This Week's News Forecast

Y II GAMY LAND

HEARD EY EUBE.

And now a Gary man comes and warns to know the difference between Sunday baseball and the other kind. About a score more of Gary saloonkeepers are trying to figure out Just what business they will enter into after next Sunday. One nice thing about February only

having twenty-eight days, is that those who are working on a monthly salary will get their pay envelopes just about three days sooner. So far the. grub in some of the Gary restaurant is so poor that one does not feel inclined to tip 1he waiters any exorbitant tips. AndVagain It will be some time before the town trustees will have to create the office of smoke Inspector. The question now also arises, will the foodstuffs have any tendency to drop in sympathy with the steel stocks. "Will the timid Blot machines in the future have to get along henceforth without protection? No, Indeed, there is no particular reason for finishing the Broadway pavement unless it would look a little more

attractive to Gary's main thoroughfare. The first finished product at the mills has been shipped away, which also further strengthens the statement that the mills are In actual operation. One way to keep the sand off the lots, which are filled with black dirt, is to get your neighbor to fill his with the- eame material. Nevertheless It would be just as well to walk your wife up and down the street past the millinery shop a few times. If she shies at all it is a 8ure Indication that she has a bee in Jier (Easter) bonnet. Oh, cheer up! even if the Sunday baseball bill has been vetoed we may etni enjoy crokcinole and tiddle-de-Wfnk3.

PLEASE SEND NAME! Citizen : We have received your second unsigned letter. You accuse the press of being subsidized because we do not publish your sensational charges coming to us anonymously. If you have evidence that the Gary police and city officials are getting graft from the slot machine combine, why don't you send it to us with your name. We will use the evidence we won't use your name. Now make good. THE TIMES.

Lured to Negro Shack and Robbed of ValuablesThe same old story of being lured Into a negro shack and robbed of his valuables was told at the local police station and in Judge Iluber's court when Lena Holmes and Charles Holmes, both colored, were brought up for trial on a charge of petit larceny. Eli Dupose was the complaining witness, who claimed he had been invited Into the Holmes shack, at Fifteenth and Madison street, last night. Some trouble arose, in which Dupose was struck over the head and then robbed of a small amount of change which he had in his pocketbook. Sergeant Rambo was detailed to the shack last night to arrest both Holmes and his wife.

Sheriff Thomas Grant was in Clary yesterday, holding a short conference With Chief Martin on business matters. Dr. C. A. Long has returned from Menominee, Mich., his former home, wtier he has been for the past few cfayer visiting his mother, who was suddenly taken ill. Dr. Long says that hat condition is serious, but that there haar beenlHtle change In the past few days. HarryKIng, the local real estate man, left last night for Wheeling, W. Va., Where he- will bo gone for a few days

Go to Tolleston. A large crowd from Gary will attend the big masquerade dance, which will be given in Kunert's hall, Tol

leston, tonight. Over $:00 In special prizes will be given to the best costumes, etc. The proceeds of the dance will go toward puxchasing paraphernalia for the fire company, which has been lately organized.

The opening night of Gary's first permanent the ater has been postponed by Manager Keasler from next Monday to a week from Monday. The reason for the postponement is that the

builders of the theater were delayed because of the non-arrival of the seats, which could not possibly get to Gary In time to be installed by Monday. Already many inquiries have been made in regard to the sale of seats for the opening night, and there is no question but what they will all be sold out within a few hours after they are placed on sale. There Is no question but that the new vaudeville theater will prove popular from the start. Sriuon Will Be a Short One.

The failure of the seats to arrive

has been as great a disappointment to

the owners and managers of the theater as to the public. Everything else about the building is ready for ' the

raising of the curtain, except the in

stalling of the seats. General Manager

Marcus Hyman of the F. and II. Amuse

ment company was preparing to book the first vaudeville acts until he was

informed yesterday that the date of

the opening performance would have

to be postponed.

