The Wrangell sentinel., 1920-07-08


 spectators realized that this most attractive float which was decor ated with patriotic colors, was William Berger's freight wagon. The work of decorating this float had been done by Mrs. Harry Gartley.
 The first event of the day after the parade was a boxing match. As a preliminary to the main event several boys between 10 and 15 years of age gave exhibitions of their pugilistic skill. Mir. H. L. Rowley of the sports commit. tee introduced Chips Gleason and "Pinkey Peabody. " These youth full pugilists looked amusing with gloves on that were almost as large as themselves, but when time was called they went at the boxing in a manner that showed that they were not subject to stage fright. At the conclusion of three rounds Charles Lynch, the referee, pronounced the con- test a draw.
 Mr. Rowley then introduced Robert Edmunson and Loren Hilts. After these boys had boxed three rounds the referee announced the contest a draw.
 The last of the preliminaries was a bout between George Case and Lennie Engstrom. This pair put more pep into their boxing than those who had preceded them. This contest also resulted in a draw.
 All of the boys did well and were good sports as none of them left the ring dissatisfied.
 The main event was a three round boxing match between James Lovett and Sailor Charles Smith of Sub Chaser 294. This proved to be the most popular event of the day, and was such a splendid exhibition that at the end of the second round some of the spectators began showing en- thusiastic appreciation by throw ing money into the ring. For a few moments silver fairly rained into the ring. At the end of the third round the referee an nounced the result as a draw. James Lovett is older and more experienced in boxing than Smith. Among the spectatators were several persons possess ing more or less knowledge of pugilistic tactics, and they were of the opinion that Lovett showed more science than his antagonist. Charles Smith is a likeable sailor boy who belongs to the crew of Sub Chaser 294. He is only 21 years of age, and scarcely more than a beginner in the boxing game, but he made splendid showing nevertheless, and the same critics who praised Lovett also said that Smith has in him the making of a most successful boxer.
 The boxing matches were fol- lowed by a wrestling match be- tween Eddie Lynch and Sailor Don Moore of Sub Chaser 294. In this contest three decisions were made in favor of Eddie Lynch.
 The greater part of the after noon was devoted to street sports. GA list of the prizes awarded in the street sports is published on the last page.) At the conclu- sion of the street sports there was baseball game between Wrangell and Lake Bay which resulted in a score of IS to 8 in favor of Wrangell.

 Housing Fourth
 July Celebration

The 1920 Fourth of July cele- bration in Wrangell was one which will not soon be forgotten. Never in the history of Wrangell was the weather more favorable for an Independence Day cele- bration, and never before was a celebration carried out more fit ingly and more successfully.
 The patriotic exercises were held in the Redmen's hall Sun day forenoon and were well at tended. Following the invoca- tion and the singing of the Star Spangled Banner the Declaration of Independence was read by MT. c. w. Upshaw.
 Mrs. John T. Towers of Seat tie sang Parla. Italian waltz song by Arditi. She was given a most enthusiastic encore to which she responded with an- other beautiful selection. When an audience hears Mrs. Towers it becomes so enraptured tlat it seems unable to get enough of her singing.
 At the conclusion of the rendi- ton of her second selection she was given another encore that indicated increasing enthusiasm and appreciation. She most graciously responded with a third selection that was also of a high quality of artistic excel, lence.
 Barbara Frietchie, a recitation by Joel Wing, was well received.
 The address of the day was made by MT. H. L. Rowley and was characterized by many strong patriotic utterances.
 The recitation, "The General" by Helen Hodges, made decided hit.
 The patriotic exercises were brought to a close by the singing of America after which Adjutant w. J. Carruthers pronounced the benediction.
 On Sunday afternoon there was a game of baseball between Wrangell and the crew of sub- chaser 294, resulting in a score of 20 to 5 in favor of Wrangell. The lineup for Wrangell was as follows: E. Shangle, catcher; York Burlington, pitcher; Tip O'Neal, first base; J. Shangle, second base; Fred Lewis, third base; Charles Suomela, short stop; Ted Sterling, left fielder; c. c. Mundy, center fielder; Wm. Lewis, Jr., right fielder. After pitching the first four innings York Harrington changed off with Tip O'Neal. Sid Burlington acted as umpire. There was not man on the Wrangell team who did not make one or more runs during the game.
 The sports committee put up $40 to be paid to the winners of this game. The Wrangell team upon receiving the money showed the right spirit by turning the money over to the visiting team. The visitors at first refused the money but the Wrangell boys were insistent and the money was finally accepted by the sail ors.
 On Monday the festivities started with a parade which was a beautiful sight. The first float was driven by l. c. Bjorge and contained the Goddess of Liberty represented by Miss Helen Fetch CT. On the float with the Goddess of Liberty were a number of little girls dressed in white, and follow ing this float there was a process sion of children.
 The next float in line was driv- en by Harry P. Mccormack and was very prettily decorated. It also carried a load of little people.

