SUPREME COURT
OF CALIFORNIA
is ADJOURNED

The supreme court of California adj
iourned yesterday morning Immediate
ly upon the receipt of news of San
Franciscos distress. The meeting of
the court was brief and imposing. Mat
ters of vital Importance were before 1t
for adjudication and lawyers were
ready for the argument of their cases
after months of preparation.
But the news that had flashed to
them involved the safety of their homes
and loved ones. for most Of them re-
side in San Francisco, and there was
not the slightest hesitation upon the
part of the court as to where its duty
lay.
Adjournment was had at once. Those
lawyers desiring the opportunity of
orally arguing their cases were in
formed that they could have the oppor-
tunity of doing so at the next term,
while those who were willing to stand
upon the briefs filed in the cases could
submit them in that form.
Start Northward
Arrangements were at once made for
a special train and with hardly any
appreciable delay the members of the
court started on the journey northward.
The train started at 10:30. scarcely two
hours after the first news had been re-
ceiVed.
The members of the court who were
passengers on the special were Chief
Justice w. H. Beatty and Associate
Justices r. B. Mcfarland, f. w. Hen
shaw, r. M. Angelotti, Lucien Shaw,
w. G. Lorigan and M. c. Sloss. With
them was the bailiff of the court, ]. M.

WOODMEN IN FORCE
Members Of Many North Shore
Camps Come to kenosha to
Attend Banquet Saturday
BIG CLASS is GIVEN DEGREES

Members Of the Modern Woodmen
from many of the cities of the north
shore came to Kenosha on Saturday
evening to attend the big Woodmen
meeting and banquet given by the To-
cal camp in honor Of the adoption of a
large class of new members, and the
showing made by the visitors was
certainly one worthy of note. The
parade, which took place just before
o. clock, had more than two hundred
uniformed members of the order in
line, and preceded by band, the long
line of marching men marched
through Main street. In the parade
we're forester camps from Evanston,
Waukegan, Racine, Corliss, Somers
and Kenosha.
After the parade about the city the
Foresters led the way to the hall of
the order, where more than four nun
dred Woodmen had gathered to wit
ness the ceremonies of the evening.
1t was great night for Woodcraft. It
had been planned to initiate a class of
N.Y. Jul OuAJ ~ LlAO NCl :
ti6cates had been received from the
head camp and the remainder of the
candidates will have to wait until
some other time. The degree work
was done by the Kenosha team, as
sisted by Judge E. B. Belden, of Ra-
cine, and c. t. Heydecker, of Wau-
kegan. 1t was a very impressive
ceremony.
After the adoption of the large class
luncheon was served, at which COW
ers we're laid for $50. After luncheon
a social session was started which
lasted until early morning. Nearly
every one of the visitors was called
into the session and there were some
decidedly good stories told while the
crowd was kept on the roar during the
evening by the entertainers.
All of the camps in Kenosha and
Racine counties sent personalities
to the session, and members from
other camps along the lake shore were
also in attendance. The Kenosha
camp of the Woodmen is growing
with rapid strides and it is now the
largest benevolent society represented
in the city.

PLAYED A TIE GAME

Mouarchs of WauKegan and Kenosha
Independents Have a Hot Contest
The Kenosha Independents football
team played another tie game on last
Saturday afternoon at the Y M. c. A.
field, when they met the Monarchs of
Waukegan, and after forty minutes of
hard play the game ended with
neither team scoring. The Kenosha
team. however, won all the honor of
the game, as the visitors outweighed
the locals by about ten pounds to the
man. The Kenosha team at one time
got the ball within ten feet of the goal
and Cleary tried for goal kick, but
failed. After this the ball was kept
pretty close to the center of the field
A large crowd attended the game,
some fifty coming with the Waukegan
team.

waukee for Larceny, Arrested Here
Fred Caberren, man from South
Milwaukee, was arrested here last
night by Police Officer Joseph Euting
on a charge of grand larceny. Ca
berren was arrested on the orders of
the police at South Milwaukee, who
charge him with stealing between
forty and fifty dollars in money and
a check for $21 from the Mufgt Foun-
dry Comp any at that point. Caber-
rem left South Milwaukee on Satur-
day night aud was traced to Racine
on Sunday. The Racine off Gals got
on the trail of the man, but he dis
covered that he was being watched
and fled from Racine on an electric
car. He was arrested just after he
reached Kenosha. He spent the night
in jail and was taken to South Mil
waukee for trial today. He declares
that he is innocent of the charges
against him.
When searched at the Jail the man
had in his pockets a receipt book

AFTER BlG PLUMBER
Burglars Attempt to Secure En-
trance to the Gottfredsen &
NicolI JeWeIry Sore
ARDU0US WORK UNREWARDED

The old gang of kenosha burglars
went out after the big game Satur-
day night or Sunday night when they
made an effort to loot sthe jewe1ry
store of Gottfredsen and Nicoll. The
attempted burglary3 was discovered
this morning and sthe police officials
are making anseffort to discover the
guilty parties.
The burglar was evidently pretty
we'll acquainted3with the lay of the
land in the store andsit is evident that
he worked for hourss:in an effort to
force the iron doorswhichnlead from
the basement of the store to the main
room. The entrance to the basement
was made by breaking open a window
at the rear of the store. Before the
window was opened the man was
forced to remove tEo iron gratings
but it is evident that &c had made all
parations for this work in advance
and was able to getsinto the basement
without much trouble. Once In the
basement he had,started his assault on
the heavy iron door leading to the
store.
He had evidently worked at this
door for hours and was frightened
away just before the bolt which held
the door had given way. The bolt
was solid piece of iron FIVE inches
in length and the fellow had worked
the door up and down until gthis bolt
had all but slipped from the staple.
The fellow was evidently frightened
away for he went without closing the
window and covering his tracks. So
far nothing has been discovered miss
ing and the proprietors of sthe store
state that there was nothing of value
in the basement.
Had the man managed to get into
the main store room the story would
have been of a different nature as he
would have been able to secure a
large amount of booty. It's evident
to the police tnat the work was done
by some local craftsman and every
effortis being made to round up the
gang and secure some clue to thesreal
culprits.

