FT. FRONTAGE WEST OF SOHL Posner & Throop Negotiate Big Deal for Newly Organized Corporation. With the close of negotiations yesterday involving 650 feet of State St. frontage, vacant and Improved, between Cakiey avenue and Sohl street, Hammond is promised an expansion of Its business district greater than any since it has been since the beginning- of the war. The Merchants Improvement Association, an Indiana corporation capitalized for J65.000, sponsored and financed by Hammond men is the moving spirit in the venture to add more business, power and prestige to State street. The officers of the company are: Sam Silver, president. S. H. Ward, vice-president. Sam SchlesJnger. secretary-treasurer. The above officials together with Theodore Souliaa and David Posner constitute the board of directors. No Information was obtainable to day os to the purchase price, but It is estimated that the deal, involves property valued between 1175.000 and 200,030. The entire deal was handled by tho Posner and Throop real estate company whcre offices are a 6C6 Oakley avenue. The Idea to concentrate the various holdings into a corporation was conceived and carried out there, and while they are satisfied to appear only as the agents in the transaction, no little of the credit for tho Initiative .and execution is due them. Tht ultimate object of the deal is to build up State street, between Oakley avenue and Sohl street both the north and south sides Into a continuous line of business buildings. How soon ground for the first of these will be broken will depend to some extent on the demand and the corporation Is assured of plenty of that. ,The properties Involved in the deal are as follows: On tho north, side, fifty feet vacant Just east of the Burns Funeral Home, Leo "Wolf, owner; fifty-seven ft, improved with a three store business building, owned by Frank, S. Bets; fortythreo feet, vacant owned by W. B. Muir. fifty feet, occupied by two cottages, owned by Sam Levin; one hundred feet occupied by three cottages and owned by S. Hecht; fifty feet west of the "William HaS3p property owned by Dr. Warber. On the south sldo: 100 feet east of the Chicago Produce Co. store; owned by Messrs. Kaufman & Wolf; one hundred feet improved with a residence owned by Frank Hammond; fifty feet with a. residence, owned by William Kleihcge, The whole transaction appears as one of the most logical investments made In Hammond at any time. The promoters have satisfied themselves that there is in the first place a continued and pressing demand for more business houses, and secondly that the inevitable trend, particularly for the smaller mercantile establishments is toward, the great east side with Calumet avenue as its main artery. The deal Is one of city wide Importance. MANAGERS TALK ABOUT VALUE OE IT Night schools and the bet method of interesting; men in them was the chief topic of discussion at the meeting of the Tri-City Employment ManRitrs association In East Chicago last evening. Superintendent E. N. Canine (f the East Chicago schools was pres ent and explained the plans of the Cast Chicago school board and asked tor recommendations as to methods of interesting the various classes of work nien. The discussion tended to the belief that better education would help the plants greatly by decreasing the labor turnover and increasing production. The question of continuing the organization was put by W. J. Huber, lie president, and all members present were of the opinion that the organization should be continued and could be made a great value to the industries. In the discussion which followed it appeared that some plants, possibly a majority of them, are stiil short of common labor, but that in riany cases the plants have all the men they want. The next meeting of the organization which will be held next month will be held at some place in Hammond, the place to be selected by A. K. Thompson of the Standard .Steel Car company. At thin meeting- a speaker from one of the large Chicago industries will speak and an effort will be made tr Interest a larger number of Hammond Industries. AMERICANS HELD IN RUSSIA, FREE MOSCOW. Oct. 12 VIA WIRELESS TO BERLIN. Oct. 13. Five Americans detained in Soviet Ruosla on the charge of espionage, including Albert BonI of New York, will be released". It was officially announced today.

