PREDICTS RETAILERS WILL
CLEAN UP WINTER STOCK.
Marshall Field & Co.'s Weekly Review
of Dry Goods Trade Optimistic
in Tone.

Marshall Field & Co. in their week
ly review of the dry goods trade say:
Merchants now in the market con
firm the early reports relative to the
magnitude of December business. In
addition, the cold weather of the past
week brought many orders for heavy
winter goods. In fact, it seems hardly
probable, when fall buying is taken into
consideration, that retailers will be
forced to carry over any winter stock
whatever. Considering that advance
oders for spring were conservative,
there is no doubt that those producers
who have stocks on hand or the sources
of supply that are in shape for imme-
diate and effective service will realize
splendid returns during the next few
months.
Shipments of spring merchandise
were started Jan. /. and We're exceed
ingly heavy. Leading lines were wash
goods, table oil cloths, ruehings. gloves
and ribbon, while advance orders in
dieate that the coming season promises
to be the best ever experienced in car
pets and rugs. Immediately after the
holidays travelling statesmen went to all
sections of the country Their orders
for all kinds of spring goods sre lib
eral. and favorable reports from all sec
tions respecting the condition of retail
stocks are coming in freely

Hammond men who had Invitations

eept Marion county. the man who would
head such a delegation would be a DO
litical power.
Until F. Richard Schaaf was brought
out by the last election Lake county
republicans had no leader who really
represented the whole county and had
the confidence of all of its leaders.

Were a man like James E. Watson
to affiliate himself with the organiza-
tion here it would greatly extend its
influence and would help to develop,
what Lake county needs, a perfect re-
publican organiza ton.
1t is very likely that James E. Wat
son has reasoned the whole matter out
along these lines and that this has
brought him to the decision to come
to Lake county. The people of Lake
county will anxiously await the de-
cision of the silver tongued orator from
Rushville, and should Hammond claim
him the whole state of Indiana will
have another opportunity to look this
way and cape. Welcome to our city,

SAWYER IS APPOINTED
Young Hammond Attorney
Is Handed Plum by
Prosecutor.

Attorney John F. Sawyer of Ham
mond has been appointed deputy pros
ecuting attorney in Hammond to look
after the business of the local office
in the absence of Prosecuting Attorney
Charles E. Greenwalo.
The appointment of Mr.. Sawyer has
come as a surprise, as it was under-
stood that Mr.. Greenwald himself would
look after the business of the office
in Hammond and Whiting.
Mr.. Greenwald's action, however, will
meet with the approval of the young
men of the city with whom Mr.. Sawyer
is very popular and who will accept
his appointment as another indication
that the young republicans of the
city are being recognized.
Mr.. Sawyer will take up this work
merely as a side issue incident to his
general practice in this city. This
will necessitate his appearance for the
state in the courts of the city every
day.

HON. JAS. E. WATSON MAY
PRACTICE LAW IN HAMMOND
Indianapolis Report Has It That "Sunny JIM Will
Come to This City to Cast His Lot With
Lake County

1t Is reported at indianapolis and
the report is fgven credence In some
circles there that Hon. James f. Wat
son of RushvilIe will come to Hammond
to practice law.
This report will be of great interest
to the Hammond friends of Mr.. Wat
son, whose loyalty for the defeated can
didate is stiIIing strong, and who still
believe that "Jim" Watson should have
been elected governor of Indiana.
1t is known that on many occasions
Mr.. Watson's political friends in this
city asked him to come here to live
and practice law. H NJ. BickneH re-
Gently wrote Mr.. Watson a letter, in
which. in his own forcible manner. he
asked Mr. Watson to come to Hammond
and be claimed by his loyal friends
here.
Combination Against Him.
It has been known for some time
that in Rushville there has been a COM
bination against Congressman Watson
on the part of certain political leaders,
although the vote at the recent election
showed that the people of Rushville are
with him.
1t is also thought to be a good po-
litical move on Mr.. Watson's part to
come to Hammond to live. He realizes,
as many of the big Indiana politicians
realize, that Lake county is destined to
be power in state politics.

MAN BURNED
Occupants of Pastime The
ater Get Out in Safety
Last Night.


East Chicago, Ind, Jan. 9.-By the
allowing of the concentrated stereOp-
ticon rays to rest for but moment on
a celIuIOid moving picture frame last
evening, a fire was started that put
the Pastime theater out of business and
resulted in property damage aggre-
eating at least $1,000. The blaze oc-
Cured at about S:15 O'Clock and at a
time when the theater was filled with
about 100 men, women and children.
Fortunate there was no panic, the en-
tire audience succeededing in quieting
their fears remarkably well.
People Filed Ont Nicely.
The first intimation of the fire was
given when Manager Lee Misch heard
a sizzling noise in the rear of the hall
The film had caught fire, and alive to
the necessity of prompt action, Mr..
Misch requested the people to file out
Immediately A few cries of fear were
heard as the crowd was turned into
the street but as far as can be learned
no one was injured
The burning film rolled to the floor
of the machine cage, which it appears
was not properly lined with asbestos
OF. sheet metal A small wood fire re-
suited and Operator Daily James, who
has been in the employ of Mr.. Misch
for months, lost his nerve and de-
serted the cage. Although a bucket of
water was handy with which the fire
might have been extinguished at that
time. before more alert members OF
the house could reach the cage. the
second 2,200-foot film had caught fire
and was burning with the usual heat
Seeing that the theater was cleared
and that there was no possible means
of extinguishing the flames without
their aid, the local fire department was
called and responded splendidly Tive
streams of water were carried into the
building and in about half an hour the
last spark was declared smothered.
Traffic Is Delayed.
The South Shore traffic on Chicago
avenue was delayed for almost an hour
by the fire hose which were necessarily
stretched across their right of way
The damage to the building consisted
mainly of the destruction of the entire
wooden front of the structure, the ma.
chine cage and its contents and a few
