Walmcti traced and soon had the ball over for touchdown. The second touchdown was made a few minutes later on a brilliant run by Hums. In the st-cond half the scarlet had things thilr own way and chalked up twtnty-flvo points.

Several long runs were made, tho most spectacular being made by Hargrave on a seventy-five yarl dash through a broken fit-Id. Sold of Hammond played his usual strong game at left half. His punting has Improved In the last week, some of his punts averaging fifty yards. A delegation of Purdue students were on the side lines watching the play of tho scarlet. They did not gain much hope but Instead were impressed with the playing of the "Little Giants," who meet Purdue next Saturday.

The fact that several Purdue players were present prevented Cayou from using some of his best plays, straight football being used throughout the game. Cayou will not let up next week In the hard work that he has mapped out for his team. The men will be driven hard In order to keep in shape for Purdue. Wabash stock went up when the score of the Michigan-Case contest was known. That Michigan could only beat Case 9 to 0 and four of those points on a field goal has led the fans to believe that Wabash has a good chance to win from the Wolverines.

Tomorrow they will start in to find out which is the better ball team, and the west side park will be tho place where the fun will go on. Hugbey Jennings heading his fine array of talent, and Frank Chance in the fore of a crowd of as good ball players as ever graced a diamond, taken as a team, will do battle.

Overall Is said to be a choice for the first game and just which one of tho staff Hughey will send against him is not known. No matter which one goes in the game should make history. Wednesday will see another game at Chicago, according to allotment, and the next three games will be played at Detroit. Then if necessary the Sunday game will be in Chicago, and if the series has not been decided by that time the place for the deciding game will be fixed by the national commission. Both teams have confidence in their ability to win.

Near ly every person has a decided opinion at this time on the merits of the teams but from this neck In the woods it looks to me like a final win for Detroit. I cannot see how the pitchers of the Cubs are going to hold down b-irh sluggers, although they are very fast twlrlers. Even If it comes to a slugging bee between the two teams the tigers ought to pull out. Then I look for some good pitching from the Tiger quartet. JuBt to make it a close finish the Tigers gave away two games to St.

Louis syesterday. A number of substitutes were sent in and a couple of unknowns twirled. Hughey himself played in the first and was there with the fielding and a fine two bagger. Bobby Lowe also acquitted himself with credit, getting three lilts In the two games. Artie Hofman was Injured yesterday In the games with the St.

Louis team yesterday and he may be out of the world's series championships. He twisted his ankle sliding to third. A Story for Young Folks By MARION HEA1H TiKEMAN that not one of the children had per ished, although it was at first sup-loosed several had met death when the roof caved in. The excitement had left Marnie la a very weakened condition, and the smoke she had inhaled made her quite ill. Marshall insisted upon having her taken to a private hospi tal where she would be given the best of care for a few days, before she returned to the school.

But a pleasant surprise was await ing Marnie. On her last day at the hospital some callers were announced. "It is a gentleman and a lady and a young girl" the nurse said. "Ther did not give their names, but asked It you were able to see visiters. I told them 1 thought you were, but ould inquire first If you cared to druit them.

"Who can it be?" wondered Marnie, as she waited for her callers to appear. When she cried "come la!" In re-sionse to a low tap on tho door, the latter was thrown open and who should appear but Mr. and Mrs. Methven and Doris! "It is worth suffering all I have gone through, Jut for this." said Marnie after the first greetings were over. Dorta was equally overjoyed at seeing Marnie once more and Mrs, Methven.

with scarcely a trace of the illness to which Doris had referred In the letter, kissed Marnie fondly, and putting her ana about ber as she sat up la bed. propped with pillow, she said: "My poor dear girl, what a lot you have been through since we saw you. and how nobly you have acted." Marnie flushed with pleasure. Mr. Methven, too, had lots of kind words for her, and before leaving he had made all tho.

arrangements to have her transferred on that very day to his own home. Doris stayed with Marnie until the carriage arrived for her and during the Interval she told of the wonderful change that had been wrought la her mother's condition. "It was not two days a Her I wrote to you last," she said "before mam-me began to pick up. She suddenly became more cheerful and on the third day she announced that she wanted to come home. She said she knew that someone needed her here, and yet she did not seem to worry.

