NO FIGURES GIVEN
But Buildings Committee Will
Place an Appropriation in
Omnibus Bill for Kenosha
FIGHT NOW LIES in CONGRESS

The committee on government
buildings of the House of Represen-
tatives met on Friday afternoon to
fix upon the amount to be appro-
priated for the erection of public
buildings in the different states of
the Union during the coming year,
but no action was taken beyond fix
ing the aggregate sum, and it is pro-
bable that the amount demanded by
the various cities will be named in
the bill and the congressman will be
forced to fight for the appropriations
on the floor of the house.
Congressman Cooper, Congressman
Minor and several other Wisconsin
members appeared before the commit
tee, Cooper asked an appropriation
of SIS, 900 for building in Kenosha,
and a similar amount for a building
in Be1oit. All the demands of the
congressman were tabu1ated by the
members Of the committee, and after
the session was over it was announced
that the omnibus bill would demand
appropriations to the amount of $751;
100000. This large amount may en-
danger the passage of the bill, as
many of the members of congress will
be unwilling to vote for SO large an
appropriation for public buildings.
The bill as originally prepared car
ried but $40, 900 for Kenosha, and it is
possible that this will be the amount
appropriated. 1t is generally con-
coded among the members of the COM
mittee that if an omnibus bill is
passed at all it will carry some APP
preparation for this city. For the
past eight years the Wisconsin repre-
sentatives in both the house and the
senate have been pounding away to
secure this appropriation, and the
committee has recognized the justice
of the claims of Kenosha.
Should the appropriation for site
be made the rest will be easy, but it
may be several years before the money
for the completion of the building is
appropriated by congress. The bill
will be sent to the house within the
next few days.

TO CHANGE POLICY
Interesting Changes are Being
Made in the Industrial Af-
fairs of Zion City
THE MANAGERS WILL LEAVE

The reorganization of asindustria1
affairs at Zion Citysis still going on
and the past week has witnessed de-
velopments which will be of specu1iar
interest to those who are watching
he city as sociological experiment.
Heretofore all private.business ven
lures within the city have been.either
wholly prevented or e1se,1so closely
restricted as to destroy.a1l competitive
effect which they might have on con-
Germs operated by the church.
Mechanics were prevented from TAX
ing contracts involving stheS employ
ment of other men andseven amateur
photographers were' prevented from
competing with the Zion gallery.
During the past week gthis has been
materially changed.
The photograph gallery, the soap
factory, the greenhouse and the nur-
sery have been leased to individuals
and will henceforth be operated as
private concerns. All the farms here
tofore worked by the Land and In
vestment association are being rented
out to independent farmers1and other
departures are to be made along the
same line.
Frank w. Cotton, manager of the
hotels, and Williams RBrothers, who
have had charge of the photograph
have resigned andsare 1eav-
ing the city. Deacon;C otton.has been
manager of all the zionshospices and
divine healing homes since the early
days of Zion and was one of DR..
Dowie's bodyguard during the days of
his persecution in Chicago.
Judge Barnes Saturdayesaid the re-
organization was proceeding.as rapid
ly as possible and that the'triumvirate
was pleased with the progress al
ready made. "Prac tica1ly ali of the
industries now retained by Zion are
on paying basis" he declared, ''and
1t is our intention to keep them there.
We propose to waste no money on un-
certain schemes, but each concern
must show balance of profit or it
will be closed down.
Leaves of Healing is still one week
behind its date of issue. 1t is an
nounced that the paper is to be re-
duced to sixteen pages and that all
free lists and special rates have been
abolished.

