MUST ACCEPT FIGURE S.
Boards of Review Have no Authority to
Change Assessors..Figures.

The State tax commission at meet
ing held at Madison issued state
ment of instruction to boards of re-
view IN which the boards are ordered
to accept all statements of valuations
Of property as submitted by local as
SCISSORS. Changes are to be made in
the valuationssonly when evidence is
brought out that the assessors state
ment is incorrect. The following is
quoted from the board rules: "Under
present laws the board has no author
ity to change values except upon evil
dence produced before them"
After citing Supreme court decisions
to substantiate the rule the tax COM
mission says in part in it's statement
issueL today:
"Arom the foregoing it is plain that
the board of review has no authority
without evidence either to increase or
lower the valuation of property made
by the assessor In other words the
valuations as fixed by him are binding
and conclusive upon the board of re-
view until evidence has been given to
the board from which it Isl satisfied
that the assessors valuations is too
high or too low.
. ''The board cannot lawfully act upon
rnsworn statements sof property own
ers, for such statements are not evil
6ence. For the like reason the mem
bers have no authority to substitute
their own judgment for that of the as
SCISSOR and change valuations accord
ingly. 1t has been the practice in
some localities for boards of review to
change the valuations as fixed by the
assessor upon personal knowledge and
Judgment without sworn testimony or
other lawful evidence. Such practice
is in violation of law and cannot be
sustained"

FAMILY ROW CAUSES STIR.
Mrs. Gustav PaschIxe Declares That Hel
Husband Attempted to Kill Her.

Mrs. Gustav Paschke Declares That Her
Husband Attempted to Kill Her.
The family troubles of Mr.. and Mrs.
Gustav Paschke caused no end of ex-
element among the people residing on
West Park street Tuesday, and
two policemen were called to the dis
trict on account of the alarming
rumors sent out. 1t is alleged that
Mrs. Paschke was seeking a divorce,
and that morning she removed her
clothing and other effects from the
house and went to the home of her
mother. Shortly after ten O'Clock
Paschke, who is employed as driver
for the Kenosha Lumber company,
went to the house to see his wife.
Some words ensued and the wife
rushed into the street and declared
that the husband had threatened to
kill her. A call was sent to the police
Office and Chief Timme and Officer
Leik responded. There was no need
of an officer as the husband had left
the house before the officer arrived.
Paschke denies the entire story as told
by the wife and claims that he made
no threats and that he was absolutely
unarmed when he went into the
house.
1t is understood that the SUNNI ons in
a suit for divorce will be served on
Paschke at once.

Kenosha and for the past seven years
superintendent of the Wisconsin divi-
sion of the North Western Railway
company, has been advanced to the
position of assistant general superin-
tendent of the great Northwestern sys-
tenn. He will accept the duties of his
new Office on July 1st. The announce-
nent of the advancement of Mr.. Law
son will be source of satisfaction to
many people in Kenosha, for there is
no point on the whole Northwestern
lines where Mr.. Lawson is better
known or better liked than in Keno
sha.
Since he has been in charge of the
Wisconsin division MI. Lawson has
always had his eye open for Kenosha
and it was largely through his efforts
that the company consented to make
the repairs at the Kenosha station.
With Tom Lawson at the head of the
railway Office the people of Kenosha
can rest assured that the city will be
properly looked after.
MIR. Lawson has been the superin-
tendent of the Wisconsin division of
the Northwestern road, with head
quarters in Chicago, for the last seven
years, and before that he was the as
SiStant superintendent of the ga me III.
vision. He is a railroad man of long

close attention to his duties. He is
native of this state. having been born
in Mineral Point, Wis, in 1861, and is
Al years of age. He attended the pub
lie schools in Baraboo, Wis, and the

Chief of Police Timme Warns Dealers
Against the Sale of This Danger
Gus Weapon For Boys.
THE FOURTH TO Be MORE QUIET
Dealers Found Selling Pistols to Boys and
Boys Found With Them Will Be Pun
ished to Full Extent of the Law.

