BY WILLIAM L. MALLABAR STAFF CORRESPONDENT I. N. SERVICE! LONDON. July 13. Eanwnn De a leri 'resident of the Irish republic1 spent today conferring with Sinn Fein and Enclish political leaderb preliminrv to his meeting with Premier I.lovd Georee tomorrow. The Daily Telegraph warns against undue optimtism, pointing out that me Dublin conference between the Sinn Fein and the southern Ireland union ists were successful because all concerned car&fu"y avoided anything definite on Ulster. So far there is no sign of a compromise between Dublin and Ulster. On the contrary, Ronald MacNeil, M. P.. one of the Ulster leaders told the International Xews Service he was sure the London peace parley would fail owing to De Valera's insistence upon a republic in Ireland. 'If England gives the Sinn Feinn complete independence, I tee nothing lor it but for Ulster to fortify h-?r frontiers and prepare for civil war," Paid Mr. MacNeil. "So far as the conference concerns Ulster, her position Is that it has nothing to do with the northern province. "Ulster has her own parliament and her own constitution. She will refuse to allow them to be Interfered with on any Question. Any concessions -t. these points by Sir James Craig, premier of Ulster, liieana immediate" repudiation. The position taken oy Sir Maurice Poikrei! and Lord MiJle- .' n (two southern Irelard Unionists) means nothing to the Unionists of i is-er. T oy are nmiy Vakn's. nominees. As for DeValev- it is :nuii; he w-ul J act b- allowed to negotiate esc in it the r1. o' !'. lii'e :n any basis but '.ht of fcniplctc inicrendenc. .M i that ' ni' of the tiuestlon. The-efor, while I am anxj lis for I -'Eh peace, I ara witVoul hope?" Large toll" of auxiliary police, who were granted leave of absence in Ireland on account of the armistice, are arriving in England. There was much public curiosity over DeValera and crowds gathered about the Grosvenor Hotel hoping to get a glimpse of him. The Sinn Fein loader did not much resemble the head of a republic when he arrived. His hair was long and tousled. He wore an old tweed suit much wrinkled. His soft collar was melted down. De Valera's face is deeply lined with wrinkles. Evidence of tiie heavy strain he has been under. He told his friends he was much gratified with the ovation given him and he thought It augured well for his mission. IS TRIED FOR MURDER SPECIAL TO THE TIMES CROWN POINT. Ind., July 13.

WATCH 0UT1 You might be on the lookout for Lhesc birds when you're motoring in the country. Holdup men have turned several tricks like this in Lake and Porter counties. The holdup men have two schemes, they work on upsetting drivers. One is to lay a tire down in the road, and when the car stops to pick up this tire the holdup occurs. Another is for a stranger to be walking down the road in the same direction the car is traveling. He asks for a ride, is taken in, and then pulls a gun on the driver.

EXPECT GREAT THINGS OF GARY KIWANIS Club Organizer Praises Newly Organized Steel City Organization. The International Kiwanis club Is gaining a strong following in Lake county, according to William Millard, club organiser, who stopped in Hammond yesterday long enough to attend the noonday luncheon of the Hammond club at Chamber of Commerce rooms. Mr. Millard was returning from Gary, where a new club has Just been started. He reported that the steel city aggregation had a splendid sot of officers, a fine crowd of men, and an excellent representation among the businesses and professions in the city. Great tilings ara cxpoctcd of the Gary club. In addition to this organization. East Chicago and Indiana Harbor are reported to be thoroughly solid on the Kiwanis idea. J. C. Young, chairman of the organization committee of the Hammond club, spoke briefly on the possibilities of the East Chicago group, and he believes that a live organization Is certain. The hot weather, however, may hold up the organizing for a few weeks. Whitir.r will be the next place for the club to strike. A survey by the state district shows that there are great possibilities in the small but lively town, and the Hammond men will get busy over there in the near future. Mr. Millard complimented the Hammond clut on their splendid spirit in the meeting. He said, "It i3 remarkable that in the warm weather we have had. that this group of men can get together with so much pep and hold such a live, profitable meeting." Don Grove, chairman of the entertainment committee for this month, and salesman of safes, got in a bit "f good advertising when he obtained Frank Erion of the Lloyd Thomas Co., Chicago, to speak at the meeting. Mr. Erion's talk was straight from the shoulder and whije his subject was in regard to the value of pres.s business records fo that in case of fire, the loss could be adjusted satisfactorily and quickly, it was fo interesting, and so vitally applicable to such a gathering of men. that Groves was forgiven. He furnished the best kind of entertainment. The Rev. J. C. Parrett. pastor of the First Presbyterian church, spoke briefly and interestingly on the duties of a minister, and proved beyond a doubt that a preacher has plenty to do and little time in which to do it. Bert Snearon won in the drawing of names and received a large box of sta tionary, donated by Homer J. Postlewait. A letter from one of the boy scouts sent to the camr hv th TC'. wanis club was read. Judging from! his remarks, the lad had the time of his life. SODA DEALER T Should quality and siz5 of portions be reduced at fountains in order to get 10c sodas and sundaes?

