MRS. BASS IN TALK

The City Federation of Women's
Clubs was addressed by Mrs. George
Bass of Chicago last weei- at the Audi
torium of the Knights Of Columbus
club house. The occasion vas the an
nual banquet of the federation. Mrs,
Bass remcmhered hy,aGp iric'ls here
as Lizzie Merrill, was brought up in
this city, and the city has reason to be
proud of her. She has attained po-
stion as a national celebrity in public
affairs and ranks in the front among
the intellectual women of America.
During the former national admins
tration she was one of the leaders in
leadership and counsel.
At the meeting Mrs. r. II. Mark
ham, president of the federation, pre-
sided. Mrs. j. II. Strathearn, on re
quest, gave a general review of the
accomplishments of the women's club
movement in the city and especially
of the work since the federation was
formed Mrs. Bass gave a typically
brilliant address on the place of woman
and her relation to life and her duties.
Mayor Gergenson, called on, gave a
short talk and pledged cooperation of
the city government with the women
for the welfare of the community.
There was also fine musical pro-
gram including two violin solos by Or
vile Westgor.

CONDEMN FOR NEW STREET

Monday in county court a jury called
for the purpose of deciding the ques-
ton found that public necessity re-
quires the taking of the land necessary
for the opening of Twelfth street,
south from Division street. This is a
necessary preliminary to condemnation
proceedings The city council last year
directed city officers to try to pur-
chase the necessary land at private
sale, but as the owners and the CITY
could not agree on values the acquire
ment by condemnation became neces-
sary and the attorney was instructed
to go ahead that way No one ap-
peared to contest the necessity of the
taking. The contest will come when
three commissioners to be appointed
by the court hear testimony as to val
ues. Twelfth street is open a block
further south and this will join the
two parts of the street and make a
convenient thoroughfare as there is
now no street leading south from Di-
vision street between Tenth and Four
teenth streets.

Nordheim fairly smothered st. Naz-
ianz Sunday at Rhodes hall at Nord-
helm 26 to 2, although the visitors
were leading 2 to at the half way.
What worked the miracle at recess was
not entirely clear but it was explained
that the home team worked out a sig
nal system during the intermission.
This makes it game apiece for these
teams but it will probably be left that
way for the season.
Before a large crowd at Kellners-
vile last Sunday the Flavos of that
village defeated the Grimms team 34
to 10. The Flavos jumped into the
lead at the opening and there was
never much doubt as to who would be
winner after they got going. The half
ended with the home boys leading "a
to 0. In the second half the Grimms
team tried desperately to cut down the
lead but the Flayos held them to even
scoring in that half and clung to the
lead. Maribel plays at Kellnersville
next Sunday.

THE ICE STORM

When we went to press last week
the scope of the destruction of the ice
storm was hardly known. The dam
age to trees and wire lines was some
thing appalling. Manitowoc had no
wire service with the outside world for
two days For three days there were
no street cars. Most of the city lights
and telephone lines were out of COM
mission for days and some still are
not working. For two days no trains
came in due both to absence of wires
to control them and deep snow to the
north.
The country telephone lines were all
out of commission and some are said
to be virtually non-eXistant requiring
complete rebuilding. Some of the
smaller lines appear to be ruined fnan-
cially and must start over. The many
freaks of the ice weight on everything
are past describing. Many of the old
beautiful elms that line city streets are
ruined, their symetry destroyed even
if they live. Some large full grown
trees broke off across the body of the
trunk from the accumulated weight of
ice. There are reports of tremendous
damage to orchards about the county
There are stories of similar happen
ings but resident of remarkable
memory who can recall seventy winters
asserts that in that time there has been
nothing approaching this storm for
devastation from weight of ice. The
ice weight reached its peak Wednesday
night last week and the weather CON
tinued cold until this week and the ice
on the trees stuck tenaciously disclos-
ing a wonderland of prsmatic colors
when the sunshine struck it. On ave-
nues of shade full grown shade trees
as far as the eye could reach in all
directions bowed to the ground with
gloriously tinted diamonds is a sight
to be seen but once in a life time
A hundred men arrived from In
diana last Saturday and set to work to
repair Western Union telegraph lines
out of this city in several directions

