THE CUT Detectives Watch Exchanging of Cars By Working Men at Four Corners Arrests May Be Made Tonight. That ticket scalpers are at work in the city plying their profession by sell ing city car transfers is claimed by i-everal down town business men and it is said that on Friday and Satur day evenings just at the closing hours of the east end factories, four detec tives or inspectors were at watch on the four corners to get evidence that some of the east end factory employes sell their transfers to South Bend men employed at the Dodge Manufacturing Co. It is a well known fact that South Bend men employed in this city have been giving transfers to men employ ed in the end factories in the morn ings and in the evenings exchanging back with the men for South Bend transfers, thus making the faro for a number of men only live cents. It is thought that no ctop can be put to this practice but it is claimed that professional scalpers gather tho transfers from the east end men, pay ing them a small amount, and that and then sell them to South Bend men for a rate per week. It seems little money could be made In this manner by scalpers, but when pushed on a large scale it may be possible for them to realize a considerable amount each week. There were no arrests made Friday or Saturday evenings but some may be made Monday evening, as it is ex pected that the men will again be on watch. CITIZENS INTERESTED IN REPULBICAN MEETING Interest centers around the meet ing of local republicans called for Tuesday evening at Justice Hiram Hunt's office. Matters pertaining to the coming city campaign are ex pected to come up for consideration and action. Some time ago tho bull moose held a meeting at which they expressed a desire to come back into the former party. A committee was appoint ed to confer with the republicans to consider uniting for tho coming cam paign. This committee may meet with the republicans Tuesdayevening. At any rate it is practically certain that the republicans will decide at their meeting whether they will enter the city campaign alone or whether .ney will consider an offer from the bull moosers and allow this party to co operate with them. It is understood that the prevailing republican sentiment is either for a republican ticket or a co-operative ticket with the bull moosers to be known as the republican ticket. Sev eral prominent republicans are said to be adverse to supporting a citizens ticket In case one is started. ENJOYING VACATION.

Mr. Cronk, who was born in Dowa giac, Dec 20, 185S, lived there until after his marriage to Miss Nellie Holmes on Feb. 2, 1879. In 1S80 he went to Chicago, where he entered the employ of the Lake Shore as a fireman in the yard, remaining there two ye-ars and then moved to this city, which had been his home ever since. He was soon promoted to the. position of engineer and ran an engine for a number of years, finally retiring and becoming Inspector of engines, which position he idled until about four years ago, when he retired perma nently. After his retirement from railroad ing Mr. Cronk conducted a billiard and pool room at No. 608 S. Main st. until last September, when he sold out and purchased the A. D. Wells dairy business, in which he was engaged at his death. Mr. Cronk was a member of the Brotherhood of Locomotive En gineers and of the Elks ad of the Moose orders.
