IGNORE QUARANTINE
Criminal Neglect Of Quarantine
Laws in Kenosha May Spread
Diphtheria Epidemic
NECESSARY TO PROSECUTE

The criminal neglect of quarantine
the attention Of the city health de-
partment and City Health Officer ].
B. Spaulding may be forced to order
arrests and criminal prosecutions in
order, to secure the proper enforce
ment of these important laws. At
the present time there are fifteen
cases of diphtheria in the city and it
is claimed that the spread of the di-
sease has been largely due to the fact
that the quarantine laws have been
ignored, not only by the parents and
guardians of people sick with the Gi-
sease, but by others who have in
sisted on going to the infested houses
regardless of the signs displayed.
A month ago there we're only few
cases of the disease in the city, but it
has spread with alarming rapidity
and while there is no immediate rea-
son to fear an epidemic, something
must be done to keep the people away
from these houses where the disease
exists. Thus far there have been no
deaths from the disease and most
cases have not been of Malignant
nature.
It is eported that woman who is
now in the city suffering from the di-
sease broke from quarantine in
Evanston while the disease was in a
dangerous state and came to Kenosha
on a Northwestern train. The Off
Gals of Evanston, when they discov-
cred that the women had left that
city at once notified the police Off
Gals here and she was found in
house on Crate street.
1t was impossible to send her back
to Evanston as this would have been
simply doubling the danger, so DR..
Spalding saw to it that she was quar-
antined here. This is only one case
of criminal neglect of the health laws
and it is claimed that similar Incl
dents are being reported almost daily.
The law in this regard is very
strict, and the people found guilty of
violating the quarantine may be ar
rested and subjected to heavy fine
or even Imprisonment. The matter
has been left in the hands of the po-
lice and arrests will certainly follow
further violations of the quarantine
orders of the health department..

Bank Policy Unchanged

While the advancement of Charles
G. Brown to the position Of secretary
aud general sales manager of the big
plant will. of course, make changes in
the First National Bank, the conserva-
tive policy Of the bank which has
made it a tower of strength in the
financial world of Kenosha for more
than fifty years will not be changed.
The present officers and directors of
the bank will retain their positions
with the exception of Mr.. Brown,
who will hold the office of second
vice president Of the bank, and he
will very largely supervise the affairs
of the bank as heretofore. AS has
been announced in this paper within
the last few days the banking build
ing will be enlarged and SO equipped
as to make it the finest banking house
in this part of the state. The change
in the occupation of Mr.. Brown will
not lower the standard of the bank In
any way and the conservative man
agement of the men who have
been directing the affairs of the bank
for so many years will not be changed
in any way. The First National Bank
will continue to be one ofth greatest
National Banks in Wisconsin and
Eeady policy of progress with a view
Of conservative banking methods will
bemaintained.
The familiar face of Cashier Charles
G. Brown will IN a measure be missed
& ON the bank, but his guiding hand
Will still have charge of the, interests
Of the people Of the city and the de-
positors ofthe bank. Mr.. Brown has
been one of the fixtures of the First
National for many years. Born and
raised in Kenosha. member of one
oft the old pioneer families he has long
occupied unique place of confidence
IN the hearts of the people.
Mr.. Brown was engaged in business
re was called from this business in
1900 to take up the important post Of
cashier of one of the largest financial
institutions in Southern Wisconsin.
1t was a new thing for Mr.. Brown but
he at once grasped the situation and
in his long years of service he has
done much to build up the business of
the institution. In ali this time there
has never been blot on the history
of the bank and Mr.. Brown will leave
h.~Adesk as cashier with the feeling.
that in his years of service thegpeop1e
of Kenosha never had anRoccasion to
doubt the strength of the institution
of which he was the practical man
ager.

