Mason, State's Attorney for Lake County, Gives Talk at Ladies' Night Event Randall Gauge Today Shows Level 18 5-8 Above Crest of the Menasha Dam. More Rain Falls Yesterday's respite from the almost constant rainfall that continued for more than a week was short-lived as rain began to fall again last evening and during the night there was a steady shower, the precipitation measuring .87 of an inch. According to the records of the Buckstaff observatory, the period from 8 o'clock Monday evening to 8 o'clock Tuesday evening (when the readings are taken) showed no precipitation, which was the first 24-hour period since Sept. 4 without any rainfall.

There was a trace of precipitation on Sept. 5 and on the following day the heavy rain fall began which has boosted the total for this month thus far to 6.74 inches. NEAR ALL-TIME RECORD The total precipitation for 1938, to date, is 36.52 inches, which is only 5.13 inches short of the all-time annual record of 41.65 inches set in 1890. With three and one- half months remaining this year it is becoming increasingly possible that that record may be exceeded.

A. Wiech-ering today phoned the district war department office at Milwaukee asking that some action be taken to prevent a further increase in the height of the lake level. It was first reported that everything was well in hand, but later announcement was made that steps had been taken to lower the lake level and that 14 gates at Menasha and four at Neenah had been opened. The reading on the Randall gauge yesterday was 17 94 inches. NO FLOODS REPORTED No flood conditions have been reported in Oshkosh or in this vicinity, although creeks in the rural areas are still swollen almost to flood stage and any further rainfall may cause considerable damage.

Rainy weather has provided a handicap for construction work under way in Oshkosh. C. A. Ly-neis, job superintendent for the Hutter Construction Company, which is erecting the addition to Mercy hospital, said this morning that that project is already two weeks behind its intended schedule. To show how severely the work schedule has been disrupted by rain, Mr.

Lyneis said that in five days last weak carpenters on the job worked a total of only eight hours. MANITOWOC FIRE CHIEF NAMED CHIEF OF POLICE Manitowoc, Wis.

5. J1 i 4 LAID OH OCT. 2 i Sacred Heart Building Committee Makes Plans for I Ceremony at Site of New Building: The ceremony of laying the cornerstone of the new Sacred Heart church. Sixth and Knapp streets, on Sunday, Oct. 2, will be arranged according to the convenience of the Rt.

Rev. Bishop Paul Peter Rhode of Green Bay, who will be honored guest for the occasion. The congregation's building committee, at a meeting held last right, prepared a schedule of plans for the ceremonial event, but announcement of details will await confirmation by the bishop of the diocese. Construction progress at the new Sacred Heart church has moved briskly, in spite of the rainy weather, and according to Alfred R. Ganther, of the Ganther Construction Company, general contractors, the project is still about two weeks ahead of the originally-planned schedule.

MATERIAL ON JOB Admitting that weather can prove to be a severe handicap, Mr. Ganther said that might be the only reason for any slackening of schedule on the job. All materials steel and stone have been delivered to the site and are available for any pace the construction crew is able to maintain. Erecting of steel was under way last week, and all of the columns have been put in place. The workmen are ready to erect trusses.

Stone work on the superstructure is also under way. Plumbing, electrical and heating contractors have already begun their preliminary work, on a progress schedule to correspond to the advancement of general construction. A new boiler was installed last week in the Sacred Heart school. The unit will heat the school and will also heat the new church when that structure is ready for use.

THURSDAY Sept. 15 Lions club, Hotel Ath-carn, 12 noon. 2,034 ENROLLED AT HIGH SCHOOL Record Breaking Number Re-suits in Additional Problems for Officials High school student population today reached a peak of 2,034, for an enrollment never before duplicated in the history of the Oshkosh High school. School officials have had to cope with many problems of adjustment, in an effort to find a place for everyone. Crowded conditions of former years never duplicated the chaotic situation of the present.

