TO LIVE UP TO LAW
Fraternal Societies Put a Hard
Question Up to Wisconsin
insurance Commissioner
DIFFERENT RAT I'm WISCONSIN

The fraternal insurance question
has come before the Wisconsin insur-
ance department in a very important
form as a result of the legislation
passed by the Wisconsin legislature
last winter on the subject of fraternal
insurance companies.
A law was passed blythe legislature
last winter providing that in the fu-
ture no fraterna1 insurance. company
should be allowed to enter Wisconsin
which did not charge a premium
equal to the adequateSrates fixed by
the National Fraternal congress.
Fraterna1 companies g'already doing
business in the state5weresexe
from the terms of the law. Now,
however, two new companies which
have been chargings less a,than the
fraternal congress rates havesapplied
for admission in Wisconsin, asking
that they be allowed to come into this
state and charge the rates demanded
by law here, but eepstheirSold rates
in force in other states. The COM
panies promise that the Wisconsin
funds shall be kept separatessfrom the
funds collected in other states, and
in fact that the insurance business in
Wisconsin shall be carried on entirely
separate from that in other states.
Two very important legal questions
are raised by this request, they being
as to whether an insurance company
can discriminate between its policy
holders in various states and also
whether the Wisconsin fund could be
so segregated as not 20 be subject for
Indebtedness of the company or asso-
citation in other states. Before pas
sing upon the request Insurance Com
missioner Beedle will obtain legal ad-
vice from the attorney general.
The Columbia National Life Insur-
ance company and the Central Life
Insurance company of Iowa have
been the first to declare their inten-
tons as to the character Of business
they will conduct in Wisconsin. The
new insurance law provides that COM
panies cannot do both participating
and nonparticipating business and
both of these comp anies state that in
the future they will do only a non
participating business in Wisconsin.

An event of great interest to pioneer
residents of Kenosha took place in
Lawrence, Kansas on last Monday
when Mr.. and Mrs. Lathrop Bullene,
former residents of Southport and Ke-
nosha, celebrated the sixtieth ami.
versary of their marriage. Among
the few of the pioneers whose mem
DRY carries them back to Southport in
1847, the marriage of Lathrop Bul1ene
and Miss Susan Reed shines out as
one of the great social events of early
Kenosha. Both the bride and groom
were widely known among the pio-
neer residents, Mr.. Bullene being a
son of one of the original settlers of
the village, while his wife was also
Que of the very early arrivals at Ke-
nosha. Mr.. Bullene is an uncle of
Judge j. V. Quarles, of Milwaukee.
The family left Kenosha lten years
after the wedding and went to Law
renee to take up their home and since
that time Mr.. and Mrs. Bul1ene had
been prominent in the affairs at Law
renee. At 8the celebration held on
Monday many of the members of the
Bul1ene family were present. not a
few of them going from other states
to attend the wedding anniversary
ce1ebra ton. Mr.. Bul1ene is now 81
years of age and his wife is four years
his junior. Mr.. Bullene has been
closely connected with theasbusiness
interests of Kansas and Missouri.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bullene have four
children living and all Of them were

be present at the marriage celebra-
ton on Monday.

labor and that under such conditions
the laborlng man would be forced to
accept all of the conditions laid down
by the employer. He declared that it
was Tar better that good social condi-
tlons be maintained in Kenosha than
that the city should hold on to all of
it's manufacturing plants, and that it
would be better for some of them to
move away rather than that the Ia
boring men should be forced to ac-
cept conditions other than had pre-.
vailed in the past.
He said that the union men we're
ready to meet the manufacturers more
than half way and to meet them at
any time. eve are not trying to tell
the managers of the plants how to run
them, said Mr.. Jacobs in conclusion,
"but only to make an effort to get to-
gether. Both the employers and the
laboriug men have now had their say,
lets get together. Yon men of money
come to us and let us come to you
Irving Robinson, the president of
the Retail Clerks Union, was the last
speaker of the evening, but his adj
dress was not pertinent to the facts
at issue in the troubles between the
Badger and its men.
All the speakers were received with
considerable enthusiasm by The union
men and their friends present.

