BEHAIST vows.
Young People Come to Kenosha From
Fond du Lac to Be Married With
Ceremonies of Beha UIIah.
ARE BELIEVERS IN THE FAITH

One of the most unusual weddings
of the year in Kenosha was the mar
rage of Miss Mary "A. E. Parker and
Joseph F. Barrows, two we11-known
young people of the city of Fond du
Lac, which was celebrated at the home
of Mrs. Frederick Knackstadt, on
Dayton street, at four o'clock Tuesday
afternoon.
The ceremony that united the young
couple was that laid down for use by
the followers of Beha U11ah or the
Babists.
The church of Behaists in this cityis
one of the few in Wisconsin, and as the
young couple were believers in the
tenets of the Eastern religion they
came to Kenosha to have the wedding
ceremony celebrated. The wedding
rites according to the ritual laid down
by the leaders of the faith, were read
by the Rev. Frederick A. Slack. The
bride was attended by Miss Della
Knac kstadt as maid of honor and AL
fred Rushton vas the best man.
After the ceremony was over the
bride and groom were entertained at.
an informal dinner and reception.
Later in the evening Mr.. and Mrs.
Barrows left for Winnipeg, Manitoba,
where they will make their home.
This is the second Wedding under the
Behaist ceremony to take place in
Wisconsin.
The announcement will probably
come as surprise to the friends of
the young people in Fond du Lac,
and before leaving for their new home
they asked that notice Of the wedding
be sent to Fond du Lac.

FROM The FAR EAST
PORT ARTHUR STORIES FAKES
No Foundation for Evacuation Talk
Makaroff's Fleet Is Missing-Noth-
ing Sensational Happens.

st. Petersburg, March 16.-From the
highest official quarter the Associated
Press has received information that
there is absolutely no foundation for
the rumorS persiStently sent out from
Toxic that the Russians are abandon
ing Port Arthur. 1T is the veriest
nonsense" said the official informant
Of the Associated Press.
London, March 16.-The latest re-
port from Toxic says that it is be-
lieved there that the Russian Port Ar
thur fleet has left that harbor for
parts unknown, probably Vladivostok.
Japanese scouts can see nothing of
Makaroff's squadron in the harbor al
Port Arthur. All the Russian ships
are inside the harbor noM-if they
have not left, as reported-the Ret
vizan having been toWed in last week,
and it would not be easy to see them
from the outside.
Chemulpo, March 16-A miner, a
citizen of the United States, returning
from the mines at Unsan, was ar
rested north of Ping Yang by Jap
anese ON suspicion of being a Russian
spy. He was speedily released when
his identity was established.
The story that Makaroff had sunk
ships in the entrance to Port Arthur
harbor Is emphaticaly denied at st.
Petersburg.
A correspondent of The Daily Tele-
graph at YinkoW says that the Jap
anese again attacked Port Arthur
March II as a challenge for Vice Adj
miral Makaroff to come out and fight.
The Russian casualties amounted to
800 killed or wounded. The CORE.
spondent adds that this is authentic.

ter and applause he chided the men,
bers Of the house with having started
out to investigate the department, and

That was great coup on the part

casm. He poked fun at the Republicans
for having so readily yielded to the

cation, adopting instead "a miserable

much laughter.
Townsend of Michigan gave notice
of an amendment he would offer to

Department OF Commerce and Labor
Places Large Burden on Sheriff
OF Kenosha County.
SEEKS RECORDS OF PRISONERS.
Complete Record of Every Prisoner Incar
cerated in the County Jail Must be
Returned to the Department.

Sheriff Timme received series of
letters and documents from the Score
tary of the Department of Commerce
and Labor which will have tendency
to largely increase the 1abors connect
ed with the office of sheriff in the
county of Kenosha and which will
revo1utionize the records in regard
ty jail. With the big roll of docu-
ments there is letter which demands
that the sheriff make quarterly re
port to the department giving a COM
p1ete report of every man brought in
to the county jail whether he is SEN
fenced by a court or not. The records
are made SO that when they are COM
p1eted they will furnish a complete
history of all criminals arrested in
the country. The records go deeply
into detail, and they show every pos
sib1e thing in connection with the
man incarcerated. They will show
his place of birth, the names and
nationality of his parents, his occupa-
ton at the time of his arrest, his fine
or the sentence imposed upon him by
the prisoner has been arrested, and
all other information connected with
him. Added to this is another set of
questions which will give complete
description of the man. The descrip-
ton will be almost as complete as
those that are now being made in
larger cities under the Berti11ion sys-
tenn. The description will give the
mans proportions and added to this
they will show any scar or mark that
the man may have on his person.
The sheriff opened his books this
morning and will make an effort to.
keep the records from day to day.
The work imposed on the sheriff by
this addition to his duties is a monu-
mental one and he is thinking of the
advisabi1ity Of employing a clerk to
have charge of the. records. e
The reports of the sheriff show
that since Mr.. Timme went into office
there have been 538 men incarcerated
in the county jail and in other years
the number has been vastly in excess
of this numbers
q The reports will be Of great value
to the police officers in this section of
the country and they will be carefully
indexed and at any time the sheriff
and his assistants will be able to give
a complete history of any one who has
served time in this county.

SPLIT AT ROCK ISLAND


Yates and Lowden Men Hold Separate
conventions and Both Elect Delegates
Cause of the Trouble.
Rock Island, ILL.,, March 16.-The
Republicans of Rock Island county
held two conventions, one dominated
by adherents Of Governor Yates and
the other by friends of Colonel Low
den. On the face Of the returns the
latter had considerable majority Of
the delegates elected, and the split
was due to alleged assumption of au-
thorlty by the county committee to
pass upon the credentials Of delegates
and ad6udicate the pending contests.
Colonel LoWden'S supporters object
ed to this as revolutionary and in pur-
suance Of an alleged plan to unseat
enough of their delegates to give Gov
ernor Yates friends control of the con-
yentlon. The central committee threw
out two LoWden wards in this city
and one LoWden ward in Moline, and
seated the Yates delegations. The con-
ventlon thus organized elected dele
gates to the state, congressional, and
senatorial conventions, and indorsed
the state administration.
The L0wden convention also elect
ed delegates, and adopted resolutions
crltlcising the alleged assessments lev
led upon state employees, and also
crlt1cising the state committee for the
alleged use of party funds to advance
the interest of some particular candi-
date before the convention.

BR1sTow REPORT COMES UP AGAIN

Heading of the Report Is Criticised by
Representatives.
During his remarks Griggs referred
to the recent report of the postoff1ce
department as the "Bristow report"
and this opened up afresh the dis
cussion Of that document which had
brought forth such storm of indigna-
ton from members of the house. He
said that as a member of the COM
mittee he did not see how the COM
mittee could have done otherwise than
to make the report public. "Was there
anything in it which authorized the
committee to print that data under
the heading Charges Concerning Mem
bers of Congress, inquired Cooper Of
Wisconsin.
Griggs said he, of course, did not
indorse that, and it was unfortunate,
Whereupon Overstreet, chairman of the
committee, explained that as soon as
he saw the heading he notified the
government printing Office that it was
not justified by the manuscript. Coop
er sarcastically remarked that he new
er had known the government print
ing office to print anything that was
not in the copy.
Il understand the heading was writ
ten in the postofice department"
Griggs said in reply.
Bartlett OF Georgia said the house
soon would find 0I1t who was rncnnnci
bic for it. Grosvenor suggested that
it would be wise to wait until the
house knew more about the matter,
but Cooper insisted that the report
should not be credited to General Bris-
tow.
