Ships I'm Fine Trim.
As the battleships came in today
looking their fittest and apparently
none the worse for the wear of the
long voyage of 42,227 miles, equal TO
almost twice the distance around the
equator the nava' authorities drew a
breath of relief. Not that there had
been any apprehension at any time OF
any serious difficulties, either in the
matter of navigation or possible mil
itary work to do, but because the
handling of sixteen of the most mod
ern and formidable sea-fighting en-
glnes of the world, the supplying
them with coal, oil and food at the
different ports where stops were
made. and providing the ships with
the pick of the officers and men of
the navy while on foreign view. re-
quired careful and almost constant
attention. from the time the cruise
was first projected. in July, 1907, un-
til the command left Gibralter a lit
tie over two weeks ago.
Successful Completion.
The successful completion of the |
cruise without noteworthy accident |
or untoward incident from either |
naval or political point of view, is
regarded by all nations as history
Never before has any battle
command made such long and prac-
tically continuous voyage Never be-
fore has any fleet circumnavigated |
the globe, whether in one or separ-
ate voyages. Never before has any
armada of any of the countries of the
world visited so many ports, at such
great distances, in so many countries,
and under so many flages. And
never was any naval command re-
ceived with such universal manifes-
tations of friendly feeling. as marked
the progress of the American fleet at
every one of its two-score stops on the
cruise around the world.

Mayor Guthrie is a lawyer and before
becoming mayor of the city, enjoyed
one of the best practices in that par
of the state. He was SO favorably i'm
pressed with Gary and its opportuni-
ties, however. that he announced to his
friends while here that he would move
to this city as soon as his term of Of

but who afterwards proved to be Jack

he had been thrown to the pavement

a portion of his body I drove the car
back to the place where he lay on the

AS the accident occurred nearer to
East Chicago than Hammond We de-

thought he had been killed, but after
ward we found that ne was alive We
took him to Schlfckers drug store

him.
He was afterwards taken to the hos

CANDIDATES NOT
GIVEN 3RO DEGREE
misunderstanding Between
Gary K. of C.'s and Dis
trict Deputy.

The Knights of Columbus met yester-
day afternoon in their lodge rooms for
the purpose of giving the three de-
grees to forty candidates. The occa-
sion attracted many visitors from
lodges in surrounding towns. most of
them being from Hammond, Whiting
and East Chicago. The banquet was
an unqualified success and the speeches
delivered by John Poulton and ex-
Mayor Dunn of Chicago and Mayor
Fogerty of South Bend were we'll re-
ceived.
The third degree was not given to
the candidates as it was expected to do
owing to misunderstanding between
the lodge members and District Deputy
Maher of Chicago who was to have put
on this degree with his team. 1t is
said that Indiana District Deputy Dan
Moran was to have arranged for Maher
to be present, but that he also labored
under a misunderstanding.
Although the third degree was not
put on yesterday the other part of the
work was interesting and was watched
by a large number of spectators.
At the banquet at which there were
about two hundred present, the pro-
gram was very interesting. About two
| hundred assembled to dine al the pref
tily decorated tables at which Pro
pr!etor George O'Donnel of the Gary
/ hotel supplied an abundance of food.

East Chicago, Ind, Sept. 20.-Beacon
street was the scene last night of a
series of burglaries and attempted bur
glaries. in which the burglars made
two successful raids. getting in one
place, getting plumber valued at $40
while in the other they got SIS in
cash and a piece of pie.
The victims of the burglaries were
Frank living, master mechanic at the
Republic mill. and J. G. Allen. cashier
of the Indiana Harbor State bank. both
of whom reside in the 1900 block of
Beacon street. In both instances en-
trance was effected by raising a screen
and climbing in through the windows.
Another place, which bore unmistake-
able evidences of an attempt having
been made to enter it, was the resi-
dence of William Meade of the South
Chicago ship yard. This had a screen
raised, but as Mrs. Meade happened to
get up with her little son about the
time the burglars are supposed to have
been trying to get in and turned on
one of the electric lights, it IS supposed
to have frightened them away. In the
morning the raised screen was discov-
cred. but nothing was missing. and it is
not thought the burglars got inside
In the cases of the other houses en-
tered the screens were removed from
the windows and were left standing
in the yard beside the houses.
