months. The recruiting headquarters
in Hammond is located in room 121 of

company at the corner of Holman and
State street.
When the recruiting station was
first established in Hammond" said
Mr.. Solberg, I'VE knew we would draw
recruits from all over the Calumet
region and SO far the number has not
been disappointment. Since locating
in Hammond we have had on an aver
age of one recruit day. The majority
of the men that have enlisted range
in age from 81 to 80. while q number
have been turned away on account OF
being under the Is year age limit"
According to Mr.. Solberg the appli-
cants must go through a rigid exam
ination and must answer a long list of
of -tha- matn reQuira-
ments Is that the recruit must be a
citizen of the United States, must be
able to read and write the English
language and must be in good health
in mind and body. The recruits are
enlisted from the main recruiting sta
tiol at South Chicago. When asked if
any Increase had been shown on ac-
count OF the Mexican situation. Mr..
Solberg stated that 1t had made but
little difference in Hammond.

DISCIPLINE ENFORCED
IN HAMMOND SCHOOL S

There is a little storm brewing in
the Hammond schools these days
Harry w. Eastwood, councilman at
large stated today that he will go be-
fore the board of education at the first
opportunity to denounce the system of
wholesale suspension which he says
exists in the Hammond high school.
Parents complain" said he, "and
many pupils rebel against the disci-
pline meted out by a court of last ap-
peal"

DRAINAGE
DISTRICT
WANTED

Can Hammond's deep sewer problem
be solved by the aid of the 1919 law
purposely enacted to provide forN
drainage district including the cities
of the Calumet region?
The question is one which may pre-
sent itself in the near future to the
commercial clubs and city admins
trations in Hammond Whiting and
East Chicago, and possibly Gary.
In an informal discussion of the SUBJ
morning, Judge v. s. Reiter. president
of the Hammond Chember of Com
merce. thought the question one wor-
thy of serious consideration. Attorney
Joseph Conroy opened the discussion
by relating a talk which he and Mayor
Schlieker of East Chicago. had re-
Gently on the subject, and in which the
East Chicago executive suggested that
the problem could be solved effectually
for all time by a cooperation of the
cities.
The drainage law gives the taxpay-
ers the means through which these
plans could be carried out Before
anything could be done, however. ref
erendum vote would be required
"The deep sewer question is of such
vital Importance said Judge Reiter,
that it should be solved right for all
time. One of the greatest drawbacks
under which the cities of this region
have suffered have been the makeshift
improvements which entailed continual
assessments without. however, getting
us anywhere When a city proposes to
spend nearly a million dollars for an
Improvement it wants to be sure that
it is giving the taxpayers what they
need. It will be only matter of time
when these individual cities will be one
municipality, and then we might find
that we had expended money for some
thing which does not meet the re-
quirements at that time"
The discussion also brought out the
opinion that Hammond and Whiting,
particularly, could work to good adj
vantage in cooperating on the ques-
ton of sewage elimination

ence with Mayor John d. Smalley this
this morning, representatives Of

given relief by the deeR sewer system
The property owners Viii gladly pay

1T is not feasible at all to change
the trunk line from Michigan avenue
to State street" said Mayor Smalley.
1T is impracticabIe and not to be
thought of. 1t would mean that COM

be made and the whole system revised,

ford to do this; we have been delayed

JAPANESE BOYCOTT
ANTI-ALIEN SUPPORTERS

SACRAMENTO, May 22.-That
japanese laborers throughout this
part of California have Initiated
boycott against those legislators who
took an active part in securing the
anti-alien land act and against their
families and that even more serious
retaliatory measures are expected, is
the story brought to Sacramento to-
day by p X. Bradford of Bruceville.
Bradford is the man who conduct
ed Secretary of State Bryan, Cover
nor Johnson and various legislative
parties through the japanese colon
les of Florin, Elk Grove and the sur
rounding country in order that first
hand information might be had. He
also is cousin of Hugh Bradford,
assemblyman from Sacramento, who
introduced and succeeded in getting
through a drastic anti-alien bill. The
Bradford family is one of the first to
feel the effects of what is declared
to be general order for Japanese to
leave the ranches vineyards and gar
dens Of those who supported the alien
land act
Within the last few days Is brown
laborers at the Bruceville winery and
vineyards, owned by the Bradfords,
have left the place They went
quietly and without explanation. This
followed shortly after circulation
among the Nipponese of japanese
newspaper which contained a story
of the part played by Bradford in the
anti-alien legislation.
We are under boycott by Jau-
anese laborers, | learned today from
a japanese boss who has worked for
me for > years and who also has
gone" said Hugh Bradford today. Il
am convinced that the plan was to
make us feel our dependency on jap
anese help and to make us llnuckle
down, as we'll as to show us what re-
taliation might be taken"

