A date for hearing will be set and the United States marshal has been ordered to subpoena all the parties interested to appear for teS- timony to show cause why new hearing on the foreclosure should not be granted.

| Dividends from the mines again broke all past records during Jan uary. The total for the first month of 1929 was $25, ,653, 1O9 This is the greatest distribution by American mining companies for any January
 in history And this great total would be even greater if figures were available regarding payments
 made by smaller companies and leasing syndicates as well as in- adding to the profits piled up by industry
 Resumption of dividends by h. spiration Consolidated aided mat ially in swelling the total, as did in creased rates of payments by Cleve-

 Kennecott, Magma, North Lily,
 Phelps Dodge, and New York and 1 Honduras Rosario.
 Companies which made smaller l payments than in January 1928,
 or which have dropped from the group during the past year include
 Cressen Cons, Gold M. & M. Con-

 Lucky Combination Patino
 Mines of Mexico, and Santa Ger turdis.
 Continued improvement in divi- dend payments by mining companies remains feature of the dividend situation, though the ten acity which lead-zinc and complex ore producers, as group, are cling ing to dividend rates established during periods of higher metal prices indicates that numerous operating economies must have been affected turnout the indus try during this period of 'readjust- lnent.

PURDUE, MICHIGAN
BASKETERS SHINE
Dominate Big Ten Race for
Championship-TWo Other
Teams Have Chance.
BY PAUL r. NICHOLSON.

HICAGO, January 15.-The Big
Ten basket ball championship
today appeared to rest between
" Purdue and Michigan with
only two other teams, Wiscon-
sin and Iowa, conceded an outside
chance.
When the smoke cleared from last
nights five battles. all the others, in
Guiding Indiana, seemed lost by the
wayside.
Led by Stretch Murphy, who broke
all Conference scoring records by loop
ing eight field goals and 10 free throws,
Purdue ran it's string of victories to
four by swapping Chicago, 81 to 16.
while Michigan kept pace at the top
by edging out Illinois, 81 to II, in a
great defensive battle. The Boiler
makers and Wolverines appear to be
improving with every game.
Wisconsin remained in the race as
a threat by upsetting Indiana, "A to 20.
The victory held the Badgers in third
place with three victories and one de-
feat and all but pushed Indiana, CO.
champion with Purdue last year, out OF
the race. Iowa ran its mark to two
victories and one defeat by overwhelm-
ing Minnesota, SO to %, while North
western finally got started and dimmed
Ohio States chances by humping the
Buckeyes, 81 to "a. Northwestern pre-
viously had lost three straight games.
It was Ohio States second defeat in
four Conference battles.
Murphy big Bertha"
Murphy, who stands feet inches,
was a veritable Big Bertha" against
Chicago last night His mates fed him
the ball repeatedly and he responded
with some dazzling shots which the
smaller Chicago players could not stop.
Not only did he better his previous scor-
ing record of 25, also scored against
Chicago, but he increased his wide
margin in the individual scoring race
with total of 81 points.
Illinois never headed Michigan, but
threatened throughout. Only the clever
defensive play Of Michigan's midget star
Danny Rose, saved the day for the
Wolverines. Rose stopped the scoring
spree of Capt. Ernie Dorm of the Illini
after he had bagged 9 points and
had brought the score Ia to Is.
The Wisconsin Indiana contest was
close throughout, with the score knotted
three times and the lead alternating
Tenhopen and KoWalczwk Gagged two
field goals after the score was knotted
at 20 all to win for the Badgers.
Irving Nelson, sophomore forward, led
Iowa's victorious attack. The Hawks
excelled the Gophers in all departments
The Northwestern-O Ohio State battle
was thriller from start to finish. The
Wildcats got 13-to-8 lead at the halt
and 1t was just the punch necessary to
win.
More Games This Week.
Only four more games remain on this
weeks card and all come Saturday
night They are: Iowa at Northwest
ern, Chicago at Illinois, Minnesota at
Wisconsin and Purdue at Indiana.
