russia, and had been in
this country only three months.
He had made no offensive demon
stration when he was seized by
both arms by the Chief. OF course
the boy tri ed to free himself, and
in the struggle he was shot and
killed. The Chief says deceased
had a revolver and knife on his
person, but Averbuch's sister de-
clares that her brother never had a
pistol and did not know how to
use one. 1t appears that he called
upon Chief Shippy at the latter's
residence and handed him a letter.
At that instand he was seized by
both arms, as stated above, the
Chief calling for assistance, which
came speedily, when, tits claimed,
the deceased cut his captor's hand
seriously, and shot a police chat
feur through the hand, and the
Chiefs son through the lung. AS
The Public puts it: 'If the Chief of
Police did grasp this boy securely,
before the boy had any weaponsin
his hands, as the Chief says he did,
and the police Chauffeur was within
call, to say nothing of a handy tel
ephone, and the persons who might
have used it, exactly what were
the subsequent circumstances that
made it necessary for the Chief, a
man of powerful build and long
training and experience as a po-
liceman, to kill this comparatively
puny boy?" A coroner's jury is
is now inquiring into the facts.
