The Becker Iceless soda Fountain
at the drug store was formally
opened yesterday afternoon. It had
been "opened" a number Of times
before, but just as they would get
the sign ''Ice Cream up the
weatherman would come around
with q bunch Of atmosphere 50 icy
that the sign turned to the wall,
not daring to face competition with
the real thing. But yesterday
morning the weatherman sent q
special message to AL Carlson, an
knouncing that he would permit the
opening to open. and so it came to
pass. At 1889 o'clock the aforesaid
Albin Chamberlain Carlson opened
the throttle and the fountain start
ed, and from now on it will keep
running on schedule time until the
weatherman comes around and
throws the reverse.
Prominent among those who at
tended the Grand Opening were
Signor Filipi Caruso, Marquis D.
Wit Spaghetti, Count Henri Sew
emupskyi and Ludwig Schlittzen-
berger, and the function thus as
sumed an international aspect.
They all wore ties and socks of
brass band colors, and created a
good deal of excitement among the
bystanders by sucking their Grape
Soda highball thru straws like COM
mon people. It may be interesting
to know that the titled gentlemen,
like most of their brood at home,
are single, and that they are not
travelling in this country for their
health.

Automobiles on Country Roads.

Mr.. O. R. Sletten of the town.
ship of Dovre called at the Tribune
Office last Monday and stated that
he did not think much of the
crusade started here in the city for
the improvement of the roads. He
said with the improvement of the
roads would come a greater use of
the automobile and he thought that
the country people would as rule
rather have poor roads than to run
the risk of meeting a number of
these machines that would fright
en- their horses and endanger their
lives. He stated that while his
horses were not afraid of automo-
biles, there were great number of
farmers who did not dare to meet
them and they were particularly
afraid of permitting their wives or
children to drive the teams on the
road. Mr.. Sletten seemed to think
that the whole purpose Of the good
roads movement was to make better
roads for the automobiles and asked
us to publish this statement as COM
ing from those who believed as he
did.
The sentiment expressed by Mr..
Sletten is one common in the coun-
try. We know how to sympathize
with anyone having a skittish team
and meeting a machine to which
they are not accustomed, particu-
larly if the driver of such machine
is inconsiderate and feels that he
owns the road because he can 60 the
faster. But the number of autos is
increasing at a rapid rate and in a
short time will be in general use.
We believe that in a short time
they will be found on many farms
in place of the driving team. 1t is
out Of the question to prohibit

dience Mrs. Francis Evans played the
concluding number, a piano selection
entitled The Cascade" an extremely
brilliant work fun of difficult pass
ages to which Mrs. Evans. however.
was fully equal.
Mr.. II. H. Clark, the principal of the
high school, was master of ceremonies
and before the company adjourned to
the room where the refreshments were
served he offered a few remarks in
which he made the assertion that while
rejoicing over their victory, the spirit
in which the victors assembled was not
one which gloated over the defeat of
other schools. I'VE are simply glad we
have won" concluded Mr.. Clark.
Then came the refreshments, the
members of the school chorus being
served first, in accordance with a sug-
gestion offered by Mr.. Clark While
this was in progress. the pent up en-
thusiasm of the students was given
vent. the chorus singing college songs
which they had adapted to fit the oc-
casion and all entering into the spirit
of the occasion with vim.

PHONE SYSTEM
IS CHANGED

For a little over two hours last
night, beginning at 10 o'clock, the tele-
phones in Gary were put out Of serv-
ice, and not a wrathful, aggravated pa
iron could get central This. how
ever was not the fault of the service
but owing to a great improvement
which is being installed in the local
exchange, in changing the cables from
aerial to the underground system Five
expert cable spIicers worked last night
until after midnight connecting up the
$50 telephone lines which have already
been installed in Gary.
Owing to the fact that the workmen
were not quite prepared to cut in the
cables Wednesday night, the work was
postponed until last night. During the
afternoon, when the storm ragged in
Gary, the workmen were preparing
then to cut in the cable and were COM
PEELED to cease operations and guard
the wires at the top of the poles.
All of the Gary lines were cut in
last night and the Tolleston cable will
probably be cut in tonight, which will
few hours. The most important wires
in the city, such as the hotes and po-
lice station, were connected up first and
were out but a short time. The estab-
lishment of the underground system
will increase the capacity of the local
exchange.

CONCERT WAS
A GREAT SUCCESS
Especial to THE T1MEs.)

