Lawrence University May Not
Share In Division of
Cooper Estate.
NEW DEVELOPMENTS COMING
If Mrs. Cooper Elects to Take Portion
Given Her By Law the Univer-
sity May Lose All.

Important developments are ex-
| pected within few days in the settle
ment of the estate of the late Willis
w. Cooper, formerly general manager
of the Chicago-Kenosha Hosiery
works, and it is possible that Law.
renee University will never receive
the amount left to it in the will of the
deceased Kenosha man. It is given
out on good authority that Mrs.
Cooper has been advised by her at
torneys, Quar1es, Spence & Quar1es
of Milwaukee, not to accept under
the will but to ask for the portion Of
the estate that is due to her under
the statutes Of the state.
Since the probate OF the will, and
the appointment of the executor, the
attorneys for the estate and for the
University have been preparing for a
legal fight, and it is claimed that
should Mrs. Cooper elect not to &C
cept the settlement of the estate as
provided in the will, it will be exceed
ing1y difficult for the University to
make good it's claim to the amount
left to it by Mr.. Cooper.
The reading of the will is, in a
way, misleading, and since the Meth
odist Missionary Society has declined
to accept the legacy left by it, it is
claimed that the attorneys for the
University will have a hard time to
show construction of the will which
would make it possible for the court
to assign the half interest in the
estate to the Appleton school. It is
limited that the attorneys for the Mis-
sionary society recognized these diff
culties, and that this in a large meas
ure cause the society to withdraw
from participation in the estate.
Of course if it is impossible to carry
out the requests of the will on ac-
count of the manner of it's reading,
the will would be broken by the court
and the entire property would be
turned back into the court to be di-
vided among the heirs of the de-
ceased.
The settlement of the estate has
progressed. rapidly, and there is now
plenty of money on hand to pay the
requests made by Mr.. Cooper to all
institutions with the exception of the
University, and yet none of these be-
quests has been paid. 1t is not be-
1ieved that the bequest to the Keno
sha Y. M. C. A. will be affected by
the new complications that have
arisen, and it is probable that should
the matter be left to the court the
heirs would agree to have this legacy
paid in full.
No papers in the matter have as yet
been filed in the court, but it is proba-
bic that some decisive action will be
taken during the present month.

IT would not be bad thing to have
a law passed requiring the railroad
companies to file with the railroad
commission, at least once a year, the
names of persons to whom passes, an
nua1 or otherwise, are granted by the
companies, together with the reasons
why such passes were granted. The
first might explain a good many
things. We fancy, moreover, that
the railroad companies would favor
such a measure, as it might tend
to reduce the pass list very materi.

BY A HAIR S BREADTH.
Intoxicated Young Man Saved From
Rolling Under Moving Train.

Last night a young man from either
Winthrop Harbor or Kenosha had a
narrow escape from annihi1ation un-
der the wheels of a moving train, and
had it not been for the presence of
mind of station policeman Mark Nal
10y, he would have been killed.
He was waiting at the depot, intoxi-
Gated. Before the train came in he
ran from one station across coach to
the other, and fell over on the plat
form. Recovering himself, he caught
the 9:35 from the north, and fell
aboard. It started, as it did so he
1urched sideways and pitched head
long onto the tracks, rolling to within
hairs breadth of the revolving
wheels.
Instantly Policeman Ma11oy rushed
out, grabbed him by an arm and leg
and pulled him to safety, whereupon
he wanted to whip the officer. Later
it developed that he wished to get to

Clarence Snyder Seeks to Secure
an Association to Build
Racine kenosha Road.
KEN0SHA PEOPLE PLEDGE AID
Mr.. Snyder States That Racine Will
Build North Half if Kenosha Will
Look After This End.

