JUDGE RANDALL new MASTER
Large Number of Kenosha Masons At
tend Annual Meeting of Blue Lodge
and Hear Interesting Reports of the
Work Of Organization During Year.

Masons in Kenosha found much
cause for rejoicing at the annual meet
ing at the Blue Lodge held at the Tenn
pie on Monday for at this meeting
formal announcement was made that
the bonded Indebtedness on the Tenn
pie purchased but eight years ago, had
been entirely satisfied and the directors
Of the association announced that the
old bonds, fully paid, were ready to be
destroyed by fire.
Eight years ago the Temple Associa-
ton was formed and the old Allen home
at the corner Of South and Chicago
streets taken over. Stock in the asso-
citation was subscribed by the members
Of the lodge and in order to provide
for improvements on the building cost
ing more than the original investment,
bonds were issued. These bonds have
now been fully paid and arrangements
are being made by the various Masonic
organizations to take over the out
standing stock held by members of the
lodge. The total of this stock is only
little over $4,000 and within few
years the property will be wholly in
the hands of the three Masonic bodies
in Kenosha. A large percentage Of the
stock is now held by these bodies and
rapid retirement Of the other stock is
expected. Some of the older members
Of the lodge will undoubtedly decline
to turn over the stock as they desire
to hold it as an evidence of their inter
est in the building Of the first temple.
), With the present home nearly out Of
debt the Masons are already laying
plans which will lead to the construc-
ton of new and greater temple and
it is certain that with the rapid growth

Kenosha Loses Friend at
Court in Death of North
Western Official Sunday.
CAME UP FROM A WATER BOY

Kenosha lost 'Efriend at court
early on Sunday morning when W. D.
Cantillon, fifty-six years old, former
general superintendent Of the Chicago
and North Western Railway system,
died at his home in Chicago.
Cantillon had been in official posi-
tions with the North Western road for
many years and for the past twenty
years he had been actively associated
with the management Of the Milwau-
kee division, Cantillon was friendly
to Kenosha and saw In this city one of
the biggest business centers for his
company. 1t was largely through his
influence that Kenosha was able to get
favors from the company which had
been denied to other cities. He aided
in making the plans for track elevation
in Kenosha and in fact that was one
Of the last projects that he had con-
sidered as an official of the company.
He had been i'll since last April
He began his career in GAINESVILLE as
a water boy for his father, who was
stone mason for the Chicago and North
Western, and worked his way up to
brakeman, freight and passenger con-
ductor, trainmaster and assistant sup
erintendent, and was general manager
of the road, with headquarters at
Chicago until he retired on account of
i'll health
He leaves a widow and two children;
a sister, Mrs. E. j. Archambault, Mil
waukee; Thomas, conductor on the
Chicago and North Western and Cas-
per Cantillon, Winona; j. p Cantillon,
superintendent OF the Chicago and
North Western, Eagle Grove, Ia, and
Mike and Joe CantilIon Of Minneapolis,
we'll known in baseball circles, brothers.
Death overlook Mr.. Cantillon after
a long illness. Affection of the heart
was the direct cause. He was horn
in GAINESVILLE, Wis, on August ], 1858,
and lived there until he was stationed
at Milwaukee. He left Wisconsin in
1889 to become superintendent of the
| Winona & St. Peter division, with head
| quarters at Winona. He resigned as fire
and police commissioner at that time. A
short time later he was transferred to
! Chicago and made assistant general
uperintendent, then general superin-
| tendent and then assistant general
manager and finally general manager.
During his entire railroad career Mr..
Cantillon was known for the regard
employees under him showed. He was
liked by all and his rules were seldom
disobeyed.
Mr.. Cantillon narrowly missed cast
ing his lot with his brothers, Michael
and Joseph, and becoming a profession
| al ball player. just before getting his
first railroad job he went to Omaha and
for a year pitched with fast semi
professional team. At the end of the
year it is said, he was offered con
tracts by several clubs. His interest
in railroading was too deep, however,
and he returned to Chicago and at
eighteen got his first job as brakeman.

