TO HAVE DEFENSE
County Clerks Of the State of
Wisconsin To Be Pro-
tected by State Laws
WANT sIMPLIFIED LAWS

The Wisconsin County Clerks AS
sociation at its second annual session
at the St. Charles hotel, Milwaukee,
Wednesday adopted an amendment to
its constitution authorizing the execu-
tive committee to exer cise the power
of the entire Association. This
amendment gives the committee
power to rally to the defense of any
member against whom suit may be
started to recover moneys collected
for services under the state laws.
The position of the Association re-
garding conn ensation was set forth
in a paper by County Clerk F. O..
Phelps on NEEDED Legislation Per.
tanning to the Clerks Office"
"What our Association wants is
that its members shall have what is
due them under the law, no less, no
more" said Mr.. Phelps. "When we
appeared before the State Legislature
and asked for bill to make plain the
laws as they now exist, it was de-
clared a political scheme.
eve want nothing what is not just
ly due, and we want no more laws,
not repeal of laws, but sim lifcation
of the laws as they exist that it need
not be necessary to take case to the
supreme court to find out what is in
tended by them"
Ia opening the convention President
|. M. Staufacher, of Monroe, explain
ed that it was intended that the
organization shall protect the mem
bers against 'cheap legislation by
cheap Legislators" He argued a
greater enthusiasm in members in the
united effort to secure proper laws.
Grant D. Harrington, Of Elkhorn,
in an address on what the association
can accomplish, urged the mem bers to
support the law requiring the sec
rotary of state to call meetings of the
clerks, and requiring the counties to
pay the expenses of their respective
representatives

ZIBALKER is GUILTY
Kenosha Co. Goes on Record as
Opposed to Intimidation Of
WOrkmen During Strikes
LONG FIGHT AMONG JURORS

The Circuit Court of Kenosha coun-
ty went on record against the use of
intimidation to prevent workingmen
from working during strikes at two
O'Clock this morning when a jury
found Matt zibalker, a former EN-
ploye of the N. r. Aliens Sons Tan
merry, guilty of intimidating workmen.
The verdict in the case which is
one of the most important ever re-
turned by a Kenosha County jury,
was reached only after a long fight
among the jurors. The Court had
given the jurors two forms of verdict,
finding zibalker guilty or not guilty
Of charge of breaking into the
tannery with another count of intim-
idating workmen. The jurors
wrangled from FIVE o'clock Thursday
afternoon until this morning at
two O'Clock before; the verdict was
reached and the principal contest
among the jurors was the fact that
they could nots find evidence to sup
port the charge of breaking into the
building. 1t is declared that one
juror held out for hours for the con-
viction of Zibalker on charge of
breaking into the building and in
timidating the workmen by drawing
a revolver but the others claimed that
the evidence did not support the
count of breaking into the building.
Under the verdict of the jury Ii
baker may be fined 500 or he may be
sent to the state prison for term not
exceeding two years. A hard fight
was made to save Zibalker from con-
viction, as it is declared that the de-
cision of the Court and jury will be
far reaching so far as Kenosha is con-
cerned. 1t is thought that the con-
viction of zibalker will go long way
to putting an end to violence during
labor disturbances. During strikes at
the Allen tannery there have been re-
peated shows of violence, but the men
arrested have been released either
without fine or with light fine, and
for this reason they had come to be-
lieve thatsthe law in regard to the in
timidation of .workmen was a dead
concerned. The fellow countrymen
of Zibalker had watched the case with
a great deal'of interest and it is certain
that the conviction secured by Dis
trict Attorney Baker will have wide
effect in case other strikes occur at Ke-
nosha institutions. The attorneys for
the defendant moved to have the yer.
dict set aside and for a new trial, but
stated that they would not argue the
motion, and Judge Belden announced
that he would take up the matter late
this afternoon. This is the first trial
of the sort to take place in Kenosha
county, and District Attorney Baker
and the men behind the prosecution
of Zibalker will seek to have fine
assessed which will make the repeti-
tion of this crime decidedly rare with
in the jurisdiction of the Court.
Later. Zibalker was fined two
hundred and fifty dollars and costs or
five months in jail.

