or through every city of any size
through which the Chicago, Lake Shore
and South Bend interurban line and its
eastern connections are to pass.
The Hammond figure s loop will be one
Of the most important of these feed
ers. 1t had been hoped to secure a
franchise in Gary and build a large
feeder line there but the company was
outbid for the franchise and so was
compelled to give up the idea.
Trunk Road On Air Line.
AS is generally known. the main line
is to be an air line and will go in an
easterIy direction as straight as the
crow flies. The route is through the
northern part of Hammond and through
East Chicago, but instead of deviatlng
in its course to Indiana Harbor, a feed
| er has already been built to that city
from point in the eastern part of East
| Chicago and will be relied upon to
| gather the traffic from that point.
/ One of the important considerations
concerning the Hammond line is the
| cemeteries. 1t is said that for the FIRST
| time street railroad is to recognize
the fact that Hammond is the burying
ground for the whole Calumet region
including South Chicago and that one of
| the loops of the figure S is to be so
arranged as to take in every cemetery
of Importance in the vicinity and that
one of the specialties OF the road will
be to run funeral trains out from South
Chicago, and all points along the line
for that matter, to the Hammond GEM
eteries.
Besf in the World.
What is most important of all the
service that is to be given on the
| Hammond loop is to be as good as can
be found anywhere in the world. A
ten or fifteen minute schedule will be
arranged at the start and the cars will
run on schedule time to the half min
ute.
This will be necessary in order that
perfect connections be made with the
main line and because the company
believes it is good business policy. Mr.
Lemon explained how he arranged the
schedule on the Cleveland line when il
was first put in operation.
He first ran a car over the whole
route as fast as he could safely rur
it and then took the same car and
ran it over the route as fast as he
could and make all of the stops. He
then struck an average and the Cleve-
land rpad is using the same schedule
today.
1t is said the Hammond board OF
public works will arrange the route
of the new road with an idea of having
it traverse as many unpaved streets as
possible as long as this policy woult
not be inconsistent with a we'll select
ed route and the company has agreed
that the franchise shall require it tC

.RE|TER GETS
COMMISSION
New Superior Judge Sworn
Into Office by Judge
Gillett.
TAKES SEAT SEPT. |
Identity of Successor a Matter of
Speculation-Who Will Sue
ceed Bowers

Judge Virgil S. Reiter of the Lake
superior court was sworn into office
this morning by Judge John H. Gillett
of the supreme court of Indiana. The
ceremony took place in Judge Reiter's
law office in the Majestic block at IL
o'clock this morning, when with up
raised hand he swore to defend the
constitution of the United States and
the laws of Indiana, and to faithfully
fulfill the Office of judge of the Lake
superior court.
Judge Reiter's commission arrived
from Indianapolis this morning and
there was no time lost in securing
Judge Gillett to administer the oath
Of office Mr. Reiter will enter upon
his new duties as judge of the continue
Gus court at the beginning of the Sep
tember term of court, and the term OF
office will expire in January, 1909
There is now nothing more to be done
before Mr.. Reiter takes his seat on the
bench.
AS to his successor in the office oi
United States commissioner, no one
seems to know at the present time as
to who will get the plum.
Several Candidates Suggested.
Several candidates have been sug-
gested, but so far as can be learned
they are merely suggestions and {
strong fight has not been developed
for the office. The appointment of hi.
successor cannot be made until the
return Of Judge Anderson, who is now
sojourning in Europe. He is not ex
pected to return until the last of Au
gust
There seems to be no doubt about th'
sincerity of Attorney Bowers declara
tion that he will resign from his Office
as referee in bankruptcy and there il
now much speculation as to his sue
cessor. 1t is understood that the var
! ious matters in connection with tn
Office are now being put in shape anC
I the resignation will take place along
with the other events which will hap
pen on the return of Judge Anderson
Among the names mentioned as thos
who look with kindly eye toward tn
J future vacancy are Attorney David c
/ Atkinson and Attorney William J
WINERY So far as can be learne,
neither have openly declared their de
sire to get the office. but it is under
stood that both are quietly laying thei
wires.

Morning Leave on

Washington certainly looks good to
us" was the verdict of THE LAKE

day, after a days sightseeing in the
National capitol.
Not public building or an inter-
esting villa escaped the vigilance of the
young ladies in their search for data
to make up the vivid story that each
and every one will be telling to the
folks at home all winter.
They have exhausted the supply of
postal cards at each place they visited
and because of the short space Of time
allowed for letter writing they have
got down to the well worn express
sion, We are having the time Of our
lives" They have tried every other
explanation of the wonders of the trip
but this one seems to hit the idea in
few words.
"WnI We Ever BE There:"
Washington certainly made a hit
with the girls. They were infatuated
with the wonderful buildings and pala-
tiol suites where the sons of their
! Uncle Sam carry on his work. And
the White House, that expressive ex-
ample of the simplicity Of the United
States people, yet showing their love
for nature, caught the fancy of each
and every one of them. And the girls
/ all got to wondering whether or not
they would ever get a chance to be the
first lady of the land. but several
seemed to think there was a chance
as they thought of the Lake county
| boys they left behind.
! This morning they were off on the
Norfolk and Washington steamboat
for an all days sail on the Potomac
and Chesapeake Bay. The start was
made at a. m. and everybody was or
hand bright and early anticipating the
pleasant boat ride towards the great
Atlantic ocean. They will arrive al

NO PROFIT IN
CUBAN SUGAR

HAVANA, March 4.-Unless the
price of sugar advances the present
crop will prove a financial failure.
Although there is good weather and
the abundance of cane has cuabled
grinding to be carried on without III
terruption the cost of production is ex-
cessive. probably in many eases eA-

Up to the end of February he 'uice
proved very poor, containing only
per cent. of saccharine matter. The
cost of labor is nearly double the aver
age for recent years. Spanish silver is
nearly at par. The railroad rates are
excessive, and the planters complain
that they are working exclusively Tor
the benefit of the railroads, which ure
charging from rs to so cents for haul
ing a sack of sugar weighing 1926 pounds
to the ports.
1t is alleged that the principal rail-
road, which recently increased its stock

dividends 1t is earning. These are al
most entirely due to the hlgi. freight
rates on sugar. Under the Palma
regime the planters tried 10 have the
shareholders in Havana had more in
fiuence than the sugar planters. with
the result that nothing was done.
Shortly after 1902 railroad rates were
increased and the shares in the prin-
cipai lines rose nearly 100 per cent. in
value. Politicians and others made
fortunes for selling in the LONDON mar
ket, which controls the quotations of
many Cuban securities.
The supineness of the railroad COM
mission and its Indifferent re TO the vital
interests of the country are much criti-
cized, and 1t Is said that under ma
tive regime any improvement is hope
less. 1t is believed by many that even

says the Baltimore American. The
missiles are OF the earliest make used
by the United States government, and
we're probably placed at the historic

we're packed the grenades had only

The discovery Of the weapons recalls

Holcombe said that the grenades were
handled only by the grenadiers OF the
ship. who. walking out upon the yard

created havoc. They weigh about
four pounds and are shaped after the
