BASE BALL FEVER
HITS THE HARBOR
Boosters to Be Asked For
Help in Getting Ball
Park.
BANKER WILL GIVE 500
Indiana Harbor Can Get Up q
Dandy Team If ANY Effort Is
Made at All.

Indiana Harbor, May 19.-(SpeciaD-
The baseball fever has become more
virulent in Indiana Harbor than typhoid
fever ever began to be, and the next
step is ball park.
They had a good game here Sunday
and since then the national sport is the
prevailing topic of conversation.
There has always been, however, one
drawback, and that an important one.
The city has never boosted really for
TRULY ball park. One with seats and
a place to buy popcorn and peanuts.
This, it is now proposed. will be taken
up seriously and funds raised to supply
the omission.
Boosters to Help.
The Boosters, who since their organi-
zation have come to be known as the
boys who do things" are to be asked
tonight to take the matter up and use
their good offices with the city fathers.
Just how much the council could or
would do is problematical. but topping
political fences, however, could GER
tainly secure some very substantial
props by a disposition to assist the
boys in this matter.
sWiII Give One Hundred.
One prominent young banker is said
to have made the statement that he
would contribute a hundred dollars
towards the proposition. Others are
expected to fall into line. AS an ex-
ample of the enthusiasm a grandfather
was heard to call an old friend back
block to introduce him to young Gal
vim, the catcher.
Those who are promoting the enter
prise say that the Boosters have al
ways used their influence in behalf OF
any project of civic Importance and
feel it is up to them to help in this
matter.

WALKING MATCH AGAIN
Contestants Will Leave Ma
jestic Hotel in Ham
mond Sunday.

Indiana Harbor, Ind, May 13.-(Spe-
cial.) -Edward Payson Weston will
have to look to his laurels. John KAN
radt and James Kroupa walked from
Indiana Harbor to Gary in record time
ten days ago and lived to tell the tale
and be wined and dined by their en-
thusiastic friends. Now comes Louis
Sterling, the cigar manufacturer, and
Max Salmon, proprietor of the Blue
Ribbon buffet, who are fired by an am
b1tion to show their walking prowess
and demonstrate to their friends that
they, too, are capable of doing things
in the pedestrial line. medically they
are betting twenty five dollars on the
result
Mr. Salmon it seems challenged Mr.
Sterling to a walking match. Mr..
Sterling in order to maintain his repu-
tation as a sport which he acquired by
refereeing recent badger fight,
promptly accepted.
The contestants will start from the
Majestic hotel in Hammond at $50
Sunday morning and confidently expect
to reach their goal Block avenue and
Waiting street, in time for business
Monday morning.
Some skeptics doubt this latter. The
men are already training for the event.
Either of them may be seen at almost
any old time going over the route by
street cars. Patrons Of the road be-
tween Indiana Harbor and Hammond
who have observed these gentlemen
pacing up and down the aisle of the
cars will now understand that they
are merely doing the distance"
The officials for the avep+ hove -
yet been chosen, but negotiations for
the positions are on with several well
known local sports.

AUTO|STS ARE WARNED

Crown Point, Ind, May 13.-(SpeciaI)
1t is stated that the authorities of
the county look with disfavor upon the
project of the Chicago Automobile club
to hold races upon Lake county thor
oughfares, unless run early in the
morning so as not to interfere with
traffic.
Auditor Charles Johnson, secretary
of the board of county commissioners,
has written the club to that effect. This
action may put an end to the proposed
twenty -four hour race that was to be
given, with the Lake and Porter county
roads as the course mapped, out during
the summer. The greatd anger to life
and limb, attendant upon races of this
kind, to the public at large is said to
be the cause of the authorities taking
the present action.

Guinness beyond a boubt.
One other ring belonging to Mrs.
Guinness had been found in the ruins
by Sheriff Smitzer on May 4. It was
a loop of plain gold. This made four
rings belonging to the proprietress of
the murder farm" recovered
Rings Are Identified.
The rings were identified at noon as
and Mrs. c. Christofferson, 7O2 D. street,
Laporte. This old couple had been
Mrs. Guinness most intimate friends.
Evidence which the authorities be-
lieve will go far towards clarifying the
mystery of the murders at the Guinness
farm accumulated today with accel-
Grated rapidity. 1t is now believed the
authorities are ready to spring their
final trap. This may be any of three
things-the arrest of an accomplice of
Mrs. Guinness in the murders, the pro-
duction of a witness who will tell
further tales of horror, evidence which
will drive Ray Lamphere to open con-
fession.
1t is known that in another Indiana
city, clew, believed to be of much i'm
lpcrtance, is being run down Whether
the quest falls or succeeds is a question
that cannot be answered before to-
morrow night or perhaps the next day
The nature of the clew is such, it is
said. that, should it prove valid, the

possible completely in the murder of
Andrew K. Helgelein, will take an UNI
expected turn.
Pastor Expects Confession.
The belief that Lamphere will make
a confession was strengthened today
when the Rev. E. A Schell, pastor of
the First Methodist Episcopal church of
Laporte, wired from Baltimore to a
Laporte newspaper to the effect that he
believes that Lamphere will make a
confession. The nature of Lamphere's
admissions so far was made public in
q Chicago newspaper yesterday, but
their publication was not due to the
minister. The minister's message fol-
lows:
Baltimore, Md. May 12.-Lamphere's
statements as made on different days
were conflicting and merely preparatory
to a full confession when / returned
ir June. What he said in inviolately
sacred, as the secrets of the confess
sional should be. No confidence he gave
will be disclosed unless he shall first
open his heart to the prosecuting at
torney, as I advised him to do. If, on
the advice of Attorney Worden, he re-
fuses a full confession 1 shall be sur
prised. E. A. SCHELL''

Lisbon. While outwardly every.
thing seems calm and peaceful, yet
there is a steady increase of nervous.
ness and excitement among all classes
of the population, owing to the con-
stant rumors of plot and counterplot
and the persistent activity of the po-
lice, who daily and nightly examine
the houses of suspects and make ar
rests. On the night of January 2S
there was a bloody fight in a small
restaurant on the outskirts of Lisbon.
Suspecting the presence of crowd
of conspirators, the police surrounded
and raided the restaurant. The au.
thorities were right in the surmise,
and they found the plotters armed
with revolvers.
The policemen were met by vol
ley of bullets, and one of them was
killed and four wounded. The con-
spirators managed to keep the guar
dans of law and order at bay until
they made their escape. Later the
same night score of suspected agi-
tators were arrested and imprisoned
in one of the fortresses.