HARDING IN TENNESSEE FOR SPEECH

G. 0. P. Hopeful of Breaking Into Solid South With AntiLeague Message. BY GEORGE Jl. HOLYES (STAFF CORRESPONDENT I N. SERVICEl EN ROUTE WITH SENATOR HARDING, CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Oct. 13 . Senator Warren G. Harding carried the gospel of republicanism and opposition to the Paris league of nations Into "enemy" territory today. Confident that this year will see fulfillment of that long-cherished re publican dream the breaking of the solid south Senator Harding invaded Tennessee for a single speech. This will be delivered tonight at the TaberI nacle here, and indications are that it i will be crowded to its capacity of 8,000 seats. Not since the days of reconstruction has Tennessee given an electoral vote to the republican candidate for president, but this year the G. O. P. chieftains .figure the state to be the weak j link In the democratic southern chain. I They are banking heavily on antlI league sentiment In the state, as indicated by the fact that one of the demo cratic senators from Tennessee, jonn K. Shields, was an outspoken critic of the Wilson program during" the long treaty fight In the senate. Senator Harding's special train arrived In Chattanooga at 8:15 o'clock this morning. A reception committee headed by Henry Clay Evans, former consul-general to London met the Harding party at 9 a. m. and from the train a sight-seeing trip by motor was begun which was to occupy most f the day. The battlefields and historical points about Chattanooga were to be visited with a luncheon for the candidate atop Lookout Mountain. An hour's public reception at the Patten hotel will be held late this afternoon at which Senator Harding will receive and shake hands with hundreds of Tennessee republicans. After the speech tonight. Senator Harding will return to his train to spend the night." The tratn will "lay over in the yards all night and rem out caxy tomorrow to travel leslurely north with many rear end platform speeches along the route. A night speech will be made at Louisville. Senator Harding's Itinerary for this fl" day invasion of the border state bt been re-vamped several times, o that in addition to the four big -t speeches originally provided for at Chattanooga, Louisville. Indianapolis and St. Louis, he will make at least two dozen short talks from the rear platform In cities in Kentucky, Indiana, Missouri. Illinois and Ohio, before getting back to Marlon next Sunday. Whether an eastern trip will be made In the next three weeks was still undecided today so far as Senator Harding himself knew. The impression exists aboard the Harding train, however, that at he conclusion of this trip the senator will confine himself to his own front porch and several Ohio dates for the duration of the campaign. 20 POINT JOIN ELKS LODGE AT GARY rSPECIAL TO THE TIMES) CROWN POINT.

Dalton, president' of the Daiton Coal, company of Gary, Ind., today admitted to members of the special coal and food commission, that hi company had sold coal at higher prices than allowed by the commission in t.i recent order because he thought ":t was not the purpose of the state ol Indiana or the commission to force any company or c orporatlon to lose money."

"We've got them licked." Senator' Tom Taggart told Gov. James M. Cox today as they left here for another day's strenuous "campaigning in central and northern I.idiana. Both Cox and Taggart are enthusiastic as a result of the reception accorded Gov. Cox. All dvmoctctic stato leatlri agr:e that tj-e party s orgin-atl t in '.lis state is in the best condition in many -. ars. The governor's program today includes speeches at Delphi. Logansport, Peru, Wabash and Fort Wayne, with many rear platform speeches at, intermediate points. A committee of Indiana women has urged tbe governor that some sort "f symbol be adopted to indicate support f the league of nations. They assert that the wonw n of Indiana are for tno league, not from partisan but from re. ligious motives, and they argue that many women ordinarily of republican persuasion would be glad to display in their windows some kind of non-partisan placard announcing their allegl?nce ta the league. Gov. Cox has taken the sugestlon under advisement. Gov. Cox Is determined to continue his attack upon Senator Harding for alleged vacillation with respect to the league of nations. From now until election Gov. Cox will continue his contention that Harding has no fixed conviction about the league but is merely trying to hold the warring elements of the party together. In this way Cox hopes to bring about a split between the BorahJohnson "irreconcilables" and the Root-Taft factions which, he believes, arc sincerely in favor of the league of .nations. Gov. Cox was in good humor today as a result of the victory of the Cleveland baseball club in the world's series. He sent a telegram of congratulation today to Trls Speaker.

BY WILLIAM M. NAUADER LONDON. Oct. 13. The signing of the ,Russo-Folin peace protocol it Riga leaves Soviet Russia today with only one powerful enemy to combat the army of Oen. Wrangel on the Crimean front. Advices from Riga and Moscow Indicate that the soviet will concentrate all its available fighting forces against Gen. Wrangel's army In an effort to win a military decision or to force the ant l-Holshevik forces in southern Russia to make peace. ,The Russo-Polish peace protocol was signed at Riga last night, but the armistice on the Ruaso-Pollsh battlefront will not be effective until Oct. IS. POLAND GAINS. The peace terms give Poland large acquisitions of territory to the north, east and south of her old boundaries. She will share In Russia's gold reserve, but will get no indemnity. Poland will secure a corridor to the Baltic between sLlthuanIa and Soviet Russia which will make impossible an alliance ; between these countries and shut Russia off from a direct commercial route to the Baltic through Lithuania. Russia and Poland agreed not to interfere with each other's domestic affairs. With Russia and Poland at peace it js possible that the movement may be revived for a general peace conference of Russia and the Russian border states in London. France would prove an obstacle tsuch a parley as she has resognlzed the de facto government of Oen. Wrangel which is actively at war against Soviet Russia. H. W.
