THE BURNING QUESTION
"A Practical Suggestion for the Dispo-

The great improvement in the ap-
pearance of the street and alley ad-

an interview on the subject of street.

'sThis movement for cleaning the
city is an excellent one. We need to
cooperate, as individuals, with the

Mayor Announces That no More
Permits Will be issued for
Boxing Matches
DISTRICT ATTORNEY MAY ACT
Recent Bennett-Coo1ey Fiasco Was the
Straw Which Broke the Cancels
Back and Fighters Will be
Barred in Future

The death warrant of the fight
game has been signed by Mayor Cor
mar as he announced that no further
permits will be issued to the A1gon-
quin club for boxing matches IN
Kenosha. On account of the fact that
many people in Kenosha were in
favor of decent athletic exhibitions
Mayor German and the members of
the fire md police commission had
issued the permits from time to time
but the fasco on last Tuesday night
showed that the game had grown en-
tirely too strong in Kenosha and
Mayor German decided it was time to
stop. He is backed in his decision by
at least two of the members of the
fire and police commission and it is
probable that the entire commission
will be in favor of closing the doors
of Kenosha to the fighters in the
future.
The Algonquin club has killed the
goose which laid the golden eggs and
{ it will probably be many months be-
fore any club is organized which will
meet with the. demands of the mayor
in regard to the proper management
of the fight game.
j Mayor German wasn't the only man
whetting an ak for the prize fighting
community, as District Attorney.
Baker has for the past few days been
carefully looking up the law with a
view of putting an end to the fights
in the city.
It is very probable that the district
attorney would have stopped the fight
on Tuesday had he been aware of its
character but he had been Informed
that the exhibitions given IN Kenoskksaa
were simply tests Of scientific boxing
and for this reason he had sought no
clash with the city administration by
stopping a fight which was given
!, under city permit. The Wisconsin
law in regard to prize fighting is not
as explicit as it might be, but after
! the battles on Tuesday night the dis
trict attorney feels assured that the
matches held in Kenosha have been
fights. 1t is not probable that the
promoters of the last fight will be ar
rested unless some citizen makes a
complaint but stop will be put on
the fights in the future. The facts
are already in the possession of
Governor Davidson and there is little
doubt but that he would act prompt
" should another card of fights be ar
ranged.
Many of the sports in the city had
taken great deal of pleasure out of
the matches but even these men ap-
preciate the fact that after the dis
graceful riot of Tuesday night it will
be impossible to hold any more bouts
in the city. These sports declare that
the game has been effectually killed
in Kenosha.

FROWN on SOCIALISM,
Catholics ia Convention at DePere De-
cry Growth of Socialism

S
cry Growth of Socialism
ThesDepere convention Of the Wis
consin Federation Of Catholic socie-
tiles, which was attended by many
preventative Catholic citizens, was
exceedingly interesting on account Of
the action regarding several import
ant matters which we're up for gen
eral discussion and later covered by
resolution. The Socialist doctrine,
which has been gaining in strength
IL this city the past few years, was
giventa good deal Of criticism and the
Catholic and non Catholic laborer
alike was warned not to associate
hinlsel directly or indirectly with an
org nization which steps into the
bounds of socialistic teachings.
According to one of the resolutions
adopted Catholics must not allow
themselves to be inveigled into or
CARNATIONS which directly or Indirect
~ - principle aud in practice are
nlmical to Christian law and truth
The resolution concludes with s'Such
~ enemy to be guarded against we
declare Socialism to be in all its vary
ing phases; Goddess in principle, the
sworn fomentor Of industrial discord
and ultimately the real enemy of
labor itself. =
The divorce evil which has been
fought by the Catholic churches for
years received its share of attention
at the hands of the convention. A
resolution was adopted emphatical1y
condemning the lax laws Of the pres
ent time and confidence expressed
that federal laws doing away with the
practice will soon be enacted. All
Christians we're appealed to for their
support in combating the growing
evils of immortality, intemperance and
general profanity. The stage also re-
ceived some attention, it being the
sense of the convention that ali the
aires and actors responsible for the
staging Of immoral plays should be
refused their patronage.

