CAPT. HIS. READ DEAD
Pioneer Sailing Master of Keno
sha Died Suddenly at
HamIin Lake, Mich
DEATH DUE TO HEART DISEASE


kilograms received in this. city this
morning announce the death of Capt.
Henry S. Read, better known in Keno
sha as Captain "Cub" Read. He
died Tuesday evening at his summer
home at Hamlin Lake, Mich, as re-
suit of an attack of heart disease. He
had been in the best of health, and
his sudden death will come as great
shock to his friends. The. remains
will be brought to Kenosha on Friday
morning, and interment will take
place at the family plat at thelKeno-
sha city cemetery.
Captain Cub Read was one of the
most unique characters of the earlier
marine history of Kenosha. He was
born sixty-fve years ago at Pillar
Point, near Sackett Harbor, New
York. In the early forties with his
brother, George w. Read, he came
west and the two settled at Kenosha.
The brother was at one time one of
the most influential vesse1men on the
lakes, and Captain "Cub" Read was
his right hand man. Captain Read
sailed many boats ont of Kenosha in
the early days, his last work in this
harbor being in the employ of the late
Lewis Balm. Twenty years ago Capt.
Read gave up the lakes and removed
to Ludington, and later he opened a
hotel at Ham1in Lake.
Just before removing to Michigan
he was married to the widow of his
brother, Mrs. Jennie Read, and she
with two sons, Fred and Harry, both
of Ludington, survive.
Captain Read was a great favorite
among the earlier settlers of Kenosha,
and the announcement of his death
has caused great sorrow in the ranks
of these early timers. Captain Read
was one of the hale old followers of
the sea with heart almost as big as
his body, and he always had kind
word and pleasant smile for all.

kenosha is Flooded With a Sup.
ply ofCigarette PaperSufficient
for More Than a Year
EVEN OFFICIALS GET SUPPLY
Papers Are Sent Out by a New York
Firm and Card Enclosed States
That There Are More Where
These Came From

There is no scarcity of cigarette
material in Kenosha today, and if in
the past the boys have suffered for
the want of the ''makins" their suf-
terings are over for many months at
least, for Tuesday the city was
flooded with cigarette papers. They
came in by mail from New York, and
the mammoth bags received at the
postofice contained more than 200
pounds Of nothing but cigarette pa
pers. They were sent not only to
smokers, but to every one whose name
appears in the city directory under
the first letters of the alphabet, and a
second shipment to take care of those
missed yesterday may be expected
today.
The papers are sent out for the sole
purpose of evading the anti-cigarette
law recentlylpassed by the Wisconsin
Legislature. All of the parcels of
papers were mailed from New York,
and the Wisconsin authorities could
in no way stop them from being
delivered to people in Kenosha so
long as the postage on them is paid.
The clerks at the postofice were kept
busy for more than two hours dis
tributing the cigarette papers. It
appears that no one whose name be-
gan with A, B, OF C, was missed. The
papers were addressed to ministers
of the gospel, to court officers and
even to the rabid members of the
Kenoshs. branch of the Wisconsin
Anti-Cigarette league. The people
took them from the office and threw
them about the streets and the small
boy who has found it impossible to
secure the papers in Kenosha stores
hung about the postoffice and went
home with his pockets overlooking.
This free distribution of cigarette
papers is to be continued so long as
the Wisconsin law is enforced, for in
the envelopes containing the papers
was enclosed card which stated that
the company would be pleased to

WILL NOT GET MUCH
Income of Charles Rogers Will Not Ex-
ceed:$2, 500 Year

The income of Charles Rogers, son
of the 1ateS'Daniel G. Rogers of Mil
waukee, who has just been divorced
from his wife, Daisy B. Rogers, will
apparently not exceed So, 5OOa year.
Under the provision of his fathers
will it has been currently reported
that he would fall heir to a great
estate in the event of his obtaining a
divorce from his wife or she obtaining
a divorce from him.
The will of Mr.. Rogers provides
that upon the death of his widow GER
tain provisions of the will shall be
carriedlout and the income of certain
sums be paid to his children, among
them Charles Rogers. It says: eff it
shall appear that my said three child
ren's previously named) share of the
income shall exceed the sum of per
cent of $4,000, then the said surplus
shall be divided between the four
children. In the event of the death
of either the share goes to the other
living heirs"
Under this provision the income
will probably not exceed per cent of
$4,000, as the appraisal of the estate
showed it to be worth about $3.50, 900 or
$40, 600.
The paragraph in the will which
created so much comment is as
follows: II direct, that my son,
Charles Rogers, shall not have or re-
ceive any part or portion of said in
come as aforesaid so long as he shall
remain the husband of his present
wife excepting only the sum of Sc per
week, to be paid to him half yearly
personally, if my trustee shall deem
it necessary for his individual sup
port, and not otherwise.

