sHER1Fr's SILVER WEDDING.
Sheriff Stahl and Wife Married in Ra-
cine twenty-five Years Ago Today.

Sheriff Stah1 and Wife Married in Ra-
cine Twenty-Five Years Ago Today.
There was the echo of wedding bells
up at the county Jail today as it was
just twenty-five years ago this morning
that Sheriff Andrew f. Stahl and Miss
Name Kline went up to st. Rose
Church in Racine to be married. The
ceremony was performed by the Rev.
Father Traundt, pastor of the church.
There was no formal celebration of the
silver wedding today. The sheriff de-
clared that press of official business was
so great that he did not have time for
a second wedding service and Mrs.
Stahl declare mat she thought the
one of twenty-five years ago was suf-
ficient. The } the jail en the
twenty fifth anniversary was reflected
in many ways. There were flowers
everywhere and even the prisoners
back in the cells will have occasion to
mel. the dat IL .. feast was served
for them. Mr.. and Mrs. Stahl have
spent nearly all of their married life
in Kenosha. They were kept busy to-
day receiving the congratulations of
their friends.

PLAN SUMMER SCHOOL.
Prof. Hugh Murphy to Have Charge Of
Summer School for Backward Pupils.

The third annual summer school for
the children of the grammar schools
will open at the Frank school Tuesday,
July and continue for six weeks, clos
ing Friday, Aug Is. There will be but
one session daily from a. m. to II p.
m.
The summer school, as in former
years, is to benefit, chiefly, three classes
of children, first, those who fail in one
or more subjects and are unable to go
on with their classes; second, those who
wish to gain strength in certain sub
iects to make their work clearer the
coming year, and third, for those who
wish to make an additional half grade.
In order to keep up the high stand
ard Of the work done in the summer
school, only those children will be adj
mitted who have been recommended by
the principals of the respective schools.
This precaution safeguards the parents,
too, for there are some children who
fail so completely that six weeks at
summer school could not possibly bring
their children up to grade.
That the summer school has filed a
need in Kenosha is demonstrated by
the fact that in the two years of it's
existence one hundred and ten children
have taken advantage of it and of that
number fifty have been helped to keep
up with their classes, thirty have made
an additional half grade and ten have
been helped to clear up difficult points
in the elementary branches.
If enough children are interested,
classes will be organized in manual
training, domestic science and arts
and crafts.
The teachers for the school are: 3rd
and 4th grades, Miss Lulu Lampe; 9TH
and 9th grades, Miss Matilda Hanson;
18th and 8th grades, Fl. B. Murphy.

tarium at an Early Hour.
LONG DEAN OF RACINE LAWYERS
(From Saturdays Daily

Judge e. O. Hand, dean Of the bar
of Racine county and widely known
in this county and throughout Wiscon-
sin, died at the Pennoyer Sanitarium
just after one clock this morning at
the age of eighty four years. Death
resulted from paralysis with which
Judge Hand had been stricken on
Thursday. Attorney r. B. Hand Of
Racine, the one surviving son, was at
his father s bedside when the end came
The remains were taken to the Hand
home in Racine this morning and the
funeral will probably be held on Mon
day afternoon, but definite announce
ment Of the day and hour has not as
yet been made.
The death Of Judge Hand marks the
passing of a man who had given much
to the bench and bar of Wisconsin and
who had been prominent and active for
years in the political life of the state
Gilbert Osborne Hand was son Of
the late John s.. Hand. He was born
in New Lebanon, New York, Novem-
Der %, 1880. At the age of nineteen
he caught the gold fever and became a
+" forty niner.o He drove an OK team
across the plains and settled in Hang
town, California, where for two years
he worked as miner. He was sue
cessful and in 1853 he returned east by
the Panama route. Later he came to
Wisconsin and entered the University
of Wisconsin and he was graduated
with high honors as a member of the
class of 1859. He completed his legal
education at the Albany Law School in
Albany, New York. In the same year
of his graduation from the law school
he was married to Miss Margaret S.

