ASSAULT WITNESSED
BY MANY PEOPLE
Hobart Marshal Shows Cleverness
and Courage In Gathering In In
pudent Law Breakers, Said To Be
Persons of Some Consequence in
Public Life.

Hobart. ind, July 17.-After giving
Marshal Buse of Porter the merry ia
ia and nearly running over him when
he attempted to stop them for speed
ing, number of automooilists In two
machines raced on to Hobart. where
they were intercepted by Marshal Fred
Rose.
Lake county town marshals looked
easy to them. and so they attempted
their little "steal-away'' game on Mr..
Rose. Their astonis hment was uncon-
cealed when Marshal Rose jumped on
the running gear of one of the ma
chimes and ordered them to stop.
They had not reached the limit of
their lawlessness, however. for the
chauffeur struck Rose a vicious blow in
the face. Rose retaliated and soon had
placed the drivers of both machines un-
der arrest.
The assault was witnessed by a large
number of people in Hobart. and pub
Tic mitigation against the men mani
tested itself in no uncertain manner.
The outcome Of the affair was that
the chauffeurs on both machines were
arrested and taken before Judge John
Matthews of the Hobart justice court
| The man who assaulted Marshal Rose
was placed under $500 bonds on the
charge OF resisting an officer The
drivers were then fined for speeding in
Hobart as a second offense. and to top
the whole thing off they were held un-
til they could be taken back to Porter,
where they were assessed another fine
for speeding.
That is about the biggest dose that
the law-breaking chauffeur has ever
had in Lake county. and it is expected
/ that 1t will have a salutory effect on
other ambitious speed maniacs.
The whole affair started in Porter.
( where Marshal Buse attempted to stop
the two machines for speeding In
/ stead of stopping the drivers swerved
/ their machines dangerously near the
marshal and came very near running
/ over him. The machines bore the num-
bers 1855 Ill. and 23763 n. Y.
They laughed at his discontinue
when he jumped to the side of the
road, and waved goodby to him as they
1 disappeared down the road. Marshal
Buse was not satisfied TO let them es-
cape that easily and teIephoned Mar
shall Rose to arrest the drivers Of the
machines when they passed through
that town.
| Marshal Rose was on the job and
J w men ne DtdIu luc occupants OF one OF
the cars laughing over their escaps
from the marshal at Porter, he knew
he had the right persons.
He ordered them 10 stop and it was
then that he jumped on the running
board Of the machine to prevent the es-
cape and was brutally assaulted BY the
! chauffeur.
It is understood that one OF the ma
chimes was from Chicago and the other
from New York Marshal Rose en-
ployed Attorney Peddicord 70 prose-
cute the case, and John Doe, the chauf-
feur, employed Attorney Bozarth to de-
fend him The hearing Of the case viii
be held July q.

Crown Point, Ind, July 1.-THE drys

voluntary acts of their own at that,
minus the remonstrance and kick OF the
Matthews and Bruce, the victory came
in an unusual and unheard of way, but
just as effective in demolishing and de-

WILL REVERSE SYSTEM
East and Westbound Trains
on Lake Shore Change
Tracks.
Especial to THE TIMEsO

Whiting. Ind. July II. The
work of changing the system of
running on the Lake Shore railroad has
been a long and tedious one, but has
been a last completed The trains
have been running on this road left
handed for all these years.
This has been a great Inconvenience,
so the authorities decided to alter it.
The new way Of running goes into ef-
feet tomorrow at II o'clock. At this
hour every train on the Lake Shore
road, between Chicago and Elkhart
must stop for five minutes. They must
then go back to the first switch and
get on the other track. after which
they will proceed on their way The
alterations Will make it rather difficult
for the townermen. but it viii take
them only q few days to become accus-
toned to It. and then things will go
on very smoothly again.

AUTO RACE:
HAS SFLASHED
IN THE PAN
G. H. Stewart Claims That
His Original Proposition
Regarding Conditions Of
Bet With Irving Betz Are
Not Fulfilled.

Charles ". Stewart still maintains
that he is willing to race his Winton
against Irving Betz' Stoddard-Dayton
providing Betz comes to his original
proposition regarding the conditions of
the $100 bet
What those conditions are have never
been made known by Mr.. Stewart to
the general public, although he main
tains that Mr.. Betz is well aware Of
their terms.
Stewart was called up on the tele-
phone yesterday and stated to TINES
reporter that he is getting tired of the
whole affair, and If something is not
done to either bring about the race or
call it off he will make a statement
through THE TIMES Of his position in
the matter.
It appears from statements that have
been made by both parties to the con-
troversy that they never come to a
clear understandin about the matter
Has Gone the Limit.
Irving Betz says that he has gone as
far as he could with the negotiations.
and Stewart says all Betz needs to do is
to comply with the terms of his orig
inal proposition. Apparently both of
the car owners would like to race. and
yet they seem to have the most remark
able difficulty in getting together.
THE TIMES has been neutral in this
affair, and is now willing to act as a
go-between providing the principals to
this controversy are willing to accept
its good offices.
If Messrs. Stewart and Betz will sub
NIT in writing the terms of the agree
ment to race as they understand it and
will then agree to a conference. at
which all differences may be adjusted
the patient and long expectant public
may yet be able to witness this great
race.

