JEWETT SEEKS
COUNCILFAVOR
Mayor Makes Final Stand for
Administration Man
President Today.

With the administration still hoping
to find some way to break the solid
ranks of the Insurgents in the city coun-
Gil who intend to elect one of their own
number president for the coming year at
the first meeting of 1920 Monday night,
Mayor Cha1es W. Jewett's biweekly
conference with the council in his cham
bers, scheduled for this afternoon, prom
ised to be warm session.
The mayor was not expected to come
right out and ask that an administration
republican be made president, but in
surgents were expecting him to make
some conciliatory move with the intent
to bring this about.
Insurgents indicated that they were
not particularly eager to relinquish the
balance Of power they maintained
throughout 1919. by reason of the fact
that the heads of all important. commit
tees were of their number and 1t was
freely predicted that an insurgent presi-
dent and insurgent heads of committees
will be elected next Monday.
Meanwhile the administration an
nounced that pending ordinances may
be discussed at the. session today.

Included in the prisoners taken was
Alex Ivanof, who is alleged to be di-

who was active in the Gary district dur

Efforts were made by the agitators to
stir up racial trouble also in connection

tor at the city hall, said by officials to
be an agitator who has operated in many
parts of America, was seized.

pear. Five wagon loads Of prisoners
were taken when the headquarters was
raided

book store which has served as the

SOCIALIST PARTY's
SECRETARY ARRESTED.
Among those arrested were James
Crowley, secretary of the Chicago branch
of the socialist party; George Andreyt-
chine, who served a sentence in the
Leavenworth prison for objecting TO
military duty, and Annie Grodarsky,
known as the little rebel"
The fact that some Of the alleged red
leaders sought were not taken into Gus
tody was attributed by HoXne to "dou-
ble-crossing by the department of JUS
tice.''
He openly charged agents of the de-
partment of Justice had tipped the radi-
Gals that the raids would be made.
More than 500 officers aided in round

States Attorney Hoyne, TIE agitators
have been planning for several months y
establish a soviet form of governments IN
the United States.
The drive resulted from an organised
campaign of Chicago merchants, bank
ers and business men to rid the city
of those who are seeking to overthrow
the government.
The campaign has been under way
for nearly five months. The business
men have been meeting secretly. Plans
for the raids were made at these meet
ings. The situation was regarded as a
menace and a fund was subscribed to
pay the expenses of a thorough investi-
cation. More than $4,000 was spent
in this investigation. Operatives of q

Not far away is farm owned by

w. E. Bash, real estate dealer Of In

the other at $153 an acre.
Such is the result of the manipulatlons
Of the assessments that have followed
the enactment of the Goodrich Hays"
tax law with its establishment of a state
board with almost unlimited powers.
The local taxing authorities are not
responsible for these glaring inequali-

Real estate appraisers say that the
valuations for sale purposes are all ap-
proximately the same and that there has
been little difference in the selling prices
that figured In recent transactions in
that neighborhood. But the assessments
now of record for the year 1919, which
are the result of the township assessors
work, changed twice on the direct order
Of TIE state tax board, differ in nearly
every instance and range, per acre, from
500 to $160.
Adjoining the tract which the state
board finally said should be assessed
a 500 an acre there is a tract in the name
Of Anna Mollenkapp which is assessed
at $114 an acre. Nearby is the land held
