HAWAII To co
To YACHT CLUB
Majority of Donors Agree to
Transfer and Members
Approve.

At the annual meeting of the Hawaii
Yacht club, held in the Commercial Club
rooms last night, the members were
notified that majority of the donors
to the yacht Hawaii fund had signified
their willingness to transfer their IN
terest to the yacht club; and it was
unanimously resolved to take over the
Yacht and assume the indebtedness of
$4,000 as well as the amount already
paid out, by the committee in charge,
for maintenance of the yacht since the
race.
Of those who consented to turn over
their interest to the club thirty-five
agree to become members of the club,
thus bringing the active membership
up to more than hundred. Before
those who subscribed to the yacht fund
can become members, by turning in
their certificates of donation in place
of initiation fee, the charter of the club
must be changed. This matter was
placed in the hands of competent COM
mittee and will be seen to at once, SO
that there will be little delay in the
readjustment.
Up till now there have been two
classes of members of the club. Those
who held stock and could vote and those
who held no stock. Under the new ar
rangement those who subscribed to-
wards the yacht fund can turn their
certificates in and receive shares of
stock in return, thus becoming regular
members AS all the members subscrIb-
ed, they will naturally all become stock
holders.
The annual election of officers was
held and the following were elected to
Office for the ensuing year: c. I. Viii
der, commodore; James Jaeger, vice
commodore; A. w. Nicely, secretary and
treasurer; II. D. Bowen, port captain
o. L. Sorenson, measurer; Roht L..
Scott, r. B. Rietow, T. V. King, E. L.
Kruss and F. L. Miller, directors. Chas
Crane, Geo. c.. Beckley and j. n. Den
sham, regatta committee.
Several changes were made in the
bylaws, most of them bearing on the
new adjustment of stock. Among them
were changes allowing others than pure
ly amateur yachtsmen to belong to the
club and a frightening of the time nee
essary for member to be absent IN
! order to be exempt from dues.
The members were notified OF the
gift by Commodore Spalding of the
South Coast yacht club of a cup to be
sailed for by sea wrens, this cup to be
won three times before becoming the
property of the winner. Other condl
lions were left entirely to the yacht
club management. A vote of thanks
to the donor was passed.
Tho nootfer IF fha eourIn nf thp race
for the Irwin cup was discussed and il
was finally decided to have it from the
harbor spar buoy to a mark off Kokt
Head, back to the outer Pearl Harbol
entrance buoy and thence to the spal
buoy again. This race must be wor
three times before the cup becomes thu

SHOWN NO fAVORS
State Legislature Refuses Prefer.
ment to Spanish.American
War Veterans in State
MUST FOLLOW CIVIL SERv CE

The veterans of the -Spanish-Ameri-
can war who reside in Wisconsin will
not have preference in civil service
examinations for state positions. The
United Spanish War Veterans asso-
citation in this, state made an effort to
have a bill passed by the legislature
giving Spanish war veterans the same
preference in civil service exanaina-
tions that veterans of the Civil war
received.
A few days ago the bill was brought
up in the assembly and it caused
spirited scrap.
{ Mr.. Bray maintained that there was
no reason for giving these preferences
if the civil service law was to be con.
tinued. Mr.. Ledvina asked if he
would vote to wipe out the preference
given civil war veterans. Mr.. Bray
replied that while in their case some
sentiment might govern if the question
came up he would vote against it.
Mr.. Ingram held that the Spanish war
veterans were still young men and able
to contend on an equal footing with
others. In the case Of the civil war
veterans it was different. Mr.. In
gram turned on the tremulo stop in
speaking of the old soldiers and then
opened the acid tap for the veterans
of the little disturbance with Spain.
A roll call was demanded, which Mr..
Bray said was for political purposes,
so as to place members on record He
moved call of the house, bit not a
sufficient number Of the members arose
to second it. The bill was finally non
concurred in. When all again seemed
peaceful Mr.. Bray moved a reconsidera-
ton to which Mr.. Ledvina retorted
that If the motion were persisted in he
would vote q call of the house.
Speaker Bancroft put an end to the
squabble by ruling that The motion of
Mr.. Bray was out of order, as there
had been one reconsideration of the.
bill and that was all that could be
had. This ended the warfare and the
Spanish veteran will have to take his
chances in civil service examination
with the other fellows and depend on
his brain work with no assistance
from his war record.

