ON STRIKE
Boys Refuse to Sell Chicago
Papers Excepting Examin-
er-Grievance Is Against
Isaac Pollard, the Local
Agent-Call Him Unfair.

ALL of the newsboys, with one or two
exceptions. are on<a strike and refuse
to carry the Chicago papers with the
exception of The Examiner. The trou-
BILE. the boys claim. Is caused by the
attitude of Isaac Pollard, the local
agent, who has issued notice that
the boys must pay for their papers
from one to three days in advance.
The agency of The Examiner was
taken away from Pollard and will be
handled by one of the boys. For this
reason the boys are selling only Ex
aminers. 1t is expected that the agency
for the American will also be taken
from Pollard.
The boys say that Pollard issued
notice the other day that they must
pay for the daily Chicago papers a day
in advance and must pay for the Sun
day papers three days in advance. They
say that this rule imposes a hardship
upon them that they will not agree to.
Subscribers Disappointed.
The boys also make other charges
against Pollard. They declare that in
a number of instances the boys have
not been treated fairly. The notice to
pay in advance was the last straw, and
Saturday the boys refused to carry
the sunday papers,
AS result hundreds of subscrib-
ers to the Chicag go Sunday papers were
disappointed and were compelled to go
without their papers or buy an Ex
aminer. The boys say that Pollard
had all he could do to get rid of his
papers and that there were great piles
of them left on his hands.
1t is not known when the matter will
be settled, but it is understood that
the boys will hold out until Pollard
comes to time or until the Chicago pa
pers place the agency for their pa
pers in other hands
Fitzgerald Talks.
The boys who are on a strike num-
ber among them some of the best street
statesmen in the city. Edwin Fitzgerald
one of the boys. said today, I'VE
do not believe that Pollard is treating
us right when he compels US to pay
for our papers so far in advance The
Chicago Examiner has already been
taken from him, and we expect that
some of the other papers will also can
eel their contracts.
Fitzgerald went on to say that the
saloonkeepers also have a score against
Pollard for putting anti-saloon litera-
ture in the papers he delivers He
says that he understands that the sa-
up petition which will be sent to the
Chicago papers asking that the agency
be taken from him on this account.

KUSSMAUL, REFUSES
TO STAY IN RACE

Although every effort has been made
by the leaders of the democratic party
in Lake county to induce George Kuss-
maui the Hammond tobacco dealer who
was nominated for county treasurer to
retain his position on the county tick
ct. the attempts were fruitless and Mr..
kuSSmaul was not to be budged.
When the party leaders realized that
it was because of the delicate health OF
Mrs Kussmaul only that Mr.. Kussmaul
would not permit his name to rema in
on the ticket, they finally desisted and
the vacancy will in all probability be
filled by appointment.

Florence Johnson, a 15-year-old girl.
residing at 1915 Todd avenue, this
morning. The girl stood on Forsythe
avenue, near the Pennsylvania tracks,
awaiting the passing of a switch en-
gine. she having been on her way
home from the Mckinley school. The
autoists gave no warning of their

placed under arrest.

to be serious, although the first report
was to the effect that she had beSn

Thieves stole an entire camp on
the Kankakee river last Saturday and
as result Mr.. and Mrs. Z. P. Kuss Of
Gary and Mr.. and Mrs. Hobe Godfrey
Of Hammond were compelled to re-
turn to Hammond Monday and bring
to an untimely end a camping trip
that was expected to last several
weeks. The loss is estimated at sew
eral hundred dollars.
Never in the history of the river
has there been such a complete clean
out as was made by the thieves who
raided the Godfrey camp. Three
tents were taken down and carried
away, pushboat was stolen, the loot
included three shotguns, two rifles, a
revolver, the entire camping equip
ment, rubber boots, camping furni-
ture, mems clothes and everything
that could be carried away.

the most complete camping outfits that
have ever been seen on the river.

CANDIDATES
FOR ELEVEN
Hammond High School Pre-
sents Better Material for
Football Team Than in
Several Years-Will Be
Heavier Than Heretofore.

