Johnson Still 10y Riding''

With the date of the big prize fight
less than three months away, Jack
Johnson, the colored heavy weight, is
probably 10y riding" to-day instead of
taking seriously his fight with Jenries.
He declares that he Is in excellent con-
dition, however, and Is more than con-
fldent that he will defeat the big Cali
fornan.
Johnson's courage under adverse cir
cumstances has never been fully prov
en-. The average negro does not like
the gaff in the prize ring. There have
been exceptions to this but the rule is
against them Most of them have a
yellow streak when 1t comes down to
comparison with white adversaries. No
white man has so far been able to un-
cover Johnson i'm this respect. His
courage viii have to have "A proving
and it looks as though there Is no
chance for any such a trial before the
big fight.
Many of Jacks stanchest admirers
are asking themselves the question,
win the present life that Johnson is
leading have an effect upon his recu-
perative powers when he enters the
ring?" II is a well-known fact that the
colored man has been having a touch
of the gay life-at least the frequency
with which he has been arrested for
Joy riding" indicates such.

Popularity of Wrestling

Probably never before has wrestling

Is Much interest is manifested all

The year of 1909 was by far the most
prosperous year enjoyed by the crap
piers. So many reasons can be given
for II, but in my opinion there is only
one reason that can properly be as
signed for the wonderful success OF the
wrestling game-honesty. No matter

Lalpn Tennis in Vogue

Lawn tennis will vie stronger pro-
portionately with other outdoor sports
for 1910 than any preceding year, If
indication can be taken as criterion,
1t Is n game that should be played by
the young and old alike for tennis
offers them the neld for their efforts,
and this accounts for the widespread
and firmly established popularity of
this grcG. game. Amy one can play II,
after u fashion; tlll, short, thin, fat,
young, middle aged and even old, rich
or poor; and not men only, but women
and children. But to the trained ath-
lete II offers more than Il pleasant out
door exercise. lie finds in it a game
where every one of his powers and fac
ulties, both of mind and body, however
well trained they may be, must be ex-
erted to the utmost when he plays as
the expert plays.
The unintated have at times laughed
at tennis as n game for wealSlings and
women, but let them once see a cham
pionship match between players of the
caliber of Larned and Wright and they
will quickly discover their error The
bah player, the track athlete or the
prize fighter, even in training, would

NO CHARITY CASES
REPORTS PHYSICIAN
Absence of Sick Being Doc
tored at Township Ex-
pense Is Remarkable.

DR.. Alva Young, who has been ap-
pointed by Township Trustee John c..
Becker to doctor the poor of Hammond
and vicinity. reports that he has not a
single charity patient under his care
and has not had one for some time.
This is regarded as a remarkable con-
dition of affairs and indicates that the
region is in a remarkably prosperous
condition. 1t is a condition that is al
most unprecedented in community of
30,0 900 inhabitants.
OF course, the number of charity pa
tients increases in the winter time. and
there are times when there are five or
six patients of this character under
the expense of the county all OF the
time.
One explanation of the facts as re-
ported by DR.. Young is that many of
the Hammond doctors treat patients
whom they know cannot pay and do it
as matter OF charity

|NTERCITY MAIL
MATTER REVIVED
Perseverance of Secretary
Johnston Promises to
Bring Results.

Secretary z. F. Johnston of the Ham
mond Business Mems association said
today that he had received a letter
from the postoffice department. in
which it was stated that the question
of providing Hammond with improved
inter city mail service had not been
dropped
He said that from what he could
gather the postoffice department at
Washington had made simply a super
fetal examination of the case which the
cities of the Calumet region had made
out and by referring to the files had
discovered that this matter had come
up before and an adverse report had
been made
When as a result of Johnston's per-
sistance the matter was again called
to its attention. it is believed that the
department had determined to make a
new and more thorough Investigation
of the merits of the regions demands.
1t is expected something further
will be heard on the matter.

TWO DRUNKS HAVE
MUSICAL JAGS

Two men who apparently differ with
Carrie Nation were arrested last even
ing by officer Pophlatz and fined s11
for drunkenness this morning in the
city court. A unique coincident sur
rounds the arrests.
About midnight the policeman heard
a voice raised in song. He had no
trouble locating the singer, who was
seated upon the platform of the Monon
depot. The happy drunk was Mike
Welsh of this city and had no objec-
tions to accompanying the officer to
the station.
AS the policeman was returning he
heard another solo coming from nearly
the same location. This was Mike Hol-
land. who cheerfully assented to spend
the night in captivity.
The two Mikes were arraigned before
Judge Barnett and given S11 judgment

JUDGE REITER OEWSES
PRACTICABLE PLAN
Will Employ Minute Clerk
to Save Time by Writing
Down Minutes.

