HORSE RACES

Cap. Streeter Now Resident Of E.Chicago King of Squatters Again Prepared to Go Into Court Alter Lake Front Land. Captain George Wellington Streeter if "Street erville" and " District of Like Michigan' fame who for the past year has been making his home in Kail Chicago is again prepared to fight for possession of the property from which he was ousted by an armed force in th winter of 1918. Attorney E. G. Ballard of Gary, will rile suit in the federal court at Chicago this week and with capitalists of Chicago backing Captain Streeter with more than halt a million dollars is prepared to carry the fight to the highest courts. Captain Mreeter. after being forceably evicted from his home in the w inter of 1918, boarded his houseboat. "The Vamoose'' and after a few months of moving about steamed into the East Chicago-canal w here he has lived Quiet

ly since that time. Only a few citizens of the city knew- that the old man who walked up and down the canal was Captain Streeter who lays claim to property along the north ehor in Chicago valued at millipns of dollars. With almost a year's residence in East Chicago back of him the captain has now catablished a residence in Indiana, a fact which will permit him1 to sue for possess. on of the "District of Lake Michigan" in the federal courts The captain has always maintained that the courts of Illinois had no jurisdiction ver his property v hieh is "made" land and thai it was in no way a part of either Chicago or the state of Illinois. Upon this contention the captain and his colonists with force of arms resisted all attempts to oust them from "Streeterville" for almo.-t lw,nty years and in one raid a man by the name ol Kirk was killed. For this Captain Streeter .was found guilty and sentenced to life imprisonment but was later relcased and returned to his home where he lived until 1918. During his stay in East Chicago Captain Streeter has been very sick and at one time his life was despaired of. About a year ago he was struck in the eye with a piece of wood and as a result lost his eye. An inteciion followed and tegcther with a stroke caused a serious illness from which the old man is only now recovering. He still has trouble in articulating clearly but expects to recover fully and still give his enemies a hot fight in the courts. Captain Streeter will probably have against him in his new fight the millionaires who have their mansions on Chicago's "gold cast" and who have years objected to the captain's po.-ses-sion of "Streei erville."

Miss Theodora Booth, only dassrhter of General and Mrs. Ballincton Booth of the Volunteers of America, was married recently to Lieut. Jess A. Montee, whom she met while on duty with the A. L. F. Lieutenant Montee attracted her attention by nearly losing his life in a heroic attempt to rescue a drowning aviator isf the Moselle river. . GARY WAS STARTLED i JR WHILE When a Chicago checkered taxi cab ; pulled up in front cf th First Na4ional Bank in Gary la; yesterday afterI noon and the otc.upats nervously eyed the interior. -JlVie bank. ome one thought that thLtio intended to bold f.up the bank hV-J they notleed .a arun i sticking out of one of the men s back j pocket and turned in an alarm to the 1 police. In another five minutes the news spread in the business district i that an attempt had hen made to blow i up' the bank. Other rumors followed I on us heel. . Upon the arrival of the police they I took the three men and the driver tn1 to custody and brought the mto the j police station where they were ques tioned. According to their story one of the men, a former Gary foreigner had come out to Gary to draw some money out of the bank. Earlier in the lav he i had received a telegram that his brojthr had died and that the body was j being shipped to h!ni for burial. I Upon hiring a taxi cab to bring him j to Gary, the foreigner was sJrprised ! when the driver of the car put two j other men in the machine with him ! and fearing that It was a plot to rob j him after he had taken the money out of the bank - secured a revolver and placed It in his pocket fr protection. According to the" two other occupants one of them had previously been employed as a driver in Chicago and says he had never been to Gary, was invited to take the ride. The local police believe that the foreigner might have made a remark about drawing a large amount of money from the bank in Oary and that it may have been an attempt to hold him up whil they were on their return trip to Chicago, After the man had drawn his money which amounted to something like $4"0 he was advised by the local authorities to take a train back into the city.

C. E. Hughes Is Out For Harding

Justice Hughes Scores Both! Cox and Wilson in Hard- j ing Endorsement. j MARION. O., Aug. 25 Charles! Evans Hughes, republican candidate for prendent in 121S. came out today ith an unqualified endorsement of t'enat-i Warren G. Harding after -ptiding 24 hours in Varion. In hit, first formal utterance since ihe Chicago -convention, Justice Hughes not only expressed complete con- ! ficlcr.ee in the 1920 nominee, but he1 also gave his approval to the plan of i an "Association of Nations for Inter-' national Justict" proposed by Senator Harding in his speech of acceptance. It is generally believed that the details for such a combination of governments are now being worked out in Europe by Ellhu Root and will later be injected into the republican campaign as the G. O. P. substitute for' the league plan brought back by President Wilson. Its function would be to promote international justice and its powers limited to the decision ot Justicible questions." Justice Hughes also took occasion t score briefly both Gov. Cox nd President Wilgon. The nomination of Gov. Cox, he said, was brought about by "baneful influences,'' while President Wilsons "obstinacy" alone is responsible for the chaotic condition of our foreign relations. Senator Harding and Justice Hughes conferred at length over campaign matters and particularly the league of nations issue. While Justice Hughes position on the league issue has never been widely known, it has generally been accepted that he sided with a majority of the republican senators who voted for reservations. Present also at the Hughes-Harding conference was Col George Harvey, an irreconcilable rpponent of the league and the Wilson administration. "It is hardly necessary fir me to say that I shall earne.stly support Senport Senator Harding." said Justic-.-Hughes today. He is a man of rare poise, high minded and sincere. N one can meet him without being impressed by his exceptional capacity and his integrity of purpose. "He has complete familiarity with the problems cf federal administration and we can feel assured that he w ill maintain the highest standards in g v ernment. He knows how to secure economy, to put an end to the extravagance which has marked the present administration. "We cannot afford to have a Tammanyized federal government. The nomination of Gov. Cox wasbYoegh; about by the skillful and determined effort of local democratic bosses who represent the most baneful influences in our political life. There i; one sure way to defeat thir effort to captur the government at Washington and that is to beat their candidate. "I believe also that Senator Harding's election w ill afford the surest way of securing our proper relation to international co-operation . This country must do its part, but it must reserve the right to act in any future contingency according to its duty aJ that contingency reveals it. "The essentials in nia.ny really effective plan for international co-operation are to establish a tribunal of international justice where justiceable questions are concerned to provide the machinery for conciliation, and t' secure the advantages of international conference. All this can be secured, and I bel'eve will be secured under the presldncy of Mr. Harding w ithout' guarantees which attempt to commit us to unknown contingencies and which w il lserve as trouble breeders and not as peacemakers . "We should have had an effective international organization long ago if it had not been for President Wilyon'a effort to commit the country to indefensible guarantees and his obstinacy In Insisting on his own plan without the modifications necessary for our pro teotin." Justice Hughes left here today for St. Louis, where he will attend a meet lng of the American Ear Association., Senator Harding's only definite engagement today was a brief speech to j a delegation of Wyandotte county fO ) j republicans who will come to Marion! for a front porch talk. WHITING SUIT IN SUPERIOR COURT Two suits have been filed In the Ham mend sjperior court against William Zimmerman et a!-. of th Dimmer GogglepCo.. by Attorney J. H. Fetterhoff of Whiting.
