CUT DOME SPEED
Says the East Chicago City
Council, or We Will
Fine You.
(Special to The Times).
East Chicago, Ind., Sept. 5. An or
dinance will be prepared and presented
to the councilmanlc body at its next
regular meeting, on Tuesday evening,
prohibiting the excessive speed of au
tomobiles on, streets of East Chicago
and Indiana Harbor. The movement
was started last evening by residents
of Magoun avenue, who for several
months have been terrorized by the
speeding of motorists down that street
at speeds ranging from 10 to 30 miles
an hour.
The avenue is a favorite speedway
with Hammond and Crown Point en
thusiasts. Hammond automobilists find
it welcome as a speedtester after a
trip over the usual Hessville course.
On reaching East Chicago they im
mediately make for Magoun avenue,
which is the best paved street in' the
city and put the speed lever on the
last notch. The street is almost a
mile long, and citizens have timed sev
eral and fixed the speeds at over 20
miles an hour.
Last evening one of these flyers
passed down the street going so fast
that its shape could not be distin
guished. Three small . children . were
playing in the road, near the curb, yet
so intent was the driver on his speed
ing that he failed to even give the
usual honk-honk. The children nar
rowly escaped being run over and were
badly frightened.
This is a peril that citizens of resi
dence districts should not .have to con
tend with and the action of the coun
cil in regulating speed on such streets
to less than five miles an hour would
be given the support of East Chicago
ans in general.
WATCHING GOAL FIGHT
Citizens of Indiana Harbor
Hope That Prices Will
be Scalped.
(Special to The Times).
Indiana Harbor, Ind.. Sept. 5. Citi
zens of Indiana Harbor are interested
in a fight which has been going on
between Chicago and local coal deal
ers for the past two months. Manufac
turers are especially interested in its
outcome and ares miling broadly at
the cutting which is being made in
carload prices on all grades of coals.
The Harman Coal company, a Chi
cago corporation, which, according to
local dealers, is unable to do anything
but a scalping business, has had a man
in this field for several weeks. He is
Charles Chamberlain, and his persist
ent reductions on car lots has aroused
the ire and antagonism of the Harbor
companies.
Chamberlain started in with a cut
of five cents per ton on carload lots.
The Harbor companies, not to be out
done, granted a decrease of seven
cents, to which the Pioneer Lime &
Coal company, Indiana Harbor Lumber
& Coal company, and the Mentzer Coal
company agreed. Chamberlain, on se
curing permission from his company,
immediately opened war on the local
dealers and steadily increased his cut
from one to two cents per ton daily.
The cut is made only on carload lots
and therefore appeals strongly to big
buyers. Decreases ranging from 15 to
25 cents per ton have now been made
on all carload quotations. This, ac
cording to buyers themselves, is an
unprecedented decrease and they are
naturally highly pleased with it.
The Pioneer Lime & Coal company,
ne of the oldest corporations in the
city, will meet any price offered by
the scalpers, and will endeavor to re
tain the bulk of Indiana Harbor trade
In local circles. Their expression is
but a general thought issued by other
coal and lumber dealers.
Michigan avenue, near Grapevine, are
contemplating the installation of a
modern set of counter cases.
J. B.- Maling, who has been visitng
with W. W. Moberly for several days,
is spending a short period with friends
in Lafayette, Ind.
The South Bay hotel-Inland hospi
tal deal has evidently fallen through
In an interview with Manager Barker
yesterday afternoon, The Times repre
sentative was informed that nothing
had been said to the local management
concerning such a proposition. The
news will meet with the disapproval
of Harborities, who have long felt the
need of a suitable hospital in this city.
Physicians are especially interested
and there is talk in medical circles of
commencing a project for the construc
tion of a city general hospital, to be
under the Jurisdiction of the city of
ficials. May the project meet with suc
cess! Sam Bernatti has moved his barber
shop to that of Peter VolantI, on Mich
igan avenue and entered into a part
nershop with his former employe.
The Infant son of Mrs. W. Hickey,
of Chicago, died in Oklahoma yester
day, where Mrs. Hickey has been visit
ing her brother, George Melekinskl.
The child was about five months' old
and will be buried in a Chicago ceme
tery. Mrs. Joseph Perry, of Fir street, left
last evening for Rochester, Minn.,
where she will undergo an operation.
She will return in about two weeks.