He came to Racine in 1851 and began
the practice of law. Tn 1868 he was
appointed county Judge of Racine

LAwYER GUARDS INrEREsrs

Playing base ball with court writs Is
the latest thing in Kenosha. On Fri
day the members of the Kenosha Lake
Shore League base ball team secured
the services Of Attorney James E.
Tully and formal notice has been
served on the league officials demand
ing that they carry out their original
agreement with the Kenosha club man
ayers. At a recent meeting in Mil
waukee an effort was made to increase
the amount of the deposit of the var
ious teams and the Kenosha manager
refused to "kick in" an additional
hundred dollars into the pot. The league
leaders have shown willingness
to be "nasty" about the matter and in
order to safeguard the interests of the
Kenosha team the attorney has served
a demand that the league live up to its
original agreement. It looks as if the
Kenosha team will have to go to court
to get its rights, but the team is ready
for just such proceeding.

PROF. KIEKHOEFER SPEAKS
Superintendent of Schools Mary D..
Bradford Presents Diplomas to the
Largest Glass in City's History
Many Departments Represented.

The fifty annual commencement
exercises of the Kenosha high school
were held at the Coliseum Friday even
ing and crowd of people which tax
ed the capacity of the big hall, gath
cred for the final exercises of the
school year. 1t was an interesting
event as the largest class in the his
tory of the schools-a class Of sixty
nine-zreceived diplomas and certificates
from the superintendent. It was
neither a dress parade nor flower
show, but simply an expression of the
successful termination of another year
of school history. None of the mem
bers of the class appeared on the pro-
gram for the evening, the commence
ment address being delivered by Prof.
William Kiekhoefer of the University
OF Wisconsin, who spoke on the sub
ject, "The Springs of Happiness. I"
Musical numbers at the commencement
were furnished by the High School
Orchestra, the Mixed Chorus, Mrs.
Peter Fisher, Jr., and the Boys Chorus.
George Ell. Tremper, principal of the
high school, presided.
Most interesting in connection with
the commencement was the short adj
dress delivered by the superintendent
in presentation of the diplomas to the
members of the class. Mrs. Bradford
spoke at some length on the work Of
the schools and the new order Of things
in Kenosha. She said that since the
schools graduated their first class fifty
five years ago total of 760 students
had been granted diplomas of which
number 240 were men and $50 women
She spoke of the advance that had been
made in perfecting the course Of study
of the Kenosha schools in order to
meet the demands Of the cosmopolitan
population of the city and she spoke
especially of the development Of the
commercial work in the high school.
Featured at the commencement was
the fact that twenty-one students re-
ceived certificates of graduation from
the one year commercial course. This
course was developed during the year
just closed with view of meeting es-
pecially the demands of the boys and
girls who found it impossible to give
longer time to work in the high
school department
After the commencement exercises
were over there was an informal re-
ception for the members of the class
and they received the congratulations
Of their friends and relatives. The
class of 915 has been noted as one of
the best classes ever in the high school
and the members Of the class have won
many honors for the school. The
list of class members receiving diplo-
mas follows:

DIVORCE FOR MRS MCCULLOUGH.
Mrs. Clara Mccullough Divorced from
Husband on Abandment Charge.

day afternoon Judge Randall handed
down decree Of divorce in the suit
brought by Mrs. Clara Mccullough
against John j. Mccullough. The cou-
pie were married in Chicago in 1908
and the wife charged her husband with
desertion, alleging that he had not
contributed to her support or the sup
port of their one child for more than
two years. Mr.. Mccullough was de-
clared to be in Kenosha, but he did
not appear in court nor was he repre-
sented by an attorney. Under the
order of the court Mccullough must
pay four dollars weekly for the sup
port Of his little daughter, fifty dol
lars for attorneys fees, and the court
costs.

MOTHER IS ALSO CARED FOR
Boy Had Both Legs Cut OFF in Racine
When Run Down by a Train on Oc-
tober 10th Last-Attorneys Come to
Kenosha to Settle Up Claim Today.