Papa and 1 were delighted, but hardly dared believe she would continue in this cheerful frame of mind. "However, papa cabled Marshall that we were about to return and when we reached0 New York, we found a letter awaiting us, telling about the burning of the asylum and of what you had done and of your present illness. We got home papers in New York and when we read the accounts of your and Marshall bravery, we were very proud of both of you." "Had It not been for Marshall. I would not have been alive today," declared Marnie. "He Is the bravest and best young man, I believe, that ever lived." And then for some reason, a wave of color swept Into Mamie's pale cheeks, but Doris did cot notice It.

or If she did, she gave no evidence ofthe fact. "As soon as mamma had read the letter from Marshal," Doris continued, "she sail: I knew someone needed me at And we had only Just reached town when she suggested calling on you, and having you over at our house until things at the asylum were somewhat settled. The nurse announced that the carriage bad arrived, and' Marnie was helped to dress, and In less than an hour she found herself the inmate of one of the most luxurious chambers of the Methven mansion, with a trained nurse to wait upon her, and best of all, with kind friends all about to anticipate her slightest wish. CHAPTER XXXVHL Mamie's Illness lasted longer than she had anticipated and she was laid up In all two weeks, including the four or five days she spent at the hospital. But as she often afterwards declared she never before nor since enjoyed more solid comfort in the same length of time.

To Marnie who had scarcely known Illness, save for the time she had the scarlet fever, there was something very comfortable about being propped up in pillows and receiving the thousand and one attention her companionable nurse paid her. to say nothing of the kindly aces of Mrs. Methven and Doris.

The Hammond football team won their initial game yesterday afternoon at Harrison Park by defeating the Hegewisch team by the score of 11 to 0. The game throughout was char acterlzed by the fast playing of Hammond and the poor defense shown by the Hegewisch aggregation. It was called at 3 o'clock sharp, Hammond kicking oft to Hegewisch. The local boys then held the visiting team down and "Big Bill" Edwards was pushed across the line for the first touchdown, Heiser kicked goal, score 6 to 0. The men lined up again and Ports kicked the ball to the wisch team ten yard line, Meyer caught the plk skin and advanced it twenty yards before he was tackled by Gelb, the Hammond captain.

The visiting team failed to make their ten yard gain and the ball went over to Hammond. This time Heiser, the Hammond quarter, made a long quar terback run taking the ball within ten yards of the Hegewisch goal. Smith was given the ball and by good Interference took the ball for the second touchdown. Heiser failed to kick goal. Score 11 to 0.

After 'making the two touchdowns the local team loafed during the re mainder of the game content with their 11 points. game was played in 15 and 20 minute halves.

Kingsland. VALPO TEAM IS SOFT Hammond High School Trims Valparaiso by Score of 31 to 0. Hammond high school 31, Valpa raiso high school 0. Although that was the score, it does not begin to tell the story of the game. In Just a few words, there was nothing to it, the local eleven romped through the Valparaiso line or around their ends at will, and if the boys had cared to ex ert themselves the score could have been run up to 60.

Coach Allee of the Hammond team was well pleased with the game and said that there seemed to be no doubt but what Hammond would do well this season. The game started by Hammond kicking off to Valparaiso, Wilson caught the ball, which he advanced twenty-flve yards before he was tackled by Eb-ert, Hammond's left tackle. The Valparaiso team went through for their first ten yards but after that gain, the local team held, and secured the ball. Summers then tried a long end run and advanced the ball ten yards before he was tackled. The half back were sent through the line for small gains until the ball was on Valpo's ten yard line when Elliott was sent around right end for the first touchdown.

Hunter then kicked goal, score 6 to 0. Hammond again kicked off to Val paraiso and on a fumble by one of the Valparaiso backs, Quigg captured the ball and after a series of end runs he was again given the ball and went OIL. across for the second five points. Hunter duplicated his performance by kicking goal. Score 13 to 0.

After the goal had been kicked the team was Just ready to kick off for the third time, when time was railed. In the second half tike local boys piled up 19 more points and the game ended with the score 31 to 0 In favor of the Hammond high school. The local boys are profuse in their praise of tho treatment they received at the hands of the Valparaiso team. A return game will be played with the Valpo team on Thanksgiving Day.

