FAIL TO OBEY THE Law.
Many Candidates Liable to Heavy Fines

Many Candidates Liable to Heavy Fines
for Failing to File Expense VAccounts
Fourteen of the candidates at the re-
cent election in Kenosha county have
submitted themselves to liability for
heavy fine through their failure to file
with the Register of Deeds within
month after the election a statement of
their election expenses. The candi
dates who did file accounts are making
a~strong howl against those who failed
to comply with the law and it is posi-
bic that some of these candidates will
ask the District Attorney to take up
the matter and force the de1inquents to
pay the fine prescribed by law.
The delinquents in the matter are
nearly all Democratic candidates and
it seems that the pill of defeat was so
bitter that these candidates forget all
about the election as soon as the result
had been announced. None of the
candidates for State Senator filed ac-
counts in this county. but both of
them fled in Racine comfy and this
will probably relieve them of am liza
bility under the law.
Those who have failed to file SO far
are William S. Haven, James g. Spen-
Ger, Peter G. Stahl, John Schiller,
John T. Tigh, William A. McKesson,
Frank B. Lansdowne, Alvin Fl. Blood,
Joseph A. Biennemann, Albert e. Fox
and Peter Quigley.
No report has been filed of the ex-
penditures of the Democratic County
Committee.
1t is also limited that considerable
complaint is being made on some Of
the accounts filed and it is alleged that
at least one of them contains items
that were never expended. The onei n
question contains the names of large
number of persons for whom drinks
and cigars we're alleged to have been
bought, and the men whose names ap-
pear claim that they never received the
gifts charged against them.

WILL MAKE NO RECOMMEND.

Walter WelIman States That Report of the
Naval Board VIII be Unsatisfactory
Some one has been badly fooled in
regard to the report of the Commission
appointed TO select site for the Naval
Training school, as Walter Wellman,
the correspondent for the Chicago
Record Herald, states that the report
which is now in the hands OF Secretary
Moody, will make no recommendations
ia regard to the selection of site for
the school, but will simply give de-
tailed report of the different sites in
spected and leave the matter in the
hands of Congress to decide on the &C
ceptance of site, or to give the Com
mission further time to look into the
matter.
The Waukegan people have already
claimed that the site had been located
there Milwaukee was dead sure that
it had been named in the report-and
Racine "from semi-ofdcial report"
had been selected through the efforts
of Congressman Cooper.
No one insisted that Kenosha had
been given even look in at the finish,
but it now appears that the chances of
this city securing the school are as
good as those of any city on the lake.
Letters received from Congressne u
Cooper in Kenosha in the past lew
days indicate that the report from Mr..
We1lman is borne out by facts in re.
gard to the matter. The letters from
the Congressman from the First Dist
riot indicate that he is hopeful that the
superior sites offered in Wisconsin will
overcome the influence of Congress
man Foss in the location.
If no recommendation is made to the
department at this time, it may be
several years before the final report is
made by the Commission, and this will
mean long fight in which every city
interested will have an equal chance.
The people of Kenosha have done
little to advance the interests of the
city in its fight for great government
! institution, and all the work that has
been done has been done by Congress-
man Cooper and few outsiders, who
have taken more interest in the matter
than those people who are more vitality
interested. With a second chance the
people should pull themselves together
and make some concerted effort to
show up the advantages which Keno
sha offers as site for the big school.

Old KenOsha Claims Re-0pened With
the Meeting OF New Congress
at Washington
FATHER OF THE CLAIM FORGOTTEN
Attorneys at washington Seem to See New
Chances For the Re-Opening of the
Useless Fight For Fortune

With the advent Of a new Congress
in Washington the attorneys Of the
Capitol city, who make practice OF
pushing claims against the govern
ment, have made an effort to revive
the old Durkee claim and letters are
now being sent to interested parties to
make an effort to have people inter
ested in the claim take it before Con-
gress for hearing. The fact that the
claim has twice been disallowed by a
United States Court and that the
widow of Charles Dnrkee, who is the
only person really interested IN the
matter, long since announced that she
has nothing coming from the govern
ment, seems to have made little differ
ence, and these attorneys with the
convening Of every new Congress Sc
cure the ear of some Congressman
and prepare for fight for the collec-
ton of the claim of Governor Durkee.
That there is nothing in the fabu-
lous claim which is alleged to amount
to nearly hundred million dollars,
has been repeatedly asserted by Mrs.
Durkee, and Governor Durkee in his
life time never gave out any informa-
ton that would lead to the foundation
of the claims that have been made by
people who took up the matter purely
from speculative standpoint.
In the claim, as it is made today,
Charles Durkee, the father of the old
story, is never mentioned and he has
long been forgotten as factor IN
Wisconsin and national politics. He
was always known as Governor Dur
kee on account of the fact that he was
sent to Utah to take charge of the ter
ritoria1 government when the territory
was first organized, but the greatest
political services of Charles Durkee
were given to his adopted State of
Wisconsin.
Charles Durkee was one of the first
residents of Southport. He came to
Southport with the first colony that
left New York State and he remained
in Wisconsin until he was sent to
Utah. His death occurred while he
was returning to his home in Kenosha
after serving for few years as Gov
ernor of the Western territory.
In 1886, when the first Territorial
Legislature Of Wisconsin was held.
Charles Dnrkee was named as the rep
resentative from Milwaukee and he
served for several years as represent
tative of Milwaukee and Southern
Wisconsin in the Legislature. He
took an active part in the events lead
ing up to the admission of Wisconsin
as State and was one of the members
of the first State Constitutional Con-
vention. After the State had been adj
mitted he was elected as the second
Representative in Congress for the
First district. He served in this ca
pacity until 1853, when he was defeated
for denomination. This defeat proved
fortunate one for Mr.. Durkee, for
two years later he was elected United
States Senator to succeed the Hon.
Isaac p. Walker. He remained in the
United States Senate until he was Sc
lected to go to Utah as Governor of
the territory.

