SERVICE vA&Iu.Mi.U.y June lb. me auministration's ship subsidy bill will pass the nouse with a provision prohibiting- the sale of intoxicating liquor on vessels operated by the United States shipping board, according to nil indications today. Republican leaders of the house were prepared to surrender to the ardent prohibition members, who are making this demand in exchange for thoir votes In favor of the bill. President Harding is Insistent that the bill be passed Immediately and eleventh "hour pleas of House leaders that action ba deferred until next winter failed to change hii purpose. This plea mi presented on behanf of the Home by Speaker Glllet and Republican Iveader Mondell. Finding no change in the president's position because of the controversy raging over the sale of liquor by me shipping board. House leaders azud their chief concern v as to get t:e bill through the House as soon as possible, even if they had to submit to a "bone dry" amendment. Representative Esmonds, Republican of Pennsylvania, who has been fathering the shipping bill for the administration, today offered the House merchant marine committee a new provision, making It an offense for any foreign or American ship to bring liquors within the three-mile limit of the United States. This drastic "bone dry" proposal was presented as a substitute for the Bankhead amendment, denying the benefits of the subsidy or compensation to any American ship which carried or sold wines or liquors. Bach of these prohibition measures were considered today oj the merchant marine committee. Representative. Volstead. Republican of Minnesota, author of the pro. hibitlon law. stated that the Edmonds amendment would nullify any treaty provision with which it conflicted. There remains a doubt, however, whether such a law could require any foreign ship to do more than to seal up Its liquor supply. In this even, the discrimination against American passenger ships would continue to exist. While the committee considered the prohibition amendments. House leaders pushed ahead with theii work of getting ready for passage of the subsidy bill. Plans have been made for taking the bill on Thursday under a special rule.

NEWS CREATES LOIS OF EXCITEMENT

Indications are That Madison Terraos is Due For Big Sale. "I am going out to Madison Terrace and get that farm." That is the expression that Is heard on every side rince the sensational an nouncement of the firm of Woods fartin & Company that they Intend to give away not only a farm, but $250,000 in first payments on lots and $100.00 in cash prizes. There is every indication tnat Madison Terrace is due for a tremendous sale. Threo new streets are to be opened up for the first time. These have recently been paved with oncrete. They are Jefferson, Monroe and Jackson sts. This will give everybody a first selection from hundreds of lots. A representative of Woods, Martin Company said toda: "There are so many things In the air that for the first time in the history of Hammond we can honestly recommend vacant property for investment and speculation. "Roger Uabson. th- great statistical expert, bas made the positive statement that unimproved real estate is now the best buy in tho market. This is his reasoning. Due to the war which caused embargoes on building materials, high prices of materials and labor and which even Increased the price of old improvements, the cost of Improved property soared. "Now materials and labor are cheaper and conditions are so rapidly approaching normal that new houses are able to afford much more active competition to what has already been built. "This means that people wanting homes will, from row on., build them to conform to modern tendencies, to suit their own particular demands instead of buying old improvements. "This, of course, means a rapid absorption of vacant real estate. For with the sreat housing shortage, estimated to amount tj 1,500,000 houses In the whole United States, there is bound to be a building boom that will last for ten years. "When you add to these complications by the further fact that Hammond is now a city of absorbed subdivisions end further by the fact that Hammond is undergoing an industrial development that is nothing short of phenominal it may be seen that big money is gVng to be made out of lots in the near future." LEGION DENIAL Hammond Post No. 16 of the American Lelon Is not In on that prize fight at Porter next Saturday after all.

Yesterday It was stated that an agreement had been reached whereby the Hammond post was to receive a certain sum and a percentage of the receipts. Now it appears that the post had entered into no such an agreement. The following letter from Commander Cupp and Adjutant Thorsen explains It: ' "Editor Lake County Times, Hagimond, Indiana.

I beg to advise that the use of our name in this matter was never authorized, and that no agreement of any kind has been entered into by the Hammond Post and the promoters of the bout, and further that we shall not receive a penny of the gate receipts.

Labor Represented at Federation Convention Forecasts Railroad Strike By WARREN W. WH EATON STAFF CORRESPONDENT !. N. SERVICEJ CO.NVE.MiO.N hALU Cincinnati. Ohio. June 16. Labor, represented in the American Federation of Labor convention here, today accepted as inevitable a strike of union railway employes sometime in July. Already railroad workers through out the country have speeded up the casting' of the striko vote. Larly returns Indicate an overwhelming majority In favor of the strike. B. M. Jewell, head of the Railway Employes department of the American Federation oi Labor, and other rail union heads aland authority for that statement, I Doubt, which has existed among many dolegatts In convention attendance today, stood brushed aside by this declaration and the assertion that a strike appears the only means of combatting the railroaj labor board's wage cut of over $luu,000.000. Highest officials ir the labor movement in the country take the admitted position that there can be no peace while the railroad labor board is operative. Decision to strike is entirely 'n the hands of the 2.000.000 railroad workers. Another week and it is expected tabulation of the strike vote will begin. There is no doubt among rail union leaders that the vote will demand a strike. Dissolution of the railroad labor board and destoration of wages to the level before the recent slashes were made might ptove to be the only alternative of averting a tieup, leaders assart. IRISH GRANT By DAVID M. CHURCH STAFF CORRESPONDENT I. N. SERVICE LONDON, June 16. The Irish constitution grants such extensive powers to the Irish Free State that some parts of, it were hailed today as "an experiment in Socialism." A gasp of fcurprise went up from the entire nation when the document was made public, for it proposes reforms and grants a degree of democracy exceeding anything ever before attempted in British dominions. Nominally Great Britain will retain control cf Ireland. The press for the most part gave a cordial welcome to the document, although the Tory "die hard" newspapers question whether Ireland will live up to the tpirit of the instrument. Those who hailed parts of the constitution as an experiment in Socialism referred to the initiative and referen-lum, state control of Irish resources and kindred matters. Parliament will take up the constitution . in . the. autumn after the Dail Elreann at Dublin has ratified it. It is learned authoritatively that Premier Lloyd George is not overly optimistic, expecting Eamonn do Valera to make a strenuous effort to amend the constitution so as to eliminate the oath f allegiance.

A true bill Infers a criminal charge, but do not indict in either manner unless you have evidence sufficient to warrant prosecuting the person or persons with reason able expectations of convictions, and this evidence should be the only basis upon which to anticipate the results of prosecution upon any criminal charge. Tou may have heard vaifotts opinions expressed, as the co-trt has heard, as to the purpose or motives for the publicity given existing conditions in regard .to law violations in this court, but be not misle&d In this respect, as it makes no difference to any one charged with the enforcement of law as to whether or not either has any purpose or motive or as to whai such purpose or motive, if any, may be In exposing existing lawless conditions.
