WORSE THAN ALCOHOL SLAVERY
Clay Eaters Unable to Give Up De-
qradinq Habit.


Clay eaters are found in the West
Indies, Honduras and some of the re-
gions round the Orinoco. They are
not necessarily of any particular
tribe, for even whites have fallen vic
tins to this degrading and fatal hab-
it. The habit is contracted at as ear
ly an age as ~ years, and the crav-
ing once acquired appears to be ire
sistible. Confirmed clay eaters will
lie down and lick the earth where
the edible clay Is found.
They suffer from chronic dyspepsia
and emaciation; but. in spite Of the
pain and weakness, they cannot do
without the clay any more than the
confirmed drunkard can do without
his alcohol In some localities this
clay is whitish gray, sometimes yell
lowish-pink. There appears to be
lime in it, and also the remains Of
minute organisms. 1t Is sometimes
eaten baked and sometimes raw.
A confirmed clay eater will take
four, five or even six pounds day.
Water is drunk with 1t. At length
the habit seems to give an aversion
not only to other kinds of food but
also to alcoholic drinks. AS soon as
this stage is reached the eating of
clay invariably causes death.

NOT LEGAL
New Citizenship Law Passed by
the Last Congress to Cause
Some Trouble
MUST CHANGE FIRST PAPERS

The first citizenship papers will be
made invalid by the new law adopted
by congress, which goes into effect
within two months, and that full citi-
zenship or second papers can not,
therefore, be secured, based on these
first papers, is the opinion Of clerks
of court who have read the law. The
new law requires that the first certifi-
cate which is issued to the prospective
citizen should contain the age, occu-
patton, description of the person,
place of birth, date of arrival in this
country, name Of the ship, and the
present address Of the applicant, and
as the present first papers do not con-
tain these, it is the opinion that these
will be made invalid and cannot be
recognized when application for full
citizenship papers are made.
"The effect of the new law in my
opinion will be far reaching" said
an official Tuesday, eff my views are
correct. / estimate that there are
2, 500 men IN this county who possess
first papers only, and it will be impos-
sible, even if we work night and day,
to issue second papers to these 800,
and many therefore will not be able to
obtain second papers. The new law
requires certain answers by the APP
plicant whichsthe old law does not de-
nand, and cannot see how we can
issue second papers based on the first
certificate, which under the new law
is incompetent.
Whether or not the right to vote
will be taken away from those pos
sessing first papers, because of the
new law, none will venture to say.
Congressman Stafford, of Mi1wau-
kee, when asked as to the probable
effect of the new law, agreed that the
first papers would be invalid as soon
as the new law will go into effect.
But the right to vote could not be
taken away from those who have Sc
cured first papers, according to the
opinion Of Mr.. Stafford.

WIN FIRST VICTORY
Council, on Petition Of Outdoor
Art Association, Removes Dray-
men From Market Square
MUST SEEK OTHER QUAR- TIERS

The Kenosha Outdoor Art Associa-
ton won its first victory In seeking
reforms in the city Tuesday night,
when the association presented a Pc
tition to the city council asking that
action be taken to secure the clearing
of Market Square. TO this end the
petition asked that all drays and pea
nut stands which have been allowed
to obstruct the square be removed to
other quarters.
The petition was received by the
council and favorab1y acted on and
the chief Of police will in few days
be ordered to force the draymen and
all other people who obstruct the
square to stmove on
For years Market square has been
the gathering place of the draymen.
In the days gone by when single
parcel delivery wagon did the larger
part of the business in the city it
made little difference whether the
wagon stood on the square or on Main
street, but with the growth of the city
the dray business has grown to larger
proportions until at the present time
there are no less than dozen wagons
which take up quarters on the square
daily.
Ia urging the removal Of the wagons
the association stated to the council
that the action would be perfectly
fair to the men as all would be forced
to seek new stand. 1t is understood
that the draymen will be asked to
use the stand at the corner of Church
and Market street.
The business men of the city have
joined with the members of the asso-
citation in this effort to clear Market
square and the order of the council
will undoubtedly be enforced to the
letter by the police officers of the city.

Yacht "Vanda1o With Pirate Crew Be
1ieved to Have Met With Disaster .
The members of the Kenosha life
saving crew have been asked to make
an effort to find some trace of the
yacht 'sVanda1" owned by Newell
Ellis of Milwaukee, which has been
missing for the past two weeks. It is
thought that the yacht and it's oc-
cupants have met with misfortune
somewhere on the lake and it is pos
sible that she has gone down with all
on board.
It is alleged that the boat was
stolen from the Milwaukee bay by
three young men from Grand Rapids,
Mich, who disappeared from Mil
waukee on the night the boat was
stolen. Not trace has been found
of the missing boat and the officials
now believe that the stolen vessel and
her pirate crew met with disaster. It
is thought possible that the boat has
drifted ashore in some out of the way
place along the lake and for this
reason the life savers at all ports are
being urged to rake special search
for the boat.

