NEW YEAR'SDAY
Not Very Lively One in Wausau- Very Quiet
During the Day

The new year was ushered in OF
Friday morning, but so quietly thai
those who were sleeping were moi
disturbed. Church bells were rung
and there was footing Of factory
whistles for awhile. True, there
were many at parties, at churches
and hotels, where the old year was
watched out and the new year in
and it was not necessary to make
lots of noise to let them know that
the new year had come.
The day was dark and entirely de-
void of sunshine. A part of the time
snow fell and with the high wind
which prevailed, it made it very blnst-
ering. There wasn't enough snow
for sleighing, otherwise there would
have been some life upon our streets.
"Wish you Happy New Year," was
the greeting heard on every hand.
The following were few events
which made the occasion a very en-
joyable one:
AT THE Y. NJ. G. A.
The Y. M. @. A. New Years pro-
gram was very interesting and there
were great many visitors at the Y
on that day. The department Of
physical training perhaps proved the
biggest attraction. Physical Director
Starke had planned number of exer-
cises. The Jr. A boys opened the
program by dancing. Next the Jr. B
boys did some squad apparatus work
and did the same very neatly. Then
came the high horse and spring board
work by the Senior Employed boys
and directly following them the Jun
ior Employed boys went through a
dumb bell drill. There were several
other hunters on the program in the
afternoon. In the evening there was
a basket ball game between the home
alumni high school boys and college
alumni. The home alumni lined up
with Bill Lampert at center, Joe Pope
and Herbert Christian, forwards, and
Carl Eaatscn and Otto Eggebrecht,
the guards. The college alumni lined
up with Carl Eggebrecht at center,
Sam Wells and Wells Turner, for
wards, and Carl Schmidt and George
Ruder, the guards. Directly follow
the basket ball game there was an
indoor base ball game between the
N. Y. X. and All-Stars. The batter
les were: Acknowledgment and
Vehlow and N. Y. X.--James and
Piper. The final score was Is to 9 in
favor of the All-Stars.
The boys department of the r had
a Hobby Show in the several rooms
on the second floor. The exhibitions
were of paintings and cartoons of
some electrical apparatus, of some of
those things made by the boys in
manual training and of stamp collec-
tions. AS a whole the New Years
day open house was a success.
WAUsAU CLUB NEW YEARS EVE.
The Wausau Club was the scene of
one of the prettiest functions OF the
season on New Years eve, when
about fifty-five couples gathered for
the fourteenth annual formal party.
The guests assembled from eight to
nine O'Clock in the club parlors,
which where tastefully decorated with
the seasons green's, holly and mistle-
toe. Cones orchestra stationed on

ton. Shortly after nine the guests
adjourned to the ball room on the
third floor. Here the decorations
were of holly, festooned about the
walls and chandeliers. The orchestra
was screened by banks of green and

MONEY AND FRIENDS
GONE, TAKES GAS
Samuel Pinkus, Once East Side
Leader, Ends Life.

His fortune and most of his friends
of better days gone, Samuel Pinkus,
an oldtime East Side politician. and
once well known where the ponies ran,
killed himself in his home. 636 East
Ninth Street, last night by inhaling
gas. He was sixty-four years old.
Pinkus, in the days when the late
City Chamberlain Patrick Keenan, was
in the heydey Of his power, was one Of
the most important of the stars OF
lesser magnitude il East Side politics.
His strength with the Jewish voters
made him invaluable to keenan, and
Keenan, took good care of him.
He was also interested in the racing
game and high in the confidence Of the
late John DAILY and Dave Gideon when
they were making turf history. 1t was
he who was rsyponsible for DAILY and
Gideon naming a horse keenan, that
proved 10 be one of the most unreliable
brutes that ever faced starter. when
Dalv died and Gideon soon after quit
racing Pinkus was rated as the pos
SCISSOR Of more than 100000 in money
and securities.
He began TO lose ground soon after
this. and after most of his fortune had
gone the way it came, he went into
business. This of late had proved un-
profitable. To make matters worse his
health grew bad. .,
Last night when his body was found
friends said he was practically penni-
less.
"A good fellow and good friend un-
lucky enough to outlve the friends
who could be useful to him." was the
verdict

GERMANS CALM AT NEWS;
HINT AT BRITISH MINE

Berlin, Sept. s (via London, Sept.
7, 2:05 a. m) The news that the
Hesperian had been destroyed by
an explosion" was published only
this afternoon. Definite statements
that no lives had been lost and that
the steamer had hOatcd until this
morning caused the German people
TO take the situation calmly, and
there are no indications OF appre-
hension over any possible effect the
incident may have on German-Amer-
lean relations.
The newspapers abstain from COM
ment, aside from advising their
readers. in the terms of a semi-offi-
cial announcement, to await more
details, but in the headlines they
indicate strong doubt as to the ac-
curacy of the press accounts, par
ticularly as to whether the steamer
was torpedoed. "Torpedoed" Is
printed with a question mark, and
one or two papers use in their head
lines, German torpedo or British
mines?"
No report on the Hesperian from
German official sources need be ex-
pected for at least a week, as the
submarines off that particular part
of the British coast were only re-
Gently sent out.
The Admiralty had nothing to say
to-day when asked whether any re-
mort had been received on the
Arabic.
