CALLED HIM DOWN
Oil Inspector Mills Of Burlington
Too Busy Politically for
Mr.. Lenroot
DAVIDSON GIVES WARNING

Gov. Davidson has invoked the aid
of the new state civil service law to
prevent numerous members of the
state government, who have been TAX
ing an active part in the Lenroot CAM
paign from continuing their political
activity.
For some time past the governor
has been much displeased over the ac-
tons of several men, including Oil In
spector Mills of Burlington, Game
Warden Swenholt and some Of the
deputy game wardens, factory inspec-
tors and oil inspectors, because of
their activity for Mr. Lenroot and be-
fore leaving for Pittsburg Landing,
to be present at the Shiloh monument
dedication, it is said that the gov
ernor called Mr.. Mills to his office and
limited strongly that unless he stopped
his activity for Lenroot something
would drop in his vicinity.
Gov. Davidson is reported to have
said to Mr.. Mills that he did not ask
that the oil inspector do any political
work for him, but that $41 he asked
was that he desist from ny political
work whatsoever and that he and his
deputies live up to the spirit of the
civil service law. A similar notice
will, it is said, be served on the dep
uty factory inspectors and game war
dens, who have been openly hustling
for Lenroot. Friends of the governor
/ declare he is in earnest in this move
and that if there is no change in the
attitude Of some of the political hust-
| 1ers in state Offices and an immediate
ceasing by them of political work,
that protests will be filed by the civil
service board with request that nu-
merous removals from Office be or
| dered.

LUTHERASS OBSERVE DAY
Scores of the Little Children Receive
Their First Sacrament in the
Churches on Sunday Will
Observe Holy Week

The historic services of the blessing
of the palm and the beautiful rites
and sacraments surrounding the con-
frmation of children marked the OBJ
servance of Palm Sunday in many of
the Kenosha churches Sunday. Com
memorative of Christ's triumphal en-
try into the city of Jerusalem, hun
dreds of Kenosha people wended their
way from the different churches car
rying small sprays of the branches of
the tree which had been associated
with the day since antiquity. Scores
of children renewed the baptisma1
vows made for them and entered into
the holy compacts Of confirmation.
With these solemn rites of Palm Sun
day, holy week, which will have its
triumphant ending il the Easter fes-
tival, next Sunday, was ushered in.
Special services we're held in all Of
the Catholic and Lutheran churches.
Dignified and impressive was the OBJ
servance Ct the day at st. James, St.
Georges and other Catholic churches,
where the annual blessing of the
palms took place at 1880 a. m. This
was followed by procession of the
1aity and the sanctuary boys, in which
! the branches were distributed to the
members of the congregation. Then
followed the solemn high mass, in
which the passion was chanted.
The confirmation service, in which
the candidates for membership in the
church are given public examina-
ton on their knowledge of the word OF
/ God and the precepts Of the church,
/ formed the program for the morning
in the Lutheran churches of the city.
Since the month of October the
classes have been undergoing :nstruc-
ton for the event of Sunday. After
a short examination, conducted by the
minister of the church, the children
entered into a pact, in which they
promised to renounce the devil and all
his works and we're then admitted as
members of the church. In the
churches of various denominations
over 200 children were confirmed Sun
day.
The services at the German Luth-
eran church on Milwaukee avenue
and at the Danish and Swedish
churches were especially impressive
and large classes Of children were
confirmed at each Of the CHURCHES.
The churches of Kenosha have
made special arrangements for the
celebration of holy week, which was
ushered in with Palm Sunday, and
daily services will be held at nearly al
the churches. Protestant and Catho.
lie congregations alike will celebrate
the week. The Catholics will follow
the rules for Lent, as laid down by the
archbishop of the diocese, while
among the Protestants the week viii
be one Of prayer and preparation fol
the coming of Easter Sunday.
j During the week the arrangements
will be completed for the services or
next Sunday morning. Elaborate
musical programs are being arranged
for the celebration of Easter in all 8.
the churches.

MANY CASES LAID OVER
Increase in Business of Circuit Court
Apparent in This County

The great increase in the business
of the circuit court of Kenosha county
shows that it will ia the future be al
most impossible for Judge Belden to
com p1ete his work under the present
schedule Of court terms. Last Friday
the judge was forced to give up the
work IN this county on account OF the
fact that the term. for Racine county
opened this morning and he will not
be able to get back to Kenosha county
until late in May. Many cases yet
remain to be disposed of and all of
them were on the calendar for the
March term. There is still one Grim
ina1 case, five civil actions to be tried
before a jury, and the entire court
calendar to be disposed Of
1t has been arranged to carry the
court calendar over to the June term
of the circuit court, and it is possible
that the jury will have to be recalled
at that time to take care of the jury
cases remaining untried. Added to
this long list of cases, there are three
cases to be tried in which affidavits of
pre- iudice have been filed, and it will
be necessary to call judge from an
other circuit to hear these cases.

