COURT CONFINES
 AT GREENVILLE
FARMS ARE BADLY DAMAGED AND FRUIT IS TOTAL LOSS IN MANY SECTIONS FROM REGENT SEE WERE STORMS.

Greenville, April 27.-(speeial.)- )-The at l o'clock this afternoon. Owing to high water the grand jury had to be filled with six talesmen. Judge Richard son delivered a lengthy and very com- prehensive charge to the jury. He relter- ated to the jury the same views in regard to the prohibition law that he gave them in the other counties of the district, to- wit: That it is violation of the law to ship liquor from any place into prohi- bition districts.
 On Saturday afternoon, Stephen F. An dress one of the oldest citizens of the county, while on a visit to his son, feil dead. The deceased had been a resident of the county nearly all his life. He was S4 years of age He leaves an aged widow and four sons.
 During the storm Friday night the upper portion of this county, between here and Fort Deposit, where the cyclone did so much damage, the crops for nearly five miles were literally torn up by the hail. stones. Many farmers will have to plant over again. They say the fruit is also ruined; field after field, the cotton where it had been chopped show scarcely any sign as to what was the nature of the crop planted.
 Several very heavy rains fell here yes terday afternoon and during last night, adding more damage to the already washed land. There is no way to esti- mate the damage of recent winds and heavy rains in the northern part of the county.
 MT. Henry Dean, who lives at Kirkvilie, together with his family. consisting of his wife and six children, were miraculously

MERCER EASY FOR AUBURN
 GEORGIANS DROP THE THIRD

Columbus, Ga, April 2L-(Speeial)- Auburn took the last of a series of three games here today by. the decisive score of 10 to 0.
 By winning the game the Alabama team copped the entire series, having won two games at Macon.
 The fact that Ogleby was knocked out of the box in the seventh inning, when fcur runners crossed the plate. explains the size of the score, but the general re- suit shows that the Mercer team is out elassed bx a team composed of better players Mosely was substituted for Ogleby in the eighth but too late and without much good results for two more runners reached home, making the score 10 to 0.
 The attendance considering the disad- vantages. was remarkable. The diamond is a mile from the city and no street cars were running, because of the power houses on the Chattahooche river being flooded.

THE BIG STICK IS
 LOSING ITS TERROR
THREAT THAT PRESIDENT WILL VETO PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND
 OTHER BILLS DOES NOT WORRY
 CONGRESSMEN AND SENATORS.

Washington, April 27.-(Special )-Re- ports to the effect that the President will veto the public buildings and other bills carrying pork for the Senate and House members, do not seem to affect congress- men. In fact they are growing much more assertive than was noticeable in the early days of the session.
 For instance. Chairman Bartholdt of the public buildings committee says the bill drawn by his committee will become law with or without the Presidents sig Dature," carrying as it does appropria- tions for over two-thirds of the members of the House and Senate. MT. Bartholdt is probably right.

TIE ENSLEY PEOPLE
 WANT PUBLIC PARK
Petition Will Be Presented to
 the City Council
MEADE ISSUES A CALL
Mass Meeting Will Be Held for Bene- fit of Storm Sufferers-Merchan disc Trumphs Over Money
 in Steel City.

Ensley, April 7.-(Speeial)-A petition is being circulated among the people of Ensiey requesting the City Council to ap- proprate a sum sufficient for the pur- chasing of property close in to be used as a public park and. playground Several copies of the petition are being handed a round and are being freely signed.
 Ensley is probably the only city of it's size in the country thath as no public park or place where the children can gather and play. All of the property has been taken by the land companies or other concern and persons and the city has none which it could use as a park. The matter was taken up at one time and the property for a park secured but after making the deal the Council decided that the expense was too fs,eat and turned the property back to the persons from whom they had purchased it.
 A park is an absolute necessity in Ensley. The town has grown fast and is thicldy settled and it is conceded that public parks are a necessity in all large cities London has thes mallest death rateo any large city in the world, ami it is due principally to it's many small parks. An in our own large cities the value of these breathing places has been demonstrated time and time again. It is hoped the Council will take favorable ac- tion on this laudable undertaking.
 Meade Issues Call.
 A call for a mass meeting for the bene fit of the sufferers of the storm last Friday at Albertville and other places has been issued by President H. s. Meade of the Ensley Commercial club for Il o'clock this morning in the club rooms. Every one is urged to attend, as the Albertville sufferers are in need of

Bankers Vs. Merchants.

Shades of Moses! Merchandise tri- umphed over money. Back to the old days barter and away with the cash. By the overwhelming majority Of 16 to F the Merchants baseball team of Ensley proved the superiority of stock of goods over filthy lucre. and the mem- bers of the Bankers team slipped through the side streets. back to home and mother, under the bed and lay there with their faces to the wall.
 If Capt Bob" Chadwick of the Bank CTS team had acted as the captain should and appeared on the field a different story might be told. But the grand old cap- tain failed to show up and as conse- ouence his brave cohorts never quite got together, but foundered about hopelessly amidst rain of home runs.
 Up to the beginning of the eighth in ming the Bankers had the Merchants bent upon their knees by the score of F to |. But then-it sounded like the blasting in a slag pit-the furies broke about the poor Bankers. Three runs in the eighth topped off with six more in the ninth tells a story that made even the sun shed tears of pity.