INDIANA JK, GAME DePauw Boys Score Nine Points However, and Put Up Plucky Gome. (Special to Lake County Times.) Oreencastlo, Ind. The De Pauw university football team and a large number of rooters journeyed to Bloomington laet Saturday where they clashed with the Indiana foot ball eleven. The Indiunu university team won the contest with tho score of twenty-five to nine but this does not tell the whole tale. Indiana won and yet she was defeated, for she had expected to beat the Methodists by a much larger score, as she defeated them last year to the tune of fifty-five to nothing.

The Methodists have a strong team this year and are confident that if met Indiana later on in the season that they could give her a harder contest than they did. De Pauw showed poor form in the first half, when they let Indiana score two touch-downs and two place kicks, to their one touch-down. But in the last half they played as good if not better game than tho state school team. The score this" half was six to four in favor of Indiana. The game was called at three thirty.

Indiana kicked to De Pauw who carried the ball back twenty yards, after one or two plays the ball was lost on a fumble and Indiana smashed through the visitors line for a touch-down. Cart-wright going over with the ball. They failed to kick goal," score five to nothing. After an exchange of punts Indiana got the ball' on the thirty-five yard line and Krutzsch booted over a beautiful place kick, score Indiana nine De Pauw nothing. Indiana now received the ball and by a series of plays carried it to within a yard of the goal lines where they were held for downs.

De Pauw kicked oft from the twenty-flve yard line, Indiana could not ad vance the ball so Krutzsch tried another place kick, score now being thirteen to nothing. Indiana received the kick, but were held for downs on De Pauw's five yard line. Dewey's punt hit the cross bar of the goal posts and Weymire of Indiana dropped on It for a touch-down. Krutzsch kicked goal, score Indiana, nineteen. De Pauw nothing.

The Methodists were fighting fiercely and after an exchange of punts secured the ball on the thirty-five yard line. Captain Tucker grabbed the ball "on a forward pass and ran for De Pauw's first score. Tucker failed to kick ioal. No more scoring was done during first half, the final score being, Indlai.a nineteen, De Pauw five. Last Half Hard Foogbt.

De Pauw went in hammer and tongs, the last half and played Indiana off her feet for a time, securing their only score of the half on a place kick by Captain Tucker. Indiana carried the pigskin to within one yard of De Pauw's goal time after time only to be held for downs. With but two minutes to play Indiana got the ball on the twenty-flve yard line and sent Cart-wright smashing through for gains of five yards at a clip for the last touch down of the game, Krutzsch kicked goal, score Indiana twenty-five, De Pauw nine. Captain Tucker the Star of the Game. Captain Tucker of De Pauw was the star of the contest, his wonderful work netting all of the points for Coach Brown's men.

His tearing through and circling ends on offence and tacking like a fiend, were sights to please any lover of foot balL He will probably make the all state team this year. Coach Brown Well Pleased.

It all came out in the newspapers the next day and Marshall Merrle-weather was the hero of the hour. His picture arpeared in large size In all the papers, showing him in his military cap and cape coat.

It was a mystery to Marshall how the papers got hold of his photograph, but it was evident they had done so as the cuts were enlarged copies from a group of his class. Hut if Marshall was a hero, Mar- nle was 110 less a heroine. Of her there were no photographs lit ex istence, for having their pictures taken was a luxury the orphan chil dren seldom if ever indulged In. Hut the enterprising newspapers were nothing daunted at this and in the absence of the Londa fide article. the artists made up their own ior traits of Marnie, allowing their fancy full rein.

I In some of the papers she was shown as fair-haired slender creature, with flowing curls, while one ait 1st depicted her as a grown woman, with her tresses bound into a coil on top of her head, and, arrayed in a low-necked ball-gown. Marshall heard afterwards that the artist who was responsible for this startling creation was intoxicated when he made the drawing, and lost his position the moment the eye of the managing editor detected the incongruity between the description of Marnie as a fourteen year-old orphan girl, and her get-up as portrayed in the alleged Hut the papers did not stop at printing what purported to be portraits of the principal personages of the fire. They had hair-raising pictures represting Marshall with Mar nie In his arms, and others showing Marnie herself in the act of letting Bertha Baker oue of the window by means of the pulley and rope. The story of the fire had been faithfully told as to general detail In almost all of the papers, whose re porters had interviewed both Mar thall and Mamie's bravery and cool headness. The papers told how Marshall.

