CONFORTI CASEAGAIN
Government Officials Refuse to Drop
the Case Without Examination
Into the Affair.
GIRL MAY YET BE DEPORTED.

1t is hard TO prognosticate the ac-
ton of the United States Government
and this was made plain today when
District Attorney Buckmaster received
letter from the Bureau of Immigra-
ton stating that the Bureau could not
overlook the grave breach of law in
the bringing Of Gelsomine Conforti
into this country, and contrary to re-
ports it is still possible that the young
woman may be deported and sent back
to her native land or at least as far as
the Dominion of Canada. In the letter
today the chief of the department., who
has taken up the case, states that the
girl had been left in Canada for treat
ment and that the treatment was un-
der the direction of the Immigration
officials. Under such circumstances
the chief declares that the bringing of
the girl 20 this country or her coming
unassisted was the greatest possible
breach of good faith on the part of her
friends, as well as fragrant violation
of the law. The chief of the depart
ment stated that he was not necessar-
lily urging harsh measures, but that
the breach of the law was so serious a
one that he could not permit it to pass
unnoticed.
He stated further that he would at
once take up the case in person
and make an investigation into
its merits and that it is possible that
he would insist on the alien being sent
back to the Dominion of Canada.
There is no doubt but that the friends
of the girl are preparing to put up
a big fight and they may send an at
torney to Washington to make fight
before the bureau. The girl is still in
Kenosha.

COOPER SEES HOPE,
Congressman From First District Sees
Good Chance to Secure a Public
Guiding For Kenosha.
NEW AID IS IN SIGHT NOW.
MIR. Cooper In Letter to George "A. Yule
States Fight for Building is Progress
ing Very FavorabIy

After days of waiting Congressman
Cooper has been heard from in regard
to the progress of the bill for the erec-
ton of public building for Kenosha.
In letter to George A. Yule Congress
man Cooper states that at the present
time the outlook for the securing of an
appropriation for the building is very
bright. He stated that he felt positive
that if any appropriations were made
for new public buildings that Kenosha
would be included in the list. The
progress of the bill in the house has
been exceedingly slow on account Of
the fact that great matters have kept
all minor matters in the background
and it will be several weeks before the
house will be ready to take up any
matter as small as an appropriation
for public building. Congressman
Cooper stated that the entire Wiscon-
sin delegation had shown themselves
ve-y friendly to the bill for the build
ing at Kenosha and there will be no
lack of aid on the floor of Congress.
Added to Mr.. Cooper's and Mr.. Minors
support, Congressman ]. w. Babcock,
one of the strongest men in the house,
has in the last two or three days an
nounced that he will take hand in
the fight for the appropriation for Ke-
nosha and with the aid of Mr.. Babcock
the fight will be half won. The bill
will proba bly, be advanced to the sec
ond reading in the house before the
first of the year. There is steady
flow of public building bills in to the
house at the present time but they will
be so far down the calendar of bills
that there is little probability that
they will be considered before the
close of the session. Congressman
Cooper and his associates are already
arranging to bring the whip hand
down on the men from other states
ard they will be forced to support Ke-
nosha if they are to gain the aid of the
Wisconsin congressman in the passage
Of other bills in which they are inter
ested.
In the meantime the harbor hasn't
been forgotten and the appropriation
recommended by Secretary Shaw has
been increased to $500 by the trainers
of the bill for the support of the rivers
and harbors.

THEY GOT THE COON
County Agent Gonnermann and County
Clerk Crosby Have an Exciting Chase.


Clerk Crosby Have an Exciting Chase.
Say, did you ever tree coon and
ward for the aforesaid coon to put In
an appearance? If you did you can APP
preciate little the feelings of County
Clerk Crosby and County Agent Con
hermann today. The two noble sports
men, armed with hunting license
and couple Of rifles, went out to
Pleasant Prairie on hunting expedi-
ton Wednesday. During the after.
noon they sighed for big game and
big game came in the way of coon.
It was an old fashioned coon. One of
those fellows that gets up tree and
stays there until the tree is cut down.
Crosby and Gonnermann decided to
have the coon and they waited for his
lordship's pleasure. When the two
men were nearly frozen the coon came
down, but he managed to get started
across the sluices and the men were
forced to follow him for half mile
before they could get shot. The
coon finally stopped through sheer ex-
haustion and the two men had shot
at him. Two bullets pierced the little
fellows heart aud he was brought back
to Kenosha in triumph by the hunters.
The coon will be stuffed and mount
ed and used as an ornament for the
county building.

