LONG ARESIDENT OF KENOsHA
Former Piano Maker and Dealer in Mu-
steal Instruments Died Suddenly Just
Before Noon Today After an Illness
Of Only Few Minutes.
From Wednesdays Dailyl

Anton S. Wulff, one Of the pioneers
of Kenosha and man actively con-
nected with the piano and musical in
strument business in Kenosha for near
lily half a century died very suddenly
at his residence 157 Ashland avenue
just after eleven o CLOCK today. Death
came as result of heart disease from
which the deceased had been a sufferer
for more than two years. This morn
ing Mr.. Wulff had shown no signs of
collapse and until few minutes before
death came he had been busily engaged
aiding men who had been putting in
a supply of coal at the Wulf home.
He came into the house and complained
of suffering from acute pains in his
side and Mrs. Wulff put a poultice on
his side and back and while she was
adjusting the poultices he fell over
dead. DR.. William Pugh was hurriedly
called to the house, but he announced
that nothing could be done. The body
was removed to the Hansen undertak-
ing parlors.
The death of A. Wulff marks the
passing of one of the most unique
characters in Kenosha. He had been
identified with the business interests of
the city for many years. He was a
native Of Germany where he was born
May IL, 1849. He was the son of a
Ge4uaan banker Ind after he had COM
L al, II - A
lea when he was eighteen years old and
shortly after that time he came to Ke-
nosha. He was musician of consid-
cradle ability and had a great appre-
citation of the best things in music.
Many years ago he organized the
Domestic Piano and Organ company in
Kenosha and for years he was engaged
in the manufacture Of organs and pi-
amos in the city at the corner of Wis
consin and Church streets. The old
Wulff organ factory is one Of the land
marks that has stood out against the
westward movement of business houses
in Kenosha. He gave up the manufac-
turing business many years ago but for
years he was retail dealer in pianoes
and organs and other musical instru-
ments. In recent years he had been
engaged in the real estate business and
he had considerable real estate holdings
in the city.
Mr.. Wulf was a man of strong likes
and dislikes and the closing years of
his life had been clouded by differences
with neighbors. He is survived by his
widow, Mrs. Mary E. Wulff, who has
been a teacher Of music for many years
and one daughter, Miss Virginia j.
Wulff, teacher.
No arrangements have been an.
nounced for the funeral but in keeping
with the expressed wish of Mr.. Wulff
the body will be cremated.
Mr.. Wulff was one of the oldest mem.
bers of Garfield Lodge Free and Ac.
cepted Masons in Chicago and although
living in Kenosha he had retained &C
tive membership in the lodge fer many
years.

Manual Training Depart
ment of West Side School
Was Looted Early Today
POLICE SEEK BOY SUSPECTS
(From Wednesdays Daily

The Balm school was burglsrized
some time on Tuesday night when
thieves broke into the building
through one Of the cellar windows and
breaking open the doors to the manual
training department. managed to get
away with tools and building ma
terial to the value Of twenty dollars.
The case was reported to the police of
flee by Principal Murphy early this
morning, but the thieves left no clew
to their Identity. This is the second
time that the Balm school has been en-
tered. Several years ago the rooms in
the school were robbed and consid-
cradle sum of moneny collected by the
children for charitable purpose was
taken. The people who were connect
ed with the crime reported this morn
ing were evidently well acquainted
with conditions in the building and in
the manual training department. They
had carefully gone through the tools
in the room and had selected from the
boxes the most valuable TOOLS All of
the tools were the property of the
school. 1t is thought possible that the
robbery was the work of boys residing
in the neighborhood of the Balm school
and several of these boys are under
surveillance by the police. These boys
have been seen about the school on
several occasions and it is said that a
number of them were about the build
ing late Thursday evening. 1t is a
difficult matter to safeguard this build
ing against burglars as the building is
isolated and it is seldom that any one
is in the building after nightfall. If
the burglars are caught they will be
punished to the full exte It of the law

GIRL TURNS DOWN HIS SUIT
Man is Alleged to Have Threatened
Girl and Rival With Death and Re-
volver is Found Concealed Under
Shed Near Home of Young Woman.

