WOULDNAMEH HIGGINS
Racine Democrats Grooming Well
Known Manufacturer as a
Candidate for Congress
Or POSITION FOR or \ \. A. A. COOPER

Prominent Democrats IN Racine
are grooming Michael Higgins r.,
president of the Higgins Spring com
pany and former mayor of the Belle
City, as Democratic candidate for
congress. Mr.. Higgins has not as
yet given his consent to the use of his
name, but it is understood that he is
rather pleased with the idea, and if
his associates can show him any hope
of victory there is little doubt but that
he will be in the running.
Higgins is political wonder in Ra-
cine aud he has given evidence of
having some abilities as d runner OUT
side of his home county. He was
twice elected Mayor of Racine, not
withstanding the fact that there is a
big Republican majority IN that city
and he gave Otis w. Johnson de-
cidedly tight run in the race for state
senator four years ago. Johnson was
saved from defeat by securing good
round majority in Kenosha county.
Higgins is a powerful campaigner and
his campaign for senator made him
pretty well known throughout Keno
sha and Racine county and Democrats
in both counties have made sort of
an Idol Of him
Higgins would have for his oi,.
ponent IN the race for nomination
Calvin Stewart of this city. Stewart
is strong candidate and it is possible
that Higgins would have to get very
busy to beat him. Stewart is well
known in the Western part of the
district and Higgins is a new conner
to the men in Rock and Walworth.
The Racine Democrats claim that with
Higgins as candidate the Democrats
would sweep Racine county aud that
Higgins would get enough Republican
votes in the district to secure his
election.
In the meantime Congressman H.
A. Cooper is planning to return to the
district within a few days to take up
the fight for the nomination His
friends are decidedly confident of the
result

THOUGHT THEY HAD BRADLEY
Report Sent to Police Office That the
Murderer was Seen Near Racine

There was great excitement near
the Shoop farm in Racine county Sat-
urday when report was sent to Ra-
cine stating that John Bradley, who
murdered Clifford Smith, had been
seen in the woods near there.
Two young men coming in from the
country were stopped by man near
that place who asked them many
questions concerning the distance to
the city, and where he could get some
thing to eat The young men had
read the description of Bradley in the
local papers and thought he answered
it exactly. The police Office was no.
tilted at once and officers dispatched
to the place, but the stranger had made
good his escape before their arrival.
Many reports have been received
from cities hundreds of miles from
this city stating that the man Bradley
had been seen there, but is the opin-
ion of officers In Kenosha that he is
still not very far away.

SCORE A SHUT-OUT
Kenosha Baseball Team Defeats
the Arions Of Chicago by a
Score OF a to o
PULSE ALLOWS BUT TWO HITS

In one of the most brilliant exhibit
tons of the AmericanSgame ever seen
on kenosha diamond, the local team
shut out the Arions ofAChicago on
Sunday afternoon by scoge of 4 to 0.
The Arions are rated asN the best
bunch Of players among the semi pro-
fessionals of Chicago, .aud the victory
of the Kenosha team was a we'll
earned one.
The game was characterized by
brilliant pitching and more brilliant
fielding. It was pitchers battle
from the start, and Pulse had the best
Of the argument. He was decidedly
stingy in the matter of hits, and
allowed the visitors but two safe ones
during the game. He struck out six
men and gave one base on balls
Jones, on the visitors slab, allowed
five hits and struck out seven men.
Laabs had the best of the hitting ar
gument, getting two Of the five hits
accredited to the Kenosha team
The Kenosha boys started strong,
with two runs in the second inning,
and the visitors were not dangerous
until the fifth inning when, with two
men out and two men on bases,
Holmes, the Arions' catcher, slammed
the ball out for what seemed to be a
home run. Here came the feature of
the game, for Loeble after a remark
able run, pulled down the ball and
cut off the runs which would have
more than tied the score. After this
inning the visitors were not danger
Gus, but the local team to make assur-
ance doubly sure, added two more
runs to the score in the eighth in
ing.

