Without Action on Fa-

Expressions Of disappointment came
from both Hammond and Hessville to-
day when II was learned that the Su-
preme court Of Indiana had adjourned
without having taken action on the
cid mandamus suit which was expect
ed 70 settle the annexation dispute

Attorneys IN the suit appeared be-
fore the supreme Court some time ago
and presented their oral arguments
and it was expected that a decision

consider il one Of the most difficult
that has been carried to the high court
in years They say that the develop
ments were such that a mighty con
vincing argument can be made on eth
er side. They admit the judges have
a difficult task on their hands.
As the court WI not convene again