TO GET MORE PAY
General increase for the Clerks
Employed in Kenosha Post
Office Starts July First
BUSINESS SHOWS INCREASE

Postmaster John 3. Maloney has
received communication from the
Postoffice Department instructing
him that with the first of July the
salaries of all clerks in the Keuosha
office will be increased by 500. The
new ruling will also apply to the car
riers now at work in the office, and it
means an increase in salary of a SUBJ
stantial nature for nearly every man
IN the Office.
In connection with this order a new
regime is to be put into operation,
and the clerks and carriers are to be
divided into four grades, depende Mt
on the length of service ia the Office.
The first grade clerks are to receive
salaries of 5000, second grade $500,
third grade 5000, and fourth grade
81, 900. Under this grading every
clerk in the Office save one will re-
ceive the increase in pay, and the
postmaster has now written to the de-
partment asking that the clerks be
placed on the pay given to the clerks
in first class offices, SO that the in
crease will effect all clerks, and the
one clerk now receiving $1,000 will
receive S1,10O.
The carriers have now been receiv-
ing $3.50 year, and under the new
ruling they will be increased to 5000 a
year. Two clerks ia the Office will
receive at least 81, 900 year, one will
receive 5000, and four $500, while the
new clerk that is to be put on the
first of July will begin work at 5000.
The removal of the Simmons Man
ufacturing Company's office to Keno
sha has added large amount of WORK
to the local Office, and another clerk is
needed to take care of this mail alone.
The mail is now the heaviest from
any of the Kenosha factories, and it
is stated that it will be much larger
when the work Of arranging the office
is fully completed. The coming of
the Offices Of the company greatly
increases the income of the Kenosha
| postoffice, and there is no doubt but
that with this business the office will
become first-class office on the first
of July.
With the change in class it will be
an easier matter to- secure additional
help for the clerks.

CAR THIEVES BUSY
Loot Valued at $3.50 Stolen From
Northwestern Cars While In
Transit to Harvard Junction

The Kenosha police3 force has been
| asked to make an effort to locate
| daring bandIof car thieves that have
| been working along the Northwestern
road between Milwaukee and Harvard
Junction and who in the past few days
have stolen merchandise from the
cars to the value gilmore than $3.50.
The greater part of the merchandise
was taken from a single car which
had been shipped from Milwaukee
and which was billed to Harvard
Junction. ]. When the car reached
Harvard function it was found that
the seal had been broken and a great
amount of merchandise taken. The
/ list of stolen articles includes eleven
suits of clothes shipped by Friend
Brothers, Of Milwaukee, valued at SIS
each, twelve pairs of pants valued at
four dollars each, six pairs of shoes,
six pairs of patent leather shoes and
five pairs of children S shoes. The
detectives of the company have been
following up the thefts and it seems
thai there is strong suspicion that
the car was burgled while it was be-
ing transferred at Kenosha. All of
the stores in Kenosha have been
visited and the police can find no
place where the stolen goods were
offered for sale, but the fact that
clothing is handled by many stores IN
the city and some OF is purchased
from the Milwaukee house makes it
very hard to trace the stolen goods.
In the past few years the railway
company has had several cars broken
open and in almost every case the
cars were found to be properly sealed
when they reached Kenosha. The
working of this gang of car thieves
has been most daring in this city and
the surrounding country during The
last few years and every possible step
will be taken to break up the gang.

Judge Scissor Closes Famous
Fight by Admitting to Probate
Will Of Nancy Glover
Q CHICAGO CLAIMANT GIVES UP
Attorney for Charles Joseph Glover
Refuses to Pull Chestnuts Out of
the Fire for Others-End
Of Long Fight

The long and sensational contest of
the last will and testament of the late
Nancy Glover, which promised to
bring to light a skeleton in the closet
of one of the pioneer families of the
city, has been brought to an end, as
Judge S1osson has issued an order adj
hitting the will of the late spinster to
probate in the County Court, and this
action will put an effectual end to the
fight for the little property left by
Miss Glover and by her brother, the
late James Glover. 1t would be posi-
BILE for the contesting relatives of the
Glover family to carry the case to the
Circuit Court, but it is pretty certain
that no steps of this nature will be
taken, and the property left by Miss
Glover will be divided in accordance
to her wishes. Charles A. Tarbe1l
has been named as executor of the
will and he will settle the estate.
The contest Of the Glover will has
been one of the most sens tional ever
known in the County Court for Keno
sha county. There were practically
two contestants, Charles Joseph Glover
of Chicago, and Henry Glover, a
brother, who resides in Walworth
county. The contest of Charles Jo-
phi Glover, was such fancifu1 one
that it attracted wide attention.
Glover, who had never been heard of
by the surviving relatives of Miss
Glover, claimed to be son of Col.
Peleg Glover, the father of the tes-
tator, but he admitted that Miss
Glover had never known of his exist
ence.
Attorney Seth Crews, of Chicago,
represented the claims of the Chicago
man and after looking into the case
he sent the Court letter few days
ago formally declining to continue
the contest Of the will and declaring
that SO far as he could see he would
be simply pulling chestnuts out of
the fire for others to eat. If Glover
made good his contest he would not
be permitted to share under the estate
for at best he could only prove him
self half brother of the testator.
The story of Glover was an interest
ing one and many people had hoped
that the matter would go to trial
for the sole purpose of bringing out
the interesting facts alleged by
Glover. Glover claimed to be a son
of Col. Glover by second marriage
but after the attorneys representing
the various people interested in the
case they declared that it would have
been an impossibility for the contes-
tant to be legitimate son of Col.
i Glover. AS to the contest filed by
Henry Glover it never formally ap-
peared in the County Court records
but Attorney John B. Simmons, of
Racine, had been retained to look
after the interests of the Walworth
county relatives. Attorney Simmons
was notified and failed to make any
contest to the probate of the will and
after the withdrawal of the Chicago
contest the way was clear to admit
the will to probate.
The property divided by the will is
not valued at more than few thous-
and dollars. It will be given to re1a-
tives living at Lisbon, S. D.

