CONGREGATIONAL social Union

Mr.. and Mrs. w. e. Hall opened
their home at 30T Michigan avenue
to the members of the Congregation
al Social Union and friends Tuesday
evening. The house was handsome
ly decorated with hawthorn blossoms
lilacs and other spring flowers,
making 1t picture of beauty.
The principal feature of the eve
ming was an interesting program
which consisted of instrumental and
vocal music, readings, etc. Mrs.
Daniel Shepardson, Jr., gave clever
and instructive talk on "The Orient"
She was gowned in an oriental cos
tune.
Following the program dainty re-
freshments, consisting of summer
delicacies, were served. There were
fifty-five people in attendance.

GARY BUSINESS MEN ANGRY
Granting Of Fifty-Year Franchise for
Street Railways 10 the Cause.

Gary, Ind, May 17.-Business men
of Gary, and especially members of the
Commercial club are in arms because
the city council majority after a long
and stormy session, ratified a fifty
year franchise, granting traction
rights to Charles H. Geist, the Phil
adelphia gas magnate, and his Calumet
United Railways company. Further
feeling was created when it was
learned that Mayor Knouts. instead of
exercising his veto, signed the fran
chise ordinance, and as a result inves-
legations and probable impeachment
proceedings are limited at.
The franchise gives Geist fifty
year right to use the streets of Gary.
The lack of provision for universal
transfers, the permission to charge a
straight nickel fare, the use of nearly
all the streets and the lack of for
fixture clause for failure to comply
with the terms of the grant are bitter
ly assailed.

CONVICT SWITCH
STAYS In HIDING
Posse After Long Search Fails to
Trace Man Fleeing from
Anamosa.
GUARD HAMAKER MAY RECOVER
Says Member of the Rescue Party
Who shot Him il Brother of
smitch and Formerly
Convict Himself.

ANAMOSA, Ia. Aug. IA persistent
search which had been carried on all night
by the penitentiary wardens this morning.
had failed to disclose the hiding place of
Charles Smitch and a man supposed to be
his brother. Smitch Is the convict who es-
capped from Prison Guard Hamaker yester-
day afternoon after the latter was shot
and tied to a tree about a mile from the
penitentiary.
Smitch and his companions stole two
horses near Springfield last night. The ami
mails were found today two miles from
Marion. 1t is believed the men are still
hiding in the woods near here. A report
from Cedar Rapids says that Hamaker.
who Is in a hospital there, may recover.
The convict's brother attacked Hamaker
while he was more than mile away from
the prison alone with Smitch. Early to-
day while Smitch was working in a stone
quarry two miles from the prison, some
one telephoned the warden's office and
asked permission TO see the convict The
request was granted and Hum&ker was
ordered to bring the prisoner 10 the war
den's office.
Half way to the prison Hamaker was
confronted by the brother. Before the
guard could draw a revolver he was shot.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Ia. Aug. u.-Prison
Guard A. Hamaker, who was shot today
by an escaped convict was able to swear
to a statement this evening just before he
submitted to an operation. The wounded
man said that the prisoners brother, who
assisted him to escape, was an ex-convict
who recently visited the penitentiary. This
man, Humaker said, was waiting behind a
big boulder between the quarry and the
penitentiary. He commanded Humaker to
throw up his hands. Seeing that Hamaker
was reaching for his gun, the desperate
shot but missed, and Humaker in turn
fired, but missed. Smitch's brother then
shot the second time and Hamaker fell
The Smitch brothers then dragged the
guard down a fifty-foot embankment TO
the buggy. The convict changed his prison
garb for a suit his brother had provided
Both then dragged Hamaker several hun
dred feet into the woods. where they tied
him to q tree and gagged him, threatening

After they had gotten out OF hearing
Hamaker got the gag out of his mouth and
called until he attracted the attention OF
two boys, who helped him to the nearest
farm house.
The desperadoes drove several miles in
the buggy. but finally left it in deserted
lime kiln and took to the woods.
