GEO. WALLIS is ExONERATED
Charges Made by Patrick Ward Fail to
Hold Water-CounciI Committee to
Investigate Electric Wiring of
City-No Pumping Station.

The Kenosha city council got it's
first estimates on the cost of a mu-
nicipal street lighting plant Monday
night, when the president of the Mil
waukee Engineering Company sent a
letter to the council showing the bene-
fits to be gained by municipal owner
ship, and giving estimates of the cost
Of plant to light the city. The es-
Inmates were based on investigations
made in Kenosha by representatives
OF the company. and it is thought that
they are pretty close to the actual cost
of such plant. The letter shows
that with a municipal plant the light
ing bills of the city could be almost
cut in two. It showed that with a
municipal plant the city could secure
street lights at an annual cost OF
$42. so light, while at the present
time the city is paying for street
lights an annual rental of $78. The
company showed that the cost of the
building of lighting plant in Keno
sha would be $50, $50, and it showed
further that the saving from such a
plant would be so great that the city
would be able to pay for it in com
paratively short time. The company
also showed that with city plant the
city could provide for the heating OF
all of the public buildings, and still
have heat to offer for sale to the gen
era1 public. The letter made a decid
eddy interesting reading, and it was
referred to the special committee or
municipal ownership of lighting
plants, and this committee will look
into the matter and bring in reporr
at the next meeting Of the council.

Wallis Ward Investigation.

The investigation of the charges
brought by Patrick Ward against
City Sexton George Wallis was con-
siderable of farce. The council
really took no hand in the controversy,
but Ward and Wallis were both on
hand and they discussed their differ
ences at length. 1t was generally
conceded that Sexton Wallis had
shown that there was no basis for the
charges brought by Ward, and the
council by unanimous,vote expressed
their confidence in the city sexton.
Ward had charged that Wallis, while
drawing pay from the city, had been
at work in St. James cemetery. The
alibi established by the. sexton was
without break.

for such station but that the
financial condition of the city would
not warrant the making of plans for
such building at this time. It is
possible that when the next ap-
is made this matter will
be taken into consideration and a
special appropriation made for this
purpose.
Market Square Not For Shows.
There was a petition presented from
the managers of the Bijou theatre
asking for permission to erect tent
on Market Square in which concerts
were to be given. The council de-
cided from the outset that Market
Square could not be converted into
show ground and the petition was
laid on the table without discussion.
The attorney for j. L. Stevens sent
notice to the council that Mr..
Stevens would claim damages for
personal injuries received by falling
on defective sidewalk on English
Court on June 4. The matter was re.
ferred to the claims commission with
the city attorney added.
Treasury Has Balance.
The report of the city treasurer for
the period ending June s, showed
that the city had balance in the
treasury of 81, 161.8 8 and added to
this in short time will be revenue
of $32, 500 received from the sale of
saloon licenses. Sixty-three saloons
asked for licenses Monday night and
two more applications are still COM
ing. There were eight applications
for pharmacists licenses.
Mayor German announced that he
had received communication from
Col. Bixby relative to the visit of the
commission to inspect the Kenosha
harbor and the harbor and break
water committee with the Mayor and
city attorney added were named as a
special committee to entertain the
commission on behalf of the city.
After the usual routine business the
council adjourned.

Art Association Getting Busy.

4 communication was presented to
the council by Mrs. George A. Yu1e
president of the Kenosha Outdoor
Art association asking that the
council take some immediate steps to
have the old fence at the cemetery
torn away. Mrs. Yu1e stated that it
was the purpose of the association to
build new fence for the cemetery as
soon as possible. The council showed
every desire to aid the association in
its work and the matter was referred
TO the committee on public grounds
for report at the next regular meet
ing.

One interesting and important
fact contained in the preliminary
annual report of Commissioner of
Internal Revenue, is that the peo-
pie of this country are getting to
use more beer and less whisky.
Mr. Yerkes' report shows that dur
ing the last fiscal year. which end
ed June 30, there was falling off
of about STAT, 900 in the collections
of revenue from spirituous liquors
and an increase of l,251, 457 in
the revenues from fermented
liquors, most of which is beer.
The decrease in spirits is a fraction
of per cent. while the increase in
fermented liquors is over 3 per
cent.

