SARGENT INDoRsED
BY Firemen in the Great Northern
Strike Matter

Strike Matter.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, May 12.-At
the joint meeting today of ths grand
executive board and board of grand
trustees of The Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Firemeu, an address to the public
was prepared. 1t says the boards were
called together by Grand Master
Sargent for the express pur-
pose of inquiring into his official
acts and to investigate his management
of the Ann Arbor and Lehigh Valley
strikes; the Louisville & Nashville, Chi
cago s. Eastern. Illinois and Great
Northern troubles: also to inquire
into the manner in which the
protective fund has been ham
died. They have exhaustively reviewed
each separa 9 case and in no single in
stance can they find where Grand Mas
ter Sargent has done wrong. His
judgment has been sound, his acts wise
and his utterances reasonable and con-
servative. The boards heartily indorse
his official acts and utteraae>:S.
The custodian of the protective fund
has accounted for and paid over to the
grand secretary aud treesurer every
doll:r of principal and interest. Not
dollar was misapplied, and the records
show the minutest details. The custo-
dian of the protective fund, William F.
f. Hynes, is said by the board to
be deserving of special credit fof
the way which he fulfilled the
trust reposed in him. The brother
hood is stated to be in prosperous
condition. considering the general de-
preston and consequent shrinkage in
railroad traffic. Despite the fact that
hundreds Of tiremen are out of employ
ment, and the earnings of the majority
of those employed have been less, be-
cause of less traffic. the order has faith
fully discharged its every obligation.
At the present time there are 500 lodges,
with a total membership of %. 166. In con-
cluding, the statement says: For the past
eighteen months, avigorOus propaganda
of villifcation!and ISLANDERS has been
mal:slai2ed and directed with malignant
purW.ss against our lodge aud its grand
officers. The batteries Of the falsifier
have been trained on us with the
set intent, doubtless, of disrupt
ing our organization. We de-
nounce as unmitigated falsehoods
the fugitive items of news floating
through the press of the country about
the shaky condition of our order and
the corruption of our grand officers.
Wecaution our members against the
insidi0us approaches of those who are
engaged in reprehensible effort to
bellttle and disrupt the brotherheyd, and
urge upon them the expediency of re-
naming tue to the order and its Off
GERS, who have been so true to them"

T A fairer and perhaps abler lawyer
never wore ermine in court of nisi
prius. He was rarely reversed by the
supreme court, In fact it is doubtful if
any man has sat upon general terms
bench with clearer score in this re-
spect. He was SO conscientious that no
one ever went before him with case
expecting to be favored on account of
personal friendship. and no one ever
feared to take case before him because
the other side was the friend of the
judge. The fact and law were always
weighed withoutregard to personal con-
sideratlons.
The subject of this sketch is of Welsh
origin. Somewhere in the seventeenth
century his ancestors OH his fathers

after while emigrated to America,
locating on tract OF land now included
in the counties of Orange and Ulster,

Goshen Jan. 4. 1924. His father was

Wing. Judge Wilkins mother was
Sarah Gale Westcott, daughter of David
Manderville Westcott, prominent in
many ways, and particularly as a JET
fersonian Democrat. She was woman
of strong intellect, fine culture and
gentle nature. She was devout Pres
byterian, and delighted in the work of
charity. Judge Wilkins splendid
mental qualities came by Inheritance.
His distinguished parents left moth

Judge Wilkin was Whig up to the
organization of the Republican party.
Then he united with the Democratic
party, and has affiliated with 1t ever
since. He has never been a strong
partisan, and has rarely taken marked
interest in political matters. He never
united with any church. He is bach
elor, yet one of the most genial and
companionable men it is the pleasure
of any one to know.
In 1884 Judge Wilkin took a trip
around the world in company with
Judge 'Flandrau. The two devoted
considerable time to doing Europe,
Egypt, India, ChIua and Japan. Since
his retirement from the bench, which
was on his own motion, the judge has
taken life leisurely and comfortably
Before he met with the accident of six
weeks ago, during daytimes he whiled
away much OF his time among his many
friends in the city, and was always a

The Endorsement OF the Big Si1
Ticket Voted Down by the
Committee.

The called meeting OF the Bexar coun-
~ Republican executive committee yes
terday afternoon al O'Clock at Chairman
Clifford's Office resulted In Waterloo for
the friends of the Big Six ticket, who

w. Ogden was elected unanimously to
this vacancy.
The real business OF the meeting was
then sprung by Chairman Clifford, in re-
ceiving motion that the committee en-
dorSe the entire Big Six ticket candidates.
Then the war began. The friends of they
Big Six thought they had a majority OF
counted on as being unable to
get away from the city council meet
ing. Then they thought Regis
trar Santleben would be too busy and
would give Mrs. Froboese his proxy, but
he was present also and voted for him
self
Then the unexpected again happened
when Hon. Ogden arose TO answer Chair
man Clifford's advocacy OF the endorse
ment of the Big Six. Ogden scored the
chairman in unmeasured terms.

For endorsing the Big Six-Dr. Clifford
Froboese, Huth, Dilworth, Stsrnes and
Patterson.
Against endorsing the Big Six--Ogden
Terrell, Sauer, SuIzbacher, Santleben
Bell, Hoefling and Degener.
The motion was defeated.
A resolution was presented that the
committee then adjourn, subject to q
call by the chairman, only on the request
Of majority Of the committee.
Chairman Clifford opposed this anC
stated If it was adopted he would call 9