James Nelson, nineteen year old
Kenosha boy, residing with his mother
at 612 Congress street, will receive a
modest fortune from the Chicago and
North Western Railway Company in
compensation for injuries which he re-
ceived when he was run down by a
train on the tracks of the Chicago and
North Western Railway Company at
Racine on the night of October 10th
of last year.
Attorney William Tibbs Of Milwau-
kee, who has represented the boy in
che case, appeared in the county court
this morning and asked that guar
dian be named for him in order that a
settlement Of his claim against the
railway company might be made.
Young Nelson when he attains his ma
jority will receive from the company
the sum Of $1,000. Between the date
Of the settlement and the payment to
the young man all expenses Of his care
will be paid by the railway company
and the mother Of the boy will be
compensated in a more modest sum for
what she might have lost from his
earnings in connection with the acct
dent. The settlement with young
Nelson and his mother is net and in
addition to the amount paid to them
the railway company has paid the at
torneys who handled the case. It is
said that the total amount of the set
Element Of the case to be paid by the
railway company will be considerable
in excess Of eleven thousand dollars.
Young Nelson was formerly employ
ed as driver by the Wisconsin Gas
and Electric Company here and he had
gone to work for the company in Ra-
cine just a month before he met with
terrible injuries. On the night Of
October 10th just after seven o'clock
the boy was struck by train near the
Fourteenth street crossing in Racine
Two hours later he was found along
the tracks nearly dead from loss Of
blood Both Of his legs had been crush
ed. The right leg was amputated at
the knee and portion of the left
foot was taken off. Young Nelson was
in the hospital in Racine for many
months before he recovered sufficiently
to be brought to his home in Kenosha.
It was declared in the action brought
against the company that the accident
had left him helpless cripple. The
suit against the company demanded
damages to the amount of $25,000
The attorneys for the company held
that the question Of the liability of
the company was not fully established
by the evidence that had been found in
the case, but at that the company
sought a settlement and when liberal
offer was made it was accepted by the
attorney representing young Nelson.
It is declared that there was no eye
witness 10 the accident. Yonro Nell
son in his affidavit in connection with
the s-i+. c1a;r1aa +ho+ 10 sought TO
cross the street and that he was struck
by the train and dragged to the mid
die of the block.
Nelson plans to educate himself and
will seek to make it possible for him
to live on the income of the amount
paid to him by the company.

Referee in Bankruptcy After
All Day Hearing Allows
Racine Banks Claim.
BALANCES AND 0vERORAFTs

Creditors of the United Refrigerator
Company got bad bump in Racine
late Thursday afternoon when after an
all day hearing the referee in bank
ruptcy decided to admit the claims of
the Commercial and Savings Bank of
Racine, totaling more than $283,000,
and the bank will share with the other
creditors the meagre assets of the
bankrupt. Trustee Rowland strongly
contended that the bank had no valid
claims and it was asserted that the
claims had been settled by the turning
over Of collectable accounts. Evidence
showed that the notes for which the
collectable claims had been given as
collateral were not covered by the
claims made against the bankrupt by
the bank officials.
w. Fl. Doty Of Kenosha, bookkeeper
for the bankrupt firm, was on the
stand the greater part of the day, and
through him an attempt was made to
show the various transactions which
involved loans, and which the records
indicate were the largest single factor
in causing the bank to suspend.
That the system Of bookkeeping
by the bank at times showed large
discrepancy between the amounts to
the credit of the Refrigerator com
pany was one Of the features Of the
examination
Mr.. Doty testified that on Septem-
Der 80, 1914 the books of the bank
showed credit of $544.55 for the Re
frigerator company while the books
of the Refrigerator company indicated
that all it had was an overdfaft on
the same day of $183,544.
The explanations Of the various dis
crepancies were vague and the attor-
neys representing the bank and the
trustee for the Kenosha company fire.
quently FLASHED as to the correctness
Of statements by the witness. He was
not very positive at times, being com
PEELED to ask help from one Of his
assistants in regard to transactions
which he had not personally handled.
Mr.. Doty admitted that he was not
fully conversant with all the loans.
Peter B. Nelson at times made the
loans and did not keep his bookkeeper
advised Of their character.
John B. Simmons, of Simmons and
Walker, attorneys for the banking
commissioner, entered an objection to
statements made from the books of
the Refrigerator company saying they
merely showed how the books were
kept.
G. G. Cuttings, attorney for the trus
tee of the Refrigerator company, re-
torted that while that might be so, the
books Of the Commercial and Saw
ings Bank were no criterion of how
the bank was conducted.
A statement from the Commercial
and Savings Bank on July 81, 1913,
showed that the Refrigerator company
had a balance of $40,45S.80. The
books Of the company showed on that
date it was overdrawn $4S,362.42.
Of all the testimony taken, the at
torney for the trustee of the Refrigera-
tor company had failed to prove his
contention that the Commercial and
Savings Bank claim is not valid
Employees of that company while
testifying do not deny that large
sums were borrowed from the bank,
and not from Charles r. Carpenter,
as an individual.