FINDS UNUSUAL CASE
Humane Agent Finds a Woman Who
Refuses to Leave Her Bed

Humane Agent ]. H. Karnes has
discovered a most unusual case out
near Anderson's park, in the way OF a
woman, who has steadfast1y refused
to leave her bed since Thanksgiving
day. The woman is physically well
SO far as the physicians of the city
can determine and one of the doctors
sent by the county court to examine
her made report that she was suffer
ing from "devi1ishness. !" Another
physician states that he believes that
the woman is suffering from acute
hysteria and for this reason she has
refused to leave her bed.
If something can not be done with
the case the humane agent will prob
able make an effort to have the woman
adjudicated insane by the county
court and sent to one of the state in

GET new EQUIPMENT
Big Switchboard for the Kenosha
Home Telephone Company
Arrived Saturday
DUPLICATE OF MADISON
Big Switch Board and Central Energy
System Now Being Installed but
no Opening Until After the
First of March

The big switch board which is to be
used in the plant of the Kenosha
Home Telephone company arrived
Saturday, and the work of setting
it up was started this week.
Several weeks will be required to set
up the switch board and the machin-
cry accompanying it.
The new exchange in Kenosha is
planned to be an exact duplicate of
the exchange Of the Wisconsin te1e-
phone company at Madison which is
considered one Of the best in the
state. All phones will be operated
under what is known as the central
energy system. The system is one
without bell calls and central is
rea ched by simply removing the re-
ceiver.
The new switch board was manu-
featured by the Western Electric
company, of Chicago, and it is of the
very latest pattern. It is what is
known as eight board and it is
said to be a board that will furnish
very easy work for the operators. It
will be equipped with more than two
thousand drops and the managers of
the local company are of the opinion
that this will be sufhc ient drops for
the service in Kenosha during the
next five years. At present the two
companies are operating more than
eighteen hundred phones but when
the changes are made many of these
will be put out Of service.
The installation of the new board
will demand change in almost every
home and business place in Kenosha
as the company is planning to put a
new sort of receiver on all lines.
These receivers will be of the central
energy type and will probably be diff
ferent from any ever in Kenosha be-
fore. The contract for the receivers
will be let within few days and the
work of installing them will be started
as soon as they are delivered.
Foreman Wagner, who is in charge
of the installation of the new plant
stated on Saturday that the work
had been greatly delayed on account
of the fact that the contractors had
not as yet completed the building.
It was stated, however, that the work
of installation would be started as
soon as heat had been placed in the
building and that the company hoped
to have new exchange ready by the
middle of March or first of April. The
work of uniting the two telephone
systems cannot be started until after
the plant is fully completed.

RADATz BOUND OVER

Carl Radatz, we'll known carpenter
of the city, had a preliminary hearing
before Justice G. B. McCarron on
Monday afternoon on a charge of as
sau1t with intent to do great bodily
harm. Radatz was bound over to the
circuit court and his bonds fixed at
$500. He furnished bonds and was
released.
Radatz was arrested on the COM
plant of John Gastinziar, who al
1eges that Radatz attacked him with a
hammer on the first day of January
and inflicted dangerous wound.
Radatz was not required to plead to
the charge, but it is said that he will
claim self defense when the case is
tried in he higher court. Radatz is
we'll knoNn in Kenosha and has al
ways borne splendid reputation.

Ashland Avenue Property Owners
Will Not Object to Extension
of Local Railway Lines
FROST HAS MUCH SUPPORT
Alderman Hegeman Announces That
He Will Not Oppose the Building of
the Line on the Avenue. Gale.
donia Street in Doubt

