K. 8 {. ORDINANCE
BEATEN, 81 TO 23
Opponents Denounce Meas
ure as Pet Plan of I. C.
to Build Tracks.

Two hours of attack on the franchise
Of the Kensington and Eastern rail-
road, during which amendments aimed
to force the Illinois Central to electrify
its terminals. elevate its tracks. and
reduce its suburban fares. left the
measure stranded. BY a vote of 81 to
23 it tailed to pass, under the rule Of
Mayor Busse that full majority Of
the entire 20 votes in the council is
necessary to an ordinance.
Little direct criticism Of the franchise
in itself was offered, and its defeat was
ascribed to the recognition that it was

Takes Place in Ham
mond.

The Bessemer Park indoor baseball
team defeated the Hammond team by
the score of IS to and considering
the fact that this is he first game
that the Hammond team ever partici-
pated in, the score is not so bad
The game was witnessed bv about
400 people, among whom were num-
Der of women. The spectators were
all the guests of the members of the
Hammond Athletic club and took this
opportunity to make a general inspec-
ton of the rooms of the new club.
The lineup of the Hammond team
was composed of men who had never
played the game before excepting All
man. who alone had some previous ex-
perience- Notwithstanding the fact
that the contest was one sided it was
extremely interesting to the spectators
and they are anxious to have more
games scheduled in the future.
The lineup of the Hammond team
was as follows: Stewart, captain and
catcher; Aiman, pitcher; Brady. left
shortstop, Smith, right shortstop; Di-

FAST WRESTLING MATCH
Chicago Sporting Manager
Will Put on Bill in
Hammond.

Cal Harris. Tony Caponi's manager.
was in the city yesterday to make ar
rangements with the Bijou theater for
one of the fastest and neatest wrestling
contests that has ever been staged here.
Wrestling is a game that lacks the
brutal features of prize fghting and
yet retains all of the interesting and
exciting ones. The young men. who
will probably appear in Hammond. are
well formed lads. 81 years Of age who
are said to be among the fastest in the
country.
Harris says Gotch saw their work
and admitted that they knew the game
from start to finish Manager Craick
of the Bijou theater likes the idea and
may decide to take Harris proteges
on. The entertainment is one that is
intended for women, as well as men.
and as it accompanied by a lecture
by Harris on physical culture and
wrestling, It is likely to prove a great
drawing card.
Harris himself has a pleasing per-
sonalfty, and will help out the attrac-
tion considerably. The announcement
of the arrangements will be made in
The TINES in the near future

pany Is Sued by An
drew Fuzzy.

Andrew Fuzzy, through one of the
Hammond attorneys, has locked horns
with che Chicago, Lake Shore & South
Bend Interurban company and the
Pere Marquette Railway company over
the killing of seevral horses, for which
he believes he is entitled to damages.
In one case he claims that one horse
was killed and another was injured
when a Chicago. Lake Shore & South
Bend car struck the outfit while his
wagon containing coal was stuck in
the mud near the bridge in East Chi
cago. He asks $500 for the loss Of
the two horses and the harness.
In the case of the Pere Marquette
railroad, he alleges that, owing to de-
fective fence along the railroads right
of-way- his horse got on the railroad
track and was struck by swiftly NOV
ing train. The animal was killed and
Fuzzy asks for $500 damages.

ty. came up for trial yesterday before
Judge W. c. McMahan in the Porter

Both Attorney L. E. Boone of Ham

Greenwald in behalf of the state, and
Attorney Bretsch of Gary, of the firm
Of Harris and Bretsch, who are repre-
senting the defendant. questioned the
prospective jurymen very carefully as
to whether or not they would be preiu-
diced against the credibility of the evi-
dence contained in any confession Of
the defendant in case one should be
produced in evidence. The question of
the jurymens attitude toward capital
punishment also was entered into in
detail
1t is evident from the questioning
during the securing of the jury that
the defendant viii plead insanity and
that the state will demand the inflfc-
ton OF the death penalty. The court
room is nearly filed with eager spec
tators and many remarks can be over
heard in regard to the brutal and de-

FORGET
THE GIRL, 50 He
ENDS HIS LIFE
Emil Vacca, Young Jewelry Pol
Usher, Tried Hard to Danish
Her Memory.

1t developed today that Emil Vacca,
the young jeweiry poiisner who ended
his life in Branch Brook Park by drink
ing carbolic acid last night, had vigor-
ously fought for the past two weeks
to forget the girl whose GOODNESS, he
claimed. drove him to his death. It was
because Anna Ash, with whom he had
been going for the past nine months, is
alleged to have told him recently that
their friendship must end that the
young man sought solace in oblivion. y
Sydney Wassal, of the jewelry manu-
featuring firm of Herbert & Wassal, by
whom vacca had been employed, said
today that he saw the young man
yesterday.
I'VE had to let him go for a couple of
weeks on account of slack work, and
had just told him that he might start
in again tomorrow. He said he was
trying to forget the girl, and was going
to settle down and save his money. He
t~elephoned me later and wanted to
know IL a card from Anna had been
received at the office. The next thing
I heard about him was the story of his
death"
Vacca's landloard for the past six
weeks, said hat the young mar had
endeavored to leave Newark en- route
for Florida during the past week, but
had been discouraged by brakemen.
