tate moment and look at this in

He is John T. Brush. Some say
the initial stands for toothbrush
but, that isn't the issue.
John T. Brush is supposed to
own the New York National league
club, popularity known as the
Giants. At any rate, he is the
recognized head of the organiza
ton.
1t was an employee of the New
York club who offered Umpires
KLEIN and oJhnstone $500 last
fall to throw the last game with
Chicago to the Giants, and there.

DR.. Dreamer, club physician

American league grounds by the
national commission, being charged
with attempting to bride the arbi-
traitors. But the commission knows
Creamer wasn't handling his own
money. Messrs. Herman, Johnson
and Pulliam know it was some one
higher up who was represented by
the physician. Dreamer is the goat:
1t has, been suggested that a
"coterie of gamblers" would have
profited had the umpires accepted
the money and delivered the
goods. But were gamblers the only
ones who would profit if the pen.
nant went to New York? Scarcely.
The graveyard silence of Brush,
in refusing to discuss the scandal,
gives rise to the supposition that
John T. may have something
buried. They may be a very good
reason why Brush does not want
the truth turned upon the New
York club and it's pet stinkpot.
But others are concerned, just as
much as John T. Brush. Every
man whose money is invested in
baseball has an interest in t HIS
investigation. Instead of riding
herd on Brush so he won't talk,
they should insist that he come out
in the open and tell the whole
truth, no matter who it hurts. u =
1t is patent that had the pen
nant gone to New York, the man
who would profit the most would be
John T. Brush.
The prestige of a championship
team would mean increased gate
receipts this season, while the
worlds series money would amount
to more in New York than in any
other city in the country.
Then why, please inform me,
should John T. Brush withdraw
into a shell and attempt to head
off investigation with his now ia
nous utterance, Il have nothing to
say?"
Public sentiment is stirring up
wind in New York strong enough
to blow a hole out of the ground,
and will, trust, force the naughty
base ball barons to put the screws
on Brush and make him speak.

Lake county was parboiled yester-
day, and the vegetables in a patent

hot stove stood about as much of
chance as poor, suffering humanity in
this locality My word, it was hot!
Not the burning heat of IS or 80 de-
grees. but the soggy, humid heat that
makes rs degrees of temperature more
unbearable than a dry heat of 90 in
the shade.
The normal temperature for yester
day was IS degrees. What we got was
maximum temperature of IS degrees
and a near temperature of IS degrees.
The thermometer however. did not
tell the full tale of yesterdays suffer
ing. because it had not way of indi-
eating how soggy and sultry 1t was.

of the bricks were shunted across the

SCHOOL BOARD OFFICIAL SAYS
PROPERTY IS NOT NEGLECTED

Dr. W. F. Howat of the school board
said today that he did not agree with
the residents on Williams street that
the school properly is neglected. He
said he thought the cinders were the
proper thing for the children to play
on.
If the school grounds We're larger
the doctor thought there would be
room for lawn in front and a play
ground in the rear The grounds. how
ever, are barely large enough to accom-
modate the schoolhouse and unless more
property is bought there VIII not be
room enough for a lawn
Or. Howat says that the residents on
Williams street who own property next
10 that owned by the school city will
not even put q price on their holdings.
and it will be necessary to condemn
the land if more is bought
Furthermore, he said that the Ham
nond schools We're 100000 in debt
when he went on the school board. and
It has been only by the strictest econ
omy that it has been possible to make
the necessary improvements.
The doctor intimated that he was be-
ing criticised for selling the sand that
was used to fill the school property.

JOHNSTON
LOSES SUIT

The young son Of z. T. Johnston has
an eye to business and sold some old
rags to peddler for two cents. The
peddler had an eye to business and took
Mr. Johnstons dress suit for good
measure, and thereby hangs the tale
The boy got his two cents and the
peddler got a bundle of rags and a
dress suit. If the police are able to
locate the burglar he will probably have
something else coming to him in the
bargain.
The whole transaction happened yes
terday afternoon The boy had been
gathering the rags together for some
time and when he got a chance he
called in the peddler and offered him
the bundle. He was promptly paid
two cents for the bundle.
The boy however did not see him
take the bundle on the table nearby,
which had just come back from the
tailor. Mrs. Johnston missed it, how
ever, and then there were some explain
ations all around
So far the suit has not been recover
ed. The police are making a search
for the peddler who is said to have
an old wagon with the paint off.
