LUNAR ECLIPSE
On THURSDAY

lunar eclipse, which will be almost
total In this part Of the country, is pre-
dicted for Thursday night, June 5. The
eclipse will be visible over most of the
United States and can be seen without
a telescope or instrument of any kind.
1t is predicted that the moon will rise
eclipsed soon after sunset, and that in
the western states the extent of OBJ
scuration will be greater than in the
east 1t is probable that in the east
the moon will have risen before the
shadow has advanced very far.
The eclipse will be caused by the
passage of the moon through the shad-
ow of the earth The moon, as a rule,
in making its monthly circuit of the
earth passes either above or below the
earths shadow at a distance og 240,-
600 miles. There are time, however.
almost every years, when the moon
passes through the shadow. The dis
lance it enters into this shadow causes
the extent of observation.
A partial eclipse of the sun is pre-
dicted on June II. This will take place
| just before sunset, although the exact
time of it's appearance in various parts
Of the United States varies with the To-
| cation.

PUNK" COMEDIAN
RUINS GOOD BUSINESS
Coy Theater in Gary Closed
While Manager Seeks
New Talent.
OPENS AGAIN NEXT SUNDAY
Manager Woods in Chicago to Try
Out New Company-Says He'll
Bring Home Good One.
OPENS AGAIN NEXT SUNDAY

The old Gary theater. now named the
Cozy, at Ninth and Jefferson. seems to
be a stumbling block to every one who
tries to run 1t.
Sunday night Manager Woods, lates
of the Majestic Stock company, re-
opened the pioneer playhouse with rnu-
sic. comedy and song. The music was
fair and so was the song, but there
was slip somewhere in the comedy
department and as a result the theater
was closed last night for the rest of
the week
The cause is due to the fact that
James Finnigan who was engaged as
comedian and play producer, proved to
/ be at better candidate Tor the pro-
fessional mourners' union than Gre
ator OF rythmatic laughter.
Manager Woods realized this and
| last evening he fired Finnigan and most
of the company. Today Mr. Woods is
in Chicago engaging a new troupe. He
will try them out before they come here
so there viii be no repetition of the
last trouble. Next Sunday night the
| theater viii again open its doors and
will play nightly.
| Mr. Woods is an experienced theatrical
man and there is doubt but that the
Cozy will prosper under his manage
ment. He announces that a first class
| company will be here for Sunday
nights performance

Especial to THE TIMEs.)

East Chicago, Ind, June 2.-The East
Chicago baseball team made it six in
a row by beating the Gary oaks 10 to
0. Sunday afternoon, and trimming the
St. Johns on Decoration day, 10 to 5,
on the St. John grounds.
Sundays game was far too one-sided
to be interesting and was only featured
by the heavy hitting of the East Chi
cago boys and the superb pitching of
Havil. who held the Garyites to two
hits and never gave them chance to
score.
The St John game was more inter
esting. strengthened by four of the
Lowell players and a battery from
Schneider, ST. John went into the game
confident of victory. but before the
first inning of playing was over it was
seen that their confidence was mis-
placed. for the East Chicago boys found
Smith for two doubles and a single,
which netted two runs, and which was
only a flash of what was to follow.
East Chicago kept pounding Smith and
Sheriff and Connors, who succeeded
him until they had gathered eleven hits
five Of which were two baggers. while
St. John was having trouble with Hart
ley and could do little or nothing 18th
his delivery. Two hits were all they
were able to cop off of the East Chi
cago pitcher and they would have been
! shut out had Hartley's support been
better. but the grounds were in such

Jackson Signs Up.

