fully away at the home Of her son,
f. A. Lokaiicck, at about 8 o'clock

BOUGHT STOLEN WAlSKEY

Charles Schmidt was before Judge
Schmidt in Municipal court last Thurs
day to receive sentence under plea
of guilty to a charge of receiving, con
cealing and selling stolen goods. He
was fined $500 and costs.
The goods were whiskey which he
purchased from the "O'Donnell gang
and in particular included four cases
of whiskey lifted from the Kaufman
home He pleaded guilty some weeks
ago and sentence was deferred until
the case of the young burglars had
been disposed of He was not repre-
sented by counsel and his plea of guilty
and his making a clean breast of the
whole affair assisted in his escaping inn
prisonment. The Judge gave him
quite thoroughly to understand the
nature of the crime and this offense
against society and property rights.
This case had no connection with
prohibition laws and it remains to be
seen what attention, if any, the federal
authorities pay to Schmidts handling
whiskey at his Washington street
saloon.
Schmidt was recently candidate
for an important public office and
members of his party were not Chart
ably inclined over his lack of sense Of
responsibility toward the organization.

the nomination of a Socialist city at
torney, but those disposed to talk, if
there were any such, evidently realized
that there were enough members in
clined to harmony at the go-off to in
sure confirmation, so there was no dis
senting vote.
After recess the mayor gave out his
committee appointments, naming So
calsts at the head of nearly all the inn
portant committees, including bridges
finance, fire department, sanitation,
and streets.
The organization completed, the
mayor gave his "inaugural address" in
which he outlined his general plans
and gave his ideas on the city'S reeds.
He paid particular attention to
finances, made several suggestions
along the line of economy and dwelt
on better methods Of street improve

resume of the work and accomplish
ments of the legal department the past
three years. 1t included a surprising
large amount of important litigation

ngness to assist in cleaning up pend
ing legal matters. The council gave
him a rising vote of thanks for his
service.
On motion of Vogel the council ap-
propriated $3.50 to be turned over to
the G. A. r. for defrayng the ex-
penses of Memorial day observance.

WINTER IN APRIL

A bit of the January that we escaped
last January descended on the whole
northwest last Saturday and in mid
April train and street car service were
demoralzed by deep snow. Manitowoc
did not get the snow. 1t was all to tie
south of us, there being a sharp line
about half way between Manitowoc
and Sheboygan, but we experienced Sc
we're cold and a terrific gale for twenty
four hours.
Lake Michigan seldom presented "A
more angry appearance from nor
easter than it did last Saturday noon.
The waves rolled over the north break
water almost up to the safety walk.
There was no train service from the
south for over twcnty-four hours due
to trains stalled between Milwaukee
and Port Washington. A large number
of local people coming home from Mil
waukee Saturday afternoon spent over
twenty-four hours on the train and
many amusing incidents were related
of the long Imprisonment
Reports from various parts of the
west were that the storm caused great
loss of property and some loss of life.

BIG REBUILDING JOB

The steamer Steinbrenner owned by
the Krusman Transportation Company
of Cleveland cleared this port last
week ending one of the biggest rebuild
ing jobs in the history of the local
ship yards. The ship was taken into
the dry dock last fall and work on her
has been in progress since,
The contracts came to a figure near
$150,000 and including general re-
building and installation of new boilers.
CAPTAIN LampOh who has been here
all winter inspecting the work on be-
half of the owners left two weeks ago.
The steamer is one of the larger
steamers on the lakes being $50 feet
long.

go into commission at once

SUNKEN ROAD

4 Rockland town highway one mile
west of Collins dropped for distance
Of four rods, about sixteen feet.
There is chasm the entire
width Of the road for that distance
presenting a problem that suggested
bridging instead of filing Chairman
Defke was in the city last Friday to
urge County Highway Commissioner
To give the town aid in making repairs.
The road lies between two small lakes
and it has been surmiscd that there is
underground connection causing un-
dermining. Some observers do not
think it possible to get a permanent
foundation.
The town has the road closed off as
it would be a dangerous trap if left
open to traffic.

