All Expect To BE On Hand.
The morning session of the conven-
ton will be taken up with the routine
business. After this is finished and
the delegates have had their lunch

for Gary. Most of the delegates will
probably take advantage of the OPP
portunity to see the greatest city OF
its size in the world. Information to
this effect has been given out by the
committee Of the Clearing House OF
Chicago which has the reception of the
delegates in charge.
This year there is expected to be a

INFORMATION WANTED
ABOUT p. O. BOX RENTALS

Washington. Dec. 21.-Concerted ac-
tion by number of senators in intro
ducing resolutions calling for informa-
tlon relative to amounts derived from
the rentals of postoffice boxes and reg
istered fees between the years 1864
and 1875 has aroused considerable IN
terest- Inquiry developed the fact that
during those years postmasters In near
ly every state turned these fees into
the treasury but that there had been a
ruling since that time that these fees
should be kept by the postmasters in
lieu of salary.
A claim 10y one postmaster in the
state of Washington for 5000 started
the flood of resolutions and 1t is the
intention of the claimants TO try to
have Congress enact an omnibus meas
ure to refund to all postmasters the
amounts paid to the government during
that period.
No one seems to have any idea how
much money Will be involved.

Tho bandit for whom the police had
been searching for more than a month,
committed robbery after robbery In the
downtown section of San Francisco
under the noses of the detectives who
were put upon his trail. His very bold
ness made his raids successful and ne
secured several hundred dollars from
various cash registers.
His manner was cool and his ability
TO escape into the crowds on the streets
was remarkable.

raids on the stores were begun.

Choosing a Builder.

The selection of builder is quite as Important a matter in putting up a house as the choice of an architect. Don't choose the cheapest builder merely because he is cheapest. If you accept his bid, find out the reason of the cheapness. Frequently the builder is man of little means, and often he operates on borrowed capital Should the builder become bankrupt or fail to pay for his labor or materials the own CT, under the mechanics laws of most states, becomes liable for the builders debts. This is true even tAough the owner has paid the builder for his work. In order to obtain his house free and clear in such a case the own CT must meet the buildeE's obligations. The pyudent owner will, of eSurse, psy for his house only as it is constructed. Even then it would be useful caution to make sure that the builder has paid his indebtedness on the house. Pay
 ments are usually made the builder when the foundations are done. when

 Game at Newfield
O'Rourke Chased Rube Pollard in the First and 'tis We'll He Did as Results Proved.

Jimmy Gibbs was again sent in to
 ave the game for the Orators yester-
 day and came out with flying colors- It
 was right at the start after Ruoe Pol lard had walked both Maggert and whaIen that Manager O'Rourke de- ' cided that he was too wild and sent
 him tosthe stables. Gibbs started un- der difficulties. with two on and DSne
 down, but his good bead work was : With him all through. The Ponies had the bases=flied in the fourth with two
 down, but Gibbs struck out the third man.
 Again in the sixth with man on third and second and one out he struck out the next two men, His real work was in the second when he re- tired the side on strikes. The Orators for once seemed to get the hits when
 there were men on the bags It was the real c1outing of Cy Miller that . scored the runs for. the Orators. Cy
 with his record Of four hits out of five times up, drove in five Of the Ora tors seven runs.
 In the fifth inning with Bannon and 7 Ladd on the bases, Cy sent long fly over waite's' head. Waite ran back wards for the hit. going plump into an automobile which. was moored in F the bulIrushes. The ball was lost. .Cy made the circuit of the bases and Waite went down for the count. It : was some time before play was re- sumed as Waite had his hand cut from the glass on the auto, and also had his wind missing. He continued to play after his mishap-
 A double followed by single scored the only run for the visitors. The game:
 Meggert and Whalen were walloped by Pollard Manager O'Rourke gave the Rube the signal Gibbs taking the mound Collins sacrificed both men along a base Rising flew out to Ko- Waite's short fly.

Bridgeport High school played base ball every minute yesterday afternoon in New Haven when they lbuckled up against Middletown High school com ing out on top of the heap Az. The local lads remembered that session in Middletown last Monday when the league directors deprived them of a victory and handed one to Middle town. The boys went into the game for revenge and got the sweetest end of it. Coach Ted Lockwood decided to save Malcolm for to-day's game with New Haven and sent Harry Mid dlebrook to bring home the bacon Harry had his nerve with him all dur ing the contest. Six scattered hits was all that was, made off his delivery while the team behind him played errorless ball. the only misplay being a slip up a slow rolling ball by the pitcher himself.
 Although the locals did not hit Pike, the crack pitcher of the Middletowns hard. they took advantage of the weird towns errors. Pike gave but one base on balls which came in the lucky seventh. which with two hits and two errors tied up the game for Bridgeport. "Unk'' Seeley held Middle brook up in big league style. turning two runners back who tried to steal second. and also got under three diff cult foul flies. The local outfield was also in good form nothing getting by them. The score:
