LABOR EXPECTED TO
ENDORSE CANDIDATES
Conference at Atlantic City Will Not
Come Out for Parties but
for Individuals.

Atlantic City, N. 1.-THE executive
council of the American Federation of
Labor today is expected to receive the
report of its national presidential
campaign committee and labor leaders
here as lookers-on at the annual ses-
sion of the council are expected to
endorse the candidates. of Senators
LaFollette and Wheeler.
Forecasts that the council will en-
dorse these candidates for the presi-
dency and vice presidency are coupled
with assurances that the A. F. Of L.
will not go so far as to pledge it's
support to all candidates who link
their names with those of LaFollette
and Wheeler on party ticket.
Among labor chieftains here in the
role of spectators, it is understood
that the endorsement will be one of
candidates and individuals and not as
members of party. Thus, they point
out, the American Federation of Labor
can throw the support of its four
million or more members into the La
Toilette Wheeler campaign without
abrogating the unwritten rule of
the organization that it shall remain
non-partisan.

Coolidge's First Year.

Washington, D. C. President
Coolidge today completed his first
year in Office, sticking to his desk
through most of the day as he has
throughout the entire period.
President Harding died year ago

of Office early the next morning at his
fathers home in Plymouth, VT, he
came Immediately to Washington
and has been here almost constantly
since.
When asked recently what he con-
sidered the outstanding points of his
first year in office the president re-
piled the general public perhaps was
a better judge Of that than himself.
Hopeful of getting in some addi-
tional work on his speech of accept
ance Of the formal notification of his
nomination, Mr.. Coolidge said yester-
day he expected to conclude work on
his speech soon, but he reminded a
group Of newspaper men that pushing
to an early conclusion speech which
was not to be delivered for some time
probably might be compared with
rushing story which did not have to
make an edition.

j. F. Mathews, 81, Died
Sunday Morning from
Septic Poisoning.
ILL ONLY FEW DAYS
Blood Poisoning Develops from
Slight Cut on Neck Made by
Barber Eight Days Before.

Septic poisoning, developing from a
slight cut from a razor, caused the
death of Joseph F. Mathews, 81, well
Sunday morning at the ST. GATHERINGS
hospital after an illness of only few
days. Eight days ago Mr.. Mathews
had received a small cut on the side
of his neck, while he was being shaved
in a barber shop; the injury was so
slight that he had paid little attention
to it until last Wednesday when it
showed that it was infected. Since
that time everything possible has been
done to halt the spread of the poison
but all efforts were unavailing.
On Saturday evening he was taken
most critically i'll, becoming delirious
and later going into a state of coma,
from which he never rallied. He was
hurried from his home at 403 Ex-
change street to the st. GATHERINGS
hospital, where he died at dawn on
Sunday morning.
A Native of Kenosha.
The deceased was born in Kenosha
June 18, 1887, the son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank w. Mathews. He had lived all
of his early life in this city, attending
both the st. James school and the
Kenosha high school, from both of
which he had been graduated. He was
employed at the N. r. Aliens Sons and
also at the Simmons company for few
years after he completed his education.
More than sixteen years ago he had
entered the employ of the Marshall
Field company at Chicago and had
continued in its employ until his
death. He had been advanced reg
ularly and was a buyer in the mems
department, in which work he had
been most efficient.
Served During the War.
In war days he followed the flag
serving as a member of the SAITH En-
gineers. He was member of the
Kenosha Lodge of Elks and of the
Kenosha chapter of the Knights Of
Columbus and had been active in the
work of both organizations. He was
a member of the Marshall Field post
of the American Legion.
Surviving the deceased are his
mother, Mrs. Ellen Mathews, one sis
ter, Miss Grace Mathews, and one
brother, Theo. F. Mathews, all of
Kenosha.
The funeral services will be held
Tuesday morning at nine-thirty O'Clock
at the ST. James church with inter
ment following in the family plot in
the st. James cemetery.

MARIE KARUHN
TO LEAVE BABY
picture Bride" Believes
There's Better Chance
for Boy Here.
LOCALS in ZERO FIGHT
Chief Logan with Social Service
Workers Goes to See
Congressman Today.

On Wednesday, August 6, Marie
Karuhan is scheduled to sail for
Germany, as a person whom Uncle
Sam does not want to have for fu-
ture citizen. She is ranked as Gun
desirable"
But Marie has decided to leave a
gift to Uncle Sam just the same, the
gift of her baby and Uncle whether
he likes it or not will have to stand
foster father in this case.
Mrs. Beulah Mcneil, Kenosha po-
licewoman and Mrs. Marshall Nidey of
the Kenosha Service League, visited
Marie at Chicago Saturday and learn
ed her final decision with respect to
the child.
Baby Has No Chance There.
"No chance for baby" she said shak-
ing her head. 'My baby, no chance in
old country" She wept little as
she kissed the downy head of the in
FAINT born to her recently at ST. Vim
cents hospital in Chicago, and said:
81 must leave him here"
Mories decision to leave the tiny
creature behind her came somewhat as
a surprise for it was thought that of
course if she must go she would take
with her her tiny boy. But her reasons
that she would have a hard enough
time to fight her way herself and could
not give the child the start in life
that it should have, succeeded in con-
vincing her hearers.
Stage Last Minute Appeal.
This afternoon Chief Logan of the
Kenosha police, Mrs. Mcneil and Mrs.
Nidey and Attorney Roy S. Stephen
son are leaving for Racine to consult
with Congressman Henry Allen Coop
er and see if he will not lend his eff
forts to keep the shores of Germany
further off from the young immigrant
girl. There is still a chance, but a
slim one, that when the steamer pulls
off past the statue of liberty Marie
will be under its wings on this side
instead of sailing off alone to an I'M
known fate in troubled country.
Marie met her greatest misfortune
when the lover, Emil Lempke whom she
met in German and whom she was
to marry in Kenosha, deserted her here.
He is the father Of the child which
was born to her at St. Vincent's hos
pital in Chicago recently, Marie says,
but he left her side and refused to
marry her when he learned certain
facts about her life. 1t was this his
tory of Marie's which made immigra-
ton officials decide to deport her.
