TO SPEND THOUSANDS
Work of Placing 7 telephone Wires

tween Racine and Kenosha
MANY MILES OF WIRE NEEDED

! Engineers are still at work survey

ground system of telephone service
between thislcity and Racine. It will
be owned OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Telephone
Co. This line is also to be extended
to Chicago and it is claimed will be
the longest in the country, reaching
when completed, from Chicago to Mil
waukee. The work will have to be
rushed, for if the line can be COM

boast of having the longest under

Men in position to know state
that this north.lshore innovation in
telephone toll lines will run into the
hundreds ofsthousands of dollars. for
trenchessmust be dug, conduits laid
in concrete and cables drawn through
the conduits and attached to a COM
plicated system of coils to prevent
"cross talk"
A discovery.in telephone science by
Prof. Pupin ofsColumbia university is
the cause for this highly expensive
race between:the Chicago Milwaukee
and Newls rk-Philade1phia crews.
When this new line is completed each
of the North Shore exchanges in Chi
cago Telephone Co. will be connected
with it and thus will have the same
type of trunk line to Chicago that is
IN use between the city exchanges.
Also they will thus have connection
with thesimproved toll line from Chi
cago to Kenosha and Milwaukee.
When the line is in operation many of
the pole 1inesIthrougk the streets of
the NorthsShore suburbs will be re-
moved. Nowhere else in the country
do suburban towns and cities have the
high type of cable trunk lines for city
connection which will be afforded
when the new cable, free from Undue
ton and interference, has been laid.
Eighteen thousand miles of copper
wire, or enough to reach two-thirds of
the way around the world, will be used
in the main cable. This is exclusive
of the additional thousands of miles
of wire in the Pupin coils which will
be looped into the cable at two-mile
intervals. This will require the cable
experts to attach each of the 200 cop
per wires from exposed ends of the
cables to the proper coils twice at for
ty-fve different points, making a total
of $4,000 spices, and when the line is
tested through, if no mistakes are
found, it will be a triumph of preci-
sion. The work is now progressing.

The members of the Kenosha lodge
of Elks have decided to use every pos

John M. Kehlor as grand trustee of
the order and to this end committee
has been named to boost the candi-
dacy Of Mr.. Kehlor. This committee
IS now sending out letters to every
lodge in the United States announc-
ing the candidacy of Mr.. Kehlor and
asking aid from the other lodges. The
candidacy has met with instant sup
port from many Of the best known
Elk leaders. The sElks' Ant1er",
one of the leading Elk papers, has
come out strong for Kehlor and it is
expected that the other papers will
follow suit. There is no man III Wis
consin so we'll known nationally
among the Elks as Mr. Kehlor. He
has been member of the grand lodge
for number of years and has served
as District Deputy Grand Exalted

THERE are good many worse evils
in Kenosha than Sunday baseball
games. AS a matter of fact attend
ance o. the games keeps good many
people from more harmful pursuits.
It has been rumored that the Civic
Federation is to make an effort to
stop the Sunday games but we do not
believe that the leaders of the fedora
ton are going to start their work ia
Kenosha with any attack on Sunday
base ball. They are too wise for that.
To be a power the federation must
have public sentiment behind it and a
good many of our people who would
back up the federation in any attack
on the practice of selling liquor to
minors or on the gambling evil would
resent any interference with the ball
games. If the federation is to ac-
compsish anything it cannot afford to
ALLEVIATE large numbers of possible
supporters right at the start of its
work in Kenosha, and we believe the
leaders Of the movement are going to
take that view of the situation and let
the bali games alone at least for the
present.