Alderman John Hegeman of the
Third ward, who is regarded as the
mentor of Ashland avenue, announced
last Saturday that he would make no
protest against the proposed extern
sion of the electric railway on that
street. In explaining his position
Alderman Hegeman statedsthat when
the Kenosha Street Railwayscompany
had sought franchise on the street
to be used as part of a through line,
he had opposed the use of the street,
but that he had no objection to the
use of the street in extending a local
line.
Alderman Hegeman, who is usually
on the right side of the fence on pub
lie questions, declares that the build
ing of an extension to the local line
on Ashland avenue will mean much
for the property owners on that street,
and that while no petition has been
presented to the property owners by
President Frost he is confident that
nearly all of them will sign ,the petit
ton for the new road. The people of
Ashland avenue had objected to the
through line on account of the fact
that they feared it wou1dgbe used for
the carrying of freight.
With no protest from the property
owners on Ashland avenue, President
Frost and his company would have
pretty clear sailing when he comes to
the city council. The only other
street on which he may expect oppo-
sition is Grand avenue, and it is
hardly thought that this will be suffi-
cient to block the plans of the COM
pany. The east end of Grand avenue
is already pretty well taken up with
railway tracks, and the coming of
another track will make little differ
ence.
The meeting between the committee
and President Frost has not as yet
been held, but it will be held during
the presentweek. There seems to be
some opposition to the granting of a
franchise for the use of Caledonia
street under the proposition now be-
fore the council, as some aldermen
seem to believe the four year clause
is put in the ordinance for the purpose
of blocking any other railway pro-
ject. The committee will probably
demand that the franchise be amend
ed so that the company will be forced
to build the proposed line on Caledonia
street within a year, or else have this
street cut off from the proposed right
of way With Caledonia street in the
possession Of President Frost and his
associates it would be hard .matter
for any competing line to find route
into Kenosha and this fact is ap-
preciated by the council as well as by
Mr.. Frost.
Many of the members of the council
look with favor on the railway pro-
position and it is rather remarkable
that there have been no protests filed
with any of the aldermen.

SOMERS DEFEATED
College OF, Commerce Basket Ball Team
Wins an Easy Victory

College OF, Commerce Basket Ball Team
Wins an Easy Victory
Monday night occurred one of the
fastest games of basket ball of the
season, played in the Y. M. c. A.
gymnasium between the College of
Commerce five and the Somers FIVE.
The Somers boys were badly beaten,
but they put up rare fight all
through the game. Their team work
was good, but their inability to throw
goals lost the game for them.
The Kenosha boys we're ia the pink
of condition, and not once was the
outcome of the game in doubt. Whit
aker and O'Donnell played their
usual hard game at forward, while the
rest of the team pitched in and en-
abled them to score by their excellent
team work. Harc1eroad played hard
game at center and was always in the
game. Mungen showed his ability
to guard from start to finish, in fact
everyone worked hard to win and sue
ceeded admirably.

RACINE FREE FROM TROUBLE
Kenosha Water Co. OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Advice of Harry Laing


Advice of Harry Laing
While Kenosha is experiencing diff
fculties with it's waterworks system,
necessitating the closing of several
factories and virtually creating a
water famine, Racine is not having
trouble. Anchor ice has c1ogged up
the intake pipe of the system located
in the lake east of the city.
One year ago, when this trouble
was on, Harry Laing, superintendent
of the Racine Water Co., was called to
Kenosha. He told the Kenosha Of
fcia1s that their intake was in too
shallow water, it only being down 20
to Is feet, and that unless it was low
cred the same difficulties would pre-
vail every year, but still the Kenosha
officials did not appear tosprofit by
this advice.
The intake of the Racine Water Co.
is down in forty-seven feet of water
and not since it was sunk has the
least difficulty sbeen experienced in
getting supply of water, nor has the
ice in the least affectedg it. Racine

ICE MAY BE HIGH
Two Days of Harvesting Thus Far
Two Months Are Needed

rs
As a result of unfavorab1e weather
conulIlons icemen believe an advance
IN. the price of ice over that of last
year IS probable. It requires from six
to eight weeks continued cold
Weatner to form enough natural ice
Tor henosha home consumption. Ice
houses throughout the state are en-
ttrely cleaned out. Toward the end of
last season dealers secured every sec
tlon OF the state in an effort to pro-
cure Ice Tor the larger cities of this
ana adjoining states. During this
winter, it is said, ice was harvested
on only two days. The maximum
Thickness was no more than twelve
inches. The warm weather of the
last few days, coupled with the heavy
rains, has thinned the ice until Mon
day night it was about only two
inches.
'SUn1ess weather conditions are
more favorable next month higher
prices for ice may be looked for, said
Frank A. Graham, of the Graham Ice
company in Milwaukee, Monday
night. "Ice-houses in every part of