Romance and gun play were featured
in the story of Stephan Cvikie, who
was arrested late Tuesday evening by
Police Officer William Bienemann
charged with threatening to kill Char
ley Rose and Miss AMIGA Paravina.
The alleged threats were made at
house on Pine street late Sunday even
ing but it was not until last night that
Cvikic was located and put under ar
rest by the police When he was
searched the officers found marriage
license in his pocket and it was pre-
Urinary to his marriage to the young
woman whom he is charged with hav-
ing threatened. The license had been
issued on September 10th and the ac-
cused man, with tears in his eyes, de-
clared nls love for the Young woman,
but he insisted that her affections were
being transferred to another. The
young woman was by no means nom
commital and she informed the officers
that she desired to have no part in
the marriage contract.
1t seems that the romance of the
two had been going along rapidly un.
til Rose entered the race for the af-
fections of the young woman and after
the license for the marriage had been
issued the young woman showed favor
to Rose. Rose made the complaint to
the police ON which Cvikic was arrested
and he declared to the officials that
the man had fred shot at the young
woman on Sunday night After he had
been taken to the police station Cvikic
was vigorous in his denial of the
charge that he had threatened to kill.
He asserted that he never had a re-
volver but several of the police Of
ficers went out Tuesday night and af-
ter a long search they found a revolt
yer under a shed near the place where
the alleged shooting took place.
1t was admitted by Rose and the
friends of the young woman that the
shot had been fired into the ground
and that neither Rose nor the young
woman had been in any danger of in
jury, but it was feared that Cvikic
might make a second attempt which
would not be so harmless. The young
woman, a pretty Polish girl, seemed
to be DESTROYS of keeping away from
the court action in the case, but she
told the police that she had no desire
to marry Cvikic. She declined TO
state whether or not he had secured
the license with her consen
In the meantime the police have the
custody Of the revolver and the license
and when little further facts have
been secured in regard to the case
Cvikic viii be taken into the mu1ici
pal court for hearing.
All Of the parties to the trouble are
pretty well known among the Polish
people Of the city and the case has at
tacted considerable atten IN
The police are determined to shift
the case to the bottom and Cvikic viii
be held until the facts are brought out.
Rose, the third man in the ease, is en-
ployed at the Pennoyer Sanitarium as
a driver.

GORDON CASE INTERESTING
Judge Winslow Holds That the Case is
of Great Importance to Brewery In
terests and Accepts Voluntary Brief
Filed by Chicago Attorney.
(F1om Wednesday s Daily

A development unusual in court pro-
ceedings in Wisconsin has been made
public in connection with the hearing
before the supreme court of the argu-
ments in the appeal of the case of
James w. Rose VS.. H. r. Gordon and
Attorney Calvin Stewart, attorney for
the defendant in this case, has receiv-
ed letter from Chief Justice Winslow
of the Wisconsin Supreme Court, stat
ing that after the adjournment of the
court at which the argument in the
case was presented a Chicago attorney,
representing large brewery interests,
ask leave of the court to file brief
in the case as amicus curiae (friend of
the COURT. In his letter, taking up the
unusual action Of the Chicago attor-
ney, Justice Winslow says:
"The question as to the validity of
that contract is important undoubtedly
to many brewing concerns and it seem
ed to me that the court should receive
such brief.
The brief made by the Chicago at
torney is signed by Miller, Mack and
Fairchild, leading attorneys in Milwau-
kee and copy of it has been served
on Attorney Stewart. The brewing in
terests are taking this great interest in
the Kenosha county case on account
of the fact that the decision of it will
be far reaching in the brewery bust
ness. The Rose-Gordon case has call
ed into question the so-called cheer
lease. This lease is form of lease
by which a saloon man rents a build
ing with the understanding that he is
to use only the beer furnished to him
by the brewery which owns the build
ing in which the saloon is to be located
and it is now declared that this is the
first time that the supreme court of the
state of Wisconsin or any of the states
in this section of the country have been
asked to decide on this important feat
ure of saloon leases. Should the court
decide that the contract is invalid the
decision will be in the nature of new
declaration of independence of thous-
ands of saloon men in this and sur
rounding states who have been fettered
in business by provisions of crafty
leases made by the clever attorneys of
the breweries. Tt has been expected
that the decision in the case would
have been handed down early next
week. but with the appearance of this
friend of the court and his notable
brief, it will probably be many weeks
before the supreme court completes
the consideration of the case.
The case was tried in the circuit
court for Kenosha county and Judge
Belden held that the clause relating to
the sale of beer was legal and must
stand. The appeal to the supreme
court was promptly taken and as soon
as the case went to the higher court
it attracted the attention of the brew
cry interests.

