# The Cyclopædia of American Biography/Balatka, Hans

BALATKA, Hans, musician, b. in Hoffnungsthal, Moravia, Austria, 5 March, 1836; d. in Chicago, Ill., 17 April, 1899. His parents were noted musicians. He studied law at Olmütz, and after finishing the course was engaged as tutor by a wealthy family in Vienna. While there he perfected his knowledge of harmony and composition under Proch and Sechter. He began his musical career as conductor for singing societies. In 1849 he started for America, settling in Milwaukee, Wis., where he founded the famous Musical Verein of Milwaukee, in 1851. He produced several oratorios and operas, and conducted musical festivals in Cleveland, Cincinnati, Detroit, Chicago, and Pittsburgh. In 1860 he became leader of the newly founded Philharmonic Society of Chicago, in 1867 director of the Germania Männerchor, and in the same year conducted a musical festival in Indianapolis. In 1868 he directed a musical festival at Chicago, which was pronounced the greatest that had been held in this country up to that time. He organized the Liederkranz Society in 1873, and later the Mozart Club and the Chicago Musical Verein. He was also director to the Arion des Western Musical Society and in 1879 he founded the Balatka Academy of Musical Art, in which his son Christian and his daughter Annie were teachers. He conducted the great Saengerfest in Chicago, with a chorus of 2,200, a mixed chorus of 1,200, and an orchestra of 150. Balatka's compositions, though few in number, reveal fine artistic taste and technical skill. Besides his addition of a suitable climax to Chopin's “Funeral March,” in place of its abrupt ending, he composed a grand aria for soprano with accompaniment, a piano quartette, a sonata, and several songs. He was the author of “A Condensed History of Music” (1888); “A History of Orchestra Music in Chicago,” and contributed musical articles regularly to the Chicago “Daheim.”

# The Cyclopædia of American Biography/Farnsworth, William Hix

FARNSWORTH, William Hix, lawyer, b. in Rockland, Me., 15 Aug., 1861, son of Theodore H. and Martha B. (Marston) Farnsworth. His father (1816-1912) was a sailor and soldier. His earliest American ancestor, Matthias Farnsworth, emigrated to this country from Lancashire, England, in 1603, settling in Groton, Mass. Matthias Farnsworth held a prominent position in the colony from the date of his arrival, and in 1675 participated in the war between the New England settlers and the Indians, known as “King Philip's War.” The line of descent is then traced through Benjamin and Mary (Prescott) Farnsworth; Isaac and Sarah (Page) Farnsworth; Isaac and Anna (Green) Farnsworth; William A. and Elizabeth (Rutherford) Farnsworth; Ezra and Elizabeth (Lakin) Farnsworth; Amos and Lydia (Longley) Farnsworth; Jonas and Jane (Delop) Farnsworth; Benjamin and Dorcas (Whittermore) Farnsworth; Jonas and Thankful (Ward) Farnsworth; Isaac and Martha (Barth) Farnsworth; and Levi and Margaret Farnsworth, who were the grandparents of the subject of this sketch. William H. Farnsworth was educated in the public and high schools of Blair, Neb., where his family had moved when he was an infant. At the age of twenty-one, he engaged in the practice of his profession as a lawyer, in association with Col. L. W. Osborn. He met with success from the start, and in a comparatively brief period had attained a high position in the legal profession through his ability and intellectual attainments. In 1884 he accepted an invitation to become city attorney for Blair, Neb., and discontinued his general legal practice. During his term as city attorney, he successfully prosecuted the Fairbanks Scale Company, and represented the city in the federal courts in Omaha. In 1890 he was chosen assistant county attorney for Washington County, Neb. Throughout his long career, Mr. Farnsworth has specialized in corporation law. He was the leading counsel in the case of Jant vs. C. C. C. and St. L. Railway, which was carried to the United States Supreme Court. Notwithstanding his active legal career, Mr. Farnsworth is a member of many exclusive clubs, among them the Hawkeye Club, of which he is president, and the River Side Boat Club. On 15 June, 1883, he married Eugene, daughter of W. S. Coe, and they had one son, Park Goodwin Farnsworth, deceased.
# The Cyclopædia of American Biography/Haberkorn, Christian Henry