CHILDREN TO HAVE Through co-operation of the Rotary Kiwanis and Woman's clubs of Hammond the children are to have access to two of the public school playgrounds during the summer months. Arrangements have already been made whereby the playground equipment at the Wallace and Irving school will be at the disposal of the small children each day. Tho movement is planned as the forerunner of better things ffr the children of Hammond. It is expected that later real playgrounds will be establifhed in connection with th.i city's parks. The clubs are standing the expense of hiring attendants to supervise the grounds while the children are there. They will d;rect the games and will also take the children on little hikes to wading pools and some of the wooded tracts within the city limits. The attendants will take care of the little! ones, see that they are not subject to danger and are not "run over" by older children. Owing to the fact that the school playgrounds have no grass or shada much of the day will be spent in the parks. The playgrounds will be opened Friday and will be open each day thereafter from 3:30 o'clock in the morning until 5 o'clock in the evening. No age limit has been fixed for the children, but it is expected that this will adjust itself. Applications from persons desiring the work as attendants are now in order. W. R. Beatty chairman of the joint committee from the three clubs has already received one application but several more arc desired. He may bo reuched at his home over phones 130 or at the Ecatty Machine & Mfg. Co.. phon 3000. The committee in charge is composed of W. R. Beatty and Dr. G. L. Smith of the Rotary club, Mrs. Dan Moran and Mr$. Fred Jarvis of the Woman's club and Dr. W. H. Davis and Attorney W. J. McAleer. of the Kiwanis ciub. The u.mmitteo will remain in charge of the work for thio year at least and the clubs will stand the expense of hiring the attendants. H is hoped tllat later the city will be able to place suitable equipment in the parks and furnish attendants with police powers the same as is done in Chicago.

SIMONS TELLS ALL THAT IS NECESSARY Why Federal Prohibition Enforcement officers Have Not Raided Fish Houses. The little Item in the "Did You Hear" column of The Timos yesterday regarding the open sale of liquor over the bars of Wolfe Lake refreshment places caught the eye of Chief Gus Simons of the prohibition forces. The squib at-ked the dry men why the sales were permitted". Mr. Simons this morning said the only rea.son he had not taken a hand in the matter was that his men had never yet been able to buy a drink at any of the places. He thinks the proprietors have the spongeiuen spotted for each time they have tried to get a little nip tho barkeeps have met thm with bland smiles and informed them that they never stoop to such low business. Of course Mr. Simons has been hearing of the violations of the liquor law from authentic sources all along but ho can't raid the placets on some one's statement. It must be "made in writing in the form of a complain against the violators. Then . armed with this and the necessary search warrants Gus and his men will sally forth and mako a cleaning. He says people are ready enough to talk but they back down when it comes to sign- i ing their names to complaints. Every raid which federal men have made in enforcing prohibition has been based on specific information gleaned by agents or from persons who have actually seen violations and are willing to lend their names to law enforcement. So if anyone wants to sc-e th bright lights dimmed at the iish houses all that i3 necessary is to tell of the time he let them soak him thirty cents for a glass of punk beer or seventy-fivo cents for some whiskey which nearly took the lining out of his Ftomach and then fign on the dot ted line.

Committee Is Appointed to Confer With Association Over Club's Price. The membership of the Hammond Country Club win offer the Country Club Association, owners or the property, a price for the grounds anq club house in the near future, it was decided last night. A committee of cli e, consisting of B. J . Sttelman. T. RTennant, George Chap in. Fred Crumpacker, R. O. Wincklcr, W. J. McAleer Roscoe Woods, Judge V. S. Reitec and Glenn Peters was appointed by President Coman Scott to devise a plan of purchase. They decid. d to make their own appraisal and ofi.r a price, as the association hao .ilod to do so. The meeting was the most representative turn out of member ve-r held in the club's history. A tentative estimate of the amount at which the property could be purchased was made by A. M. Turner, a member of the association, who indicated that $100,000 would probably an acceptable price. MAY LOCATE FURTHER SOUTH, Should the association and tho membership fail to coine to an agreement, the club has the rccourte of purchasing property south of Hammond wi'h the money to be raised and build another club. P. W. Meyn asserted that it was "a serious mistake" on the part ox il association in nt giving the membership an opportunity to buy the club. The option on the property, which has been given to the officials of the Cok County Feirest Preserve, would havo undoubtedly resulted in the club and golf crursa being lost to Hammn0, had not the contemplated deal bvcome known. The option held by the Forest Preserve on the club is a verbal one, and while there is a moral uUligatlon that the association stick to the agreement, members of that body Indicated that it might be canceled. WHAT'S IN IT FOR FOREST I'RESERVEf There is more than a suspicion that the officials of the Cook county Forest Preserve will profit greatly should the deal go through. Hints of a "rake-off" were passed freely if privately last night among the 200 members present. Tho appraisal of the property by the officials will v to accepted without question by tho state of Illinois, and a Jttlir.g amounting almost to certainty is evident that this is the plan. A price of 11800 an acre might be set on the property. The generally accepted appraisal is about $1,000. What will become of the extra $800, is the question. Will thi association profit? There is no doubt but that the officials of the Forest Preserve will. Is this the reason for the attempt to keep the transaction under cover?

The Hammond Country Club is the property of the Country Club Association, a group of thirty men hi bought the property, built the golf course and club house, and leased it to the membership. LEASE RUNS YEA It BY YEAR. Later, the club being in arrears, according to the terms of the lease, a new agreement was made, superseding the old. whereby the club was rented at a rate of $250 per month, the lease running from year to year. According"" this, the club has no rights beyond those granted to the end of the rental year under the law. There is. however, a moral richt. Attorney Fred Crumpacker. speaking on this idea, pointed out that the members of the association were also members of the Hammond Counrry Club, and therefore there should be no question as to the right of the membership to fe offered an opportunity to buy the club. In a lengthy discussion, which went to the heart of the question, Mr. Crumpacker asked that the association present a proposition to the club for the purchase. He was loudly applauded for his remarks. It was brought out at the meeting that the club is essentially a poor man's club, the dues and entrance fee (Continued on pa two.
