FOR WISCONSIN HARBoRs
Congressman Davidson Asks for $780,
900 for kenosha improvements

Congressman Davidson, represent
ing Wisconsin on the rivers and har-
borS committee, today conferred at
length with Chairman Burton about
Wisconsin demands IN the coming
bill
Mr. Davidson is confident the state
will get about all it is asking this
year, pointing out that present indica-
tions are that the bill will carry near
ly 500, 100000 and that Wisconsin is
asking much less than in the last two
bills.
Racine asks $38, 500 for maintenance
and repairing of piers and also enough
to extend the breakwater 200 feet.
No estimate of the expense of this
last item has been submitted, but it
will be over $4,000.
Kenosha wants $4,000 for mainten-
ance and enough more to extend the
breakwater 100 feet, which would cost
approximately $4,000.
Sheboygan asks $50, 600 for mainten.
ance and enough more to extend the
breakwater 100 feet.

MAY OFFER NEW SITE
South Side Of Market Square Be-
ing Proposed as Site for
New Postoffice Building
GOVERNMENT CAN CONDEMN

Business men of the city are start
ing movement to have the proposed
postoffice for Keposha located on
Market Square, and the postmaster
will be asked to send a communica
ton to James A. Wettmore, chief of
the Law and Record Department of
the Office of the supervising architect,
to consider the square as site.
In the last few days the men inter-
ested in the proposed plan have been
looking up the title to the property,
and they believe that it will be posi-
Die for the government to condemn
the land needed for the building site.
The government would demand site
120x13O, and it is believed that this
could be secured on the South side of
the square. The city would be asked
to withdraw its rights to the property
in favor of the government, with the
understanding that the full seventy
five thousand dollars appropriated for
the building should be used in the
erection of the building and the inn
provement of the grounds about it.
This would make it possible to have
Market Square cleaned up, and at
the same time the government would
have building in the verya heart of
the business district. Added to this
it would then be the duty of the gov
eminent to maintain the grounds
about the building, and one Of the
old eye sores of the city would be re-
moved.
The plan has met with a great deal
of favor, and all business men save
those interested in other sites have
spoken in favor of it. It is possible
that the government would be unwill-
ing to enter into any fight for the
condemnation of the land, but if the
land could be secured without too
much trouble the site would undoubt-
eddy prove very acceptable one.

Milwaukee Railway and Light
Company to Pay Less Than
$500 to Town of Somers
BUSINESS MUCH INCREASED

The town of Somers in this county
will receive the sum of S596.36 as taxes
from the Milwaukee Electric Railway
and Lighting company, according to
the annual report of the company
which was filed in Milwaukee on Fri
day. The total tax to be paid by the
Electric Railway company is $29, 968.02
and It will be seen that the proportion
of the tax given to the town of Somers
is decidedly small. The company
schedules SIS miles of tracks in Keno
sha county. The report of the COM
pany covers both the business done by
the railway and lighting com anies,
and it is shown that the total earnings
for the year just closed was So, 494, 1885,
81 an increase of little over $500, 600
over the earnings of the previous
year. 1t is impossible to tell what
portion of this large sum was earned
in this county, as no statement is
made of the earnings of the Mi1wau-
kee, Racine and Kenosha road as an
individual line. While the greatest
portion of the tax will be paid 70 the
treasurer of Milwaukee county, a
large amount is paid in Racine county
and considerable amount in Wau-
kesha county. Kenosha county has
much smaller mileage than any of
the other counties.
1t is stated in connection with the
issuance of the statement that the
company is planning to make many
Improvements in the lines during the
coming year and nearly ali of the in
crease in earnings will be spent in
improving the service. The first
change in service will be inaug
tomorrow when the service between
Racine and Kenosha on the M. r. and
e. will be changed to half hour SER
vice. A new schedule of the time of
the arrival and departure of the trains
over the line is now being sent out.
It is claimed that the service will al
so be changed between Milwaukee
and Waukesha and between Racine
and Milwaukee. In the future through
trains for Milwaukee and Waukesha
will leave Kenosha every half hour.
Before the end of the new year it is
stated that the company will make
changes III the line between Racine
aud Kenosha, also that it will be pos
sible to reduce the running time be-
tween the two cities to twenty
minutes. This cut in time was made
necessary on account of the compete
ton with the Chicago and Milwaukee
company.

