 BarOns Fail in Ninth
 The Barons in their part of the final round made a determined attempt to even matters up but Keeley retired them in order, Tragesser, who was sent in to bat for Ellam. flying out to O'Dell at third for the last out.
 Up until the ninth the Barons had their opponents outclassed. while Brown was also having little trouble. two bagger in the first by Lord and a l four-base clout in the eighth by Mill Ter were the only hits secured by the Gulls before the successful assault Tn the ninth.
 "Curley" Brown work ed on the hill for the Barons and Keeley a right handler, for the Gulls. Brown was touched for six hits, including four ob- tained in the ninth while the Barons raked Keeley for five. three of them coming in the sixth when they appar- ently annexed the game.
 Gulls Score Early The Gulls started off with a rush and as during the two previous frolics, Man , ager Lord occupied the spotlight. Tepe was gwen ms DdSe on DallS, auNanclnS to second on a sacrifice by 0Dell and to third on another by Perry. With the burden resting on his shoulders, Lord did not falter but lifted the ball to the scoreboard for two bags Tepe in the meantime romping home with the initial counter. Calhoun fell a vic tim to Brown for the last out. The Barons in their part of the sec ond made an unsuccessful attempt to counter but outside of a scratch hit to short by Mcbride damage Was done. In the second they renewed their efforts, though, as before, they failed. After this no scoring was done until the sixth, when Keeey weakened and the Barons bounced on him for three hits and quartet of runs.

WILL CONSTRUCT BASIN
IN SOUTH SIDE RACE

Work has been started at the south
side race by the Mishawaka Wooden
Co. TO construct a cement basin at the
foot Of the big apron below the head
gates. This action has been taken as
the result OF the delayed opening Of
the gates owing to the city race i'm
provement The basin is being con-
structed TO protect the walls and
foundations OF the city buildings and
also to prevent a wash-out under the
apron and a possible cave-in of the
gates toward the west.
A great hole has been formed be-
low the apron OF the gates and meas
uring from the water line is over 30
feet deep at that point This hole
each year during the lay-off has been
filled with heavy stone and other ma
terials to prevent washouts but dur
ing the course Of the years the waters
wash the stones up for a distance Of
20 or 80 feet. With a cement basin
constructed 1t will do away with all
possible dangers Of waShouts as the
iorce Of the water will be spent by
the time it has reached the edges Of
the basin.

MAN FOUND DEAD
HAD TWO NAMES

That the name Of Edgar Allen al
legged to have been taken by Edwin
Garrett Atwood of Chicago, who was
found dead in his room at the Oliver
hotel a week ago. was the name I'M
der which he was known by his en-
ployers and that his wife knew that
he was working under an assumed
name, was the statement made last
night by L. w. Mccain Of the Nc
Gam undertaking establishment
where the body was taken.
A travelling man who was we'll ac-
quainted with the man, heard of the
death and notified the mans wife in
Chicago. In the company of L. A.
Barker, president of the Merchants
National Insurance Co. Of Chicago,
she came to South Bend to look after
the disposal Of the body Contrary
to allegations, she never called the
local police over the long distance
phone, according to her own story told
to Mr.. McGann, and never made the
statement that she wanted nothing
to do with the body.
An emphatic denial of the story
that a letter signed Fern was found
in the mans pocket was also made by
Mr.. Mccain. II read all of the pa
pers liz the mans pockets and never
ran across any letter signed Fern q"
said Mccain.
1t has been limited that a woman
was with Atwood when he died or
shortly before he died, and this is
denied by Oliver hotel officials and
by Mr.. Mccain. 1t is said proof has
been obtained by them that the wom-
an was with a local travelling man
and not with Atwood at all.
The cause of his death is attributed
TO organic heart trouble, with which
he was known to be afflicted. Besides
his wife, his only living relative is a
brother who is now on his way to
South Bend from New York to take
charge of the body. 1t may possibly
be buried in Jackson. Mich, where
Atwood's parents are buried.

vented possible clash between the
United States troops and the constitu-

high government officials. II was

members Of the cabinet urged the

II would mean war with the approach
ing constitutionalistS Carbajsl. 1t was
stated, sought the aid of the United
states to prevent anarchy and offered
concessions to this government but the
president is reported to have turned a
deaf ear.
The president, instead, according to
the officials gave his attention to the
differences between Villa and Car
rama and Ii was in the effort to heal
this breach that Paul Fuller, a New
York lawyer, was sent 10 see both
Villa and CarranZa.

WOULD INCREASE WAGES:
SHORTER HOURS ASKED

The following letter was read be-
fore the common council at It's Mon
day nights meeting and was referred
10 the committee on fees and salaries;
"Mishawaka, Ind, Aug. u. 1914.
ITO the Honorable Mayor and Com
mon Council Of the City OF Mish-
awake, Indiana:
Il take the liberty OF calling your
attention to a matter which l believe
should be acted upon just as soon as
possible. namely. that the minimum
wage Of the common workmen, that
is, those engaged in ordinary labor
in the employ Of the city, should be
no less than twenty-five cents per
hour and the maximum time should
not be over eight hours per day.
The few dollars additional cost to
the tax payers that this would incur
would be gladly met by those so af-
fected. This proposition is eminently
so fair that il requires in my judg-
ment no circulation of any petitions
or arguments to your honorable body.
Yours respectfully,
- j. ENGLEDRUM."

FARMERS GET MORE FOR
PRODUCE IN MISHAWAKA

Since the Mishawaka boosters in
vaded the surrounding country and
did some hustling among the farmers
with a view to having them do their
trading in this city, an impetus has
been given to the elevator business
here. That this benefits Mishawaka
is evident from the number Of farm
ers who now come to the city daily,
TO dispose Of their produce. The
local concern is at present paying the
following prices: Corn, S5c; wheat.
90c to 92c; oats. 40c. This price, it
is claimed, is five cents better all
around than the farmers have been
getting elsewhere.

For some time an effort has been
made by the St Joseph Market
Growers association TO have a public
wholesale market installed. The
movement was started last year but
nothing definite was done until an
ordinance was placed before the coun-
Gil not long ago. When the question
first came up, Mayor GOetz appointed
a committee to Investigate the condi
lions which would call for a public
wholesale market. Marvin Campbell,
a member OF that committee, ap
peared before the members Of the
council at Tuesday nights meeting
