Bangor's determined opposition

the construction, but against the
steps leading up to its authorization
until the cities and towns in the
county have had Il chance to make
an expression Of opinion as to the
need Of the bridge, according to those
interested at Bangor. Two hearings
have already been held before the
county commissioners, one in Orono
and the other in Bradley, for the pur-
pose of authorizing the surveying and
other laying out of the bridge ap-
proachos, but the sessions adjourned

of the bridge, made two years ago.
was $4,000, but it is now estimated
that it can be constructed for approx
lmately 100000. There are other
people in that section who arc Of the
opinion that the structure will cost
100000 and moro before it would be
finally opened TO the public. The quos-
ton now being widely discussed there
is whether or not this bridge is nee
essary at that point of the river

BLAMES GARAGE FOR
WRECKED CAR

Clarence Buetow or Chicago. the
man whose Roarner touring car
went OF the bridge into the Calu-
met river on Cline ave. October 2,
blames the Harbor Garage and Ma
chine Co. for the destruction of the
machine.
Today he fled suit for $4,000
damages against George Mabis, pro-
prietor of the garage. in the Supe-
rior court at Hammond.
On October as he was driving
north on Cline ave. his car stopped
near the Calumet river bridge. He
telephoned the garage at Indiana
Harbor for a tow. His machine was
hitched behind the wrecker and they
started for the garage. On the
bridge the hoist connections became
unfastened and the Roamer turned
aside. broke the railing. and dropped
into the river.
Twice the car was hoisted from
the muddy river bottom and both
times as it was about to be swung
onto the bridge something broke
and 1t fell back into the water.
Buetow became disgusted and went
homo.
In his complaint he contends that
his car was IN the possession of the
defendant when 1t was ruined. He
is represented by Attorneys G. c.
White and Fred Barnett.

Shmarya Levin. Jewish leader OF
International standing. and regard
ed as tho most gifted orator in the
estine, VIII be the principal speaker
at a mass meeting OF the Lake Co.
Jews in the Hammond Synagogue
Thursday evening. Nov. 23rd.
In the last year DR.. Levin visited
Jewish Communities in different
parts OF the world and brought them
the message OF the new Jewish life
that is beginning to blossom in Pal
estine
In an Interview when Dr.. Levin
was asked whether the change in
British politics would affect the
British policy in Palestine, DR., Lev
In said: 4 viii say to you frankly
that I am much more Interested in
the Jewish policy In Palestine than
in the British policy there. Not
that I think the British are In Pal
estine because of caprice of Lloyd
George. or a noble sentiment OF Bal
four. or, as some polite anti-zionists s
in England of recently said. because
OF the fascinating manners OF Dr.
Weizmann. I believe the British
and the Jews are in Pal lestine to-
gether because OF mutual interests
OF the most substantial character.
IL is unnecessary for the Jews to
worry as to the Willingness or the
ability or the British to defend their
interest in Palestine. Let the Jews
exert them selves TO defend their
own. And when I use the word
defend l imply nothing aggressive
OF militaristic, we Jews must de-
fend our interests there with Colon
les in town, in schools and universi
ties. in a word. with civilization ,"

committee of business men and after
Lawrence squeezed into It the lid
s~as nailed down by the members Of
the committee.
Then the box was securely roped
from stem to stern and turned up
side down so that Lawrence would
be standing on his head.
The committee stood in a complete
circle about three feet from the box
and a single sheet was spread over
the box.
The orchestra began to play soft

Hoffman was out of the box.
1t was some stunt. Lawrence new
er told anyone how he did IL and
to this day his friends are as much
mystiied as they were then.
Lawrence IS somewhat older now.

The other day George Kussmaul

her about it. Mrs. Spe char pro-
cesded to slap the face of her
aged traducer.
George SchulS and two compan-
ions from East Hammond witnessed
the affair. Schulz demonstrated,

friends.
without a word he raised the
gun and fired. Schulz felt a thump

Vow get move on. Beat IT,"
ordered Epeehar.
Schulz and his friends retreated.
Speehar pocketed his gun and re-
turned home.
Then Schulz took an inventory.