GRAFT CRUSADERS MEET
East Chicago Improvement
Association Again De
nounces Council.
(Special to The Times).
East Chicago, Ind., Sept. 5. Fifty
members , of the anti-graft crusade
league, known as the Improvement as
sociation, held their regular meeting
in Moss hall last evening and laid
plans for a campaign of unusual force
against the councilmen of East Chi
cago. Officers were elected for the en
suing year and eleven new subscrip
tions taken In, aggregating about $15.
The finance committee reported con
siderable progress and displayed con
fidence that they would be able to
raise at least $200 within the next
two or three weeks.
Council Denounced.
The meeting was very mild but was
livened a trifle by the condemnation
of the council by Colonel Walsh. He
denounced the action of the council
in disposing of $28,000 worth of city
bonds for the construction of a new
fire hall at Indiana Harbor. "It is
both criminal and unjust to the tax
payers of the city," said Mr. Walsh,
"and they should be bitterly prose
cuted." A resolution was also passed asking
all taxpayers to Join the association
for the purpose of bettering civic con
ditions. The next meeting of the as
sociation will be in Moss hall a week
from next Friday evening, at which
time plans will be strengthened for
the crusade against vice and graft.
Member Charles Pltzele, who is the
power behind the throne on matters
concerning the council, was out of the
city and unable to attend the meeting.
ROMANIANS CELEBRATE
Sunday and Monday to be
Important Days For
Church Societies.
(Special to The Times).
Indiana Harbor, Ind., Sept. 5. Sun
day and Monday will be important
days in the history of local Roumanian
and Croatian societies. Tomorrow the
union of the entire Roumanian organ
izatlons of the United States will meet
in convention in this city, forty-three
societies being repreesnted by dele
gates and their families. It is esti
mated that fully 2,000 Roumanians
will be entertained by local socities.
The day's church ceremonies will be
held in the Roumanian Greek Ortho
dox church under the direction of Rev
S. Mihaltan. A large parade in the
afternoon, . followed by addresses by
prominent speakers and a banquet at
6:30 at which I. Leon Gould, an In
dianapolis attorney, will be the prin
cipal speaker, are some of the features
of the day. On Monday morning, the
assembly will again meet on parade
and will be Joined by the local Croatlon
societies, who have chosen Labor day
as a fitting date on which to dedicate a
new flag.
Among the speakers who will ad
dress the lodges are I. Leon Gould of
Indianapolis, Rec. S. Mihaltan, J. Su-
fana and M. Nickoleska, all of Indiana
Harbor, as well as representatives of
the various state orders. Mr. Gould
is perhaps the best known speaker and
will give an excellent patriotic ad
dress, impressing upon the Rouman
ians the necessity of a republican ad
ministration. Mr. Gould is an en
thuslastic republican worker and his
address will contain many useful sug
gestions to his countrymen.
The East Chicago police departments
have been asked to lead the parade
and will be present in full force on
both the Sunday and Monday prome
nades. Four bands have been engaged
to supply the music for the occasion
and there is little doubt that the Har
bor will indeed be in gala attire.

ONLY 2 GAMES LEAD SOX.
Another kind of pennant Joy was put
on exhibition yesterday, when the
white sox returned from a victorious
trip abroad and whaled Lajoie's Naps,
3 to 2, in eleven furious and sparkling
Innings. That the terrible tigers stub
bed their toe in St. Louis at the same
time made the crowd of 7,500 assem
bled at the South Side grounds unusu
ally nutty.
Only two games separate the sox and
Detroits now, and if the former world
beaters keep up the pace they showed
in their opening struggle Jennings and
his fence breakers better look out.
There was championship pepper in the
actions of the pale shins.
ST. LOUIS DRAWS NEAR.
St. Louis, Sept. 4. By defeating De
troit, 4 to 2, this afternoon St. Louis
drew nearer first place in the American
League pennant race and now but a
game and a half separate the locals
from Detroit, which still holds first
place. The crowd that witnessed the
contest this afternoon was the largest
week-day crowd at a game in St. Louis
this year. It is estimated that 16,000
people saw the struggle. Ground rules
were necessary.
Willetts, the Detroit pitcher, was in
effective. He was hit .hard from the
start, three hits in the first inning giv
ing St. Louis two runs after Detroit
had opened with one run on a single
by Mclntyre, Schaefer's sacrifice and
Cofcb's single.

CUTS OUT BOXING.
San Francisco, Sept. 4. Battling Nel
son, at the advice of Willis Britt, has
practically decided to cut out boxing
for the balance of the time before his
bout with Gans except such light work
as may be required to keep in play the
muscles he uses in wielding the gloves.
He will spar lightly with Jeff Cornett
and RediPerry, but the outsiders will
do oarred.
Britt decided on this, as the various
lightweights whom he permitted to
box with Nelson often became too
energetic, and he does not wish the
tiattier to enter the ring with a sore
face. Kid Dalton met him vesterdav
and rushed the Battler so vigorously
that many thought he was trying to
"slip one over" on Nelson. As Nelson
is already down close to weight. Britt
aoes not wish him to take off too much
flesh by strenuous work. Nelson is
said to scale 135 pounds at present.
PAPKE IS WORKING FOR SPEED.
Spars With Lighter Men In Effort To
Develop Rapidity of Action.
Los Angeles, Sept. 4. Billey Papke
has been doing his utmost to improve
his speed and has been working with
Charley Lucca and, until two days ago
when Phil Brock abandoned his spar
ring work, practiced with him.
Billy is also taking great interest in
road work, and worked with Brock
when the latter was following this
form of exercise. He is said to be in
the best of etiape at present, and Man
ager Jones is confident of his condition.
Talk of a match between Papke and
Langford led to Jones making the
statement that his boxer would not
oppose colored fighters.
Ketchel has two new sparring part
ners In the persons of Carl Solomon
and Joaquin Coursey, and these bid fair
to last as he is working very lightly
with them. Papke has two heavy men
to shove him about the ring in Sam
Coulter and Bill Aldridge.
MTARLAND MAY BOX MURPHY.
Bout With Eastern Fighter May Be
Clinched With New York Club.
Packle McFarland and Tommy Mur
phy of New York probably will be
matched today. Upon receiving offers
for a bout between the Chicago light
weight and Tommy Murphy from Harry
Gibson of the Fairmount Club of New
York and from Charley White of the
National club in the same city. Man
ager Gilmore announced yesterday he
probably would accept one of the offers.
Gibson offers McFarland, for his end
alone, a purse of $1,250, or the privilege
of 35 per cent of the gross receipts,
Gilmore was aeady negotiating with
White for the same bout and wired to
him asking for $1,500 for McFarland's
end. If this Is accepted the bout will
be taken on.