upon entering the burning building after he had Iain unconscious in the grass for a few minutes, was Just ahead of the crash when the forward portion of the roof caved in. Those who had seen him enter had given him up for lost and his escape was little less than a miracle. He had heard the crashing of the timbers immediately over his head and by a bound Just cleared that part of the floor which was carried down with the falling debris from overhead, as the roof and Intervening floors plunged downward. The rear stairs had not yet been touched by the flames, and up them Marshall groped his way blindly, not knowing where to look for Marnie. Cut kindly providence guided his footsteps, for after searching on the other stories, and calling to Marnie.

he reached the fourth floor Just In time to hear her call his name. It was his entrance that had caused the rush of flames into the empty lumber room and It waa that Marnie had fainted without realizing that a deliverance was at hand. Before she Marshall had succeeded In attracting the attention of the firemen, for reinforcements had arrived and a lead of hose was being carried around to to the back of the building. Thus it came to pass that the rescuing ladder was raised, Just at the critical moment. In the meantime.

Bertha Baker had been discovered lying where she had fallen, and had been removed to the ambulance and taken thence to the hospital. Her injuries were pronounced not dangerous although quite painful. Mrs when she came to In the drug store in the early stages of the fire. Insisted upon returning to the asylum to try to aid In the rescue of her charges, hut was de tered by those about her, who told her the firemen had arrived and were doing everything in their power to save the children. ine neighboring bouses were thrown open to the use of the home- lees orphans who could not be cared for In the other asylums, and within a day or two the directors had found a temporary dwelling of their own for all the children.

When the heads were counted the morning after the fire. It was found J.OO $1.60 ONE CENT 11.138 appointee, namely, the Secretary of Agriculture, the power to close the packing-houses of Chicago on his mere say so, and to keep them closed until the owners could secure a decision by the due and laborious process of tho courts. In the face of the president's public declarations that he would, or would if he could, put the Chicago packers in the penitentiary, their struggle to pro tect themselves from arbitrary execu tive orders was regarded, and regarded rightly, as a struggle of life and death And when one thinks of the vast resources and material power in the hands of the Chicago packers, when one contemplates the apprehension and des peration with which they viewed a struggle with a Department of Agricul ture armed with despotic power, it is easy to realize what chance one ordi nary stock company of the 750,000 would have before the upraised hand of executive power in Washington, if ever the president's era of universal execu tive control and regulation should over whelm us. Why does the president seek to make the president of the United States the absolute lord over industrial life and death? Why does he deem it wise to give one American citizen the ability to reach into every nook and cranny of this country's commerce and finance, to compel homage or support from every man of power between the Atlantic and Pacific, to smite all opponents back into impotence and beggary, to raise all friends into wealth and power, and thus to constitute, if he have but the will, a self-perpetuating regime which all the parties and party organizations that the country has ever seen would not be powerful enough to overflow which would, in fact, realize here in the United States, a despotism of which a Russian Czar never dreamed for the simple reason that he did not have in his dominion any such machine as that which the federal control and regulation of 750,000 ccrporations would place absolutely and irrevocably in the hands of the chief executive? The president answers this question. Ir is to arrest or anticipate or prevent "industrial chaos." "Industrial chaos!" Ominous phrase not because the evils of industrial life today are really due to industrial chaos far from it.

Where they exist they are due rather to overorganization and it needs but a statement of the fact for the truth to.be recognized. But "industrial chaos" is a phrase which, from the mouth of a president of the United States, must strike a chill to the heart of every man who knows the origin, growth and maturity of modern socialism. "Industrial chaos" was brought into the world of political agitation by Marx, Lassalle, Engels and Rodbertus, the socialists who, half a century ago, founded and fathered the militant socialism of the Europe of today. The phrase has come down from one generation of socialists to another, always the shibboleth of those who would turn the constitutional liberty of modern times into the compact slavery of the socialistic state. And the same words today roll from the lips of a president of the United States, and for the same purpose, namely, to justify the transformation of In dustrial liberty into industrial servi tude, and the sacrifice of all the ideals of constitutional freedom on the altar of an Industrial despotism.

