A. MULFORD ELLIS
FUNERAL TODAY
Remains of Pioneer Settler
Shipped to Hobart, Ind,
For Interment.

The funeral of A. milford Ellis, who
settled in South Chicago forty years
ago, was a pioneer in the local express
ing business and accumulated consider
able local property. took place at noon
today from his late residence, Ninety
fifth street and Commercial avenue, to
the Mas sonic hall, Ninety-first and Ex-
change avenue, where services were
held. Interment was at Hobart. Ind.
The deceased was born In Mt. Yer
non, Ohio, sixty-two years ago. He
came to South Chicago in 1871 and was
one of the first expressmen in the town
of Ainsworth He continued at that
occupation for many years, until Ill
health forced his retirement.
For years he has suffered from heart
and liver trouble, but nevertheless his
death last Tuesday came as a great
surprise to everyone, as they had for
some time been under the impression
that he was recovering. He is sur
vived by his wife and one son, Earl
Ellis.
A. Milford Ellis was extensively ac-
quainted throughout South Chicago;
he bore an excellent reputation and in
the earlier days was quite actively in
terested in South Chicago affairs His

LAW BENEFITS
new TEACHERS
College Training No Longer
Salary Basis For Peda-
gogues Hired.
EXPERIENCE ONLY ELEMENT
Superintendent Believes It VIII In
crease Supply Of In
structors.

Although few peole are aware of the
fact yet 1t is true that the last legisla-
ture boosted the salaries of country and
city school teachers last winter and the
requirements are not as strict as they
were under the former law The sal
airy is almost wholly based on the ex
perience of the teacher now and the
classification based upon college pre-
paration is wiped out.
The former law placed the teachers
in different classes and each class had
salary basis Independent of the
other No one could secure a license
without training In pedagogical work
and the per diem was then two and
a half times the general scholarship
average secured while doing the spec
ial training work In college. In the
next class, where teachers had had
some experience and could show re-
cord of several terms in training
schools of the required standard, the
pay was three times the general aver
age.
This college training clause has now
been wiped out The only force 1t
might have is to stimulate teachers to
go on with their training work and
raise their average scholarship grade
y
based almost entirely upon these fig
ures.
The new law amends the former law
and strikes out the training school re-
quirement. 1t says in part: The daily
wages of teachers for teaching in pub
lie schools of the state shall not be less.
in the case of beginning teachers. than
an amount determined by multiplying
two and one-half cents by the general
average given such teacher in his
highest grade of license at the time of
contracting.
This makes but little difference with
the beginning teacher, because the for
mer law requires that the beginner
must have a certain training in a stand
ard school for such purposes before he
| can be granted a license.
The next part of the law. however
| changes matters considerably for those
who have managed to get into the
realm of teachers for at least six
months. 1t says, For teachers having
| had a successful experience for one
school year of not less than six months
| the daily wages shall not be less than
| the amount determined by multiplying
] three cents by the general average
given such teacher on. his highest grade
OF license at the time of contracting

COUNCIL EXPECTED TO
take INITIAL ACTION
People of Gary Would Like
Much to See City Mar

1t is more than probable that the
city council will take initial action on
the ordinance establishing the Gary
public market at the regular meeting
to be held Monday night
Advocates of the public market are
gaining in numbers and successful
operations of the recently established
markets as Des Moines and South Bend
have attracted much interest in Gary.
In both places prices of foodstuffs have
been materially reduced

START OF
LIBRARY
FOR OCT. |
Library Board of Gary
Holds Meeting; Other I'm
posing Public Buildings
Will Be Erected Within
the Coming IL Months.

October first will see the beginning
of construction on Gary's $4,000 Car
negie library number one. This much
was decided at the library board meet
ing yesterday afternoon in the Vic
toria hotel. The board also engaged
a local architect. J. ]. verplank. to act
as building inspector and superinrend-
ent OF construction.
In n Good Location.
The question of changing the frame
work of the building from wood to
steel thereby giving a steel fire-proof
construction instead of a stone-wood
or mill construction was considered
but the plans and specifications will
be used as they now stand. Ironmaster
Carnegie has given $4,000 towards the
construction of the Gary library and
the estimated cost OF the building will
be $4,000.
1t will be located at Fifth avenue
and Adams street opposite the $3.50
900 Y. NJ. c. A building now nearing
completion. other imposing buildings
to be erected nearby include the 1928
600 United States government building
and the 500, 900 opera house. a site for
which has been secured by Klaw and