BIG TAX PAYERS

Tuesday was the last day to pay
taxes without penalty and the city
treasurer was busy man. One day
last week the office took in over $780,
600 in cash, by far the biggest day in
the city's history. The heaviest tax
payer is the Aluminium Goods Com
pany which paid S1O3,937.52 The
Ship Building corporations receipt was
about 100000. The Cereal Products
Company paid S2S,7S3.S7, of which
.Sl9,S05.9O was paid under protest,
probably to save rights under the com
pany's objection to the assessment.
The Schuette Bros. Co. and o. Tori
son Co. taxes were each about $4,000;
Plumb & Nelson, SI,Sl2.14; and Esch
Sons Co., S3,712.7O AS matter of
fact the treasurer was perfectly will
ing to have people ask for a day or
two of time to relieve the tension on
the last day and stragglers will prob
ably be coming in for a few days.

IN MUNICIPAL COURT

The sheriff on Monday raided a
shack near the high bridge which had
been under suspicion for some time.
He took into custody one John Plotka,
and couple of pals of mash pre-
pared for distilling. 1t appeared that
the still had been loaned to some
friend who needed it for while. Only
small quantity of the fiery product
was uncovered. Plotka pleaded guilty
to making and having possession of
spirits. 1t would be a proclamation of
the brave days of yore to call the vile
dstillation "whskey."
He admitted making about a gallon
and half a week for some time but
denied having sold any of it, although
some was stolen from him. He kept it
for purposes of hospitality and must
have been unusually hospitable. Sen
tence was withheld pending the return
of the district attorney to the city.
Herbert Gennrich was brought back
from Milwaukee to explain why he is
not supporting his wife. The explana-
ton was that he had been out of job
and had just got back to work and
will "come clean" hereafter. He wants
her to come to Milwaukee and the
whole matter appeared to have been
ironed out satisfactorily for all con-
cerned

PHENOMENAL BOWLING FEAT

Only a bowling fan can appreciate
what II means to say that Delmar Seitz
bowled 99s Tuesday evening on regu-
lation alleys in scheduled league
game This is short of perfect. To
the initiated let it be explained that
the unusual feat was that from the first
to the eleventh balls, inclusive, rolled
the entire ten pins were toppled. On
the twelfth and final roll two of the
ten pins were left standing 1t is the
city record for match game on ac-
credited alleys.
The bowler had his hook working
perfectly and almost invariably struck
between pins number l and g. On the
last roll pins number and wobbled
but refused to topple.
On the old Weseman alleys years
ago Ed Larsen rolled 299 and a few
years ago on the old alleys William
Schade rolled the perfect 800 but these
were not match, schedule games on
the accredited alleys.

CHLOUPEK ON P0LICEWOMAN

The mayor, chief of police, County
Judge Chloupek as juvenile court
judge, the city councils committee on
police composed of Aldermen Thorison,
Fricke and Staalson, and a committee
of the City Federation of Women'S
Clubs composed of Miss Johanna
Lueps, Miss Gesine Schuette and Mrs.
II. J. Daeke all met in conference at
the city hall Tuesday evening over the
question of appointing policewoman
The ladies are said to have urged
the appointment of a woman to regu-
late conduct at public dances Judge
Chloupek gave long talk to the gath
ering of facts from his experience in
the Juvenile court and his conclusions
therefrom the substance of which was
that there appears to be more miscon-
duct in the crowd that likes to con
slider itself as society than there is at
the public dances and that great deal
more could DC accomplished by confn-
ing ,he worN to putting the smart set
in order and thereby furnishing a good
example than by meddling in and at
tempting to forcibly regulate conduct
at public dances.
This point of view was new to some
members of the conference and fur
nished food for reflection After the
talk a report favorable to the appoint
ment of policewoman seemed un-
likely. With this view point in the pub
lie mind it would not be good politics
to vote for a policewoman and any
thing that is not good politics has little
chance in the ordinary city council,
especially in early spring.

