CONSPICUOUS FIGURE

Ascribes His SplendidH Health
to Love for Outdoor
Life
(By Associated Press)

Boston, Mass. April 3.---Dr Edward
Everett Hale, preacher. publicist and
man Of letters, was eighty-five years
old today. Since his appointment as
chaplain of the senate DR. Hale has
spent his winters in Washington but
his summers he continues to pass at
his home in Roxbury.
Despite his great age DR.. Hale is as
vigorous as he was quarter of a
century ago, ahd his mental faculties
are unimpaired. He Is a great lover
Of outdoor life and to this he at'ri-
butes in great measure his splendid
health in his old age.
In celebration of Dr. Hale's eighty
fifth birthday anniversary the Lend-a-
Hand society, which DR. Hale founded
is seeking to raise a fund Of $4,000
for the old age of its founder The
work is in charge OF an executive com
mittee of which Kidder, Peabody IL
Co, the Boston bankers, are the treas
urers. ii.

raise the moral standards of Amer
icans than has DR.. Hale He has been

teform ard rescue work both i'm Bos-
ton and in many other and distant
cites. From the time he received his
FIRST license to preach he has been a
conspicuous figure in all the most ad-
yanced forward movements in charity
and education.
DR.. Hale refuses to be called a
clergyman. He prefers 70 be designat-
ed only as a Christian minister The
title of Professor of Americanism" to
his generation has been aptly used in
referring to Or. Hale, and II perhaps
best describes his most conspicuous

Paul Stensland, the Chicago bank
wrecker, and the Asset Realization
Company of Chicago have surrender
ed TO the State OF Indiana p93 acres
of land along the Kankakee river in
Starke county that belonged TO the
state in the first place but had never
been claimed. The land was occu-
pied for several wears by Hugh Kreu-
ter. a squatter. who mortgaged it TO
Stensland. The latter then disposed
of it TO the Asset Realization Com
pany of Chicago.
Kreuter claimed the land along
with LOO acres adjacent to it which
he really owned. The entir 1898
acres were mortgaged for $4,000.
When the assets of the bank which
Stensland was charged with wreck
ing were sold 10 the Asset Realiza-
ton Company OF Chicago the mort
gage was sold as bank asset.

has not been claimed State Auditor

to sell the land and turn the pro-
ceeds OF the sale into the state treas
