This will be over a course 25 miles

long. The route of the course has been aranged by Judge "Westergreen of

Miller. It will be south on Broadway

to the Hobart road, on the Hobart road

Instead of taking a vacation this summer Deputy Sheriff James Trost will be compelled to serve summonses

on about 1,000 defendants in another suit which threatens to involve the

famous section ten in Gary.

Gertrude Cleveland is the plaintiff who claims an equity in this property and she is suing to quiet title. Her

claim was filed Jan. 2 and she will be gin suit this summer. -

Those who were compelled last year to make a settlement with D. J. Moran, who represented Mrs. Sommerville in

this case, will have to dig down again in order to secure a clear title to the

land they have bought. The people of Gary are getting tired of trouble over titles and it has already affected the sale of property to such an extent that the real estate dealer is now compelled to guarantee the title before the purchaser will pay over

his money. There is even in existence what is known as the Clear Title Real Estate company, which makes a specialty of their claim that the property they sell is not in any way involved.

Primary petitions are now being circulated for the nomination of Henry

V. Lee as trustee for the sanitary district of Chicago, on the republican

ticket. The petitions are being cir

culated extensively throughout the Calumet district so far the man is getting the unlimited support of the

voters.

The voters of the Calumet region,

Including Riverdale, Harvey and Elue

Island, feel that this district is . en

titled to a representative on the board and as Mr. Lee is the father of " the

Lake Calumet harbor project he seems

to be the best man for the position.

The friends of Mr. Lee, who are ad

vocating his nomination, feel that he is qualified for the position by the virtue of his knowledge of the Calu

met district and past work he has done While serving the city in the capacity of division engineer, who several years ago put in several sewers in the

Calumet district. Mr. Lee has been pushing and ad

vocatlng the $12,000,000 Calumet canal

and at the present time the government officials are considering the mat

ter with more than ordinary Interest.

The Calumet lake, If ever construct

ed, will divert the waters of Lake

Michigan, changing its course so that

it will run west into the dranage

channel at the sag, when s thrteen

miles west of Blue Island. The river

which now flows into Lake Michigan at South Chicago, pollutes the water

which makes this a very unsanitary district this will remain unsanitary as long as this pollution continues and as the trend of the lake water comes dangerously near the Sixty-eighth street intake where the water is furnished the residents south of Thirty-ninth street, they are up in arms to have this nuisance stopped. The only plausible remedy is the Calumet canal and in fact ths whole south side is eagerly looking forward to the beginning of its construction. Mr. Lee some time ago appeared before Mayor Busse'9 harbor commission and delivered a lengthy address ui on the Calumet canal. His speech Impressed the board to such an extent that they were expected to make a visit in South Chicago last Saturday to overlook the ground, bat owing to Important business on the mayor's hand:?, the trip has been postponed for two weeks. Mr. Lee is a director in the Calumet Deep "Waterways association and was an active member of the Calumet Sanitary canal association that effected the annexation of South Chicago to the Sanitary district. Previous to the

time of the annexatlot the sanitary

district extended only to Eighty-sev

enth street, but it now takes in every

thing south including Hegewlsch, Harvey and Riverdale.

administration leaders here are entire

national committee In seating the Taft delegates from Arkansas and Alabama. The only possible hope of the allies, a any man ran see at a glance, must lie la the seating of a large number of contestants, chiefly those from the monihern states. If Taft gets half of those still remaining In the balance his nomination is certain on the first ballot. There 1 a growing belief that the maintenance tt headquarters on such tin erteaolre scale Is largely Influenced by a determination on the part of the mttJ-aflw.lnlxitrntl! forces to line up their strength and make a fight on the platform.

LOWELL TO HAVE FINE HOUSE BUILT.

Mother of Mrs. S. A. Dell of Hammond to Put up the Structure. Lowell, Ind., June-6, (Special.) Mrs. C. C. Sanger, mother of Mrs. S. A. Bell of Hammond, will soon commence the erection of one of the finest and up to

date houses in Lowell. It will be built

on her lot recently purchased of S. C.

Fletcher in Commercial avenue, which is also one of the finest building locations In town. It is estimated to cost about i, 000 and Y. C. Vosburg, carpenter, has been given the contract to build.

Mrs. B. F. Carling Partially Identifies Body at LaPorte as That of Husband. Laporte, Ind., June 5. -Convinced that her husband met death on the Gnnness farm, Mrs. Benjamin F. Carling, 5035 Calumet avenue, Chicago, returned home this afternoon following a partial Identification of the body of a man exh,umed today in the potter's field. The husband an Insurance agent, who disappeared two years ago after telling about going to meet a rich widow with whom he had business, had a plate with false teeth In the upperpart of his mouth, and so did the body exhumed. Mrs. Carlling declared the contour of the skull was like that of her busband. Sheriff Smutser Is In receipt of a letter from Asbery Henderson, a cleaner and dyer at 63 Comerclal street, Mesteg, Wales, offering to find Mrs. Gunness. He claims to have supernatural powers In such cases.

