ElES' MEMORIAL Is TO
Be HELD NEXT SUNDAY
Mr. THAMES WILL Be ORATOR
Columbus Lodge No. $50. B. P
o. E., viii Hold Annual Me-
mortal Services Next
Sunday Afternoon

The constitution and bylaws
Of the Grand Lodge. Benevolent
Protective Order of Elks, provide
that every subordinate lodge hold
memorial services on the first
Sunday in each December in
honor of members who have
passed away during the preced-
ing year, and in accordance with
these provisions Columbus Lodge
No. 555 will hold its annual me-
mortal services next Sunday af-
ternoon at the First Methodist
church.
The death roll of the local
lodge was quite small during the
past year, DR.. R. L. Sykes hav-
ing been the only member called
to the Great Beyond. DR.. Sykes,
however, was a noble man, and
the loss which the lodge feels as
a result OF his death will be
evinced in an elaborate memorial
program.
Mr.. Irwin Kaufman, the exalted
ruler of the lodge, appointed a
committee consisting of Messrs.
G. M. Flynn and 7. B. Blake. Jr.,
to make the arrangements for
the services, and these gentle
men have arranged a most inter-
esting program. Hon. j. D.
Thames of Vicksburg has accept
ed an invitation to deliver the
memorial address. Mr.. Thames
is no stranger to the people of
Columbus. He delivered an adj
dress here several years ago,
and made an exceedingly fine
impression. He is recognized as
enc Of the ..aoss-s;;fts.! srasG1s i.
the state, and his grafton next
Sunday is sure to be fraught with
words of wisdom and impassion-
ed oratorical flights.
The music will be under the
direction of Mr.. H. M. Teasdale,
and will be a special feature of
the occasion. Some of the most
talented vocalists in the city will
participate, the program includ-
ing selections appropriate to the
occasion.
The services will begin at three
O'Clock p. M, and the people Of
Columbus are extended a cordial
invitation to be present.

DEFEATS UNIVERSITY CO-EOS
Local Aggregation Vanquishes
Ole Miss Players by Score
of IL to 3.

The baskatball season was
ausp ciously opened at the Uni
tersi,y of Mississippi Friday af-
ternoon, when the co.eds of that
institution were defeated b. the
team from the Industrial Insti-
tute and College in this city by a
score of II to 6.
In size and weight the two op-
posing teams were about evenly
matched, but the young ladies'
from this city outclassed their
opponents in skill, having been
carefully coached by Miss Pohl,
the experienced mistress Of the
athletic department at the coll
lege, and her able assistants.
The game was interesting
throughout, having been char
aeterized by many brilliant plays.
The work of Misses Thomas and
Milton for the visiting team
and that Of the Misses Picard for
the co-eds was exceptionally
brilliant.
News of the victory was re.
ceived here with great glee, the
students of the college having
given voice to their exhileration
in yells, shouts and songs.
The following was the lineup:

FOUND
IN CALUMET RIVER
Remains So Badly Deconl-
posed That Irientfiica- =
tion Is Impossible.

The decomposed remains of an un-
identified man were found in the river
near the rear of the Beckman supply
Company yards in Hammond, about 10
o'clock this morning by George Young
who is employed as a watchman for
the company.
The police were notified and after
some difficulty Captain Hanlon and f.
ORourke. got the body out of the
water from where it was removed to
Stewards morgue. The body was badly
decomposed and it is evident that the
body has been in the water some
months a 1T was frozen to some float
Ing ice and was likely released from
the ice yesterday or day before when
the ice broke up. The clothing had
caught on a piling underneath the Sohl
street bridge where it was first seen
by Young AS yet the remains have not
been identifed or searched as the body
is in such bad shape.

DISTRICT
ROOSEVELT
WARS ANEW FOR
DELEGATES

Indiana polls. Ind. March 2s.-Re-
publican conventions to select dele
gates to the national convention at
Chicago Will be held in the second.
sixth, eighth, ninth and tenth dis
tricts today.
In the second and sixth districts
the Taft delegates are largely in the
majority and Taft delegates to Chi
cago Will be elected without trouble.
Emissaries from the Roosevelt
headquarters, however, are working
in both districts in an effort to OBJ
tain proxies from Taft delegates.
The sixth district was so close at
the state convention that there was
a contest over every member of the
committees that it selected. but the
Taft managers believe they will get
the delegates. although admitting
there is serious question as to the
result.
The eighth and ninth were both
represented on committees at the
state convention By Roosevelt men
and cast majority of their votes
for him in the convention. While
the delegates that will serve today
and those that served at the state
/ convention are not the same, there
is little doubt that the Roosevelt
men will control both conventions.
1t Will not surprise the Taft man
ayers if there should be bolt in the
sixth district If Taft should prove to
have majority. The Taft repre-
sentative was given a place In the
committee on credentials over the
Roosevelt man. This increased the
feeling in the district.
The managers for Taft and Roose-
Welt have been in constant COM
munications with the five districts
all day. Lively contests are expect
d in the conventions.