North Side Alderman Selected Chair
man Of the Board of Water Com
missioners For Next Year.
PLAN EXTENSIONS FOR NEXT YEAR
Company Will Have Money to Make Many
Additions to Pipe Lines Under the
Control of the Company.

The reorganized Board of Water
Com missi0ners held it's first me citing
Wednesday evening at the Office of the
company in the city hall and Matthias
Greenwald, alderman of the Sixth
ward and mem Der of the commission,
was unanimously selected as chairman
OF the commission. The announce
ment of the election of Mr.. Greenwald
will be received with favor in all parts
OF the city. The new chairman of The
Water Board has been closely con-
nected with the affairs of the city for a
number of years and has always made
good official. He has been member
of the Board of Water Commissioners
for the past two years and has taken a
great interest in the work of the Board.
At the next meeting he will be form
ally installed as president.
At the meeting of the Board We'd
nesday night little was done beyond
the reorganization. Many petitions
were received asking that extensions
of the pipe service of the company be
granted but the Board decided that it
would be unwise to attempt to make
any more additions to the service until
after the cold weather has passed.
Early in the spring work will be
started on two important improve
ments to the mains of the company.
One will be six inch main on Park
street and a similar service will be laid
on Ashland avenue from the end of the
present pipe line to the limits of the
city. The company is planning to
make many extensions next year and
there will be quite little money to
expend in extending the mains.
The power house is now in first
class condition and it is not thought
that it will be necessary to erect a
stand pipe during the coming year.
On account this fact the surplus
funds of the company not needed for
paying the bonded Indebtedness can
all be put into extensions Of the mains.
The report of the superintendent
made to the Board Wednesday night
showed that nearly all the delinquents
on the water tax roll had paid up and
there are now less than thirty of the
customers of the city who are indebted
to the company. This small percent
age of delinquents sets new record
for this time of the year aud it is
thought that every cent due the COM
pany will be collected by the opening
of the year.

MERGER rs STARTED.
Representatives of the Independent
Telephone Companies Appoint
a Committee.
KENOSHA WILL BE REPRESENTED.

The first step to secure merger of
all the independent telephone COM
panies in the west was taken at the
meeting of the representatives of the
independent lines at the Auditorium
Hotel in Chicago last night when a
committee was appointed to have
charge of the work of forming mer-
ger. This committee will necessarily
act with great deal of conservatism
and it will be some days before the
formal plans of the Union are formed.
The work will be started with an effort
to secure uniformity of instruments
in use on the different independent
lines and this will be followed with a
set plan for the union of the business
interests of the various companies.
The Representatives Of the Kenosha
Independent company took an import
ant part in the work of the meeting
and Kenosha will be represented on
the committee to secure the union.
The mem ers of the committee will be
appointed today.
Tie Bell Telephone company is
making every effort to prevent the
merger of the companies and to this
end it is claimed that spy was sent
to the meeting yesterday. He was
promptly thrown out as soon as he was
discovered.
The sentiment of the companies rep
resented at the meeting yesterday was
all in favor of the proposed union.
The Kenosha and Racine companies
plan to unite their forces as soon as
line can be completed connecting the
two cities and it is expected that this
line will be fully in operation by the
date set for the opening of the new ex-
change in Kenosha. After the regular
meeting yesterday the representatives.
of the independent lines in Wisconsin
held a meeting to discuss merger of
the lines in this state. No definite
action was taken but meeting will be
called early in the new year at which
time some action will be taken. There
seems to be little doubt but that all in
dependendent lines in the state will be
united!before the middle Of next year.