Water Commissioners Meet To-
day to Make Arrangements FOR
Erection Of Big Standpipe
TO COST COMPANY $4,000
Erection of the New Water Standpipe
to Be Started at Once ard to Be
Completed by the End of
the Present Year

The board of water commissioners
held special meeting at the city hall
this afternoon for the purpose Of com.
pleting arrangements for the erection
Of the long planned standpipe as a
part of the water system of Kenosha.
For the past FIVE years the water com
missioners have been laying plans for
this addition to the system, but the
money was not in hand for the build
ing of the big tank and the members
of the commission were unwilling TO
go in debt.
The tank which is to be erected at
the corner Of Pearl and Ridge streets
will be started at once ard it is ex-
pected that it will be completed and
ready for use before the end Of the
present year.
The tank will have capacity Of
100000 gallons Of water and it will be
set on standards forty feet in height.
In this way it will be more valuable
than a standpipe of the old fashioned
sort. Every gallon Of water in the
tank may be used. The tank will be
of steel construction and will cost in
the neighborhood of $4,000. Some
time ago the commissioners set aside
SIS 900 for the standpipe fund and
there is now sufficient money in the
treasury Of the commission to permit
the work to be done.
In this way the addition to the sys.
tenn will be paid for entirely out of the
profits made by the water company il
the last few years. When the system
was originally designed it was
planned to be operated with the use Oh
the stand pipe.
The erection of the big tank will
greatly improve the conditions OF
service of the water company, if such
thing is possible. AS it will make
possible the storage of large amount
of water it will render a uniform pres.
sure on the mains, and at the same
time greatly reduce the running ex.
penses of the central station.
1t is believed that the erection of a
tank will aid materially in doing away
with the water famines which have
become common in Kenosha during
the winter months. While this fact
is not assured it is certain that the
tank will aid in keeping up the mi.
form pressure even if the supply from
the pumps should run down.
The contract for the erection Of the
pipe will probably be lei within few
weeks. The plans we're made some
time ago, and the commissioners viii
at once take bids for the completion
of the big addition to the system.

REMARKABLE DANCING

It has long been pretty generally
conceded that Messrs. McDevitt &
Kelly, who are at the head and front
of the skillful dancing forces attached
to the William H. West Big Jubilee
Minstrels, are by all ODDS the great
est terpsichorean artistslon any stage.
The fantastic and agile footIexercises
indulged in by these gentlemen have
ever arrested the attention of ex-
pert judges, and it has always been a
source of wonderment how the nimble
and dexterous step movements are Sc
adroit1y executed in perfect harmony
to the most dicfiult music time.

TO OPEN JUNE FIRST
New Summer Home of Sisters of St.
Mary to be Ready for Children Soon

New summer Home of Sisters of ST.
Mary TO be Ready for Children Soon
The work of removing the buildings
of the Sisters of St. Mary Summer
home IS now we'll under way, and it
is expected that all arrangements
VIII De completed for the re-opening
Of the home by the first of June. All
Of the money needed to pay for the re-
moval OF the buildings has not as yet
been raised, but it is thought that it
will De secured before the opening of
the home. In former years the Sis
tiers found it impossible to bring the
children to Kenosha until after KEN
per Hall had closed for the year, but
it will not be necessary to wait for the
close OF school this year and the chill
dren will be brought to Kenosha sew
eral weeks earlier than in other years.
The Milwaukee women interested in
the Fresh Air Mission are making
every effort to raise money for the
erection of a home for milwaukee,
waits in Kenosha this summer, but it
is not thought that sufficient money
will be secured to permit the building
of the home this year. In any event
the plan will not be abandoned and
the new building will be put up next
year. 1t is thought that about 100
children will be brought out from
Chicago this year and they will re-
main for four months.

OYSTER SEASON NEAR END
Storms We're the Cause of Shortage of
Oysters During Present Season

Storms Were the Cause of Shortage of
Oysters During Present Season
April 18th closes the present oyster
season and after that the lovers of
the shelled fish will have to content
themselves with the canned article.
The season usually lasts until about
the middle of April.
Oysters have been somewhat of
luxury in Kenosha this season. The
supply was the shortest in years
shorter than the two preceding years,
during which there has been a big
falling off in the supply. AS a result
the cost was somewhat higher than
ever before.
The last three years has seen a
gradual falling off in the supply of
oysters, according to one dealer.
While it was thought that each year
would see some Improvement, it mas
been the reverse. Next season it is
expected the supply will be as heavy
as IN many years ard fully up to the
demand. Eastern concerns have
planted large areas of oyster beds.
The present season has been re-
markab1e for the storms that have
taken place and this has been largely
responsible for the falling off in the
supply. In stormy weather it is hard
to do any fishing.