KENosHA is about due for another
"mad dog scare. The dog license
ordinance has not been as strictly en-
forced as it should have been for the
past year, and there are good many
Of the kind of dogs that make trouble
running around the streets. OF
course it would be an easy matter for
the authorities to make another gem
eral roundup of the canine popula-
ton and destroy all dogs without Ii
censes, but we do not expect that
they will take this simple precaution
unless something happens to call at
tention to the fact that the license
ordinance is becoming dead letter.

the consumption of water keeps grow
ing at the present rate it will not be a

NO SIGN OF PEACE
Contest at Zion city.to 20 on AccoIa

Contest at Zion Cityto 20 on Accord
ingto the Ultimatun of DIR. Dowies
Peace negotiations, which have
been carried on in Zion City since last
Thursday between John Alexander
Dowie and Wilbur Glen Voliva, have
been declared off. The following
statement to this effect was given out
by Dowie late yesterday afternoon:
Shiloh House, Zion City, Aug 20.
All the attempts at negotiations
have ended Ia failure. | made a clean
cut proposition, but Voliva and his
adherents refused to consider it.
Then offered to consider a PROPOSE
ton from them, but it was twice stated
that they had none to offer. Hence
negotiations are closed and there is
nothing more at this time to say.
JOHN ALEXANDER, First Apostle.
Just what Dowie's "clean cut prop
osition" was neither the principals in
the controversy nor John C. Hately,
who has acted as Intermediary in the
affair, would say.
"As long. as both parties desire a
peaceful ending of the controversy, =
said Mr.. Hately, st can only consider
the negotiations suspended = not
broken off. It would be a violation
of confidence were I to discuss DR..
Dowie's proposition.
Mr.. Hate1y's optimismsis not shared
by the followers of Dowie and Voliva.
Hopes of an .a1nicable settlement of
the leaders difficulties were aroused
on Sunday when Voliva asked his
audience at the afternoon meeting to
pray for Dowie, but by the majority
of the Zionites the statement issued
by the deposed leader is accepted as
final.
Officers of the church were author
ity for the; statement that an agree
ment practically had been made aud
the report was confirmed by Attorney
5. o. Levinson for the Vo1iva faction.
Dowie was to be head of the church
and Voliva wasatossmanage the bust
ness affairs,of the city. Both sides
were anxious to end the receivership.
It was thought the agreement, if
finally adopted, will put an end to the
candidacy Eof Alfred Bliss for the
leadershipsof theEeity, and would pre-
clude the necessity of the election
which is scheduled to be held next
month. kT -

Mrs. Karpowich, Wanted for
Grand Larceny, Arrested by
metropolitan Police
POLICE INTERCEPT TELEGRAM
Woman Had Wired Her Husband tc
Join Her in New York, aud Po-
lice Promptly Ordered Her
Arrest for Grand Larceny

The theory Of The police that Will
liam Karpowich aud his wife, Mary
karpowich, conspired to rob the
bearders living at their home has been
borne out by the arrest of the Karpo-
witch woman in New York. Karpo-
wich is now in the county jail here
and It is proba bic that the woman will
be here before the end of the week.
She was taken into custody by the
metropolitan police of New York on
Monday and is being held pending
the arrival Of officers from Kenosha.
The longing of the woman and her
baby for the husband and father is the
direct cause of her being taken. It
seems that the woman went direct
from Kenosha to New York and late
Saturday evening after she had found
rooms and board she sent a wire to
her husband. 1t reached Kenosha
early Sunday morning and messen-
ger boy in searching for Karpowich
went to the police office. Chief
O'Hare met the boy and the message
was promptly opened. thread sCome
to New York at once, babyaand l want
to see you. Mary Karpowich. /" The
message was never delivered to the
husband, but the chief of the depart
ment at once sent message to New
York demanding the arrest of the
woman and announcing that Che held
warrant charging her with grand
larceny. The response was received
this morning stating that thes woman
would be held pending the.sarrival of
the officers from Kenosha.
karpowich had planned to leave for
New York on last Wednesday evening
and there is nos longer any doubt in
the minds of the police and district
attorney that the woman and man had
an understanding and that they had
carefully planned to rob the boarders
at their home. Chief O'Hare will
leave for New York to bring the
woman to Kenosha as soon as posi-
BILE. It is possible that the woman
will refuse to come to Kenosha with
out proper requisition papers and
should this be the fact it will be some
time before the red tape can be car
.ried out.
The warrant for the arrest of the
woman was issued by her husband,
but it is said that several of the
boarders at the house are willing and
ready to get out new warrant charg-
ing both Karpowich and shis wife
with grand larceny if the present
warrant is deemed insufficient to
bring the woman to Kenosha. Karpo-
witch was to have had hearing this
afternoon, but with the arrest of his
wife the hearing will be postponed
until she is brought back to Keno
sha.
The officers will make an effort to
keep Karpowich in ignorance of the
arrest of his wife and it is thought
possible that one of them will make
full confession of the facts in the
case.

