chief influence that selected Attorney
General p. G. Knox to succeed the late
Senator Nj. 5 Quay as United States
Senator from Pennsylvania was the in
t1uence of the trusts. In fact, the
trusts demanded of the Republican boss
of the state, Senator Penross, that
Knox be chosen. for the reason, pre-
sumably, that they wanted to strength
en- themselves against possible unfriend.

When Hanna made his spectacular

prodigality, he was hailed by the repub-
lican leaders as the redeemer OF the
state But this lavish use Of money
in Nebraska, inspired In many OF those

that political corruption is found 10 ex-

Hanna steered his political bark. and
that the state of Nebraska Is badly in
need OF another redeoming. The Unit

or W has been engaged in the Job OF
initiating republican officials charged
with buying and selling Offices and
stealing from Uncle Sam. The list OF
those indicted is a long one. ranging in
Importance from United States Sem
ator Dietrich down TO more insignificant
personages and others implicated In

in Nebraska, and it appears from the
evidence produced before the grand

Masonic Bodies in the City Planning
to Celebrate Their Semi-Centen-
NAL This Year.
MANY OLD TIMERS TO ATTEND
Lodge Had Planned to Celebrate the Event
With the Opening of Its New Home
but Banquet Will be Held.

1t has been fifty years since the first
Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons
was established in Kenosha, and Ke-
nosha Lodge No. AZ, is planning for a
celebration of the semi-centennia1
anniversary during the early part of
the month of June. The Kenos11a
lodge is one of the oldest lodges inithis
section Of the state, and during the
fifty years that it has been in exis-
tence many of the best known men of
the city have been enrolled as men,
bers of the Order.
It had been the original intention
OF the members of the Masonic orders
to celebrate this anniversary 18th the
opening of the new Masonic Club
house, but the Lodge is not yet in
possession of the property and for this
reason the celebration cannot be held
in the new home. The arrangements
for the celebration have not as yet
been completed, but a banquet will
be held at which Masons from all
parts of Southern Wisconsin and
Northern Illinois will be in attend
ance. A number of well known ma
tiona1 and state officials of the Order
will probably be present and speak at
the post prandia1 exercises.
The chapter of the Royal Arch
Masons is eight years older than the
other organization.
The Masonic orders in Kenosha
antedated all others with the excep-
ton of the Odd Fellows. The first
lodge of the Odd Fellows was organ
lied in Southport in 1886, short time
after the village began to take on the
airs of city. The Masons came
into the city short time afterward
and for a time meetings of the mem
befs of the Order were held in houses
about the city before the chapter of
the Order was formed.
The installation of the chapter in
1854, was one Of the historic events of
Kenosha and many visitors were pre-
sent from all parts of the state and
from surrounding states. Orlando
Foster was the first Worshipfu1 Mas
ter of No. AZ, while the senior and
junior wardens were Theodore Newell
and Elisha M. Kinney. Among the
charter members of the Order were
many of the leading men of Kenosha,
and men who contributed a great deal
to the upbui1ding of the city. Many
of the o1d-time members of the Order
still survive and the coming banquet
will be feast of interesting remines-
cences.
The present membership of the
Order in Kenosha is about one hum
dred and twenty-five, and the mem
bership is being increased at a very
rapid rate.
1t is probable that the celebration
of the semi-centennia1 will be more
fully carried out next year when The
Masonic orders are in their new home.

Inspector WheIan of the War Depart
ment Here to Make an Examina.
ton OF the HarbOr.
VISIT PREsAGEs IMPROVEMENTS.
Condition of the Harbor VIII be Reported
at Once to the Departmental Engineer
improvements Will Follow

James Whe1an, of Milwaukee, one
OF the engineers in the employ of the
United States government, came to
Kenosha last night and this afternoon
began to make an examination of the
Kenosha harbor. The examination
is the fore runner of added improve
ments to be made in the. harbor by
the government.
The work of Mr.. Whe1an will de-
mand many days of his time and every
possible portion of the harbor will be
examined. The work will include
the taking of soundings and the draw
ing OF plans to show the depth of
water in every portion of the harbor
and, as well, the changes that have
occurred since the last general exam
nation of the harbor was made.
The men interested in the harbor
have claimed that the channel is be-
ing filled up with sand brought in by
the northeast storms and the report of
Engineer Whe1an will show the exact
amount of this filling.
Inc government has been slow to
take up the work of changing the
position of piers and breakwaters III
the Kenosha harbor, the engineers
protesting that the condition of the
harbor was satisfactory at the present
time, and that the war department
would not be warranted in making
this heavy expense in harbor which
was so little used by the general ship
ping interests of the country.
The work of Mr.. Whe1an will show
that the condition of the harbor is
such that the work that has been
done by the government has not car
ried out the original plans for the
building of the harbor, and to this
end it is probable that the report will
result in the engineers for the district
asking for the appropriation needed.
The plans for improvements at Ke-
nosha include a change in the outer
breakwater costing in the neighbor-
hood of 81, 500. The bids for the work
have been Advertised for and but one
bid was received. This bid the gov
eminent held was a very high one,
but if the work is ordered the con-
tract will be let on the bid now re-
ceiVed.
