High School Notes.

The girls glee club of the high school
rendered very pleasingly the operetta
"Windmills of Holland" which had
been developed under the direction of
Miss Emile Wiedenbeck, supervisor of
music in the public schools.
The costumes had been very cleverly
arranged, the parts were all we'll TAX
en-, the chorus work was of exceptional
merit. The boys who assisted the glee
club, Robt Nelson, Edw. Leary and
VIM. Ogden, are boys who possess
good voices, their participation was
very effective.
The appreciation which the local COM
munity always shows for entertain
ments of this nature was evidenced by
the large attendance. The net receipts
were about one hundred dollars.
Memorial services in honor of Sgt.
Norman Clarke, of the class of 1917,
were held in the high school auditorium
on Friday afternoon. A framed eulogy
presented by the class of 1917 and an
enlarged picture of Norman taken of
him in the uniform of the army were
displayed and are to be hung on the
Mr. Holt read the eulogy which he
explained voiced the sincere and re-
spectful sentiment of the class of 1917
for its hero president. Stanley Slsgg,
speaking for the present student body,
gave indication of the deep impression
which Norman had made on the under
classmen of the high school. Mr.. Lam
oreaux spoke as one who had become
intimately connected with Norman both
as teacher and athletic coach. He spoke
Of Norman as never sport but always
q sportsman, as one who unassulning,
retiring, yet was always the gamest Of
players, shining star in that he al
ways played to advance the interests
of the team, never of himself.
On behalf of the faculty, Mr.. Holt
paid tribute to the influence of so noble
q character upon the morale of the
school, He maintained that the men,
DRY of Norman Clarke as student, pa
triot and gentleman would always re-
main an inspiration to future genera
tons of high school students.
The exercises were closed with the
singing of America by the student
body.
Work on the Crimson, high school
annual, is well under way. It is plan
ned this year to issue victory annual.
The seniors have the book in charge
and will try to be responsible for q
book of as high merit as that of previ-
GUS years. The merchants of Edger-
ton have beensplendidly liberal in max
ing the book possible thru their willing
ness to advertise. This liberality is
by the students who be-
come firm boosters of their recognized
friends.

Obituary.
MRS. ROBERT BRUHN.

MhS. HUBERT bhOnN.
Wilhelmina Schmeling was born in
Germany, January 3, 1865, and died at
her home in this city, April IL, 1919.
She emigrated to this country with her
parents in 1881 and was married to
Robert Bruhn on March Is, 1884. She
was the mother of nine children, two
of whom died in infancy. Besides her
husband, seven children remain to
mourn her loss: Mrs. August Ratzlaff
Jr., Paul Bruhn of Waukesha, Mrs.
Alma Schumacher, Mrs. Fred. Ratz-
laff, Betty, Elizabeth and Esther
Bruhn. Also one sister and three
brothers, Mrs. Matilda Kading and Jno.
Schmeling of Casey, Iowa, and II. w.
Schmeling and Aug. Schmeling of this
city.
All of Mrs. Bruhn's married life was
spent in Edgerton. Her being taken
now seems particularly hard since she
was comparatively young woman.
Everything possible was done for her
relief, but to no avail. Altho she vas
known to but small circle Of intimate
friends outside of her immediate fam
lily, her going leaves very real and
lasting void. Her home was her king
dom and she was never happier than
when dispensing it's hospitality to her
own and to her children's friends. To
her husband she was helpmate in the
truest sense of the word, and to her
children the word moth3r will always
stand for what is fine and uplifting. A
member of the Lutheran church, Mrs.
Bruhn' 8 life to those who had the priv
ilege of knowing her typifed real
Christianity. She talked little of her
religion, but one could easily see that
her belief in living God very power
fully influenced her daily life. She has
been patient sufferer for some months
and calmly awaited her release, ex-
pressing no fear of death. Sunday
morning, while surrounded by her fam
lily, her delivery came and she passed
from quiet sleep into an eternity of
rest.
The funeral was held at the home
and at st. Johns Lutheran church
Wednesday afternoon, Rev. Spilman
officiating.

Federation Meeting.

