LA FOLLETTE) United States Senator from Wlsoons'.n. (Written for the International News Service.) WASHINGTON. Nov. 26. Surely the time has arrived for some one to take notice of the dangeroua secrecy of tho Anna Conference. The advocates of secret diplomacy are ha-vlng a field day in Washington, yet no one seems to mind, despite Inevitable bitter consequences. The three open sessions have been dramatic formalities. The real business l3 'behind closed doors and no one knows what these men are doing. If it Is right to conduct this conference In secrecy, then the secrecy of the Versailles Peace Conference was Justified. The newspapers are printing columns of mntter which Is merely guesswork. Reporters are rot to be blamed. They publish wh-at they can get. The official announcements and the blind in 3IV0RCE CASE k BARS NOT TO Conflicting eialms set up by plaintiff and defendant made it a difficult matter for Judpa Critos to get to the bottom of the divorce suit of Stella Baltun vs. Gust Badtun which was tried Friday afternoon in Room 2 of the Hammond superior court. Oust had fi'.ed a cross-complaint to off-set Pf-lla' claims of non-support and cruelty. He told how she had left home for a month, leaving a sixteen-year-old girl to take care of the house and two children. Gust fired her and lilted one nineteen years old. Stella said Gust was drunk nearly all of the time. Gust Insisted he never waa drunk and seldom touched liquor. Stelia said he told her the only place she would ever amount to anything was at "Big Bill" Subottch'e placo or the State Line. Gust said he never sail any such thing. And so it ran. Everything that Stella charged. Gust denied and everything charged by Gust waa as vigorously denied by Stella. They have two children, a boy and girl. Gust wanted tho boy while S-tclla wanted both of them. The rmirt finaly decided to grant Stella (he d'voree and also gave her the ehildren. However, he stipulated that they were not to be taken out of the Jurisdiction of the court as he intends o se that the mother furnishes them a proper home. Gust Is required to pay $10 per weak fo rthe support of the children. Open Season For Bandits at st. i. oris. INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE ST. 1iLiS, .Mo., Nov. 26.

Hansen, a marine, who shot Otto Lambrecht near Gn-een ' Bay. Sunday, when Lambrecht attempted to steal a ride on a train. At the instigation of Gov. Blaine, District Attorney Young at Green Bay has produced a warrant for tho arrest of Hansen. The marine. It is understood here, has been recalled to the Great Lakes Naval Station "and naval officers there have refused the request of the Green Bay authorities, that they be permitted to arrest him. They were also denied the privilege of questioning him. according to word received here. WEST HAMMOND NOW SA West Hammond Is becoming more and more citified. This fall a broad cement street was constructed through the city, the first section of a concrete highway which is to link the city with Chicago. Then the progressive citizens put over their pet park plan whereby they are to have a recreation center right In the heart of the residence district. Now West Hammond has a boulevard. The city council took the momentous step last evening when it decided thut Sibley street was to be protected from heavy traffic. Sibley Ftreet Is p&v'od with brick and is probably the 1 -t in the city, aside from Rlmbach uv-rve. It is a residence street and is rapidly being built up with fine homes. Heavy vehicles will be barred from Sibley street between State Line street and Freeland avenue. At Frecland avenue, Sibley street Joins the new concrete pavement which will ultimately extend west from the city limits tl the base of Western avenue, in Chicago. The concrete highway Jotw south on Freeland to Rlmbach avenue and thence east to State Line street. All trucks will henceforth be routed over the cement pavement. The council ordered boulevard atop signs to be placed along Sibley street and the police are ordered to enforce the new ordinance. ' A penalty is provided for persons violating the rules. THE state hlghwnfv commissioner were reported to be in the county today viewing the new Lincoln highway pavement near Dyer which Is in the courts, the contractors having sued Sam B. Woods and others for $160,0000 damages, claiming they falsely said tho Job was not according to specifications.

8S 4 n suf j-f a One Group Looks t Jbo It .It Wood Candidate U.S. Senate ror TIMES BUREAU AT STATE CAPITAL INDIA.NAPOLI3. Nov. 26. Two achools of thought relative to the Republican senatorial contest have developed In Indianapolis and in other parts of the state. Ono group Is confident Senator Harry New will have no opposition In tho primary and tho other believes there will be at least four persona entered as contenders. The argument preaented by the leaders who - are declaring Senator New will not bo oppoaed points out that It is getting late for aspirants for tho nomination to make announcements of their candidacies. This delay In making announcements la making Senator Naw'e chances for buoceas all the more solid, they ajsert, because many persons arc tired waltli.g for developments and are Joining the organization backing the senator. This Is particularly true of the leeaer lights In the organization who aim to make certain of the band wagon bofore they do any climbing. There Is no doubt that In stjrh Republican strongholds as Lake county there are a number cf persons who would be .willing to Join their efforts to promote the candidacy of Albert J. Beveridge. They have felt that he would make the race. Now thay are beginning to weaken In this belief and are letting it be known that tho time is fast approaching when they will be forced to make their declarations. It Is obvious they can not declare for a man who is not & cmduidate and may not be. On the other hand the frttsnds of Senator New are active and have been for months In preparing hia organleation. He will arrive in Indianapolis Deo. 3 to take active charge of his campaign for a week or two. Upon his arrival It is expected that his headquarters will be established. I: is very likely the headquarters will be placed in either the Claypool or Severln Hotels. The Republican etate committee headquarters are In th'i latter hotel. It seems that one or two other persons, who would like to get In the race, are Just waiting for somo one to break tho Ice. This Ice breaking Is being left to Mr. Beveridge. Republicans are not Inclined to force Senator New to make a primary race. It 19 this aentiraont which seems to be keeping the contest olear of other aspirants . The entrance of Former Senator Beveridge into the race would immediately give these persons an ex cuse for Jumping In.' One of the men who is persistently referred to as a likely candidate for the senatorial nomination la Judge Arthur R. Rob inson, who was In the army and waa appointed to the Marion county bench by Governor McCray, la not showing any symptoms of becoming a candi date for a Judgeship, but on the other hand seems to be e-trongly Innorfulated with a desire to go to the senate. In reference to Judge Robinson it might be said he played a conspicuous part in the Lew Shank campaign in Indianapolis. He was one of tho few leading Republicans, and about the only Marion county Judge, who canto to the Shank standard lmmadlatelv following the mayoralty nomination in the Mary primaries. It is hinted th.T Judge Robinson would necessarily receive courteous consideration, tu say the least, from the hands of the pres ent Republican organization in the seventh district, should ho elect to rrn for the senate. No ono'says. however. he would be the choice of that or ganization, should it decide to repudi ate Its platform plank which boldly set onj "we will keep our hands off of all primary elections." This plank in the city platform in Indianapolis Is already beprinnlr.g to bo the subject of much conjecture Recently Lew Shank showed an in clination to forget some of the -,relection hostility f-.r tho tV 't faction of the Republ'can orf.vH.itl n in this city by infortu'n lTTi.-n!i . five Men til Moores 1 at tr ment of Robert Etymon f Indiana?'