HABERKORN, Christian Henry, manufacturer, b. in Detroit, Mich, 27 July, 1856; d. in Detroit 2 June, 1915, son of Henry and Margaret (Kolby) Haberkorn. He was of German ancestry, the descendant of an old Bavarian family which moved to Hesse Darmstadt early in the fifteenth century.
His father (1831-1908), born in Altenburg, Hesse Darmstadt, the youngest son of the mayor of that city, came to America in 1851, and settled in Detroit, Mich., where he became a prominent builder. His mother was also a native of Germany. Henry Haberkorn was educated in the public schools of Detroit, and in his young manhood followed his father's trade. Early in the seventies he went to California and engaged in the construction of several of the first pretentious buildings erected in San Francisco. Then returning to Detroit, he began the manufacture of furniture, and in 1878, started his first independent business venture by establishing the firm of C. H. Haberkorn and Company. The business was incorporated in 1904 with Mr. Haberkorn as its president, a position which he retained until his death. From the time of its inception he had been the leading spirit and guiding genius of the enterprise, which under his management grew to be one of the largest concerns of its kind in the United States, Mr. Haberkorn held a prominent place among the business men of the country, and although his energy was mainly devoted to the building up of C. H. Haberkorn and Company, he was identified with a number of other interests in Detroit. He early saw the possibilities of real estate investment in and about Detroit, and owned considerable property which he improved and developed. He also invested largely in various manufacturing and banking activities throughout the country. He was vice-president of the Pressed Steel Manufacturing Company in 1908-11; president of the Universal Motor Truck Company in 1910-11; treasurer of Grosse Pointe Park Corporation in 1913-15; and president of the Haberkorn Investment Company in 1914-15. He was never interested in politics to any great degree, and never held or desired public office. He was a member of the Detroit Club, the Detroit Country Club, Detroit Golf Club, the Old Club, Wayne Club, the Detroit Board of Commerce, and the Geographical Society of America. He married, in 1884, Frances Harriet Ruehle, daughter of Frederick Ruehle, a prominent figure in the early city government of Detroit, who had been president of the board of public works and one of the four founders of the old “Michigan Democrat.” She died in 1910, and Mr. Haberkorn married, in 1913, Helen Hortense Harvey, daughter of Fred C. Harvey, an attorney of Detroit, who died the following year. He was the father of two children by his first marriage: Christian Henry Haberkorn, Jr., and Adelaide Dorothea Haberkorn. By his second marriage there was one child, Henry Harvey Haberkorn.
# The Cyclopædia of American Biography/Hamilton, James McLellan

HAMILTON, James McLellan, college president, b. in Annapolis, Ill., 1 Oct., 1861, son of James and Mary (Burner) Hamilton. His grandfather, Thomas Hamilton, came to this country from Belfast, Ireland, about 1800, settled in Beaver County, Pa., and fought in the War of 1812. He was educated in the public schools of Annapolis, and later attended Union Christian College where he received the degree of B.L. in 1887, and M.S. in 1890. He removed to Sumner, Ill., where he became superintendent of public schools. Under his superintendence a system of instruction was created which was recognized as an example for the large cities and towns in that part of the country. In 1889 he was called to Missoula, Mont., remaining in charge of the public schools of the city until 1901, when he was chosen professor of history and economics at the University of Montana. The confidence reposed in him was further demonstrated in 1904, when he was made president of the Montana State College of Agriculture and Mechanical Arts, which position he now holds. He was a member of the Montana State Board of
Education from 1893 to 1901, and is a member of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, Sigma Chi, National Educational Association, American Association of Agricultural Colleges, Mason, Elk, and Odd Fellow. On 6 June, 1888, he married Emma Shideler, of Meron, Ind., and they have two children.

