Ice Menaced Lifeboats.

Danger still confronted even thost
who were so fortunate as to be pu
aboard the lifebOats. Huge quantities
of field ice covered the ocean, a wire
less dispatch says, and in the darkness
the crews had to guide their boats
with the greatest care to prevent be
ing jammed and overturned. The ice
was so heavy that the lifeboats couli
not force their way through it, and as
a result the boats became widely SIP
arated
The air was biting cold, and the
chill that rose from the ice foes
caused the passengers to hover close
together to keep warm. All through
the night the lifeboats bobbed hep
lessly between the shifting cakes Of
ice, while the survivors prayed for the
dawn to come.
Shortly after o'clock the sinking
Titanic made her great dive into the
sea, carrying with her hundreds of per.
sons to death.
Daylight came and with it arrived
the Cunard liner Carpathia, which
found only the score of lifeboats filed
with crew and passengers floating
helplessly about the vicinity where
the Titanic had passed under the
waves.
First reports were that the Car
pathia had saved but CTS persons. The
new figures reduced the list of thos,
for whose fate fear was felt by nearly
200, and If, as seems probable, practI
cally all those saved were passenger.
it would appear that all but approx |
mately $50 of the vessels passengers
are accounted for. A partial list Of
the survivors received from the Car
pathia includes the names of many
women Of prominence who were on
the steamer.

J. M. TURNER
INVITED TO PLAY

An all Indiana team of checker play
ers has been made up to play an all
Ohio team by mail.
J. NJ Turner. one of the Hammond
checker Sharks" had invitation to
join, but lack of time prevented him
from accepting.
The Hammond checker players will
watch the outcome of the tournament
with interest.
Each player keeps his boards spread
with the games he has on hand. When
move Is made a postal card is sent
to the opponent and when he makes a
move he replies. The moves are all
conferred to the opponents by numbers
corresponding to numbers on the
boards and with which all scientific
checker players are acquainted. 1t is
planned that each player shall play
four games with each OF his ten oppOt
nents. keeping two games going at a
time. 1t will probably take two months
to complete the series.

posed to the purchase of the site.
Candidates ON Hand.
Councilman Cotton called the atten-
ton of the board to dangerous condi-

tors should however not blame him
for having to spend an additional
twenty five dollars for lawyers fee. he
said that he himself would pay an at
torney out of his pocket to appear for
him. as he could not go to Crown
Point until his Superior Court case
was finished. This morning Mr.. Gavit
said that he had made arrangements
with Attorney Otto Bruce at Crown
Point to take his place.
Status of Jahnke Case Asked.
When this matter had been thrash
ed out, John Kane asked for the status
of the Jahnke personal injury case for
which the city was held liable for ten
thousand dollars. Mr.. Gavit explain
ed that the case was begun before he
became city attorney. but that during
his term of office the city had asked
for new trial which had been refus-
ed in the supreme court. He said the
question now is, whether the B. & o. C.
T. T. railroad. which bought the
Calumet Transfer property after the
latter had gone into the hands of re-
ceivers could be held for the torts of
the bankrupt line before the company
went into receivers hands
A resolution was adopted nstructing
the city attorney to investigate this
question without delay.
More Lock Shipping.

, plating the lock which he had shipped
from Gavits scalp, John Kane at
tempted to administer the tonsure to
John Rohde and the board of public
works

CI.ABBYS MAINTAIN
LEAD IN LEAGUE

The c. Longs, who hail from Saylor
Longs cigar store Holman street,
climbed three notehes higher in the
Hammond bowling league last night by
defeating the crack Clabbys three
straight games. The Clabbys still main
tain the lead by a small margin. but
with the class the C. Longs are show
ing 1t looks like they will pass the top
notchers within very short time.
The series last night brought out a
large crowd of followers who took in
one of the most interesting and close
three game series that has been rolled
in long while. The truth of the story
is that the Clabbys were a little out of
form and were gone just one better
when the c. Longs nosed them out of
every game. Although some good pin
work was done, not one scored a two
hundred mark. which shows that the
dodo artists were rolling a little below

1t was very carefully tried. From time
to time the attorneys in other courts
would drop In to hear the fireworks.
The case was not so very important
1t involved stabbing affair from
which the victim recovered. The state
contented itself with proving the as
sault while the defense claimed that
Spazato had been making advances to-
wards De Nicholas wife.
The trial of the case has lasted for
practically an entire week. The case
has attracted attention because of the
fierceness of the legal fight. 1t is be-
lieved that the clever work OF the de-
Tense in supplying a motive for the
stabbing and making the circum-
stances seem extenuating was what
brought about the verdict.

and retained their own attorney to
represent them specially at the hear
ing at Crown Point. Judge McMahan
began the hearing of the petition yes
terday. and the case is expected to
end this noon. Col LeGrand T. Meyer
has been retained by the property
owners and John A. Gavit is looked
to by the city at large to watch the
city's ifNn1est in the case.
Rohde Prods Gavit.
But Gavit was not at Crown Point
yesterday. and that very fact gave
John Rhode and opportunity to tell
him In open council meeting that he
thought the city attorney should be
on the job, and that furthermore the
demonstrators were complaining be-
cause they would have to hire at
torney for matters which should be
cared for by the city attorney. The
question of the city attorneys interest
in the case was originally raised by
councilman Nicholas Lauer.
From the various explanations made
last night. 1t appears that the re-
monstrators had retained Col. Meyer
for one day. and that they were to
pay him an additional twenty-five dol
lars, if it should become necessary for
him to spend a second day at Crown
Point. Their complaint was that be
cause OF the absence of the city attor-
ney, they would have to dig down
for another twenty-five dollars today
In explanation John Gavit said, that
he Is engaged in a cases in the super
Tor court which would not end until
this noon, and that in as much as At
torney Meyer was anxious to proceed
with his case the day for which il
was set. which was yesterday, he

to proceed because his clients inter

the Republican nomination for presi-

that he will be nominated at Chicago
on the first ballot. OF the 416 dele

chosen, 273 have been instructed for
the president, 35 for Roosevelt, 10
for LaFollette and 2 from Iowa for
Cummns, leaving 90 uninstructed
OF course, the campaigns of LaFol-
lette and Cummins are not taken
seriously, being more in the nature of
the "favorite son. Col. Roosevelt s
position has been 50 inconsistent that
he has been practically put out of the
running. Had he come out squarely
as a candidate upon his return from
Africa, and refrained from commit
ting himself on the sfrecallo ques-
ton, he would have made a much
better showing, although his nomina-
ton would probably have been out of
the question owing to the prejudice
against third terms.
