CITY 10 BUILD liil 01 Harrison park In Hammond has been selected by Mayor Brown and the board of works as the site of a new fire station. Mayor Brown stated today that it had been tentatively agreed to build a fire station at the southeast corner of the park at the Intersection of Waltham street and Lyman avenue. Immediate necessity of a fire station west of the Monon railroad and south of State and Hohman streets has been thown by recent railroad crossing blockades. Fire trucks from the Central station have been held up twice In the past two weeks at Hohman and Logan streets. To save the downtown district from a dangerous fire which might easily gain great headway while the fire, department was blocked by trains. Mayor Brown decided to build a new station immediately. He declares that a department in Harrison Park will serve the downtown district south of State and Hohman streets and the south side residential district. "There Is nothing definite about this matter," said Mayor Brown. "But we know of no better place to put the new station than Harrlton Park ' E.

ALL RECORDS ME BROKEN AT Last year's records are broken every day by Orak Shrine's big Indoor circus. Figures 'tabulated at the temple this morning showed that In the three days which the show has been operating the receipts have amounted to practically as much as tho first week last year Tonirht will bring out the largest crowd to date. This afternoon the big auditorium was Jammed to the doors woth children. They were all anxious to attend the birthday party of Old Tillie, the military elephant who was 107 years old today. A mammoth four-story cake with fancy trimmings and bearing 107 lighted candles graced the center of the ring. Tillie, Pit, Tony and Clara, members of the troupe were seated on tubs around the table. The cake was cut and large proportions were served to each elephant. All of th'e children were given a chance to sample the dainty. Tlllle was at her best today. In spite of her years she maintains perfect control over that dangerous look right hind foot with which she rubs the nose of Dan Noonan. her trainer, in his nerve wracking stunt Each performance Dan stretches out on the ground and allows Tillie to step across him. She halts with her hind foot over his face. It moves back and four, closer and closer. Then she shifts a little and seems about to crush his hand. But she never fails to get across safely after Dan gives her that little pat on her left foot. The act never fails to bring several screams from the spectators. Tonight the piano will be the prize given away during the show. Last night's winner of the overcoat was Mrs. George Dickson. 106 Plummer avenue, Hammond The Hammond Clearing House association has also hit on a stunt in connection with Its exhibit in the Palace of Progress. The association will give a prize of $25 to the person who makes the closest guess to the daily average clearings of the affiliated banks for next week.

Bailey & Hutchinson circus. Mrs. Robinson was so impressed with Orak's production that she remained over to see It again tonight. Next week Medinah temple of Chicago will swoop down on Hammond At least 500 Chicago shrintrs will attend the circus in one delegation and others will follow them. There will be no performnce tomorrow and many of the circus folks are planning fishing trips to , Cedar Lake and the Kankakee river. South America and Africa were connected by land in the geological past, some scientists say.

First Time Day Is Celebrated As An Official French Holiday BY WILLIAM K. HUTCHINSON WASHINGTON. Nov. 11 From the Atlantic to the Paclfls, America turns aside today from common pursuits to remember her soldier dead of the World AVar on the fourth anniversary of Armistice Day. Led by the president of the V. S. in spirit at least, tens of thousands of citizens will pay honored tribute at the graves of men who gave their all for civilization on the poppied fields of France. The observance in Washington, officially sanctioned by the government, simply symbolizes the homage of a nation for its hero dead. President Harding, setting a precedent for all time to come, crossed the Potomac this morning into the hills of Virginia to place a wreath on the tomb of the "unknown soldier" who was brought back from France to begin his last long sleep on American soil a year ao today. This simple ceremony in Arlington National cemetery today heralds a similar recognition of the World War dead by president of the future Leaving the white house about 10 o'clock, with a cavalry escort, the president will be accompanied into Virginia by tho secretary of war and the secretar yof the navy. At the the secretary of the nan'. At the dent and the two secretaries will advance alone. The wreath, symbolizing the whole nation's tribute to all its world war dead, will be placed on the shrine by the president's own hands. An echo of the gun Are. which brought valorious death to the unknown soldi-r and his comrades In France will be sounded as the president nears the tomb. The I military detachment at Fort Meyer. Va.. Just a stone's throw from Arlington, will fire a twenty-one gun presidential salute as the chief executive's party passes. The burden of President . Harding's Armistice Day message to the American people was that the part taken by American fores overseas has imposed upon the United States "A duty to recognize that hence forward we must maintain a helpful and sustaining attitude in all the broaded relationships that Involve the nation." Hi" said that the first duty of America should be to their own dead, but that duty could not be "adequately discharged in narrowness an selfishness." J ,'That we may be guided." the president said, "to a Just Judement of th- time and occasion for further proof of our interest In the common cause of humanity, and in croosing the methods whereby to discharge the obligation this created, will be. I am sure, a fitting: prayer for this armistice anniversary." B sides President Harding's visit to Arlington, the only other Armistice Day ceremony scheduled here was a pilgrimage to the S. Street home of Woodrow Wilson. In accordance with a custom established last year, thousands of th? former president's friends and admirers will gather In front of his home late this afternoon to pay their respects. CROWN POINT.

