IMPORTANT DECISION BY JUDGE OLSEN
NJ. W. A. Lodge Loses Out by Error Of
Local Lodge Officers.

By accepting assessments and dues
from number engaged In a pro-
hibited occupation an insurance com
pany stops itself from claiming a
forfeiture of the benefit certificate,
according to a decision by judge /.
M. Olsen in the Nicollet county dis
trict court. The decision, which is
most interesting one, was handed
down last Tuesday, and was given
in the case of Mrs. Rosa Carlson VS..
the Modern Woodmen OF America.
In it the plaintiff is given judgment
for the full amount of her claim of
81, 900, with interest at 6 per cent
per annum from January /. 1908.
The St. Peter Herald gives his
tory of the case as follows: An in
teresting point of law was involved
in the case. 1t will be remembered
that on August 10, 1907. Swan j.
Carlson and Peter Almquist lost
their lives by drowning, their boat
capsizing at Lake Emily. Sven J.
Johnson, a third member Of the par
ty, was rescued when practically
overcome by fatigue and exposure.
Mr.. Carlson and Mr.. Almquist both
carried insurance in the Modern
Woodmen of America, and that of
the latter was paid promptly. When
the Carlson claim was presented.
however, the officers of the head
camp ruled that, inasmuch as Mr..
Carlson was engaged in the saloon
business at the time of his death,
the company was not liable for the
face of the policy.
Suit was brought by Mrs. Carlson
to recover the sum of $1,000. and in
the complaint the plaintiff alleged
that on December %. 1901. the de-
PENDANT company issued a benefit
certificate to Swan ]. Carlson, pay
able to Stava Johnson, his mother,
and Carl E. Johnson, his father. On
April 6, 1906, he surrendered this
policy. and another was issued was
made payable to Rosa Carlson. 1t
was shown that the deceased paid
all the assessments and dues levied
by the lodge up to the time Of his
death. but the insurance company
set forth that, as Mr.. Carlson had
engaged in the saloon business, he
had violated the terms Of his con-
tract and the death claim could not
be allowed.
Evidence was introduced to show
that officers and various members
of the local camp had knowledge Of
the fact that he was engaged in a
prohibited occupation, and the plain
tiff s attorney, Geo. T. Olsen argued
that, by the failure Of the local
camp to suspend him as provided in
the bylaws, the company waived its
right to contest the claim.
! After several postponements the
case was argued in chambers before

mary elections is one Of the issues

DEMOCRACY AND COUNTY OPTION.


Mr.. Gray. the Democratic candi-
date for governor. sounded his key
note last week at Fergus Falls, his
most important declaration being
an explanation Of his attitude on
county option. which it is proper to
give in his own words:
I'm my opinion county option does
not mean prohibition, though all
methods of restricting the liquor
traffic have a prohibitive quality.
When we say what license shall be
charged, we put a prohibition upon
the man who cannot pay that
amount. When we say in what
hours and on what days liquor may
be sold, we put partial prohibition
on the business. When we say, as
we have said in Minneapolis, that
fve-sixths of the city shall be with
out saloons. we put a partial prohi-
bition on the traffic. We call it by
its right name regulation. County
option is but another form Of regu-
lation. 1t says, in effect, that the
people of county shall have right
to vote whether they will have sa-
looms or not have saloons. Who in
this day, whatever his politics, will
deny the people that right? But. as
/ view it. this is not the liquor ques-
ton at all. 1t is question of the
rights of the people. I"
Commenting on Gray speech. the
Evening Journal points out that the
really important consideration with
reference to the Gray pronuncia-
mento is the motives lying back of
it. Zone must remember that the
Democratic State Convention de-
clared with the utmost emphasis
against county option. The plank
proposed for the platform was bur-
led under tremendous adverse ma
jority. There was no mistaking the
fact that the Democracy Of this
State occupies its traditional attitude
Of opposition toward all "sumptu-
airy legislation. If further proof
as to this were needed, it might
be derived from the fact that with
perhaps half a dozen exceptions
every Democratic candidate for the
Legislature in the State is running
on an anti-county option platform.
What is the real reason for the
decision of Mr.. Gray and his advisers
to support county option? There
can be but one answer the hope of
victory, the Selling of the one pos
sible chance to attain Office. In
short, this is the merest opportun-
ism. The Democratic party of Min
nesota is overwhelmingly against
county option on principle. The
controlling organization of the party
the so-called Kitchen cabinet is
for county option merely and solely
because that way lies the only pos
fsible path to victory

GIVES UP FREEDOM FOR WIFE
Ceremony Performed by the Rev. Per-
ry Millar and Groom Returns to a
Cell While Wife Goes to Work to
Pay His Fine,