VAN LONE DIES AT BELoIT
Former Kenosha Carpenter Met Violent
Death by Falling From Roof.

Former KenOsha Carpenter Met Violent
Death by Falling From Roof.
James VanLone, formerly well
known resident of Kenosha, met with
violent death at Beloit on last Monday
by falling from roof on which he had
been working as a carpenter. The
Coroner's jury which examined into
the facts of the mans death Friday re-
ported that VanLone had come to his
death by falling from the building
while suffering from an attack of con-
vulsions.
The first news received in this city
of the accident was when the Beloit
papers arrived telling of the verdict of
the Coroner's jury.
James VanLone had resided in Ke-
nosha for many years, and was EN-.
ployed here as a carpenter. Fifteen
months ago he went to Beloit, where
he has since resided. On last Monday
morning he was employed by con-
tractor named Hermann, to assist in
re-roofng building, and shortly after
he had gone to work he staggered and
fell from the building. When the men
reached him he had nearly expired.
Doctors we're called to attend him, and
It was found that he had not been
killed by the fall, but had died from
commissions, and was proba bly, in the
last throes of death when he fell from
the roof.
G. d. VanLone, the father of the un-
fortunate man, stated to the Coroner's
jury that his son was subject to attacks
of sudden sickness but that he had
never before lost control of himself.
The remains were buried at Beloit
on Wednesday afternoon. The de-
ceased was forty-twc years of age, and
most Of his life had been spent in Ke.
nosha. For many years he was rail-
way carpenter, and was employed in
the building and repairing of bridges.
He is survived by a father and two
sons, his wife having died here many
years ago.
The announcement Of the tragic
death Of VanLone will come as a great
shock to his many friends in Kenosha.

THE REAL PROBLEM.
Not Are You Prepared to Die but
Are You Prepared to Liver
Says Rev. T. B. Payne.

Yesterday was Rally Day at All
Souls Universalist church, the services
at morning worship following special
order. The pastors sermon, based on
the words Of Jesus, Il came that ye
might have life, and have 1t more
abundantly," was an earnest word for
a more honest and thorough endeavor
to it ones self for living here and
now. Among other things, he said:
For a good many centuries the great
question the church has addressed to
men has been. Are you prepared to dep
Have you made your calling and cleo
ton sure?" This has bred within men
a peculiar form. and one of the worst
forms, of selnshness 1t has taught them
to think primarily of self first.
l submit to you. my friends. has this
not been a putting of the cart before the
horse? If you have studied the life of
the great Master, at all, you must know
that He had almost nothing to say of the
hereafter; He made no appeal to mems
sefishness. But. of one thing TTe did say
great deal. He spake of a fuller, richer,
diviner life than men about HIM were liv-
ing. That life He came to make men ac
quainted with; that life He urged them
to follow; that life lie called men to live.
In short. His question to men was not,
Are you prepared to die? but are you
prepared to lve?'
l want to put the emphasis this morn
ing, dear friends. just where Jesus puts
it. Are you prepared to live? Are you
living the best possible life you can live?
Have you so stored the mind; so diScip
lined the conscience; so controlled the
will that, day by day, life is a greater
joy and privilege to you? If it is not this.
then, you are not prepared TO live, and
need to set more earnestly about your
preparation tn live.
How many people there are who think
to- live, one has only to breathe, eat
sleep, labor He who does that is not
living. He merely exists The animals
do as much as that. How many people
about us simply exist. They touch us on
every side. They know nothing of it's
rich present. They breathe. eat. live,
move, labor They are ruled by ignor-
ance instead of knowledge; by prejudice
instead of right; by hatred instead of
love. Do not tell me, dear friends, that
such live. They do not live. There is
not one, real rich heart throb within
them.
l plead with you this morning to pre-
pare yourselves to live. Live right. and
you will die right. The world needs from
you sweter, holier, diviner touch than
you are giving it. Before that touch
envy, malice hatred, wrong will fly to
return no more.
