WINNETKA MEN HONORED Briton Martin and Hale Holden, Winnetka men, were this week elect- ed to societies at Yale university at the picturesque Tap day exercises. Martin was elected a member of the Captain And Crew Back in Port: Set New River Record The river-skiff "Water Gypsy", with Captain Carlton Prouty and its one-girl crew, consisting of the cap- tain's daughter Dorothy, came safely into port at the Prouty cottage near McHenry late last Saturday after- noon, after nine full and laborious days spent in exploring upper Fox river in northern Illinois and south- ern Wisconsin. The Gypsy was sailed, rowed, push- poled and dragged by head-line from the Prouty cottage to a point within three miles of the City of Waukesha, where low water, wire fence obstruc- tions, shoals, rocks and the reduc- .|tion of the river to the size and vol- ume of a large brook, rendered furth- er progress impossible. However, as the Gypsy had beaten the previous records, so far as recorded, all on board were happy. The camping part of the trip was not without hardship. May is no month in which to camp, being cold and rainy, yet Mr. Prouty thought he had sufficient clothing and blankets on board to meet all emergencies. But he was deceived by the unusual- ly late season. The explorers were sufficiently comfortable during the day, but the nights in the tent were bitterly cold. They carefully dresses for béd by puiting on all their cloth- ing, including hunting-coats, gloves and nightcaps made of their bandana handkerchiefs, but before morning it was always necessary to warm up the tent with the cooking-lamp and then, after a thaw-out, go to sleep again. lhe lamp could not be left burning, as a careless kick by a shivering sleeper might burn down the house. Near Waterford, Wis. just at breakfast, a fine Holstein bull took offense at the tent being set up in his pasture, and in spite of shoutings, clubbings and rocks hurled against his* black sides, fairly drove the ex- plorers off the field, with their cook- ing half done and baggage dumped in- to the boat in an awful muddle. It was necessary to cross the river, and spend an hour unloading, cleaning up and straightening out the muss be- fore the voyage could proceed. Good, warm food was always plen- tiful, and, aside from the cold nights, the trip was enjoyable. Four dams were portaged on the trip, counting double for the return journey, and the total mileage covered exceeded 200 miles. agers covered thirty-five miles, Mr. Prouty rowing the entire distance in fifteen hours, total elapsed time. The Crew was game as a pebble, and started and finished the trip sing- ing. The Captain, however, says that while he would not have missed the affair for twenty-five dollars, he would not repeat it for one-hundred. Man Honoredby D.A.R Roswell Hayes Fuller, Aviator Slain in France, Included in Memorial Presented in Chicago The framed Memorial, comemora- ting the services of the four gold star | soldiers, Roswell Hayes Fuller, 1'heo- dore Houston, Jr., Eugene and Elliott Durand, J., sond of members of the: Chicago Chapter D. A. R., was presented at the morning session of |its annual business meeting, Thursday, May 19, in Recital Hall, Fine Arts building, by Mrs. John Orson Barber, chairman of the committee on Monu- ments and Relics. The Memorial, twenty-two by twen- ty-eight inches, contains the pictures of the three aviators, Fuller and the brothers Durand, grouped about the airman's symbol, while above are American Flags. Below is the picture of the artil- leryman Houston. On either side of him are the U. S. Seal and the D. A. R. emblem. Mrs. Barber designed the work and the various symbols are done in wa- ter colors and burnished gold, with the services of each man beautifully inscribed. On the frame is a brass marker with the immortal words of Lieut. Dinsmore Ely: "Like a liberty bond, it is an investment, not a loss, when a man dies for his country". RE-OPEN ELDORADO STREET Eldorado street, from Foxdale ave- nue to the Chicago and Northwestern railroad right of way, was re-opened Scroll and Key, and Holden became a member of the Elihu club. Both are members of the class of 1922. to traffic this week. The stretch of street had been closed while being treated to a new surface. '| Representative On the last day the voy- |. COALITION TICKET WINS FAVOR HERE Group of Citizens Plan .Active .Support .of .Anti- Thompson Judiciary Ticket Hundreds of Winnetka's leading citizens