LETTER is RETURNED
Last Message of Suicide to Friend is
Again i Il Hands of Coroner Robinson


Evidence is piling up to show that
Harry Foster, the Chicago man who
committed suicide here two weeks
ago, did everything IN his power to
conceal his identity, for this morning
Coroner Robinson received from San
Francisco the letter which the man
had written to one r. B. Stetfens, who
was alleged to be the best friend or
the suicide. The postmaster simply
stated that no man by the name of
Steffeus had ever lived at the address
on the envelope, and it is thought
that this was simply one of the plans
Of Foster 10 conceal his identity.
The letter will be forwarded to the
friends of the dead man, and it is pos
sible that they will be able to secure
its delivery 10 the proper party. The
men who took charge of the remains
of Foster declared that he had never
lived in San Francisco.

George Lundane Seriously In
jured on the Balm Farm
Sunday Afternoon
BULLET TAKES QUEER COURSE
Manley Mills Admits Firing the Shot
Which Injured the Boy, and He
Does all in His Power to
Aid in ChiId's Recovery

George Lundane, boy sixteen
years of age, employed at the Chica-
go-Kenosha Hosiery Company's plant,
was the victim of an unusual acci-
dent on Sunday afternoon and he is
now at the Kenosha hospital suffer
ing from bullet wound inflicted by
a shot fired by Manley Mills, we'll
known employe Of the Thomas B.
Jeffery company.
Lundane was shot on the Balm farm
Just after four O'Clock Sunday after
noon With a party of his friends he
had been playing on the farm, when
without any warning he felt sting
of pain in the left side of his back
and am examination showed that he
had been shot The bullet, which
was fred from twenty-five calibre
automatic Winchester rifle, mad
passed entirely through his body and
the boy found it just under the skin
below the left breast. He could get
hold of the bullet with his hand. The
boy was terribly frightened and he
started to run across the field when he
came up to Mills and his party who
had been shooting at target.
''You have shot me, the boy
shouted, and pointed to the wound in
his breast. Mills and the members
of the party thought that the boy was
Joking, as he had not been in the
range of the gun at any time, but
when it was discovered that the boy
had been shot, he was placed aboard a
motor vehicle and hurried to the hos
pital as rapidly as possible. DR.. Rob-
inson was called upon to attend the
wounded boy and he had no trouble
removing the bullet. The bullet had
entered the back of the boy on the left
side and just above the heart. 1t
passed clear through his body, but
the physicians do not believe that any
vital part was struck by the bullet
This morning the injured boy was
suffering from hemorrhages and it is
possible that the wound will take a
dangerous turn. Mills and his assoc
ciates are doing all in their power to
see that the boy has the proper atten-
ton.
When seen this morning Mills told
the whole story of the accident. He
stated that with a party of friends he
had gone out into the country early
Sunday afternoon and that the party
had stopped along the road near the
Balm farm and had been shooting at
targets placed on the fence. just how
the boy could have been hit with the
bullet, Mills could not explain. The
boy and his friends we're playing un-
der a hill quarter of mile from the
place where the Mills party were
shooting and it is thought that the
bullet struck something and grazed
off. 1t evidently struck the boy with
a great deal of force as it passed al
most entirely through his body.
The boy suffered considerable from
the loss of blood before he reached
the hospital, but he was game to the
core and declined to take any opiate
when the physicians operated on him.

in Bad Condition
KEN0SHA MEMBERSAFFECTED
Max Asher, of Milwaukee, is Named tC
Take Charge of the Affairs of the
Society and Must Give Bonds
for $4,000

Max Ascher, of Milwaukee, was ap-
pointed receiver of the grand lodge
of the Ancient Order of United Work
men of Wisconsin Monday by Judge
Ha1sey, of Milwaukee, under bond of
$780, 900.
This step marks the beginning of
legal proceedings to wind up the af-
fairs Of the organization which has
about 100000 of unpaid mortuary
claims, about So, O00,O0 of outstanding
insurance in effect and $25,C00 assets.
The action was instituted by the
officers of the organization against
the trustees, and will not be con-
tested, it is said, because the defend
ants realize that the present rate of
assessment is too low to permit of the
order being continued as it has been
in the past.
There are about 400 members in
Wisconsin whose policies of insur-
ance will terminate if the order is
wound up in hereceivership proceed
ings.
Liquidation will be directed by Re-
ceiver Ascher and his attorney, Chas
Friend. Hume & Oellerich, Of Osh-
kosh, are attorneys for the officers up
on whose petition the receiver was
appointed The defendant trustees
are epresented by Arthur S. FREUD.
For FIVE months mortuary claims
have not been paid, it is alleged. The
trustees have had numerous meetings
to determine what should be done to
| place the order on a sound financial
basis. But after deliberation it was
determined, on Sept. "a, that the or
der has continued TOO long an unwar-
ranted low rate of insurance to per,
nit Of the affaifs of the organization
being Strengthened without recourse
to the courts.
A large number Of the insured IN
Kenosha are men Of advanced age
whose expectation of life is short. 1t
has been practically conceded by the
men in charge Of the order that there
was no feasible way of meeting these
claims as they became due, not to
speak of the balance of So, 900, 600 of
insurance distributed among the rest
