WESTON IN NEW HIKE
Walker Will Start on His
Seventeen Birthday.

New York, Jan. 22.-Not satisfied
with his walk from Portland Ne, to
Chicago, just forty years after his rec
ord walk of Oct %, 1867, Edward Pay
son Weston has undertaken still
greater feat. On his SEVENTEEN birth
day, March Is, he will leave New York
for San Francisco, a 1000 mile journey,
which he expects to cover in 100 days.
Mr. Weston has not selected his route
but favors the northern line across the
United States to the Alaska-Yukon-
Pacific exposition at Seattle Wash, and
then to San Francisco. He will not
walk on Sundays, but will use that day
to deliver lectures en- route. His walk
will start on March 10 and will be
completed early in July. Mr.. Weston
will endeavor to have newspaper men
from the various cities accompany him
throughout.
This is probably the first and only
attempt ever made to cross America
under surveillance during the entire
trip" said Mr.. Weston in talking of
his venture, and I intend to create a
record for younger men to aim at in
future years. Automobiles will ac-
company me and carry my judges and
my attendants throughout the journey.
During my walk from Portland to Chi
cago I found the automobile very help
full, as I wore out several teams of
| horses"

mission by telegraph or telephone from
one state or territory to another all
race track news pertaining to pool SELL
ing, bookmaking. lotteries, or even the
odds on races.
To attempt to send such a message. or
for a person or corporation or employee
of a corporation to receive such mes
sage. is declared to be a misdemeanor,
punishable for the first offense by I'M
prisonment for not more than two
months or a fine OF not more than
$1,000. or both, while for a second or
later offense the penalty is impris-
onment alone for the same period for
each offense
The bill also forbids sending of such
news to or receiving it from a foreign
country, and directs the postmaster
general to procure list OF all foreign
lotteries and return to them all mail
coming from them TO this country.

Editor: Will you kindly print the fol-
lowing barn fight which took place here
Thursday night.
Kid shapeless and Bat Eaton were
matched to fight to a finish before fifty
fight fans of Hegewisch, and they met
at a barn on Erie avenue at $50. Kid
Shapeless was first to appear. wearing
green trunks and seconded by Ed Lund-
berg, Carlin and Bill McKernon. In a
few minutes Eaton appeared with his
seconds. who were Art Johnson and c.
Paul. Both fighters were loudly cheer
ed by their hackers. Louis Deleski was
chosen referee and Fisher and Ross
were the timekeepers.
The fight started at $50 and was the
best seen here for a long time. The
first round ended in Eatons favor and
the second was about even. They were
mixing lively when the Kid slipped one
over to the jaw in the third round and
Eaton went down for the count of five.
He got up and the Kid put him down
for good. Eaton was counted out by
Deleski. There was no blood shed in
the fight at all.
I will close, hoping to see this in

POLICE REPORT IS
INTERESTING INDEED.
Chief Higgins Prepared the
First Document in
East Chicago.
WORK OF OFFICERS ITEMRED
Of the 222 Cases, Including Saloon
keepers, Few Are For Vio-
lating Closing Law.
Especial to THE rIMEs.)

East Chicago, Ind, Jan. 23--The
saloonkeepers of East Chicago and In
diana Harbor obey the laws of the
state as well. if not better than any
other city in the county" said Chief
of Police Higgins in discussing his an
nual report Thursday afternoon. The
report shows 222 reports filed by po-
lice officers relative to saloons and in
a earlier explanation it was declared
that this included all violations of the
II o'clock closing law
These are far in the minority" said
Chief Higgins. and the 222 reports
deal mainly with the finding of empty
cases and kegs on the various side
walks in front of saloons. thereby OBJ
structing traffic. Our officers report
on these matters after having the sa-
loon proprietors remove the obstruc-
ton"
Report Is First One.
The police official also declares that
during the past year there have not
been more than dozen cases in which
saloons could actually be prosecuted
for keeping open after hours. The re-
port necessarily dealt with all saloon
reports under one heading and caused
confusion which led to the belief that
East Chicago is the black sheep of the
Calumet region.
Chief Higgins report is the first that
has ever been prepared in East Chi
cago and is drawn along lines sug-
gested by the reports of metropolitan
police boards. 1t deals with the indi-
vidual work OF the officers along every
branch of criminal work and a sepa-
rate sheet is devoted to interesting
tabular information on the number OF
reports filed, arrests made during each
month of the year. prosecutions
sustained, fines collected. etc. The re-
port will be presented to the chairman
of the police and fire committee.
