Why Delaware is making such a
fight againt a statewide boulevard,
which Mr.. T. Coleman dupont offers
to build is not clear, says the Balti-
more American. 1t is clear, how
ever that Mr.. DUPONT is growing
indignant at the court fight which is
being made against his great project
He has just declared: elf the peo-
pie of Delaware don't want the boule-
ward, will probably give it to Mary
land" Maryland would certainly
welcome such a gift from Mr.. DUPONT
or from any other millionaire, let him
reside where he will. 1t will guar
antee not to put any obstacle, legal or
otherwise, in the way of the
construction. If there is anything in
the good roads line Maryland would
like to get tits a statewide boulevard,
running from the Delaware line to
Baltimore, then through to Washing
ton. 1t will get its fine road from
the city to the national capital some
day, all hope, but its plans to the
eastward are still mighty hazy. What
a blessing it would be if such man
as Mr.. DUPONT would come forward
and say: l will build it and it would
not cost Maryland dollar. Would
Maryland accept it? Just try it, Mr..
dupont, and see. Maryland has been
V<huilding some good roads, some not so
good. Governor Goldsborough found
things in pretty rocky shape when he
took up the task of road building as
part of his work as Maryland's 5 chief
executive. Funds were low and the
system of construction had not brought
about satisfactory results. He is
doing the best he can, but Maryland
keeps far behind other states in good
highways. Anything that will help
in that direction would be a blessing.
And statewide boulevard Why, if
Colonel dupont will build it, Maryland
will make him one of her most honored
citizens, hail him as true benefactor. -

How queerly things can work out
when they really try is shown in
dispatch from Chicago which says
that the heirs of the late DR.. D. K.
Pearson are now contending for the
remnant of his once enormous fortune,
says the New York Times. In his
lifetime DR.. Pearson gave away,
mostly to the small colleges that are
viewed askance by many rich benefac-
tors of educational institutions, some
thing like 81, 10000, and it was his
long announced intention to die pen
niless. 1t was supposed that he had
accomplished that unusual purpose
and achieved that far from unusual
end; but it seems that when he died
he was still worth" about S4, 900,
which is for the vast majority of
mankind enviable wealth. impossible
of attainment, but desperate poverty,
of course, for a millionaire. One
niece claims the whole of the $4, 900
on the ground that DR.. Pearson had
promised to leave her much larger
sum; but several other nieces and
some nephews deny that she earned
the legacy by living with DIR. Pearson
as housekeeper and companion, and
insist that the money be divided be-
tween them all. 1t is a family
squabble of the kind only too familiar
and as the nephews and nieces thinl
$4,000 worth fighting for, one cal
easily imagine the vivacity of tn
battle they would have carried on 70
the good Doctors estate, had he no
taken thought Of its distribution dun
ing his own life.

for currency without impairing their
reserves. 1t is against the law to cut
the percentage of reserves below the
legal limit. The banks must. there
fore, curtail loans, however well Sc
cured, in order to keep their reserves
intact and supply the currency abso-
lutely necessary to move the crops.
New wealth in the form of crops,
instead of stimulating business, chokes
it. The country's credit system is
inelastic. Must there be another
panic to impress on lawmakers the
urgent necessity of reforming the
banking system?
Smyrna times., 1912-10-02

In the death of Walter H. Hayes,
esq.,, of Wilmington, the state has
lost one of its legal giants and the
Bar one of its highly esteemed and most
respected members. Mr.. Hayes knew
the law and delved deep into Delaware
records. That his life should have
been snuffed out in his prime, is deep
ly regretted and mourned.