POLES THR0NG CITY.
Hundreds Of Polish Residents Of
Chicago and Milwaukee Hold
Annual Benefit Here
HELD AT ANDERS0N'S PARK
Three Hundred Children Take Part il
Gymnastic Exercises Hundreds
of Polish People Parade the
City in The Morning

Kenosha acted as host to great
company of Polish people of Wiscon-
sin and Illinois on Sunday when the
members of the Bohemian Turning
Association Sokol of Milwaukee
came to Kenosha to hold it's annual
benefit picnic at Anderson's park.
1t was the greatest gathering OF
Polish people ever seen in southern
Wisconsin. At the park there were
fully 10000 people Sunday afternoon
and the crowd in the evening was half
as large. It was by all measures the
biggest picnic ever held in Kenosha
and it was the most distinguished
gathering of Polish people ever seen
in the state.
The Soko1 society is a benefit
society among the Polish people OF
Milwaukee and its membership is
largely among the better class of
Polish residents. The annual picnic
is the big feature Of the year with the
association.
Eight hundred members of the
association came from Milwaukee on
a special train on Sunday bringing
with them their own band and drum
corps. When the party reached Ke.
nosha they we're met at the station by
local committee and the parade
through the streets began. Mayor
James German, City Clerk Harring.

the common council represented the
city of Kenosha in extending a vel.
come to the visitors.
The parade was one of the largest
ever seen in Kenosha. More than 800
men were in line, and many of them
we're uniformed The march was
from the station to Anderson's park
where the picnic was held.
When the visitors arrived at the
park they were joined by 800 Polish
people who had come on special
train from Chicago, and later in the
day large delegations arrived from
Racine, Manitowoc, Appleton, Wan,
kegan, and other cities in Northern
Illinois and Southern Wisconsin.
All sorts of sports and games were
arranged for the entertainment of the
visitors during the AFTERNOONS, the
feature of the picnic being a turning
exhibition in which some 800 children
took part.
Later there were addresses by lead.
ing members of the association, and
by prominent Polish residents Of the
city. The special train bearing the
visitors returned to Milwaukee late
Sunday evening.
The picnic was the most successful
ever held by the organization, ant
more than $500 was added to the bene
fit fund. The committee in charge O.

WILL CURB STENCIL
Tannery Officials Meet Health
Committee Half Way in Effort
to Clean Kenosha River
RIVER TO BE DREDGED NOW
Company Will Also Make New Arrange.
ments for the Disposal of Refuse
so as to Purify ,Water-Gas
Company to Follow

The stencil from the tannery, which
for years has been a blight to the
property on the North side of the city
is to be curbed and the Kenosha river
which has been hindered in its flow
by the refuse from the institution is
to be dredged out and an effort will
be made to keep it clean in the
future.
This morning Mayor German, City
Attorney Slater, Health Officer John
B. Spalding and Alderman C. Fred
Stemm of the Sixth ward, went to the
office of the tannery to consult with
the officials of the company as to what
steps we're to be taken to clean up the
river and if possible do away with the
stencil.
c. w. Allen met the committee more
than half way and advised the mem
bers that the company had already
taken steps to secure the changes de-
sired. He stated that the company
was willing to meet every demand in
reason that the committee could make
and that the reforms would be started
at once. The company, before the
visit of the committee, had made ar
engagements for the dredging of the
river, and the dredges will be here
within few days to clean the river
along the taunery docks.
The company has also arranged for
the building of a catch basin along
the docks to catch the refuse from
the various buildings. Added to this
a platform will be erected on which
all animal matter will be thrown, and
from this platform it will be hauled
away and buried or burned. The
great objection has come from the
fact that animal matter dumped into
the river has been thrown up on tie
banks by the tide, and with the com
ing of-warm weather all awful stencil
arises from this dried matter.
With the changes now planned it is
thought that this will all be done
away with and that the only refuse
poured into the river will be the
liquor from the vats There is no
stencil connected with the liquor
The river was dredged five years ago
at the expense Of the company and
the work this year will be done in the
same manner. This afternoon the
committee made visit to the plant
of the Kenosha Gas and Electric com
pany and the officials Of this company
have agreed to do all in their power
to do away with the nuisances.
The matter of putting flushing
tunnel in the river was discussed but
it is not thought that this can be
done. In other cities the flushing
tunnels have been putin by the cities
and it would be impossible with the
present financial condition of the
city of kenosha to make these
changes,