Lowell, Ind, May T. Barnie
Young's concert at Lowell was a great
success last evening, and Artie Find
ling the newsboy soloist, made great
hit with his vocal solo. He was en-
cored again and again, and each time
was received by the audience with
great enthusiasm. The musicians play
at Crown Point this evening.
The band concert was Of very high
order, and Barnie Young proved his
organization to be one of the best ag-
gregations of musicians in this part
of the country.
The entertainment was a varied one,
and the large audience, which assem-
bled to hear the work of the we'll
known Hammond bandmaster, was well
satisfied with the entertainment
Incidentally Hammond is receiving
a very desirable kind of advertising
and it is expected that in future sea-
sons Mr.. Young will extend his tours
to take in a larger number of the sur
rounding cities.

may lead to his Identification. 1t is
expected he win return some time to-
day.

said that the deceased formerly lived
in that city and still has relatives liv-
ing there.

Especial to TIE TIMEsl

East Chicago. Ind, May THE
East Chicago high school was ablaze
last night with all the electric lights
the building affords, and with enthus-
ism enough to discount any illumina
ton hundred fold more brilliant
The occasion was a reception and
entertainment to celebrate the victories
won in the recent contests at Ham
mond. The guests OF honor were Miss
Flossie Pickard, who took first hon
ors in the oratorical feature of the
same, and the members of the chorus,
which was adjudged second in point of
musical achievement. Miss Mary A
Stone the. musical director of the
chorus, shared the honors with her
class. A social hour preceded the pro-
gram. and at the conclusion of the lat
ter refreshments, consisting of punch,
ice cream and cake. were served.
The event took place in the assembly
hall of the high school building. and
was participated in by fully 200 stu
dents and their elders. The program
was in charge Of Miss Mabel Van
Kleek, assisted by a committee of stu
dents. All of the committees were
headed by a member of the faculty, the
associates of the latter in the work
being selected from the student body.
The committees were as follows:
Finance-Mr. H H. Clark, assisted
by Llywolas Johns, NJ Riley, Lyman
Adsit Amos Haywood and Ernest
Spence

marks by superintendent E. n. Canine,
who gave a resume of the defeats and
victories of the East Chicago high
school He declared that the joy in
the victory was not confined to the
victors but was shared in by the
schools of the entire county, who feel
a friendly interest in the local insti-
tuition. Following Mr.. CANNES talk
was a number by the chorus, entitled
Mountain Lake which was the first
selection rendered by the local chorus
on the eventful night in Hammond.
This was executed in faultless style.
The school went wild at this and de-
manded an encore which was given.
Mable and Ben Silverman played a pi-
ano duet which won them an ovation
and Mable Riley followed with & vio-
lin number, also we'll received. Mr.
Evan I4loyd's splendid rendition of the
beautiful solo, Il Am Not Better Thar
My Fathers from Mendelssohn's di-
vine oratorfo Elijah" called forth en-
thusiastic demonstrations of approval.

WOODEN LEG
ARGUMENT
|NCOURT

The legal standing OF wooden leg
possessed by Tony Wisniewoski, an
employe of the Chicago, Lake Shore
and Eastern at Gary, was brought into
question yesterday in a suit before
Judge Charles NJ. Goodnow of the
South Chicago court. The suit in cues
ton was one in which Attorney Frank
Foster attempted to garnishee the
wages of the Gary man for legal serv-
ices which he had rendered.
At a hearing April 20 Tony claimed
his exemption rights under the Indi-
ana statute of residents Of that state
sued outside the state This provided
him with an exemption of $500. and he
filed a schedule of his belongings
showings that he was not possessed of
more than $500 in personal property
and could not be made to pay the bill.
Foster asked for continuance to
investigate, and when Tony appeared
question him.
You say you have only $500 worth
of property asked the lawyer credit
or
Yes" replied Tony.
IN your SC4eQule VI your belongings
did you mention a sewing machine?"
L may not have"
Did you mention your wooden leg?"
mo"
How much did that leg cost?"
i think s125." replied Tony.
Attorney Foster then addressed the
court. He said it was shown clearly
that Tony possessed property valued at
s125 in addition to the schedule of
exemption he h@1 made out. and the
lawyer asked the court if the leg
should not be held to satisfy the gar
nishee against Tony.
Counsel for Tony sprang to his feet.
That would be absolutely illegal, !"
he cried I would like to argue the
point"
Il will hear you" said the court,
while Tony began rubbing his wooden
! leg affectionately.
Why, your honor" said Fony's law
yer, 1T IS most improper to consider a
mans wooden leg as personal property.
It is attached to him. It is a part of
him, needed in his daily work as much
as real leg. In fact, in law 1t must
be held as a component part of the de-
| PENDANTS body"
