Future.

In anticipation of the location Of
the Schlesinger steel plant on the
north side, in Hammond. and in accord
ance with one of the stipulatfons for
the building of the plant. the Hammond
board of public works yesterdays
promptly took steps to vaeate One
Hundred and Forty first street from
Calumet ave. east to the citylimits As
a public highway the street would di-
vide the land purchased by the Schles-
niger people. and consequently it was
vacated.
Incidentally Attorney l. l. Dent rep
resenting the East Chicago Co, from
whom the land was purchased, inti-
mated that the East Chicago Co. itself
is no longer opposed to the opening and
widening of Calumet avenue but that
it will continue its remonstrance be-
fore the board in behalf of the Schles-
niger people until such time as the
city and the new company shall come
to an understanding about the benefits
and damages growing out of the inn
provement The members of the board
are optimistic about the outcome, how
ever, on the theory that the opening
of Calumet avenue will be desired by
the new owners of the land. because it

tects work without competitive bid
ding. to j. T. Hutton and afterwards
let the contract for the construction
of the building to Caldwell & Drake.
It was Caldwell & Drake who built
the Lake superior court house and
turned out a job that was so inferior
that it was afterwards necessary TO
spend nearly 100000 remodeling the
building.
Consequently when the school let the
contract for the school house to the
same firm. after Eric Lund. the lowest
bidder. had withdrawn his bid. public
Indignation was aroused.
BOARD ENJoINED.
A committee OF citizens enjoined the
board from proceedings with their
plans to build the new building. The
case was tried before Special Judge
Frank Pattee, who decided against the
school board.
The case was appealed to the SUI
preme court of the state, and 1t is this
decision that is SO eagerly awaited II
the supreme court decides that the
school board had no legal right to pro-
ceed with the building OF the school
the contract whit Caldwell & Drake
will be null and void.
If ii decides that the school board
xas within its legal rights in the mat
ter then Caldwell & Drake will proceed
with the construction of the school
building.
The case Is exceedingly important
from many viewpoints. Caldwell &
Drake secured an option on the prop
erty which is now occupied by the

New York. May 14.-When Clarence

Avis Linnell. was condemned to death
lit was reported that his fancee, Vio-
let Edmonds intended to take up set
tlement work in some of the more
jcongested districts of New York City
Miss Edmonds did not deny this re-
port. nor did anyone else in her be-
half.
Now a veil of mystery has been
thrown around the identity of Miss
Edwards" one of the workers in the
Gods Providence House, in Broone
street by the officials in charge OF
the mission. According to stories
published in Boston, the Miss Ed
wards" who has been working among
the children in the Bowery Mission IS

All efforts to obtain any informa-
ton regarding Miss Edmonds" at the
mission have ben met by the reply.
Please don't annoy us any further.

tion of the Disciples of Christ in In

tian Church today and tomorrow.

And amid throughout the heated
sessions that tax the minds of laymen

and complicated system of entertain

borrowed Insurgents are being ar
rayed against conservatives Questions
of church government are being
handled as ruthlessly as the issues nf

gates and six hundred local members.

but its application and presentation
should be modernized. 1t was his
, plea that the appeal be made more
liberal and stronger.

balance of the evening was devoted 10

ment.