Here are some of the "situations" brought about by the school's extraordinary enrollment: 1. The school library has depleted its stock of books, and call has been isued to teachers for a report on the kinds of textbooks still needed, and the numbers of each. 2. There is a lack of seats. A considerable number of students have no home room desks, and are compelled to keep their books and other belongings in their lockers.

NOT ENOUGH LOCKERS 3. Many of the lockers are assigned to two individuals. The school has approximately 1,300 lockers, which means that over 700 boys and girls are sharing locker space with someone else. 4. The study halls, although larger than ordinary classrooms, are entirely inadequate to handle the students having study periods.

The "overflow" group has been moved to the auditorium, where for at least some periods of the day, the audience is about 300. Auditorium facilities are not entirely suited for study hall purposes, for not all of the seats have armboards, to permit writing. 5. The teacher-load (number of classes and number of students per class) is heavy this semester. The committee on education of the school board is expected to consider employment of one or more teachers, but school spokesmen said it might be as hard to find space for them, as it is to find space for the students in the present crowded setup.

NO ROOM FOR BIKES 6. Adjacent to the school, there are approximately 500 stalls for bicycles. Principal S. D. Fell reported that "at least 150" bike riders are without a parking space for their bicycles.

The "bike population" is more of a problem than ever, because of the school's big enrollment, and also because more girls have become enthusiasts. Formerly, most bicycle riders were boys. It has been necessary to omit freshman participation in assembly programs. A school bulletin today explained the situation: "On account of our increased enrollment it is impossible for all students to attend our assembly programs. Enrollment is 2,034.

and the auditorium seats 700. That would mean over 300 standing at each program which would be impossible." The school has found it necessary to have assembly programs twice, dividing the student body for attendance, but this is the first time that any class group has had to be excluded. PIONEER WISCONSIN LUMBERMAN PASSES AWAY AT WINNEBAGO Charles P. Crosby, 79, a pioneer northern Wisconsin lumberman and resident of Rhinelander, died early this morning at Winnebago. Mr.

Crosby was born at La Crosse, Aug. 3, 1859, the son of William Wheeler Crosby, who served as a major general during the Civil war. General Crosby was one of the first settlers at La Crosse. Mr. Crosby was in the lumber business at La Crosse, Wausau and for a number of years, until re tiring two years ago, operated the Crosby Hardwood Lumber Company at Rhinelander.

He was the first lumberman in Wisconsin to handle hardwood exclusively and sold lumber in every state in the union and in foreign countries. At one time he conducted retail lumber yards in connection with his business. He was a member of the Elks lodge. His wife, who lives at Rhinelander, survives. Other survivors are two sons, Harold Crosby, Madison, who is a representative for the Northern Hardwood and Hemlock Company of this city, and Charles Crosby, Richmond, and three daughters, Mrs.

H. M. Peck, Antigo; Mrs. O. A.

Eklund and Mrs. J. G. Lyons, Washington, D. C.

Spueber went to the barn about 10:30 o'clock this morning, climbed a ladder and hanged himself from a rafter, authorities were told.

The body was discovered by a son of the deceased about an hour later. WAS LOSING SIGHT Members of the family reported Mr. Spueber suffered the loss of his sight in one eye last year and was losing his sight in the other. He was also believed discouraged by the fact that he sold his farm recently and was to abandon the homestead Oct. 1.

Sheriff Paul Neubauer and Dr. G. A. Steele, coroner, investigated. Dr.

Steele said there would be no inquest. Bernard Spueber was born July 14, at Bonduel, and lived in the town of Utica for many years. Survivors are the widow and several children. The remains were taken to Ripon. No arrangements had been made for the funeral.