GIFTS FOR HOSPITAL
More Than Four Hundred Dollars
Given Institution

More Than Four Hundred Dollars
Given Institution
The Kenosha Hospital is not to be
forgotten at Christmas time as, the
directors of the institution today an
nounce the receipt of two gifts for
the holiday season. One of $500 was
given by Mrs. James ]. Hoyt while
another of 500 was given by Mrs.
Nathan Allen. Added to these large
gifts smaller contribution tothe fund
was made by the members of the Sun
day school of ST. Matthews church.
The money will be placed in the
general fund and used for paying the
running expenses of the hospital.
The directors are decidedly thankful
for these gifts and while the effort is
being made to make the hospital self
supporting, great good can be done by
aiding the institution.

CABBAGE SURE TO SOAR
Buyer Declares the Price Will Reach
$50 Per Ton

The rise in the price of cabbage
within the past two weeks and the
present indications are sufficient to
indicate that by the middle of March,
those farmers who are lucky enough
to have an left can easily secure $50
per ton for them, said Frank Schultz,
representative of Chicago firm, who
has been in the cabbage district for
some time purchasing cabbage from
Somers and other outlying districts.
Starting early in the season at $4 per
ton, the price is now $14, and farmers
who have any means of housing the
crop so it can be kept, are refusing
that. Yesterday Mr. Schultz declared
that although $14 per ton was quoted
at the market price, he made several
offers of that amount to owners of
cabbage and was refused each time.
The farming country in this i'm
mediate vicinity supplies good por-
ton of cabbage for the country and
from present indications, the present
year will be the best in the his tory
Even the most optimistic farmers have
felithat $40 per ton would be the top
figure reached, but when the maxi
musn figure is placed at $50 by experts
who have thoroughly studied and
are in touch with the situation, the
conditions here look even more prom
Using than in Kansas, when wheat
booms placed the farmers of that
is stated many of the residents of the
outlying districts are planning plac-
ing their orders for 1907 automobiles.

Judge Tarrant Of Milwaukee
Files His Decision in Famous
Allen Dam Litigation
HARMS SISTERS GET $4,000
Court Holds That the Dam Was {
Nuisance and That it Was Built
With Reckless Disregard to the
Property of the Plaintiffs

Clerk of the Court Frank Waldo
this morning received from Judge
Warren D. Tarrant, of Milwaukee,
his decision in the famous suit of
Sarah F Harms and Mary M. Harms
against Charles and Nathan Allen and
the N. r. Allen Tannery. The deci-
sion awards damages to the plaintiffs
in the amount of $500, declares
that the dam is a nuisance and orders
it's removal.
The decision is an interesting one.
In making the award of damages the
court states that the dam is admitted
to be nuisance by the evidence of all
parties interested in the case. He
awards to the Harms sisters as dam
ages for permanent injury to their
free hold, 5000; for the loss in rental
value of the premises on account of
vile smells and odors, 500; for dam
ages due to discomfort to the plain
tiffs on account of these noxious smells
and doors, $500; exemplary damages,
$500. The court holds that the line Of
the creek should remain the same as
it was at the time of the trial of the
case aud he states that in making up
the damages for smells and odors he
took into consideration that one of the
plaintiffs in the action had not been
continuously a resident of Kenosha.
In granting the exemplary damages
the court says, II find that the dam
was constructed under circumstances
evincing reckless disregard of the
plaintiffs rights in the premises and
that the case is one peculiarly war
ranting a finding in this behalf" The
judgment in the action will be filed
with the clerk of the court within a
few days.
The suit was first started in April,
1905, and In their complaint the Harms
sisters demanded damages to the
amount of $4,000. It is not known
what further action will be taken in
the matter but it is possible that the
case will be taken to the supreme
court. The dam has been torn away
for some time, but it is possible that
the decision of Judge Tarrant may
open the way for the filing of other
suits against the Central Leather
Company or the N. r. Allen Company
by other property owners who claim
losses similar to those sustained by
the Harms sisters. The case was bit
terly contested in the Circuit Court
and several of the best known attor.
neys in the state we're interested in it.

