South Side Apprehensive Over Threat Of Detroit Streeters to Sell Their Homes to Negroes.

FOB SALI Several choice locations on South Side, Hammond, near food school and street car line, are open to respectable colored families who desire to buy their own home. Address a 117, Times. The "open door" policy to Homtwooii, Hammond's exclusive residence district. ihj introduced in the above advertisement last night and created a sr.r ;'iroughout the South Side of the city. The "for sale" ad was inserted by n n Kiiber of property owners living next :" the- new coal yards of the Calumet Coal A- Supply Co., at Detroit and Hink streets. It followed the injunction of ;he. city by Judge Anderson from intorrring with the operation of the yard. "What elsa can the property owners .!?" questioned K. W. Miller, an official of the Standard Steel Car Co.. living- at 1140 Detroit street. "Wo might as veil 'act; the issue squarely now. Why wait six months until the damage has been l'r.e? In case the. coal yard is permit''.1 -who else will want to live here?" The threat will enlist the sympathy -inJ aid of the entire south side In ap;.allng from Judge Anderson to the Chicago CourJ of Appeals. It is believed. The following letter from Harry W. Margenau to The Times indirates the sentiment that has been aroused: Llditor Times: "The advertisement In The Tnrrs offering to sell Detroit street property to n--groes and the article on the front page should be of vital interest to every property owners in the Homewood district. For the past few months a few live homo-loving citizens on Detroit and Highland streets have been trying- to save their property from depreciation and most undesirable conditions created by the location of the Calumet Coal nd Supply Company on Detroit street. " Our city council tried to protect the property owners by passing an ordinance and refus-.ng a permit to the coal . empatiy to operate on these premises. The coal company secured the services f.f one of our lawyers and the case, was heard by Judge Anderson of Indianapolis who ruled that the srdinance was invalid, and the Calumet Coal and Supply Company opened the yard and started to haul coal under the protection of sn injunction Issued by Judge Anderson. Heretofore, this has br-n considered a Detroit street fight, but when the croperty owners on Detroit street herein so discouraged that they offr their homes to negroes. It Is time for very property owner In Homewood and also the business men of Hammond to v.r up and take notice. It has been ?iid that Homewood is the garden spot of the Calumet region and it will be the ne resident district of the new city after amalgamation. QUICK ACTION MAT SAVE IT! "There are many colored reople in 'he Calumet region who would bo quick i') take advantage of an opportunity to live in a neighborhood like Homewood and when ones located, no laws in the United States can remove them. In less than two years' time you will have a black belt directly through Homewood. next door to Glendalo Park district and jU the coal sold in the next ten years oild never pay for the damage and loss lo the city cf Hammond. "We have enough big men who have .V.ne thing' to build un Hammond v ho .an certainly find a way out of this difficulty. Mr. Gk-ndaie Vrk, when y'ir auto Is out of order, how will you Hlto to wait on the same comer and et on and o't the car with colored people? Mr. Presbyterian church member, how long do you think it will be before Vou will be offering to sell jour church to the colored conpr' gat ion ? Mr. HIeh School Tarent. do you know that your children wi'.l have o pass through Detroit and Highland streets to get to the Industrial High School? "Sow, according to the law it seems that the coal yard is goini? to operate on Detroit street against the wishes and lo the detriment of more than three hundred home-loving and best citizens of Hammond, but how these men expect to lo any business in the neighborhood where every properly owner has been Injured to such extent that thy are wi'ling to sacrifice tieir homes rather than live under these undesirable conditions, is more than anyone can underVwind. Yi'U cannot blame the property owners fr wanting to quit the fight; neither can yuu blame the colored people if they take advantage of the offer to live In this beautiful residence district, but thire is a remedy for every evil and It Is up to every man owning h. piece of property in Homewood to riET BUST and take up the flsht with as much interest as if he were located on the same street with the coal yard. "The Times has taken up the fight for ' a pood cause many times in the past and it is hoped that the publicity given this matter will arouse every propertyowners to some action. If you have a To.oni) home, it will be worth about JJ.500 if the cole red people can secure property in the neighborhood. I know it for I lived in St. Louis once where I saw the same evil creep In.