SKINNING THE WOLF
BEFORE HE'S CAUGHT
Knots and Martin Out For
a Pelt of a CAMS
Credentials.

Thursday Thomas E. Knots. mayor
of Gary. in escorting John w. Kern
from Hammond to South Chicago told
him of the presence of wolves in or
about Gary. which was repeated by
Mr. Kern and commented upon in his
address from the boat as it arrived in
Gary Few of the Chicago persons
believed that 1t could be true. and yet
the very newt afternoon. Mayor Knots
and Chief Of Police Martin spent the
morning hunting down with shot guns
the wolf which had lacerated a man
named Mike Scerozinski who was
stroning along the street on South
Broadway.
L would give fifty out OF my pocket
if we could kill that wolf right now"
said Mayor Knots. so would l." said
Chief Martin. both thinking of the wolf
story that had been sprung on Chi
cago citizens the day before. 1--WE
have got to make good on that now
that we have the chance" they said in
unison as they climbed into Mr.
Inott's rig and dashed down the street.
the various guns br1stling like an ar
senal. In the rear seat was the man
who had been attacked by the animal
directing them to the spot where it
had occurred The police were par
ticularly anxious to land the brute
as there are many persons living in
shacks far from the heart OF the city
where they are constantly imperiled by
beasts of this character.
Several people. have noticed the pc
culiar looking animal in the vicinity
of Broadway and the Calumet river but
IT has never been known to attack any
one before. Scerozinski says that he
surprised the brute while walking
along the river. and that he believes
that it had a litter Of young one,
which IT was protecting. A party may
be organized in Gary In the near future
TO scour the woods in search OF The
brute. If he is killed the skin will bt
placed in the postofhce where it will
be allowed to repose for years in mem
ory of the early days where Ton
knots made good on the wolf story.

BLUE ISLAND IS At
PENNSYL vAN|AS MERCY
Makes an Improvement But
Ignores the Rights of
the Residents.

special meeting of the Stony Is
land Improvement association was
held Wednesday evening at the clubs
headquarters to protest against the
action of the Pennsylvania railroad
company, which, at the present time,
is elevating its tracks at Seventy
ninth street and Stony Island avenue.
In order to carry on this much
needed Improvement the company
found it necessary to remove all the
sidewalks in the vicinity of the work
and as the work has been going on for
some time the residents have been left
without sidewalks or anything resemb
ling them. As it is necessary for most
of the citizens to cross the Pennsyl-
vania and Lake Shore tracks at this
point. they are strenuously Directing
to this state Of affairs. In order to
cross the companys tracks it is ne
| cessary to climb an embankment sew
eral feet high. which jeopardizes the
lives of men. women and children.
The citizens also assert that tho
| neighborhood is being used as a dump
| ing ground for the company and in
stead of placing sand or gravel as
! a filing, have used garbage. To the
/ further discontinue of the neighbor-
/ hood no street lights appear. and dur
/ ing the night it becomes necessary to
/ travel the streets and cross railroad
/ tracks without any resemblance of
/ illumination.
Another thing that they have to con-
/ tend with is, that in order to reach
their homes without crossing the tracks
they are compelled to followed the line
Of the street car tracks under the via
dangerous. as on either side of the
| tracks there is not sufficient space tC
allow two people to pass.
w H Reeves, a real estate dealer
Seventy ninth street and Stony island
| avenue, who is president of the asso
citation, stated to a TINES reporter yes
terday that the conditions through the
neighborhood were becoming intoler
able.
Another Meeting Wednesday.
Another meeting has been called fo
next Wednesday evening. at which TIM
the matter will be more thorough!
discussed and the members will TT!
and find some way to better the poo
condition of their streets
William Suvoroff. a South Chicag
business man, who lives with his fam
lily at $3.50 Cornell avenue, is a direc
tor. and he declared today that at til
next regular meeting, Wednesda,
evening. a long list of complaint
would be looked over and severa
other matters of Importance attende
to.

in the Philippines and when he ran
across him again a the wellington
hotel. where he living in style.
Lord told him that he had fallen heir
TO half a million dollars.
He added" said Pennington. that
he was a director and stockholder in
the Internal Combustion company of
Gary, Ind. He insisted upon selling
me some stock and I finally gave him
81 .0O0-all I had saved UP in the twelve
years of my service Upon inquiring
into the matter later I learned that
there was no such concern as the In
tcrnal Combustion company in Gary;
that Lord did not have a million dol
lars that he had been sailing under
false colors here by representing him
self as a surgeon in the United States
Navy, and that I had allowed myself to
become the dupe of a plain hospital
steward"
Lord Was Once Lawyer.
The taught of having been outwitted
by a hospital steward seemed to hurt
Pennington more than the loss of his
money.
Lord was in court with hfs attorney

the stand. He is twenty eight years
old and lives at SAB Ellis avenue. Once
