A FEAST IN RACINE
Members Of the Kenosha Medical
Association Entertained by Ra-
cine Doctors Tuesday
CONTRACT RATES DISCUSSED

A score of the members of the rhedi-
cal fraternity in Kenosha went to Ra-
cine Tuesday evening to attend ban
quet given in their honor by the mem
bers of the Racine Doctors Business
associat ton. The entertainment was
given at the Hotel Racine and the
Kenosha physicians are high in their
praise Of the lavish hospitality ex-
tended.
This was the second gathering of
the physicians of the two cities, as d
short time ago Kenosha and Raciue
physicians met at the Pennoyer SAM
tarium as the guests of Drs. Pennoyer
and Adams.
During the early hours of the even
ing the doctors from the two cities
met IN the par1ors of the hotel and the
evening was spent in discussing mat
ters of interest to the profession. For
some time the Racine physicians have
been waging a war against contract

tions, and within the last few weeks

members of the profession will not
enter into any such agreements in the
future. This matter was discussed
Tuesday night, and while the Keno
sha physicians have never been called
upon to take up this line of work,
their opposition was expressed in no
uncertain terms.
After the informal meeting in the
parlors Of the hotel, the guests we're
invited into the dining room, where a
course dinner was served.
After dinner was over addresses
were made by the representative of
the two cities, DR.. J. L. C1eary and DR..
Munro responding for the Kenosha
doctors. At the close of the dinner
DIR. G. H. Ripley, for the Kenosha as
ISOLATION, offered vote of thanks to
the Racine physicians for the splen-
did manner in which they had enter
tanned their guests. The Kenosha
physicians returned home on the mid
night car.

PLAN MEETS FAVOR
Special Committee Of the Coun.
Gil Investigating Plan for Pur.
chase Of Voting Machines
OFFERS kEN0SHA LOW RATES

Alderman Dan @. Head, who is
chairman of the special committee of
the city council in charge Of the work
| of purchasing voting machines for
the use of the voters at the coming
city election, held a long conference
| with e. S. Hamilton, the representa-
tive of the United States Standard
Voting Machine company of Rochest-
er, and as result of the conference it
is probable that the committee will
make an early report to the council
asking that the machines be installed
for the use of the voters in every
ward in the city.
The proposition made to the city
council on Monday evening by Mr..
Hamilton has been made in writing to
the members of the committee. eto
The proposition provides for the
installation of six ma chimes in the
city. The city will be asked to make
a contract at once for the payment for
three of them at rate 5000 year for
| six years. The machines are to cost
5000 each. If the city decides to ac-
cept the proposition of the company
for the purchase of three machines
this year the company agrees to in
stall three other machines for the use
of the voters at the city and state
elections this year. If the machines
prove successful and the city decides
!, to retain them contract will be made
next spring by which they will be
sold to the city on the terms govern
ing the contract for the three bought
this year. This would give the city
a total of eight machines on which
payments to the amount of $500 would
have to be made for the next four
years after which the annual payment
to be made by the city would be 5000
for two years. Of course the company
will demand the usual rate of interest
on unpaid contracts.
Many of the members of the council
I are in favor of the purchase Of the
ma chimes and it is probable that some
action will be taken at the next meet
ing of the council.

Missing Chicago Broker Found at
Salem Cannot Give Any Ac-
count of Himself
SOUGHT WORK AS ICE CUTTER
w. III. Wilson, Who Disappeared From
Kenosha Last Thursday Night,
is Located at Salem but Mys-
terry is Unexplained

w. H, Wilson, Chicago broker,
who disappeared from Kenosha on
last Thursday evening, was located
on Monday night at the village of Sa-
lem, IN the western part of the county
where he had applied for work as an
ice cutter. Wilson is said to be in
sane and he came to Kenosha after
having escaped from a private q tuun
at Lake Geneva. He reached this
city last Thursday night on the z
O'Clock train and asked the way to
Rockford. This was the last heard of
him until he was taken into custody
by detectives at. one Of the Hooker
Lake ice houses on Monday. The de-
tectives came to Kenosha on Friday
morning, and since that time they
had kept up the search for the man in
Kenosha county.
Wilson could give no explanation of
his actions, nor could he state where
he had been in hiding since his disap-
pearance. He had not been at the ice
house in Salem until Monday after
noon. He went to one of the foremen
in charge of the work and asked for a
job as an ice cutter. The man APP
peared to be weak and the foreman
told him to come around to work this
morning. He stood about the lakes
watching the men at work, and while
he was there one of the detectives
came, and with the statement that he
would find boarding house for him,
he managed to get him into car
riage and brought him to Kenosha.
Later the man and his guards re-
turned to Chicago.
One of the detectives in speaking of
the case stated that Wilson had for
some time been laboring under the i'm
preston that he had lost large sums
of money and that for this reason he
often sought employment in Chicago
and other cities. When he came to
this county the men expected that he
would attempt to secure work and for
this reason the lakes had been care
fully watched.
The detectives we're not able to dis
cover how Wilson had made his way
to Salem and it is is thought possible
that he walked the entire distance.
Wilson seemed to appreciate his con-
dition and seemed rational. He made
no objection to returning to Chicago
and seemed to be weary after his long
tramp. Wilson is retired, not having
been in business for more than four
years. His wife and children reside
at Kenwood.

Eddie Tance1 the Chicago amateur
boxer who was taken from Chicago to

Mike Butler of the c. C. A. and whose
manager, Howard Carr, claims was
iobbed; will be the star attraction at