 The next annual session of the Shrineawill be held in Atlantic City, New Jersey, in June next year.
 The Shriners aboard the Jeff ferson were from time to time entertained with songs by the Aif Five composed of Frank J. Stapleton. first tenor; H. c. Ford, second tenor; Charles Ricka- baugh, baritone; John w. Jones, bass; T. Reeve Jones, pianist and coach.
 At every meal they were on the job making life merry in connection with the best eats man or woman ever sat down to and in the evenings giving con- certs in the saloon with the as- sistance of other members of the big family aboard the Jefferson, among whom were Miss Mary fitzpatrick, pianist premiere, and Mrs. Anna s. King, well known Tacoma contralto and wife other- wise of the beloved Potentate of Afifi Temple.
 Among the songs sung by the Afifi Five were a number of par odies that had been composed on the voyage. The following sam pie will give the reader an idea of the nature of these parodies:
 (Tune of Smiles)
 Have you ever seen a man like Ed
 ward,
 He's the man bout whom men like to
 sing:
 An the smile like you've never seen
 one,
 Is the grin he always has to show: J
 Shrine thing,
 He's man you'd be proud to know.
 The Shriners were doing some thing every minute of the voyage. On Sunday they presented MT. and Mrs. King with an expensive and beautiful Chilkat blanket. Later in the day they gave this beloved couple another surprise by presenting them with a huge cake the frosting of which con- tained many patriotic emblems done in colors. It was surely a wonderful example of culinary art, and many kodak pictures of it were taken. At II o'clock in the evening the cake was cut by MT, and Mrs. King and shared with the other members of the party.
 Before the Jefferson sailed MT. King stated to the reporter that this was his third trip to Alaska and that each succeeding trip had been more enjoyable than the preceding one. He said that he had become very much interested in Alaska curios and that he was going to fit up a room with the souvenirs and relics he had gath cred in Alaska. MT.

me romance of runaway marriage.
IN which Laurens NJ. Hamilton, the
nineteen-year-old grandson of the late
D. plerpont Morgan, enacted the leading
role was unfolded yesterday. The
marriage took place last Monday some
vhere in the seclusion of rural New
hampshire, despite the efforts Of Mrs.
1lllam Pierson Hamilton, mother of
'he young man, to prevent it.
iI was through her efforts to fore
s'all the ceremony that news of the
marriage became known. An interest
ing ar OF mystery shrouds the identity
oi tne bride, who is said to be a Mrs.
gertrude Warren, we'll known in Eu-
rope and this country.
Mrs. warren. who is also referred
10 as Mrs. Gregory Warren, was a
guest at the Hotel Ritz Carlton until
the eiopement. AS far as can be
learned, 1T was in that hostelry that
young Hamilton first met his bride.
AZ the Rltz- Carlton yesterday it was
admitted that Mrs. Warren recently
had been guest, but further informa-
!ton was refused From another source
1t was said that Mrs. Warren was a
native of Louisville and was about
thlrty-two years old. She was de-
scrlbed as being beautiful.
Nothing could be learned about her
former marriage, nor the identity of
Gregory Warren. 1t was said that dur
ing the war Mrs. Warren was engaged
IN war work in this country and abroad.
William Pierson Hamilton, father Of
the young man, declined last night
to discuss the marriage.

Detzer's Judges Reach
Verdict i'm 5 Minutes
Speed of Decision Leads to the
Belief That Captain. Has Been
Acquitted of Charges

The fact that the seven officers COM
posing the general couft martial at
Governors Island took but five min
utes yesterday to come to decision as
to the guilt or innocence of Captain
Karl W. Deter, charged with cruelty
to prisoners under his control in
France, led to the belief at the army
post that he had been acquitted. Court
martial decisions are not made public
until announced by the commander of
the department.
1t is customary, however. when a YER
dict OF innocent, er one of guilty carry
ing with it so severe a penalty, is
reached. to restore the accused to the
privileges of his rank almost mme-
diately. Deter predicted last night
ne would be so favored within twenty
four hours.
The Deter trial extended over eight
weeks and took up -twenty-nine court
days. The captain. who was in charge
of criminal investigation in the Mans
area, contended the charges against him
had been framed up in much the same
manner that he was accused of obtain
ing evidence against army prisoners.

On October II, 1918, the plants of the
subsidiary manufacturing companies
were placed on the basic eight hour
DAY, with time and onc-half paid for
overtime.
The total amount of the corpora-
TONS payrolls in 1918 was s452 ,663 =
524, the largest in it's history up to
that year Last year they were larger,
owing to the accumulation of the ad-
vances. The largest number of en-
ployes in any one month on the pay
roll was 283.414. while the average
daily wage for the year was S5.38,
compared with S416 in 1917.
1t is understood that the important
Independent companies will follow the
lead of the Steel Corporation in ad-
vancing wages. This has been their
custom in the past.