Mrs. z. G. Simmons, Jr. Will Not
beAbIe to Handle Arrangements
forFederation Convention
MRS. CAvANAGH TO CONTROL
Executive Committee Meets on Mon
day Afternoon and Makes PreIim-
mary Arrangements for Coming
9of the Big Convention
40 9h

Mrs. Il. G. Simmons, Jr., president
of the Kenosha Woman's club, who
was recently injured in an automobile
accident, has found that it will be
impossible for her to personally SUI
pervise the arrangements for the en-
tertainment of the annual convention
of the Wisconsin Federation of Wom-
ans Clubs, which is to be held in this
city the last week in October.
At the meeting of the executive
committee, held on Monday afternoon,
letter from Mrs. Simmons was read,
in which she directed that the active
management of the local arrange
ments be turned over to Mrs. James
Cavanagh, who is the acting chair
man of the committee. Mrs. Simmons
in no way withdraws from the chair
manship of the committee, and
she will do all in her power to aid athe
other members of the club in M <
the arrangements, but her mir mas
proved to be so serious tn it is
feared she will not beyab1e to come to
Kemosha for some weeks, and even
then she will probably be too weak to
take up the arduous work of manag-
ing the big convention.
Mrs. Simmons will prepare the ad-
dress of welcome to the delegates,
and it will be read at the opening ses.
sion of the club meeting either by
herself or by Mrs. Cavanagh.
The meeting on Monday afternoon
was the first meeting of Importance
and the committee is now hard al
work completing the arrang ements
It was decided that the Baptist church
will be used for the meetings of the
convention and the church will also be
used as the general headquarters Of
the club members during the meeting,
The Simmons library will also be
used for the committee meetings anc
| for the entertainment of delegates
from other cities. The program has
not as yet been prepared but the ar
rangements of the local committee
are almost complete. It is expected
that the delegates will begin to arrive
on Tuesday evening of the conven
ton week and they will be informal
1y received at the church.
| Following the custom of other years
Wednesday evening will probably be
Presidents Night" and it is prob
able that musical entertainment will
be given that evening under the di
rection of the musical committee ap
pointed by the local club. Mrs. A. Fl
Lance is the president of this com
mite. On Thursday evening will be
held the reception to the delegates
and to the members of the Kenosha
club at the home of Mrs. A. H. Lance
on Prairie avenue. This will be the
social event of the convention. Friday
evening will probably be given over
to literary entertainment, at which
Miss Ham1in of Wauwatosa will be
the chief entertainer,
Letters received from the secre
taries of different clubs in the state
indicate that the attendance at the
Kenosha convention will be the 1arg

ONE thing is certain, and that, is
that no railway company preparing
for fight on its assessed valuation is
going to take any figures from Keno
sha county on which to base an argu-
ment for a reduction in its assess
ment. The percentage of assessed
valuation to actual value must be as
high in this county as anywhere in
the state, and a good many taxpayers
are firmly convinced that it is good
deal higher here than elsewhere. If
that is the case we are getting the
worst of it for living up to the law.

IF the insurance department of the

big insurance companies doing bust
ness in that state, who have admitted
on the witness stand before the legis-
1ative Investigating committee that
they "hxed" a report called for by

will give the advocates of federal con-
troll of insurance another powerful

cites, or the. friends of such people if
their names could be furnished.
Some smokers object to the use of
the cheap papers that are given away
by the big companies and these peo-
pie will be supplied with the French
papers if they so desire and at the
price which is the same as charged
in local stores before the law went
into effect. AS there is no bar on the
sale of cigarette tobacco this plan for
the distribution of papers seems to
have opened the way for an
evasion of the law that cannot be
stopped by the officials. All admit
that the state has no right to inter
fere> with the delivery of United
States mail and the New York COM
pany can continue to send papers
into Kenosha so long as it proves
profitable to the company.
1t would, however, be possible to
prosecute people who receive the
papers and give them to their friends
but it is hardly possible that the ofic-
ials of theslcounty and state would
bother themselves with such prosecu-
tions. The anti-cigarette law is like
good many other laws on the Wis
consir statutes for it is repeatedly
violated in all parts of the state and
the records show that not single
violator of the law has been prose-
cnted

PARTIES who are complaining of
the open gambling going on at the
different picnic grounds in the vicin-
ity of the city, should make their
complaints to the officials of the diff
ferent towns of the county in which
these amusement resorts are located.
The Kenosha authorities have moth
ing whatever to do with these places,
as they are entirely outside gof the
jurisdiction of the local police force.
The county officials are the ones upon
whom the responsibility rests for
allowing these games to run wide
open Sunday after Sunday, and they
are the ones who will have to take
action to close them up if any action
is to be taken. The Kenosha police
force has enough to answer for with