One of the best meetings ever held
by the Edgerton Federation of Women s
Clubs was Reciprocity Day" Friday
Mt Library hall.
A dainty three course luncheon was
served to eighty eight club women and
guests by the w. C. T. u. ladies.
After the luncheon the meeting was
called to order by the president, Mrs.
Ethel Marsden, who in a few well
chosen words told the object of ere
ciprocity Day. and announced COM
munity singing with Mrs. Wanamaker
as leader.
After singing the three speakers of
the day were in turn appropriately in
troduced Never in the history of the
Federation have we been 80 honored as
we were by these three representative
women. The state president, Mrs. Fl.
S. Miller of Madison, gave a very in
teresting talk on the meaning of fed
GRAFTON and the influence that club
women are welding. She told of her
being summoned recently to the capitol
to confer with legislative committee,
the chairman saying that he wished to
explain some proposed legislation, ''Be-
cause we do not want you women to
oppose usp'
The district president, Mrs. Dickey
of Racine, spoke of the Federation
work in the district, announcing the
district meeting at Milton. She also
made an appeal for the Wisconsin Club
Woman's Magazine, a publication deal
isg with club work throughout the
state.
Dean Nardin of the u. w. gave the
real treat of the afternoon. She be-
gan with talk on our neighbors, CIV
ing "reminiscences of her childhood on a
farm, showing the decline to a great
extent of the neighborly relations since
that time. Community clubs have been
formed and in q measure have again
restored the old time neighborliness.
Keen and cutting her criticisms, hu-
morous in her illustrations and logical
in her conclusions, she brought her
discourse to climax by an appeal for
the League of Nations which would
represent the neighborliness of the
world.

ViolatorsOf Coal
 Strike Injunction
 ToBeProsecuted
lRepubIican A. p. Leased wirel

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Dec. 2.-Con- vinced that efforts to bring about a resumption of operation of coal mines through offers of fl per cent wage advance to miners have failed and that the injunction issued by United States District Judge Anderson against the strike has been violated the government has concluded to in- stitute contempt proceedings at once it was indicated tonight.
 Federal agents would make no statements as to when court action might be expected but it is known that evidence has been collected against alleged violators of the in junction and in well informed circles it was confidently expected that ar rests would be made within AS hours
 It is understood that the government has delayed taking action in the hope that some other way out of the fue difficulty would be found.
 The injunction, as explained by Judge Anderson extends to individua miners, operators or other person, who in any way encourage the strike or interference with production o coal. Government attorneys, it i, said, interprets this to mean that any statement made by miners, or any agreement between two or more mer to continue on strike constitutes ; violation of the injunction

Republican A. p. Leased Wire]

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-President Wilson's message to congress, with it's suggestions on the labor problem was read today before the second indus trial conference engaged in formulat- ing program to harmonize relations between capital and labor.
 Continuing its deliberations behind closed doors, the conference discussed all phases of the task assigned to it for more than six hours today. Plans for a permanent system of mediation or arbitration of labor disputes, as sug- gested by the president, were consid cred. Immigration, the place of alien workers in American industry, cost of living, adequate pay and hours of work, also occupied the attention of the delegates without any attempt being made to put any of the suggestions into final shape.
 Stanley King of Boston, spokesman for the conference. said the discussions without stenographic record probably will continue the week. after which preparation of a report would be un- dertaken.
 A committee composed of Secretary Wilson, Herbert Hoover, Former At forney General Gregory and Julius Rosenwald conferred with Secretary Tumulty at the White House concern i ing an appropriation to meet the ex- penses of the conference. They were asked to prepare budget.

