PARKS ARE PREPARED
FOR WINTER ENJOYMENT
superintendent Perley Reports on
Work Done During Past
Season.

Considerable space is devoted 10
winter sports in South Bend accord
ing to Park E. Perley. secretary of
the park board. who gave a basic
estimate of the ground used for
skating Kinks and the Riverside DIR.
slide, last winter.
In Kinks, 100000 square feet of
city property were covered and cared
for between Dec. Is. 1914, and Feb.
Is, 1915, says Mr.. Perley In addi-
ton to this, there was the slide into
Leeper park, which is 1.45O feet long
and "a feet wide. A total Of $4,000
square feet Of city property is used
in this winter feature.
Many people are Of the impression
it is an easy matter 10 build and
care for these ice fields, says Mr..
Perley. who described the methods
followed here. Fire hydrants with
their powerful streams are not used,
as many think, but a fine stream is
played first on the bare ground and
then on the ice formed during the
night.
Hours of careful flooding are
necessary both in the slide and the
Kinks. The work is done mostly
through the night hours and means
many nights Of painstaking effort.
II is pointed out that water from the
fire hydrants is too warm for use on
the ground. All snow is first cleared
away, following which. on the bare
surface, the first crust is made, and
with this as a foundation and the
frost still held 10 the soil, the body
of the rink and slide are built.
A party from Boston coasting at
Riverside DIR. Thursday night was
high in its praise OF the South Bend
slide. Members OF the party had
travelled a great deal. but declared
the South Bend slide the best they
had ever used.

taneous evangelistic campaign un-
der the auspices CT the Ministerial

cities
Next week will be one OF prayer
in all churches. some OF them join
ing others in joint services, but each
carrying on the program in its own
way. The special topic for prayer

PANAM A CANAL Is
SHOWN IN PICTURES
Lyman Howe Takes Oliver Audience
60 Many Spots of
Interest

Unstinted praise may be keaped
upon the many wonderful motion
picture plays which are presented
daily TO an appreeiative public, but
the fact remains that no pictures
excel and few equal Lyman II.
Howe's travel pictures for general
appeal. The first OF five shows,
which was given at the oliver the
ater Friday night. drew a large
crowd, which was both entertained
and instructed in a most acceptable
manner for two hours.
The Howe pictures stand preemi-
nent in that they disclose care and
artistic skill as well as intelligent
choice Of subjects. The pictures are
the last word in the art or coIoring,
so that the simplest subjects are
made as pleasing and entertaining
as the more unusual ones Realism
is added 70 all the pictures by skilled
performers who reproduce many
sounds 10 suit the action os the pic
lures.
The pictures Friday night carried
the audience through the Panama
canal and TO the eXpositions at san
Diego and San Francisco. Although
many pictures Of the canal have been
shown during the last year. yet the
Howe pictures showed much that
apparently was new. A feature 90
this subject was a manipulation of
the pictures which showed the en-
tire canal trip made in five minutes.
As TO the expositions. the pictures
left the audience with the feeling
that they had been 20 the great fairs
in fact and had seen all the sights
which ordinarily could be seen only
at the expense OF much time and
travel rather than with east from
the seats OF a theater.

