LAFOLLETTE FOR THE SENATE
Wisconsin Legislative Caucuses Organ
lied In His Interest, So 1t Is Stated
at Madison,

Madison, Wis, Jan. 11.-Governor
LaFollette in the assembly and senate
caucuses has succeeded in organizing
both in his interest. This is taken as
aiding him materially in his contest
for the senatorship, for he will be able,
If plans do not miscarry, to rush
through such legislation as he has
been working for before Jan. IL, when
the vote for senator will be taken.
The assembly was in his favor by
large majority. The senate was won
by the securing of the otes of three
doubtful senators who were able to
control the situation, and who by Sc
curing the chief clerkship for their
nominee were persuaded to vote with
the governors supporters for the other
officers Of the senate.

Board Of Education Takes Final
Action in Regard to the New
Durkee School.
WILL OBEY STATE MANDATE.
Fire Escapes Will be Built at the Cen
trial School Building at Once-Miss
Stevens is Transferred to Weis-
kopf School ON the North Side

The board of education at it's regu-
lar meeting held at the City hall
Tuesday evening formally accepted
the new Durkee building and the con-
tractors will be paid off and dischar-
ged within the next twenty days. All
of the cost of the building save three
thousand dollars has already been
paid and this amount will be turned
over to the contractors as soon as pos
sib1e. The members of the board are
high in their praise of the way in
which the general contractors Stew
art and Peters of GAINESVILLE have
done their work. The contract has
been carried out to the very letter
and what is most important the con-
tractors did not ask for a single cent
in the way of extras.
The final cost Of the building was
shown to be in the neighborhood of
Sal, 900. There is already a great
c1amor for the purchase of more
ground for the building and it is
probable that this matter will be ia
ken up by the members Of the board
early in the Spring. The ground now
owned by the city is entirely INSULT
cient and some Of the property own
ers in the neighborhood have con-
tracted to sell property to the city at
a reasonable figure.
The board will obey the mandates
of the state department of factory in
spection and the matter Of building
the new fire escape on the Central
building was referred to the commit
tee on buildings and grounds and this
committee will have plans made at
once for the escape and it is probable
that these plans will be presented to
the board at it's next meeting. AS
the board has ninety days in which to
comply with the demands of the. state
board there is plenty of time in which
to get the fire escape, in position.
The resignation of Miss Blanche
Adamson as teacher in the Weis-
kopf school was accepted and Miss
Anna Stevens who at the present
time is teaching at the Deming school
was transferred to the north side
building.
The matter of bonds for the super
intendent and chairman of the board
was referred to the committee on
finance and report on the subject
will be made at the next meeting of
the board. The matter of securing
window shades for the Durkee school
was referred to the committee on
buildings and grounds with power to
act.
After the allowance of the usual
number of bills and the usual routine
business the board adjourped.

Firemen by Decisive Vote De-
eide to Keep Money Collected
From Insurance Agents.
OLD OFFICERS REELECTED
Twelve of the Members of the Depart
ment Are Fined Dollar Each for
Not Attending the Annual Meet
ing.-An Interesting Session.

The disbanding of the Kenosha
Volunteer Fire department and the
return of the 2 per cent collected
from insurance agents to the city are
now dead letters, as the members of
the volunteer department at their an
nual meeting on Monday evening de-
cided by decisive vote of 20 to 19
that the money collected by the treas
urer of the department should not be
returned to the city, but should be
divided among the members of the
different companies. There was no
fight over the long contested PROPOSE
ton and the meeting passed off with
the harmony of a prayer meeting.
Some of the members of the depart
ment had expected that fight would
be made to secure the return of the
money 20 the city, but those who had
favored such move discovered as
soon as the meeting had been called
that they were IN hopeless minority
and the matter was allowed to drop
with nothing buta single ballot.
The meeting was held at the depart
ment rooms and forty-eight of the
sixty-one members of the volunteer
department were in attendance. AS
soon as the absentees had been given
a chance to make good resolution
was passed, imposing the usual fine of
dollar on each of the absent mem
bers, and this fine must be paid be-
fore the men can share in the distri-
button of the money laid aside for the
volunteers.
President George Wallis presided at
the meeting, and much OF the time
was consumed by the reading of the
minutes of the different meetings of
the trustees of the department.
It was nearly 9 O'Clock when the
long expected question of disbanding
was brought up. The resolution was
that the department return to the city
the money which had been collected.
The vote was evidently in favor of
keeping the money, but some of the
men who had urged it's return asked
for roll call and this showed that
the vote was % to 10.
Following this business a reso1u-
ton was brought up to suspend W. J.
Boyle from the Gem Hose company
because he had failed to attend a
meeting. 1t was shown that Mr..
Boyle was out of the city at the time
and the resolution was lost by almost
a unanimous vote. Later in the even
ing Boyle asked that he be made an
honorary member of the department.
The following officers we're elected
for the coming year:
President George Wallis.
Vice President-Chas. H. Goodman.
Secretary Lee S. Vinegar.
Treasurer G. Brown.
Collector Philip Hartman.

