ONLY One CHANGE IN Grew
John Mahaney, Bronzed With over 80
Years in Service of Uncle Sam at the
Station Is Among First to Report
for Duty Station in Good Shape.

The flag was run up at the Coast
night last night and coming as the
first narbinger of spring, the members
of the Kenosha company of the Coast
Guard were mustered in for the new
year of service. All of the members
Of the crew were on hand for the, first
ceremonials of the new season. They
had hurried back to Kenosha after
the short vacation, at the order of
Captain Fountain and all of them were
ready for the routine work Of the sea-
son when Captain Fountain gave the
order which sent Old Glory soaring to
the top of the flag staff. The station
will be kept open until the latter part
of next December. The vacation for
the members of the crew this year
was the shortest on record. It was
just two months long.
The crew for the coming season is
just about the same as it was last sea-
son, just one change being announced
by Captain Fountain with the opening
of the season. When the flag was run
up last night the first man to report
for service was the veteran, John
Mahaney, who has been part of the
Kenosha life saving crew and the
Coast Guard ever since the first crew
was mustered in. Lieutenant Mahan-

OUT OF COURT SETTLEMENT
Company Allows Mrs. Hanson $4,000
for Loss Of Husband Who Was For
mer Kenosha Barber, and $4,000 for
sufferings and Her Personal Effects.

Mrs. Jennie L. Hanson, former resi-
dent of Kenosha and the wife of
Peter Hanson, a former Kenosha bar
Der, who lost his life when the Titanic
sunk in mid ocean on April Is, 1912,
has settled her claim against the
American Steamship and Navigation
Company of New York, and her at
torneys were notified on Tuesday that
the company would pay Mrs. Hanson
eleven thousand dollars in full settle
ment of her claims. Mrs. Hanson is
now living in Racine and she will re-
ceive the money at once. The Han
sons lived in Kenosha about six years
ago when the husband was employed
at the barber shop of A. J. Burg.
After leaving Kenosha they moved to
Racine where Hanson was in business
for himself. Two months before the
sinking of the Titanic he and his wife
had gone to Denmark to visit with his
parents. They were making the re-
turn trip when the Titanic struck the
monster ice burg and foundered in
mid-ocean. Mrs. Hanson braved many
hardships, but she was brought to
safety in one Of the life boats. The
body of her husband was never re-
covered. Mrs. Hanson was taken to
New York in one Of the rescue boats
and for many days she lowered be-

The business Of the Peter Pirsch

of piece Of land containing two and
a half acres located just north of the

On Market street eff we can Just

Peter Pirsch sized up the situation
this morning. The growth of the

Chief TO ASK REVOCATION
Head of Police Department Says He Is
Ready to Submit to the Council All
Facts in Regard to Conduct Of sa-
loon Which Was Closed Feb. 81.

Chief of Police Owen O'Hare and
olice Officers Charles Amberlang and
William Biennemann, are named as de-
endants in suit brought in the
lunicipal court on Tuesday afternoon
n which Harry Copen, the former
hurch street saloon keeper is the
laintiff. The suit asks that each of
he officers be subjected to fine of
ne hundred dollars and the costs of
he action for what is termed forci-
lie entrance into the Copen saloon on
he night of February 21st. On the
light in question the saloon was closed
nder the orders Of the chief of po-
ice and the license, under which it
al been operated, was removed from
he wall and taken to the police Office
ending some further action by the
ommon council. The entrance to the
aloon was at the time supposed to
ave been made on an execution issued
n the municipal court and the police
ook from the saloon several articles
n which to raise money to satisfy
he Judgment on which the execu-
ion had been issued.
Copen has retained Attorney r. ".
Baker to fight the case and it will
ONE up in the municipal court with
i the next few days.
+" We do not care one cent about
lis suit, = said the chief this morning.
cit can be further said that we are
not going to make a defense that the
saloon was closed on the execution. /
have held for long time that the sa-
loon conducted by Copen was an eye
sore to the community and as police
measure / went there and took the IL
cense off the wall and locked the door.
/ have already prepared full report
of this action to the common council
asking the council to sustain this ac-
tion by formal revocation of the
license. When this comes for form
al hearing before the council all of
the facts in relation to the place will
be laid before the council If they
are to be threshed out in court first
we believe that the facts we show
will be sufficient to convince any court
o, Justice that we acted entirely with
in the law when we closed the place. !"
Tn his summons against the officials
Copen declares that he was taken out
Of the place by force. This is denied
by the police officers who assert that
sley were given possession following
The demand of the chief.
It is thought that the suit in court
is brought with view of bringing
out the evidence which may be pre-
sented to the council at the time the
demand for the revocation of the Ii
cense is made. Before the place was
closed up the chief had taken the mat
ter up with members of the license
committee of the common council and
it is declared by the chief that these
members of the council were fully
aware of just what was being done
and that the action of the officials was
sanctioned by the committee. The
fact that the chief was named as
defendant in the action brought added
interest to it and the trial of the case
when it comes up will be watched
with considerable interest.

to remain in the hands of the allies and the fact that Germany has made tentative overtures toward a con- clusion of the war makes it seem as if her admiralty is satisfied that the career of conquest has been ended.
 There was a thorn that remained in the side of the TeutOns, however, and that was Britains much Vaunted superiority at sea. Was it deemed wise by the Germans that a test of strength must be made at sea to back ur the land victories before the dis- solution of the war? We on this side do not know but there is a possibility that that was the reaeson for the sea fight. It will remain for an arbiter to decide to which side went the vc- tory, but the battle may 'precede more definite peace OVertures.

