Known Characters Succumbs to Apo- plexy- While Return- ing From Visit With His Sons.. The funeral of former Mayor Henry Ziegenhein will be held Sunday after- noon at the family residences, 3321 South Thirteenth street. Ziegenhein, who was president vf the Lafayette Bank and one of the leading business men of South St. Louis, died of apoplexy on a Broadway car at 10 DP. m., Thorsday. He was returning from East St. Louis, where he had been in a business conference with his sons, Fred and Henry, on a ‘hotel enterprise. Hie was carried from the car by the conductor and: several passengers, who, believing him still alive, sent the body to the City Dispensary, in the old City Hall. The body was sent from the Dispensary to the residence and his daughters, Mrs. H. .. Nietert and Mrs. Charies FE. Biank, the wives of South Side physicians, were summoned. . City officials, former mayors and pub- lie men are expected to attend the funeral, Arrangements as to pallbear- ers and officiating clergymen have not been completed. Born “Out Gravois Road.” Other mayors of St. Louis have at- tained Statewide and even national dis- tinction after leaving the office, but no other was so widely known during the period of his mayorality as was Ziegen- hein. His great sugarloaf hat, the only kind he ever was known to wear, his ‘manner of speech, the despair of writers who tried to quote him and his quaint ‘;apeeches of welcome to visiting organ- izations, helped to extend his fame. Born in St. Louis County, “out the Gravois road,” he was taught German, the native tongue of his parents, and English simultaneously. Throughout his life he fell naturally into German speech and his English was spoken with a German accent. His father, a native of southern Germany, lived to the age of 106. He Kuew Grant. Ziegenhein’s boyhood home was near the Grant farm and he was never hap- pier than when relating how, in the aqays before the war, he and Grant hauled wood into St. Louis together. He served through the war as a mem- ber of the great body of German-Amer- icans whose loyalty kept Missouri in the Union. Though he was not actual- ly in Gen, Franz Sigel’s command, he never objected to having it said that he had “fought mit Sigel.’’ ' After the war he returned to St. Louis and worked at a_i carpenter's bench, From this work he became a contractor, and several of the older large buildings of the city, including Druids’ Hall on- Market street, were erected by him. His first public office was that of City Councilman. Then he was a state legisiater. He was twice the Repub- lican nominee for City Collector -and was elected in 1903 on the Walbridge ticket. His indictment, following the disappearance of a $4102 tax check from the Anheuser-Busch Brewing Associa- tion, was the sensation of the Wal- bridge administration. He was acquit- ted, fought for ‘‘vindicatien’ and got it In the form ef nomina‘ion and elec- tion as Mayor. Addressed Many Conventions. He became mayer in April, 1897, and a year later he moved the city effices from the red brick building at Eley- enth and Market streets to the present city hall, then some eight years in building. The center of the building Was net finished, and remained unfin- ished until some time after. Ziegenhein left office, but the city effices were occupied for the most part as at pres- ent. Of massive frame, with hair begin- ning to turn gray, Ziegenhein-in the early days of his mayoralty was a jov- lal figure, sure of a hearty “hand” wherever he went. He loved to address visiting conven- tions of all sortg, and his unvarying declaration that “your presence is an honor to our city’’ once got him into trouble with certain church organiza- tions, who did not see how an A. P. A, convention could be an honer to the city. .He was fond of reminding dele- gates to conventions of all sorts that she had two telephones and would help any of them out of trouble with the police. James Eads How, then a yeuth, called at Ziegenhein’s office one day to tell the mayor that he had detided to give away the “unearned increment” on his inheritance. He asked the mayor fo act as trustee. The mayor was amazed by the proposal and treated his visitor as a lunatic. Called Dewey “Uncle George.” “I thought,” he afterwards explained, “that he was crasy—one ef these Chris- tian Endeavor fellows, maybe.” The death of Adam — eldest of his nine children, : an Arkansas hunting resort, was a ms from: which the Mayor never recovered. He appointed hig second son, Fred W. Ziegenhein, his secretary in Adam’s place. In 1000 Mayor Ziegenhein welcomed Sire in 8 te St. Louis in a fashion

