TO FOLLOW DECISION
State Civil Service Board to Fol-
low Ruling of the Attor- i
ney General
EMPLOYEES TO PLEASE BOSS


Secretary Doty, of the civil service
commission, was asked Saturday
what effect the recent opinion of the
attorney general with reference to the
removals had upon the efficiency of
the law.
In reply, Mr.. Doty said: 81 do not
see how amy other inter probation of
the law could nave been made. It is
IN accordance with the Interpretation
Of the New York law, which is IN ac-
cord with the opiniou Of the secretary
of the United States reform civil SER
vice association, Ellis H. Goodwin,
who assisted in framing this Wiscon-
sin law.
"The only effect the opinion of the
beats at all times. Under the present
system much of the time of the off,
GERS is taken up in taking arrested
prisoners to Jail, and oftentimes
police officer is forced to be absent
from his beat for several hours in
order to get SOME fighting drunkard
safely behind the bars.
With the wagon and patrol system
it would be an easy matter to land a
fellow in jail without having the off,
Ger leave his beat. Nearly every day
the committee found that the force is
called upon to call a wagon to haul
some uproarous drunkard or street
brawler to the jail, and the fees for
these onveyancesI Jwould in short
time go long waystoward paying the
interest on the-money needed for the
installation of the system.
The cost of the system with twenty
boxes will be in the neighborhood of
$1,000, and it is thought that the
council will at once ask for bids for
its installation. Chief of Police
O'Hare, who has always been in favor
of modern methods for police work, is
making the fight of his life to secure
a system for Keaosna, and it now
looks as if he would win the fight,
Nearly all of the aldermen have ex-.
pressed themselves as favorable to
the plan.

p. J. Schumacher Takes Heroic Means
to Avoid Arrest for Violating Law
Throwing his gun in the waters of
Camp Lake, p. j. Schumacher, Jr., a
well known young man of the town of
Salem, made determined effort Sun
day to prevent his being arrested by
Game Warden Kleist on charge of
hunting without license.
Kleist had been on the trail of
Schumacher, who is alleged to have:
been with constable. When Kleist
approached it is alleged that the con-
stable urged Schumacher to run, and
the latter throwing his shot gun into
the lake followed the instructions.
Kleist was not to be left behind, and
he dove into the lake and secured the
gun, and then pulling his own revolt
yer he pointed it at Schumacher and
commanded him to halt. Schumacher
didn't want to take the chances and
stopped.

ANNUAL INSPECTION
Chief inspector Cross Of Nation
al inspection Co. Pays /.
Visit to the City
FIRE DEPARTMENT PRAISED

George 6. Gross, of Chicago, chief
inspector of the National Inspection
company, which represents nearly
all of the leading insurance com
panies in the United States, came to
Nhenosha on Monday to make "a in
spection of this city and his report
will possibly have the effect Of secur-
leg reduction of fire rates for Keno
sha risks. The inspection is made at
periods of3two years and Inspector
Gross expressed himself as highly
pleased with the advance. which has
been made since his last visit.
The National Inspection company
is not a government bureau but a
private enterprise organized by the
leading fire insurance companies to
secure reports on the conditions Of
fire risks in all the cities in the
country.
During his stay in Kenosha Inspect
or Gross was the guest Of Fire Chief
Henry Isermann and was taken about
the city and shown the growth that
had been made in the FIRE fighting
apparatus in the city. Since the last
visit of the inspector the apparatus
at the central engine house has been
increased and new engine house
built in the third ward and equipped
with the most modern fire fighting
apparatus. Inspector Gross also took
copy of the records of the depart
ment for the past two years and after
looking over the figures he declared
that the city Of Kenosha would make
better showing than any city its
size in Wisconsin and that its FIRE
protection was far ahead of many of
the larger. cities in this part of the
country.
The report of the inspector will be
tabulated later in the year ard sent
to the different companies but no re-
suits can be expected from 1t for
some time as the insurance compa MES
only re-adjust rates for risks at given
times. A short time ago a general
re-adjustment of rates was made in
order to recoup some of the losses of
the San Francisco fire and earthquake
and it is probable that the rate
established at that time will remain
in use for at least two years. The
details of the report will however be.
Of interest to people who deal with
insurance companies.

REPEATED THE DOSE
School Boys from Racine Given
Another Trimming by Kenosha
Ball Team Sunday
KNOCKED OUT OF BOX

The series of games between the
Kenosha and Racine teams is over
and the Kenosha team managed to
walk off with the deciding game Of
the series OH Sunday AFTERNOON when
the Racine team was defeated on the
local diamond by a score of 10 to a.
It was simply slaughter of the in
nocents and the Racine school boys
did thel0t famous balloon ascension
again AND went up into the air long
enough to allow the Kenosha team
to win the game by this large margin.
It was all done in one inning and that
was the fifth. In this inning the Ke-
nosha players scored ten runs and
they might just as well have made it
twenty for the Racine team was COM
pletely up in the air and the Kenosha
players were scoring at will. LaPour,
who was touted as the best pitcher
Racine ever turned out, was forced
to retire in this inning and Petersen,
who took his place Jared little bet
ter. It was simply case of hit and

the ball failed to strike a safe place
the Racine fielder was sure to make
an error and the man got to base Just
the same. The Kenosha boys simply
wore themselves out in administering
the drubbing and most offs them were
highly delighted when the third out
came.
The Racine players showed none of
the Wanted speed which has been the
theme Of the so-called sporting
writer's of the Racine papers for the
last few days and there never was a
time when the game was in danger.
The Racine team has Ebeen proved
beyond doubt faraSbelow the
standard of the Kenosha team
and it is evident that the boys should
never have taken a game in the
series. The kenosha boys.put up an
errorless game on Sunday and with
the splendid pitching of Pulse they
could have easily disposed Of much
more worthy opponent. The score of
the game follows.

