MUNICIPAL CHRISTMAS
EVENT TO BE GREAT

New York had its first municipal
Christmas tree in 1912. and Misha-
waka wiz have its third this year.
The spread OF the idea has been
worldwide; even the Tommies in
the trenches viii participate in the
movement this Christmas. their re-
spective countries having arranged
a tree bountifully laden with gifts
which will be distributed amid the
roar of cannon Christmas morn.
Elaborate arrangements have been
made for the local event, which will
take place Christmas eve at
o'clock. The good ladies who un-
dertook the work in connection with
the tree have met with most encour-
aging financial success, their efforts
having succeeded even far beyond
their expectations. From 10 min
utes to seven the Methodist chimes
Will peal forth Christmas carols.
while the children assemble around
the immense tree which will be gaily
decorated and will contain a present
for every child in the city. Miss
JEANNE Terry Will be in charge Of a
chorus choir made up of school chill
dren to the number of 800, who will
render an appropriate program of
airs. There will also be a quartet
and other musical features which
will add TO the festive occasion. The
Wooden Co.'S band will be present
and Will lend itself to the enjoyment
of the affair. At a meeting of the
ladies held during the latter part of
November, it was decided to ask that
all citizens burn a candle in their
windows the night Of the municipal
tree, and it is hoped every one will
respond so that this feature may be
made in keeping with the spirit Of
the occasion.

WEARS ANOTHER COAT
AND GETS P|NCHED
Comes to City to Have Good
Time and Takes Express
mans Garment.

Patrolman Henry Beehler made a
smart arerst about o'clock Sunday
morning when he gathered into GUS
today a man giving the name of
Harry DeLampOrt and his residence
as Mishawaka av., South Bend. The
man had been hanging around the
entrance TO the Mishawaka hotel In
the early hours of the morning and
his movements attracted the atten-
ton Of the patrolman who watched
him closely After satisfying him
self that there was something
queer" about his actions, Beehler
accosted him on the steps Of the no
tel and questioned him. In the
course of the conversation the man
stated that he intended staying in
the Mishawaka for the night. As his
clothes were not exactly of the cut
worn by travellers who cultivate
Mishawaka's swell hostelry. Beehler's
suspicious seemed about 10 be con-
firmed. Just as the officer was
about 10 act the night clerk came TO
the door and told the guardian of the
law that the man had, a few min
utes earlier, checked an overcoat in
the hotel. As he was then wearing
one he was asked what he was do
ing with another. He tried 10 ex-
plain that he was holding it for
some one who had come from South
Bend with him 10 have a good Sat
urban nights fun in he CONNER
cial metropolis. The story. however,
- a
was headed towards the police sta
ton. At the corner of Main st. and
Lincoln highway a small group was
gathered discussing the mysterious
disappearance of an Overcoat be-
longing to a driver for the American
Express. The officer was interest
ed as he heard the word "Overcoat."
He stopped with his prisoner, and
the express driver whose eyes had
been rivited on the South Bender. at
once identified the garment as his
very own. He said he had been de-
livering packages to the Lake shore
depot and while unloading them had
laid his coat down on seat in the
waiting room and had missed il
when his work was done. The pris-
oner had removed his own garment
which he checked and had dOnned
the other which had not reached the
years of maturity of his own. on be-
ing searched $79 in currency was
found in his pockets. on being
booked he gave his occupation as
that of a wood turner which he
followed up by stating he was a
teamster. His wife was called on the
phone and TO the police give a de-
scription of her husbands overcOat
which Tailed exactly with the one
that had been checked. DeLamport
will explain all about it to Judge Feig
this morning.