WILD LIFE PICTURES

Moving pictures of wild animal life
were presented at the Opera house
Sunday afternoon and eevning, under
the auspices of the local County Fish
and Game Protective association. The
place was crowded at each perform
ance. No admission was charged and
the afternoon was reserved for the
children.
An address was given at each per-
formance by Mark Catlin, a member of
the state assembly from Appleton who
was introduced by City Atty. f. l..
Kelley, former president of the local
association The talks were explana-
tory of the work of the game prescrva-
tion societies and of the wild life. The
pictures were enjoyable and instructive.

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH PRGSPERS

The annual meeting of the local
Presbyterian church was held last week
and the congregation was found to be
in a gratifying condition. The report
shows that in spite of unprecedented
expenditures there is balance of S3,
5O9,22, of which Sl,s25 is represented
by investments The big event of the
year was the erection of the branch
church at Riverview The Milwaukee
Presbytery and Board of Church Erec-
tion helped finance this undertaking to
the extent of $4,000 and sufficient
funds have been raised and pledged Ia
leave the building clear of debt. The
Membership of the church has increas-
ed from 27l active members to 545
under the Passionate of Rev. NJ. S Ak
tell and he was given a vote of thanks
by the meeting

LEAGUE BALL

If Manitowoc retains its berth in the
Lake Shore wheel one of the opening
games of the season will be
played here on May 8. The
program calls for Two Rivers at She
boygan, Juneau at Milwaukee, Green
Bay at Manitowoc. There will be
twenty-three games closing on Sept.
.2S. Waukesha lost out on its attempt
to prevent Juneau taking its place. 1t
this writing negotiations to have John
Herzog handle the local team have not
been finished and there is no positive
assurance that he will take the reins,
in default of which there is little likeli-
hood of league ball here this season.
Waukesha would gladly take over the
local franchise. Following last weeks
meeting the air was full of rumors re-
specting the personnel of the various
teams but there is little purpose Of dis
cussing the make up of team the ex-
istence of which is problematical.

MANY NEW CITIZENS

There is an unusually large number
of applications for citizenshop for ac-
tion at the June term of circuit court
this year, no less than one hundred and
forty. This is the first term of court
since our entry into the war the spring
of 1917 that citizens of Germany or
Austria could apply for naturalization
and this very probably accounts for the
large increase in the number of ap-
plieants. The ban on naturalization of
enemy aliens was recently raised.

IN MUNICIPAL COURT

a Milwaukee man giving the name
of Walter Lafe had quarrel with his
wife here and the police were told that
he had threatened her with the use of
his trusty howitzer. As he left a down
town restaurant and entered a taxi he
saw Officers Ladwig and Skubal and
probably surmising that they wanted to
interview him he dropped the artillery
from his pocket to the car SCAT The
officers found it loaded ready for ac-
tion and in municipal court Tuesday
morning he paid $50 and costs for car
rying concealed weapons. 1t was re
ported that the walking arsenal is a
Milwaukee county roadhouse proprie-
tor.
Andrew Robinson, sailor of the
Goodrich Carolina, got some of it
somewhere and was stumbling around
the shipyards Monday night in state
of bliss When accosted by Waterman
Shipper he tried assault and battery
but was sat on until the police motor
arrived, In court Tuesday morning he
said that he thought the watchman was
a hold-up man but he turned out to be
hold down man.
Emerson's famous law of compensa-
tion seems to be working out all right,
as the booze hounds say that although
the stuff costs three times as much as
formerly it now requires only one-third
as much to produce state of coma.

AORE: WHISkEY WITNESSES

-Four more witnesses from Mauito-
woe appeared yesterday before the fed
eral grand jury in session at Milwau-
lee. 1t is expected that the jury win
soon report out indictments in the
whisky cases and people pretending to
know something about it, which they
probably do not, say that about fifteen
Manitowoc men will be called to plead
before Judge Gciger upon charges Of
having violated provisions of the Vol.
stead act That there viii be iadci-
mcnts of some local men is a certainty.