verplank To Get Fees.
Plans for the library were prepared
by Architect Henry d. Whitfield of
New York, Mr.. Carnegie's brother in
law. j. j. verplank. the local arehi-
tect. will be construction inspector. His
fees will be two per cent of the cost
or in the neighborhood OF $3.50.
Library Moving Today.
Today the temporary library is be-
ing moved from the Kahan building in
Seventh avenue to the Wilson block in
Washington street near Sixth avenue
The new temporary location will give
four times the space that the old build
ing did. So perfect IS the library ma :
chinery that books may be obtained
this afternoon.
The librarian has returned from
u -as-vrI state lecture tour. he having
visited Rfchmand. Indianapolis and
other cities.
Rev. Father Thomas r. Jansen is
president of the library board which
has a membership of seven.

POLICE HAVE NEW
THEORY ON FIRE
Quiz Employees and Proprie-
tor of Restaurant Where
Explosion Occurred.

The Gary police still believe that
other causes than accidental ones pro-
duced the explosion and fire that
wrecked the building at 622 Broadway
early Tuesday morning. A theory that
the blast and blaze are of incendiary
origin is now being prosecuted.
A few days ago William Carey. night
chef. who was blown through the r-ai
door of the Baltimore restaurant when
the blast occurred. was sweated by de-
tectives but he seems to throw no light
on the mystery. Yesterday George
Weaver. proprietor of the restaurant
appeared before the police and gave his
side of the story.
On the morning of the fire Weaver
told a TIMES reporter that the blaze
was not an accidental one and that to
his belief unknown persons perpetrat-
ed the outrage Fire Chief Feeley still
holds to the theory that the blast could
have been produced by gasoline. nitro
glycerine or dynamite.
1t Is said that the police have several
important threads to work on and
some sensations may develop as a re-
suit.

and markers in the shape of tin pals
and pieces of board were set up for the
outline OF the arena. The ring side
sports had to hold to ropes Goodman
and Roberts stood in their respective
corners. waiting for the word to mix.
Everybody realized that interference
might stop the bout from going TWEEN
ty- five rounds, and the battlers were
eager to finish each other In short ord
er. They mixed willingly and the four
rounds that the game lasted were fast
and furious.
POLICE GET TIP.
Just about the time the first round
opened. the Hammond police received
tip from a Burnham woman over the
telephone saying that the fighters had
invaded Indiana Four policeman were
sent out with instructions to hurry.
They were spotted by the .lookouts'
before they were near the ring.
Police" shouted some one The
pickering gasoline torch light was re-
Elected on the big stars on the breasts
of the officers. Goldman and Roberts
saw the light and running they
were dressed. The police rounded about
twenty five of the sports but the prin-
cipals got away, and these being the
ones the police were after. they sent
the fellows who they had rounded W
after them.
LOSE THEIR CLOTHES.
Some of the sports already had q
good start toward Burnham where the
cars awaited them, but they lost thei'
way. and like sheep they followed tbs
leader. into a big swamp which tc
them seemed endless. They foundered
around in it unable to see. From the
swamp they emerged into the under
brush. and the midnight hour was
passed when the last tired fight far
crawled up the steps of the waiting
South Shore car and "hopped" himseli
in to a seat. tired and disguised.
In their hurry to get away, the sec.
onds forgot to take either Goodman OF
Roberts forgot to take their belong
ings and as a result, the police picked
up three suit cases containing wearing
apparel and fighting accoutrements ant
paraphernalia of the fighters

have been the promoter guided the
sports across the Indiana state line.
They walked for nearly two miles,
through underbruish. over ridges AMI
through swales cursing their luck and
denouncing the powers that be that
brought such hardships for the game.
RIFF-RAFF OF THE GAME.
Most of the sports were composed of
the usual following of the game, pro-
moters pugs. seconds. a few real
sports, and the other cheap riff-ra n,
which never earns an honest dollar.
Among them were old timers who re-
membered the days twenty five years
ago when they came to Hammond and
its vicinity to see the bare knuckle
fights, cock and dog fights. and they
chided the younger element for their
impatience and dissatisfaction.
The promise of a bloody contest be-
tween two old rivals who were said 70
nurse a deep-seated grudge against
each other cheered the sports Oh their
wearisome way. The mixers were d.
vided into two groups. Goodman being
the center of one. Roberts the center OF
| the other.