The action of the Council in passing
the ordinance granting the street rail
way company a franchise to engage in
the lighting business in this city may
be of some value to the company as
showing the sentiment Of the people
in favor Of competition in the light
ing business, but it is good for moth
ing else according to the opinion of
the city attorney and, in the past,
time has proved that his judgment was
sound when the Council has seen fit to
act against his advice. The situation,
as the lawyers see it, is that the
Council now has no right to grant any
franchise before a certificate Of neces-
sity and convenience has been obtain
ed from the State Railroad Commits
sion. However, as the city attorney
pointed out in rendering his opinion,
the city does not engage to fight the
battles of the street railway company
in passing this ordinance giving it a
franchise and if the company
wants the franchise as a basis on which
to start contest in the courts to test
the validity of the public utilities law
or to use in strengthening its case be-
fore the Railroad Commission, a large
majority of the people of the city
would favor passing it. The action Of
the Council does not always reflect the
wishes of the people, but in this case
there is no doubt but that it does.

H. NJ. HEANEY COMING
G. Of c. Secures a Foremost Com
mercial Educator

Prof. Q. L. Trenary of the College
OF Commerce has just secured con-
tract with Herbert NJ Heaney, now of
NorWalk, Ohio, for several years ser
vice. Mr.. Heaney will make a very
valuable addition to the educational
forces of the city.
After graduating from the Collegiate
Institute of Ontario he took extensive
university work. He also holds a
diploma from the Teachers Training
Institute, Canada. He had five years ,
experience as a public school teacher
before taking up special training for
commercial work. So great was his
promise that he was at once employed
by the school graduating him to teach
at Grand Rapids, Michigan. His
strong work there attracted the atten-
ton Of W. n. Ferris, president of Fer
ris Institute, Big Rapids, Michigan.
This is the largest private school in
Michigan and one of the most progress
sive and thorough in the country.
Mr.. Heaney took full charge of the
commercial department, having a total
enrolment Of nearly three hundred
students. He retained this position for
four years, during which time the at
tendance increased forty per cent. Ne
left the Ferris Institute to take charge
OF school of his own, but was induced
to come to the College of Cmmerce.
Mr.. Heaney is public speaker of
recognized merit and is deeply inter
ested in social problems and in church
work. He will move here to be in
his work August l.
G. Fl. Howeison, principal of the
commercial department for the past
year has purchased an interest in a
Milwaukee school and will begin work
there July /. Miss Beatrice Verran
has resigned her position with the
school to remove to the coast with her
parents. Her place vail be filed by a
strong man.
Mr.. Trenary naturally feels elated
over his success in securing Mr.. Heaney
and the very rapid growth Of the school
will surely continue.

SEEK ROBBER HERE
Racine Men Claim To Be Victims
of kenosha Man to Amount
of More Than $500
SEEK TO RECOVER PROPERTY