# The Czechoslovak Review/Volume 2/Hunger riots of Kladno

HUNGER RIOTS OF KLADNO
From the Vienna Arbeiter-Zeitung, May 30, 1918.
A sad picture of the condition of food supply in the center of Czech territory, showing how miserably the people there live and how they suffer with hunger, is uncovered by a monster process which was opened before the Prague Criminal Court on May 28th. In several of the steel mills of Kladno and neighborhood workmen went on strike at the end of April of this year. Their pay stopped, and the people had nothing to eat. At the beginning of May, when no one, the authorities least of all, was giving their condition a thought, riots broke out that spread rapidly into the neighborhood (two lines confiscated). In connection with that more than 300 persons, mostly women and children, were arrested. But in many places unfortunately the matter got further than arrests. People will remember that newspapers wrot eof the defense of a flour mill and the killing of a laborer and the wounding of two others by the miller.
The first group of the plunderers just came before the criminal court: eight men, that is to say one grown up man and seven boys from 14 to 18 years old, and 29 women and girls from 15 to 50 years of age. All can read and write, all have attended school; all live, as they stated on what they earn, and out of the wages they support large families. The fathers are mostly in the army, dead or missing. They were suddenly deprived of their pay, the children could not understand it, clamored for food, no on would help them, and so they went into the nearby flour mills to get something. When their lawyer asked them, whether they met with resistance, they said no; whether they employed force, again no. And why did they go to the flour mills? Because flour is eight crowns per kilogram (about 75 cents a pound) and even more. “Some of the men were armed with sticks and posts,” says the indictment.
About eighty defendants have been arraigned in the Prague divisional court, being soldiers on furlough or otherwise subject to the military law.

# The Czechoslovak Review/Volume 2/From the British House of Commons

FROM THE BRITISH HOUSE OF COMMONS
On June 11th, Mr. Outhwaite member of Parliament for Hanley, asked the Secretary for Foreign Affairs, whether his attention had been called to the declaration of sympathy with the nationalistic aspirations of the Czechoslovaks and Jugoslavs, is sued by the Premiers of Great Britain, France and Italy at Versailles, on June 3d; and what steps the British Government proposed to take to secure the liberation of the Czechoslovaks and Jugoslavs who, for pursuing nationalistic ambitions, had been imprisoned without trial by the Austrian Government.
Lord R. Cecil answered: The British Government have no means of modifying the action of the Austrian Government in this matter. These persons are the enemies of our enemies, and as such are entitled to our warmest sympathies.
In reply to a further question by Mr. Outhwaite, Lord R. Cecil stated: It will be for the liberated Czechoslovak and Jugoslav peoples themselves to determine their future status. His Majesty’s Government thoroughly recognizes the many proofs given by these races of intense national feeling, and cordially acknowledge the assistance which their troops are rendering to the Allied cause.

# The Czechoslovak Review/Volume 2/From the Czechoslovak army in Russia

FROM THE CZECHOSLOVAK ARMY IN RUSSIA.
Petrograd Weekly “Čechoslovák” contains a declaration of this army, dated September 28, 1917, the anniversary day of St. Václav, patron saint of Bohemia. It is an interesting historical document, which reads as follows:
“The Czechoslovak army, composed of volunteers born in Austria-Hungary, celebrates on this St. Vaclav day the third anniversary of the armed rebellion of the Czechoslovak nation against Austria-Hungary and the Hapsburgs, and sends warm greetings to all Czechoslovaks at home.
“The Czechoslovak army hails with feelings of pride and happiness the manly fight of the deputies in the home lands for full independence of our nation. The declaration of Bohemian and Slovak political parties, their political tactics and our determination to shed our blood to the last drop for the liberation of the nation prove sufficiently that the Czechs and Slovaks will never accept a compromise with the Hapsburgs and with Austria-Hungary. It brands as a lie the statement that Austro-Hungarian peoples desire to live in that monarchy which never had any regard for their life interests. The Czechoslovak nation founded Austria-Hungary; they have a right to make an end to it. Czechoslovak volunteers who proved at Zborov on June 18th that they can conquer swear that they will not only liberate their fatherland, but that they will punish the tyrants.
“We beseech you who are over there at home to go ahead without fear and hesitation, united with us in a common will and a common aim. Be assured that resolute fighting side by side with the free nations united against the Central Empires will win for us that freedom which we heave earned by our sacrifices and our labors.”
# The Czechoslovak Review/Volume 2/Hazen's article in the Saturday Evening Post

