GENTLEMEN. CROWN PT.
WANTS Its -PEANAAI
George Keiser Intends to
Bring Graphing Hooks
to Directors Meeting.
(special to THE T1MEs. )

Crown Point, Ind. June 5.--A meet
league directors will be held at Ham
mond tonight. when it ia expected the
death knell of the Saturday afternoon
games will be rung. The association
games so far have been fiat failure
as far as Saturday afternoon crowds
We're concerned, it being estimated that
not over 500 people represented the at
tendance at the entire schedule of
games last Saturday.
With the salaries paid the players at
present. those conditions would put the
league in position where It would
soon have to suspend business. the Sun
day attendance not being enough TO
make up the deficit. Whether the in
terest would revive and grow in the
Saturday afternoon games as the season
advances is question, but it is thought
the directorate will settle the question
of its own accord tonight and leave the
uncertainty of paying crowds to the
surer method of one game a week. Di-
Point end of the league will attend the
meeting and will take crowbar and
big chain along to pry the pennant
loose from the fellows who have it TO
hand to Crown Point. 1t is expected
that some live questions will be set
tied this evening and the directors
meeting promises to be warm one

HERMIT FISHERMAN
KILLED BY TRAIN
Charles Swanson, Eccentric
Recluse, Meets Fate
This Morning.

Charles Swanson a hermit fisherman
who <as for half century lived by
his trade the shores of Lake Michi-
gan was struck and killed by fast
freight at the Sheffield avenue cross
ing of the Lake Shore at noon today.
He is without known relatives. His
body was taken to Whiting by the
crew of the train that struck him.
Living alone in hermitage on the
beach, Swanson existed ON the fish he
caught in winter and summer. He sold
direct to peddlers. Only occasionally
would he visit the markets of East
Chicago and Whiting, and only once in
a decade would he enter their build
ings of commerce, amusement or re-
ligion. He lived the life depicted in
romantic poems-a jug, a pipe and line.
This morning Swanson started away
afoot-he never rode on train or troll
ley cars. His destination was unknown.
When struck by the train he was
knocked into the air and thrown TWEEN
ty' feet to the north. He was uncon-
scious when picked up. The train
stopped and the crew took Swanson
aboard. He was taken to Whiting,
where he died a half hour after the
accident.
Perhaps not more than fifty people
knew of Swansons existence. Where
crowds or couples strolled on the beach
Swanson was not TO be found. He did
not care to indulge in fantastic recitals
of life on the deep and briny' for the
edification of inspecting visitors. His
abode was changed now and then as
the growth OF the region and the in
vasion of civilization demanded. Dur
/ ing the past two years he lived in a hut
/ near Whiting, which was obscure. al
! though but a few hundred yards from
! mills. homes, churches, theatres and
other evidences of hustling communi-
! ty. He disdained the piles of bricks
| and mortar, called cities.

GARY THREATENS
TO PUNISH MILLER

Stirred by reports that the Gary
city hall is about to annex them and
make the town one of Mayor Knots
feudal principalities people of Miller
have started to offset any action In
this direction. Two years ago Gary by
resolutions in it's council annexed the
town but the citizens promptly signed
remonstrance and shook off the
grasp of their captors by prompt ac-
tion in the superior court.
Miller To He Punished.
Angered because of the failure of
the town trustees to turn the lake
frontsite over to Alderman "Battleaxe'
CastIeman and his cohorts for use of a
park steps, 1T is said, will be taken to
annex the town If there is not too
much opposition. Then punishment
will be meted out. so plans are under
way, by turning over the streets of the
town to the contractors for paving
whether they need them not. BY
these means 1t Is expected to even up
with the Miller folks for their temerity
in opposing the wishes of the city hall.

MISSING BOY
SOUGHT IN
HAMMOND

Yesterday mornings Chicago Trib
une printed a picture of Howard Lynn
Shankland, a IA year old youth, for
whom heartbroken mother in Water :
loo. la. is awaiting some word and for
whom the Hammond police are making
search in the vicinity in the hopes
that they can find some clews of the
missing boy.
1t developed yesterday, when young
Shankland left Laporte. Ind, that he
had been in that city for nearly three
weeks where he had been employed by
the Consumers Butter Co, at IT'S
Michigan avenue. His father with
whom the young lad simultaneously
|d1ssssneared Wiis. in. the employment of
Hildebrand and Schultz Before 1eav- :
ing Laporte yesterday young Shank .
land told friends that it was his in
tention to go to Cambridge, Ohio. but
authorities thought it might be possi-
Bile to locate him in this vicinity as he
may have taken South Shore interur-
ban into Chicago. 1t is presumed that
the father is with the son and police
officials are expecting his arrest at
most any time.

TECHNIC ALLY RIGHT.
MORALLY IN BAD
Young Men Would Split
Hair as to Date of
Arrest.

The young men whose names were
mentioned in the story of the raid on
Foss' resort in West Hammond have
been loudly protesting that injustice
was done them in mentioning their
names in connection with the raid Sum
day.
The facts are that they right tech
nically for the young men were ar
rested on Friday night. while the raid
on Foss' resort took place on sun
day night.
But this discrepancy in THE TINES
story does not make the conduct of the
young men any less reprehensible. They
had been ir Foss' resort on Friday
night
In the party was Charles ". Cordey.

man and Frank Cochran. One of the
party became SO intoxicated that he
started trouble in the place

of the others. who were not so drunk.
to get their companion out of the re-
sort After a struggle lasting some
time the whole party left the saloon.
Some of the young men had been
drinking and they were all more or less
drunk and disorderly. Hearing of the
disturbance in the saloon officers John
Okraj and Joe Bissa of the West Ham
mond police force encountered the
crowd.
1t was just such a gang as the West
Hammond police encountered when one
of the officers was compelled TO shoot
one young fellow in order to protect
himself, They were the kind of young
men who were going to do up the
town.
The police officers arrested the whole
! party. Two of the young men were
related, distantly to Judge Frank
Green so Judge whittenberg Of West
Hammond was called over to sit in the
cases.
He found all of the young men guilty
and they were each fined 81 and costs.
So while the men were not arrested in
Foss' resort they had been there dur

resulted in their arrest. started there
The raid on Foss' place took place the

NEW ARRIVAL AT

Rudolph Bereau, employed in the
service of Uncle Sam in Hammond, was
noticeably absent-minded this morning.
Fellow workers in the postal rooms of
the Federal building were attracted by
his far-away smile The unconscious
manner in which Berau rose above the
matter of fact surrounding savored of
romance His conduct was that of a
man who has suddenly inherited wealth,