Kenosha Postoffice to Have Better
Service on North and South
Trains on North Western
CLERKS HAVE LONGER HOURS

A decidedly better mail service has
been granted to the Kenosha postofice
patrons by the government officials,
and in the future the people of Keno
sha will have two more mails daily.
One will be from the North and one
from the South. The new order states
that mail is to be dispatched and re-
ceived on the trains arriving from the
North at 8:09 each evening and from
the South at 9:15 each evening. Up
to the coming of this order the last
mail to Chicago in the evening was at
6:26 and all letters mailed after that
time were forced to remain in the Ke-
nosha postoffice over night. The
North bound mail formerly left for
Milwaukee the last time during the
day at 6:l8. Under the new rule the
mails will be received and sent from
Kenosha so that they may be delivered
in the first morning delivery in Chi
cago and Milwaukee, and the mails
which we're formerly received in Ke-
nosha at ten O'Clock in the morning
will be ready for the patrons when the
Office opens in the morning.
The change works a hardship on
several of the mailing clerks at the
Office as they are now obliged to re-
main on duty to make up and distri-
butte these two mails, while under the
former order their work was complet-
ed before seven O'Clock the regular
closing hour for the postofice. The
change will be of great value to fac
tories in the city, as all of the mail
sent to the office after the closing
hour, will go out on the same evening
instead of waiting till the early morn
ing trains as was the case in former
times. The change is now in effect.

John Hoff of Milwaukee Killed in
an Unusual Accident at the
Simmons Mfg. Plant
FELL UNDER ELECTRIC CRANE
Great Mass of Iron Crashes Into his
Cage and he is Taken out Crushed
and Bleeding and he Dies
Almost Instantly

John Hof, "a years of age, an en-
ploye of the Simmons Manufacturing
company, met an awful death just
after seven O'Clock Monday when
the cage of an electric crane in which
he was riding fell from a partially
opened switch and dropped to the
ground twenty-five feet below. The
great motors used for the operation
of the crane fell on it crushing the
cage like house of cards and crush
ing out the life Of the operator. The
cause of the accident is unknown
but it seems certain that the careless
ness of Hof contributed to his terrible
death
The crane which was the cause of
the death Of the man is operated by
electricity and is used for carrying
scrap iron from the scrap heap to the
tower of the foundry. Hof, who is a
Milwaukee man, had been hired as an
expert to operate the electric crane.
He had worked in the Simmons
factory for only short time and took
charge of the crane only three days
ago. The crane is constructed to run
switch in connection with the trolley
is entirely managed by the operator
who sits in cage just above the load .
The crane weighs about three tons
and it has carrying capacity of three
tons of metal. Hoff had been operat-
ing the crane on Saturday afternoon
and in order for him to take
it into the cupola for storage on Sun
day it was necessary for him to have
closed the switch. With the switch
either opened or closed the accident
would have been an impossibi1ity.
However an investig showed that
it was partially opened and the car
had left the track and fallen with
crash.
Ont Monday Hoh went to work
just after O'Clock, and he took the
car out of the cupola and started on
his first trip. He had travelled only a
few yards when the crash came. The
men near by rushed to1the car and
found the man crushed andsbleeding.
AS soon as possible he was removed
and an ambulance summoned. The
man was dead before he was taken to
the ambulance. The body was taken
to the morgue, and Coroner Robinson
was called to hold an inquest over
the remains. A jury was summoned
which viewed the remains and also
the wreck of the crane, and the in
quest will be concluded this after
noon.
The men in charge of the work at
the plant can not see how the fatal
accident could have happened, but it
is thought possible that some one
climbed up the support to the trolley
and thoughtlessly threw the switch.
The managers of the company are
making every effort to find the par
ents of the young man, and they are
said to live either in Milwaukee or
Port Washington.

CRUSADE STILL WORKING
Police Arrest Proprietor of Garfield
House on Slot MachineSCharge

Police Arrest Proprietor of Garfield
House on Slot MachinesCharge
The police crusade against gamb-
ling III the city seems to have been
given new impetus, as on Saturday
evening Chief of Police O'Hare ar
rested Andrew Mikelsen, the proprie-
tor of the Garfield House on Pearl
street, on charge of having slot
machine in operation in his place of
business. The machine was doing a
thriving business when it was con-
iscated by the police. Mikelsen made
no effort to fight the case and he was
at once taken before Justice Sturges
where he pleaded guilty to the
charges and paid fine of ten dollars
and the costs of the action.
The police have been ordered to
keep a close watch on all of these
gamb bling devices and it is pretty GER
tain that they will be seized as fast as
they are brought out for service.
