ing him whether the antI-allen legis-

News of the presidents suggestion

the presidents course would satisfy
Japan that the federal government
was doing everything IN It's, power.
The same telegram was duplicated to
the president of the Senate and the
speaker of the California Assembly.
1t was said at the White House
that conflicting adyices over the sit
uation made it practically necessary
for a representative of the admins
tration to
Explain the Governments Position
in person. There was no feeling that
the suggestion would not he vel
come because Governor, Johnson's
telegram of yesterday was regarded
as expressing a desire for co4opera-

lists. The accident occurred late Sat-
urday night as Siegler was on his way
home with two other men. Although
he had been drinking. apparently he
was not intoxicated.

He was walking some distance ahead
of the other two men. They were not
aware of the accident until the auto

there was man in the ditch who had
been injured. They did not give any
particulars of the accident or state that
they had struck Siegler, and then sped
away and have not been seen or heard

IS ORDERED SOLD
Keen Competition for Desir
able Property Is Ex-

The building of the aClumet In
stitute, located on of the
most desirable sites in Hammond, at
the corner of Holman and ogden sts.
Hammond, is to be sold at public auc-
tion on Tuesday, June 10. by Trustee
Bankruptcy Charles L. Surprise.
The site has a Holman street front
age of 100 feet and owing to a curve
in the alley has a depth of 160 feet.
The appraisers. Messrs. A. E. Wilcox
and Emil Minas of Hammond and J. G..
Budde of Chicago, valued the entire
property at $4,000. In the rear of the
school building is frame four-fia at
BUILDING which is included in the es-
innate.
The building alone cost s2o.5oo, and
the lot $500 so that the value repre-
sented is really $4,000. The new build
Ing is only two years old. and fur
nished in oak throughout.
The large hall on the second floor, the
several private offices and assembly
room on the main floor and the fine
large basement make this building
adapted to club and, lodge purposes
without any material changes. 1t is ex-
pected that there will be keen competi-
tion among two or three local organiza-
tions, including lodges. the Christian
Science body and a syndicate of cap
italists. 1t is understood that the
school board would like to lease the
building for two years to relieve the
congestion at the central high school
which makes the property attractive
from an investment standpoint.
In this connection it has also beer
suggested that the location would be 9
good one for the proposed working {
girls home, plans for which have beer
considered by local manufacturers a
different times. The frame building or
the rear of the lot could be supplantee
with a modern dormitory for this pur'
pose
Last week Referee-in-B Bankruptcy H
