LOWER BOND Is DENIED
Motion of Stella Browns Attorney
il OVerruled.

Another effort 10 secure a Teduc-
ton Of bond for Stella Brown. the
22-year- colored girl held at the
county Jail for abiding Harry Beck,
:. Michigan ST, and robbing him Of
1924 failed in city court Wednesday
morning. Atty. George Sands con-
tended that there was no evidence to
show that the woman had taken the
money from Beck and demanded an
immediate trial. G.. \. Farabaugh
entered his appearance with the
states and asserted that it was i'm
possible TO go to trial as the COM
planning witness is confined to his
bed and unable TO appear in court
In answer Sands replied that Beck
had been up town since the cutting
ARRAY and had boosted that he
would keep the Brown girl in Jail
at any cost, and made the prediction
that the man would never appear
against the woman. But his request
for a lower bond was denied and an
other hearing upon the same ques-
ton was set for Friday morning.

STAMP SALES ARE
NEAR $1,000 MARK
Plea For Christmas Gifts For
HeaIthWin as Made
by Society.

Red Cross Christmas seals are
running close TO the $1,000 mark,
10 which those in charge Of the cam
paign aspired with the opening Of
stands in South Bend two weeks ago.
\ s54 total for Tuesday. half OF
which was secured at the hotel oil
yer. sent the total upwards 70 500
from South Bend and outlying dis
tricts which. with $500 fund 20 be
received from Mishawaka, gives but
500 more to secure in the sales
Wednesday and Thursday, and FIJI
day at the postoffice.
There IS hardly a doubt that St
Joseph county will be able to claim
the major share Of proceeds from
the seal sale for 1915, and already
visions OF the completion of plans
for the prevention and treatment OF
tuberculosis in this county are bright
on the horizon. The selling OF 1OO,-
600 seals and the securing of $1,000
for these seals means a larger per
cent for St. Joseph oOunty's society,
and for the first time since the sale
of seals was inaugurated here, tsls
increased per cent is seen as prac-
ticaIly a realized fact.
In connection with the Red Cross
sticker campaign, a request for
Santa Claus contributions has been
received from the Tuberculosis
hospital, Healthwin. located i've
miles north of this city. Heretofore
the people Of St Joseph county have
been very thoughtful concerning
patients at this haven, and this year
a request is made that certain ar
ticles be sent.
VictrOla records are wanted. and
people having old records they do
not care for are asked to send them
TO the Anti-Tu berculOsis league
headquarters in the court house, or
TO leave them at the Red Cross
stands These stands will be open
until Thursday night, and the post
office all day Friday.
Canned fruit and flowers are also
desired at the hospital, and any
South Bend or st. Joseph county
Santa Claus desiring to play the part
may send these gifts through the
local headquarters.

Oh You Brooklynllii
 Hurrah for Brooklyn. The Super bas, heretofore warriors for the cellar championship of the National circuit are on the top of the heap, Boston's Braves are In second place and tho Phillies are inthird place, having been hauled from the top rung. Brook lyn certainly has been going great guns. and Eastern newspapers look to see a finish fight between the Robinson squad and Stallings' hope fuls. The Phnlies were set down a peg when Mayer lost three games in a row, and a bad week away from home. The Phils won a double brace from Buck Herzog's Reds yesterday, but the Braves also beat Chicago while Brooklyn was dividing Q dou- ble header wiah st. Louis.
 The National League race is the greatest in the history of that cir cult. There is only 66 points in per centage between the Reds, who are in the cellar and Brooklyn. The at- tendance in the National has been double that in the American, although there is a good race being held in that League. with Boston in first place, Detroit in second and tho White Sox in third.