The new council met and organized
Tuesday evening with the new socialist
mayor, Martin Georgenson, in the
chair. The three newaldermen are
Thorison, Nienaber and Hanson. Thori-
son comes back after eight years of
service and a four years vacation. Me
naber served for years and has been
out a year The mayor started right
into business without any flourish or
ceremony. The organizing went
through without any bitches except
that president of the council took a
number of ballots, Thorison finally
winning over NOgel, the Socialist
choice, and that harbormaster required
about sixteen ballots. For a dozen
ballots the result was Pete Rugowski
7, James Nelson 7. Nelson finally won
out
City Clerk Zander, Street Commits
sioner Vollendorf, Assessor Goetzler
and City Physician Shimek, were all
reelected by the council, virtually
without opposition.
The mayor then nominated the fol-
lowing officers all of whom were unan-
imously confirmed: City engineer Fred
Alter, present incumbent; Clarence
Teitgen, city attorney to succeed F. /.
Kelley; Henry Mulholland, city sealer
and weigher, present incumbent; DR..
Max Staehle, health commissioners, to
succeed DR.. J. +. Meany.
Balloting for two~bridgetenders and
four assistants occupied a lot of time
and the following were finally chosen:
Eighth street tender, Henry Goedke,
assistants, J. Kruger and II. Pingel.
Tenth street tender, Robert Weis-
man; assistants, William Marquardt,
and g. Pautz.
There was some tensity when the
nomination was made for city attorney
as there had been persistent rumors
that the non-socialists being in ma
jority, to 9, would refuse to confirm

CITY COUNCIL NOTES


The old city council met in its final
session at the council chamber Monday
evening,
Action on appropriating funds to
keep the Marine Band in existence was
deferred Some of the aldermen
thought $500 a whole lot of the tax
payers money to dig up in one bundle
for this purpose and there will be an
other conference before action is
taken. A resolution to appropriate the
money under the form of paying Tor
band concerts was apparently about to
be adopted when Vogel sounded the
note of doubt that gave everybody
pause.
BY unanimous vote an ordinance
was adopted requiring the street rail
way company to sprinkle along its
tracks, after the ordinance had been so
amended that the city will not furnish
the water free. Where the street is
oiled the company must use oil.
The council abandoned the idea of
Transforming the former electric plant
on Quay street into a garbage inciner-
ator and directed the Board of Public
Works to report on a new site. 1t was
stated that the bids received showed
that an entirely new plant could be
erected cheaper than the old building
could be transformed.
The council unanimously voted to
have the Pittsburgh Testing Labora-
tory, at a cost of Sl20, test the cement
and steel going into the new up-river
viaduct to he built this summer.
Election officers will receive SIS per
day for the spring election instead of
the SO they receievd last fall Bouril
and Vogel got into little squabble
over it. The Socialists voted for more
pay.
The committee report on ornamental
lighting of Eighth and Washington
streets was filed for future reference.
1t is proposed to utilize the poles now
in and to have joint ownership of the
poles with the telephone and street
railway companies Washington street
from Fifteenth to Seventeenth may be
eliminated.
The city may have a lawsuit on its
hands over its refusal to accept alleged
defective filing cabinets in the offices
of the city engineer and building in
spector. Mr.. Tomchek, the contractor,
was quoted as saying that he will col
lect and the Board of Public Works is
reported to he of the opinion that he
will not
The claim of Al Norris for injuries
to person and motorcycle through al
legged defects in the street at Eighth
street bridge was disallowed, l3 to l.
The defect is street car rails which are
not flush with the street surface and
Vogel thought the claim should be al
lowed and the street railway company
be gotten after.
There is a movement to open up
new section of South Twelfth from Di-
vision street south to Phillipen street,
about two blocks, where it will connect
with another section long open. The
street committee was instructed to see
the land owners and get prices on the
necessary street, sixty-six feet wide.
Klusmeyer initiated the move.
The old administration died at mid
night and the meeting was over before
that hour. Mayor Schroeder and al
dermen Isselman, O'Donnell and Holly
bade goodbye to official life. All four
were conscientious and faithful Off
cals.
