ESTATE
SARANK

Inc late k H. Bell according to his
Will which was admitted to probate by
Judge Cutting of Chicago shows that
he had $4,000 worth of property in
illinois. Only $4,000 worth of this is
real estate.
His holdings however are very much
larger. as his Hammond property con-
sistlng of the corner and building oc-
cupied by the Lake County Savings
and Trust company is conservatively
estimated to be worth $4,000.
His daughter by his first marriage.
Mrs. Emily Browne. is the PRINCIPAL
beneficiary OF his estate, but his wife,
Mrs. Emma M. Bell, from whom ha
has been separated since 1903 will re-
ceive her dover interest in the es-
tate by the terms in the will.
His counsel states he believes Bell
had extensive real estate holdings in
Hammond ara other Indiana towns.
Mr. Bell was generally conceded to be

Judge Lawrence Becker. sitting in
vacation to hear the Gary General hos
pital receivership petition this morning,
put temporary check on the proceed
ing by sustaining the demurrer offered
by Attorneys Harris Wildermuth and
Widholm, co-counsels for the hospital.
Attorney w. H. Matthew. appearing for
DR.. William r. White, stockholder in
the hospital corporation and the pet-
toner for the receiver. asked leave to
amend his complaint, which was grant
ed. No time was fixed for the next
heading. but it probably will not be
had until next September. as Judge
Becker intends to leave Hammond for
a vacation.
The end of the case this morning
came rather abruptly. Attorneys Wild
ermuth and Widholm had both argued
the legal phase of the demurrer. At
torney Harris then rose and began the
recital of alleged facts that DIR. White,
the petitioner. had been barred from
the hospital. Attorney Matthew OBJ
jected streuously on the ground that
this was a time to argue the law on a
demurrer, and no time for discussion

CITY BEING BUILT
WITHIN A CITY
Amazing Home Building Activity is
Noted in Residence Portion
of Hammond

A city within city is under con-
struction in Homewood and the south
end of Hammond. In the territory
between the State Line and Calumet
avenue, south of Carroll street, in the
neighborhood of half hundred build
ings are in the various stages of COM
pletion. Their approximate cost is
$4,000.
A list of forty-two buildings, which
is subjoined, was made up by TIMES
reporter after canvass through the
new building district. Here and there
a building may have been overlooked
unintentionally while the cost on
each is an estimate rather than the
actual figure In most cases the own
ers thmeslves are unable to give them
definitely.
The list includes only such buildings
which are under construction or which
have only very recently been COM
pleted. In the latter class many more
might have been included. but the idea
was to make the list as nearly up to
date as possible.
The list shows the growing popular
ity of the bungalow. Kellastone. a new
building nast riaa. Of = kssSa8 exerEbQdy
speaks very highly. is also wei repre-
scented. The cost figures show all the
buildings to be quite substantial
On every street is heard the sound
and the echo of the hammer and the
saw small army of craftsmen is
employed in this territory alone to
erect homes for the growing popula-
tion of the city. In other sections of
Hammond there is corresponding build
ing activity. and still the cry for more
homes continues.
Such concerns like the C. 1. Hoffman
Construction company are helping the
situation materially by putting up sub
stantia1 single residences and fiat
buildings George Yeazel who builds
and sells homes has also been a factor
and Roy G. Fowler is getting into the
game too. He has three pretty little
kellastone bungalows on Highlands
street nearly completed and is planning
: to erect three more.
If one were to make a list of build
| ings planned for this section of the
city the figures would again run into
/ the hundred thousand. The list OF
] buildings under construction just
! completed is as follows:

San Francisco, July 16--One thous-
and dollars has been set aside by the
management of the Panama Exposition
prize to be awarded to the origin
ator of the finest rose to be displayed
during the exposition period.
The judges. members of an interna-
tionaI jury of award, will base their
decision upon five qualities: beauty.
size, shape. coolr, fragrance. Only one
limitation is placed upon entries: each
must be a distinct origination. The
winning rose may not excel in all the
qualities that are asked for it, but it
must be a distinctly original rose. The
winning rose will be known as the
Panama Pacific International EXPOSE
tion rose
George A Dennison, chief OF the de-
partment of horticulture of the ex-
position, anticipates that really won-
derful result in rose culture will be
brought forth. Some horticulturists
have written him that they are well
OF the way towards the creation of a
blue and lavender rose; others believe
they will discover the secret of a black
rose.