Judge Virgil S. Reiter, who has de-
vised about all of the new wrinkles
that his ingenuity could devise to facil-
itate the transaction of the business
of the Lake superior court, today an
nounced that he would employ min
ute clerk on Mondays to save him the
time writing down the minutes.
In view of the fact that over 200
new cases have been fled in court dur
ing vacation time and that the GRIM
inal business this year is expected to
exceed that of last year, Judge Reiter
is looking forward to a busy season.
Reiter holds the record for business
transacted by a single judge in the
state of Indiana, and 1t Is expected that
he will break his own record this year
unless he is unlucky enough to run
across a large number of trial cases
which require several weeks.
1t is expected that long before the
new term is over the court will
again be quartered in It's own home il
the Lake superior court house. The
new place. however, will not facilitate
the transaction of business to any
great extent.
The only advantage is that there il
an additional court room, where specia
judges may sit and try cases and which
will be used if the next Legislature
provides the local court with anothe
judge.

Up to Hammond to Make Move

What has become of the amalga-

now stands the city of Hammond is
in delicate position. 1t has violated
all of the rules of intercity diplomacy
and unless something is done the
city of Hammond will be Sin bad"

After the question of amalgamation
of Hammond and East Chicago had
been temporarily dropped the Com
mercial Club of Indiana Harbor came
forward and suggested that the COM

some means of preparing the way for
amalgamation.

cred him last Saturday at Portland
Me, by the board of trustees of that
institution. He said in his letter that
the place offered him was too good to
be turned down and since he had al
ways been engaged in educational

him more than politics, he felt that he
ought to accept it.

When it became known several days
ago that there was a likelihood that
he would resign from the ticket the
Taggart bunch got busy. It has been
we'll known that Alley was not Tag
CART man and also that he was a popu
lar candidate. In fact Alley was the
strongest man by far as candidate
that there was on the democratic tick
ct, because he was well known all over
the state in educational circles and had
the additional prestige of a wide
quaintance because of his connection
with Indiana university for years.
Alley got a place on the state ticket
two years ago in spite of the Taggart
crowd and was elected. The Taggart
candidates two years ago were defeated
and the anti-Taggart candidates on the
ticket were elected This year Alley
was renominated without opposition.

Crown Point, Ind, Aug. 27.-The
north end of the county doomed up big
and strong at the county seat yester-
day and while Crown Point and it's
territory east and west sent them sew
era1 annual quota. the southern part
of Lake County was conspicuous only
by it's absence. The crowd while not
a record breaker for the last day was
above the average about $500 paid ad-

county been better represented there

loser on this years fair and the fact is
regrettable, as they were making near
deficiency of last year and still be on
the winning side at this years fair.
The crowd which attended yesterday
were out for good time and their
liberality in spending money saved the
association for lots of the smaller at
fractions and concessions. Outside OF
the financial aspect, the 1910 fair was

OBJECTS TO W|FE'S
AFFINITY; ARRESTED
Louis Kech Says That Is
One Way to Get House

Life is a funny proposition" thinks
Louioh Kech, an employe of the Stand
ard Car company who was arrested
last night for objecting to having his
wife leave him for another. 1t seems
that Kech's only crime was a protest
against the affinity and that, although
he made no assault or threat, a blue
coat was called by his wife to their
home in company house 1S6 and Louis
compelled to spend the night at the po-
lice station.
AS no one appeared against Kech at
the trial this morning, he was dismissed
by Judge Barnett.
Kech believed that it was merely 6
ruse to get him away for the night and
was filled with a righteous wrath. He
was warned by the Judge against any
violence in revenge.

Crown Point. Ind, Aug. 27.-Unless
Congressman Edgar D. Crumpacker
comes to Lake county very soon he
will have cause to worry. because John
B. Peterson, the Crown Point states
man and his democratic rival for con-
gress, has taken time by the forelock.
Yesterday Judge Peterson was the
busiest man at the county fair. When
he was not handing out stogies 10 his
old time farmer friends and acquaint-
ances and praising their cattle and
hogs. he was complimenting, the la
dies and kissing their babies, and was
buster than the cashier at the oriental
show.
Judge There With Glad Hand.
While THE TIMES representative
made no special effort to keep in the
tracks of the aspirant for congression-
al honors, yet he spied Judge Peterson
a dozen times during the day, discuss
ing the advisability of raising alfalfa
instead of shorthorn cattle with one
bunch of farmers and discussing the
tariff question with another. on the
latter question the judge is a little un.
settled and while discussing the topic
before the farmers wives in the Flora
hall where the fancy work articles are
on exhibition. he became confused il
talking with them as to whether the
waist line on the fall dresses should
be lowered or raised, and several time!

and the other commercial clubs of the
region to participate in its delibera-
