CONDEMNS ACTION
OF TEXAS MAS0NS
Past Grand Master Melish Says
Taft Case Is Regular.

Cincinnati, Feb. 5.-W. B. Melish,
past grand master of the grand lodge
of Masons, said that the adoption of
the resolution by the Masonic chapter
at Workman, Texas, condemning the
action of the grand master of Ohio
in granting special dispensation in
the case of President-elect Taft, per-
hitting him to become a Mason "at
sight" is unprecedented and mex
cusable.
He declared that the action of the
grand master of Ohio was absolutely
regular and Masonic in every respect,
and in accordance with Masonic
precedent. He said that the Worth
am chapter in adopting the resolu-
ton is either an irregular chapter or
it is violating the tenets of Masonry
In passing such resolution, and that
the grand high priest can be asked
to discipline the chapter.

Police.

Newark, N. j., Feb. 5.-There were
sensational developments in the case
OF Frank Wilhelm, the contractor.
who was found murdered in his home
near here Monday. though the actual
clearing up Of the mystery that eur
rounds the tragedy has not yet come
The revelations included the charge
that Wilhelm had three wives living.
and that he had never been divorced
Another occurrence of interest was
the action of the police in suddenly
bringing Mrs. Mary j. Wilhelm and
Nicholas Sicca, boarder in the VII
helm home, both held in connection
with the murder, into the .presence
of the body of the murdered man
Mrs. Wilhelm, although she became.
historical, withstood the test fairly
well, but Sicca was so disturbed that
his arraignment in court had to be
postponed.
The allegation regarding the do
nestle life of the murdered man
came during progress of the funer--
al of Wilhelm. Mrs. Frederick VIII
helm Of New York, who claimed she
was married to Wilhelm in Jersey
City in 1894, soon after he had de-
serted his first wife, Hannah NL-
helm, who was also his stepsister-
Two years later, she said, she discOv-
cred his perfidy.
When she accused him he deserted
her, she alleged, and her year-old
daughter and baby soon to be born.
ard fed with his stepsister wife.
Since then she had not heard from
him until the child, then unborn and
now a lad of IL years, read of his
murder IN a newspaper and reeog
nized his picture in the paper as that
, of the man whose pictures in their
home. he had been told, was his faith
er. Mrs. Frederick Wilhelm does
not know what became of Hannah
Wilhelm. The wife with whom ho
has recently been living. Mrs. Mary
j. Wilhelm, is in Jail, held In connec-
ton with the murder.
Mrs. Frederick Wilhelm and hsx
sister. Mrs. Maria Armater Of New
York, tainted at Wilhelm's bier while
the funeral was IN PROCESS and when.
as they declared. they identified thG
dead man the husband Of Freder~
icka Wilhelm.
The last named fell dramatically
across the coffin IN complete state
Of collapse. while her sister slipped
to the floor In faint.
Mrs. Mary ]. Wilhelm, the VITA
now held In connection with the muir
der, was not permitted to attend tn

BASE BALL ARTICLE
CAUSES MUCH ALARM
An Open Letter From Judge E. S.
JOuett on the Benefits TO be De-
rived From This Sport.
Editor Winchester News:

Editor Winchester News:
Your article of yesterday after
noon reciting the gloomy prospects
for baseball next summer has so
alarmed me that desire to join you
in an appeal to the business men to
come up with the necessary funds
to guarantee to Winchester a place
in the league and a first-class team.
| believe | can fairly claim to be
more Of a worker than dead game
SPORT" and as such, | unhesitating-
! ly say from experience that there is
no Summer vacation" which will
furnish as much pleasure and gen.
uine recreation as a daily attendance
upon the baseball games during the
summer months. A trip to the sea-
shore or the springs will ordinarily
cost more than the price of the stock
each is asked to buy and the tick
cts to the games. This much money
ought to be laid aside for the pur-
pose and cheerfully spent. not as a
waste but as a valuable investment
in that rebuilding of the nerve and
mental forces which every one must
have who accompishes anything.
"All work and no play makes Jack a
dull boy" is a saying that applies to
us grown-ups engaged with the man
fold cares, duties and labors of real
life as aptly as to school children.
Baseball furnishes this needed play
right here at home. 1t is Clean
wholesome and healthful and is so
intensely interesting that it takes the
mind off of business as nothing else
can do. And the busy, tired house
wives, if they but think so and will
try it, will get just as much pleasure
and benefit from it as their hus-
bands.
This is only one view of the bene-
fits of having a baseball team. II
pays in many ways, notably in the
arousing of patriotic city pride at
home and the advertisement abroad
| L spent last week in Richmond
Though it was In the dead of winter
| found the baseball interest and en-
thusiasm at whitehead, with the
most prominent business and profess
sional men as the leaders. Paris and
Mt. Sterling are trying to get into
our league. 1t would be a shame fol
Winchester, which ALWAYS does the
right thing and never does it by hal
YES, to fall back in the rank of the
"has- beens," just for the want of a
little money and enterprise. 1t ought
not to be so, but it will be unless the
business men do their part by sub
scribing for enough stock to make
success possible. l am not on the In
side but / understand that arrange
ments are on foot for securing the
entire Russellville team which was
considered one Of the best In the
State last year outside of Louisville
1t will cost so much that it will re-
quire about $4,000 In addition to Che
gate receipts. OF this, $1,000 has
been raised. Let us all pull together
for the necessary balance. DOM
