AMONG the members of the Wiscon-
sin State Bar Association L. K. Luse,
of Superior, appears to be the favor
tie candidate for justice of the SUI
preme court. The majority of the
lawyers are for him and the fact that
he comes from the northern part of
the state is going to help him as there
is feeling that that section of the
state should be represented on the su-
preme bench. The vote on the justice
is usually very light and unless the
coming election is an exception to the
general rule, the advantage of 1oca-
ton should give Luse the few hundred
necessary TO win.

THE American Newspaper Publish
ers Association has commenced the
fight against the paper trust by re-
questing the attorney general to in
stitute a suit against any of the three
paper combinations to test the legal
ity of their existence. There is hard
1y publisher in the country who
could not give evidence from person
al experience of the extortions of the
trust and the associations fight
against the common enemy will re-
ceive plenty of backing.

G. 3. Melon Alleged to be From Grand
Rapids, Mich, Issues Forged
Check on First National Bank
MAY BE DANGEROUS CRIMINAL.
Melon Failed to Get the Money Desired and
Grand Rapids Bank Promptly Re-
pudiates Forged Paper.

Pinkerton detectives in all parts of
the country are making an effort to
| locate man giving the name &c. B.
Melon" who is wanted in this city on
a charge of attempting to pass a
forged check at the counter of the
First National Bank week ago yes
terday. Melon is thought to be one
of the most dangerous forgers now
travelling about and it is feared that
many banks not so careful as the
bank in Kenosha may be caught by
his game.
Melon came to Kenosha two weeks
ago and claimed to be representa-
tive Of firm in Grand Rapids known
as Furniture City Vice Co. Limited.
He stopped at the Eiche1man Hotel
and as his stay in the city was draw
ing to close he approached the pro-
prietor of the hotel and asked him to
cash a check which he alleged had
been forwarded to him to pay his ex-
penses. The proprietor, looking the
man over, decided that all was not
right so he told him that the hotel did
not make a practice of cashing checks
and sent him to the bank. 1t was
after closing hours but Melon manag-
ed to get into the bank and asked
Cashier Charles C. Brown to cash the
check for him. Mr.. Brown was struck
by the appearance of the man and he
at once secured possession of the
oh AN1x rs
work. It is evident that the man had
in some way secured possession of
stationary used by the Grand Rapids
company and he showed the cashier
all sorts OF correspondence between
him and the company. But Mr..
Brown was not satisfied and taking
the check he told Melon that he would
have it forwarded at once to the clear
ing house and if the check was good
Melon could get the money in a short
time.
Melon left the bank and at once
left the city. On the following day
the check was sent to Grand Rapids
and it came back with the stamp of
Forgery upon it. The check had
been signed by George Clark as treas
urer of the company which Melon
claimed he represented.
AS soon as the officials of the local
bank received the check the forged
paper and all the correspondence in
regard to it was forwarded to the
Pinkerton bureau. Had the Grand
Rapids Bank te1egraphed an answer
to the First National of this city it is
very probable that Melon could have
been captured but the loss of time in
getting on the trail has probably made
it possible for him to get away.
Melon left his hotel bill unpaid
and it is probable that several other
bills about the city await his return.
Thus far no trace of the man has
been found but warrant for his ar
rest will be issued as soon as he is
discovered.

IF all automobiles had the good
sense of the Milwaukee automobile
owners the sentiment against the
machines would soon be thing of
the past. The Milwaukee automobile
club has prohibited road racing and
laid down rules for the guidance of
it's members which make the use of
automobiles safe not only for the au-
tomobi1ists themselves but for all the
other users of the public highways.

WIFE ABUsER HEAVILY FINED

Carl Hansen Must Spend Thirty Days In
Jail for Abusine His Spouse.
In Justice Sturges' court this morn
ing Carl Hansen, we'll known Danish
resident was fined twenty-five dollars
and costs for abusing his wife. Han
sen was arrested on the complaint of
the wife on last Monday, but he failed
to show up in court on the day set for
the trial. He was arrested again this

showed that Hansen had treated his
wife in a shameful manner. The man
has gone to Jail, not having the money

CONGRESSMAN Foss has asked for a
million dollars for harbor of refuge
at Waukegan. There is nothing mod
est about the chairman of the commit
tee on naval affairs when his district
wants anything. Kenosha will be
perfectly satisfied if by some lucky
chance she can get the few thousands
needed to make the extensive improve
ments already put in here of some
use. And the tonnage of the port
will have to increase wonderfully be-
fore she stands much chance of get
ting anything more.

HE MAY NOT RETURN.
Prof. Robert DiCkie, the Popular High
School Teacher, May Not Re-
turn to KenOsha.
MISS MOULTON TO SUCCEED HIM.

The Board of Education has been
notified that Prof. Robert 3. Dickie,
the teacher of science in the High
school, will not return to Kenosha
during the present term, and it is pos
sib1e that he may give up his work in
Kenosha until the opening of another
year. Mr.. Dickie was called to North
Freedom recently on account Of the
death of his father, andatheE arrange
nlents of the estate will demand that
he remain there for some time.
The schools of the city will miss
Mr.. Dickie greatly, but thesvacancy
in the teachers staff has been tempo
rari1y filled by the employment of
Miss Grace Mou1ton, of Chicago, who
will take charge of the work until
such a time as Mr.. Dickie can.return.
Miss Mou1ton has taught inEthe Ke-
nosha schools during the past few
weeks as a substitute for. Miss Jeni-
son, and she is a splendid teacher.
She is a graduate of Northwestern
University and has had considerable
experience as teacher.
The loss of Mr.. Dickie will be felt
in Kenosha during the early months
of the spring. He is one of the best
teachers ever emp1oyedsfor the Keno
sha pupils, and added to this fact he
has taken a great deal of interest in
the athletic work at the school, He
has always been in charge of the track
team in the spring, and some one will
have to be employed to take his place
with this work
Prof. Hooking is the popular choice
of the boys, and he will probably take
the work of Mr.. Dickie in this line.

WARSHIP WILL

Cruiser Yankee May Go to 18th

Insects.
Special to The Journal.

Philadelphia, July 1.-Against an
enemy whose fighting forces number
billions-the mosquitoes of Panama
the auxiliary cruiser Yankee, now at
League Island. may be called upon to
wage a war that will be relentless.
DR.. j. Newman Kahl, naval sur
geon,- attached to the department in
Washington, visited League Island
yesterday and stated that the authori-
ties at the capital proposed to wipe
out the mosquito and make sanitary
the way of the army Of men who will
shortly invade Panama to build the
canal.
The weapons of offense will be oil,
filters mosquito netting and knowl-
edge Of drainage. The conquerors
will consist of battalion Of husky
marines, most Of whom may be
picked from League Island barracks.
DR.. Kahl said that the mosquito
and not the climate of Panama Is the

source Of all sickness there. BY in
oculation the mosquitoes spread ma
larial fever, yellow fever, elephantiasis
and other diseases. The surgeon eX-
planned that the government realized
that If precautions were not taken to
destroy the insects the health Of all
the canal workers would be menaced.
1t will not be a hard matter, he said,
to drain the country and when this
was impossible the danger from the
pests could be minimized by the use
Of kerosene Oil.