It Is not known yet what the first

show will be, but Mr. Joseph Kuesler,

the local manager, says that the first

week's entertainment will be the best

that can be procured. It seems likely

that the theater will not remain open

during the summer season, beginning

in July, so that the present local the

atrical season will be a short one.

Washington, D. C. Feb. 27. The presidential inauguration will be the big event of the week, overshadowing all else in interest and importance so far as the American public is concerned. The national capital is counting upon at least 100,000 visitors next Thursday, when William II Taft will succeed Theodore Roosevelt as president and James S. Sherman will succeed Charles W. Fairbanks as vice president. The event will be marked by pomp and ceremony far surpassing any previous Inauguration. The program arranged for the pageant and ceremony Is virtually the same as that of other inaugurations during recent years. The president-elect will ride from the White House to the Capitol with the outgoing president and the vice president will occupy a carriage with the outgoing vice president. After Mr. Sherman has taken the oath of office in the senate chamber the senate and house of representatives will proceed to the stand at the east entrance to the capitol where Mr. Taft will take the oath of office and deliver his inaugural address. All the rest of the day's program will be display. The next president will

be driven back to the white house for luncheon and then will go to the stand erected in front of the White House, where with the vice presidnt and other notables, he will review the parade Mr. Roosevelt has announced that he will go direct from the capitol to the train and Mr Fairbank's plans to leave for his home in Indianapolis during the afternoon. The parade promises to be up to the standard fixed for inaugural parades. A large force of United States troops has been ordered here for the day. More than a score of states will be represented by their governors and militia companies. Several thousand sailors and marines from the battleship fleet

will be in line. Many political clubs from different parts of the country will march and civic organizations from many of the nearby states will be in line. The program will close with a brilliant disnlav of fireworks in . the

early evening, followed by the quadrennial inaugural ball in the Pension building

Other than the inauguration and the closing days of the sixtieth con

gress the news field for the week gives little promise of important happen

ings. Governor Haskell and six other prominent Oklahomas, indicted on a

charge of conspiring to defraud the government and the Creek Indians in

connection with the apportionment of Muskogee town lots, will be ar

raigned at Muskogee Monday.

Another TheaterThe brick front of the Dodd building, recently leased by ngwald Moe, was torn out yesterday afternoon in the south half of the store building. This will be used as a 5-cent theater,

on real estate matters.

After being entertained royally at a

banquet at the Victoria hotel, the vis

iting teams from the Bloom -Town

ship (III.) high school, submitted

gracefully to defeat by the Gary girls and boys in their final game of the season. So decisive was the defeat of the visitors that it seemed as if the palatable food-stuffs placed before them earlier in the evening produced a drousiness from which they could not recover, the result being nothing short of a slaughter. The score of the boys' game was 24 to 9 and that of the girls, 23 to 9. There was no ulterior motive in giving the banquet to the visitors, however, on the part of the Gary high school, the real reason being that the school which was to contest that evening in an attempt to wrest basket-baJ.J.

honors from Gary, were instructed and coached for four years by the man that bfes developed the present Gary team

to its high state of efficiency. Principal Seargant of the Jefferson school. Because of this fact the Gary students felt more than a passing interest in the representatives of their teacher's former school. At the dinner the cafe of the hotel was prettily dec

orated in the colors of the schools, and the students were served on two long tables. There were fifty-two plates and the feast was enjoyed by all present. Because of the fact that the time of the guests was limited in this city, owing to poor train service, toats were eliminated on this auspicious occasion and the crowd repaired to the basketball floor where the game was started. There was no particular feature of either contest except that Gary outplayed and outgeneraled their opponents at every stage of the game. After the contests the visitors were taken to their train by the Gary students.

Kaluza, Max Kallin, Frank Kozich, Phillip Casner, William Hinkle, Stephen Keresz, Metor Lyustina, John Murzyn, Mathew McBride, Jgnacy Pietrzak, Mrs. Smith, Santo Urso, Frank ZowadskI, Jacob Lablovlch and Gus Ambos.

There will also be music, and refreshments, and all citizens of Gary are invited to be present, as the meeting will be instructive as well as entertaining.