SEEK MISSING BOY

Earl Sooy, Long Missing From Battle
Creek. Thought to be in Keuosha
The police of the city are making
an effort to find some trace of Earl
Sooy, Battle Greek boy II years Of
age, who is thought to be in hiding in
this city. The mother of the boy was
IN Kenosha on Sunday and sought
the aid of the police in locating her
son. The boy left Battle Greek six
weeks ago and was traced to Racine.
Since that time it was found that he
came to Kenosha. It is supposed
that the boy is at work in one of the
Kenosha factories but as yet the
police have not been able to find any
trace of him. The mother returned
to Racine Sunday night but will re-
main in this section of the state pend
ing the result of the search.

MAY BUY A CHURCH
Central Leather Co. Negotiating for
Purchase of German Lutheran


Negotiations are pending between
the officials of the Central Leather Co.
and the trustees of the German Luth-
eran church on Union street
which may result in the big leather
company purchasing all the property
owned by the congregation. An offer
has been made for the property and
the congregation has taken it under
advisement. For some time the big
plant has been encroaching on the
church property, until at the present
time the church is all but surrounded
by tannery buildings. 1t is under
stood that the price offered by the
leather company is not as large as
the members of the church will de-
mand. Should the sale be effected it
is probable that other large buildings
will be put up by the Central Leather
Co.
There seems to be no desire on the
part of the big company to make a
dead plant of the Kenosha institution
and the number of men employed
there is constantly increasing.

IN way the insurance investiga-
tons have not been unmixed bless
ingss Too many people are dropping
thei9 insurance and that is mighty
bad thing. It's the duty of the lead
ers Of public opinion to impress the
facts on the people that all of the big
companies have been found perfectly
solvent with all their! assets intact;
that the recent criticisms and investi-
cations were directed against the
methods of doing business employed
by the companies not against the
principle of insurance. Too many
of the men who are dropping their
policies are going to3regret il bitterly

THE government has the right to
call for new bids on the postofice
site, if it is found that none of those
offered is satisfactory, but it is not
likely that any such action will be
taken, and property owners with
available sites who neglected to put
in bids on the first cali will probably
not have another chance. If the
usual course is taken thezagents of
the treasury department will decide
which site, in their Judgment, is the
best at the price asked, and take that.

THE head of great railway system
has given it as his opinion that "a
good wagon road is of more benefit to
community than a poor railroad
and in every state Of the union the
people are beginning to realize that
good roads are money makers and
time savers. Kenosha county is
farther behind in the matter of road
building than in any other one thing
and unless we brace up and give this
matter the attention that its i'm
portance demands, Kenosha is going
to lose its reputation as one Of the
most progressive counties in the state.

SOME ADVICE TO VOTERS
How Citizens Should Register Their
Choice for Party Committees

How Citizens Should Register Their
Choice for Party Com mittees
How are the party committees to be
selected under the primary election?
This question is being frequently
asked as the time for the primary
election drawsIrear. Very few voters
however appear to understand how
these committees are to be selected,
and we therefore give this brief
statement of the law in order that all
may be advised on the subject.
Every voter at primary election
should write the names of three
qualified electors of his precinct on
his ballot in the blank spaces left for
that purpose. The three having the
highest number of votes shall consti-
tute the precinct committee, and the
one having the largest vote shall be
chairman of the precinct committee.
Where there is but one precinct in
ward the precinct chairman is also
the ward chairman. But where there
is more than one precinct in ward
the precinct committees elect one of
the precinct chairmen as ward chair
man.
The county committee shall consist
of the several ward, town and village
chairmen, who shall meet and elect
their own officers.
1t will be observed from the fore
going that the important thing for
every voter to keep in his mind is to
write the names Of the three electors
whom he desires as his precinct COM
! mittee on his primary ballot. When
the precinct committees have been so
selected by the voters, the other COM
mittees are provided for under the
law.
This is the feature now under dis
cussion and which the attorney
general says he gives up as another
proviso seems to conflict.