has announced that he, too, will seek

dacy for the democratic nomination

j. W. Sappenfield, a democrat, who

Political Gossip

After the holidays" has been the
watchword in political camps here
abOuts so far as organized activities
are concerned, and, with the hOli-
days passing rapidly, the first Of the
coming week may find many an
nouncements Of interest to the city.
county and state-to say nothing of
the nation in general.
Among local men due 10 make
formal announcements Monday are
Cyrus Pattee, former progressive,
and now a republican candidate for
prosecuting attorney, subject TO the
primary, and Samuel 2. Schwartz,
deputy prosecutor under c. r. Mont
gomery, and candidate for primary
nomination to succeed his present
boss" Covering a great deal of
territory with a few words, it is safe
to say most OF the talked-of candi-
dates will make q declaration either
in favor Of or against a primary
race in the direction of the respec-
tive Offices TO which they aspire.
The year 1916 will be a big one
politically. 1t is the year Of the ma
tional election. and with so many
issues and such diversified factions,
one can expect even more puzzling
developments than were unfOlded 10
the people in 1912.
The republican party hopes for a
re-marriage with the progressive
bride, and many progressives seem
TO be hoping along the same line.
Then there are the fractional differ
ences caused by the war abroad and
the self-evident fact the hyphen will
make at least an impression in the
coping presidential race, as well as
tho battle for senate and house con-
troll
Preparedness will enter into the
coming campaign from present fore
casts. as will foreign policies and
foreign trade relations. Yes, and the
tariff is bound 20 bob up again. along
with countless other petty and inn
portant beliefs alike. Woman suf-
frage and prohibition promise TO
have their point OF vantage through
out the year.
That George Kurtz may hear the
call and again seek the county prose-
cutorship on the republican ticket is
a bit of gossip voiced hereabouts the
past few days. 'Go ahead and gos-
sip" says George. but I'm not talk
ing for publication"
Nnnneapo1is-not Milwaukee-will
stage the next national convention
OF the prohibition party, and sew
eral men. including one from Indi-
ana. are being talked OF as possible
candidates. The convention will be
held July 10 and 20. and the possi-
BILE presidential candidates are:
J. Frank Hanly, former governor
of Indiana: William Sulzer. former
governor OF New York; Richmond
p. Hobson. former congressman
from Alabama, and Eugene Foss.
former governor of Massachusetts,.
Robert Bracken of Frankfort,
chairman Of the democratic county
committee. has announced he will
be a candidate for the democratic
nomination Of joint senator from
Clinton and Boone counties. Bracken
.operPtes a farm near Colfax.
Judge Ralph r. Roberts. judge OF
the warrick and Spencer circuit
court. has announced that he will
seek denomination on the democratic
ticket. Henry +. Pulling, an at

cloae enough TO him 20 make any
sort OF attack. such as appears TO
have been made on one Of the rob
bers BY Chrobot. But the precau-
tons taken by the bandits in cover
iEg up their tracks in the way OF re-
moving all Identification marks from
their clothing and using guns ap-
parently purchased outside Of the
city also leads to the belief that the
work may have been that Of outside
talent
Harry Josephson was busy last
night sending out 500 circulars 10
police departments in the central
states. describing the bandits and ex-
planning the $500 reward offered by
the Etks' lodge for the arrest and
conviction OF the bandits. The Elks
decided TO offer the reward at
meeting held Friday noon. This
amount may be raised 10 1000 If
the robbers are not captured i'm
mediately.
4. William Muessel Better.
According to reports from Ep-
worth hospital at midnight William
Muessel. who was shot by the ban
dts. was not In a dangerous condi-
ton. Although he was not resting
comfortably last night Il was stated
that he was believed 10 have a good
chance or recovery.
Mrs. Henry Muessel, wife OF the
murdered brewer, was expected 10
arrive IN South Bend sometime early
fhf- Che 20 Lot-o 49,,
met In Chicago on her return trip
from Oklahoma by Mr.. and Mrs
Philip Goetz, who we're close friends
OF Mr.. Muessel.
Herman Bowlin was arrested at
Niles and brought here a. noon. He
proved such a strong alibi ttei lief
Kuespert declared the police coui6
not hold him. Two men held in
Laporte were also questioned by the
police and although they are still
in Jail Kuespert says they are not
the bandits.
Bloodhound Fails.
Hope OF tracing the robbers with
the bloodhound brought here early
Friday morning. were dismissed when
the animal followed two trails, one
ending at the home of John Opie-
czewski. 1902 Werwinski St. an en-
ploye OF the Singer Mfg. Co. and
the other at the Root drug store on
Michigan av. Opieczewski worked
last night until after o'clock and
he is not suspected Of the deed. AL
though he was not at home when
the hound reached the house IL was
stated that he probably visited the
scene OF the double mJrder in the
evening. When the hound finally
ended up at the drug store, aSter
having started the second slime he
was taken off the trail.
Sheriff Bailey has a 19-year-old
youth at the county Jail, who was
arrested Thursday night by Deputy
NiezgodslSi and Joe Wartha, on the
west side, who has refused TO talk,
eat or drink Friday. The youth
was picked up as a suspect in con
naction with the murder, at Division

description os one of the slayers
very closely. When found ne was

he said he owned one, could not
tell where II was at that time. AL
though he has been questioned to-
day he has refused 10 talk and
would eat neither his breakfast nor