TOY CONCEDES HIS DEFEAT IN VOTING IN MICHIGAN STATE Returns From Tuesday's Primary Show Ever-Mounting Lead for Fitzgerald, Former Governor Detroit WV-The nomination of Frank D. Fitzgerald as the Republican candidate for governor in Michigan was conceded today by his nearest opponent as returns from Tuesday's primary showed an ever-mounting lead for the former chief executive of the state. With 3,008 precincts of 3,546 reported the totals were: Fitzgerald, Harry S.

Toy, Detroit, former Michigan supreme court justice and state attorney general, Roscoe Conkling Fitch, Ludington, young former newspaper and advertising man, 14,728.

He sought reelection at the end of his first term but was defeated by Murphy. He was born in the small town of Grand Ledge and still resides there. The labor question received much attention in the primary. Fitzgerald campaigned as a middle-of-the-road candidate. "I belong neither to the shoot-'em-down clan nor to the wobbly left," he said.

"I am confident that Tuesday's primary was the forerunner of another and greater victory in November, and that radicalism is on the way out in Michigan." Michigan's nine Republican and eight Democratic congressmen all sought renomination. Three Re publicans and two Democrats were unopposed. Outstate incumbents were victorious in every case. In Wayne county, where returns were slow, the outcome was not immediately evident. Carl E.

Mapcs, Grand Rapids, who has represent ed the Fifth Michigan district since 1913, won bv a landsdile. HOLDS BIG LEAD Luren D.

Wardens of the Wisconsin conservation commission received in structions, yesterday, to start prosecution against any individuals in this locality who have attempted to "anchor" the bogs of floating marsh, in hopes or creating a permanent "shooting blind" for themselves. Albert F.

Dunham and A. C. Chase, Oshkosh wardens, and C. A. Schlumpf, Fond du Lac warden, met here Tuesday with Adolph Kannebere.

of the Wis- onsin public service commission, wnom reponea mat "many complaints have been received" about bog-anchoring in this area, especially in the upriver region. Mr. Kanneberg cited Section 30.02 of the Wisconsin statutes, which says that "it shall be unlawful to deposit any material or to place any structures upon the bed of any navigable water. The state spokesman said that land owners who have driven stakes through the bogs, pinning them to the bottom of the river, have obviously violated the statutes. PROVIDES BIG PENALTY He said that penalty for violation of the statutes in this regard was fixed under Section 31.23 nf the Wisconsin laws, which pro vides that forfeiture for each violation shall not be to exceed $1,000.

The individuals having bogs temporarily moored near their property will not be required to force a removal of the boe. but are advised to "leave them alone." Mr. Kanneberg said that a floating bog will eventually dissolve itself. He said that the eomnlaints have been made in regard to instances where bogL have been steered purposely into sheltered spots, and then anchored by driving long stakes through the bog and into the river bed. SCHOOL ROOF COLLAPSES, AT LEAST FIFTEEN HURT Clarkdale, Ariz.

Mr. Mason, a witty speaker with a wide knowledge of the classics, mentioned personal legal experiences since 1930 and spoke of the present North Shore railroad strike. NOT TRUE DEMOCRACY He drew a comparison in illustrating his point that this country is not a true democracy, nor could it be.

Secy. TO DEFER HEARING ON LABOR DISPUTE TO FIX AUTHORITY Washington (JP) A national labor relations board spokesman said today the board would postpone ruling on a union representation dispute among employes of the Chicago, North Shore Milwaukee railroad until the interstate commerce commission decided whether the electric line came within the jurisdiction of the national mediation board. Under the national labor relations act the labor board's jurisdiction does not extend to railway employes who come within the scope of the railway labor act, which is administered by the national mediation board. The I. C.

C. will settle the question of jurisdiction over the labor dispute, it was learned, when it decides whether the Chicago North Shore Line is subject to the railroad retirement law and the carries taxing act. If the I. C. C.

decision results in placing the line beyond the jurisdiction of the mediation board, the N. L. R. B. will then proceed to determine whether the electric line's employes are to be represented by the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen or the Amalgamated Association of Street and Electric Railway Workers.
