STREET FIGHT
NEAR VICIOUS RESORT
Disreputable Women En-
gage in Disgraceful and
Shocking Affair.
POLICE MAKE NO ARREST
Resort Had Been Closed, But Is Al
lowed to Run Wide Open
Again.

Two of the low women patrons of
Ike Smiths place, formerly operated
and still owned by Phil Casner, near
the Gary Western tracks on Wash
ington street. engaged in a fight Mon
day night at that place which was
similar in many respects to that in
which the colored women engaged at
Fifteenth and Broadway several nights
ago.
This time, however, instead of night
Ing between themselves, their attack
was conferred on the Smith saloon
which they were invited to leave when
they became engaged in some trouble
wit hthe bartender After they were
put out of the disreputable establish
ment, they threw bricks. stones and
other implements through the saloon
window in their drunken rage, while
a crowd gathered around to watch the
proceedings.
Their curses were cheered by the
crowd and when they had finished the
glass they walked of in evident sat
isfaction. In the meantime the Gary
police not only did not make an arrest,
but no report of the matter was filed
at the police station. In addition to
this fact 1T might be stated that the
police closed this place up for two
days and that it is now allowed to
remain open and in operation in the
same manner as before.

Lucy Page CASTOR. fresh from her
recent campaign against the cigarette
in Illinois and Iowa, dropped into Gary
Of Mayor Knots and spoke before the
town board. Her purpose was not to
start a crusade in Gary or in the state
of Indiana, she admitted, but just to
feel out the sentiment in this section
of the state with a view to launching
into this territory some time In the near
future.
Wants Board to Act.
Mrs. CASTOR, who is superintendent Of
the Anti-Cigarette League Of America.
and a well known lecturer on that
subject. confined her remarks to the
cigarette question in general She did
make a proposition, however, that she
may follow up later; that the town
board of Gary pass a law against the
sale of cigarettes and make a test case
out of the first arrest. The result Of
this case would then establish a prece-
dent in the state Of Indiana in the mat
ter of municipal legislation, whichever
way it terminated.
Before Mrs. CASTOR could be inter-
viewed by TIMES reporter, she wheel
ed upon the scribe and asked him If he
smoked. Upon admitting in a meek
manner that he did occasionally she
caustically remarked that it was a
shame so many newspaper men were
going to the bad" through liquor and
tobacco.

OFFICERS TO Be ELECTED


indiana Harbor, July 21.--A meet
ing OF the Commercial club of Indiana
Harbor and East Chicago will be held
this evening in the Auditorium lodge
rooms. when It is expected that a
permanent organization will be formed.
Fine progress has been made thus far,
fully 200 prospective members having
signed.
Several names have been spoken of
for president P. A. Parks the chair
man of the temporary organization,
having been most prominently men
toned for the honor Others who have
quite a following and who wish to see
them in the chair are John R. Farovid,
A G. Lundquist and c. L. Kirk The
secretaryship Is also an office about
which there is a little speculation, H.
c. Rtuledge, the secretary pro tenn,
seeming to have the edge on the bal
ance Of the members. Everett Dubbs
is another. whose name has been men
tioted as a possible secretary.
Speculation seems to have confined
itself. however, to these two offices,
there being little said about who will
serve as vice president or treasurer.
This evenings meeting will be pre-
sided over by Temporary Chairman P.
A. Parks and one OF the main subjects
before the house will be the report of
the committee on bylaws and consti-
tuition, as it viii be necessary for
these to be adopted before the cleo
ton OF officers can take place.
The committee. which IS composed of
Messrs. Strale, Jewell Patterson. West
berg, Slocum. Van Horne and Schock.
has been hard at work since the last
meeting of the body and has now, 1t
is understood, completed their I'M
portant task. Another report which is
looked forward to with considerable
interest is that of the finance commit
tee which has considered the prob
able expenditures of the organization,
and whose deductions will be based
the matter Of dues. The finance COM
mittee is composed of Messrs. Fowler,
Bader and Lundquist.

Lowell, Ind, July 21.-Taffy, the good

least-is by far not what 1t IS cracked
up to be, according to the experience of

In the stories it might have the same

not in the West Creek township case.
When it IS recorded that the young
lady in question, Miss Mile Chapman,
who stays with the Fred Buses. sus-
tanned painful injuries when she spilled
taft over her hand last Sunday evening
1t must in no way be inferred that she
was preparing the delicatessen with
an Interior motive or with designs up
on young man. for such facts are
not included In the neighborhood re-
ports.
But as a matter of news her trends
may want to know that taffy may be
treacherous. She was about to turn it
out OF the pan and accidentally poured
some Of it over her hand. 1t burned
her severely, so badly in places that
flash pealed off Her injuries were
very painful but in no way serious
Medical help was summoned and the
wound was dressed, but 1t will be some
weeks before she will have the full
use of her hand.