c. Glover Supposed to Have Been
Dead for twenty-five Years
Seeks Estate of Sister
TO CONTEST THE Will
Attorney For the Contesting Brother
Admits That He Had Not Com
municated With His Sister
in Twenty five Years

Returning as if from the dead,
his attorney, Seth Crews of that city,
has filed an action in the County
Court to have the will of the late
Nancy Glover set aside and the prop
erty distributed according to the
state law. The case is the most re-
markable one on record in the County
Court.
James P. Glover and his sister,
Nancy Glover, had lived in Kenosha
for many years and in all that time
they we're never known to speak of a
brother Charles. Years ago it is
claimed, when the Glover family were
residents of Manitowoc, Charles
Joseph Glover disappeared. He ran
away from home and in the years that
passed the members of the family
heard from him occasionally, but
twenty-five years ago the last trace
of him was lost, and since that time,
according to the admissions of the
attorney for Glover, he had not COM
municated with any Of the members
of his family.
It is asserted that Glover is living
in Chicago, and that he has lived
there for many years. Glover did not
come to Kenosha in person to file the
protest to the will of his late sister,
but it is stated that he will be pro-
duced in court at the time the contest
is heard. Glover is now az old man,
and man of family.
n According to the viii of the late
Nancy Glover no mention was made
of the brother, and some of the people
rights in the estate.
In the formal protest against the
admission of the will to probate
Glover asserts that at the time of the
making of the will his sister was not
of sound mind and disposing memory.
He further asserts that undue inf1u-
ence was used to have her dispose of
her property to certain relatives; and
lastly, he alleges that at the time
of the making of the will the sister
was not aware of the fact that her
brother Charles was living
The document does not in any way
explain the long silence of the brother
or assign any cause for his neglect of
his sister during her last illness. In
this regard it is asserted that Glover
did not know of the illness of his
sister until after her death, and then
he read that she had made will by
which the property was left to rela-
tives in Dakota.
This action on the part of the
brother coming within a day of the
withdrawal of the contest made
against the admission to probate of
the will Of the late James P. Glover
has attracted considerable attention
among the people interested in the
case.
No date has as yet been set for the
hearing of the objections of the long
missing brother.

FUND IS INCREASED
Kenosha Schools to Receive $40,
1924 From State School
Fund for Coming Year

County Clerk w. C. Crosby this
morning received from the state
uperintendent of schools the annual
apportionment of the state school tax
for KenOsha county and this county
NiMreceive from the state the sum of
$40, 262 "a. This is the largest amount
this county has ever received from
the state for the support of the
schools and it is largely in excess of
the amount paid by the county for the
aid of the schools. The amount paid
for state aid of schools this year was
but $8,28O.75. The total school tax
levied on the county this year was
$16, 1864. With this enlarged appro-
priation from the state the county
must next year increase the school
! tax at least to the sum of $40, 262. "a
and following the usual custom the
amount to be levied next year will oe
I a few dollars above this amount. The
state aid for schools is derived from
fund raised by the collection of
licenses from large corporations do
ing business IN the state and from the
levy of seven tenths of mill tax on
all the taxable property. It is divided
among the different counties in pro-
portion to the number of children of
school age in the county in question.
The rate fer the division this year is
/ fixed at g. for each child of school
age,
/ The city of Kenosha will receive
from the fund the amount of SIP, OIL .12,
an increase of nearly $4,000 over the
amount received last year.
This money will be available for
the payment of the expenses of the
schools before the close Of the school
year and it will be forwarded to the
clerks of the different districts early
in the new year.
The state school fund is steadily in
creasing and ultimately it is figured
that the schools will be entirely sup
ported by the state. With the growth
Of large corporations within the state
this fnnd is constantly increasing,
and in a few years it will be suffi-
GENTLY large to pay back to every
county more than is paid by the
county to the state. In former years
Kenosha county has paid to the state
a larger sum than was returned by
the State Superintendent. The ap-
portionment of the state fund among
the different towns of the county is

BLEW UP THE DAM
More Troubles for Deputies in Camp
Lake Neighborhood Friday Night


Lake Neighborhood Friday Night
The dam in the ditch connecting
Camp Lake with Channel Lake