C. P. Reichert, who resides at g01
Grand avenue, Racine, came to Keno
sha Wednesday in an attempt to To-
cate a suit of his clothes which. had
walked off in this direction on the
back Of his erstwhile room mate. H.
5. Brown and John Tausenmark, who
also shared the room with Reichert,
lost a suit of clothes each in the sud-
den departure of the man whose name
is supposed to be Jensen. Other eff
fects of the three men to the amount
Of about $500 are also missing. Jen-
sen is declared to reside in Kenosha.
When he complained Of the robbery
to the police Reichert said that it was
only out of the kindness of their
hearts that the three men took the
stranger into their room and allowed
him to have a bed for 81 a. week. The
man came to the Reichert house last
Friday and asked for cheap lodging. He
said that he was working for the Ra-
cine Manufacturing company and that
his finances were SO low that he could
not afford to pay more than 81 for
room. Out Of kindness the three men
offered to allow him to share their
room at that figure until the man S
financial situation should be improved.
He seemed very grateful for this assis-
lance and when he departed left his
old working suit of overalls to be
divided among his three benefactors in
exchange for the three almost new suits
which he took with him. The three
men are now without clothing except
their working clothes and are minus
a number of articles Of jewelry.f
Jensen came home from his work in
the middle of the day Wednesday and
this aroused the suspicion of the mem
bers Of the Reichert household with
whom he roomed A little boy was
sent by Mrs. Reichert to the upper
room to ascertain the cause Of Jen-
sen S early return and the man hurried
ly left the sleeping room closing the
door after him, and went into toilet
room with bundle under his arm.
Soon afterwards he left the house and
has not been seen since then. It is
thought that he took car for Keno
sha.
The three men who are the losers in
the transaction Of friendship are EN-
ployed by the Imperial Bit & Snap COM
pany and have been close friends for
long time. The valuables which are
are pair gold cuff buttons,
a gold band ring, a Woodman badge
and ring, suit case and a quantity of
wearing apparel. The thief leaves the
three men in very embarrassing
plight.

BEETs TAKE PLACE OF CABBAGE
Hundreds of Acres Of Sugar Beets Be
ing Grown in Kenosha County


The acreage of sugar beets in Ke-
nosha and Racine counties this year is
very large, nearly every farmer having
a patch. The raising of this product
has to great extent superseded the
growing Of cabbage which has been one
OF the principal market crops of the
county during past years.
There is some talk among farmers
in the counties Of forming a company
to engage in the refining business in
order to avoid the cost of shipping the
product 10 the large refneries ia the
northern ana central part Of the state.
Whether he company will be for1aed
during this year is matter Of doubt.
Last year the crop in this section of
the county was so large that the train
service was inadequate to carry away
the product. Cars of beets were held
upon the tracks for indefinite lengths
OF time, partly because Of the inahili-
ty of the sugar companies to handle
the crop. Agents of the companies
state that the capacity Of the factories
has been more than doubled during the
last year and that they can handle this
year s crop with ease.
The Wisconsin Sugar Beet Company
has a model beet farm in operation on
the old Durand estate in Racine county
lust north of the Somers line. One
hundred acres of the farm have been
leased by the company and the best
methods Of growing and handling the
crop will be demonstrated by those in
charge of the fields.

Resolutions OF Respect tothe
Late Alexander Bailey
PRAISE WORK AS CITIZEN
Resolution Proposed by Assemblylnan
w. M. Curtiss Passed by Unani-
nous Vote of the Legislature
and Placed on Record

The Wisconsin State legislature has
paid tribute to the memory Of the late
Alexander Bailey, former postmaster
of the village of Salem and one of
the best known Of the pioneer resi-
dents Of Kenosha county and copies of
an assembly resolution in regard to the
death of Mr.. Bailey have been SAINT
to Kenosha county to be fled with the
other resolutions and laws passed by

high tribute to the memory of the de-
ceased Kenosha man for his achieve
ments as citizen and as an official
and the resolutions have been made a
part Of the permanent records of the
present session of the legislature. The
revolutions were proposed by Assem-
blyman w. M. Curtiss of the village Of
Trevor who had been a life long
friend Of Mr.. Bailey and who held him
In high esteem. In presenting the
resolution Mr.. Curtiss spoke OF the
long life Of Mr.. Bailey in Kenosha
county and the loyal service that he
had given the county and the state
during residence of more than sixty
five years in Kenosha county. He
spoke of the activities of the deceased
in township offices and the great in
terest which he had taken in foster
ing the school system of the town Of
Salem. He spoke Of his work as a
member of the state assembly in the
early seventies and of the interest he
had always taken in the work Of the
lower law making body of the Wiscon-
sin legislature. The resolution was
passed by unanimous vote Of the
lower house and the chief clerk was
directed to see to it that copies of it
be sent to the relatives Of the deceas-
ed and that it be incorporated in the
permanent proceedings Of the legisla
ture. The resolution as passed follows:
Assembly Resolution

