Masonic Lodgeat Commun-
ication Monday Night
PAY BONDS ON MASONIC HOME

Frederick NJ Cleveland was elected
Worshipful Master of Kenosha Lodge
No. AZ Free and Accepted Masons at
the annual communication of the lodge
held at the Masonic Temple on Mon
day evening. The new Master has
long been one of the most active work
ers among the craft and his election
came as a reward for excellent work
done in other chairs of the lodge. The
meeting was one of the largest gather
ings of Masons ever held in the city
and the fact that Mr.. Cleveland was
elected by an almost unanimous vote of
the great gathering made the honor
a higher one.
The full list of officers elected was
as follows:
Worshipful Master-F. M. Cleveland.
Senior Warden-Wm. Fl. Parry, Jr.
Junior Warden-Dr. G. III. Gephart
Treasurer-Charles C. Brown.
C0SAOeoly -~OAdll0S SIdIS.
Trustees. G.. Newman.
After the annual meeting of the
Blue Lodge the annual meeting of the
Masonic Temple Association was held
at which majority of the stock in
the association was represented. The
report of Secretary A. E. Buckmaster
showed that the bonded indebtedness
of the association has been reduced to
$4,000 and plans were made for the re-
tirement of the remaining bonds of the
FIRST issue and these bonds will be paid
off before the next meeting of the
association. Announcement was made
to the members of the association that
a gift of $500 had been received from
the estate of the late q. M. Calkins
and this money will be used in reduc-
ing the bonded indebtedness.
The association will make a number
of minor repairs on the temple during
the next few months but the general
re-decoration of the temple will not be
taken up until after the bonded in
debtedness has been paid off.
E. G. Theirs and Fred Hannahs were
elected to succeed themselves as di-
rectors of the temple association and
the meeting of the directors at which
the officers of the association will be
elected will be held later in the week.

SERVED A TERM IN JOLIET
Man Arrested Here for Attempting to
Burglarize the English Store Has a
Prison Record-Tells Court Interest
ing Story.

G. I. Kamph, the man arrested on
Friday morning on charge of attempt
ing to burglarize the hardware store
of John J. English, has made clean
breast of his life to Chief Of Police
0 Hare admitting late Saturday after
noon that it was he who entered the
Hoernel hardware store in Racine on
Sunday, December 5th. Kamph ad-
mitted that he robbed the store and
told Chief O'Hare that the booty
which he secured by the burglary was
taken to Chicago and sold to a man
at 1868 North Clark street. Police Of
ficer Christensen of the Racine depart
ment went to Chicago late Saturday
evening and managed to recover all
of the tools and other articles stolen
from the Hoernel store. The articles
were still in the grip and in the same
condition as when they had been de-
livered at the place by Kamph. The
man in charge of the store told Officer
Christensen that he paid twenty dol
lars for the stolen property but he
made no strenuous objection to return
ing them to the Racine official.
Kamph in telling the story Of this
burglary claimed that he went to Ra-
cine from Chicago and robbed the
Hoernel store between six and seven
o'clock and then managed to catch a
train to Chicago at Racine Junction.
AS soon as he had disposed of the swag
he returned to Kenosha apd planned
the English robbery. He declared that
he had attempted another burglary in
Racine but that he was unsuccessful.
In burst of confidence he told the
chief that he was an ex-convict admit
ting that he had served term of three
years in the state prison of Illinois
at Joliet. He was sent up under the
name of Swanson on charges of burg
larry and had been released from the
Illinois institution only eighteen
months ago.
After waving examination Kamph
told the court fanciful story Of TO-
mantle courtship with young woman
in Milwaukee whom he had hoped to
marry and of wealthy uncle who was
college professor in Sweden and who
had planned to leave him a large in
heritance provided that his conduct
was such as it should be. He closed
his statement to the court by declaring
that when he planned the burglary
in Kenosha he was suffering from a
form of insanity similar to that plead
ed in the defense of Harry Thaw in
New York.
Judge Randall sentenced Kamph to
term of three years in the state pri-
son at Waupun. The sentence came
as hard blow to the man and he fell
over in to a chair and cried like child.

FRIENDS IDENTIFY The BODY
Luitz Had Left Here on Friday Morn
ing to Meet Friends Who Were Com
ing From the Old Country and Was
Killed Near Evanston,

