COURT CONVENES ON TUESDAY
Judge Anderson to Abide in Hammond for Time.

Tuesday will be devoted to motions and to the disposition of the 122 second . paper cases which are filed with Deputy Vnited States Clerk Charlea Surprise.
Unfavorable weather did not deter West Hammond citizens from turning out last night to celebrate the dedication of the new1 Wentworth high school building. More than 300 patrons and all the school children in the 155th district, in which the school is situated, witnessed a nice little program that
Superintendent A. G. Heaver, with the
assistance of his teachers, had prepared for the occasion. The Hon. K. G. Blair,
state superintendent of instruction.
who was on the program, was unavoid
ably detained, and sent his assistant.
M. R. Booth in his place.
In the afternoon at 3 o'clock there
was a flag raising. The ceremony for last night consisted in the presentation of the keys President W. R. Patterson of th
school board presented the master kty
and the symbolical clas keys to F. X
Tobln, superintendent of schools of Cook county, and he in turn presented
them to A. G. Deaver superintendent of
the West Hammond public schools. The symbolical high school key was
presented by Mr. Deaver to Ruth
Mathews and Irene Brusel, while the grade key was turned over to Marie Zimmerman and Adalaide Mayer. The hlarh school and the grades In turn responded with chorus singing under the
direction of Miss Edith B. Beardsley. music instructor for the West Hammond schools. The program opened with a concert by the Wentworth high school orchestra and a chorus by the school. It was also closed with singing. Assistant State Superintendent Booth as part of the program delivered a fine address along educational lines. The evening was a memorable one in the history of West Hammond, and the splendid $45,000 school reflects credit on the school board and on the taxpayers. That the latter are appreciative of the work of the school board was shown when the board members took their places on the rostrum. The au
dience gave them a big ovation.
The members of the school board are Messrs. W. R. Patterson, : president; Fred Siegrist, secretary; C. H. Mayer,
treasurer; G. R. Knott. O. J. Brusell,

NINAS STORE OPENS SEASON JITH IIUSIC Artistic Windows Indicate the Progressive Policy of Managemnet.
The K. C. Minas Co.. as announced yesterday, commenced its spring opening sale today and will continue it for one week. To mark the occasion orchestral music was riven in the big State street department store thia afternoon and will be continued this evening. Tasteful decorations add to the store's attractiveness during this season( but best of all the progressive management is backing up its advertisements and alluring windows with the real goods on its counters and shelves. The metropolitan business atmosphere of the house is reflected in mag nincent windows, which display an artistic, rivaling the big stores of Chicago, and the patrons are getting an advance taste of what this store will be when its new addition will be completed. In its various departments the store
presents some features for which the management claims that there are none better In the state, and in this connec
tion It emphasizes its millinery and
ladies' ready-to-wear departments.
The windows showing stylish men's
clothes and shoes indicates that much
regard has been had for the sterner
sex.
Altogether the spring opening of
such a big institution as the fc.. c. Minas Co.'s store is an event of real
interest in shopping circles, and to visit the store tonight or next week
will be a revelation of what some of
the progressive merchants in Hammond are attempting. i
slowly overcome and, although credits occasion much special Inquiry, the spring activities broaden seasonally. Heavy productive Interest are feeling the effects of disorganized car service and scarcity of Uasto material. Iron and steel outputs, however, run notably higher than at this time last year. Inquiries for distant, deliveries have become numerous In moderate tonnage and there is sharp demand for prompt shipments , required for railroad and other repairs and replacement. "The restoration of transportation facilities apparently will not be long delayed or as costly as feared. Gross earnings of the Chicago systems show little change and car loadings continue unusually high, notwithstanding much decline in crop marketings. Fabricating plants and car builders steadily
gain In active capacity, and most of the metal working branches Increase the output, especially farm implements, hardware, electric and motive power, brass and special machinery. "More urgent calls are made on the planing mills and furniture makers, and supplies indicate remarkable absorption for local building and outside construction, the latter becoming extensive In factory structures, track elevation, railroad extensions and public works. The leather working lines obtain fair advance orders and the hide and leather markets remain active and firm, prices firming up on the eagerness of consumers to secure future needs. "Hank clearings. $303,774,526. exceed those of corresponding week last year by 8.7 per cent," and compare with I276.S73.987 In 1911. "Failures reported In the Chicago dls. trict numbered 28. against 33 last week, 34 In 1912 and 29 in 1911. Those with liabilities over 15,000 number 7, against 12 last week, 8 in 1912 and 19 in 1911."
WYMAN TAKES
A PARTNER F. I Wayman, who has been In' the
real state business In Hammond for some time has just admitted August Dubbert to partnership In the firm of
F. L. Wayman Company.
Dubbert speaks German and will
take care of the large and Increasing patronage that Wayman has among the people of that nationality. Mr. Wayman has an office conveniently located on Sibley street and Is expanding his
business from time to time.
WEEKLY DRY GOODS REVIEW
Sales for Future Delivery
Declared to Be Gaming in Volume.
Marshall Field & Co., in their weekly review of the dry goods trade, say: "General trade In dry goods during the week has proceeded normally, with sales for future delivery forging ahead on a very satisfactory basis.
"The seasbn's novelties are apearing prominent among which is black velvet ribbon for millinery and trimming in widths from two and one-half to six
Inches. Laces for underwear are also coming Into vogue. Undergarments made entirely of laces are fashionable.
I and re-orders Indicate that this will be
a good lace season. "Blanket and bedding stocks have become very much depleted In supplying the needs of the flooded districts. "Anticipation of large demand for women's and misses" coats In pile fabrics is being realized In sales, especially Arabian lamb cloth. Ural lamb and Astrakhan, in black, blue and brown. There is also evidence of another big season In plush coats. Very few mills In the country are equipped to make these fabrics as they should be made, and the slow process of manufacturing Is bound to cause a scarcity. Already someof the leading mills have absolutely withdrawn their lines and- will book no more orders at any price."