Of the "different kinds cf whiskey what they are," the Joa. B. Frazier 100 proof liquor Is probably the best or the worst whichever way you look at whiskey. At any rate this Frailer booze has the kick of a IV.herty Motor. And after drinking it a gentleman by the name of R. E. Morse comes around the next day and hands the victim an Iron cross. You know Mr. R. E. Morse Remorse. This Introduction Isn't an advertisement or a prohibition lecture (depending on your viewpoint). It merely leads to a news item. E. N. Bunnell of the Bunnell Auto Sales Co. sold a car at the auto show and took an old machine In trade. When the old automobile was brought into the garage Mr. Bunnell found a quart bottle of this here Jos. B. Frazier booze under the back seat. Indiana beintr a prohibition state, Bunnell felt a little nervous with a bottle of whiskey around and he turned it over to Cart. Strong of the Hammond police department. Capt. Strong demanded to know where it came from' and said he would thnow Bunnell in jail for 100 years if he didn't tell. It is a serious situation. The police are compelled to keep an exact account of every drop of liquor they confiscate. They must know Its history. Everybody concerned wishes to goodness that the booze was off their hands. If some unprincipled scoundrel would only steal It! About the best plan suggested yet is to exhibit It at the auto show tonight. Some bird might do a favor and take it home. And do it tonight. Neither Bunnell or Strong will be able to get a minue's rest until that stuff is out of the way or accounted for. Bunnell don't want to turn up a customer to the police and Strong hates to throw a progressive citizen In Jail. And something has to be done about ' who wilt keep E. NT. Bunnell out of jail? Cot-? Gorgo Green, federal agent, Is hastening back from Indianapolis to begin a thorough probs of this latest my stery. Added Note Capt. Strong is a member in good standing of the W. C. T.

By EAZLE C. BEITIS (X. N. S. Staff Correspondent.) LONDON, March 14. The return of President Wilson to Paris is being watched here with the most intense interest and with mixed emotions. One note that has been struck in the press recently, particularly in the weeklies, is that all is not well with the league of nations plan. WA2ITS BUT DOESN'T W1HI, James Douglas, "writing in The Star, argues that the whole wants a league of nations but yet is consenting to It destruction in Paris. He asserts that "details about peace in Europe will bo revealed in a few days," adding: "Reaction in France, Italy and elsewhere will be exposed and the pitiful rapacity of little nations will be exposed too. If I mistake not, the man who will tell the truth to the plain people is President Wilson." OPPOSITION TBOX SENATE. It is impossible to say what Is the basis for Mr. Douglas' charges but European statesmen have learned that President Wilson can and does talk to the plain people of all countries; also that opposition to Mr. Wilson's league of nations plan in the American senate has not undermined Ills power to go straight to world constituencies with any problems that may arise. rsjuss juA?rsx:a speech. The recent speech of Secretary Lansing at Parts, warning of anarchy, has encouraged certain critics who relieved that the old line diplomacy was gaining tho upper hand in world affairs. These critics expect President Wilson to Introduce his visions for the pacification of Europe. Tho M ter Guardian. In commenting Secretary Lansing's speech says. "It has cleared the mists that the superheated London press gathered to hide the realities in Germany." END MARKING TIME. By JOHN T. FAXKEB80N (X. N. S. Staff Correspondent.) PARIS, March 13. With the arrival of President Wilson m Paris toiay tne period of "marking time" came to an end and the peace delegates will now plunge Into their work with renewed energy to settle the vital peace problems awaiting solution. This has been one of the quietest weeks since the pesce conference opened. There were a few committee meetings such as thos dealing with labor, waterways and reparation, but for the most part the delegates either rested or held informal conversations among themselves. All have been eagerly awaiting the return of President Wilson and one of the uppermost questions heard today was: "What will President Wilson do now? Has his trip home changed, his mind on any of the material Issues?" The supreme allied war council again convened this afternoon, but there was no meeting yesterday. The decision for a volunteer army In Germany is apparently having a reaction uron the domestic policies of some of the allied countries. France and Italy are still doubtful of its effect.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., March 14. How Judge Anderson gave Wolf Marcovich of Indiana Harvor the limit for the transportatioa of liquor into Lake county after he had pleaded guilty furnishes an interesting sidelight in the way Anderson "treats 'em rough." PAST SETS NTT HABK. "How in the name of heaven could I make such a difference between Markovtch and these other defendants?' Judge Anderson asked, interrupting a Plea by J. H. Conroy, of Hammond, counsel for Markovlch, for consideration of his client because of his standing as a man of family and of property, who Is past seventy years o age and who recently has undergone two opera tion for appendicitis. "I couldn't sit here and look these poor fellows in the face," said Judge Anderson, "if I were to do what you ask. I couldn't sleep tonight with such a thought to rankle in my mind." Markovlch attempted to make a plea in his own behalf when Judge Anderson snapped. "I'm going to send you to jail all right and if you don't stop talking I'll send you right now!" CONBOT MAKES EXPLANATION. Conroy explained' to Judge Anderson that the whisky In question was to have been imported by Markovlch for "hH own use." The "use" he intended to make of it, the attorney said, was to give half pints of it as present to his steamship ticket customers among the foreign clement in Lake county. The transaction involved 2.000 halfpints of the liquor, of which Brennan

was to have received a part, apparently for helping Markovlch with the schema. According to a statement made by Gray to a revenue agent and introduced aa evidence, Markovlch and H. May, of In-
