THE GIBRALTER
OF THE PACIFIC

The United States has taken up in !
earnest the work of defending Ha-
wall The strategic importance of this |
key to the Pacific" was never so
clearly seen as in the lIg pf possible |
conflict with Japan. When the de-
fenseless condition of this important
point was presented vigorously and the
danger to the Pacific Coast empha-
sized. Congress made liberal appro-
priations. The Navy and War depart
ments have begun work with unusual
Ipromptness, and the enterprise is al
ready well under way.
Hawaii is to be made the Gibraltar
of the Pacific Not only have the
Army garrisons been largely increas-
ed and the building of strong fortiica-
tons begun, but the Navy is to con-
struct at Pearl harbor one of it's most
important stations. Those who have
not been keeping in close touch with
events were surprised this week when
the acting Secretary of the Navy adj
vertised for bids for constructing at
Pearl harbor the largest dry dock in
the world. This dock will be large
enough to contain not only any battle
ship now ahoat, but any that is likely
to be built in the next twenty years.
1t is to be 1926 feet long, 35 feet deep
and 40 feet wide, and is to be built
in sections, so that two ships may use
part of il at the same time. This dock
will be capable of caring for any ship
i'm the Navy.
This great dock Is to be the central
feature of one of the best equipped Of
navy yards, I'm which ships may be
cleaned and repaired without making
the long voyage to the Mare Island
Yard on the California coast. The
S4.0O0,O0O appropriated by Congress at
its last session doubtless will be sup

PETITIONS TO BOOST
A CAPABLE CITIZEN
Friends Want Henry w. Lee
as Trustee For the SAM
tary District.
KNOWS The REGIONS NEEDS
Is Father of the Lake Calumet Pro-
ject and Is Advocating the
Calumet Canal.

Primary petitions are now being cir
culated for the nomination of Henry
w. Lee as trustee for the sanitary
district of Chicago, on the republican
ticket. The petitions are being cir
culated extensively throughout the
Calumet district so far the man is
getting the unlimited support of the
voters.
The voters of the Calumet region,
including Riverdale Harvey and Blue
Island. feel that this district is en-
titled to a representative on the board
and as Mr.. Lee is the father of the
Lake Calumet harbor project he seems
to be the best man for the position.
The friends of Mr. Lee, who are adj
vocating his nomination, feel that he
is qualified for the position by the
virtue of his knowledge of the Calu-
met district and past work he has done
while serving the city in the capacity
of division engineer, who several years
ago put in several sewers in the
Calumet district
Mr.. Lee has been pushing and ad-
vocating the s12.000,000 Calumet canal
and at the present time the govern
ment officials are considering the mat

ty-ninth street, they are up in arms
TO have this nuisance stopped. The
only plausible remedy is the Calumet

Mr.. Lee some time ago appeared be-
fore Mayor Buses harbor commission

Mr.. Lee is a director in the Calumet
Deep Waterways association and was
an active member of the Calumet SAM
tary canal association that effected the
annexation of South Chicago to the
Sanitary district. Previous to the
time Of the annexation the sanitary
district extended only to Eighty-sev-
enth street, but it now takes in every
thing south including Hegewisch, Har-
vey and Riverdale.

Judge watson's Opinion.


The appellate court holds that this
illness was no justification for re-
fusal to surrender the farm, even
though he might lawfully have refused
to take his wife away after the sur
render. Judge Watson said: There
is a clear distinction between appel
lees duty to give possession of the
leased premises and the question
whether the sick person must be re-
moved therefrom. The case
of Herter VS.. Mullen, 159 n. Y, %, IL
Illustrates this distinction. The ques-
ton there was whether leaving a sick
member of the tenants family in one
room of the dwelling constituted a
holding over by the tenant, so that the
landlord could recover a years rent.
The court held that it was question
for the jury whether, under such a
state of facts. there was in truth a
holding over by the tenant.
The principle there involved is not
applicable to this case where the
holding over as an act is admitted,
but sickness of members of the ten
ants family is alleged as an excuse
therefor. However much our
moral sensibilities may be shocked by
an action of this kind. under the facts
alleged it can not affect the legal rights
defined by statute" -

APPELLATES COURT
IMPORTANT RULING

The appellate court today decided
that serious illness of the wife of a
farm tenant so that she could not be
removed from the house without dang
err to her life, did not excuse her hus-
band from the legal duty to surrend-
er possession of the farm, even though
it might excuse him from the duty
to remove her from the house.

rented until the 1st day of February
and had rented another farm for the
next year, of which he was to have
possession on the 1st day of March.
He waited until Feb % to move
away from Gifford's farm, and in the
meantime kept possession and used the
house and surrounding grounds, with
the stable, bar lots, pasture, and some
of the fields. When Clifford sued for
possession and damages Bingham ans

their lives.