THE city would do well to make a
clean sweep all around and install a
new system of bookkeeping when it
moves its Offices into it's new quarters
in the old county building. The city
has outgrown its old methods Of keep
ing accounts. 1t is no ones fault ex-
act1y that the books of the city have
been allowed to get into their present
condition, but it will be someone's
fault if the system is not changed so
that the exact financial condition of
the city is shown by the books now
that the defects Of the old methods Of
bookkeeping have been pointed out.

ELEVEN YEARS TO SERVE
District Attorney Baker Declares That
Brown is Wanted in Indiana.

It is just possible that Thomas
Brown, who is now in the county jail
awaiting trial on charge of stealing
the turkeys of Martin Johnson, will
never be tried in this county. Dis
trict Attorney Baker has received a
letter from the warden Of the Indiana
penitentiary at Michigan City, stat
ing that Brown is thought to be man
paro1ed from that institution. Ac-
cording to the letter, Brown was sent
to prison from Miami county on a
charge of burglary. His original sem
tence was fourteen years, and after
he had served two years he was re-
leased on parole. He has still eleven
years to serve. IF the Indiana officials
SO elect Brown may be taken back to
that state to complete his term of SER

BLOW-UP WAS A FAKE
Supposed Attempt to Destroy the Fred
erick the Great Statue at Washington
Explosive Was Weak.

Supposed Attempt to Destroy the Fred
Explosive Was Weak.
Washington, JAN 1.-THE police in
vestigation of the alleged attempt to
blow up the statue Of Frederick the
Great tends to demonstrate that the af-
fair was in the nature Of a fake, ex-
ecuted with the view Of creating a
sensation rather than Of defacing or
damaging the statue. The investiga
ton shows that the materials used
were incapable Of producing serious
results
The work was done by man who
was driven in a hack from the Penn
sylvania railway to the statue. The
man had small suit case in his hand
and got out at the statue and hung the
suit case by hook on the iron railing
surrounding the statue. Then he got
into the hack again and was driven
away. AS soon as the hack was out
Of the war college grounds the stranger
jumped out and disappeared, although
1t was just a little after noon.
A negro named Ellis saw the suit
case hanging on the railing and smoke
issuing from it, and with long scant-
ling he removed it and threw it a
short distance away, where the expo
sion took place. N 'amge was done
except to crack a lew window panes.
Hereafter there will be a Waterman
stationed at the statue continually.

MUST STAMP ALL RURAL MAIL
Free Delivery Patrons Cannot Control
Their Own Mail Boxes.


Postmaster Frantz has aruling from
the government which will be of in
terest IN every community where the
rural free delivery system is in force.
A rural mail carrier found in a mail
box on his route two letters that were
intended for the owner of the box and
had been put there by someone ii,
passing. The letters were conf1s-
Gated and sent to the government at
Washington, with a request for ru1-
ing: The government approved the
action of the carrier and said that ali
mail found in any box without stamps
or the proper amount of money for
postage must be collected and taken
to.the postoffice from which the route
is operated and held for postage. The
ruling means that the owner of the
mail box has no control over it.
