PRESIDENT PALMER

1t must be a source of personal salts
faction to Henry L. Palmer on retiring
from the presidency Of the Northwest
ern Mutual Life to review his career
with that splendid institution Presi-
dent Palmer has been both creator
and conservator. He started with the
company fifty years ago when it was
struggling for existence and being sub
jected to the rany perils of infancy.
His genius has been applied to It's up
building on safe, Substantial ground
He knew it when it had but 100000
OF business in force. He sees it today
with 100000 on its books and
1926, 100000 assets.
That accomplishment in the world Of
business stamps Mr.. Palmer as one Of
the great captains of his day. He mas
injected into the Northwestern his
strength of mind and character 1t has
done much FOR its policyholders. In
spite Of its massiveness, the company
has been comparatively free from the
baneful influences that led to wrong
DONG IN the east.
The men that President Palmer has
drawn around him at the home office
and the forces in the field give the
Northwestern Mutual Life dignity
that but few institutions possess.
President Palmer's work is not end
ed. The company will go forth in its
benefcent mission carrying on the ser
ice that it has 50 generously rendered
Under his leadership. While not the
most brilliant, spectacular or daring
life insurance president, his record for
Permanency, integrity and service to-
his charge puts him in the front rank
Of the greatest executive heads. He
has given to the west it's largest life
company and to the country one Of
its best. ~

RACINE BANKER COM:
John Schultz, Paying Teller Of
First National Bank Missing
and SIS, 900 Also Gone
EXAMINER FINDS SHORTAGE

Racine had one Of the biggest SEN
sations in its history Tuesday evening
when a warrant was issued for the ar
rest of John Schultz, paying teller of
the First National Bank of that city,
charging him with having defaulted
with funds Of the bank to the amount
Of 5000. Schultz had been an en-
ploye of the bank for the past twenty
years and was forty years of age. He
had begun work with the bank in one
Of the minor positions and had worked
up to the position of paying teller. He
is widely known among bank officials
III this portion Of the state.
Tuesday afternoon Bank Examiner
Merton went to the bank to make the
regular seni-annual examination Of the
affairs of the bank and at the time
Schultz was at work in his cage. He
aided the examiner in making the ex-
mination and when the cash in his cage
was counted it was found to be correct.
Just about this time Schultz excused
himself and stated that he was going
out Of the bank for a few minutes.
This was the last seen Of him.
! The examiner proceeded with his
work and when he reached the vaults
he found a shortage Of $4,000. By
this time the search for Schultz was
deemed advisable, but no trace Of him
could be found
Schultz had evidently known The dis
coVery that would be made by the ex-
aminer and took his chances on getting
away.
Schultz was well known to many peo-
pie in Kenosha and among his acquain-
tances there had never been the least
suspicion that all was not well. Schulz
te was married about year ago.

Louis 7. Walsh is One Of Wis.
consin's Delegates to Con-
vention Of Independents
SEES HEARST LIKE sAP0LEoN
Kenosha Man Declares He Does Not
Know the Strength of New Party
in This State But Expects
Many Independent Votes

Louis I. Walsh of this city, who had
the distinction of being one of the
tWenty-slx delegates from Wisconsin to
take part in the borning of the new
Independence party in Chicago, return
ed home this morning and he is enthu-
siastic over the prospects for the new
party. Mr.. Walsh took an important
place in the proceedings Of the conyen-
ton and was one Of the leaders in the
Wisconsin delegation to the convention.
He declares that he does not know
what the strength of the new party
will be in this county, but he feels
assured that there is large number of
people in the state who are anxious to
align themselves with party which
takes an advanced view on the great
fight against the trusts. Mr.. Walsh
declares that the fight against the
trusts and corruption in Office was the
main reason for the formation Of the
new party and that he expects the
movement to do a great deal Of good.
:" It was a great gathering Of patriotic
men, said Mr.. Walsh, and while it
is impossible to tell just what will be
accomplished it will take some time to
find out Every great movement has to
have its beginning and we believe that
We are working along the right line.
The trust problem, the referendum and
the recall are the principal points Of
interest in the platform The party is
already strong in Massachusetts, and the
California Organization has done much
to aid in the legislation along the lines
suggested, /"
Mr.. Walsh compares William Ran
dolph Hearst, the patron saint of the
new party, to Napoleon. He said: ~
know lots of people think that MI
Hearst is Wind-bag, but they though
the same thing Of Napoleon when he
was sent down into Italy, but when he
returned it was--Napoleon that was
giving the orders. -
Wien it was suggested that Hearst
should have been the nominee Of the
party for president, Mr.. Walsh said:
Mr.. Hearst did not think that the
time was ripe for his candidacy and the
strength shown by Hisgen when he
came nearly being elected governor of
Massachusetts,, made him the logical
choice Of the convention for president. =
Mr.. Walsh said that he did not know
what steps would be taken to advance
the new party in Wisconsin or in this
section, and he would not hazard a
guess as to the number of votes to be
polled by the new party in Wisconsin.
He declared, however, that the party
would get many of the independent
votes.
Mr.. Walsh did not know of any other
members of the party in Kenosha and
it is possible that he will be the sole
supporter of the principles Of the party
at the coming election.

Contractor jones Blocked With
Street Pavement Until A. C.
Frost Acts
R, R. COMPANY SLOW TO net
Contractor Urges that Track be Laid at
Once But Gets Little Satisfaction
From Head of Railway
Company in Chicago

John O. Jones, who has the contract
fol the improvement of West Market
street, Newell street and Grand avenue,
stopped all work TUESDAY night on ac-
count of the fact that he has not been
able to make any arrangements with a.
way Company to provide for the com
pletion Of the work which the company
is expected to pay for It is impos-
sible to proceed with the work until
some arrangement can be made with
the railway company and Jones and
his attorneys have taken the matter up
the Frost company. Jones kept his
men at work until Tuesday night, but
he declares that there is absolutely
nothing farther to be done until after
the railway company has completed it's
part Of the contract to provide some
way to pay for the work. The matter
has been taken up with the officials Of
the company repeatedly and a curt let
ter from Frost declining to furnish any
further security is all the answer that
has been received. Mr.. Frost is desir-
GUS of having the work done and the
cost of it levied in assessments cover
ing a period Of years, but the contractor
declares that he cannot accept such an
agreement unless the cost is guaranteed
by the city or by some bank. The rail
way company has taken no steps to lay
the tracks on Grand avenue as pro
yided for by the ordinance recently
passed by the Council by which the
time Of the company for the building
of the lines was extended with the
understanding that the tracks on
Grand avenue were to go in at once.
In addition to this it is up to the rail
way company to relay it's tracks on
the west end Of Market street from
the tracks of the western division Of
the Northwestern to Newell street and
along Newell street
Jones declares that unless some step
is taken to force the company to do this
work at once it will be impossible to
, complete the paving Of these streets
during the present year.
Frost is not in Chicago at present
and the local superintendent claims to
be completely in the dark as to the
plans OF the company in regard to the
carrying out of these contracts. The
Council passed the ordinance in good
faith and it was understood that Frost
would proceed to the work of laying
tracks and paying for the pavements
at once. 1t is just possible that the
| city may find the same trouble on Mar
ket Square and that the work will be
delayed there by the railway company
failing to raise their tracks to the new
grade at the time the work is to be
put in.

For ten minutes the Senator was in

plainly confused. He would not dis

time to deny the report that the miss
