MANY FAVOR
The PROJECT
Location Could Not Be
Used for Any Other Pur-
pose But Civic.

THE TIMES story of the proposed
plans to use the present high school
building for city hall, devoting the
money that the municipal city of
Hammond would pay for the property
to the building of a manuel training
high school and incidentally make the
beginnings of beautiful civic center
of Hammond might well be proud has
aroused a great deal of interest in
this city.
There are some of the business men
who would like to see the present
school property devoted to business
purposes but they are free to admit
that there Is no capitalist or group of
capitalists who would pay between
s175,oo0 and 100000, what the
school property is worth, spend an
other $250,000 in improving the
property and then make the invest
ment pay. 8
WOULD No4PA4 -
An investor would expect an imuedi-
ate return of at least 10 per cent gross
on an investment of that character and
that would make 1t necessary for the
property to bring in a revenue of at
least $4,000 annually
Assuming that each of the five fifty
foot stores on Holman street would
bring in $500 month. that would be
only 1000 year. assuming that
theater In the rear of the property
would bring in $4,000 a year, assum-
ing that the rent of offices on the sec,
ond floor would bring in $4,000
year and the rent OF offices on the third
floor would bring in $4,000 year., the
total gross revenue from the building
would be only $4,000 a year
And these are all liberal assumptions
1t is not at all certain that all of the
bufling could be rented at these fig
ures- This makes it apparent that the
most optimistic view that a private
investor could take of the situation

PEERS MERIT PLAN
ROSEBERY'S SPEECH,
Elections Nay Be Deferred
NaUaI Estimates Defended.
rBy Cable to The Tribune !

London. March 1.-THE debate opened
by Lord Rosebery to-day in a thought
full and judicious, rather than a brilliant.
speech is likely to proceed at intervals
until the general elections come on. It
will enable the Lords to stave off the
consideration Of the veto resolutions be-
yond the period for which the ministers
are providing supplies.
The younger peers do not want to be
legislated out of existence by their own
class It was common gossip in the gall
leries that the reform scheme when
completed would enable the inexperi-
enced peers to stand for the Commons
at their own discretion and claim mem
bership in the upper house subsequently
by order OF merit, without the necessity
for an election as representative peers.
There il now a strong probability that
the general elections Will be deferred
from May 10 July after supplies have
been renewed, resolutions substituted
for last years budget, the land and ex-
else sections sacrificed and the veto
tabled by the Lords.

Remarks at Boston.

Boston, March 14.-"Brinlstone Corner"
as Park Street Church has been known To-
calIy for many years, burst into flame again
today at n fiery debate between John
Spargo, d socialist lecturer, and the Rev.
DR.. a Z. Conrad. the pastor of the church.
The spark which aroused Mr.. Conrad was
Mr.. SparEo's declaration that The Church
has always betrayed the wOrkingman, that
il does not represent the great truths for
which Christ stood. but that it had prosti-
tu,ed itself for the sake Of worldly advan-
Cages. Dr. Conrad Ieaped to the pulpit and
passionateIy announced that he would not
allow such insinuations to be made without
answer.
The warrnest friend of the wor<tngnan
to-day is the Church of God" said Or. Con-
rad, and denounce the statements made
by Mr.. SpargO in behalf Of this church and
all other churches The Church Is not 10

BODY OF men She is right on all the ques-
items which we have heard discussed"
The Rev. J. H Perry. of the Warren Ave

side OF the debate. When the audience fled
out there was a division, half stopping 10
shake hands with DIT. Conrad While the
other half congratulated Mr.. Spargo.

BEGS WAY TO BANK
Then, Dying, Miser LeaUes
so, 900 To Be Fought For.

For many years Samuel Rogers was
we'll known figure TO the people Of Long
Branch and nearby towns in New Jersey
They knew him as a poor. homeless old
man, without friend or kin. who kept his
emaciated body going through performing
odd jobs. and when these were few by
begging his way through life often
dressed in his rags and burlap foot cover
ing. he would beg his Way IN New York.
No one knew the mission that called him
to the metropolis except Rogers. and he
told-no one. Rogers died on January II
at the home Of Mrs Catherine H Tona. at
Long Branch. Mrs Toma. who ran a
bakery. had been one Of his benefaCtors
and saw to IL that he was properly buried
He was sixty-three years old when he died
On the calendar of the Supreme Court
yesterday there was an action entitled
Catherine A. Toma against the irving Saw
ings Institution. The plaintiff asked that
$4,000 on deposit in the bank be placed to
her credit. This money, IT developed, repre-
sented part of $4,000 that Rogers, sup
posedly INDECENT, left on deposit in New
York savings banks On those secret trips
when he begged his way 10 this city il vn'
to add 70 his hoard the money that he had
begged and worked for.

his death she said Rogers signed over 70

sritution. amounting 10 10000 The only
witness TO the assignment was John Cava-
ragh. a boarder at the Toma home But
there have appeared Edward and Agnes
Rogers. brother and sister OF the dead
rriser. who claim the estate and oppose the
transfer Of the $4,000 TO Mrs. Tona.
Something Of a sensation was sprung at
the trial Of the case yesterday IN the tes-
timony of Henry Spitz. who used 20 be called
the millionaire COP OF Union Hull y. T.
He gained some fame while ago by ar
resting John Barbuto. 4 notorious member
Of the Black Hand Spitz said that
Agnes Rogers had engaged him TO do some
detective work in connection with the al
legged assignment by her brother OF the
money to Mrs. Toma- He went % the lat

to SpitZ, according 10 his testimony that
The did not sign the assignment as a Wit
ness until the day after Rogers died. and
that he expected part OF the money Mrs
Tonla expected Spitz said that Cavanagh
expressed the opinion that if Rogers gave
away $4,000 he must have been crazy, as
he never knew him TO spend mora than five
cents, and that he borrowed rom him.

STORM OF CREDITORS
4ngry Cro50d Besieges Vacant
Soaring 6 Co. Offices.

Creditors of the failed banking house of
Soaring & Co besieged the former offices
OF the firm, at No. Wall street. yesterday.
following the publication OF a false rumor
that they were to be paid In full There
were more than hundred OF them. mostly
women from upper Harlem and The Bronx.
many OF whom had deposited nearly all
their savings with the firm.
There was much excitement among the
creditors when they were told that the
bankrupt firm was no longer tenant OF
the building. Finally, one OF the porters
remembered that the Delaware & Eastern
Railway Company. which was promoted by
Soaring & Co. and formerly had Offices with
the firm. had moved 10 No 10 Bridge street,
and he directed the crowd there. Off they
rushed to the new address, the women in
the lead. only to be told on their arrival
that the railway company had nothing to
do with the affairs of the failed bankers,
To pacify them the clerks suggested that
they go to the Office Of the receives of the
bankrupt firm. John S. Sheppard. jr.. at No.
&c Liberty street. Mr.. Sheppard informed
them that there was no truth in the rumor
about payment
II is said that as matters now stand
creditors OF the bankrupt firm will receive
only about 10 per cent of their claims 1t
has been reported that friends OF TIE two
members Of tho firm, f. +. Soaring and H.
NJ George. would come to their assistance
and enable them TO make a settlement in
fun with their creditors, but counsel for the
receiver said yesterday that he had not
heard OF such an arrangement. With the
exception of S.Oo0 in cash, most Of the
assets of the failed firm consist OF securi-
ties of the Delaware & Eastern railway
and railroad companies, both of which were
carried down with the firm and are of
problematicaI value at present.
