While the president has been apprised by Acting Secretary of State Polk of the resolutions passed by th senate demanding submission of the peace treaty to that body without further delay and providing for an Investigation of the alleged reeipt of the document by private interests in New Tork City, the attitude of administration officials today remain unchanged. Many Guesses Made. At the capitol there was widespread speculation as to what effect the senate's action might have on the. president, but a number of senators stated that they did not expect he would alter h!s position that the treaty was till under negotiations and therefore not yet rr'the final form in which it must h presented to the senate for ratification or rejection. Discuss Comia Froha. In the meanwhile preparations were being made for the meeting of the senate foreign relations committee on Monday at which the method to be pursued in conducting the proposed investigation is to be fully discussed. Poh senators were of the opinion that ths entire committee should undertake the probe, while others thought tliat a subcommittee should be appointed for that purpose. Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts.

SUIT FILED THIS MORN

Another damage suit growing out of the circus train wreck at !anhoe last Ji.ne was filed in the Hammond superior court this morning by Attorney Frd Barnett for William A. Bree. administrator of the estate of Halph Sorcea against the Michigan Centra! Railroad Company. Sor?a's father and mother who were dependent upon him for their suppori. according to the complaint, live at New Haven, Conn. The administrator asks for $10,000 damages. Attorney Burnett has tried four before the Indiana Industrial Board and decisions are expected soon. Three were death claims and one as a personal injury. The claims had been nld against the circus company but prospects for getting more than nominal damages are said to be meagre as the circus is now In the hands of a receiver. It seems that representatives of tht company had appeared before the boa'd at one time declaring they were ?.bie financially to carry their own risk, had been allowed to operate without carrying insurance.. The wreck came shortly after and aa the season had been a poor one for the show business, the disaster found the company in no position to meet the drain of death and injury claims. It is expected that one of t lie ruits against th railroad can be tried at Hammond this fall and as tht allegations are practically the urn? in ill of the many which have been filed, the first case will be a precedent of which the others will be disposed of rapidly.

Parisian Dancing Masters Grumble at Tango Restrictions, While the Secret Dance Halls are Marry

! CATTLE

BREEDERS

By ROBIET J. PEEW f STAFF CORRESPONDENT I. N SCRVICE1 FARI3 (Ry mail.) The dancing masters of Fans have launched out into a vehement denunciation of the government's continued ban on night dancing No attempt was made to lift the restriction over the Easter festivities, and with Paris on the eve of her first "season" since the war began there is still no prospect that th.' lid will be taken o!T with ofiicial approval. But while the government is determined uot to allow th gay city to return to her old-time careless gayety as long as the country is suffering from the aftermath of war. clandestine dance halls are growing in number weekly. The I'nion of. lanoing Masters has gien out the statement th.it this state of things was only to be expected when the authorities refusrd to permit bails in the ho'els and salons of Tarts. They complain that the ban deprives them of their menns of livelihood and leaves the road clear for immoral and unscrupulous profiteers, who by th scandalous extortion practised in th secret choreographic dens of the city are sending thousands of American officers away from France with false Ideas of Freuch greed In order to probe the extent of the scandal a Krench investigator made a night tour of Taris. "f was told to go to a certain Montmartre theatre after the show was oer." he said, "and ask for Eugene, the hasseur. who would direct me to a dancing hall run by 'the Countess." I found Kugene eafrer to help. "Take this taxi." he said. n1 for 13 the driver will take you to the Countess's and drive you away at 2 a. m ." "We drove right, across the city to a peaceful little street on the left bank of the Seine and found about twenty automobiles drawn up in the neighborhood of a small shop. I tarred several times on the door, but the only echo was the strains of a 'much mustard' that drifted out softly through the shutters.

"I knocked again and then a head peered round the half-open door. 'Full up.' I was told. 'We've already refused thirty people. Come back tomorrow at a late hour than this and hand me one of these numbered cards." "The door closed and I was left with the numbered slip and a promise of gayety the following night. "The driver laughed. 'Oh, that often happens," he said: 'but there are other places. Kiki at the Theatre will give us another address." "Kiki was another theatre chasseu. H drew $2 from me and handed me the address of what was styled a 'private mansion' at Neuilly and a card bearing in English an invitation to dance the tango there. We drove'out to the fashionable suburb, and half an hour later $4 admitted me to a villa with a prOm-

J (se to partake of the forbidden fruit.

"In a very small hall, reeking with perfume. I found about twenty perspiring couples jammed on the floor trying to dance tne tango. Three sleepy, baldheaded old men formed the orchestra. "The atmosphere was unbelievably foul. For $10 you could drink a wretched liquid labelled 'champagne." Of true, care-free gayety there was no trace." 1 1 1 1 ' - L'

TAX BOARD SET BACK BY JUDGE

Court at Rochester Finds

Ousting of Stockberger Not Warranted.

ROCHESTER. Ind.. Jun 6. The In di&na. Btate board of tax commissioners was given t. setback in its 'first attempt to remove an assessor, when Jud; Stevens of the Fulton Circuit Court this afternoon reversed the decision of the commission in the case of George A.

I Stockberger. Newcastle Township as-

sfsesscr. this cuty.

Mr. Stockberger was Removed from office about two months ago following a hearing at Indianapolis on charges ct Incompetency filed by County Assessor J. W. Byerer. On proposal of attorneys for the commission apd Phillip Zoercher, a member of the board, the case waa decided on the evidence given by Stockberger at Indianapolis. Ths argument hrre lastd about two hours and the Judge then gave his decision finding that Stockberger had not been proved incompetent and asserting that he believed Stockberger had don this duty. Mr. Zoercher intimated that the case would not be appealed. Earlier in the day Judge Stevens refused to dismiss the case on the motion of the attorneys for Stockberger that the commission was without Jurisdiction In the matter; Decision of Importance. The litigation is of considerable importance in the state, because it is the

.first test of one section of the law en

acted by the last Legislature. Delay on the part of the state tax board in send

ing t Rochester a transcript of th evidence In the hearing at Indianapolis prevented hearing of the appeal at the March term of court here and put Stockberger out of Ms Job Just a month longer than necessary, his attorneys maintained. The present term of court did not begin until this week. . The court room was fl!ld with witnesses for Stockberger. but none was used.
