BOY ARRESTED FOR AIDING JAIL DELIVERY John Aikman, Who Passed Saw and File Through Bars in Custody.
The department of Justice yesterday took Into custody John Aikman, age IT. of 353 Sibley street. Hammond.
who confessed that he provided the I
tools for the Jail delivery at the Hammond police station June 29, last year. Sam Heifer. Otto Krause, James P. Moore and John Iiwler were held at the station as deserters from the 25"th Aero Squadron at Garden City. L. I. Aiken visited them at the Jail and Heifer asked him to purchase a sawblade and file. The Inducement of-
fered by Heifer was that the "gang"
had a thousand dollars hidden In the city of Whiting and if Aikman helped thejn out he would get a share of the money. In his confession Iikman states that he let Itussell Kikert. a member of the Home Guards. In on the plan, and that Bikert accompanied him to the store while he made the purchase and was with him when he delivered the saw blade and fll through the bars to Heifer. The four soldiers sawed their way to liberty but were later caught. Iikman left town and only recently returned. Aikman made his confession to Special Agent Green and will be given a hearing by Commissioner Charles Surprise.
A member of the board of education announced today that A. K. Spohn of the public schools of Minneapolis will return to Hammond to take the position of principal of the high school, left vacant by the resignation of Urank P. McKlroy who has been made assistant superintendent of the schools of Kockford. 111. Mr. Spohn was Knglish teacher in the high school a number of years ago. Hundred Seek Job. Ote- a hundred applications for the position of superintendent of the Hammond public schools hate been received by the board of education which has not announced as jot the name of the man who will be employed to take the place of C. M. McDarnel. A suggestion that. William Wirt, the famous New Tork city educator who is superintendent cf the schools of Gary, be made superintendent of the schools of Gary. Hammond and East Chicago tmpioed by each school city to install the lamous Gary system, has been favorably received by some prominent men of the city. It will be hard for Hammond to get a big city man for the salary it offers. Good educators are no longer so poorly paid. If East Chicago, although looking forward to amalgamation with Hammond, would not care to employ Wirt and give the cities a universal school system, Hammond could do so anyway. Wirt would put assistants on the job to carry out his great system of public school education that has stood the fire of criticism by conservatives from coast to coast. It is very probable that of the hundred applications for the position not one is from a man who has been superintendent of schools in a city of more than twenty-five or thirty thousand population.

CONFESSIO
Daughter of Davis Lewis Says Confession of Aubury Dennison Is False Because Father Had No Money in His Possession.
The case of the state against Aubury Denison. East Chicago, was on call for today but was continued until tomorrow. Police matron Mary W. I.indl.-y returned last night from Wabash. Ind.. where she went to hae a talk with the Lewis girls in regard to the .. onfession which Denison made in regard to his killing the girls' father, David Lewis. Mabel Lewis had not heard about Aubury's confession hut told a straight story, drawn from her unsuspectingly, confirming many of tha things that Denison said in his repudiation of his confession. She declared that she was not interested in Denison any more and did not particularly care what became of him. She sal 3. hoewver, that her father and Aubury were good friends so far as she knew, and that she didn't believe that he had anything at al to do with her father's death. When told about the statement that her father gave him $05 to hit him over the head and dump him into the canal, she made the same reply that has found utterance before and which all along has thrown discredit on the confession, namely, that her father did not have 55 cents In his possession, let alone 1 35. She believes that her father commit led suicide. Sho said that he had threatened to kill himself and that she and her mother 'had kept his razor hid on that account. When he was missing, they looked for the razor and found it gone. They feared then that he had It on his mind to kill himself. Judge Cohen will appoint an Insanity commission today who will give the oung man a thorough examination. Following the commission's decision, the preliminary examination on the charge of murder will be taken up in court tomorrow.
John Edwin Nevin rstaff corrfsfondent i. n. service! PARIS, Mach 20. The world's problems are now resolved in a
race between the forces of anarchy and those of law and order. The necessity for a settlement is most intense. Unless the first treaty of
peace is completed within a month the result will certainly be most serious to civilization. This statement, made by one of the biggest factors at the peace conference, shows just exactly what insiders feel concerning the need for haste for getting something accomplished which will permit the world's affairs to be diverted into normal channels. WILSOIT TAKIITO NO EIST.
H also explains why President Wilson Is taking no time for rest nor almost imperative outdoor exercise, but Is devoting all of bis wakeful hours to speeding up the peace conference machinery. President Wilson with Premier Lloyd George and Premier Clemeanceau ar deciding all matters. The other delegates are no ionger real factors here. rresid;r.t Wilson and Premier Lloyd George are in complete accord. Premir Clemer.ceau has differed on some, matters but the differences were mora oil details than on principles. IT IS THE "FIRST TEXATT." There is no longer any talk here of a. "preliminary treaty." The document now under consideration has been officially named "The first treaty." The name describes it exactly. This document, when submitted for signatures. ill conta'n all of the important problems which can be settled hy the conference. Also, it will refer many ordinarily great problems to a later day settlement under the league of nations. The peace commissioners pointed ouf today that the first treaty must more or less include every possible final agreement. This was the compelling influence behind President Wilson's demand that the league of nations constitution be made a part of all treaties. Bringing the league of nations into being gives opportunity to submit to it new detailed territorial "alignments and limitations. Furthermore It allows the completion of the mandatory system for the former German colonies and other such problems, lightening the actual burd'n of the peace conference. The first treaty will remain in complete force until the league of nations allows the redrafting of a later one. probablj' in May. ' What difference does it make how long the first treaty Is to remain effective a month, a year, or even longer- . so long a it accomplishes its objects?" said a Uritish delegate today.