Millinery is one OF the most impor.

terial. AS will be remembered, the
hat worn by the famous outlaw of this
name was turned up on one side, had
rather high crown. and was trimmed
with two long Quill-like feathers. The
smart mondaine, although retaining
the shape, has substituted rosette of
tinsei and tuft of breast plumage
for the feathers. For travelling it will

burgh on April -. 1867, from a visit
to her infant son laho was afterward
James I. Of England. Boutwell,, at tho
head of an armed force, met her and
carried her away to Dunbar castle.
Though this daring act was supposed
to be nothing less than piece of law
less kidnapping. it is more than prob.
able that Mary not only freely con-
sented to the scheme, but had helped
to plan it. At any rate, she made no
resistance. Boutwell, promptly d.
vorced his faithful wife, and on May
Is, 1867 (barely three months after
Darnley's death), he and Mary were
married. Mary had meanwhile made
Boutwell, duke of Orkney. But he was,
to all intents and purposes, the real
ruler of Scotland. When he and Mary
appeared in public he used to hold
his cap in his hand to show he was
her subject. But Mary would snatch
the cap from him and put it on his
head to indicate that he was her
equal He tyrannized over her and be-
haved toward her with none of the
courtesy or Difference due her rank.
He had apparently won his life's ambi-
tion and no longer troubled to show
civility to the woman to whom he
owed all. But the more cruelty he
treated her the more Mary loved him.
The Scotch lords hated Boutwell,
and had no idea of accepting him as
their ruler. They rose in arms and
took Mary away from him. She es-
capped from them disguised as boy
and joined Boutwell,. Then the lords
marched against the lovers in open
warfare. Boutwell,, who was as brave
as he was brutal, offered to settle the
-. quarrel by single
INC e"o 81 combat with any
'"e "o'''a'ee' champion the
lords might name. The challenge
was rejected. The queens followers
deserted her. She was at the lords
mercy.
Hemmed in and unable to escape,
she kissed Boutwell, good-by with
many tears and surrendered to her
foes. Boutwell,, seeing all was lost,
deserted her, and, slipping through
the enemy's lines, escaped to Norway.
There he was captured, and died in.
sane in Scandinavian prison. Mary
was dethroned. She fed for protection
to England. There Queen Elizabeth
cast her into prison and later had her
beheaded.
But, indirectly, the Scotch queen
was avenged. Her descendants, the
Stuart kings, misruled England and
(by their fickleness and other evil
qualities inherited from Nary made
that country suffer untold misfor-
tunes.

This is the love story of q fasctnat-
ing, wicked woman and of a man who
was quite as wicked without being in
the least fascinating. The woman
was Mary Queen Of Scots. The man
was her husband, James Hepburn,
earl of Boutwell,.
Mary inherited the crown of Scot
land. In early youth she married
King Francis II. of France. He died
and she came back to rule her own
country. The gay, frivolous French
court had just suited Mary's light ma
ture. With the harsh, grave, quarrel
some Scots who now surrounded her
she had nothing in common. She
shocked them. They bored her. For
state reasons she married her cousin,
young Lord Darnley. He was a big,
awkward, stupid, weak fellow whom
Mary grew to despise. He was des-
perately afraid of her, and was jealous
as well. He had ample cause for both
emotions. The marriage was unhap-
py. So was Mary's whole reign. She
d1sliked her people. They distrusted
her. From the first everything seemed
to 90 wrong.
1t was when affairs were at their
worst that Boutwell, loomed up big on
the political horizon. Though of high
rank, he was ruffian adventurer, who
had more than once been mixed up in

sought Mary's death or Imprisonment
Boutwell,, with strong army at his
back, lnterfered in her behalf. He
also helped to stir her dislike for
Darnley into hatred. Soon afterward
Darnley was assassinated. There can
be no doubt that Boutwell, caused his
murder or that Mary knew beforehand
what fate the earl had plotted for her
young husband. With Darnley out of
the way all was clear sailing for Both
we'll. He had gained tremendous in.
nuence over the queen. Where other
men fattered her he bullied her.
Where others begged for her favor
Boutwell, brutally demanded it. He
was her master by sheer force of will
and rough strength. This sort of man
appealed to Mary's tickle heart. She
loved him more and more devotedly
the more brutal treatment she re-
celved at his hands. Whatever orders
he gave she meekly obeyed. It was
another case of Beauty and the Beast.
Directly after Darnley's murder
Boutwell, planned a master stroke in
his game of courtship and statecraft.

TO BE A SEASON OF SERGE
Every Kind Of This Material Is In
Favor, But the Wide Vale 10
Best Liked.

There will be a run upon serge this
winter. It has always been a stock
material. This year the weave Is Ut
terly unlike anything we have had.
There were a few patterns Of it last
winter. to be accurate, but this year
there are a great number, bit rough
er than before.
The woman who reads that serge is
in fashion, and then buys the kind
that she used to wear. the kind that
mems suits are made Of, has thrown
away money. The weave this year Is
the wide vale kind, the wider the bet
ter. The cord in the new serge Is
heavy and rough, and the marking has
a good deal of character about It.