The State RcfOrn1atOry

(NeW Haven Journal-Courier)
 The question of the esta ablish177ent at the state reformatory in Cheshire oe a trades school is not debatable If that institution is to do the work that is required of it, it must teach trades; that is to say, it must begin at once to employ it's inmates in somo useful form of labor which will not cn1v inculcate in the young offenders 2 love of useful labor but as well knowledge of useful labor. The re- fOrmatOry is an educational lnst1tu- tlOn 1t seeks to correct errors of IL dgnent and Willful temperaments Of the first offenders.
 Direct and lasting harm would be dCne these wards of the state if in CGrceraton ended the responsibility of the state. If the object ot the re- 1Crmatory is not to reclaim the in mates and save them from a more desperate indulgence in crime, the sooner it is dismantled as house of detention the better. Empl oyment at uSelul and productive labor IS the surest form of recIama ton, and that form Of useful and productive labor, CT those forms of useful and prOduc- i've lotpoI are best WHICH serve the end in view. The conflict which may arise between free labor and prison labor is of incidental significance only. It cannot be permitted to dominate the subject without raising questions and prom oting evils of far reaching consequence. There is an element or Justice in the complaint made by free labor that the products of prison labor are sold in the open market, but the hardships suffered are so tr1t1ing as compared with other forms of hardships, which would follow an opposite course, that the burden has to be imposed and borne.
 It is expensive business to asta blish and maintain trade schools in the re- tOrmatory, but the strain on the treasury can be eased by having the inmates work on things that the state itself can use. This offers a wide range of instruction, and would at once relieve the treasury strain. The philosophy which underlies the em- playment of tho reformatory inmates is only incidentally in agreement with the philosophy which underlies the employment of prison inmates in useful labor. The problem of the reformatory is much greater and harder to solve than the problem of the prison. There is more psvcho- logy in it and for that reason a Dsv- chologist on the board of manage- ment would be of inestimable advan- tage to the administration and the inmates,

Despite this excuse, the fact remains that many New Britain business men were indignant because the Chamber of Commerce had urged New Britain to transfer itself personally to the Capitol City on the one day of the week on which local stores depend for their best trade. Thousands of New Britain residents who might otherwise have remained at home but for the urging of the Chamber of Commerce, spent the day in Hartford and the New Britain merchant was the loser

Hidden deep in the underbrush he scratches and Scuttles about in his mysterious search for food, but at the next instant he is to be found on the very highest tip of some giant tree, gloriOusly shouting his wondrous song, in which is reflected the voice of nearly every other bird that is com- mon in his neighborhood.
 It is the brown thrasher. perhaps the best known of the thrush family in these parts and a mimic of no mean ability Although the Southern mocking bird has occasionally been seen near Omaha. reports of this sort have generally followed a particular ly complete programme rendered in the dusk by some enraptured thrash CT.

Close at Home.
(BOStOn POSt.)

The report that the bother about labor conditions in the Danish West Indies has led that government to make tentative propositions for the transfer of those islands to the United States revives a Que,N0n which has been in abeyance for half a century post. It was in 1865 that Secretary Seward advised the United States to get them; but the country was iiS;t coming out of the stress of the Civil war. and nothing was done.
 The matter was allowed to lapse until, in 1902, Secretary Hay fixed up with the Danish minister at Wash ington a very reasona ble bargain, This would have been concluded the United States senate approved it and so did the lower house of the Danish parliament-but it failed bv a tie vote of the upper house over there.

 The brown thrasher, in his hunt for grubs and insects among the under- brush, can be heard thrashing about for some distance, and yet it is often very hard to flush hin-to catch a glimpse of his rich, auburn back, his mottled breast and his long, grace ful tail Yet, strange to say, when the nest is once built in some bush, not far from ground, the father or mother bird will stay thereupon until one can almost touch their feathers.

TIME FOR PEACE?

Where is the peace talk of last week? It has been plotted from the front pages of newspaperdom and the thoughts of the people by the flood of printers ink setting forth the de- tails of the naval battle recently showed into the remote background by journalists in a vain attempt to present to the people an idea of the vast sea fight which took place.
 The result of the battle is hard to decide. Both the Germans and English maintain that their ships won victory. It would be inn possible to find any convincing argu- ment to prove otherwise to either faction. Doubtless both countries are in a position to give the true state of affairs if it were their wish to take an impartial view of the matter. Undoubtedly neither will, though one CT the other might give a true state Eent as to the losses sustained. The CTuA or the matter lies III the Qu6S- ton, What were the fleets which met off Holland trying to accomplish end which fleet had it's purpose de- feated?"

 Being deprived of the knowledge as to the intentions of the admiralty ir the cases in question the best that We Americans can do is call it a draw and await news of a further battle.
 Conjecture is all that we have in making our speculations and that is liable to be highly tinctured by a Pro- in our midst. However, coupling with the news of the battle the recent talk of peace opens Up an interesting line Of surmise
 Press despatches from Germany have stated that that country is in a receptive attitude regarding peace uvertures. The Teutonic allies feel that their position is such at present that they will be able to conclude terms highly favorable. Many square miles of their opponents ter ritory are in the possession of the Germans Concessions must be made by the Entente to re-establish the Kingdom of Belgium and to restore to France it's conquered fields. There could be no better time for bringing about peace than the present for the Nermans unless the drive at Verdun IS successful and more territory is opened up to the Teutons by the cap ture or the fortified town. Then, of course, further concessions must be made. It looks as though Verdun is