of alleged facts none of which had any
relation to the pleadings. Attorneys
Wildermuth and Widholm both argued
that there was nothing to show that
the corporation was insolvent, nor that
this action was anci1lary to any other
action involving DR.. White and the cor
poration, and that he should have
sought redress from the officers and di-
rectors first before rushing into a court
for an extraordinary remedy. They
stated that when the stockholders sub
scribed their stock at ten dollars
share that they perfectly understood
that no dividends would be paid, and
that If DR.. White was dissatisfied with
the management that he should have
turned in his stock for the cash. He
was offered one hundred dollars in gold,
the par value of his stock, in open

TO PLANT
POS|ES IN
THE PARK
Hammond City Fathers Say
Nothing About Garbage
and Rat Evil But Will
Plant Flowers In Tin Can
Interstices.

That popular House of Commons, the
Hammond city council. met last ev-
ening in a hot weather session.; and
after barely averting asphyxiation by
escaping gas, thereby spelling a good
story alderman sanctioned a Fictitious
measure, for political purposes, that
will cause the wind-broken horses that
haul the citys dump wagons to laugh
In high derision.
They moved that the park superin-
tendent be instructed to plant flowers
in Columbia Park Commonly known as
the city Dump and that plans be drawn
for the spreading manure, cutting sand
burs. etc. 1t will come up for final pas
sage and adoption at the very next
meeting.
Rubbing 1t In.
Roosevelt avenue where the plague
of rats, the pest of mosquitoes, the
infection of smoking garbage from the
city dump, is the bane of existence, will
not appreciate the clever comedy of this
ordinance.
In all seriousness Alderman KahI
called the attention of the city coun-
ell to Columbia Park and asked that
a gardener be placed here permanently
and suggested that landscape gard
ener be secured. 1t was then that a
wag saw the delicious humor of plant
in posiest among the tin cans and dead
cats and suggested it The things that
East Side people want follow:
STOP
the burning of garbage, the smoke
from which blows into our homes.
the breeding of rats that infest our
homes, kill our poultry and bite our
children.
Cover up the vile and profane things
that have been cut by bad boys ON the
benches in the park and In outhouses.
In short make Columbia Park of use
to the people 1T belongs

is forever doing things, arose pre-

raymond Poincare stands out as the
foremost man in France today. Untn
last summer he was not widely known
beyond the frontier Of France. or
known only as one among many bril-
liant parliamentarians. Then came
MS Journey to Russia, with vital con-
Isrences between the Tsar and his min
listers and the Prime Minister of
france, which infused new life into
the Triple Entente. Almost immedi.
ately followed the Balkan war. and
then, at last, events gave the true
measure of Raymond Poincare. who
STOOD out as one Of three or four men
working with the power of genius to
preserve the peace of Europe and Asia,
Tor both would be involved in any
general war. Wisely, forcefully. with
courage and courtesy, and with keen
intuitive insight, Poincare met one

Deputies, he described the steps Of his
world policy:
From the beginning of 1912, with
out moments break, we have been
exchanging ideas on the situation with
our friends and allies, and in these
daily conversations, which showed a
hearty agreement between Russia,
England, and France, these three ma.
tons set themselves to bring about a
general good understanding among all
the great European powers. We held
that we owed it to our ally to give a
striking testimony of our effective and
active fidelity. Honor and interest
equally commanded this course. And
our task was made easy by the clair
voyance and surety of judgment which
M. Kokovtseff showed in his last
speech AS for England, our relations
with her have never been so cordial
and close. Therefore, it is in full COM
munity of view with our friends and
allies that we are watching the march
of events. But France has not been
content to count on a systematic op-