$500 NOW RAISED
Prospects of Securing Funds for New
Unitarian Church are Bright

The committee in charge of raising
a fund of $4,000 to secure the erection
of new Unitarian church in the city
has made preliminary report to the
members of the congregation which
shows that the prospects are exceed
ingly bright. The committee has
secured pledges for more than $500
at the present time and has promises
of several other gifts. z. G. Sim
mons has offered to give $4,000 If the
congregation raises the $4,000, and 1t
seems certain that they will claim the
big gift.
It is planned to begin the work on
the church just as soon as the frost is
out of the ground and the old church
is now being advertised for sale. If
more than $4,000 can be raised among
the members of the congregation, as
now seems possible, the balance will
be used for furnishing the church.

A PLACE In FICTION
Charles Dickens Reference to
Southport Telegraph Sus-
tains Claims Of Oldest Paper
TELLS OF HORRIBLE TRAGEDY

There is a general fight on among
the papers of Wisconsin and other
central states in regard to the paper
which has the claim to being the first
paper published in this western coun-
try and Kenosha is proud of the fact
that she has paper which has an
undisputed title to being the first
paper published in the great North
west. That paper is the TELEGRAPH
COURIER, which for the past seventy
years has been issued regularly from
Offices in Southport and Kenosha.
The old Green Bay Inte1ligencer, as
the COURIER was originally called,
was established at GreensBay in 1884
and it was brought to Kenosha, then
Southport, three years later and
issued under the name ofsthe South
port Telegraph. Other papers have
claimed to be older than the Telegraph
but none has ever been able to sus-
tain it's claims. In this connection
it is noteworthy fact that the old
Southport paper has been given a
place in1iterature whichswi1l make it
immortal even if the present editions
should some future time fail to go to
the subscribers.
In 1912 Charles Dickens, the great
English novelist, visited America and
during his visit he managed to get
hold of copy of the Southport Te1e-
graph. In writing his American
Notes, one of the most interesting
volumes of his published works, Mr..
Dickens refers to the old Kenosha
paper. The reference is an interest
ing one in that it brings up one of the
most stirring incidents in the early
history of Wisconsin as a territory.
The reference is as follows:
"Horrib1e Tragedy"
By slip from the Southport Te1e-
graph, Wisconsin, we learn that the
Honorable Charles C. P. Arndt mem
Der of the council from Brown county
was shot dead on the floor of the coun-
Gil. chan1ber by Jas. R. Vineyard, mem
Der from, Grant county. The affair
grew out of the nomination for Sheriff
! in Grant county. Mr.. E. S. Daker
was nominated and supported by Mr..
Arndt. This nomination was OPP
posed by Vineyard, who wanted the APP
pointment to vest in his own brother.
In the course of debate the deceased
made some statements which Vinyard
pronounced false, and made use of
violent and insulting language deal
ing largely in personalities to which
Mr.. A. made no reply. After the ad-
journment Mr.. A. stepped up to Vim
yard and requested him to retract,
which he refused to do, repeating the
offensive words. Mr.. Arndt then
made blow at Vinyard, who stepped
back O. pace, drew pistol and shot
him dead. The issue appears to have
been provoked on the part of Vineyard,
who was determined at all hazards to
defeat the appointment of Baker and
who, himself defeated, turned his ire
and revenge uuon the unfortunate
Arndt.
This is the reference which Mr..
Dickins makes to the old Kenosha
publication and there are still few
people residing in Kenosha who re-
call the stirring scenes attending the
murder of Arndt.

INTENT ON MURDER

]. Giffa Accused of Threatening to Cut
Brothers. Throat Lands in Jail
Joe Giffa, Lithuanian residing on
Broad street, was arrested late Sum
day night by Officer Dunnebacke on
a charge Of attempting to cut the
throat of his brother. The man claims
that he is innocent Of the charges.
Giffa was arrested at house on Broad
street where it is claimed some ff-
teen men had been spending the
evening.
IT seems that free for all fight took
place during the night and Giffa was
the most boisterous Of the company.
He refused to plead guilty to charge
of intoxication this morning and will
probably be arraigned on some higher
charge this afternoon.
