FAMOUS SUIT IS
SETTLED At VALPO.
John Gartner and Henry
Soltwedel Feud is Over
at Last.
OWNERSHIP OF LOT INvOLv we'd
Case Originally Tried Before Judge
Tuthill In the Supreme
Court.

The famous suit for possession of lot
H. in Towle's addition, about which
John Gartner and Henry Soltwedel have
been having a legal controversy for
years, was finally settled last Saturday
in the Porter county circuit court at
Valparaiso, the jury finding for the
plaintiff.
The case was originally tried in the
Lake superior court at Hammond where
Judge Tuthill ruled in favor of Cart
ner.
Gartner claimed to lot by reason of
title from M. Towle and Soltwedel by
reason of adverse possession, claiming
that Towle sold it to him.
Had Threatened Violence.
The testimony showed that both the
would-be possessors threatened violence
to any attempting to occupy the lot
and that upon a certain occasion Cart
ner chopped down the fence surround
ong the lot.
The fight was holly contested be-
tween the two claimants, and is thought
to be ended now. The attorneys in the
case were McAleer Bros, for the plain
tiff and Stinson Bros and Kelly of VAL
paraiso for the defendant.
Secures a Settlement.
Attorney w. ]. McAleer also secured
settlement of the case brought by
Peter Keckic against the Lake Dredge
and Dock company. Keckic appeared
as administrator for Daniel Hudman
his nephew, who was killed while in the
employ of the company. The settlement
was made for $1,000 for the plaintiff.
Attorney w. ]. McAleer is in Crown
Point today representing the plaintiff In
the McGaffery case against the Ham
mond. Whiting e East Chicago Street
Railway company. This is a persona
injury case and is on trial for the sec
ond time.

HEARD ON THE B0URsE.

Josepr-Harriman issues are still
very good. Keep Long Union until it
passes $50. Reduction Bank England
rate expected on Thursday. Don't be
afraid to bull Amalgamater Copper and
Rock Issues. they will have their day.
Average Canadian Pacific and buy
Texas.
Topics-Union may rest a while
though 1t will likely advance still fur
Their on. At the same time such de-
velopments as the holding out of B. &
Q, April report, which is very bad, in
dictate underlying conditions less ia
vorable than the bulls would have us
believe. Conservatism is now advis-
able.
Burreli-We continue to feel conf
dent of our position in advising the
buying of wheat, especially of Sep
TENDER recessions.
Logan-Moderate supplies from other
exporting countries make it certain
that Europe must come to this side
with good buying orders for both old
and new crop wheat.
Buying of wheat by local traders
led by Skillen, Clifford, Press and Mick
ellis, caused a rally to SO. Offerings
were light. Commercial houses picked
up the cheap wheat on resting orders
Locals bought May corn. Bartlett
sold some on the bulges
Pringle-Wheat should be bought on
any further weakness should it occur
Ware & Leland-Should nothing de-
velop to impair the growing crop we
look for lower prices.
White-We continue to suggest sales
of wheat on every small rally.
Miller-We are believers in much
higher prices with Up as the leader
There is very large short interest in
st. Paul and we think it is apt to gel
full punishment In the not distant flu
ture.
| Financial Bureau-Bullish operations
are likely this morning with frequent
recessions,s The conservative position
is therefore still justified on part o.
the daily trader. Fair returns or
bulges should not be refused no
CHARGES to buy for a turn when re.
actions appear.
Brown-With improving outlook ii
politics and continued ease In money
the way seems clear for still furthe
rise in prices.

Uncle Sam Tells How to Make Pure Pies

portant studies of the methods of
manufacture and preservation of f0Ssds
and drugs were the bleached flour tn
vestigation, the lemon oil invest&ga-
ton, the whisky investigation and She
investigation of nonfermented be:er-
ages alleged to contain cocaine or
other Objectionable drugs.
The experimental work of the BAL
reau of chemistry, the enforcement Of
the federal food and drugs act, numeS-
Gus Investigations and the part played
by various states in the enactment et
laws regulating the manufacture and
sale of foods are some of the subjects
treated in the book. During the year,
out of Al legislatures which met, 40
enacted laws relating to the purity OF
foods.
The bureau of Chemistry established
ten additional branch laboratories
throughout the country, where sam
pies of food and drugs collected by in
spectors under the direction of chief
inspector are sent. During last year
7,041 samples of foods and drugs were
sent to these laboratories, resulting in
1923 hearings and the transmittal of Il
criminal cases to the department OF
justice for prosecution. One of the
greatest difficulties encountered was
to secure a sufficient number of in
spectors or chemists possessing the
requisite training and experience in
foods and drugs.

D ROGRESS made in food and drug
inspection and legislation during
1907 is explained in detail in the year
book of the department of agriculture,
just issued. The book shows that
methods of manufacture were studied
by government experts and whenever
possible assistance was given manu-
facturers in improving their methods.
By means of sterilization it was found
that various fruit and vegetable prod
ucts can be preserved without the
use of chemical preservatives. The
experiments along this line resulted in
new methods for the preservation of
pie-filling articles and canned goods.
Extensive investigations as to the
use Of sulphur for drying fruit were
made, resulting in the discovery of
better methods for drying fruit and in
disclosing the fact that molasses and
syrup do not contain so much sulphur
as has generally been supposed.

NHR. MASANO HANIHARA, second
IVA secretary of the Japanese embas-
sy and a social favorite of the diplo-
matte corps, was so severely injured
from the result of his daring rescue
of an American woman from a run
away horse that he may suffer the
consequences for the remainder of his
life. The Japanese diplomat was bat
tered and bruised and had his foot
so badly crushed by the horses hoof
that it will be months before it is
healed. The rescue occurred some
days ago.
Mr.. Hanihara was walking along
Rhode Island avenue on his way to
the embassy and had started to cross
the street when his attention was at
tracted by cries of Look Quit" by
several persons IN the vicinity. Turn
ing he saw a horse drawing a light
runabout with a young woman and
a companion dashing toward him. The

horse was plunging wildly from side
to side, driving every one pell nell for
shelter as it neared the spot where
Mr.. Hanihara stood. The young
Japanese, who stands about five feet
and is small in proportion, lodged out
of the way, but no sooner had the
horse come abreast of him than he
made a leap for the bride. The ter
rife speed of the enraged animal
made him miss his hold and swung
him under the horses hoofs, but be-
fore he completely lost his hold he
caught grip on the bride and swing
ing clear managed to climb on the

When Mr.. Hanihara reached the

The Wants Of the ARMY

The duke of Connaught is telling an
amusing story of his recent
visit of inspection to Egypt.
While he was in Cairo he
went for a stroll one morning, and
on his way back to his quarters he
came face to face with an old English
man wearing the ribbon of the Indian
mutiny or his breast. The duke
stopped and spoke to the man about
his military service for some little
time
Presently the man said, not knowing
of course, to whom he was speaking:
Are you in the army yourself, then,
sir?''
The duke smiled and admitted that
he was.
Getting on all right?" was the next
question.
The duke smiled again and said that
he had not very much to grumble at
on the whole, though perhaps he was
not doing quite so well as ne could
wish.
No. and you never viii. my boy"
was the surprising retort of the vet
eran. What you want in the army
to-day is either brains or a tremen-
dous amount of influence behind you
You take my Tip. old chap. and chuck
it.'zBoston Herald.
