BOARD SECT GIVES HIS SIDE OF STORY

jobieski School Water Supply Creates a Big Stir in West Hammond. Children attending the Sobieski public aehool in West Hammond are stili carrying Their own sur-ply of drinking water with them. Resumption of the tchool'a regular supply of city water will be whenever the plumber assigned to the eaje locates the trouble and remedies it. The time is uncertain. Such is the hope held out by Adam Stao.howicz. secretary of the board of education of the South district, in discussing the school's troublei this morning. He deplores the inconvenience to which the thirsty kiddies are. put, but says his orders to the plumber were to get the water running as soon as rostsblc. The plumber's delay, he says, is due to the fact that, ponds of water, cover the unimproved street down which the water line lealirg to the school is laid. The plumber has no pumping outfit capable of draining these pools and so canrot do any ciea.va.tmg over the pipe line ur.ut the water evaporates or soaks away into the ground. With no rain it should bo possjbie to start work before long, but rains are uncertain things and r.ay keep the matter complicated for a long time. The. school will be in session untU June, so it Is cert.xin that i? the pipes are froz.cn they will be thawed long before then and there will be plenty of water tvfore the end of the term, e . en though the plumber Is unable to dig up the line. Mr. Stachowica brands as untrue the assertion which was ' mil that the lard had refused to reimburse the janitor for the extra water which Ms meter would show if he carried wat-r in buckets to the school from his home. The reason the janitor quit carrying water, he says, was the wastefulness ori the part of the children. Whether it w as just pure dev iushness on the part of the children or whether the.y vi ere put up to it by older persons, he do"s not attempt to say. but the fact remains that the youngsters would take a drink cut of the dipper arid throw a-ay what was left in it. Th result j v. as tiat a bucketful of water lasted cnly . thort time arvd the jarctor refused to carry any more. The 5c-e.retaj-y of the boa.rd cf education is of the opinion that the thirst of the pupils is net as great a It has been pictured by some of th patrons and that the matter has been magnified and agitated by gome dissatisfied persons, namely, what he calls the "hightoned Americans" who live down towards the Country Club and nearest the Indiana state line. These people, he says, object to sending thtr children so far to school and asked to have another house built nearer their part of town. This, he says, is up to the. county j board ef education and the district body has nothing to do with it. The Sobieski site has been greatly enlarged of late so that the grounds now cover an entire block of forty-eight lot. Mr. Stachow.cz is cf the opinion that a new, modern school house will be erected there soon which will be a credit to West Hammond. Maybe by that tune better water connecttors can be had and a real sewer laid, thus eliminating many of the present objectionable features frcm a sanitary standpoint. The Sobieaki school affair has created quite a stir in West Hammond. Many of the patrons have called up the city authorities on the matter, asking that some relief be afforded through channels other than the school board. However, it is purely a. mitfr for the rxard to handle, ir is said, and the Others w:il not interfere unless gro negligence u j shown on the part of the board. HOOVER TO RUN FOR I INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE 1 CHICAGO, March 31 National political circles were set humming today by the formal announcement of Herbert Hoover that he had definitely determined to enter the race for the presidency on the republican ticket. Taking a "middle ground'' on the League of Nations question and declar ing that he differed "with the extreme position taken by the president on participation In purely European affairs." and much as he differed with the views of persons who favor no league at all, Mr. Hoover announced his candidacy In the following telegram sent to Warren Gregory, president of the Hoover Republican Club of California. "I had not wished to enter nor could I hitherto see any real public service by entering into partisan political discussion, more especially pending the clarification of the diverging views of the different groups in the parties on the great new issues. In view of Mr. Hoover's announcement politicians are eagerly looking forward to the results of the primaries in Michigan, where a hot threecornered fight Is going on between Senator Johnson. Gen. Wood and Gov. Lowden. Hoover, who also is entered in Michigan now- is sure to enter this might and main, observers say. It was announced today that Hoover headquarters would be opened near those of the Wood and Lowden camps here. Don't throw you; iiszi a-.vaj -vithout reading the wmt id ptgo,