Clarence Snyder, the former post
master of Racine, who has done much
to bring about friendly relations be-
tween Racine and kenosha, was in
the city Tuesday afternoon and inter
viewed large number of the bust
ness men of the city in regard to a
plan for the formation of a company
for the building of an automobile
road between Racine and Kenosha.
Mr.. Snyder has been feeling the
pulse of the auto owners in Racine
and ne seems convinced that if the
people of Kenosha are willing to take
up the matter the Racine people will
be willing and ready to do their part
to secure the completion of the road.
People who use automobiles claim
that the road between Racine aud Ke-
nosha, along the lake shore, is the
worst stretch of road between Chica-
go and Milwaukee. The present
road is nothing more than pile of
sand, and the auto which p1ows
through it is always forced to lose
vast amount of time.
The building of the road as pro-
posed by Mr.. Snyder would be per-
manent improvement for the two
counties, but at the same time it
would cost large sum of money. It
is possible that the county boards of
the two counties would be willing to
give small amount of aid to such a
project, but the greater amount of the
expense would have to be borne by
private enterprise.
To this end Mr.. Snyder would form
a company which would furnish the
money to build the road, and trust to
the future to secure reimbursement.
The road would probably cost in the
neighborhood of fifty thousand dol
lars but it would eventually become
portion of the Sheridan Drive and in
this way the promoters would be able
to secure a small return on their
money. It is also possible that with
such road an act could be passed
by the Legislature granting to the
builders the right to charge toll for
It's USE Ii SuCI1 d 4dW COu1Q NC OdSSGu
the building of the road would become
an easy matter.
Similar laws have been passed for
other counties in the state and the
proposed improvement would be such
a great benefit to the state at large
that it is more than probable that the
Legislators of the state would be glad
to take up the matter. Mr.. Snyder
received a great deal of encourage
ment from the peop1ein Kenosha who
are interested in the building of the
road and he will make an effort to
have a meeting of the people inter
ested called later in the month to dis
cuss the matter more fully. If the
Racine Sage manages to secure the
building of this road it will stand as
monument to his public spirit for all
time.

IT is promised that the state fair
this year will be one in every way
worthy of the state. It will not be
left to the exhibits alone to make the
fair success in point of attendance,
but special attractions have been pro-
vided for every day, and the fair will
be kept open evenings this year with
new amusement features to draw the
crowds. The fair last year was dis
NAL failure from every standpoint
and a disgrace to the state. Unless
the managers are going to provide
something better this year, it would
be far better to have no fair at all

SUPREME COURT GRANTS ORDER
Warning Republican Factions to Make
Arguments Before Supreme Court.

Warning Republican Factions to Make
Arguments Before Supreme Court.
Madison, Wis, Aug. 9-The Wis
consin Supreme Court issued an
order this morning giving the Stall
wart faction of the Republican party
authority to bring suit against Secre-
tary of State Houser to restrain him
from placing the nominees of the
LaFo11ette ticket on the official ballot
under the regular party designations
Repub1ican-and to compel him to
place the Sta1wart nominees on the
ballot under the party designation.
The court granted the request
without leaving the bench, and the
defendant was given twenty days
in which to answer. The case will
come up for argument on Sept. g.,
when the LaFo11ette faction will con-
test the action.

THE national leaders of the Social
lists announce that they are perfectly
satisfied with LaFo11ette and his doc
trines, and that the party will make
no effort to oppose him in Wisconsin.
This is rather queer support for a
leader who processes to be Repub-
1ican, but it opens the way for the
Governor to get right in with his own
crowd in case the supreme court de-
cides against him.

EBERT rs SIGNED.

"Dottie' Ebert, who played short
stop on the Kenosha base ball team
last year, has been signed to play
with the team for the remainder of
the present season and he will don a
Kenosha uniform on next Sunday.
The coming of Ebert will make sew
eral changes in the team necessary.
Callahan will be sent to second base
and Horn will go out into the field
and one of the fe1ders will go on the
bench. Manager Breen announced
this morning that Bubser would pitch
the game at Racine on Sunday.

The school census does not agree
very we'll with the estimates made by
the directory canvassers, for figuring
on the usual basis it gives the city a
population of only about $4,000. The
directory estimate of 10000 is prob
ably nearer the mark, for the large
number Of young men employed in
the factories would probably make
the percentage of adults to children
higher here than the average for other
cities.

THE project of an automobile road
between Kenosha and Racine is a
good one, but it is unlikely that it can
ever be carried out, unless the 1egis-
1ature grants permission for toll
road. No assistance can be expected
either from Racine or Kenosha coun-
ties, and if the road is built the pro-
moters will have to advance the money
for it themselves.

HERMANN MAY CATCH.

Peter Hermann may again be seen
in a Kenosha uniform on next Sun
day, as Managers Breen and Steinbach
of the Kenosha base ball team are
negotiating with him. Hermann
would undoubtedly add strength to
the team. The Kenosha team has not
as yet secured a pitcher for next Sun
day, but Manager Steinbach stated
yesterday that he would spend a
thousand dollars, if necessary, to get
a team to beat the Racine players.

CLUB FAILED TO MATERIAL1zE.

A call had been sent out for a meet
ing to be held Tuesday evening at
which time the Kenosha followers of
the governor were to form club, but
up to a late hour this afternoon no
one has been found who attended the
meeting and if the club was formed
the members were sworn to secrecy.
One Of the leading followers of the
governor in the city declared that he
forgot all about the meeting. It is
hard to tell just where the meeting
was held and it seems impossible that
any great number of Republicans en-
rolled themselves on the membership
roll.