And thereby hangs a tale. Mr. Fuzy Is tojbe married. Just who is the fortunate girl is the fortunate girl is still a secret, excepting among the happy bridegroom's personal friends, as he declined to give out the name when approached by a Times representative, preferring that the announcement of the approaching nuptials should come from the young woman herself. 1 However, It is known that the bride-to-be lives in Chicago; that the marriage will be some time In May, and that the newlyweds will take possession' of their home In Beacon street about June 1, if the Wallaces, who are now occupying the place, can make arrangements to move into their other house In 145th street by that time.

REVIEW OF CHICAGO TRADE
Cross Currents Fail to Impair Fundamental Basis in Trade.
Dun's review, published today by R. G. Dun & Co., says: "While the course of trade is not devoid of cross currents and aggregate new demands upon the' leading industries are less imposing, the fundamental basis Is unimpaired and the buying power gathers strength from more satisfactory conditions in money and sustained agricultural outlook of excellent promise. .Bank statements this week testified to enlarged' use of funds in business. Payments through the usual exchanges again exhibit substantial gains and trading defaults reflect less commercial mortality than at this time In two previous years. s "Disturbances due to the floods are

Residence lots which were withdrawn from sale on March 10th are being offered today at advanced prices. Lots in our First Subdivision, east of Broadway, range in price from $350.00 to $1,050.00 each, west of Broadway in First Subdivision from $500.00 to $1,300.00 each. In the Second Subdivision from $475.00 to $775.00 each and in the Sixth Subdivision from $400.00 to $700.00 each. These prices include the cost of street paving and se-wer construction. The attention of the public called to our Second Subdivision, Fillmore street between 4th and 9th avenues, Pierce street between 5th and 9th avenues. If the reader has not visited this subdivision recently, it will pay him to do so. Note the bungalows on Fillmore and the high grade residences on Pierce. We predicted last spring, when we set aside Fillmore as a bunaglow street, that within two years it would be a feature of the city. It is that now. We believe that Pierce will be one of the finest residence streets in Gary. The character of the homes being erected on the street warrant this belief. We advise purchasers againstthe erection of two-flat buildings on the street, and we "advise them to built on at least two lots, giving spacious lawns and individuality to their homes. The Second Subdivision is within ten minutes walk or five minutes ride of Broadway and fifteen minutes ride of Indiana Harbor. Our Second and Sixth Subdivision should and will appeal to men employed in East Chicago and Indiana Harbor, who desire to give their families every advantage; desirable, wholesome surroundings, paved streets, beautiful lawns, sewers, gas, electricity, uncontaminated water, the best schools in the state and the protection afforded investors because of our restrictions. Buchanan street will be improved this spring.