Samuel Luitz, residing at 226 Maple
street and employed as a. fireman at
the plant Of the N. R. Aliens Sons
Company, is supposed to have been
one of the two men who met death in
| the Northwestern wreck near Evans
ton at noon on Sunday and today there
is great mourning among his people in
Kenosha. Last night a message was
received from Chicago friends of the
family stating that the remains of one
Of the dead men had been identified
as those of the Kenosha man. Friends
Of Luitz went to Chicago today to
make an effort to make more certain
the Identification of the remains and
in the meantime the wife and two
children of the missing man are hop
ing against hope that the Chicago rela-
tives may have been mistaken in their
Identification of the dead man.
Luitz is IS years of age and he has
been a resident of Kenosha for a num-
Der Of years and was widely known
among the foreigners in the city. He
had worked at the tannery for several
years and on. Thursday he announced
to the fremen there that he was going
to Chicago on Sunday to meet rela-
tive who was coming from the old
country and that reunion of the
family would be held on Sunday af-
ternoon. This was the last heard of
him.
The wife had expected him to ar
rive home on the 12:45 train on Sunday
but she had received no word from
him on Monday and she asked friends
in Chicago to make an effort to find
him. This led to visit to the morgue
where the two victims of the wreck
had been taken and they at once iden-
titled one Of the bodies as that of the
missing Kenosha man.
Nothing has been heard of the man
who was to have been met by Luitz
in Chicago and it is thought possible
that he was the other victim of the
wreck, but relatives claim that the
other dead body taken from the wreck
does not resemble the man who had
been expected. However it is stated
that the man was an immigrant who
had just arrived from one of the
foreign countries and that the identi-
fcation of him from papers on his per-
son was very unsatisfactory one. 1t
is expected that all doubts in regard
to the Identification of the man sup
posed to be Luitz will be removed to-
day and if it is found that he is the
Kenosha man the remains will be
brought back to this city for inter
ment.

New Theory Being Advanced
Regarding Possible Sale of
Chicago&M milwaukee BY.
CLAIM BEGGs is INTERESTED

The division of the Chicago & Mil
waukee Electric into two separate
properties which will become compon-
ent parts in two new competing lines
for Chicago Milwaukee traffic and the
possible construction Of another cleo
trio railroad skirting north shore towns
from Evanston to the state line to the
north is the likely result of conflict
Of interest among the bondholders, ae-
cording to Attorney Jacob Newman.
The Wisconsin Illinois state line is the
point where the line probably will be
divided between opposing interests.
John /. Beggs, Milwaukee traction
magnate, is reported to have acquired
secretly a majority of the bonds of the
Illinois division, on which foreclosure
proceedings are now pending before
Master in Chancery Bishop.
It is his intention to make use of
the Illinois division as part of link
connecting his Mliwaukee-Kenos line
with Chicago. Besides being the con-
trolling factor in the line from Mil
waukee to Kenosha, Beggs owns the
Milwaukee city line.
Attorney w. w. Gurley, who for
months was buying up the Illinois divi-
sion bonds, was acting for Attorney
Francis Bloodgood, Jr., of Milwaukee
who in turn, Newman has learned, was
acting for Beggs.
Newman announced Saturday that
the Wisconsin bondholers, in order to
have an independent entry into Chica-
60 have taken steps to promote the
construction of an "air line'' from
the Wisconsin boundary to Ravens
wood, where connection would be made
with the Northwestern Elevated.
When A. G. Frost built the electric
road he created separate corporations
in Wisconsin and Illinois, and the bond
issues of the two divisions were under
separate mortgages.
Ownership of twenty-five miles of
double track between Lake Bluff and
the Wisconsin boundary is in dispute
between the two sets of bondholders,
and until the dispute now pending be-
fore Judge Grosscup, has been settled
the Beggs interests will be unable to
get the entire Illinois division. This
strip was built out OF proceeds of Wis
consin bonds, but the Illinois bond
holders contend the Wisconsin corpora
tion has no legal right to own proper
ty in Illinois.
F'The air line,' said Newman, "will
be built on it's own right of way along
outskirts of north shore towns. Thus
we shall not be1hampered by the bur-
densome' ordinances under which the
Illinois division now operates and by
which it is forbidden to carry freight.
By running outside towns we shall be
able to cut time between Chicago and
Milwaukee.
"Wisconsin bondholders are willing
to part with the twenty two mile strip
in Illinois, but will demand repayment
of the $1,5oo,ooO put into it.

MUST PAY HIGHEST

The Customs Court OverruleS
Charles Baird's Contention
Concerning Pictures.

Charles Baird, a wealthy art col
lector, who makes his home at the
Waldorf-Astorla when in this city and
lives at Conway Centre, y. H.. has a
controversy with the Customs au-
thorities over duties charged on
series OF Egyptian scenes which were
painted to the order of Mr.. Baird He
ordered the paintings sent here for his
private use in his country home. but
Collector Fowler ordered him to pay
90 per cent. duty.
Mr.. Baird raises the question Of the
application of the reciprocity agree
ment between the United States and
England. claims that the duty should
not be more than Is per cent and de-
clares that the Customs officers should
distinguish between cotton and sugar
and art.
Notwithstanding Mr. Bairds appeal,
the Customs Court decided against him
to-day and sustained the higher duty
fixed by the collector General APP
praiser Waite. who wrote the decision.
says the Court has found that the
agreement provides no exceptions for
paintings, but holds them the same as
other products so far as duty is con-
eerned. AS the paintings were not
made In England, reciprocity with that
country cannot apply.
