OWNER Of GHOST
AT SOUTH BEND
BECOMES led
Citizens May Never Know De-
tails of Noises, ASPIRATIONS
and SpookS in Mystery.
BIZ United NetcS

By United Nelos
SOUTH BEND, Ind, June 27.-The
ghost" at 81 S. Haley ST., South
Bend, probably never will be brought
to trial.
Wolfas Tomaszewski, proprietor or
the house and perhaps legally the
owner of the ghost" has decided
not to prosecute Francois Lesage,
who claims to have been driven from
the place by the alleged spook and
whom Wolfas charged had slandered
his property by telling the tale OF the
"eviction"
Lesage and his family came here
recently and moved into the house.
Lesage was awakened one night by
the screams Of his wife. She told him
she had seen a ghost. Lesage gave
her what is technically known as the
ringing razzberry.
Mrs Lesage's claims, however,
were soon confirmed. Two nights
later two boarders on the first floor
reported that their slumbers had been
disturbed by noises. But Lesage re-
manned unconvinced.
He had to see it himself, and, he
declares, he did!
| The ghost" awakened him a few
nights later. Without even bothering
to bide awhile under the covers, Le-
sage grabbed his trousers and fled
from the room. Gathering up few
belongings, the Lesage family and
their boarders departed from that
house forthwith. spending the rest Of
the night in a hotel. Police investi-
gated and found some mounds under
the house that looked like graves, but
reported nothing smacking Of the
supernatural.
Word came to Lesage that Thomas
zewsh was about to sue, and Lesage
hurried to Attorney George Sands
also run up against the 'spook.
Sands has been consulting law books
to determine whether the landlord
would have to prove the place free
from whosts or whether Lesage would
have to prove the things presence.
Other lawyers declared the only logi-
cal thing to do would be to subpoena
the ghost and put 1t on the witness
stand
Thomaszewski has now saved the
st. Joseph county court a ticklish
problem by announcing that he prob
ably won't sue.
But Thomaszewsd won't tell the .
reason for his change Of mind And
all South Bend is wondering.

armistice had done so much to restore
world confidence and sterilization as
the British debt funding agreement
This settlement of the British debt
has been acclaimed all over the world
as one of the most notable and sue
cessful fiscal accomplishments ever
recorded" the President said.
'"There had been too much talk of
possible cancellations or regulations
of the war debt. Such a program
would have wrecked the entire struc-
the obligations of governments
throughout the world.
There is but one way for a COM
munity finally to get back on it's feet,
and that is to go seriously about pay
ing it's debts and reducing it's ex-
penses. That is what the world must
face. The greatest and richest gov
eminent must face it, and so must the
humblest citizen
Nothing About Reduction
Although his subject was taxation
and expenditure, the President care
fully avoided discussing the question
ofreducing taxes. He cited many sta
tistics showing that the per capita
cost Of the Federal Government in
1914 was $6.97, rose to $5358 in 1920,
and will be $2629 this year
For those who complain Of high in
come taxes, Harding said a man with
a wife and two children, earning
$4,000 year, paid SOS income tax last
year. IT Canada he would have paid
S156, in Germany 1892, France 500
and Great Britain $32O76. The same
man earning $4,000 would have paid
SASS here and $1,12S.32 in Great Brit
ain.
Il would not urge the stingy,
skimpy, boarding life Of individuals,
or an Inadequate program of govern
ment," Harding said, but he did IN
sist upon the necessity Of private and
public thrift

DRY LEADERS
ASK FOR Use Of
ARMY AND NAVY
War Council Wants Three
Mile Limit Increased
to Twelve.
By EARL J. JOHNSON


WESTERVILLLE, Ohio, June
27.-Demands that President
Harding WELD the full force of
the Army and Navy against
liquor law violators were made in
resolutions placed before the
100000 war council of ma
tional dry leaders today.
Other resolutions called on
the Federal Government to ex-
tend America s territorial waters
twelve miles from shore to COM
bat rum running on the Atlantic
coast.
Administration Hall, on the sleepy
campus of Otterbein College became
the dry capitol of the United States
as fifty high officials of the Anti
Saloon League resumed discussions
preliminary to their renewed fight to
dry up" the country.
wheeIer's Version
The leagues general counsel
Wayne B. Wheeler, presented his
torical evidence intended to show the
three-mile limit is out OF date His
version is that the imaginary line
three miles from shore was drawn in
a o. he
or the distance a coast defense cannon
Of that day would shoot.
Every dollar of the leagues annual
income Of approximately $4,000. 900
will be thrown into the war on State
prohibition repealers, P. A. Baker,
general superintendent, declared.
Prohibition today is purely theo-
retfcal." said Baker. Our campaign
is to make it reality
sit may be 1880 before America Is
strictly dry, but we are prepared to
hold out as long as there is opposi-,
ton"
Canadian Drys Scored
Baker scored Canadian drys for
permitting Manitoba to vote wet in
the last election in Ontario" The
Dominion campaigners, he said, made
big mistake when they did not force
the adoption Of an interstate shipment
law as first step toward prohibit
ton.
The leagues slogan for the present
is DRY up America First
After that, instead Of turning over
its huge reform machine to other cru
saders, the league intends to carry
its dry fight abroad.