OUTDOOR ART IN WAUKEGAN
Enthusiastic Meeting Adopts Plans
for Park System


for Park System
Several members of the Outdoor
Art association attended an enthusi-
astic massmeeting held at the
Schwartz opera house in Wankegan
last evening. Mr.. George Lyon in
troduced Mr.. Dwight Perkins in the
absence of Mr.. Whitney. Mr.. Per-
kins gave an interesting account of
the park systems of this country
mentioning the work of Mr.. Charles
Elliot. Of Boston, and of Olmstead in
connection with other parks of the
East, notably New York, Washington,
Baltimore and Chicago, which owes
its park systems to him, and which
covers over 80, 900 acres.
He spoke of the natural advantages
which the cities Of the north shore
possess, and explained by maps what
could be done in Waukegan to pre-
serve the lake front and the ravines,
which form in themselves beautiful
natural parks and driveways that could
be readily connected with Marine
park with athletic field. play grounds,
swimming pools and yacht parties.
Mr.. Perkins remarks were followed
by stereopticon slides taken from the
ravines and available surrounding
country and proved his assertion by
his charming views that no where
around could be had more beautiful
natural conditions than are to be
found in the very heart of the city.
Land for the Marine park must for
the most part be acquired as the city
has IN its possession only two lots on
the shore, but there was suggested by
many photographs of unsightly ash
piles and rubbish heaps, just how the
foundation could be laid and how the
gradual filling ia could be done, thus
providing city dumping place.
Congressman Foss spoke with much
enthusiasm Of the proposed plans,
promising to do all in his power to
further them should they be adopted.
His idea Of parks not only for respira-
ton but inspiration and aspiration
appealed to an already sympathetic
and interested audience, which was
made up of the most cultured and
progressive people of Waukegan. 1t
was most interesting to hear all that
has been accomplished through the
efforts of this association.
Among those present were Mr.. o.
G. Sinonds, landscape architect, the
captain who has planned the new
naval station of the north shore, and
one of the prominent North Western
railway officials.
The work which the Waukegan
people are undertaking is most COM
mendable and must surely inspire her
northern neighbors, who with less
labor ard much less expense can com
p1ete park system second to none in
the state Of Wisconsin.

MET WFUL INJURY.
Logan ShadweIl, Stranger in the
City, Crushed Under a North
Western Train Tuesday
RIGHT LEG WAS kMPUTATED

Logan ShadWell, young Eng l1sh-
man, who has been IN America for
less than three months was terribly
injured in the yards of the North
Western Railway company just after
s O'Clock last night when IN attempt
ing to board a passenger train he lost
his grip and fell under a freight train
going in the opposite direction. His
left leg was fractured and his right
foot so badly mang1ed that it was
necessary to amputate it just above
the ankle. The injured man is now
at the Kenosha hospital and while his
injuries are very serious it is thought
that he will recover.
Shadwell had been in Kenosha only
a few hours. He is a man of educa-
ton and had evidently been we'll
trained in his native land, but since
coming to this country.he had been in
hard luck aud had been forced to &C
cept work as a 1aborer on the new
railway to the west of the city. He
came to Kenosha Tuesday afternoon
and had planned to go.to Chicago. He
had small amount of money and had
started to the station to catch the $40
train.
AS he passed the Park street cross
ing he noticed that the train was pull
ing out and he decided to attempt to
board it at the crossing. He walked
across the east track, and just before
he jumped on the passenger train a
freight came up from the south. No
one witnessed the accident, but it is
supposed that the young man slipped
from the steps of the train and fell
under the freight. The injured man
was found unconscious by the train
men, and as soon as possible an am
bulance was called and he was re-
moved to the Kenosha hospital. Drs,
Wickstrom and Cheever were called
to attend the injured man and it was
found that the right foot had been so
terribly mangled that amputation was
necessary. This morning Shadwel1 is
resting easier and it is thought that
he will recover.
The officials have not as yet been
able to learn anything of the past life
of the injured man, as he is decidedly
communicative.

THE automobilists are considering
ways and means of forcing the North
western railway to lower its tracks
crossing Prairie avenue at West Main
street to the level of the avenue. 1t is
very annoying to have this obstrrc-
ton right in the middle of the speed
way, forcing the machines to slow
down to thirty miles an hour right in
the middle of the course. II the
tracks could be lowered, the regular
racing speed of from forty to fifty
miles an hour could be maintained the
whole length of the street.

ZION BAND QUITS
Band Failed to Get support and Con-
cerfs are Abandoned

cerfs are Abandoned
The bands of the north shore towns
that have been fighting the Zion City
band and trying to keep it from their
towns by claiming it was shutting
them out may now rest in peace, as
the Zion City organization has died a
natural death and its members are
calling for work in the lace factory
and the other organizations where
they were employed before they joined
the band.
The final action Of disbanding was
taken Saturday night. The reason
for the move was lack of money, as
the band has not been making ex-
penses.
The disbanding came after a hard
fight for existence. The band was
started some time ago and planned to
give concerts on alternate nights in
all the towns along the shore. In
some. of the towns it gave them, but
in Others opposition was too strong or
they were not allowed to do so.
Two concerts we're given in Keno
sha and both were excellent ones and
we're we'll appreciated BY the people.
Ready money, however, that was
needed by the association was not
obtainable, 40 orders were received
By them and the final step Of disband-
ing became necessary.
The members plan to go back to the
work they left before the band was
started and several that were working
ia the lace factory have applied for
their old positions.

TIE practice of carrying concealed
weapons is becoming altogether too
common IN Kenosha. Apparently a
good many people are losing fait,' in
the power Of the law to protect them
at all times and in all places and this
lack of respect for the law and its
powers is no credit to the authorities
charged with its enforcement. Pre-
sumably the man who carries a gun is
ready to use it and the prospects are
good for some murder trials in our
courts in the near future.

THE small boy is only going back to
nature when he hops into the lake
these hot days, and there should be
some place set apart along the beach
where he could enjoy himself without
fear of the police. A municipal bath
house would De the proper thing, but
since that is beyond US, at least give
the bathers chance somewhere along
the water front. This lack Of bathing
facilities is always one of the first
things criticised by visitors to the city
and it must be admitted that Kenosha
makes very little use Of its natural
advantages.