Lighting Scheme MAY Fail.

Owing to the Tact that there is a
misunderstanding between the State
street business men and the Northern
Indiana Gas and Electric company over
the manner of erecting the arches
which are to carry the incandescent
lights which are to light the street.
the plans for the installation of the
new system may fail
The business men have agreed to pay
the required amount for eleven arches,
but 1t is understood that the North
ern Indiana Gas and Electric company
wants to erect the arches from the tops
of poles which are already in use. As
this would not make the arches an
equal distance apart. the business men
refused to stand for 1t.

FR|CKES
RECOVER At
HOSPITAL

Encouraging news comes from St.
Margaret's hospital about the condition
of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Fricke of South
Holman street who were both injured
yesterday in the shooting which oc-
Cured at their home While they both
rested comparatively well last night
and have shown some Improvement,
they cannot be said to be out of dan
ger. The wounds which each sustained
are not serious in themselves, but there
is danger of tetanus, owing to the fact
that the power from the bullets pene-
trated the flesh. There is. however, no
cause for alarm on the part of friends.
Nobody has been admitted to the pa
tients, excepting the nearest relatives.

FIREMEN
ARE CALLED
OUT IN GARY

Two fires last night called out the
department in Gary for runs in the
south end, and little damage was done
in either case. In the second fire
which occurred at 2;45. the high pres
sure which was on at that time proved
of valuable assistance to the men in
extinguishing the flames, and they had
little difficulty in checking what might
have proved = serious fire.
The first call occurred at 4:45 yester-
day afternoon, in residence at Nine
teenth and Massachusetts street, owned
by John Patrick. The fire was caused
by a defective flue. but did not get
much OF start before the department
arrived. They had little trouble in put
ting out the fire with a loss estimated
at s25.
The second fire was more serious.
This occurred in a building at Madison
street between Thirteenth and Four
teenth streets, owned by Zero Mehes.
The fire In this building was started in
the rear of the basement and had gain
ed considerable headway before it was
discovered. The high pressure was
used effectively. however, and as soon
as the department arrived they began
to get it under control The loss will
amount TO about $40O. and both build
ings were covered by insurance

Course Yesterday Brings
It to Hammond for Re

Jack Johnson, colored heavyweight
champion fighter OF the world, was in
Hammond this morning to secure re-

Chalmers-Dayton car, which he ruined
last Thursday night in a race with eBck
Moriarity on the east leg of the Cobe
course. He left his car in Hammond
and went to Chicago with the intention
of returning later in the evening when
he expects the car to be repaired.
There was talk this morning of Jack
coming to Hammond and establishing
himself in the Hammond Athletic club
for his training quarters Jack says he
would like to make such an arrange
ment very much. as it would put it
much closer to Chicago. but 1t is doubt
full whether the club, body, will en-
courage the move. There are a lot of
Hammond sports who would like to see
Johnson in Hammond. but it is not the
policy of the Hammond Athletic club to

The club was forced to bar Jimmy
Clabby, Hammond's own boy, as well

as a body feels that it cannot discrim-

would like to see it.
Should Jack, however. establish him

would undoubtedly find a hearty well

all CITIES unite
FOR LABOR DAY
Gary, Hammond, East Chicago,
Whiting s Indiana Harbor to
Have Mammoth Celebration

For the first time since 1907 the
Trades and Labor Council and the
Building Trades council are working in
harmony TO make Labor Day the great
est holiday of the year. All Of the
friction of last year. when there was
a celebration at Hammond and another
at Gary is forgotten and having set
tied upon East Chicago as the place
for holding the celebration; union la
Dor in Like county. from one end to
the other is working unitedly for the
success of Labor day. Representatives
from all the Calumet region cities
were present.
East Chicago was selected for the
reason that Lake county Labor Day
celebration has not been held there for
a number Of years. Hammond and Gary
have had the celebration in recent
years, but although East Chicago is
one Of the union labor centers Of the
region 1t has not been recently given
this han~r.
Pick East Chicago.
So it was not hard for the represen-
tatives of the various unions in the
county to decide upon East Chicago
and to agree to unite on plans that
will insure the success of the day. The
business men of East Chicago are en-
thusiastic at the prospect of having
union labor in Lake county for its
guest and will do all they can to make
the affair a success.
So anxious were the union men OF
the region to get together that the
Building Trades council appointed q
committee to confer with that of the
Gary sent over a delegation to assure
the union men here that they will aid
any project for a big Labor Day cele-
bratfOn

The East Chicago people are plan
ming to have the celebration at Saw
mill park This is a large shady
grove in close proximity to the street
car lines and will be an ideal place for
holding the picnic. East Chicago is
situated in the heart of the Lake
county Industrial district and it will
be very accessible to the cities OF
Hammond, Whiting, Indiana Harbor
and Gary. Consequently it is expected
that the coming Labor Day celebration
will attract the largest crowds that
have ever attended such a celebration
in recent years.
Committees Selected.
At the meeting it was voted to ex-
tend invitations to all of the locals in
the county and all of the civic organi-
cations in the various cities of the
