ON TO PHILADELPHIA
Kenosha EIks Planning to Send a
Large Delegation to Annual
Meeting of Grand Lodge
KEHLOR FOR GRAND TRUSTEE.

Kenosha Elks are much interested
in the arrangements being made for
the convention of that order which
will this year be held in Philadelphia.
The opening day for the meeting is
July Is, and it is expected that a
large delegation from Wisconsin will
attend the reunion.
Of the many plans now under way
for the reunion is one which will
prove particularly interesting to the
many musical organizations that are
expected to attend.
The committee in charge of the con-
vention has decided to do away with
the band contest, which at many of
the previous conventions has been the
cause of Misunderstanding and some
bitter feeling. Instead the committee
has planned to present every lodge
bringing a band of thirty pieces with
purse of 500. To the lodge that is
accompanied by the largest band
there will be presented in addition to
the 500, special prize of $500 and
a second prize of 5000 goes to the
lodge with the second largest band.
The conditions are thatEevery band
desiring to obtain the 500 purse and
compete for the larger prizes must
take part in the massed band parade
which will be held Wednesday morn
ing, July IL, and also appear in the
line of march on the day of the big
parade, which will be held on Thurs
day.
Philadelphia bands ard bands from
nearby cities will not be eligible for
these prizes. There will be special
purses for them, and the method Of
awarding them will be announced in
later bulletin.
The committee is planning to give
the visitors a treat in the form of a
visit to the League Island navy yard,
one of the largest naval stations now
in operation.
It is believed that in the month of
July there will be assembled at the
Philadelphia yard several CT Uncle
Sans biggest warships and it is the
intention of the committee to secure
for all visitors the privilege of going
aboard and inspecting the.vesse1s.
The members of the Kenosha lodge
of Elks are taking an especial inter-
est in the coming Grand Lodge meet
ing on account of the fact that John
M. Kehlor, past exalted ruler of the
Kenosha lodge, has beensproposed as
a candidate for the Office of grand
trustee of the order. Mr.. Kehlor's
friends promise to make hot fight
for his election and he will have the
support Of the Wisconsin lodges as
well as many lodges in Illinois and
other western states. Mr.. Kehlor is
widely known in Elkdom and is de-
cidedly popular with the members of
the Grand Lodge of the order.

Former Sheriff Of County Charged
With Negligence in the Es-
cape Of John Birk
HELD TO THE CIRCUIT COURT
Former Official Valves Examination
and Gives Bonds in the Sum of
One Hundred Dol1ars-Stil1
Hunting for Birk

The troubles between the Circuit
Court and former Sheriff John H.
Veitch over the escape of John Birk
from the county Jail last year, came
to a head Saturday evening, when
the former sheriff of the county was
arrested by Chief of Police O'Hare
on charge of violating the State law
by negligently allowing prisoner,
John Birk, to escape from the county
jail, of which he was the custodian.
Veitch was not forced to go to Jail or
even accompany the officer to the
court room, but after he had been
served with the warrant he went to
the office of Justice of the Peace B. 0.
Sturges and stated that he would
waive examination. Under this action
the court held him for trial at the
March term of the Circuit Court
under bonds Of 500. The bonds we're
furnished and Veitch was released
from custody pending the calling of
the case IN court.
District Attorney Baker, when asked
in regard to the case, stated that the
former sheriff had been arrested under
the statute charging him with neg
ligence, and that it was possible to
fine him to the amount of the fine of
the man who is alleged to have
escaped.
The story of the case is we'll known
Birk was arrested on charge of as
sault with intent to great bodily harm
and was found guilty on charge of
assault. He was sent to jail for long
sentence, and after serving only a
few weeks he made his escape. No
trace of him has been seen since he
took French leave from the jail and it
is supposed that he has managed to
get away.
In speaking of the case this morn-
ing the former sheriff said: II have
put up my bonds to go before the
Circuit Court and if the Court insists
will be forced to pay the tne. Since
retired from Office have been MAX
ing every possible effort to get some
trace of Birk but thus far the chase
has been without result. We have
been told that Birk was at work at
various places, and although these
clues have been closely followed he
has not been found.
It is thought that the case will be
tried at the March term of the Court,
but it is not one of the cases noticed
on the criminal calendar It is
stated that the district attorney acted
on the case at the urgent demands of
the circuit judge who has taken a
great interest in the escape of Birk,
and who issued the first demand on
the sheriff that the prisoner be pro-
duced in court.
This is the first action of this nature
ever brought in this county, and for
this reason it will be watched vita a
great deal of interest.

