SAENGERFEST CONFIRMS
SCHWEICKARDT RESIGNATION
German Singing Society Expresses Re.
gret Over Losing Former ORcial
Because of B0OdlinE.

Officials Of the German singing society
state that the resignation Of Former State
Senator Charles Schweickardt as first vice
president of the National Saengerfest has
been wrongfully put before the public
through the precipitate action Of Doctor Sic
ber. member OF the Liederkranz, who
was not member Of the saengerfests au-
thoritative body.
The Saengerfest authorities state that
they fully understood that Mr..
Schweickard's usefulness to the big festival
of song to be held in Liberal Arts building
on the Worlds Fair grounds next month
was impaired the moment he took action
in his own case on boodiing charge before
the Circuit Attorney.
The Executive Committee Of the Saenger-
fest took action in the Schweickardt case
in q called meeting at headquarters In the
Wainwright building on the Sunday previ-
GUS to Doctor Sieber'S action. It was re-
solved to put the facts before Mr.. schweick-
ardt in the light Of their effect on his
further connection with the Saengerfest in
an official capacity.
Mr.. Schweickardt wRs out Of town at the
time and did not return until last Thursday
morning when he was officially informed Of
the action Of the Executive Committee, and
he at once, without further question Of de-
lay, rendered his resignation as vice presi-
dent of the saengerfest.
In the meantime, the affair in the Lieder-
Nanz Society. a body affiliated with the
saengerfest, only as most other German
singing societies throughout the country
are. took place In the hall at Thirteenth

Syndicate Led by Joseph Letter
Has Applied for Operative
Concession.
ROCKEFELLER AFTER FREAK.
Roof Garden Would Be Reached
by Riding on the Wheel, Ac-
cording to Plans Laid
in Chicago.

A syndicate led by Joseph Letter applied
to the Concessions Department of the
Worlds Fair for permission to operate an
aerial restaurant, to be reached on the
famous Ferris wheel. which would be re-
moved to st. Louis by the promoters.
Inquiry last night Of the Exposition
management reveals the fact that while the
application was made. nothing definite has
been heard from the promoting syndicate
for some time. A dispatch from Chicago
last night revives the story.
1t Is stated that millionaires. including
John D. Rockefeller and Joseph Letter, are
engaged in a spirited rivalry to obtain pos
session Of the Ferris wheel, which on
June must be sold to the highest bidder.
The dispatch continues that the first Of
fer to be received by the managers OF the
wheel. came from the Standard Oil Com
pany through Mr.. Rockefeller What that
corporation intends to do with the wheel
is not known in Chicago
It is known there. however, that the
Letter syndicate proposes to make the wheel
greater attraction at the st. Louis Ex-
position than 1t was on the Midway at
Chicago. Luther v. Rice, the receiver, who
aided Ferris in the construction of the
wheel. is said to have been asked to draw
plans for the construction Of platform at
the top Of the structure. to be supported
by four iron piers. and the wheel to be
used as an elevator to carry passengers to
the top.
Adjoining 1t was proposed to build roof
garden and theater. and also to construct
tower to be twice the height Of the
wheel.
After the plans We're drawn concession
was asked Of the st. Louis management
Junk dealers, iron and steel companies. are
also understood to be bidding for the wheel.

MRS. L. LEMoINE GROVER.
Who was Miss Estelle Heuser of st. Louis.

last Thursday under romantic circum-
stances.
The ceremony took place in the summer
home of Hiram ]. Grover at Ironton, Mo-,
and the bridegroom. then critically Ill.
passed away early yesterday morning.
A pathetic story of human devotion was
the romantic courtshp Of Lemoine Grover
and Estelle Heuser.
An Ill fate seemed ever to pursue them and
| they were welded only when the unfortu-
| nate man was nearing the end of his short
life.
Lemoine Grover was "a years old and his
wife ono year younger. Both were born in
St Louis. They were playmates In child
hood. friends in youth and lovers as they
grew to manhood and womanhood.
For the last six years they had told their
friends that they intended to marry. Grover
declared his devotion long before he was
N years old. Miss Heuser returned the
love and the two were inseparable COM
paniona
For several years the wedding was post
pored because Mr.. Growers parents thought
1t advisable. He was young. and so was
Miss Heuser.
The young couple were satisfied to wait
and the decision Of their elders was ac-
cepted.
Two years ago a wedding date was set.
but Miss Heuser became seriously Ill. and
It was necessary for her parents to send
the young woman to more healthful eli
mate. This caused a postponement Of the
marriage.

Brank Memorial Congregation
Gives Up Property at Ray
mond and Academy.
NEARBY CORNER is SECURED.
Stipulation Restricting Land for
Residence Purposes Raised by
Owner Whom Church
Music Annoys.

Objections of one property owner on the
ground that the singing would disturb his
family has caused the Brank Memorial
congregation to give up the corner lot it
had purchased for q new church at Ray
mond and Academy avenues. and to seek
location elsewhere.
Another site will be secured by the pay
ment Of something like $500 more than was
asked for the other property, and the
church will be built not many blocks away.
probably on Vernon or Maple avenues
Negotiations for the new site were begun
through Nicholls-Ritter Realty and Ffnan-
cial Company as soon as the old site was
abandoned.
In all the deeds to property in Raymond
place there is a stipulation that the lots
shall be used only for residence purposes.
This clause was intended to exclunde busi-
ness houses from the district. and 1t was
not thought when the property was pur-
chased for the church there would be
objection raised to the erection Of q house
of worship.
One protest was so strong. however. that
the purchasing committee of the church de-
cided that, rather than arouse the I'll feel
ing Of any individual or possibly incur a
lawsuit. it would be better to give up the
property selected and find another site
This was done. and there is reason to be-
iieve that there will be no further interfer-
ence with the plans for building the new
church.
A meeting Of the committee will be held
tomorrow. when report will be prepared
FOR the official board of the church, show
ing the progress Of negotiations and the ne
cessity for change Of sites. At meeting
of the board later the new location will be
announced and plans for the new building
made public.
