THEY SAY FAREWELL
Members of st. Matthews Parish Greet
Pastor Mallory and Wife

Quite a number of the members and
friends Of st. Matthew s church gather
ed at the Guild Hall Thursday evening
to attend reception given in honor Of
the Rector CHARLES L. Mallory and his
wife. The reception was in the nature
of farewell as Mr.. Mallory will preach
his last sermon at the church on Sunday
closing his pastorate Of nearly eight
years at that time Mr. and Mrs. Nal
Tory will leave the latter part Of next
week for Kinnebunkport, Me-, where
they will spend a month with friends
and relatives leaving the first Of Sep
TENDER for ar extended sojourn in Eu-
rope. The rector and his wife plan to
spend full year in England and Con-
tinental Europe.
In honor Of the farewell reception
to Mr.. and Mrs. Mallory, the Guild
Hall was charmingly decorated. Rev.
and Mrs. Mallory were assisted in re-
ceiying the guests by a committee com
posed Of the best known members of
the church. During the evening mu-
steal program was rendered by Mrs. Fl.
E. Tanner, Miss Grace Shepherd and
William Anderson. At the close Of the
evening refreshments were served.
The reception was an indication Of
the cordial feelings existing between
the members Of the church and the re
firing rector.
The departure of Mr.. Mallory from
the Milwaukee diocese will make it
necessary for him to- resign his office
as dean of the Milwaukee convocation
which he has held for more than ten
years The resignation will be fled
with the bishop as soon as he returns
from his trip abroad and the successor
to Mr.. Mallory will be named at the
regular session of the Milwaukee con
vocation to be held in the latter part
of the summer.
The vestry of St. Matthew's church
has as yet taken no steps to secure a
successor to Mr.. Mallory, but the Rev.
Alfred Griffin, chaplain of ST. Peter IS
chapel at Kemper Hall, will be in
charge of the services at the church
during the remainder Of the summer.
Several men have been suggested for
the pastorate among others being the
Rev. DR.. Burrell of Moline, ILL.,, who
has expressed a willingness to take up
the work of the Kenosha church. DR..
Burrell is young man but has proved
himself to be strong church organizer
and a successful rector. His parish at
Moline is one of the largest in the state
Of Illinois.

tute has been one of the most success

WORK is UNDER WAY
Contractors Start Work Of Re.
surfacing Durkee Avenue
With Few Protests
MAYOR TO CONTEST PAYMENT

Work has been started on the resur-
facing of Durkee avenue and it is prob
able that the work will go along with
out any Inference on the part Of the
city officials who have stated their
opposition to the carrying out of the
contract. The work was started at
the south end Of the street this morn
ing and it. will be carried forward as
rapidly as possible. The contractors,
Davidson and Gallagan, have announc-
ed that the work will be completed in
about six weeks and they are evidently
willing to take their chances in col
Letting from the city for the work.
It is stated that the junior member
of the contracting firm is nephew
Of M. H. McGovern, the Chicago CON
tractor, and this gives assurance that
there is plenty Of money behind the
contract to secure the completion Of
the work regardless to any action tax
en- by the city.
Mayor Scholey who had declared that
he would stop the work stated his
position clearly this morning and this
position will not interfere with the
work going on. The mayor said: ct
have served a written notice on the
contractor not to- demand pay for the
work from the city and [ will not
recognize the order to pay for the
work. I don It think that the city has
the money to do so much improvement
on single street at the present time
and this is my main reason for oppos-
ing the work = When asked if he
would appeal to the Courts to stop the
improvement by injunction, the mayor
intimated that he had no intention Of
taking such action, bit that he desired
himself to be on record as being oppos-
ed to the city paying for the improve
ment.
The matter has been laid before at
torneys by the contractors and by resi-
dents of Durkee avenue who are inter-
ested in the work and the attorneys
have given the opinion that the city
could not avoid payment for the work
If it was properly completed The
mayor may decline to sign an order
for the payment for the work and in
such case it would probably be neces-
sary for the contractors to bring an
action against the city to- collect the
pay for the work. This would only
increase the cost of the work to the
city as the attorneys for the contrac-
tors claim that the contract is in every
way legal. There was an indication Of
some internal trouble on the street this
morning when one Of the property own
ers protested against the work being
started at the south end Of the street.
AS the machinery is now in operation
at the south end and it is probable
that no change in the plan for the work
will be made at this time.

quaintances with those from a distance
and becoming acquainted with the new
members Of the family. At three
o CLOCK most of the crowd attended
the services given by the boys of St.
Peters choir of Chicago, who were camp
ing on the east shore OF the lake.

BACK IN THE RACE
Former Sheriff Henry Ti1nme Takes Out
Petitions for Sheriff

Former Sheriff Henry FL. Timme,
alderman of the Second ward, is now
in the race for the Republican nomina-
tion for sheriff and is to stay. A short
time ago Mr.. Timme decided not to
make the race for the nomination, but
on account of the urgent requests from
his friends he has decided to take out
petitions and is already out with his
sleeves rolled up looking for the nomi-
nation. It is understood that notwith-
standing the fact that he was q little
late getting out his papers they will
be circulated in all parts of the coun-
ty. The coming Of Timme into the
race has put an entirely new side to the
fight. The five Republicans now seek
ing the nominations are Robert E. Viii
son of Brighton, William Gunter Of
Bristol, Henry Biehn of Paris, Michael
Kleist and Henry H Timme of Keno
sha. All Of the men are hard at work
and the primary fight promises to be
the hottest ever Waged in the county
for any nomination.

The report Of the auditors employed
to examine the accounts of the city
seems to cover the ground pretty tho
roughly, but some of the aldermen do
not appear to be any Zoo well satisfied
with it for all that. Perhaps the re-
port goes into details too carefully, but
in the opinion Of most people that is
one of the things that makes it Of
value. Surely the report would be of
no value whatever if the figures were
juggled in order to conceal any of the
payments made for any purpose what
ever and it is to the credit of the audi
tors that when they found that some
of the money of the taxpayers was be-
ing paid out illegally they had the
courage to- say so and their action in
this particular instance is a good indica-
ton that the rest of the figures can
be depended upon. AS matter of
fact the report told nothing but what
was well understood by the majority
Of the taxpayers of the city before the
report was made.

Legal contracts entered into good
faith with the city of Kenosha are still
good whatever bumptious officials may
say to the contrary. The wisdom of max
ing the contract will not enter into the
question at all should the matter be
taken into the courts. If the contracts
are without flaw the contractor can
collect under them.