George Jackson, who has been play
ing with Gary semi-pro team during
the present season, was signed up yes
terday with Huntington in the Indiana
State League. Jackson is still young
fellow, but his playing on the third
sack is considered phenomenal
strandes, another Gary man, is now
managing the Huntington team, and
signed Jackson up for the year The
team Is now the strongest in the league
and are regarded as a fast aggregation.
The fact that Jackson was able to Sc
cure berth with league team at his
age is considered quite a feat.

condition that good fielding was i'm
possible.
East Chicago's speed on bases had
st. Johns three catchers up in the air,
and when the game was called East
Chicago had stolen sixteen bases.
Arrangements are in progress for a
game with the Lowell Oaklands, cham
pions Of northern Indiana, for next
Sunday at East Chicago. and If every
thing goes through all right the local
rooters will have a chance to see the
game of their lives, for the z. C's are
determined to put a good fight against
their fast opponents, and whether they
win or lose to fight until the last man
is out.
About fifty rooters accompanied the
team to St. John and all report that it
would have been impossible to receive

them by the st. John people Follow

WANT MORE ATTENDANCE
Meetings of Gary Camp of
Modern Woodmen Will
Be Interesting.

Steps are being taken toward having
the Gary camp. Modern woodmen of
America, hold meetings with more regu-
larity. Heretofore the Woowmen. while
organized, have not been very active
for more than eighteen months. The
meetings are periodical and therefore
the interest is spasmodic.
Last Friday evening the camp held a
meeting in the K. of c. hall, Feuer
building. and while we'll attended more
could have been present. There are in
Gary many Woodmen affiliated with
outside camps who viii probably be
asked to transfer to the local juris-
dfction Clerk De Long is now looking
these members up. The prospects for
a Forester degree team here are very
good. J. Gorsuch of the Reynolds
building. who captains such a team in
Chicago, is willing to transfer and or
ganize companyin the local camp.

.ERECTS HIS OWN PLANT
(Special to TIE T1MEs.N

East Chicago, Ind. June adder
man Joseph P. Wleklinski has recently
completed the erection of a plant for
the manufacture of his X-10-U-S Tonic
Bitters. Heretofore Mr.. Wleklinskf has
been compelled to have his bitters made
outside, but his business has grown
with such rapidly that the new build
ing became a necessity. One day last
week when he was on one Of his sell
ing tours of the neighboring towns he
was compelled to make a fast run in
an automobile from Crown Point to
East Chicago in order to get the large
orders he had sold to the purchasers
in the quickest possible time. most Of
his customers having sold out their
stock of X-10-U-s Tonic Bitters. and
wishing to have it replenished in the
shortest possible time. Mr.. Wleklinski
IS already beginning to doubt whether
he did not make a mistake in not build
ing his plant even larger than he'did.

PRICES BEAR ON GARY
Demand for Steel Rolling
Stock Means Work
for Plants.

A dispatch to the Chicago Examiner
reads:
American Car & Foundry stock was
another to reach new heights and its
advance caused buying of American
Locomotive on the theory that Locomo-
tive should sell $40 a share above Car
& Foundry. This theory is probably
incorrect because most of the railroads
are going to substitute steel passenger
coaches for wooden ones. and larger
business is assured for the car build
ing companies than for the locomotive
companies"
This advance in the foundry as we'll
as the locomotive stock has a very i'm
portant bearing upon Gary. Both cor
porations are to erect their largest
plans at Gary and the tendency of the
times toward the purchase of steel roll
ing stock means increased orders at
the local plants when they are com
pleted and in operation.

ASKS FOR INFORMATION
Postmaster Call Telegraphs
to Washington for Elk
animation Results.

Postmaster Call last night sent a
telegram to the fourth assistant post
master general asking him for the
names of those who passed the carriers
examination.
Postmaster Call is anxious to get
these names, as the service has been
promised for the 18th of this month,
but owing to the short time which in
tervenes it is doubtful whether it will
put in at all this month. In addition
to waiting some time to get the names
of the successful candidates it will take
some time for the carriers to learn
their routes and because they have to
order their uniforms.
Only four carriers are provided to
begin with, but this number is thought
to be inadequate and will allow for
only one delivery a day. 1t is thought
that at least ten carriers are nedeed
to cover the city adequately.