SUIT IS DISMISSED
Judge SIosson Directs Admin
strator of Henry Weismann to
Dismiss Conspiracy Action
ESTATE TO PAY THE COSTS

Judge Russell H. Slosson of the
county court, has signed an order
directing James Norm to take i'm.
mediate steps to secure the dismissal
Of the famous suit for conspiracy
brought by the late Henry .Weismann
against John T. Tigh, Anton Daniels
and James Ward, who formerly made
up the election board of the town of
Brighton. The action of the county
judge was taken at the request of the
administrator of the estate, who filed
petition IN which he stated that he
was convinced that there was no merit
IN the action and that the estate
should not be called upon to carry on
the litigation.
In the petition it was stated that the
suit had been tried in the circuit court
at Waukesha, and that the action had
been decided against Weismann and
the costs of the action taxed against
him to the amount of $50 IS. These
costs must be paid by the administra-
tor of the estate.
The case had been appealed to the
supreme court by the old attorney
some time before his death, and he
was at work on the brief of the case
when the final summons came. The
case is on the present calendar of the
supreme court and was to have been
called for argument on Tuesday April
II. BY the order of the court, this
suit will be Immediately withdrawn
from the calendar and the costs paid
by the estate.
1t is learned that there are many
other cases brought by Weismann
still pending in the circuit court of
this and Racine county, and they will
be dismissed as rapidly as they are
called for trial. It is understood that
the administrators has carefully in
vestigated the different suits and that
he is convinced that in most cases
Weisma nm had no cause for action.
The suit against the Brighton men
was one of the famous suits of the
Kenosha county circuit court. In this
action Weismann demanded damages
of SO, 900 from each of the defendants
on account of the fact that he had
been denied the right to vote in a
general election in the town of
Brighton. The defendants had been
forced to spend large sums of money
in order to contest the case in the
courts. Other cases pending in which
Weismann was interested are for the
most part for small sums claimed by
the old attorney as fees for settle
ment of estates.

Otto Muntzenberger Take an 0p-
ton on Lands North Of City for
a Manufacturing Village
LARGE CONCERNS MAY LOCATE
Former Kenosha Man to Secure Big
Tract of Land in Town of Somers
to Furnish Homes for. Big
Manufacturing Concerns

1t is reported this morning thatsOtto
Muntzenberger, a former Kenosha
man who is now in the employ of
large manufacturing institution in
Milwaukee, has secured an option on
large tract of land mile and half
north of Kenosha, which is to be used
for laying out a model manufacturing
village The land in question is said
to be the land owned by the Sturgis
estate. 1t is on the lake shore road
between Kenosha and kacine and the
tract contains in the neig hOorhood of
$50 acres. No statement is made as
to the terms of the option or the
amount to be paid for the land.
Muntzenberg er has great scheme to
make this tract Of land the home of
two large manufacturing concerns
and he has already made overtures to
the city water departme to ascertain
if it would be possible to have the
city water mains extended to the
land.
Some time ago Mr.. Nuntzenberger
came to Kenosha as the representa-
tive of the -Four Wheel Drive COM
pany of Milwaukee and he stated at
that time that he was looking for a
site on which the Milwaukee company
could locate plant which would en-
p1oy at least thousand men. AT
that time he stated that he desired
to secure about two hundred acres of
land.
The land in the town OF Somers is
splendidly located for the purposes
planned. 1t is on the main line of the
Chicago & Northwestern railway
company, the road running through
the edge of the land. The land is
high and dry and close enough to the
lake to make a charming place for
homes.
It is understood that when the deal
is closed the proposed purchaser will
give locations for two large factories
on the site and that the remainder of
the land will be subdivided into lots
and offered at low price to the men
who may be employed by the COM
panies locating there.
People from Kenosha who have
gone to Milwaukee to investigate the
manufacturing concern are enthusi-
astic in their statements that it is one
of the largest concerns Of the kind il
the world. The company is engaged
in the manufacture of automobiles
which are to be used for heavy team
ing business.
It is not known what other factories
Muntzenberge has in sight but it is
understood that several companies
making supplies for autos are seeking
locations in the neighborhood selected
by the big Milwaukee company.
The property selected for this viii
1age is so close to Kenosha that if the
plan is carried out it will mean an
immediate increase in the population
of the city. 1t is claimed that there
is plenty of money back of the scheme
and that Muntzenberger will be able
to carry out his plan as outlined Mr..
Muntzenberger was not IN the city
today and for this reason no detailed
statement of his plans could be Sc
cured. II is expected that he will
make a statement later.

AFTER RACINE THIEF
Kenosha Police Have Spirited Search
for a Horse Thief

The police officers had merry
"Wild goose chase" Monday night
just before midnight when te1e-
phone message was received from Ra-
cine stating that horse had been
stolen in that city and that the thief
was hurrying to Kenosha with the
stolen property. In short time the
officers had been sent out to guard all
entrances to the city from Racine,
and although the vigil was kept up
for several hours the man failed to
put IN an appearance.
AS he started toward Kenosha it is
supposed that he is hiding some
where between the two cities. Deputy
sheriffs were sent out from Racine
this morning and it is thought that
the man will be located,