TO CELEBRATE CENTENARY.

Paris June 6-The famous French
military school of st. Cyr, founded by
Napoleon, will be one hundred years
old tomorrow, and it is proposed to
celebrate the centennial in a notable
manner during the coming week. Re-
unions of the graduates, dress parades
of the cadets and historical exercises
will be features of the programme. AS
a permanent memorial of the centen-
NAL the war department has issued
golden book of the graduates. These
include five marshals of France, 100
generals and about 10000 officers of all
ranks. The records of these cover
practically the whole field of French
military glory
St Cyr usually has from TOO to 500
pupils and graduates about 400 officers
annually 1t is now run on lines re-
senbling those of the United States

REALTY SUIT
Deputy Sheriff James frost
Will Soon Have 1000
Summons to Serve.

Instead of taking vacation this
summer Deputy Sheriff James frost
will be compelled to serve summonses
on about 1000 defendants in another
suit which threatens to involve the
famous section ten in Gary.
Gertrude Cleveland is the plaintiff
who claims an equity in this property
and she is suing to quiet title. Her
claim was filed Jan. and she will be-
gin suit this summer.
Those who were compelled last year
to make a settlement with D. J. Moran.
who represented Mrs. Sommerville in
this case, will have to dig down again
in order to secure a clear title to the
land they have bought.
The people of Gary are getting tired
of trouble over titles and it has already
affected the sale of property to such
an extent that the real estate dealer
is now compelled to guarantee the IT,
tie before the purchaser will pay over
his money.
There is even In existence what is
known as the Clear Title Real Estate
company, which makes a speciality OF
their claim that the property they sell
is not in any way involved.

TAFT? ALMOST SURE
Real Fight of Chicago Con
vention Will be Over
Platform.

Washington, c., June Cit is be-
coming more and more evident that
the real fight of the Chicago cOnven-
ton Is to be over the platform. The
administration leaders here are entire
Iy mt a loss to understand the extensive
headquarters opened at Chicago in be-
half of the various candidates.
The nomination of Secretary Taft on
the first ballot seems particularly GER
tain now In view of the action of the
national committee in seating the Taft
delegates from Arkansas and Alabama.
The only possible hope of the Miles,
ns any man can see at a glance, must
lie in the seating OF large number
OF contestants. chiefly those from the
southern states. If Taft gets half OF
those sffu remaining I'm the balance his
nomination is certain on the first bal
lot.
There IS n growing belief that the
naafnfenance of headquarters on such
IN extensive scale is largely Influenced
By q determination ON the part OF the
srffE3af fnfsfratfen forces to line M
fhesr strength and make 1gl1f on the
pfafforn. The object Of this IL said ia
bs to reduce the Iaudaffen Of Roosevelt
to n minimum, but more particularly ia
refrain from making pledges for ths
future.

GARY MINSTREL SHOWS
SECOND PERFORMANCE

The attendance at the second per-
Torrance given by the Gary minstrel
club was even better attended than
the first. It was the opinion of those
who saw both shows that the sec
ond was by far the best.
If there was any reserve or stage
fright at the first entertainment, there
was little of it at the second and the
whole program was carried out with
out a hitch.
There were a number of new jokes
and the crowd which saw the second
show was as well pleased as the first.
The club is very well pleased with
their new venture and it has been a
financial success.
Today the minstrels are receiving
the congratulations Of their friends on
the uniformly good showing they have
made and there is an apparent effort
on the part of the whole people of
Gary to encourage the club in putting
on as creditable an entertainment as
they did last night.
Many from Hammond and Crown
Point attended.
