Citizens OF several nationalities gath
cred 70 protest against the excessive
cost of the 1921. 900 sewer, known as
district sewer number 81 which Is
being installed in the river bottoms
between Georgia and Main streets, in
Tolleston. There are very few homes
in this district and last night 100 rep
resentatives of over 1000 lot owners
met to voice their objection to the high
cost and the unequal assessments. The
sewer is being built by the Illinois I'M
provement and Ballast company, of
which Cy Howell Is president. This
company also got from Tom Knots and
his board of public works the Ridge
road sewer job for $4,000, when COM
petent engineers hired by the board of
works stated that the cost should not
exceed s235,000. Several steel corpora

few days ago.
The word had come to East Chicago
that the Nive auto bandits might be in
this city, and the police were asked to
keep lookout for them. At $50 o'clock
officer McKenna spotted hard-loolsing

up to the group and seized one of them
by the arm and told him he was I'M

millionaire. is not assessed at ALL The
city administration answers that this
property is two blocks south of the

WASHINGTON, March 25.-An-
nouncement of the appointment of
Hugh NJ. Smith to be United States

made at the White House in a short
time. 1t is understood that MIR. Smith,
who is now assistant commissioner.

pointment.
For a long time the fish commits
sionership has been regarded as one
of the best jobs in the government
service in Washington. The salary
Is $4,000, and the commissioner has
a private car in which he can travel.
Secretary Redfield is said to be de-
termined that the bureau of fisheries
shall figure in the attack on the
problem of the high cost of living
to be made by this administration.
Re believes the bureau should pay
less attention to the study of methods
of propagating game fish, and give
more study to the food fish problem.

After Il free discussion of more than

luton was adopted at a mass meet
ing last night in the schoolhouse ask
ing Judge r. Carter Scott to order a
special election
Several of the citizens of the town
showed opposition to the plan. among
them being Captain A. G, Quarles and
w G. Wingfield. They based their
opposition on the grounds that it
would affect annexation with Rich
mond, and also that they thought the
town not in a position to issue any
more bonds, already having 100000
worth out. Despite this opposition
the plan was carried by seven Fights
majority.
a copy of the resolution will be
presented to Judge Scott as soon as
it can be gotten into shape. 1t will
ask that the election be called as soon
as possible.
Should the issue pass the money
obtained will be used in Identifying
the suburb. There are a number Of
needed improvements, among them
being the park. This square could be

Campaigns of 1852. given us by Cap-

these campaigns, and in his book
against misunderstanding and ''villi-

ed for the failure of the campaign
and the author does not spare Lin
coin, declaring that Mcclellan did not
end the war in $50 because of the
almost Irresistible power OF the
malific civilian cabal at Washington
to which Lincoln himself was sub
ject' Captain Heysinger's belief that
Mcclellan could have ended the war
but for the Vaccinations of Staunton
may be disputed, hut there is no
doubt OF the fact that Mcclellan has
received his due hitherto only from
Southern historians who remem Der
General Lees tribute, and It is we'll
for history that some one now comes
forward from among McClelians own
people to do him justice. The book

South. chiefly because the South has
never realized the richness OF the
field Professor Child does give one
variant found in the mountains of
North Carolina. 1t Is the ballad of
The Wife of Usher's Well The
variant in question was sent him from
Polk county, North Carolina, where
1t is still sung by men and women
who cannot read or write, and whose
forefathers could not read or write.
This is an example Of what may be

In the effort to win these survt-