FIREMAN DIES DOING DUTY

Frank Kopedlansky, a member of
the city fire department, lost his life
by suffocaton while fighting a fire at
the korlesky store at 22O5 Marshall
street last week. The fireman went
into the burning building to relieve
one of the other men. He was fully
equipped and wore his mask. After
the fire was well under control he was
missed and search located him lying
filled with smoke. Every effort to re-
suscitate him was futile. He had evil
IDENTIFY died from suffocation. His
helmet was properly adjusted when he
was found. The department had been
at work about an hour and it was inn
possible to tell about how long a time
had elapsed since he had given out
Two other firemen were overcome by
smoke but quickly recovered.
The fire had started from crossing
of a power current wire and an cleo
trio light wire and an alarm had to be
carried to the station because all wires
were out of commission due to the ice
storm This gave the fire a big start
and made a stubborn blaze.
Kopidlansky joined the department
when the double platform system went
into force two months ago. He was
33 years old and a native of the town
of Cato. He was with the Blackhawk
division overseas during the world war.
He is survived by four sisters, Mrs
Barbara Kummel, Mrs. Louis Sauer,
Mrs. Frank Weber, and Miss Mary, and
two brothers, Frank and Albert, all
residents of this county.
The funeral was held Monday with
services and and interment at Kellners-

LIONS FORMALLY ACCEPTED

The Lions organization of the city
was formally attached to the general
organization at ceremonies at the Elks
club house last Thursday evening.
Doctor Scott, district governor of the
order for Illinois, made the charter
presentation and the principal speech.
In the course of his talk he explained
that the Lions are in no sense rivals or
competitors of the similar organiza-
tions of Rotarians or Kiwanis, but that
all work in harmony for similar ends.
He gave his auditors fine general
idea of the history, ideals, organiza-
ton, and work of the society. He said
that the motto is the Lets Go" which
came out Of the recent war. Presi-
dent Rankin of the local Rotary and
President Il. c. Plumb of the local XII
wants were guests and made brief talks
welcoming the Lions.
There was dinner followed by

The property in Chicago, recently
boought by the Government of the
United States for a site for the new
post office in that city was formerly
owned by Mr.. Benjamin Jones of this
city, who purchased it in 1888, from
the state of Illinois Gas school land)
for the sum of S5O5; in 1885, he resold
the same property to Lieutenant (now
Commodore) BigeIow, for $1,000; an
advance of $6,495 in two years; the
same property has now been purchased
by the government for the handsome
sum of SI,25O,OOO, an increase in thir-
ty-Seyen years of Sl,243,0OO, being an
evidence in itself of the rapid rise and
progress of the Garden City or, more
properly speaking, the Metropolis Of
the West.

HIGHWAYMAN TRIES

Somebody was out with a gun Mon
day night evidently trying to collect
enough money to pay his taxes, but
meeting with poor business. So far
as learned the returns, both gross and
net, were nothing.
Three persons reported to the police
what they deemed to be attempts at
robbery on the street and there were
unyerified rumors of at least a half
dozen more. The holdup artist merely
succeeded in soaring his victims who
invariably took to their heels. Not
having the experience of a citizen Of
Chicago they did not know that the
etiquette of the situation requires them
to "Stick 'em up" and stand still. Such
a social gaucherie as fight is re-
Election upon our city and distinctly
put us in the hick class.
The mysterious stranger stopped
Alex Andrastek at the Tinsel and Tov
Company plant and the man failed to
shoot at the fleeing Alex as he had
threatened to do. A man, probably
the same individual tried to stop Mrs.
Edgar Hanson near the Lincoln school
and only succeeded in greatly acceler
ating her gait. A man stopped Alfred
jacobson at the corner of Seventh and
Marshall streets but did not intimidate
him into delivering. The police have
not been able to lay hands on any one
likely to be the right man. MANY
streets are still dark because of the
ice storm havoc to the wiring making
work of this kind easier than usual.

Considerable difficulty has been met
with in the State Office for the Teach
er's Retirement Fund because school
officers do not send the required depos-
it promtly each month 1t was decided
that school clerks should make out the
pay roll and send it to the County Sup
erintendent together with the check or
draft made out to State Treasurer of
Wisconsin. " These will be checked over
carefully at this office and all Manito-
voc County checks and pay roll for
warded at one time. This will simplify
matters greatly in the state office and
and we will be sure that each district is
attending to this matter promptly and
properly in Manitowoc County.
