RETURNS AFTER TRIP ABROAD
Together With His Wife Judge Quar1es
Has Spent the Last Two Months
Recuperating-Firs Kenoshan
to be United States Judge.

Judge Joseph V. Quarles arrived in
Milwaukee Wednesday night, accom-
panied by Mrs. Quarles, having re-
turned from a delightful Mediter-
ranean trip. Judge and Mrs. Quarles
reached Milwaukee at us o'clock
Wednesday night, coming from Chi
cago over the Milwaukee road, and
drove directly from the Union depot
to the family residence, 286 Juneau
avenue, where they we're met by Mr..
and Mrs. Charles Quarles, Mr.. and
Mrs. Joseph Quarles, Jr., Mr.. and
Mrs. William Quar1es, and DR.. and
Mrs. Walter Kempster, and an infor-
NAL welcome home was enjoyed.
Judge Quar1es took his seat on the
bench as United States district judge
for the eastern district of Wisconsin
this morning at 10 o'clock, assuming
the responsibilities of his lately ap-
pointed position. His first business
was to hear the report of the grand
jury and to examine a number of
bankruptcy matters, which will en-
gross his attention until June 10,
when he will hold court at Oshkosh.
''In a state of mental exhaustion
from my senatorial duties Mrs.
Quar1es and l left Washington on
March 10, accompanied by Senator
and Mrs. Bard, of California, who
we're with us during the entire trip"
said Judge Ouar1es. 1--WE sailed from
New York on the White Star steamer
Cretic, and made our first stop at the
islands of the Azores. Next a brief
stop at A1giers and Gibraltar, and on
to Naples, where we stayed number
of days. We went from Naples to
Pompeii, where we spent one day in
an examination of the ruined city, but
did not explore the crater of Yes
uvius. The volcano belches flame
and smoke every night, and is an in
teresting and terrible sight to a man
who has lived in prairie country all
his life.
From Pompeii we went back to
Naples and took a boat to Serento,
which lies directly across the bay.
We drove to Ama1f and Cava. which
cities lie in the greatest lemon coun-
try in the world. We arrived in Rome
for Easter Sunday and we're present
at the impressive services held in St.
Peters church on that morning. The
acoustic properties of the building
are marvellous and ] shall never for
get the intoning of the priests and
the replies by the great choir. We
we're greatly interested in the spec
tacular procession of the priests and
bishops. A most cosmopolitan audi
ence was present at ST. Peters on
Easter morning, some brought by a
spirit of curiosity and some by de-
vout religious feeling. We spent a
week in Rome, which is in many re-
spects the most wonderful city in the
world; took an exhaustive trip
through the vatican and explored the
immense library, museum and gar
dens. We also visited seven or eight
of the beautiful churches.
eve went from Florence to the
island of Ischia, lying picturesquely
| IN the bay of Naples. was entranced
with the island as the most beautiful
spot / have ever seen. The pa1atial
| hotel is situated on the riountain
side, which is great vineyard. The
crags of Vesuvius in the distance,
across the bay, outlined against the
purple and gold of an Italian sunset
sky, the whole picture mirrored in
blue of the Mediterranean, completes
an effect which once seen can never
be forgotten. The island contains
springs which are reputed to contain
medicinal powers to assuage rheuma-
tic pains. Mrs. Quar1es and both
took the baths, the effect of which was
invigorating.
This trip was essentially vaca-
ton to me and / did not allow my
mind to be burdened by business
cares. was given a sudden and dis
tinct reminder of home one morning
when picked up the London papers
and saw under big, black headlines a
complete and graphic account of the
defalcation of Frank G. Bigelow, for

bank. The papers g1oated over the
fall from rectitude on the part of the
Milwaukee fnancier, drawing invidu-
Gus comparisons to the stability Of
their own banking institutions. The
affair aroused great deal of talk
and comment throughout the whole of
Europe.
1--WE sailed from Naples to New
York on May 10 on the White Star
steamer Republic, having no less than
2, 300 passengers in the steerage.
was greatly refreshed and invigor-
ated and am anxious to get to my
work again"
Judge Quar1es is the first native of
Kenosha to be given place on the
United States bench, and he received
several kilograms from his friends in
this city today when he took up the
work Of his new Office.