TILE WHILE A WITNESS Hammond Man Takes Drink in East Chicago City Court Passing the bottle around Is taken for granted between good fellows in these days of prohibition and not commented on extensively. But when a man takes out a wine container in open court and deliberately passes it among lxls friends without hanling It on to the Judge, the act is considered unconventional. Wesley Elklns of RH5 Wilcox are., Hammond, was arrep'od In the East Chicago city court yesterday when caught by Judge Twyman taking- a drink of wine from a bottle. He was booked at the Ean Chl-ago police station cn a charge of vlolat. lng the state liquor law.

The Republican state organization could hardly believe its eyes when it received news that Hammond had given a majority of 531 for Beveridge in last Tuesday's election despite the fact that it Is the largest railroad centr In Indiana. It was taken for granted that in the railroad centers such as Hammond and Hunting Ralston would run ahead of Beverldpe. Add to this fact that Hammond Is normally a critical town and City rhai-man Cleveland comes In for a lot of plory. Clvela.nd has been city chairman during three stiff fights and came out victorious each time. He was city chairman when Hammond gave Harding 3, SCO majorHv in 1P20 and when the city went 550 Republican following a bitter city campaign in 1921.

Ex-President to Have Something to Say at Coming Election for Presidency

By J. BART CAMPBELL STAFF CORRESPONDENT I. H. SERVICE! (Copyrighi, 1922) WASHINGTON, Nov. 11 General Democratic rejoicing over the rout of the Republican "Old Guard" at Tuesday's election, former President Woodrow Wilson is today sharing actively m the hopes and plans of Democratic leaders still loyal to him for the election of a Democratic president in 1924 who will be rep resentative of his principle of government. From the familiar residence -'J4o b at.. N. w.. where he has spent most of his time since he left the White House a sick man. Mr. Wilson addressed a letter to Senator Caraway. Democrat, of Arkansas, which reflected not only the keen Pleasure luosoays election gave him, but indicated clearly, in the opinion of his friends, that he ex pects to have a voice in the selection of the next Democratic stand ard bearer. Th letter follows: "My Dear Senator: "It makes me very proud that you and other generous friends should attribute the the results of Tuesday In some measure to the people's thought of me, and I am truly grateful to you for your own generous expression of confidence and approval. "I have seen no detailed reports from Arkansas, but hope that the voting there went as you and Senator Robinson desired. "We must now clear our talatm and purify our hearts to offer tt the country In 1924 exactly the service it most needs and the candidate who can best render that service. "With warm appreciation and resard, "Faithfully yours, "WOODROW WILSON.' The letter was in reply to one written to Mr. Wilson by Senator Caraway In which he stated that "all your friends rejoice as much as you in the recent election results, which is a vindication of the principles for which you foufht." So much Improved is Mr. Wilson's health, and so keenly alert mentally Is he to "recent political developments, it 'as stated, that conferences between htm and several Democratic senators next week at the S st. house are not considered improbable. It may be tbat these conferences will be held while President Harding is in consultation at the White House with Republican leadtrs of senate and house tegardlng: the election and Its possible effect on the approaching session of concress. In the view of certain Democratic senators friendly to Mr. Wilson, two results of the elections may be: The eventual selection of Senator, elect Samuel M. Ralston of Indiana as the Democratic choice for president In 1924. The immediate selection of Sen ator Joseph T. Robinson of Arkansas as the Democratic leader of the senate to succeed Senator Oscar W. Cnderwood of Alabama, who has announced his intention of relin quishing that post. Ralston is already being men tioned prominently as a strons presidential possibility by a num ber of Democjats who are still af filiated with the so-called Wilson wing of the Democrstic party. "Watch Ralston" Is Ltieir aavice. Ralston is said to have never com mitted himself regarding the Lea-rue of Nations but thee are those who declare that he possesses qualifications for public office and views on public questions not unikely to meet with the approval or Mr. Wilson .and his friends.