Committee on Police Will Recon-
mend Establishment Of Pc.
lice Patrol System
MANY ADVANTAGES FOR PLAN
Believe it Wonld Result in Saving
Money for the City and Would
Bring Greater Efficiency to
the Police Force

The outlook for the securing of a
police patrol system in Kenosha has
received quite an encourag
from the police committee Of the com.
mon council, as the committee will
send report to the council tonight
recommending the immediate estab.
lishment of such a system Ia Kenosha.
The committee has been looking into
the matter for several weeks and their
report is an exhaustive document.
dealing with every phase of the ques.
ton OF the police patrol system.
The endorsement of the committee is
an enthusiastic one and in the report
the committee points out the MANY
advantages to the city In the installa-
ton Of such a system. The commit
tee holds that it would be great aid
to the fire department as the boxes
could be used for either a fire or police
call and that it would il this manner
increase the efficiency of the FIRE de.
partment system. Added to this it
would be of greatest value in making
It possible for the police to quickly
respond to riot calls and calls where
some immediate work is demanded.
It is held by the committee that the
installation of the system would
largely increase the efficiency Of the
police force, as it would make it pos
sible for the officers to remain on their
attorney general will have is to clear
the atmosphere, mores definitely des-
ignating the powers of the commits
sion. The law provides for a severe
penalty for its violation aud it can
not be said to weaken a law TO leave
the assignment of penalties to the
court rather than to the commission.
Efficient employees in Wisconsin have
today just as much protection against
unjust dismissal as is granted to any
employees IN the union where there is
a civil service law.
MrS Doty was also asked:
"Has the commission exceeded its
authority in attempting to prevent
employees from political activity?n
LINK not, said Mr.. Doty he
commission has taken no action in
reference to the political activity OF
the employees.
"All employees who asked for an
opinion from the commission as to
their right, have been given a frank
answer and have been answered
promptly. Several letters have been
written by the commission in answer
to inquiries Of employees to the effect
that the law does not appear 10 per-
NIT them to circulate nomination pa.
pers. It is possible that individual
members of the commission have
cautioned employees in a friendly way
to live up to the spirit Of the civil
service law. but such action was un-
official.

KnickerbOcker Ice Company Pur-
chases Large Tract Of Land
on Lake Elizabeth
ITS SUPREMACY COMPLETE
Company Now Controls All Ice Privi-
1eges Save One Held by the Lawler
Ice Company at Twin Lakes
Business Immense

On Saturday afternoon the Knicker-
booker Ice Co., through its president,
Joan S. Field, closed a deal for the
purchase Of the property of Albert
Gibbs and ]. B. Vosburg on Lake
Elizabeth, and the company will at
once begin the erection of "a mammoth
ice house on the property, The house
is planned to be one of the largest
ever erected in this state and it will
be completed and ready for filing by
the first of December. In order to
make the building of the house posi-
Bile the company will be forced to
build railway more than half a mile
in length to get the material for the
big building to the site.
The Krickerbocker company now
practically controls all the ice privi-
leges on the lakes of Kenosha county.
The only house owned by an indie
pendent company is the old Alderman
house at Twin Lakes, and it is stated
that the Knickerbocker company is
negotiating with the Lawler Ice com
pany for the purchase of this prop
erty. If the purchase is made the SUI
premacy of the trust in this county
will be complete, AT the present time
the ice trust owns houses on every
lake in the county with the exception
of Paddock's Lake, and it is thought
that the sacred precincts of the old
settlers will ce invaded next year and
large house built within stones
throw of the pavilion.
1t would he almost impossible to es-
innate the value of the property of
the Knickerbocker company in this
county, but it is placed on the books
of the assessors Of the different towns
at nearly half million dollars, and
this is not full value in many cases
The company for the past two years
has been at work to secure full control
ia this county, and one by one the in
dependent companies have been
forced to give up their houses to the
trust. The prices paid in some in
stances have been more than double
the value of the property Secured. OF
course there is a method in the mad
ness of the trust officials in paying
high prices for land in this county, as
the freightrates from Kenosha county
to Chicago are sixty cents ton, and
should the trust get a monopoly of
the business it is possible that even a
lower rate would be provided. It is
claimed that the towns of Randall
and Salem ship more ice than any
other townships in Wisconsin.
Nearly all of the ice harvested last
year has been removed from the
houses owned by the trust and they
are being cleaned out and made ready
for the new harvest this year. The
company is planning Ito bring 5000
men to Kenosha county to take care
of the harvest this year, and manylof
these men have already been EN-
ployed. A few days ago the company
sold by contract all the ice in the
Twin Lakes house to Swift & Co., and
it is being removed by the purchasers.

MANY CASES OF TYPHOID
Seven Typhoid Cases Reported From
Hospital and Others in the City


Hospital and Others in the City
Grave apprehension is felt in the
city on account of the large number
of cases of typhoid fever discovered
during the past rev days and in now
seems that the dread disease has quite
foot hold in the city, At present
there are seven typhoid patients at
the Kenosha hospital while isolated
cases of the disease are reported in
many parts of the city. In most cases
the disease is in very light form and
but one death has occurred from the
disease so far. Physicians state that
it is unusual for so much typhoid
fever to be found in Kenosha at this
time of the year. Typhoid usually
appears in cities along the north
shore in June and July and some time
in the early part of August, but it is
rare that cases are found in Septem-
Der.
Health Officer Spalding is taking
every possible precaution to prevent
the spread of the disease and physi-
clans have been asked to maintain as
strict quarantine as the law allows.
In the>mean time the health officer Is
about the city making an effort to get
the dirty spots cleaned out and in
most cases he is receiving hearty CO.
operation from the property owners.
