Hammond is fast becoming known as
a sporting center, owing to the liberal
patronage that is always bestowed up
on meritorious events. Tomorrow night
the citizens of the city will have an
other opportunity to show their ap-
probation of good sport when the
greatest all-star wrestling carnival
that has ever been held in the city
will take place at the Towle Opera
House. This event will be held under
the auspices of the Empire Athletic
club of Chicago, and the character of
the talent that is carded not only as
sures a feast of sport. but should
guarantee a crowded house
There are three events on the pro-
gram, all of which should prove excit-
ing. and any one of which is alone
worth the price of admission. The first
is between Adolph Ernest, who is
famed for his skill in German turner
circles. and who rarely has suffered q
defeat His opponent will be Tom
Wallace of ST. Louis. who is consid-
cred one OF the champions of the city
at the end of the bridge, and has wor
many laurels there. Both men have
many enthusiastic admirers, and tbs
| contest will be a keen one.

Oficial information is to the effect
that Hammond proper has one case
of typhoid fever thug far for the month
of January. Such is the report that IS
filed in the office of DIR. W. d. Weis,
secretary of the board of health. On
the face of it, 1t seems incongruous
with seemingly existent facts and an
inquiry for explanation unsheathed
prod which the secretary contemplates
using on some of the Hammond physi-
clans.
II have a well founded suspicion.
that some of the Hammond physicians
are overlooking the state law which
provides that they shall file with the
board of health any cases of Infectious
diseases which may come under their
care. Dr. Hurry has written to me- on
the subject and has urged me to bring

|. COX IS
IN FAVOR OF
CRUSADE

Lawrence Cox said yesterday, after
seeing the crusade that THE TIMES has
started against the presence of minors
in poolrooms over the city, that he is
thoroughly in sympathy with the
movement.
He said that he had made an effort
to keep the young men under age out
of his place and that he did not care
te cater to their trade. He said that
when he started his place he made up
his mind that it should not become
the hang out for young toughs.
Since that time he has repeatedly is
sued instructions to his employees to
keep minors out of the place and posi-
lively not to admit the young toughs
that have been in the habit of fire.
quenting the other places.
Mr.. Cox is of the opinion that the
presence of these young men has the
effect of driving away the better class
of patrons whom he would like to haev
in his place

EAST CHICAGO WANTS
new LIBRARIAN
Urbana Young Lady May
Be Engaged for the
Position.
Especial to THE TIMES. }

East Chicago, Ind. Jan. 12-The
East Chicago library is for the time
being without a librarian. l. r. Bianch-
ard, who came to this city about a
month ago to place the new library
on its feet. having resigned. III health
is said to have been the cause of the
resignation.
The library board is now figuring on
engaging Miss Swevy of Urbana, Ill
who in at present connected wit hthe
Illinois State university library.
In the meantime. Miss Scott, assist
ant organizer for the state library bu-
reau at Indianapolis is in charge and
she may continue in East Chicago for
ten days or two weeks, or until such
time as the local board secures the
services of permanent librarian
There was meeting last night of
the library board to confer with Miss
Scott on matters pertaining to the IL
brary.
John r. Farovid. in speaking of Mr..
Blanchard's resignation, said yesterday:
There was no trouble of any kind be-
tween Mr.. Blanchard and the members
of the board. His resignation was vol
untary, and he gave as his reason i'll
health. I think he Is suffering from a
mild form OF nervous prostration, as he
had ben working hard in Albany be-
fore he came to us, and he decided that
he needed a rest. He came to us we'll
recommended and his qualifications
seemed to amply bear out his recon-
mendations, and I for one feel that the
library has sustained a loss in his de-
parture. I believe the other members
of the board feel the same way about
IT."

terest in it.
Mr.. Knots deplored Hammond's poor
hotel facilities. and said that this city
is the natural place for conventions.
He said that while rents in Gary are
high, that the cost OF lots and the
improvements were SO high that it
would take years to develope Gary
as a residential district.
Roasts Newspapers.
A. +. Knots then took up the news
papers of the city. He declared that
the newspapers of Hammond are a
disgrace to the city. He said that they
are the vilest. dirtiest and most SLAM
derous publications he ever saw. He
said that the business men of the city
ought to take steps to suppress them,
and If they did not succeed a vigilence
committee should be organized to put
them out of the business.
Just how and when the dreadful at
tack should be made. Mr. Knots did
not explain. The former publisher of
The Northern Indianian got so excited
over the matter that he suffered as he
spoke. He was so hot under the coll
lar and so red in the face that 1t was
apparent he getting something out
of his system that had been troubling
him for a long time
While the newspapers were entirely
irrelevant to the question of maintain
ing Hammond's industrial supremacy.
Mr.. Knots took the liberty of intrud-
ing his personal views of the press
upon his hearers His explosive fit was
the sensation OF the evening. News
paper men We're present who might
have pointed to his relations with the
notorious Costello on the Northern In
dianian, but they had enough discre-
ton to realize that there is a place for
all things.
A M. Turner concluded the program
of the evening by a fine talk on the
value of men in the community. Mr..
Turner said that it was high minded,
public spirited, capable business men
would would make the city the great
est municipality in the region.

REPORT OF TYPHOID
EPIDEMIC NOT TRUE

legal proceedings against those who
neglect their duty in this respect. He
takes the position that the filing of this
information is a duty that the physi-
clans owe the community and I agree
with him.
PseudO-Typhoid rampant.
"At that 1 am satisfied that the
number of typhoid fever cases in Ham
mond is small, but the rule applices to
all infectious diseases. / appreciate
the fact that the impression is abroad
that there is considerable typhoid in
Hammond. From first reports this
seems to be true but in nearly all cases
1t developes to be to what is known as
pseudo typhoid, a sickness having in
the beginning nearly the same symp-
toms as that of typhoid. 1t later effect
however, is different and 1t lasts only
three to seven days.

a LETTER FROM LISBON.
Views and Comments by The Adyer-
tiser's Correspondent.

Lisbon, Aug S.-The farmers have
about finished hoeing and plowing
cotton. Some of the crops are in fine
shape while others are not so good.
Around Lisbon the crops are some bet
ter but later than last year, but this
crop depends upon the early or late
fall.
Mr.. James Holmes has q very fine
prospect in the Boys Corn contest of
the Anderson variety. We hope that
James will come out with first prize
this fall. We have had fine rains. We
feel now, IL nothing happens. we may
make n fairly good yield of both corn
and cotton. There is fine pea vine
hay crop coming on that will add
much to the forage crop.
Mrs. Cora Wharton and son of Rock
ingham, N. c.. Miss Marie Oliphant of
Blacksburg and Miss Margaret Dunlap
OF Laurens spent at fortnight with
Mrs. j. t. Ballew.
Mrs. Charles Milan and son of Cam
den, Mr.. l.. Milan of Columbia, Mr..
Rivens Milan of Durham, N. G. and
others are spending a while with Mrs.
Milan and Mrs. Fuller
The Wrights, Howells and Browns
went down on Little river last Fri
day, near Dunlap's bridge, and caught
more fish than they could eat. That
means something, as we know how
those men enjoy fish stew made by
Mr.. Howell.
Your correspondent went on little
outing to Glenn and West Springs
last week. Found the crops very poor
with few exceptions and in many plac-
es needing rain very badly. There
was large crowd at Glenn's Hotel
and private boarding houses. Heard
bus little politics. Featherstone, Nc
Leod, and Blease were the only men
j heard mentioned for governor. We
think that Featherstone is in lead and
will end up that way. At any rate
Featherstone is going to be in second
