SOME WARM GAMES
ARE NOW EXPECTED
Whiting, Hammond, Gary
and East Chicago Out
After Scalps.

When Hammond lines UP against
Whiting at the Whiting park Sunday
afternoon there will likely be a fast
and hard fought game, as Hammond is
going after Manager Helms warriors
scalps in order that they will be able
to do battle with Gary for first honors
On the reverse Helms boys will try
equally as hard to do the same thing
as at present they have a bunch that
they will be able to slip one over their
old rivals.
Just who will be seen on the mound
for Hammond Is not known but 1t will
either be Bergman or Tietz who will be
there when 1t comes to handing out
those teasers so why should we worry.
Writings battery is also being held
back until Sunday. as 1t is being nois-
twfrler.
showing so far this season, betting
they have greatly strengthened their
team and instead of taking another
slump. they should spring a surprise
on the local fans and begin the upward
stride.
Gary still holds the lead by two
games and should they lose to Crown
Point Sunday and Hammond win from
Whiting. there will be another tie fol
first hbnors.
| Tomorrow afternoon Hammond will
take on East Chicago at the H. A. A
park and 1t hoped that a large GROVE

PURTE[[E

Rensselaer,, Ind. June It'll ].
Wilson, of Chicago. who was here sew
eral weeks ago with Eugene Purtelle
investigating the latters interurban
proposition for Chicago and Indiana
capitalists. arrived here again We'd
nesday to look up matters of the road.
Mr.. Wilson is civil engineer and has
been connected with the construction
of several interurban and steam roads.
He and another party constructed the
four miles of grade of the Purtelle
road in Lake county. for which they
never received their pay.
The capitalists whom he represents
are willing to undertake the building
of the road if Purtelle's debts are got
out of the way and Mr.. Wilson is now
engaged in looking up the claims. OF
which Purtelle has furnished him a
list from memory and such data as he
has at hand. They schedule s17,500 as
far reported. This includes bills
. for supplies. construction work, at
torney's fees. borrowed money. over
drafts at banks etc, and every town
the proposed line has it's quota of
creditors. The largest claims how
ever. in Chicago. The plan is to
have the creditors agree TO place their
claims in escrow with a trust company
to be paid later. All the creditors ex-
cept two. in Rensselaer,. who are now
out of the city and cannot be seen
have agreed to this plan, and 1t Is
thought they will be willing to do SO
The matter OF claims must be clear
ed up by July Is. the date set for be-
ginning construction. II the matter
goes through.
The papers have already been signed
by which Purtelle valves. control OF
the company, and from now on he Is
not to be considered in the affairs OF
the road at all. except in the final ad-
justment he will be paid in cash what
ever may be due him.
The prospects now look excellent fol

next month will decide the matter ons

bound rtains, to one side, on account of
not wishing to tear up the paving and
replacing it. Now that other railroad
companies have been granted the right
to lay tracks in Chicago avenue be-
tween these points. IL behooves the
South Shore to get its tracks in the
right place to avoid possible complica-
tions later on. The present eastbound
track will therefore be torn up and a
new one laid to the north of the track
now used asawest bound track. The
latter will. after the change is made,
be used by eastbound trains and the
new one by those westbound.

gated the title to the land at Tallu-

their opinions in writing that, upon
proper suit being brought, the State

The opinions from these lawyers

II you will go around to the Capitol

you these opinions over the personal

There are other eminent lawyers
both of Georgia and other States OF

tons that the State of Georgia could
recover this land. I have opinions
from them en- file in my Office. I
do not know whether you consider

Senator Bacon recently tele-
graphed from Washington to Hon.
Thos. E. Watson, that Mr.. Hitch
cock, Postmaster General. knew
nothing whatever of Mr.. Watson's
arrest and prosecution! Then by
whose authority was it done? What
right has Federal Judge to issue
warrants of arrest for any one, &C
cused of violation Of a Federal law
except through it's proper official
channel? No subordinate postal
officer can be arrested for such vio-
lations except by special warrant
from Washington.
Neither has a local Federal Judge
right to have a private citizen ar
rested except by order of his depart
mental officer.
But the whole outrage can be ac-
counted for. The facts are, that
Roman Catholics are organized in
these United States and everywhere
else. They have a secret order here

are being well drilled in soldiery
and war tactics
They have ammunition and rifles
stored in the easements of their
churches and monastaries. They are
sworn under most damnable oath
to burn, kill, rip open women and
children, and openly or secretly to
exterminate all Protestants when
ever Jesus Christ" (the Pope) says
so. Now here is the secret. There
are about ten million of those
Dagoes and trash in the United
States.
They can poll about e-seventh

down, therefore when these schem-
ing knights" come with a PROPOSE
ton of votes, these many of our
nations leaders and officials become
traitors! They would issue warrants
to imprison brother American, one
of Georgia's greatest political re-
formers and patriots, one who
spends sleepless nights planning and
writing for the freedom of this
nation and of unborn generations.
Hon. Thos E. Watson is always on
the watch tower to tell this sleeping
nation what the signs of promise
are; to expose graft, treachery and
intrigue, frauds and black earted
politicians He has been exposing
some obscene language used in the
Catholic confession private rooms,
words too vile to be spoken else
where, words spoken alone to mems
wives and daughters, who alas, be-
lieve that the bloated priest has that
right. This case of Watson will De

N EAR SIR: Referring to some
articles recently published in
liz the Macon Telegraph, l wish
to make the following state
ment:
The piece over my name is an alb
stract from a letter l wrote to
friend. l am away from home and
get mail irregularly, therefore, 1
did not know that the friend to
whom | had written this letter had
had it published or that you had
favored my article with reply, until
/ received both articles by mail this
morning
[ want to state to you in advance
that the object of this letter is not
to apologize for my article, neither
do | intend to 'go way back and sit
down" as you suggested that l do,
in your article in the Macon Tele-
graph
In your reply to my article you
attack it on only one ground, name
ly, that I say that the grants to the
land as Tallulah gave the bounda-
ries of the land "as shown by the
survey" | admit that it was a typo
graphical error to put the words 'as
shown by the survey in quotations.
But, as you are lawyer, I presume
that you know that a plat is a dia-
gram showing the lines of the sur
vey. These grants refer to a plat
attached to the grant. AS these
plats are diagrams of a survey, the
grant necessarily refers to survey.
l presume the reason why you
did not attack my article on it's
merits was because you had no
grounds to do so. I suppose you
have been a corporation lawyer so
long that your arguments are such
as are used by practitioners of your
class whenever they are on the los
ing side of case. 1t has been my
experience that whenever a corpora
ton lawyer has no case, but is try
ing to keep some litigant from get
ting his just rights, he uses such
arguments as you use in reply to my
article, and tries to win his case on
some trivial technically such as the
difference between grant referring
to plat and one referring to a sur
vey.
You accuse me in your article of
misstating facts, do not accuse you
of misstating facts, but Of telling
willful lies. In your article you say
that title to these lands has been
investigated by three able Cover
nors and by the Attorney-GeneraI of
Georgia, leach of whom has stated
publicly that he was hunting for
some reasonable excuse to justify a
suit to recover these lands" This
statement is absolutely false. This
case was investigated by one Cover
nor and the Attorney-General The
investigation before Governors Smith
and SlatOn was merely to see wheth-
er the Governor would order a sur
vey of this land to see whether or
not the Georgia Railway and Power
Company was trying to steal the
land of Tallulah as charged against
them by the members of the Tai
lulah Falls Conservation and Park
ing Association. You, as counsel
for the corporation, used every effort