HENRY ZIEGENHEIN. long _remembered. He was “Uncle Henry” and enjoyed being 80 called and he did not see why the. city’s guest should not be “Uncle George.” The dignified naval heto adapted him- self to the; unexpected situation and the May celebration in his honor was the biggest the city, up to that time, had ever seen. In thé same summer came the street car strike. Ziegenhein’s sympathies in- clined to the strikers and the chief ac- tion which he took during the period of disorder was to head a party which drove through South St. Louis in a wagonette to disprove ‘charges of riot- ing. Was Opposed by Filley, Early in his administration he had broken with his old-time chief, Chaun- cey I. Filley. Thereafter he spoke of Filey only as “old 2700,” a reference to the well known number of “The Mosque” on West Chestnut street, now Lawton avenue. Filley organized the Good Govern- ment Club and assailed the Mayor mercilessly. The fight on Ziegenhein in other quarters grew. It was a fight on the politicians who surrounded him as much as on the genial and personal- ly popular Ziegenhein. But the Mayor’s name, sometimes with the suffix ‘‘ism’’ added to show that a system and not merely an individual was meant, was made the object of at- tack. : Vetoed Boodle Bill. Ziegenhein vetoed the Central Traction bill, which, as afterward proven, was passed by a colossal bribery deal. The Municipal Assembly of 1898 passed it over his veto. As head of the city administration, Ziegenhein: was blamed by the public for the conditions existing in the Mu- nicipal Assembly, although he was not always on good terms with the House and Council. The Council majority ‘thelp up’’ his slate of appointments for many weeks in 1899 and the House of Delegates elected in that year fought with him about patronage. Ziegenhein had a hand in the first organization of ths House of that year, but the organ- ization was soon overthrown and a new one effected, which was not friendly to the Mayor. The delay of this Assembly and its predecessor in passing lighting legisla- tion left the/West End dark for several] weeks in the fall o. 1900. Ziegenhein’s friends afterward said that certain re- marks he made at that time, which the public understood as placing the blame on himself, were an unfortunate in- stance of his generosity toward the men oh whom the blame should have rested. At the fall election of 1898 and the spring election of 1899, the forces be- hind Ziegenhein in South St. Louis stood firm and his tickets won. But in 1900 the opposition gained great strength and the election of that fall, one result of which was the choice of Joseph W. Folk as Circuit Attorney, showed that the city was lost to the Mayor and uis party. The following spring Ziegenhein ac- quiesced in the nomination of George W. Parker for mayor and gave such aid as he could in the campaign, man- aged by Fred H. Kreismann, now mayor, who had been an opponent of Ziegenhein. Parker was defeated by Rolla Wells. ‘ Ziegenhein retired from the City Hall to the presidency of the Lafayette Bank en South Broadway, in which he had been active during his term: His wife died soon after his term ended and his sun, Bugene, died sud- denly in East St. Louis last October. He dropped from public view on his withdrawal from the City Hall, and his principal public appearance since that time was at an Assembly hearing on the bill to grant the World's Fair the use of Forest Park. He opposed this proposal vigorousiy and in later years pointed to the destruction of the park’s landscape as vindicating him in the stand he had taken. Judge Pollard of the Dayton Street Police Court referred, in opening court Friday, to the former. mayor's death and praised him as “an honest man and a goed citizen.”’ . 2.50.

John Slemodomos and Tomasase Le- ves, employed in a Granite City steel mill, reported for work Thursday decked out in aprons made from United States mail bags. .When the indignity to the Government of dressing up in mail bags was pointed out to them, they were greatly alarmed and threw the “aprons” in a furnace, fram which they were rescued by David Edwards, an engineer at the steel plant. The men were turned over to Patrol- man Schmidt of Granite City, who had them held for the St. Louis postoffice inspectors. Inspector Bunsen went to Granite City Friday with Federal war- rants for their arrest. They are now in jail and will be prosecuted by the United States district attorney of Springfield. The. punishment for the offense of mutilating mail bags is a fine of from ,.00 to $300 and imprisonment from one to three years. STORE OPEN UNTIL 9 PAM, SATURDAY!