resident Of Kenosha County, and promi-
nent in the affairs of his section Of che
state, died at his home in the town Of
Salem, Kenosha county, on the 2Sth
day of May, 1909. Mr.. Bailey was
born in Lorraine, Jefferson county,

tions of honor and trust. He repre-
sented Kenosha county in the legisla-
ture asa member Of the assembly for

citation Of the achievements Of this

porated with the official proceedings of
the day.

R. A. ThierfeIder and Mrs. Minnie
Walter Married for q Second
Time on Wednesday
RECALLS FAMOUS DIVORCE
Thierfelder and Wife Insist on Comply
ing With the Wisconsin Laws
and Judge Slosson Per.
forms Ceremony

The marriage of Richard A. Thier-
fielder, foreman of the knitting room
of the Chicago -Kenosha Hosiery Works
and Mrs. Minnie Meisner Walter, also
of kenosha was celebrated at the Of
| fee of County Judge Russell H. Slos-
son just after seven o'clock Wednes-
day afternoon and this wedding was
the closing chapter of a long series of
interesting incidents in which Thier-
fielder had been one of the principal
actors. It was an unusual wedding as
it was the second time within a year
that Thierfelder and Mrs. Walter had
taken upon themselves the solemn OBJ
| legations of the married state. A lit
tie less than a year ago after Mrs.
Anna Thierfelder had divorced her
husband after a sensational court case
Mrs. Walter and Mr. Thierfelder were
married in Michigan, but fearing that
the marriage was not in compliance
with the Wisconsin law they applied
to the county clerk on Wednesday for
a license. The clerk referred the mat
ter to the district attorney and At
torney Baker held that in order for the
Thierfelder marriage to be legal under
the laws Of this state it would be
necessary for the couple to be remar-
|ried. On this opinion from the at
torney County Clerk Jones issued the
license and Judge Slosson issued an
order permitting an immediate cere-
mony and a short time later in the
evening performed the ceremony.
| The marriage of Thierfelder recalls
the scandal which attended the action
for divorce brought by Mrs. Anna
Thierfelder, the former wife Of the
Kenosha man. Mrs. Thierfelder sought
separation on grounds of cruel and in
human treatment and the husband filed
an answer charging her with most SEN
sational violations of her matrimonial
obligations. DR.. Frank I'll. Gilman, a
former Kenosha physician, was named
in the answer Of Thierfelder and later
he was arrested on a serious statutory
lcharge, but the court directed a jury
to acquit him. Later Mrs. Gilman,
the wife of the accused doctor, died in
Milwaukee and it was claimed at the
time that her death was due to the
notoriety brought on by the court hear
ings in which her husband was named
as a defendant. The avorce was
granted to Mrs. Thierfelder on May
az, 1908, by Judge BeIden and she was
awarded alimony in the sum Of So q
week, but later a settlement of the
alimony was made by the parties in
question. Friends of the couple
claimed that the divorce was due to
incompatibility Of temperaments. Short
|ly after the decree had been entered
Thierfelder married Mrs. Walter, who
was formerly Miss Minnie Meisner,
but finding that the marriage would
not be legal under the Wisconsin laws
on account of the fact that the hus-
band had not been divorced for year
at the time of the wedding they decid-
ed on second ceremony.
The announcement of the marriage
will undoubtedly come as considerable
of a surprise to the friends of Mr..
and Mrs. Thierfelder.
