BUILDING MAY
REDUCE RENTS
Only Few Property Transfers
Recorded So Far THIS
Week

Building operations in the city have
been retarded somewhat recently by
the weather and the storm Of yesterday
and the day before will prevent the
contractors from doing anything for
more than a week. All outside opera
tions will have to be abandoned COM
pletely and because Of the cold wealth
er very little inside building is being
carried on. The snow will interfere
with the contractors supplies compan-
les also. and they will have great diff
iculty in getting their materials to the
various sections of the city.
However, this will be only temporary
and from present indications the COM
ing season is going TO be one Of the
greatest i'm the history of Wilmington
Builders. investors and real estate men
have come to realize that there must
be more homes OF the medium size in
this city and to this end a great effort
is TO be made 20 supply them.
1t is expected hundreds of houses will
be put up in all parts of the city They
will as a rule be of the ordinary size
suited TO a family of from two to six
members and there is no doubt that the
builders or owners will have little trou-
bic in disposing of them. When these
are completed rents will undoubtedly
take a drop, for they are now at the top
notch and every one IS complaining
about the exorhiiant prices they have
TO pay for poor houses in undesirable
locations.
The Transfers.
Real estate transfers were not num-
erous this week and nothing OF import
ance was transferred. Those recorded
at the city registry bureau were as

For the information Of motor cyclists
who cling to their mounts during the
freezing months it may be stated that
trouble with the carburetor, arising
from the cold. must be handled with
good, practical sense. If you are in n
hurry, the only safe way to proceed
is TO swathe the carburetor in cloths
which have been dipped into hot water
and well wrung out OF course there
are other ways OF applying artificial
heat, but they are apt to convert your

MAY CONTEST WILL
Relatives of silent Smith" May Seek
to Secure Fortune of Millionaire


to Secure Fortune of Millionaire
Kenosha people will watch with
more than usualinterest the develop
ments in the proposed contest of the
will of. the late James Henry Smith,
of New York, which is now being
threatened by relatives. There are
hundreds of people in different parts
of the country, many of whom live in
this county and in Lake county, ILL.,,
who claim under the estate. The Ke-
nosha relatives of Mr.. Smith are in
no way connected with the contest
of the will but should the will be
broken by eastern contestants they
would undoubtedly receive share of
the property. James Henry Smith
has done much for his relatives re-
siding in this part of the country.
At the time he came into the vast
fortune of fifty million dollars by the
death of his uncle he at once made
arrangements for the proper education
of all his kin in the United States and
during the last ten years sixteen
young men and women of this i'm
mediate neighborhood who claimed
relationship to the silent broker have
been educated at his expense. It is
stated by the attorneys of Mr.. Smith
that he had already set aside fund to
provide for the continuation of this
work. It is possible that some Keno
sha people will receive large sums in
the division of the property. The
remains of Smith will reach New
York in about month and it is ex-
pected that several Kenosha people
will attend the funeral.

SELL MANY BOOKS
keHosha People Take Advantage
Of Lower Rates as offered BY
the Northwestern Road
mo EFFECT ON CHICAGO RATES

The ~ cent fare rate now prevails
on the Northwestern road. The new
5OO-mile books can now be purchased.
While they are somewhat smaller than
the regular 2,0OO-mile books sold by
the companies for years, they are bet
ter lifted for the upper vest pocket
and easier handled by both conductor
and the public.
On the face of the books are num-
Der of lines on which are to be written
at the time of the purchase the James
of all persons in the family. BY so
doing it will be impossible for another
person to ride on the ticket.
Under the new rules Of the railroad,
as they are in force today, travellers
must pay the old rate for tickets car
ry1ng them beyond the State lines.
In order to get the advantage of the
lower rate passengers in travelling out
of the State will be forced to buy tick
cts carrying them to the station near
est the State line at which the train
stops. Upon arriving at this point
the travellers will have to leave the
train and buy new tickets for the ball
ance of their journey. Therefore
person Ntraveling to Chicago would
have to purchase ticket from here
to Winthrop Harbor, and there.get off
and buy a ticket at the three cent rate
to Chicago, as Illinois has cent
fare. But the Illinois legislature is
even now passing cent fare law
that will go this State one better.
One ruling of the railroad compan-
les is to the effect that reduced rates
for special excursions will be COM
puted on the old tariff of three cents
a mile. The new rates will be of no
benefit to clergymen. They will con-
tinue to pay fare at the rate of half
the three cents. 1t is expected that
the rate of two and half cents will
have great influence upon the in
crease of travel throughout the State,
and cities throughout Wisconsin are
looking for increased trade from the
smaller towns and farmers.
Many books have been sold in Ke-
nosha, but all are for travel north of
the city and the Chicago traffic is un-
affected.

Decomposed Body Of a Man
Found Floating in Silver
Lake Friday Afternoon
FIND BODY or W. 0'REILLY
O'Reil1y Had Not Been Seen in the
Neighborhood of Silver Lake for
Many Months. But Had Form
erly Worked There

Quite mystery developed at Silver
Lake on Friday afternoon when the
decomposed body of William O'Reilly,
who formerly worked at the village
but who had not been seen there in
many months, was removed from the
waters of the lake. The body was
discovered by Fred Swartz, the
general manager for the Jefferson
Ice company. Swartz was walking
along the shore of the lake when he
saw the head of a man far out in the
lake. The head appeared as if the
man was wading in the water and
Swartz attempted to signal him but
found no response to his signal. He
went to boat house near the scene
and secured boat and rowed out to
where the head was bobbing above
the water. He found that the body
was standing erect as if the man was
walking. Calling some of the men
from the neighborhood, the remains
were removed from the lake.
O'Rei1ly was well dressed and wore
heavy overcoat and from the condi-
ton of the remains it was evident
that he had been in the water for
some time. It is thought possible
that the body had been frozen in the
ice and that it came to the surface
with the breaking up of the ice during
the recent warm weather. A coron-
er's inquest over the remains was
held by Justice Blum and verdict
of death by drowning returned. The
remains were inferred at Silver Lake
cemetery this afternoon.
O'Reilly was Canadian by birth,
and was about so years of age. He
formerly worked for one of the Ice
companies at the lake, but had not
been employed by any of the compan-
les during the present winter season.
He disappeared from Silver Lake at
the close of the ice cutting season
last year, and had not been seen in
the neighborhood since that time.
The fact that he wore an overcoat
when he was drowned is pretty good
evidence that he had not been at
work on the ice just previous to fall
ing into the water.
The body was So badly decomposed
that it was impossible to tell whether
or not the man had met with foul
play, but it is generally believed that
the drowning was accidental. Some
of the friends of O'Rei1ly at the viii
lage believe that he returned to Silver
Lake with the opening of the ice sea-
son to go to work, and that he fell
through the ice and was drowned be-
fore he began any regular employ
ment. So far as could be learned the
unfortunate man had no relatives in
this county.

rifled pockets in earnest, and, while
its admirers yer saying "Dear little
