Former KenOsha Woman Tells HoW Young
Lady's Foot Saved Abraham Lincoln
From An Assassin Before CiUI War
An Interesting Incident in the Life of President Abraham
Lincoln the Details of Which Were
Never Before Published

That moment, to quote the words OF
the young girl-now venerable and
notable woman--in a recent letter to
the writer, "a time when my person
may have helped to make history
The young girls memory heldeno ac-
count of what happened to the would
be assassin. In the tremendous con-
fusion and excitement there was but
one thought, the safety of Mr.. Lincoln.
Whether the man was arrested, or for
the moment was overlooked and es-
capped, she never knew. Those details,
however, are probably available in the
police records of that date-sometime
in October of 1852. or in the files OF
the Chicago Tribune.
This interesting personality is Mrs.
Theodore A. Gehrmann, for many years
resident at 1916 Ellis avenue, Chi
cago. She herself is a very cultivated
woman She has too the distinction
of being the mother of the late Or.
Adolph Gehrmann, who was the first TO
establish a psychological laboratory
for the Chicago Health Department.
DR.. Gehrmann also held the chair OF
Hygiene and Bacteriology in the Hi
nois University Medical College. for
rs years. He was made Professor En-
eritus two years before his death in
1920.
Made Flag for Gathering.
Mrs. Gehrmann was a young girl of
l3 at the time of the 1858 campaign,
A. l.. P. Emile Jehnke, by name. Her
father, with Carl Schurtz and others,
came over as exiles from Germany in
1s4s. Following her fathers death
her mother married Mr.. August Muhel-
enbeck, a resident of Springfield, a
friend of Lincoln and an officer of his
bodvpuard, "The Wide Awakes."
In connection with those times, but
prior to the near tragedy just narrated,
great parade was being prepared in
Springfield and no flag large enough
for the occasion could be bought. AS
Miss Jehnke's stepfather was the ON
Ger in charge the Wide Awakes asked
him if his two daughters would not5cut
out and make the flag, which they did
That flag is among the campaign relics
of 1853 in the State House in Spring
field.
1t would, in the writer's opinion, be
pity to omit the one amusing cpl
sode of those eventful days. 1t hap
pened naturally that the long process
sion should pass the residence of Mr..
Lincoln. Imagine the amazement9 OF
the processionists to Sc the Irish cook
of the Lincoln household out on the
front lawn waving her baton of office
"a rolling pin-and shouting for
"Douglas!"
1t is a matter of interest to the writ
er, though scarcely to the public,
that Norman Judd, who nominated Alb
raham Lincoln for President, was a
cousin Of her mother-.Mrs. Samuel
Thomas Rice, nee Matilda Judd. Nor
man Judd was chairman of the Hill
nois Committee at the National Repub-
lican Convention. Noted Chicago law
Yer and friend of Lincoln he was
largely responsible for the Lincoln
Douglas debates that so clarified ma

TELL IDEALS OF
ART, BUSINESS
Optimists Hear Pleas for
h Uplift of Art and Bust
ness Professions.
WANT CIVIC INTEREST

Members of the Kenosha Optimist
club heard two inspiring addresses
dealing with the development of two
important phases of civic conscious
ness. Roy c. Haines, who is in Ke-
nosha in the interest of a community
art week celebration, addressed the
Optimists on art development in its
relation to the development of a COM
munity's artistic and subjective sense
of idealism. Stephen |. Miller, dean
and national educational director of
the American Institute of Banking
who is to address the local chapter of
that institute this evening, spoke to
the Optimists on the conceptions of
business conscience and where bust
ness as a profession stands today.
sour daily life has neglected art,
the appreciation and creation Of the
beautiful" declared Mr.. Haines, the
first speaker. "Our systems of edu-
cation deprec'ate the inspiration art
gives to genius. A community with
out an adequate conception of beauty
in painting and in music lacks one Of
the most important things that 60
toward well-balanced community.
believe that music and painting today
is the greatest expression of spiritual
idealism within the privilege of man
kind. What we need is to bring it
into the community, develop it, spread
it, invite all to enjoy it, to have it,
and to revel in it. Art must be in
corporated into the great scheme Of
things in our every day life"
Dean Miller spoke of the essentials
which must be wrought into business
as it is at present constituted if it is
to be recognized on a parity with 9TH
er callings as a profession. Bust
ness" he declared, needs and has
two things that stamp it as profess
sion in spite of what name it may be
called at present. In order to be a
profession any calling must first have
science as background-and bust
ness has it. 1t is economics. 1t must
also have public service attitude
and business has it. Business is
more and more coming to understand
that it has a community service to
render. 1t is due to the failure Of
many to recognize this attitude that
there is so much legislation at pres
emit IF business expressed itself in
a wider horizon there would be less
need for regulation and initiative
would be far more widespread. The
labor problem is moro than a wage
problem it is human problem. Bring
the interests Of the business men to-
gether and they will see that the
problem is one which is mutual one
and sane employment management,
common sense in business, mutual
welfare in understanding those
things will bring about new era"
In the coming year special attention
will be given to instruction in health
and social medicine in Europe, Amer
lea and Japan, together with the devel-
opment and extension of physical
training, with the object of securing
the general adoption of rational meth
DDS of physical education

However, says the Department Of