Chicago & Milwaukee Railway
Interested in New Ordinance
introduced in Chicago
WILL ELEVATE MANY LINES
Chicago and Milwaukee Expects to Be
Able to Land Passengers in the
Loop District Within the
Next Three Months

An agreement by which the Chi
cago & Milwaukee Electric Railroad
company can get its cars, with their
passengers into the loop district of
Chicago has been completed.
If the Chicago City Council acts
favorably on an ordinance to electrify
the tracks of the st. Paul in Evanston
SO that the electric can get it's cars
over these tracks and connect with
the Northwestern L, then a great and
lasting convenience is assured pa
irons of the road.
AS related in the News some weeks
ago, theA IDEAL is that the ST. Paul
track be opened to electric car SER
vice between a point near Church
street and Wilson avenue in Evans
ton.
e. and M. cars will then run to the
end of the roads tracks, between
Church and Davis streets and then
onto the St. Paul tracks to Wilson
avenue where the transferral to the
Northwestern will be effected.
The new Identification ordinance
for the Evanston branch of the st.
Paul railroad will come before the
Chicago trans portation committee to-
day at the first meeting held by that
committee IN almost three months,
and the proposed connection of the
steam road with the Northwestern
IL" has been assured the support of
the North Shore Rapid Transit Asso-
citation.
This body claims to have about D.
600 members and to control 10000
feet of street frontage in Argyle
Park, Edgewater, North Edgewater,
Rogers Park and Brentwood. It has
been in existence a month and is
headed by Samuel Dalton, as presi-
dent. In statement issued today it
makes the following claims regarding
the ordinance:
THE ordinance provides for the
electri6cation of the present Chicago,
Milwaukee & St. Paul tracks, limit
ing these to three, two for passengers
one for freight; the proper guarding
OF all street crossings, by both auto
matte gates and fagmen; Scent
fare from city limits to al stations on
the loop, and express service to city
over the Northwestern 81" road with
out change of cars and with night a
well as day service.
"The railway companies promise
that steam cars north of Wilson ave-
nue. will be discontinued and freight
traffic limited to requirements of this
district and that the same will be
moved with electric motors, thus
doing away with the noise, dirt, and
smoke caused by steam power. It is
promised that all trains will stop at
the regular established stations north
of Wilson avenue. The question of
the elevation Of the track is left en-
tirely for future action"

O'DONNELL ESCAPES AGAIN
Kenosha Inmate of Racine Hospital for
the Insane Again at Liberty

Sheriff Pfennig has received a com
munication from the officials of the
Racine hospital for the insane asking
them to make an effort to discover
the whereabouts Of Henry O'Donnell,
; former Kenosha man who escaped
from the asylum on Thursday.
O'Donnell was traced to Racine and
there all trace of him was lost and it
is thought that he will make his wav
back to his home in this city. The
missing man IS perfectly harmless.
He has been at the asylum for some
time and tnis is the second time that
he has escaped this year. When he
escaped few months ago he went to
Racine and accepted position with
a Racine factory and worked with
such ardor that he even refused to
quit for his meals. His actions
caused suspicion on the part Of the
manager Of the plant and he notified
the police and O'Donnell was returned
to the asylum.

There was quiet little wedding in
Kenosha just after six O'Clock Friday

The ceremony was performed on a
court order issued by the county

was over Mr.. and Mrs. Gall returned
to Chicago. 1t was admitted that the

other week. In the meantime the
friends of the bride learned of the

AN EXPENSIVE LUXURY
Standard of Weights and Measures Will
Cost County Large Sum If Installed


Cost County Large Sum IF Installed
County Clerk Jones and County
Treasurer Marx have been making
Investigations leading to the purchase
of standard set of weights and
measures to be used in the county.
A demand for such standard has
been made on the officials and it is
thought that the county can be forced
to buy one. Here are some of the
fancy prices that must be paid by the
county ifit purchases the standard as
directed by the state department of
weights and measures: an adjusting
balance and case to cost SIPS; set of
standard weights, $24; a set of Troy
weights, $40; one yard stick, $22; set
of standard liquid measures, $34 and
a set of dry measures, $50. Added to
this will be the cost of installing the
standards and the cost of city or
county sea1er. 1t is proba BILE that the
County Board members will be of the
opinion chat the county can struggle
along while without the standards.