"Industrial chaos!" The phrase has been bandied about by every socialist agitator in Europe from Engels to Llebknecht. from Marx to Bebel, from Lassalle to Jaures bandied about as an excuse for disrupting the whole present order of society, as a pretext for upsetting the whole financial and commercial system of today. And now it comes with authority from the lips of the president of the United States as his justification of a plan which would abolllsh the republic within twenty-five years, bow the necks of 100,000,000 Americans before the face of one autocrat in Washington and turn the United States of North America into a civilized wilderness no nation at all, but only a wreck of a socialist's dream. After contemplating such a monstrous proposition, it is difficult to realize why this nation was once aroused by the Granger movement, by the greenback campaign or by the free silver agitation of William Jennings Bryan. How trivial, by comparison, today seems a proposal to give the nation a 50 cent dollar or printing-press monejU How infantile the proportion of such a proposition which would merely throw the country into hard times, when compared with a proposition which, if realized, would abolish the republic, personal liberty, individual initiative, personal success and personal ambition, and leave us, the people of the United States, with nothing but two wreckstrewn shores, and ruin complete industrial ruin stretching out between.

Chicago Inter Ocean, Republic or Despotism Which? In addressing the peop'e of St. Louis on Tuesday, President Roosevelt advocated the national control and regulation of Interstate railways. He advocated also the national control and regulation of industrial corporations or stock companies which do an Interstate business. As an illustration and precedent of these policies, he pointed to the government's control and regulation of the national banks. Never before within our recollection, has -such a sweeping declaration come from a president of the United States In times of peace.

Never has a graver issue been presented by an American president even in times of war. Regulate and control all the inter-' state railroads! Regulate and control all the Industrial stock companies do- lng an Interstate business! Regulate control each, and both classes, after the manner in which the national banks are regulated and controlled by the federal government today! "What does this mean? In Illinois alone, some 25,000 stock companies are doing business today. the whole United States, the number such companies hardly falls below a million. How many of these do an in-- terstate business, and, therefore, come i under, the president's plan of control and regulation from "Washington? According to the president's Idea, the number must be at least three-fourths of the total. For, as was set forth in the Roosevelt-Beverldge child labor bill, and was expounded at length in the Senate by the senator from Indiana, all factories producing articles which are exported beyond state lines are to be regarded as subject to federal control and regulation under the interstate commerce clause of the constitution.

Think of it! Seven hundred and fifty thousand stock companies, transacting practically three-fourths of the business of the United States, to be licensed regulated and controlled, even to a listing of their stock, by a department at "Washington! Seven hundred and fifty thousand stock companies to be examined by federal examiners, to be inspected by federal inspectors, to be picked and chosen for reprobation, dictation, or extermination by federal officials, and to be supervised or administered after the manner of a national bank In case of insolvency! Think of it! There are only 6,500 national banks In the United States! There are 750,000 stock companies subject to the operation of this gigantic plan! An army of Inspectors, examiners and receivers, as large as the standing army of the United States! A bureau In "Washington as large as the pension office and the Army and Navy departments combined! Tens of thousands of men and tens of millions of money and such a vest and Intricate machinery as no country on earth has even ventured, to approach for Its every purpose or all purposes combined! Yet how trivial these causes as compared with their effect! By means of this vast machinery, this standing army of inspectors, this plentitude of governmental power In "Washington, any president in the "White House would be able to reach his hand to the uttermost part of the United States, place his Index finger upon any crossroads stock epm-pany that might exist in the smallest hamlet, and decree, as the comptroller of the currency today decrees, whether this American citizen or that American citizen should continue in business or should be plunged into bankruptcy and ruin. "But the courts." some one may say. The reply is too apparent. To a busl- ness man whose going concern has been crushed before his eyes by a government order, a court offers nothing I but Justice only justice and nothing-more, for no suit for damages can lie against the government of the United States. He may walk from a federal court with his vindication In his hand, but will still bear on his brow the stamp of financial ruin.

Is this fancy? Is this a far-sought example? Alas, no. We have only to packers of Chicago to realize that the concentration of such stupendous power In the hands of the central government, that the possibility, yes, the probability of its being exerted In the manner In question, has been not only contemplated, but has been specifically intend ed by the president on the lines laid down in his St. Louis speech. Any" man who will look back to the history of the tneat inspection bill will recall that the conflict which raged around that measure, between the pres-Irfpnl of the United States th House of Representatives, did not turn on the question of a closer federal Inspection or the payment of the cost of that inspection. It turned on the Issue whether or not there should be vested by law In the hands of the president's FINAL STANDING OF TEAMS COMPARED WITH LAST YEAR.
