BOWLING
FANS SEE
GOOD SPORT

Several hundred bowling fans, among
them a good sprinkling of ladies'. saw
the JaqueS K Young team practically
appropriate the first prize of the tour
nament and forced the Berghoffs, who
contended with them for the honor,
into a position where they will have
to fight to retain second place.
There were no records broken in
the contests last night. but for inter
est and excitement the games were un-
paralleled because both teams were tied
for first place. and after the contests
of last night each is to have but one
more opportunity to play before the
tournaments ends.
The Jaques & Youngs won the three
contests in one-two-three order win
ming respectively by SO. s4 and IL pins.
The rivalry between the two teams
was of the cleanest and sportsmanlike.
and bad split for a bowler brought
forth an expression of hope for bet
ter luck from the opposing team as
from the teammates. Without detract-
ing from the championship form of the
Jaques & Youngs it was readily to be
seen that the Berghoffs played in a
rather hard luck. The scores were as

ed to go to Chicago to secure employ
ment or would rest in idleness until they
reached the necessary age.
The compulsory educational law re-
quires only that a boy or girl may
be compelled to go to school until they
are ii years of age. It is a well known
fact that very few of the children of
the working classes go to school for a
longer period of time.
COMPELS IDLENESS.
The passage of the Keegan law
would result in four years of idleness
in the case of a great many girls and
two years of idleness in the case of a
great many boys. in which time they
would acquire bad habits, would be a
burden on their parents and would be
a menace to the community
The manufactures that would be af-
fected by the passage of this law are
the Standard Steel Car Co., whore a
larger number of rivet heaters are en-
ployed; the w B. Conkey Co.. where a
number of girls are employed in the
bindery and where boys are employed

LAKE SHORE
To MAKE
CHANGES

That the Lake Shore & Michigan
Southern railroad, one of the New York
Central lines in the west. has great
plans for the development of this To-
cality is indicated by the report that
the line is eventually to be double
tracked to the east
It is understood that the Lake
Shore company has nearly sufficient
land along its right of way for the
extension of the third and fourth
tracks and that the work will be
pushed as fast as track gangs can
take care of it. According to the ex-
PLANTATION of Mr.. Littleton, railroad at
torney, the present law does not
allow the company to take suffi-
cient width of ground for the four
tracks, so the bill was prepared which
is now before the legislature.
The Lake Shore four tracks now
extend from Goshen to a point west
of Osceola, and from Laporte through
to Durham, and again between Pine
and South Chicago. other sections are
two and three track. with a number
of passing tracks.

Groath's story, he was provoked by the
negro and did nothing more to him
than to merely push him into the gut
ter. There being evidence to the
contrary and no police record against
Groath. Judge Ames let him off az cas-
lily possible Groath, however, is
said to have taken the whole credit for
the dirty work in private conversation.
The fact that he with Morris
Croak at the time of the slugglug is
evidence enough in public opinion that
he is training with Morris Croak and
his gang. In last nights TIMES it was
stated. through typographical error.
that Groath struck the blow when, ac-
cording to the testimony introduced at
the trial Groath slammed the negro into
the gutter.
Groath's sense of chivalry and gentiI-
ity seemed to have been deeply wound
ed yesterday because he was dumped
into the city bastiie like any ordinary
cowardly slugger unable to give bond
He gave it as his opinion to Judge
Ames that the constable might at least
have had the decency to take him to
his home and guard him there until
the time of his trial and not humiliate
him by incarcerating him.
The smuggling of the negro and the
arrest and fine of Groath has stirred
up public sentiment anew against the
street loafers, hoodiums, guttersnipes
and near-prize fighters who stand at
the street corners filing the air with
their vile and cheap talk and insults
for passersby

daring stop of a runaway horse last

NO SWEATSHOPS HERE.
Those who are impartial and have
made something of an investigation OF
child labor conditions here state that
there are few communities in the Unit
ed States. where boys and girls are
employed under such favorable cir
cumstances. Light, air and ventila-
ton are always good and conditions
are hundred times better than they
are in Chicago. where the Hammond
boys and girls would be forced to seek
employment If the Keegan bill passes.
The Keegan bill is declared by the
Hammond manufacturers and business
men TO be a vicious blow at the in
dustries of the northern part of the
state of Indiana. 1t is along the line
of the bill which was directed at the
Indiana steel company and which most
Lake county people believed is moth
ing more than a hold-up measure.
The Hammond business men and
manufacturers declare that if there
of the child labor law there might be
some necessity for making 1T more
strict. but conditions in Lake county.
which is destined to be the greatest
industrial center in tho state of In
diana. providing the industries of this
section are not legislated out of the
state. are better than they are any
other part of the country.
POPULATION DETERRENT.
The population of Hammond. East
Chicago and Gary is composed largely
of foreigners. The children of foreign
parents are compelled to go to school
until they are IA years old. Then the
parents take them out of school to save
the expense. If for other reason.
Under present conditions these for
eign children are saved from idleness.
and the vicious and criminal habits
that idleness develops by the fact that
they are employed at clean and con-
genial work. They cease to be nom
producers and become producers.
That accounts for the fact that in
times of great industrial activity the
people are law-abiding and happy
while in hard times lawlessness is pre-
valent in all foreign communities.
And the down-sfate legislators, who
know nothing OF conditions in a city
like Hammond, East Chicago Gary OF
South Bend, proceed to enact legisla-
ton in the interests" of the laboring
classes when in fact 1t Is not in their
interests in a community where child
! labor Is regulated by men of the cali
Der of the Hammond manufacturers
when in fact it is crime to permit
| children between the ages Of 1e and Is
| to go without employment
The manufacturers and business mer
of Hammond are thoroughly aroused
over the matter and will take steps al
once to prevent the passage of the bill
in the senate.