The first call for candidates for the
Hammond high school football team
was made this morning. 1t is under
stood that there is more material in
the school this year than there has been
in q number of years.
While the team lost large num-
Der of its oldest and best players last
year it is believed that this loss will be
more than compensated by the new
men who have signified their inten-
tion of trying for the team.
The team this year will be five
pounds heavier per man than 1t was
last and this is an encouraging feat
ure. The Hammond teams have always
been light and this has been one Of
Its most serious handicaps.
There was a meeting this afternoon
at 3 o'clock which the candidates for
the team attended and which was ar
ranged for the purpose of getting the
men together
VIII Begin Practice Soon.
1t is expected that the team will
begin the fall practice at an early date.
and that it will be quickly whipped
into shape The need of plenty OF
practice, with a green team to handle.
is recognized and this will be the pro-
gram.
A good schedule of games will be
arranged, and it is expected that the
season this year will be one of the
most successful the school has ever
had
The playing of the game is to be
under a rigid system of physical in
spection which will determine the
qualifications of the player to stand
the strain of the game.

SAYS A. NJ. TURNER
Complete Restoration of
Confidence Awaits Fall
Election.

A. NJ. Turner stated todap that busi-
ness conditions are very much inn
proved. He said there was a better
feeling among the bankers in Chica-
go. but that complete confidence would
not be restored until after the fall
elections and until the rate matter is
settled.
Mr.. Turner added that he believed the
administration of President Taft is rap
idly being vindicated in the eyes of
the people and that before his adminis-
tration is ended the people of the
United States would be convinced that
he is one of the most able presidents
the country ever had.

CAMPAIGN
Congressman E. D. Crum-
packer Will Fire Charge
Into Enemy's Camp at In
itial Republican Meeting
at Hobart Sept. 16.

The first republican meeting of the
campaign will be held in Hobart on
Sept 16 when Congressman E. d.
Crumpacker will make the principal
address.
This will in all probability be the
keynote speech of the campaign and
will be of great Importance for this
reason. The speech will be important
both locally and as a matter of state
interest.
Congressman Crumpacker is the dean
of the Indiana delegation and this will
make his utterances of almost national
significance. 1t is expected that his op-
ponent will take up the issues he
defines them and that the real cam
paign between Crumpacker and Peter
son will begin.
The republicans OF Lake County have
opened county headquarters in the
Holman block in Hammond County
Chairman F. Rihard Schaaf is moving
over his office furniture today, and il
is expected that these rooms will be
the center of interest during the next
sixty days.
Prepare For Fight.
The rooms are to be comfortably
furnished and will be the scene of all
VI the coiiIniltee meetings OF tBe COM
ing campaign. The rooms are large
and airy and the location is as good as
could be secured in the city.
There are other indications that an
important campaign is at hand and the
chances of this and that candidate are
being freely discussed The chicken
dinner which County Chairman Schaaf
gave to the republican editors and the
county candidates at Crown Point re-
suited II a number of important con-
ferences.
Never in the history of the party in
Lake county have the republicans felt
so elated over the prospects. They be-
lieve that the democrats have nominal
ed weak ticket and the prediction is
freely made that the republicans will
elect every man on their ticket

STEAL COMPLETE
CAMPING OUTFIT
Hammond and Gary party forced to
give up simple life when robbers
make away with paraphernalia

Saturday afternoon the entire party
went to Shelby in the motor boat for
the purpose of buying the supplies
which were to last them over Sunday.
When they returned they were arnaz-
ed to hnd that their camp had disap-
peared as completely as IL 1t had never
been constructed. There was, in fact,
nothing left but the site upon which
1t had been formerly located.
The women's clothes. and they had
taken enough to last them for several
weeks, were evidently of no use to the
thieves and so a bonfire had been start
ed and the clothes were destroyed.
The idea seemed TO be that nothing
should be left in camp that could be
carried away. It was seen that the
only thing left to do was to return to
Hammond and Gary and abandon the
camping trip.
BLAME RIVER RATS.
It Is believed that the theft was ac-
complished by some OF the river rats
who have been lettering about the
place. AS soon as the party left the
camp 1t is believed that the work OF
carrying it away was begun.
Sheriff Thomas Grant is to be notified
at once. but the thieves had such
good start that it is doubtful If the,
will ever be caught. L P. Kuss of Gar,
is one of the leading business men o
that city, and he is a loser to the ex
tent of several hundred dollars.