CAN TREsPAss BY PHONE.
Long Distance Breach Of the Peace
Determined by Kansas
City Judge.

The invention of new machinery,
devices, processes, is continually
bringing up new questions of law,
puzzling judges, lawyers and lay
men, soliloquizcs the Philadelphia
Public Ledger. The trolley
brought its problems; TIE sub
marines, when they are used
for commercial purposes will
undoubtedly pose the law
makers; the power of modern
guns on men-of-war has made oh
solete the old three-mile rule as
TO the limit of territorial waters;
and when the balloon shall be-
come a passenger vehicle what
wisdom will frame the rules of the
road or the law of trespass?
just now the law relating to the
telephone is of interest. What
constitutes breach of peace by
phone? Judge Brady, of Kansas
City, has just decided such case
which, by reason of its romantic
connection, appeals TO all. Wal
ter Clark had proposed to maid
en- and had been rejected. He re-
newed the proposal over the tele-
phone; called up the fair one sew
eral times, and was turned
down" He was not dismayed. but
"called" in the morning and in the
afternoon and in the dewey eve,
and sometimes at night. The
doors may be barred and a re-
jected sutton kept out, but how is
the telephone TO be guarded?
Judge Brady took these questions
Under consideration, and ruled
that after a girl had rejected a
man she had the inalienable right
"to have him stay rejected" and
that the use of the telephone
could and should be classed as a
style of Importantly amounting to
a breach of peace.
The theory of the law in these
decisions is this: 1t would be a
breach of the peace if the sutton
should annoy the young woman
with his presence, and the fact
that the telephone was used does
not modify the act nor the respon.
sibility of the person performing
the act. This seems to be good
sense, and an indication thar
when the people of the United
States shall all have universal
wireless connection" a man in
New York who calls an enemy in
San Francisco a hard name bv
wireless" will hold himself liable.
though the costs of prosecution
would be prohibitive.

Will Try for Uniform Divorce
Laws.

On August 3 Gov. Beckham re-
ceived letter from Gov. Samuel
w. Pennypacker, of Pennsylvania,
inclosing copy of the act of the
General Assembly of that State,
passed in March, authorizing the
appointment of a commission to
codify the laws relating TO divorce.
and to cooperate with other States
Of the Union in securing uniformity
of divorce legislation in the United
States. Gov, Pennypacker states
that he has appointed such a COM
mission also to act as delegates in
a Congress suggested by the proyis-
ions of the act should such a Con
gress of several States assemble.
and asks the cooperation of Coy.
Beckham in the matter.
Many of the States have already
taken action and the question will
address itself to the Kentucky
Legislature at the coming session.
The State of Pennsylvania has APP
propriated $40, 900 to defray the
expenses of carrying out the pro
visions of the act to which Gov.
Pennypaker refers.

HOW TO MAKE A BATTERY
Stiff Piece of Paper and a Common
Tea Tray Are All That Is
Necessary.

Cut a stiff piece of paper into
an oval or a circle of nearly the
size of common tea tray. Fasten
to it two upright handles, one on
each end, both made of paper and
attach by means of sealing wax.
says the San Francisco Chron.
icle.
Now, take any common tin tea
tray that you may be able to Dor.
row in the house and lay it on the
top of two glasses. These will
furnish the "insulation."
Warm the paper disk thorough
ly on the stove till 1t is as dry as it
can possibly be. Then lay it on
the table and brush it violently
with a common clothesbrush. If
you spread piece of silk or a rub.
Der sheet under it, so much the
better, though it is not necessary.
The friction has made the paper
electric. Lift it from the table.
lay 1t on the tea tray and approach
a corner Of it with the knuckles of
your finger or with a sharp metal
point. A spark will leap out from
it Immediately.
Now you have an electric bat.
terry in a most simple form. By
rubbing the paper as often as il
loses its electricity it is possible
to get enough sparks to load a Ley
den jar or any other form of small
electric storage battery.
A very simple Leyden jar can be
made by filling tumbler half full
with shot and sticking an iron or
silver spoon into it. By letting the
sparks from the tea tray leap con.
finally to the spoon the tumher
jar finally will accumulate so much
electricity that it will be extreme
ly uncomfortable to get a shock
from il.
