FEDERAL
COURT TERM
ADJOURNS

Judge A. Il. Anderson made short
work OF the civil docket when he
started through IL this morning in
the federal court at Hammond. BY
10 o'clock he was on his way home.
In the damage suits brought by
the Federal Paving Co. against Sam
Woods and others Of Lake county
because OF their criticisms OF the
manner in which the Lincoln high
way pavement was constructed, the
plaintiff confessed tho demurrer of
the defendants and promised to 6le
answer within ten days
The winters wear which had seen
the breaking up of the news pave
ment and the report OF investigat-
ors which was made to the State
Highway Commission indicate that
Mr., Woods and his neighbors were
justified in their criticisms and 1t is
believed that the damage suits will
fall fat.
The court heard motions in other
matters and then adjourned until
next fall.
Only three naturalization petit
tions are now pending in the fed
eral court as a result of yesterdays
session. Fifty were admitted TO full
citizenship. two were denied and
fourteen were dismissed. The ma
jority Of the petitioners whose cases
were dismissed failed to appear

GERMANY
BARRED FROM
CONFERENCE
BY S. D. wEYER

GENOA, April 10. - Wen do
everything we can to avoid
break" Walter Rathenau, head of
the German delegation. declared to-
day in discussing the statement of
the allied powers barring Germany
from further participation in the
dealings with Russia.
The German leader made IL plain,
however. that he and his colleagues
are determined not TO accept the
stigma of duplicity carried in the
allied note. The Germans are work
ing on a reply which probably viii
be made public late today.
1t was Learned today that the
French made a hard fight TO have
the Germans barred from all fur
ther participation in the conference
This proposal was blocked by Pre-
mier Facta OF Italy.
In this connection II became
known that the Italian delegation
had no objection to the Russo-Ger-
man treaty. but believed that il
should not have been made during
the present conference.
Rathenau and Chancellor wirth
Of the German delegation held con-
ference with several allied leaders
over the situation. They are at
tempting to formulate reply that
will clear themselves Of the charge
of dupficity and will at the same
time not anger the allied powers,
Rathenau was in conference with
Premier Facta for more than an
hour. Neither would discuss the
conference.

THEY ARE
STILL At It

The following communication has
been received by the sporting editor:
I have heard a great many stories
about a very distinguished young
man who belongs to the Kiwanis
Bowling Team spending great
deal of time among the Blue Bloods
and the Red Bloods OF Europe. From
the way he reported a recent bowl
ing match, ! would say that most, on
this time was spent with the Reds.
He certainly can write a red story.
This story would remind one OF the
newly rich whose head was turned
by their sudden and unexpected sue
cess. So far IS I know this is the
first game this club has won and it
naturally upsets them some. Espe-
cially is this true when IL also nets
them a real chicken dinner
in any event, you can say for me
that I had Just much fun out of this
match as George Wolf did and get
just as much pleasure out OF the
dinner. although I have no idea OF
getting as much dinner as George
will get. We have ordered three
plates for him alone. He can make
three times as much noise as any
body else and we expect him to be
able TO eat three times as much.
We could have forgiven every
thing else If they had not added in
suit to injury BY calling Major
Neville the Captain OF the Kfwanis
Team. Yours very truly.

Hammond IS a booster for the plais-

give the city elbow room and 1t oe-

The plan has numerous boosters
in Hammond among the business

RUSS-GERMAN PACT DOES
NOT CONCERN UNITED STATES

that as such she has right TO
conclude a treaty with any power
she desires, so long as such a treaty
does not violate treaties which she
has with the United States.
AS for Russia. the United States
has no official relations with her
anyway.
The text OF the Russo-German
pact has been subjected to close
examination here. and IT considered
not in conflict with the separate
treaty concluded between the United
States and Germany. Consequently.
IL IS extremely unlikely that this
government will be a party TO any
OF the dozen controversies that
threaten to arise out OF II.
Speaking OF the turmoil and quar-
reling 1t has already created at
Genoa, one administration spokes-
man said today:
The principal thing 1t emphasiz
is that the United States Is FORUM

CLUB WOMEN IN
SPIRITED PROTEST
Manager Gregory of Par
thenon to Cancel John
son Date If He Can.

Resolutions protesting against the
appearance here at a local theater
of Jack Johnson, former worlds
champion heavyweight colored pug
ilist and more recently involuntary
guest at Leavenworth prison, were
adopted last night by twenty menu
bers of the Hammond Woman's Club
at a called meeting of the executive
board Of the club held at the Majes-
tic hotel
Characterizing booking OF the pro-
gram headed by Jack Johnson as an
Insult to the intelligence and good
taste OF the people of this city" this
committee. which according to Mrs
p. j. Moran, reflects the sentiment
of $50 club members, called on S.
J. Gregory, manager OF the theater,
to cancel the engagement and "ob-
viate the stigma TO the theater and
It's patrons" Johnson's acceptance
here would entail.
Mr.. Gregory, present. at the meet
ing, acceded TO the demands OF the
women. and said that every effort
would be made TO cancel the negro
boxers program. Much of the sue
cess of his endeavor, he said. would
be dependent upon action which the
Chicago board of theater censors
viii take in regard to Johnson's
appearance in that city.
Mr.. Gregory said Johnson was
coming here from Pennsylvania. His
reception at scores OF theaters in
eastern cities, according to telegra-
phic advices to Mr.. Gregory. has
been most successful with show
houses there, crowded at every ap-
pearance of the black boxer.
Mr.. Gregory was in Chicago today
trying TO arrange substitute pro-
gram for the one which aroused
the ire of Hammond club women.