HAZEN’S ARTICLE IN THE SATURDAY EVENING POST.
It is wonderful how effective a single article may be. The Saturday Evening Post of October 12th had for its leading story an account of the Czechoslovaks by Charles Downer Hazen. Dr. Hazen has been a teacher of history and a writer of historical works for twenty-five years and is used to scientific exactness. The thing that struck a Czech reader of Dr. Hazen’s account of the Czechoslovaks most strongly is the unusual fact that a lengthy article written by a stranger is correct in every detail, in every fact and every date. In five pages the author manages to give a very complete and faithful account of the Czechoslovak people and their struggle for independence.
An article in the Saturday Evening Post is read by several million people. That this particular story was read by many is evident from this fact alone that the various Czechoslovak organizations were swamped with requests for pamphlets, maps, posters, etc., shortly after the appearance of the article. Bohemian and Slovaks of this country owe a great debt of gratitude to Dr. Hazen for his splendid and sympathetic exposition.

# The Czechoslovak Review/Volume 2/From a Swede friend of Bohemia

FROM A SWEDE FRIEND OF BOHEMIA.
Dear Sir:—
On this day when the glad news of the Declaration of Bohemian Independence is published in every civilized land on earth, and President Wilson has firmly declared himself the defender of Czech Independence, may I not be permitted to congratulat you and through you the brave, tireless workers, who like you have overcome numberless obstacles and now are in sight of the grand reward, a free Bohemia.
During many years I have been heart and soul in sympathy with the uphill, heartbreaking struggle of the heroic sons of their heroic mother, Bohemia, those men whose wives and daughters have never for a moment forgotten their nation’s rights, and have been dragged to Austrian prisons, as a result. Imagine then with what joy I read the news that the old honored colors of Bohemia, are floating from the Hradčany! In a few days the Anniversary of the White Mountain will have arrived, and may that day see a free Cech people, decorate with, flags and flowers the sacred ground near the “Hvězda” Pavilion, where ancestors of worthy sons fought their last bitter fight.
How the world has been amazed at the feats of courage performed by the Čechs in Siberia, we all know. Likewise with what anxiety the friends of these wondrously brave Knights of St. Václav, are watching the fate of the sadly thin “forlorn hope,” which is holding the Volga front, with unsurpassed bravery and fortitude. To those warriors, who are indeed fighting for Liberty or certain death, the news from Golden Praha, will be like the rays of the sun piercing the dark storm clouds and lighting at last the way to Liberty and Home.
It may please you to read what an Italian friend from Turin wrote to me, September 13, 1918.
(free translation from the French)
“—— The Czecho-slovaks are highly esteemed and greatly liked in Italy. There are in several of our cities, regiments of these brave young people, all volunteers who are drilling in the handling of arms and in the art of making war. They have already fought on the Piave, where they have given great proofs of valor and courage. They have been praised and rewarded. It is an unhappy nation and the Čechs are fighting for liberty and independence of their country, and for that reason we love them and it is for that they are helping us in this great war for justice and liberty. It seems that in Russia the Čechs are performing actual miracles. (Font les vrais miracles.)——”
Accept then, Mr. Editor, the heartfelt good wishes of an unknown Swedish subscriber to the Review, who deems it an honor to possess many dear friends among the Čech people. Na Zdar, A. AXELSON.

# The Czechoslovak Review/Volume 2/Bohemian National Alliance

BOHEMIAN NATIONAL ALLIANCE
The American recognition of the Czechoslovak National Council is a great victory for the Bohemian National Alliance. Fou ryears ago this little body was organized by a small group of men in Chicago, who formed a little society to which they gave the name of the Bohemian National Alliance of America, with the idea of striking a blow for the freedom of Bohemia. For a long time their efforts met with little encouragement, even though the organization spread rapidly into every settlement of the Czech people in this country. But when Masaryk wrote from Switzerland early in 1915, the men of the Alliance saw their task clearly and went about it with a determined mind. Their task was on the one hand to back financially the movement organized by Masaryk which was crystallized into the Czechoslovak National Council, and on the other hand to gain the public opinion of the United States and the Government of this country for Czechoslovak independence.
The work has been long and tiresome and the workers often feel, as no doubt the French poilu feels after four years in the trenches. But of the two victories which the men of the Bohemian National Alliance looked forward to, one has already been attained, the government of the United States has entered into relations with a Czechoslovak Government, after the other Allied Powers had already given it recognition. All that remains now is to lick the Germans to a standstill, and that long-for goal seems to be in sight.