HEAR THE REPORTS
Delegates to the State Fedora
ton of Woman's Club Make
Report to Kenosha Club
CLUBS TO DO GOOD WORK

The delegates Of the Woman's club
to the recent convention of the Wis
consin State Federation rendered
their reports of the Federation ses-
sions at the regular fortnightly meet
ing of the club held at the Masonic
Temple on Wednesday afternoon.
Mrs. George H. Eddy reported on the
business work Of the convention, Mrs.
". 2. Robinson gave a resume of the
addresses delivered and Mrs. Henry
Skinkle, the president of the club,
gave report of the social entertain
ment of the delegates.
In her report of the business done
by the Federation Mrs. Eddy brought
out strongly the action of the State
Federation in regard to the solution
of the Child Labor question and her
report showed that the Associated
clubs of the state will do much dur
ing the coming year to bring about
better laws not only in Wisconsin,
but throughout the country for the
protection of the children toi1ers.
This work proved to be one of the
most important taken up at the ses-
sions of the State Federation. Mrs.
Eddy also referred to the action of the
Federation in increasing the dues to
the Federation making the per capita
tax ten cents for the coming year.
This change will make little differ
ence to the Kenosha club as the
amount paid to the state organiza-
ton under the new plan will be about
the same as formerly paid. Mrs. Ed
dy brought out in a charming manner
many Of the interesting matters that
came up during the three days bust
ness sessions. 1t was rather interest
ing to the women of the Kenosha
club to know that the address de-
livered by the Rev. Florence Buck
was rated as one of the leading ad-
dresses of thes convention. Mrs.
Robinson ia her report of the adj
dresses spoke especially of the address
by the kenosha minister.
Mrs. Skinkie paid high tribute to
the women of the Fond du Lac club
for the splendid entertainment they
had provided for the delegates.
| The musical program for Wednes-
day afternoon was decidedly pleas
ing one, Mrs. Beatrice l. Welles play
ing five selections by Mcdowell in a
very charming manner.

NO DEMAND FOR CABBAGEs

Racine and Kenosha County Farmer
Expect to Lose Large Part of Crops
Unless the market conditions IN the
south and southwest improve during
the next few weeks, farmers will lose
hundreds of dollars in the cabbage

miles of Kenosha. The statement
was made by one of the largest deal
ers today that there is not more than
ten carloads of cabbage being shipped
in the entire belt, when there should
be fifty cars day.
Further, when the cabbage reaches

There are plenty of cars, but no

Northwestern Railway Company
Refuses to Make Concessions
to the Local Street Railway
PLAN TO ENLARGE THE DEPOT
Northwestern Officials Claim that all
the Ground the Company Has
Is Needed for an ENLARGED
Station in Kenosha