COOLEY AFTER BENNETT
Manager of Chicago Fighter Says his
Man Can Stop Bennett in 8 Rounds

I. w. Johnson, manager Of Fred
Cooley, has sent a challenge to Ke-
nosha for fight with Jack Bennett
and he has offered to pay Bennett
500 if Cooley does not knock him out
in three rounds and to pay an equal
amount to any charity in Kenosha.
He is willing to have Cooley meet
Bennett at catch weights in public or
private, Bennett to select the referee,
the style of fighting and the time for
the contest.
Johnson also makes charges that
Bennett sought compromise of the
fight held on Tuesday evening and
he states that as he expected that
Bennett would make a statement that
he attempted to throw the fight he had
offered to bet $500 on Cooley.
Of course the fight cannot be pulled
off in Kenosha but it is possible that
the men will get together in some
other city.

Representative ofState Tax Com,
mission Examines Property in
Kenosha City and County
AS BASIS FOR OTHER TAXATION
State Official Finds That Kenosha
Assessors Have Placed Nearly
Full Value on All the Property
Ia kenosha County

H. E. Policy of Madison, a repre-
sentative of the Wisconsin state tax
commission is in henosha making an
examination of the books of the
register of deeds, for the purpose of
making close study of the values
placed by assessors on Kenosha
county property. The purpose Of this
investigation is of dual nature, as
the tax commission desires to secure a
basis for equalizing. the taxes Of this
and other counties and at the same
time to get some measure by which
the ad valorem tax may be assessed
against the railways doing business
in the county. It is the plan of the
commission to get the exact values of
property in the county in order that
this value may be usedin determining
the exact value of railway property.
In this manner it is planned to force
the railway companies to pay taxes on
valuation which will be as nearly as
possible the same asis paid by private
property holders IN the county.
For the past three years the state
tax commission mas selected Kenosha
county as one of the counties where
the values were to be examined and
while the work Of the commission has
not in the past resulted in any great
reduction of the taxes here it has
given the county a standing as one OF
the representative counties in the
state.
this county Mr.. Policy stated that
when he came to Kenosha county SIX
years ago TO seek similar statistics he
found that the assessments were de-
cidedly low, but that at the present
time they were pretty "stiH'' He
said that Kenosha was assessed about
as high as any county in the state
and admitted that the values placed
here were nearer the true value than
in many other counties.
Year after year the state commits
sioner prepares these figures on as
sessments. However, the state com
missioner has done nothing to take up
the inequities Of assessment IN Ke-
nosha, and the fact that property is
improperly assessed here has been no
concern Of the commission. This
matter is left entirely to the assessors
and the board of review, and what
eyer figures are placed by these men
are taken as basis for 1evying the
state tax.
The state tax will not be assessed
for two months yet, and it is impos-
sible to tell at this time the amount to
be levied against the county.

MINING COAL IN BATHING SUITS.
Seams of Fuel Found in the Bed of thu
Des Moines River.

Fort Dodge Cor. Minneapolis Journal.
Mining coal in bathing suits from tho
bed of the Des Moines river is an occupaS
ton which has been followed the last week
by several laborers and teamsters.
Large quantities of the best grade of sofe
coal have been taken from the river and
stored away to check the chill of the coming
winter, and many poor man will be ready
for Old Boreas when he makes his first
appearance in the form of a blizzard. Tho
mining has all been done just below the city
and the distance has been much shorter to.
haul 1t than from the regular mines in this
vicinity.
1t has been known for years that several
of the veins Of coal mined in this county.
passed through the river at a point just
below the city. Until recent years the river
has been too high to permit of much OF thu
coal being taken out. No one has ever gone
on record as laying claim to the coal and
while II was quite generally known to exist
there has been no move toward removingi
or using IT..
Recently several men who were idle lo-i
Gated the veins and began work They soon
attracted attention and others Joined their
ranks until many were helping themselves
The stage of water permitted of their get-l
ting it OUT without resorting to diving suits
and air hose. The temperature of the water
was agreeable to both miners and teams
used to hauling 1t. The coal when excavat-
ed showed a good quality and the men
made hay while the sun shone.