BUILD MISSION NEXT SPRING.
Members of st. Matthews Parish Put
OFF Erection Of Mission Until Later.

The vestry of st Matthews church
has sent out a formal statement an
nouncing the erection of the mission
on the west side of the city for which
the sum of $4,000 was recently rails
ed, will be laid over until the spring
of 1915. This action has been taken on
account of the cost of winter build
ing in Kenosha and for the further
reason that the mission activities viii
largely center about the winter season
and it would be impossible to have the
building completed in time to make it
of the greatest value until the fall of
1915. Under the plan formed by the
vestTy the work will be started with
the early spring and the mission will
be completed early in the fall of 1915.
The plan viii undoubtedly be accept
able to all of the people who have con-
tributed to the fund for the erection
of the mission.

county people have ever known.
The slogan "'Boost Kenosha is being

parade of automobiles and any of them
who seek to tag the procession will be
forever under the ban so far as the
retailers are concerned. The day is
particularly set aside to "'Boost Ke

dates a chance to boost themselves
The decision of the committee to ban
candidates for Office from the automo

der is to be rigidly adhered to-
Already nearly hundred tickets
have been sold for the trip and it is
expected that the number will be
doubled between now and next Wed
nesday morning. Demands for ticket;
have been coming in from all over the
city and many people not directly in

OPERATION TO Be CONTINUED
Men Named at Meeting Held on Tues
day VIII Advise With Other Credit
ors Before Final Action is Taken to
Decide Future of Big Kenosha Plant.

| The United Refrigerator and Ice Ma
chine Company is to continue in opera
alton as late Tuesday evening the
meeting of the creditors adjourned
without taking any formal action as
to the ultimate future of the plant, but
| 1T Was aeu4ued that the operation o.
the plant should continue as in the
past penolAo final decision on the
part of the creditors as to its future.
This final decision will be made
within he next two weeks and before
it is made every one of the individual
creditors will be given a chance to sug-
gest plans for clearing up the financial
difficulties of the company. When the
creditors met in their adjourned session
on Tuesday afternoon it was thought
possible that a definite plan of action
could be outlined before the day was
over, but there were so many matters
at issue that when the creditors adj
journed late in the afternoon they
voted to leave the matter in the hands
of the committee for two weeks in or
der that they might formulate plans
and outline policy for the continued
operation of the big plant. This com
mittee is composed of Charles Carpen-
ter, William Carpe-ter, NJ w. Walker
Of Racine; W. A. Mcfarland of Chi
cago; and John Gloeckler of Chicago
This committee was named by a vote
Of the creditors on Tuesday morning
and when they began to make their
Investigations they found that there
were so many matters to be considered
that it would be impossible to make
an early report. At the afternoon
meeting this committee was continued
ir service by the creditors, but it is
not the understanding that the com
mittee will have charge of the opera
ton of the plant.
cit is impossible for us to give out
anything at this time, said one of the
officials of the company this morning.
The committee has taken over every
thing that is of interest in connection
with the financial affairs Of the com
pany and it must decide as to the fur
ure. We feel certain, however, that the
plant will not be allowed to close as the
interests of the creditors are identical
with those of the managers Of the com
pany and it is certain that the inter
ests of all concerned can be best con-
served by the operation of the plant.
We feel that with proper arrangement
for financial backing the plant can be
operated and operated with profit and
in time that it will work itself out Of
the present difficulties. The committee
is to make its report at meeting to
be held two weeks from now and in the
meantime the interests of every creditor
will be safeguarded The larger credi-
tors have given assurance that there
will be no effor. made to shut the plant
down until some final decision is made
in the matter. The spirit shown by the
men who are heavy creditors indicate
that they feel their mutual interest in
the operation of the plant and it is pref
ty certain that at the end Of the period
Of investigation a permanent creditors
committee viii be named to have charge
of the operation of the plant under its
present management.