have in the past few weeks openly endorsed the Coalition non- partisan ticket in the forthcoming Ju- diciary election, Monday, June 6. The list of endorsers is growing each day indicating overwhelming approval here of the candidates who are in di- rect opposition to the men selected by the Thompson - Lundin political machine. In this movement Winnetka is not alone, for the entire north shore ap- pears to be solidly behind the Coali- tion ticket with indications that the organized support these candidates are receiving will bring out a record vote on Judiciary election day. What Ticket Comprises The Coalition ticket in the Judiciary election, it is explained, comprises an equal number of Republican and Democratic candidates and is en- dorsed by the Chicago Bar associa- tion, County Democrats and all the Republican political groups, with the exception of the Thompson-Lundin faction. Every sitting judge was ask- ed to become a candidate on the Coalition ticket, fourteen accepting and but four declining. Because of technicalities in the election laws it has been necessary to place the Coalition ticket under the Democratic party designation, since, while non-partizan in every sense, it must by law appear under party designation. The ticket is in direct opposition to the so-called Re- publican ticket placed in the field by the Thompson machine. The Coalition Ticket is described as standing fei: "Independence of the Judiciary." "Re-election of the sitting judges." "Non-partisanship in Judicial elec- tions". "Opposition to control of our Ju- diciary by the Thompson. machine" Col. J. B. Sanborn Here Memorial Day World War Hero to be Chairman of Special Outdoor Meeting; Rev. John Timothy Stone, Speaker Memorial Day is to be fittingly ob- served in Winnetka this year with special exercises on the Village Green at 3 o'clock in the afternoon of May 30. Col. J. B. Sanborn, well known to all Winnetkans, and hero of the World War: will be chairman of the ceremonies and will introduce the speaker of the day, the Rev. John Timothy Stone, pastor of the Fourth Presbyterian church of Chicago. Rev. James Austin Richards, pastor of the Winnetka Congregational church, wi'l pronounce the invocation. There is to be no Memorial Day parade in Winnetka this year, ac- } eordine to E. B. Bartlett, chairman of the Memorial Day committee, but the G. A. R. and members of the Win- netka Post of the American Legion will be honor guests. A rifle squad is to be on the scene to fire the sa- lutes to the flag and in memory of the Winnetka men who made the supreme i sacrifice in the World War. Band concerts will feature the day's activities. Colonel Sanborn, chairman E. B. Bartlett and J. M. Dickinson, Jr. commander of the Winnetka Post of the American Legion, will confer to- day relative to detailed plans for Me- morial Day. GRAND JURY WILL HEAR ABOUT THAT COAT DEAL Rose Miller of the Clarendon hotel, Chicago, was lield to the grand pury in Magistrate Mickey's Wilmette police court Monday on the charge of receiving stolen property. She was held in $2,000 bail. Edward H. Weihe, 144 Maple ave- nue, spied the young woman on Wednesday, May 11, promenading in Michigan boulevard wearing an ex- pensive fur coat which tallied in de- scription with a coat stolen several weeks ago from the Weihe home. Weihe delegated himself a sleuth, followed the woman until he en- countered a policeman and forthwith demanded arrest. The woman declared she had pur- chased the coat from a stranger at a coast of $60. The garment was said to be valued at more than $500. Not Frank: When There's So Much Work To be Done Frank Bartelme, of the genial fam- ily that specializes in the irresistable chicken al a's of varied description over Shermerville way, has forsaken distribution of ~oiocgnes to resume ex- pert manipulation of the "vossiture" and, incidentally, sorely disap- pointed admiring and congratulatory Winnetka friends. by returning to the village from a many months' journey through the west and Cana- da--alone. It had been rumored that Fraak, of the confirmed type, had annexed a life's companion in the course of his travels. But, nothing of the sort. Frank is too busy arranging al a's to even worry about accomodating anx- ious companions of the round table. There'll be no gratis dinner at North- field Inn. Fact is, he can't afford to interrupt business long enough to emit the celebrated equine ha, ha! Legion May Dance YOU WANT TO PLAY?