WAS VERY ATTRACTIVE.

The public school art exhibit, held
on Thursday and Friday afternoons
in charge of Miss Messenger, was a
pleasure to the many spectators.
From the first attempts of the first
grade pupils to the more finished
work of the high school students
real worth which stands for progress
and success was evident.
There were sketches in water col
or, charcoal pen and ink and pen
ell with all manner of subjects from
Moreover" to students in still life
and woodland scenes. A charcoal
sketch of THE Cleaners deserves
especial mention this sketch be-
ing made by Miss Mildred Thrasher.

BUD ANDERSON WINS
OVER FRENCHMAN

LOS ANGELES. May 2l.-Bud
Anderson of Vancouver, Wash. is to-
day near the top of the pugilistic lad
der, and Joe Mandot is in the boxing
discard as the result of the formers s
decisive victory over the New Orleans
Frenchman at McCarey's Vernon
arena last night.
Anderson won handily by technic-
al knockout H. the 18th round after
he had led the fight from the first tap
of the gong. Mandot was still on his
feet but was palDably unable to de-
fend himself when Referee Eyton In
terfered and hoisted Anderson's arm,
declaring him the winner.
Buds great punlshing power won
him the battle. His boxing was crude
and the Frenchman easily surpassed
him at the long range work. Ander-
son, however, refused to work at a
distance, After almost every lead by
Mandot he would rush to close quar-
ters and pound on the New Orleans
boys stomach with piston-like iefts
and rights AS early as the first
round 1t was apparent that this mode
OF attack would seal Joe's doom.
Mandot had a hard time to wealth
er the ninth. He went to the mat
from a short right to the jaw, but
came up hghting bravely. The bell
stopped the terrific punishment.
Throughout the 10th and nth
rounds Anderson continued his body
attack and in the 18th, after beating
Joe's kidneys until Mandot was al
most ready to drop, shot n sharp right
to the jaw that sent Joe reeling across
the ring AS he leaped to finish his
work, Eyton interfered
In addition to what veteran ring
birds here declared to be the most
terrific punch ever exhibited at Yer
non by lightweight, Anderson
showed amazing strength. In spite
OF Mandot's clever covering and hold
Ing, he was unable to break the force
OF Buds punches, which continually
crashed through the southerner's
guard to his face.
Before the third round was over
Bud had begun to pay particular at
tention to the kidneys and from then
until the end he battered the welter-
red back Of Mandot

PRESBYTERIANS WIN
FIRST TWILIGHT GAME

Allowing only 16 men to face him
in the five innings OF play on high
school field yesterday, striking out
u, walking none, permitting only
one scratchy single, preventing any
opponent to reach second and only
one to gain first until two were out in
the last inning, Pitcher Scott Hamil-
ton of the Presbyterian club of the
Grants Pass Twilight Baseball league
adequately assisted by his battery
partner, Eddie Parker, defeated the
Baptist team by a score of 3 to 0.
o. Douglas pitched a game that,
with even ordinary support from his
battery partners, would have won
nine games out ten. He allowed only
two hits, both Texas leaguers that
fast fielding should have shared; he
famed nine, including such sluggers
as Hamilton, twice, n. Best three
times and Woodward one. He walked
four and two of these happened to
be the first batter up in the first and
third innings, and fast base running
by Taylor and f. Best, helped by a
bad throw and a bonehead display,
converted these walks into runs be-
fore Douglas could strike out the
next three batters.
