tze that conditions had changed.
Among other attorneys present to at
tend the proceedings was Hon f. d.

also present, and Attorney Joseph Bar
tholomew, who lost the position of

business to transact along regular
lines.
The forenoon was taken up in max

CRUMPACKERS
RETURN HOME

Hon. +. d. Crumpacker. Mrs. Crum-
packer and Owen Crumpacker, who
has been secretary TO his father at the
national capital. arrived home from
Washington late Saturday night and
are now permanent residents of this
city. They Immediately went about
arrangements for the future. Mr..
Crumpacker was met yesterday on the
streets by many of his old friends, who
welcomed him back as private citi-
zen OF Valparaiso. According to a
statement which he made, he will
practice law here
THE profession of law is the only
vocation for which 1 am fitted" said
Mr.. Crumpacker yesterday morning in
conversation. "Of other things / know
but little, and 1 shall probably escab-
lish an office in valpo."
He spoke of the new Porter circuit
court and believes there is still plenty
of room for him here among the other
attorneys. The retiring congressman
also expressed delight at getting back
to the old town. and declared he was
glad to once more be one of the COM
mon herd.
During the years of Mr. Crumpack-
er's practice In this part of the state
before his party sent him to congress
he was among the ablest attorneys
and few prominent cases came up in
which he was not interested on one
side or the other.-Valpo Vidette.

in the deal, have been instructed to
purchase an additional 90 acres which
may be needed in the event that the

title to the property j. c. Younglove,
who is acting for the Johns Manville
Co., did make some inquiry regard
ing other sites. This was merely to
have another site in view in the event
the deal for the first one fell through
But the Pullman estate left nothing
undone to get the title cleared and
guaranteed. and it is understood that
the matter has now been ironed out to
the satisfaction of the purchaser.
1t develops that the Earle. estate in
Gary was back of the effort to locate
the plant in that city. The representa-
tives of this estate were so anxious to
do something for Gary that they of
fered the 400-acre site for nothing if

The concert easily surpassed ell

in better tune, parts better balanced
and far greater precision in attack.
Two NEST entertaining stunts were
woven into the prDgram-The lmrie

song accompaniment and Jesse Baird

The piano on the platform which lool-
ed like any other plain piano, proved
to be self-playing instrument and
Baird's attempt TO catch and keep up
with the keys which were being auto

crous. Mr.. Baird was equal to the
occasion even though at times his
hands were some two or three oc-
taves from the lodging keys. A pretty
feature Of the evening was Mr.. Can

leader In puIo white uniform.
The numbers were well chosen