mill at the shops which makes

to come down on Mr.. Riley's

Realizing this the judges who are
affected by this situation naturally do
not want any opposition to their cleo
ton next fall.
It is understood that they would like
TO have the Lake County Bar Associa-
ton come out fiat footed against the
nomination of any candidates in oppo-
sition to the judges already in office.
Then the names of Judge Virgil s.
Reiter, Judge Lawrence Becker and
Judge Johannes Koelke would be the
only names on the ticket for these re-
sective Offices.
Their election would be matter of
course and they would have the right
10 hold office for four years longer in
stead of standing for reelection this
fall or taking their chances on having
their right to hold Office for two years
longer under the act of the Legislature
challenged on the grounds of the I'M
constitutionaIity of the act
So thekneetfng of the bar association
on Monday is to be called for the pur-
pose of having II go on record as being
opposed to the nomination on either
ticket of any candidates for judicial
honors other than those no are now
serving
to such a bipartisan compromise. The
republicans think that with two other
strong men on the ticket along with
Judge Reiter would help the ticket a
great deal both in a financial and a
moral way.
They say, looking at the matter from
purely partisan manner that Cover
nor Marshall did not make non-par-
tisan appointments when he filled the
two new judgeships with democrats.
Then too there are lawyers all over
the county who are ambitious to wear
the judicial ermine. Attorney George
Manlove of Gary is one and there are
a number of democrats who would like
to make the race for the judgeship.
Now that the real object Of the meet
ing of the bar association is known i,
is believed that there will be large
attendance next Monday ard that there
will be some interestin gdiscussions be-
fore the meeting is over.
1t is known that for the past four o.
fTe weeks prominent attorneys at the
bar have been called for the purpose O.
talking over the matter. The advice o.
others has not been sought 1t wa,
these who tipped off the fact that ths
real purpose OF the meeting was no
explained in the call.

GARY GIVES
CONTROL PLAN

Washington, Feb. Pc II. Gary OF
the United States Steel corporation has
prepared and sent to the senate com
mittee on interstate and foreign COM
merce a bill celebrating in detail his
suggestions for the control of inter
state industrial corporations.
Like Mr.. Cummins. Mr.. Gary advo-
Gates the establishment of board to
supervise the great industrial corpo-
rations. This board, to be known as
the corporation commission, he would
empower not only to prevent combina-
tions in restraint of trade. but to stop
such practices as cut-throat competi-
ton that tends to create the conditions
from which combinations in restraint
of trade subsequently arise. He would
have the DEGREES of the commission
subject to federal court review. The
commission. he says. should have jur-
isdietion over all interstate corpora
lions. other than common carriers. hav-
ing a capitalization of $1o,o0o.000 or
more.

HAVE A LITTLE GOLD
MINE OF YOUR OWN

Rich men are not the only one who
can put their money where it will bring
big interest. Any man of moderate
means who watches his chance in Can
ada can invest a small saving each
month with the same certainty of
golden returns as If he were a mil
lionaire.
Chances to double and triple your
money in Canada are bobbing up all
the time. Just watch the new railroads
and you'll soon find your opportunity.

SMALL HOUSE SEES
f. CHICAGO GRAPPlERS
Main Event Is Not Staged
Berause of Poor
Attendance.

But small crowd attended the ex-
cellent wrestling exhibitions at the
Lewis skating ring last night. and It
was again demonstrated that wrestling
does not make a hit with the sport
fans of Lake county. No better card
could have been arranged. as Promoter
Joe Simpson did everything in his pow
or to make the program success. but
the public refused 10 attend.
On account of the small house it was
found impossible 10 stage the main
match between Charley Kid Cutler and
Frank Sworcina. who challenged Cut
Ter last week after his battle with the
Bohemian. Instead of the main match
two East Chicago grappiers, John Mus
tfvey and Walter Lula. appeared on the
mat and instead of proving themselves
couple OF amateurs they demonstrat-
ed tha. they knew something about the
game and made Quit hit with the fans.
Nustivex had little the better of his
man and won the first and only fall in
two minutes.
Young Hackenscbmidt and Vincent
Nelsuch appeared in the curtain raiser
and gave the audience a fast exhibition
of scientific wrestling. Hackenschmidt
again proved himself an artist at the
game and took both falls in 1s min
utes and a. seconds. The first wa.
gained in IA minutes by a head lock
and reverse Nelson and the second in
. minutes As seconds with a body and
leg hold.
In the windup Joe Thomas appeared
too much for Battling Reilly, winning
two falls in . minutes. Reilly did not
have much of a chance with his man
and at no time was Thomas IN serious
danger. The frst fall was made by a
crotch and half Nelson in 6 minutes. the
second by the same in minutes.
Frank Ryan the new 205 pound white
hope was introduced from the ringside
and from all appearances Ryan is there
with the goods. His former home was
in Dubuque, Ia. and during the past
six months has been staying in East
Chicago where he is in the training
hands of Manager Joe Simpson. Ryan
will be matched to go against Al Palzer
in a short time.
Commencing Monday Manager Joe
Simpson will start Juvenile boxins
school at the Lewis skating rink anc
the gymnasium will be given free to
the lads that want to use it.
1t was also announced last night that
the first of series of boxing exhibit
lions viii be stayed next Friday. March
1st. A good card is being arranged and
among the contestants VIII be seen
Jimmy Walsh of Englewood and Frank
Burns of New York. The bouts are te
be staged in a quiet manner and nc