CONTRAST ACTION ON
 ENGLISH DEMAND TO
 JENKINS CASE DELAY
Mexico Speedily Effects Release of Kidnapped British Subject-Argue on Release of Consul
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON. Dec. With much impatience the state department today awaited word from Mexico City of the release of Consular Agent Jenkins in the penitentiary at Puebla in response to this governments second sharp note to Carranza. The department to- night had not been advised of the notes delivery, but officials said it probably was presented during the day and that they expected prompt action by the Carranza administration in ac ceding to the request" of the United States. The note was forwarded early Sunday and a delayed dispatch from the Mexican capital said the Mexican foreign office announced late last night that it had not been re- ceived Errors in cable transmission were said to have delayed it's presen- tation.
 England Gets Quick Action
 new sidelight on the general Mex ican Kidnapping situation was given to- day in report of the capture of Nor man Rowe, a British subject, by rebels at Zacatecas, who held him for ran som, but who quickly released him at the instance of the Carranza admin istration, without payment of ransom.
 Great Britain never recognized the Carranza regime in rfexico.
 The British vice consul at Zacatecas promptly notified the Mexican authori- ties and reported the Kidnapping to the British consulate general at Mexico City.
 Representations were quickly made to the Mexican government and within a few hours the machinery, including the military, was seeking rescue of Rowe. The Kidnapping took place at Fresnillo, a large mining camp at Zacatecas. and in reporting the liber- ation and return of Rowe to Fresnillo ] the vice consul said:
 ''The government troops and the i state authorities exercised all dili- i gence in effecting the liberty of Rowe and as a mere matter of justice this should be stated as everything is due to the efficiency with which the au- thorities moved in the matter"
 Cabrera Active in Prosecution
 Luis Cabrera, secretary of tht treasury under Carranza, known to b, bitterly anti American and whose brother Is governor of the state O Puebla, where the Jenkins Kidnapping took place, has taken an active part il the Mexican governments prosecution of the case against Jenkins. according to advices received today. In a state ment prepared for the press of Mexico
 City, Cabrera said that Jenkins migh
 be liberated on bone. but that tn
 American government now prefers t
 set him free by means of threats , Tt is inexplicable," Cabrera wa
 quoted as saying, that the Americal , government should have requested tn
 immediate release of Jenkins even be
 fore the court decision was rendered
 The United States government is seek ing to have Jenkins declared innocen z even before the investigations of tn case are completed. And if the insin } nations of another government i purely administrative matters can nc be accepted, how can foreign imposi } tion be permitted to hurry final sen t tence in a case which is of the eXclu , sive jurisdiction of the. courts?"

S,D, REPUBLICANS FAVOR GEN. W0OD FUR PRESIDENCY
Gov. Lowden of Illinois Only Other Serious Con- tender ID e m OCT ats Pledge Support to Wilson If He Runs for Third Term
Republican A. p. Leased WireJ

PIERRE, s. D.. Dec 2-Major Gen. eral Leonard Wood was indorsed for president of the United States early tonight by the republican state conven- tion after a spirited struggle in which Governor Frank o. Lowden of Illinois came out second best. While the re- publicans were meeting in one legis- lative chamber of the state capitol, the democratic state convention in the op- posite chamber indorsed President Will son for a third term by an unanimous vote.
 Under the Richards state primary laW, the country delegations cast their vote on the basis of their voting strength at the last state election and a majority was necessary to fndorse or nominate. Wood received 29,599 votes from the republican mapority and Low den got 15.442. The necessary majority was 25,55S.
 The republican convention was turned into a turbulent session late to- day, when one faction halted a roll call on presidential indorsement and urged that the county delegations withhold their vote on that question. After this move was defeated, the supporters of this plan who were classed as anti Wood delegates, swung their strength to Lowden.
 The republicans then quickly in- dorsed Governor Calvin Coolidge of Massachusetts for the vice presidential nomination. Coolidge received a heavy ma jority. few scattering votes were cast for Theodore Roosevelt, Senator Hiram Johnson and Henry Allen of 1 Kansas. The democrats indorsed Vice President Marshall for a third term if i he IS a candidate.
 Governor Peter Norbeck was nomi mated for United States senator by the republican party to oppose Senator Ed i s. Johnson, who was renominated by the democrats. Both conventions then took up the work of nominating con 1 gressional and state tickets.
 The only other presidential possi- bility mentioned at the democratic i convention was William G. McAdoo After President Wilson was indorsed 8 delegate moved that the convention in dorse McAdoo in the event that Presi.

 date. The motion was ruled out O

 The democrats spent most of the aft
 ernoon discussing their platform ana
 particularly the labor plank. The Re
 publicans adopted their platform in tn,
 forenoon. The keynote of the demo
 cratic platform was permanent peac'
 under the league of nations. The para mount issue of the republican resolu
 tions was Americanism
 ; Both parties indorsed the league o ] nations. The democrats unreservedl,
 indorsed President Wilson and his ad
 ministration and the league of nation covenant without amendments or res ervations. The republicans condemnet