The Kenosha Electric Railway COM
pany has failed to secure any conces-
sions of ground from the Northwes-
tern~Railway company for a change
IN the route of the electric line about
the Northwestern station, for on
Wednesday the officials of the COM
pany notified Mayor German that it
would be impossible for the company
to make any concessions to the Elect
rio company in the way of granting
them ground to change the road at
the corner of Pearl and West Main
streets.
The Electric Railway company had
asked that the railway company give
the Electric company the right to run
across corner of the land owned by
the Northwestern lin order to cut out
the two curves that would be neces.
sary in getting over Pearl street at
West Main street. Mayor James Cor
man took up the matter with the rail-
way officials, but in his letter to the
Mayor on Wednesday w. D. Cautil-
lion, the perintendent of the Steam
Railway company, declared that after
due consideration the company found
it would be impossible to allow this
ground to be used by the Frost COM
pany. It was stated in the letter that
the Northwestern company had found
the Kenosha station entirely too
small for the demands of the COM
pany, and that plans were now under
way for the enlargement of the Keno
sha station.
It was stated that the company was
also considering plans for using cleo
trio power on trains on that road and
that within three years the North
western company would probably be
running cars on a trolley system.
The company holds that when this
plan is adopted all the ground that
can be secured will be needed for the
The letter also intimated. that IN the
very near future the company would
take up plans for the rebuilding of
the Kenosha station and in that case
all the land owned by the company
would be needed in order to afford a
place for carriages to stand.
Pending the negotiations for the
land desired the officials of the local
line had placed no order for the spec
ial work needed for the turns at Pearl
street, and the decision of the railway
company will greatly delay the COM
pletion of the local electric lines on
West Main street, superintendent
Russell stated this morning that it
would be impossible to get the special
work for this line in less than six
weeks. This will not be allowed to
delay the paving of West Main street
and the laying of brick on the street
is now we'll under way and the street
will be completed as soon as possible
regardless of the delay of the railway
company. The contra ctors for the
paving were anxious to have the rails
laid before the brick went down, but
this is found to be an impossibility,
and the work will not be delayed for
the railway company. Every day lost
makes it seem more impossible for
the company to get the line in by the
time specified in the ordinance.

SHOWS NEED OF NEW COURT
Racine Municipal Court Greatly Re-
duces the Work of Circuit Court

Calendars for the November term of
the Racine county circuit court have
been received by Kenosha attorneys
and the attorneys see in the compari-
sion OF the calendars of the two coun-
ties new evidence of the demand for a
municipal court in this county.
There are but thirty cases noticed for
trial on the Racine calendar while the
last calendar of the Kenosha circuit
court had sixty-seven cases for trial.
The Racine calendar has but three
criminal cases where there we're more
than thirty of this sort of cases to be
tried IN Kenosha county. 1t is shown
by the lawyers that many minor cases
which are tried by the circuit court in
this county are tried in the municipal
court IN Racine. With such court
IN this county the work of the circuit
court could be reduced by at least one

that it is almost impossible to dispose

CONTEST THE WILL
Sister of Late Leander Merrick Objects
to Probate of Will of Rec1uses

Sister of Late Leander Merrick Objects
to Probate of Will of Recluses
Heirs of Leander Merrick in all
parts of the west will be asked to de-
fend their rights to the fortune left to
them under the will of Merrick, which
was filed for probate in the County
Court'two weeks ago, as Mrs. Lavan-
cia M. Williams, of Brooklyn, N. Y,
this morning filed in the court con-
test against the probate of the will.
Mrs. Williams is a sister of Merrick
and by the terms of the will no pro-
visionsis made for her to receive any
portion of the estate.
Leander Merrick5was an old recluse
who lived in the town. of Randall, in
this county, for many years, and who
was finally taken in hand by the au-
thorities of the town and a guardian
appointed for him. At the time of his
death he left property to the amount
of $50, 1000. His will was an unusual
one and he asked that the property be
divided between his nieces and neph.
ews. In the petition for the probate
of the will twenty nieces and nephews
were mentioned and it was supposed
that each of them would receive in
the neighborhood of $1,000. Two of
the heirs mentioned in the petition
for probate were the daughter and
son of Mrs. Williams, who has con-
tested theswill. Haw1ey w. Merrick,
of Delavan, was named as the execu-
tor of the will.
In the notice of contest to the pro-
bate of the ewill Mrs. Williams de-
clares that the will was not executed
according to law, that the testator
was not of sound mind and disposing
memory when the will was made, and
that undue influence was used by
Hawley Merrick in securing the dis
position of the property of the old
man.
One of the provisions of the will
was that should there be contest
against the probate Of the will the
contestihg heirs should receive no
part of the estate. On account of the
large number of heirs and the large
amount at stake ii is thought that the
contest will be one of the most bitter
will contests ever seen in the courts
in this county.