The appellate court today decided that serious illness of the wife of a farm tenant so that she could not be

removed from the house without dangler to her life, did not excuse her hus

band from the legal duty to surrend

er possession of the farm, even though

it might excuse him from the duty to remove her from the house. A Judgment is favor the defendant in a suit by Benjamfn J. Gifford against John Bingham to recover possession of a farm in Jasper county was reversed. Bingham had the farm rented until the 1st day of February and had rented another farm for the next year, of which he was to have possession on the 1st day of March. He waited - until Feb. 28 to move away from Glfford's farm, andiln,the meantime kept possession arid used the house and surrounding grounds, ' with: the stable, bar lots, pasture, and some of the fields. When Gifford sued for possession and damages Bingham answered that his wife and child were sick, and the family physician had forbidden, them to be moved while the weather was bad. He asserted that at and before the time such sickness and of the utter impossibility of defendant to vacate said house, and remove his wife and child without endangering their lives.

Judge "Watson's Opinion.

The appellate court holds that this

illness was no justification for a re

iusal to surrender the farm, even though he might lawfully have refused

to take his wife away after the sur

render. Judge Watson said: "There is a clear distinction between appel

lee's duty to give possession of the leased premises and-- the question whether the -sick person must be removed therefrom. The case of Herter vs. Mullen, 159 N. Y., 28, illustrates this distinction. The question there was whether leaving a sick member of the tenant's family in one room of the dwelling constituted a holding over by the tenant, so that the landlord, could recover a year's rent. The court held that it was a question Tor the jury whether, under' such , a state ; of 1 facts, there was In truth a holding oyer; by the tenant. The principle there Involved is not applicable to this case where the holding over as an act Is admitted, but sickness of members of the tenant's family is alleged as an excuse therefor. However much our moral sensibilities may be shocked by an action of this kind, under the facts aleged it can not affect the legal rights defined by statute."

The fifth annual exhibit of the Whiting' public and high school was Jbeld in the various buildings yesterday from 1 to 5 o'clock. . Each year the exhibit is. held, more Interest is manifested in the event.

Yesterday long before .the hours of opening, crowds of anxious parents and friends were awaiting admittance.

and not until closing time did the spectators cease coming.

Show in Each Room. Each room presented a beautiful ap

pearance with the excellent work hung In every available nook and corner.

The kindergarten work was especial

ly wonderful, several persons saying It

seemed almost impossible that little tots - should turn out such beautiful

work. There are specimens of their

work in clay moulding pottery, "weav

ing, knitting, raffia work, drawing.

cutting and even carpenter work, they

having made several doll beds, era-

dels and chairs. Several novel ideas

are worked out by the children which

prove more than interesting to the

older people, and thereby " encourage

the kindergarten training before entering the grades.

The drawing, knitting, pottery, raffia

and stencil work are carried on

through the grades, showing a' decided improvement, with each step.

The Sewing "Work. The sewing exhibit especially -at

tracted the attention of mothers who would smile and show a lock of satartlcle of wearing apparel handing on

the wall which had been made by their daughters. The manual training department as usual attracted the attention of "all. The work displayed this year is excellent, reflecting much credit upon both the pupils and the Instructor. Prof. George M. Baum. The work which received honorable mention at the University of Illinois exhibit was also shown. la the Kitchen. The cooking department which is a recent innovation, was not lacking in its display. There were loaves of bread like mother used to make, roast beef, creamed potatoes, muffins, apple fritters, pies and cakes of all descrip

tions, and several other dishes, which, make a person hungry to view them.

Cooking Is a fine art where the

food is fine. Ignorance does much damage in the kitchen and in the

stomach. Much of this will be saved, when it is: taught in school under a trained instructor. The exhibit to say the least of it. was a success, and was enjoyed by a large number of persons, thereby arousing an interest in several who perhaps were never before interested in the educational progress of our city.

Calumet Lake Property Holders Wonder What Has Killed the Park? Some time ago it was raid that a very large, park would be built on the banks adjoining Calumet' Lake, but up to the present time no movement has been made to that effect. The park was to cost $18,000 and was to be on the same principal as the one in Pullman knows at Palmer Park. The new proposed park was to be a beauty Fpot, as it Is away from all smoke and soon and is within easy access to the Calumet, South Chicago railroad company's cars.

Paris June 6 The famous French military school of St. Cyr, founded by Napoleon, will be one hundred years old tomorrow, and it is proposed to celebrate the centennial in a notable manner during the coming week. Reunions of the graduates, dress parades of the cadets and historical exercises will be features of the programme. As a permanent memorial of the centennial the war department has issued a golden book of the graduates. These include five marshals of France, 1,100 generals and about 30,000 officers of all ranks. The records of these cover practically the whole field of French military glory. St. Cyr usually has from 700 to 800 pupils and graduates about 400 officers annually. It is now run on lines resembling those of the United States military academy at West Point, but in its early days the training was rough and the discipline severe, Duels were frequent and it is on record that in the first five years fourteen lads were killed .and more than 100 wounded in personal encounters.