Young America in Kenosha will be
forced to forego one of his chief sources
OF pleasure at the coming celebration
of the Fourth of July in Kenosha as
this morning Chief of Police Timme
sent an order to every dealer in fire
works in the city prohibiting the sale
of toy pistols to boys.
The order will go even further and
the boys who have saved the pistols
from last year will not be allowed to
use them to celebrate the nations
birthday. ia his order to the dealers
Chief Timme states that the sale of the
toy pistols is against the State law
and that the law will be rigid1y en-
forced. The law provides a heavy fine
for the parties found guilty of the vio-
lation as we'll as for the minors found
with the toy pistols in their posses.
sion. An examination of the statistics
on Fourth of July accidents shows that
IN many Of the accidents the toy pistol
has been responsible for the loss of
eyes, for bad powder burns and in some
cases IN the loss OF life.
The toy pistols now being offered for
sale are not of the old paper cap vari-
ETY. but they are made in the form of a
cheap revolver and special blank car
fridge provided for use in them. AS
the weapons are made for cheap trade
they are made in such a manner as TO
be very dangerous and the boy is for
tunate who manages to fire a pistol all
day long without having the weapon
explode and in jure him. The order is
not regarded with favor among the
dealers in fireworks as many of them
have on hand a large stock of the pis-
tolls and had expected large sale of
them.
The Fourth OF July will probably be
rather quiet ard the FIRE works display
will be largely Of private nature.
The police are planning to keep close
watch to see that the boys do not get
too boisterous and while the toy pistol
is the only instrument of noise SO far
placed under ban it is probable that
cannon frecrackers will not be to1er-
ated to too great an extent.
The police department has no inten-
ton OF checking the patriotism of the
boys of the city but these precautions
are being taken for the sole purpose of
preserving the lives and limbs of the
celebrators.

Pitcher of KenOsha Base Ball Team
Knocked Senseless on Diamond
Sunday Afternoon.
AN EXCITING TEN-INNING FIGHT
Kenosha Athletics Defeat the Chicago
Jefferson Grays by a Score of to 4.
Lamont's Injuries Excite Interest.

Edward Lamont, pitcher for the Ke-
nosha Athletics base ball team, was
seriously injured during the game be-
tween the Kenosha team and the JEFF
ferson Grays at Grand View park Sun
dav afternoon. LaMont was at bat
when Spang1er, the pitcher for the
Grays, made a wild pitch and although
the Kenosha man made an effort to
dodge the ball it struck him IN the left
temple breaking the drum of the ear
and causing a bad wound. Lamont
fell to the ground unconscious and as
soon as possible he was removed from
the field and taken to his room at the
Eichelmau Hotel, where DR.. William
Pugh was called to attend him.
The game between tie Grays and
the Kenosha team was one of the most
interesting ever seen on The local dia-
mond, and after ten ir n1ng struggle
the Kenosha team won out by score
of FIVE to four. It was popular VIC
tory and the fans, who were out IN
large mum bers, applauded the v1cto1-
1OuS h6nOSnd team " tAAS SSAAO'
Freitag, pitcher for the Kenosha
team, put up strong game, allowing
the visitors but seven hits. Spangler,
the pitcher for the Grays, was an easy
mark and the Kenosha men secured
fifteen hits. The trouble was that the
hits did not come at opportune times.
The Grays started the ball rolling IN
the second iuning and brought in a
run. In this inning ~LaMont was in
iured and this took theysginger out Of
the Kenosha players to such an ex-
tent that they were not able to score
until the fifth. After the fifth inning
the runs came along in steady column
and at the end of the eighth the Keno
sha team had tied the score.
In the ninth the2'home team had a
chance to win the game but even after
a hit and a two Dagger had been made
the side was retired without the Gov

SENDS OUT TUITION BILLS.
Superintendent Baker VIII Collect S665 go
From Towns For Scholars Tuition.

superintendent Baker VIII Collect S665.5O
From Towns For Scholars Tuition,
Superintendent of Schools Norman
L. Baker this afternoon sent to the
town boards of the different towns in
the county the bills for tuition of the
country pupils attending the city
schools. The amount for the year
for the High school pupils alone will
be S665 so. The town of Pleasant
Pfairie will be forced to pay the larg-
est amount, the total for this Gown
being S369.5O- Each pupil in the High
school who comes to the city from the
country to secure an education is
forced to pay $40 per year, but the
amount is collected from the town of
which the pupil is a resident rather
than from the pupil in person. The
town of Bristol is second with a bill of
S21O; Somers was third with S48, and
Salem fourth with $50. None of the
other towns in the county had students
in the city schools.
While the amount collected for tut
ton this year is about the same 5 last
year the fact that the State Legisla-
ture had reduced the fee for pupils
from S25 per month to $500 has re-
duced the revenue considerably. The
number of country pupils attending
this year is larger than ever before.

TO REPAIR THE OUTLET.
Indiana Street Sewer Will Be Repaired az
Soon as Materials Arrive for Work

The people residing on Durkee
avenue in the neig borhood of KEN
per Hall will be pleased to learn that
the outlet to the Indianasstreet sewer
is to be repaired and the material for
the repair work is now ordered.
The heavy seas have almost COM
pletely destroyed sthe outlet to the
sewer and for a time It was thought
that the city would be forced to ex-
pend large sum in putting in new
piles for a new outlet, but a plan has
been found whereby the outlet may be
repaired by the laying of large iron
pipe. 1t Is thought that this work will
be of little expense to the city, and yet
it will place the sewer in first class
condition.