FIND NO JUDGMENTS.
Discovery of Clerk May Affect Matri-
monial Status of Number of Persons.

An investigation of the records in
divorces secured during the period from
1909 to 1911 which has just been com
pleted at the clerk Of the circuit
court Is office, reveals the startling fact
that in more than twenty instances
where the so-called introductory de
cree Of divorce was granted, final di-
vorce judgments were not filed at the
expiration of one year as was required
by the law passed by the legislature in
1909. The result of this investigation
affects the matrimonial state of those
persons who were married following
such interlocutory DEGREES for the
state supreme court in a recent decision
held that all such marriages where the
final judgment had not been entered,
were void Clerk of the Court B. f.
DeDeimar has prepared lists of the
cases in which there are no final judg
ments and has notified the attorneys so
that judgments may be entered at once,
thus completing the divorce proceed
ings and complying with the law. 1t is
probable that quite few persons who
secured separations under this statute
have again entered the matrimonial
state only to learn at this late date
that their marriages are illegal. Con-
sequently they must have the ceremony
performed all over again as soon as the
Judgment matter has been attended to.
In 1911 the legislature changed the
divorce statute SO that judgments are
entered as soon as the decree is grant
ed by the court. The divorce then goes
into effect automatically at the expira-
tion of the year s time.

OF the lodge this new building will be
started within few years. Prelimin-
airy plans are now being worked out and
the lien interested feel certain that
these plans will result in Kenosha hav-
ing one of the finest Masonic Temples
in the west during the coming decade.
Cold weather had no terrors for the
Masons and the attendance at the annu-
al meeting was unusually large The
report of retiring Worshipful Master
Lynn I. Hannahs, was most interesting.
1t showed that during the year just
closing there had been an addition of
twenty-eight members to the Blue
Lodge. The financial condition of the
lodge was never better than with the
closing of the present year.
At the annual election of officers the
members Of the lodge voted almost as
unit for the election of Judge Cliff
ford E. Randall to lead the order as
Worshipful Master for the coming year.
During the past year Judge Randall
has served the lodge in the capacity of
Senior Warden. His election proved
popular with the members Of the lodge
and he was called to the floor to accept
the Office. He did so in very graci-
Gus speech.
w. A. Matzke was named as Senior
Warden; Ralph Y. Cooper as Junior
Warden; Theodore Kreiman, as Secre-
tary; Charles G. Brown as Treasurer;
and Lynn 7. Hannahs, the retiring
Master, was named as trustee for the
three year term.
Following the annual meeting of the
Blue Lodge the annual meeting of the
Masonic Temple Association was held
and the officials of the association were
reelected for another year. Plans
were laid for repairs on the temple and
i is probable that it will be re.
decorated during the coming year.
A public installation of the new of
fcers Of the lodge will be held later
in the year, but the date of this formal
ceremony has not as yet been decided
upon.

'ond failed to properly protect the lives

suit in which ten thousand dollars is
demanded for the death Of the boy and
the loss Of his services to the parents,
is fully described. 1t is declared that
the child was playing in front of the
shoe shop Of the father and that he
crossed the tracks running in front of
the switch engine. The mother went
TO his rescue and she was also struck
by the engine. The complaint declares

.Nous system are of permanent nature
and that she will never recover from
the shock of the accident,
Mrs. Gallo was in the. hospital for
many weeks following the accident.
The amount of damages claimed in
the action is the largest ever claimed
as a result of railway accident in
the circuit court for the first Wisconsin
circuit. 1t is declared that no efforts
have been made to secure a settlement
OF the claims of Gallo and his wife
and that they prefer to submit their
claims to a jury rather than to seek
q settlement with the company. All
three of the big damage suits will
come up for trial at the next regular
term of the circuit court.