REVERSE THE FIGHT
Camp Lake Farmers Bring an Action
and Injunction Against Getting Bros.


Summons and complaint was filed
in the Circuit Court this morning in
an action brought by Charles and
Robert Runyard, Carrie Faulkner and
Fred Schreck against the Getting
Brothers Ice company. With the suit
is filed an injunction issued by Court
Commissioner A. E. Buckmaster, re-
straining the defendant company
from entering the lands Of the plain
tiff for the purpose of putting up any
dam to stop the flow of wa Ter out of
Camp Lake. In the suit the farmers
do not ask for specific damages, but
they demand that the dam now built
be removed and that the court award
such other relief as is just and equit-
able. The suit is for trial at the
March term.

CHAIRMAN IN MADISON
Charles B, Reinardy Taking Hand in
the Senatorial Contest


the Senatorial Contest
1t seems evident that call was
sent out for gathering Of the faith
ful at Madison, as Charles B. Rein
'ardy, chairman of the Republican
county committee, was in the state
capitol on Thursday and Friday con-
ferring with the representatives of
this and other counties. 1t is known
that Chairman Reinardy went to
Madison to look over the senatorial
contest, and chairmen were called in
from other counties presumably for
the same purpose.
1t is understood that the kenosha
county committee is favorable to the
election of Congressman Cooper to
succeed Senator Spooner, but no
official announcement has been made
of this fact.
Chairman Reinardy returned home
Friday evening. Few people in the
city knew that he had gone to Madison
on political business and at the post
Office it was given out that he was i'll
at his home.

MISS BLACKMAN A BRIDE
Miss Stella B1ackman and Julius Remus
Quietly Married Sunday Evening

Miss Stella B1ackman and Julius Remus
Quietly Married Sunday Evening
There was quiet little wedding at
the parsonage of the First Congrega-
tional church at O'Clock Sunday
evening, when the Rev. E. T. Farrill
united in marriage Miss Stella Black
man, daughter of Henry Blackman, of
Kenosha, and julius Remus, a son of
Ludwig Remus, of the town of Bristol.
Only few of the immediate friends
and relatives of the contracting par
ties attended the wedding.
After the ceremony at the parson-
age the wedding party went to the
new home of the couple in Bristol,
where wedding dinner was served
and reception held. Mr.. and Mrs.
Renrus will make their home in Bristol
and will be at home to their friends
after the first of April. Both the
bride and groom are we'll known in
Kenosha and in the county and they
have the best wishes of a host of
friends

MAY HAVE PRIMARY
sop1e of the State May Vote for the
Successor to Spooner

The state legislature may not elect
the United States senator to succeed
John G. Spooner, who has rendered
his resignation to take effect May /,
but primary election may be held
and the voters of the state will de-
termine who shall be the United
States senator for the term ending in
1909. There is little doubt but that
the man elected to fill the unexpired
term of Senator Spooner would be
elected for the six year term begin
ming In 1909.
1t is understood that Gov. Davidson
and Lieut.. Gov. Connor, the political
leaders of the state, are in favor of
the election of the United States
senator by the primary law and not by
the legislature. 1t is believed that
both Davidson and Connor would like
to go to the United States senate, but
do not want to clash with the mem
bers of the legislature and thus de-
sire that the people elect the United
States senator.
Attorney General Frank L. Gilbert
is engaged in the hair-splitting task
of drafting an opinion as to when the
legislature should elect senator. Up
TO this time he has not arrived deti-
nitely at his conclusion, but from the
general trend of his conversation
with mem bers and newspaper men it
IAN be gathered that he leans to the
opinion that the legislature cannot
legally begin balloting until the sec
ond Tuesday after May l.
Such a decision on the part of the
attorney general would tend to help
the chances of resolution leaving
the nomination of a senator to a
special primary. And this in turn
would tend to interfere with the work
Of the legislature by keeping poll
tics uppermost ia the minds of the
members until after the primary and
finRl election.