Maurice Kreider, who is in the coun-
ty Jail serving six months sentence
after pleading guilty to the charge of
seeking to extort money from Isadore
Stern, paid part of the debt that he
owed to society late Friday afternoon
when he was united in marriage to
Mrs. Isabelle Mayer, the woman with
whom he had lived in Kenosha for
some time, but who was revealed not
to have been his wife by evidence
brought out at the hearing of the case
against him.
The wedding was the most unusual
ever seen in Kenosla. The ceremony
was performed by the Rev. Perry Mil
lar, pastor of Park Avenue church and
Judge r. H. Slosson of the county court
issued a special court order to make
the ceremony possible. The ceremony
took place in the main hall Of the jail.
Mrs Mayer had left her work just long
enough for the ceremony and when the
minister arrived Kreider was called
from his cell IN the jail and the couple
stood in the hall for a minute while
the minister read the marriage service.
HWell / must hurry back to work, -
said Mrs. Kreider when the ceremony
was over and she hurriedly gave her
husband a nuptial kiss and left the
Jail. Kreider returned to his cell and
announced to his cellmates that he had
joined the ranks of the benedicts.
Kreider was forced to decide be-
tween his wife and liberty as his faith
err came to Kenosha a short time ago
and after investigating the case he de-
elared that he would pay the fine of
the son if he would consent to give
up the woman who had been true to
him during the trial. Kreider was
facing a sentence of nearly six months
in Jail but after he talked the matter
over with Mrs. Mayer he decided to
remain true to the woman who had
been true to him and he notified the
father that he would serve out his
term in Jail and marry Mrs. Mayer.
Kreider had offered to marry Mrs.
Mayer on the day he was sentenced
but Judge Randall declined to perform
the ceremony. Mrs. Kreider at that
time admitted that she was ready to
marry Kreider notwithstanding the
fact that he had pleaded guilty to one
of the most unusual crimes in the
annals of the Kenosha courts.
Kreider has still more than four
months of his jail sentence to serve,
but it is thought that his wife will APP
peal to her friends and secure money to
pay the fine and that she and Kreider
will go to some other city to spend
their honeymoon and begin life over.

Pope of Catholic Church to
Permit Women of Churchto
Wear Decollete Gowns
CARRY SCAPULAR IN POCKET

Archbishop Sebastian G.. Messmer of
Milwaukee diocese, will within few
days issue circular letter to all priests
in the diocese in which the archbishop
will notify the women of the Catholic
church that the pope has issued a
special edict which will make it posi-
BILE for them to wear decollete gowns.
The announcement that such edict will
be issued will come as a surprise to
the members of the church.
Hitherto it has been impossible for
Catholic women who wear the scapular
to wear evening dress, for the scapular
is not designed as ARTISTIC, and would
not harmonic with the decollete gown.
The edict permits them to carry the
Iscapular in their pockets or wherever
they please"
The pope's letter follows:
"The holy father, always interested
in the affairs of his children, is desir-
GUS that Catholic women who take an
active part in social affairs be not re-
stricted in the dress proper for social
requirements by any open insignia of
their faith, and therefore dispenses
them from wearing their scapulars
where they will be conspicuous or doing
away with them altogether if they de-
sire
f'This edict, however, does not mean
that they need not be enrolled in the
order, for that obligation still holds,
but after they are once enrolled they
may put aside the scapular and in it's
place carry small medal of the Bless
ed Virgin in their pockets, or wherever
they please

HITS ROLLER TOWEL.
Committee in Fight Against
tuberculosis Declares tits
Menace to Public Health
PUBLIC LAvATORIES A DANGER

The deadly public roller towel must
go!
In the May issue of "The Crusader"
the monthly publication of the Wiseon-
sin Anti-Tuberculosis Association, a
campaign is started to abolish this
filthy type of wiping cloth in public
places. The association succeeded in
putting the public drinking cup out
of business, the ruling Of the state
board of health effective September 1
being the out-growth of the society's
agitation. The dirty public roller
towel is "another grave menace to
health and a constant affront to our
sensibilities,'' the publication declares.
"The roller towel fourishes in the
places where it should not be allowed
at all in public lavatories or hotels,
restaurants and similar places fire.
quented by a large number.
t'One of the maxims, of the anti
tuberculosis crusader is: "Wash your
hands before eating" If a towel
looks as if it had been used by multi
tude, don It use it. It is more than
likely that one eonsumptive at least
has wiped his hands and perhaps his
mouth on that towel You can better
afford to take chance that your hands
are cleaner, so far as infection is con-
cerned, before than after using dirty
public towel''
The Crusader says that reform laws
are of little use and are seldom enforc-
ed until their reasonableness is tho
roughly understood, or before they re-
ceive the endorsement of the people in
whose behalf they have been enacted.
AS in the case of the common or pub
lie drinking cup, the aim of the associa-
tion now is to show the public the
dangers of the public roller towel and
create a popular demand for its aboli-
tion. This campaign has already re-
ceived much encouragement and it is
expected that the roller towel will soon
be forced to follow the drinking cup.

Government Begins Biennial
Dredging of Kenosha Har-
Dor on Wednesday
UNIFORM DEPTH OF 20 FEET

The government dredge used for the
maintenance Of the harbors along the
lake, came to Kenosha on Wednesday
and began the work of dredging the
Kenosha harbor. This work is done
every two years and it is the plan of
the men in charge Of the dredge to
make the harbor a uniform depth of
twenty feet as they put it "eighteen
feet in the clear" There are no
dangerous shoals in the harbor at the
present time, but the survey of the
harbor made by the government in
March shows that there are a number
of formations which make it impossi-
BILE to maintain a uniform depth The
most of the work of the dredge will be
done at the mouth of the harbor where
several shoals have been formed on
account of the washing in Of sand by
the northeast storms. The engineers
with the dredge declare that it will
not be possible to prevent this filing
up of the harbor until some changes
are made in the outer breakwatec.
Plans for such changes have been pre-
sented to the war department by the
engineers in charge Of harbor work in
this district, but up to the present
time the government has made no pro-
vision for the cost of this work. The
dredge will be busy in the harbor until
the first Of June.
Thus far none of the vessels enter
ing the Kenosha harbor have had any
trouble on account of these shoals, but
it is said that the boats entering the
harbor do not draw in excess of seven
teen feet of water.
Other improvements going on about
the harbor include the rebuilding of a
portion of the Kenosha Life Saving
Station. A portion of the station has
been torn away and a new portion will
be built to make possible the housing
of new life boat which is to be sup
piled by the government within the
next few months. 1t is probable that
at the same time the government will
build a separate house to be used as
the home Of the keeper of the station.
