WILL PROVE INNOCENCE
Jas. Powers Recently Sent to Waupun
Claims He is Innocent

Jas. Powers Recently Sent to Waupun
Claims He is Innocent
James Powers, poor simple minded
man who was sent to Waupun for
year on charge Of grand larceny,
has stated to Sheriff Pfennig that he
is anxious to get out in order that he
may bring to justice the man who is
really guilty of the crime for which
he is serving a sentence. Powers
told Sheriff Pfennig that he was not
guilty of the charge and what was
more to the point that the man who
was guilty of the crime was sitting
IN the court room when Powers was
found guilty. Powers told the sheriff
that there was nothing for him to do
but accept his punishment patiently.
1t is claimed that the view of the mat
ter taken by Powers is shared by some
of the Court officers and it is possible
that an effort will be made to have
the man pardoned by the governor.

WALDO is SHOWN
Man Charged With Burglary Found
Guilty and Sent to Waupun for Year

Man Charged With Burglary Found
Guilty and Sent to Waupun for Year
Edward Waldo, the Welshman who
was tried on charge of burglary in
the Circuit Court Thursday after
noon, is now on his way to the state
prison at Waupun. The jury con-
victed him just half an hour after
they got the case and he was sem
fenced for year. Waldo demanded
that the district attorney "show him"
and the attorney certainly did.
There was not a bit of evidence IN
favor of the accused man save his
own and it was so confused that it
contributed to the result of the trial.
AS he left the cou room lie prisoner
practically admitted mis- guilt, as he
turned to the deputy in charge of him
and said, 81 knew that basket would
be the ruination of me-" Waldo
started for Waupun this morning.

AN INTER CITY LEAGUE
Racine and Kenosha Amateurs May
Play at Central Park this Season.

Racine and Kenosha Amateurs May
Play at Central Park this Season.
Alder man James Decker of Racine,
an ardent base ball fan, was in Keno
sha Thursday seeking to form an
Inter City Base Ball league to include
teams from Racine and Kenosha. His
plan is to have a six league club with
games each Sunday. It is claimed
that he has secured three amateur
teams from Kenosha to enter the
league and an equal number from
Racine. Decker plans to secure a
lease of the Central Park Grounds for
the season and have the games played
there. The plan is to play two games
each Sunday and in this way work off
full schedule during the season.
The Kenosha amateurs seem to be
very much in favor of the plan and
they promise TO go into the league
with zeal. The Central Park grounds
have not as yet been leased for the
season and there is little doubt but
that the Inter City league can secure
the grounds.

WITH ROD OF IRON
voIiya Prepares to Make Himself
a Second DoWie With Peo-
Pile Of Zion City
MAY BE HIS OWN UND0ING

Wilbur Glenn Voliva has issued an
u1timatum,in Zion. Unless the peo-
pie submit to him on May he will
take radical action himself, he says.
Voliva denounced every one who
has opposed him. He walked excited
ly up and down the stage and initiated
Dowie's fervid. speeches of two and
three years sago. He took as the oc-
casion for.nisaultimatum the anniver-
sary of his election of Dowie from the
church, having expelled the late
leader one year ago Sunday.
81 say, tosyou, officers and people,
that one month more will give you,"
he said. "On May l, if you do not
make radical move, I shall make
one, and put stop to this criticism
of me"
He then recited his own deeds,
claiming she had made Zion what it
was. He also said he would make
the community the wonder of the age,
and set it strongly on its feet
financially. OF the 1, 500 persons pre-
sent, 1000 said they would follow him.
He then launched into denunciation
of those who would not submit. He
said that, while he would consider
the advice of his counsel, he would do
as he saw fit and continue the one
man rule.
The arrival at Zion Saturday of
Gen. John A. Lewis, John Alexander
Dowie's choice as head of the Christ
ian Catholic church, from Mexico
brought the religious battle between
the Dowie and Voliva forces in the
north shore city to a climax. Gen.
Lewis conferred with the followers of
the dead apostle on the plans for the
campaign to GUST Voliva and regain
possession of the church.
The will of Dowie in which he
names Gen. Lewis as his successor
and leaves the bulk of his personal
fortune to Zion if Voliva is overthrown
will be filed this week in the Lake
county courts.
Gen. Lewis is gathering re Dowie
leaders around him and NEE ngs will
be called in Zion City . 81 gin the
attack upon Vo1iva within lew days.
It is planned to proclaim Lewis as
the chosen general overseer with much
pomp as soon as the will is filed, and
an appeal will be made to the people
of Zion City to stand by him as DR..
Dowie's successor.
On the fling of the will a contest
for supremacy over Zion will be in
augurated. It is expected that
Voliva will fight against the efforts
of the Lewis forces to gain control of
the church.

THERE is a decided objection on the
part of many property owners to GER
tain clauses in the new sidewalk or
dinance, and it is possible that the
ordinance will be amended in some
important particulars before it is
finally passed. The Council ordered
the ordinance published in order to
get the views of the property owners
on it, and it is evident from the num-
Der of protests brought out that it was
wise move on the part of the alder
men to test public sentiment before
putting the measure through.

LONG CHASE ENDS
Jos. Schipt Wanted for Giles
Robbery Arrested at His
Home in Stevens Point
0'HARE FINALLY GETS MAN

One of the most determined chases
for criminal ever made by the police
of Kenosha came to close "Wednesday
night when Joseph Schipt, a young
man wanted for the robbery of the
GILES grocery store, was landed in
jail by Chief of Police O'Hare. The
police have been on the trail of Schipt
since the 18th of March and the fellow
was finally located at his old home at
Stevens Point. Since the day of the
robbery at the GILES store the Stevens
Point house has been watched by de.
tectives and when Schipt returned
there on Tuesday to vote the Kenosha
chief was at once notified and he left
on the first train for his man. Schipt
has led the Kenosha officers a great
chase since the day of the robbery.
He was in Stevens Point, in Fond du
Lac and Chicago and the officers
wrote more than thirty letters IN re-
gard to the case. The case was
handled entirely by Chief O'Hare and
Assistant Chief Newhouse and the
two men had made several trips to
Chicago on reports that Schipt We
there. He was finally traced by
means of woman with whom he is
alleged to have left Fond du Lac.
On the way to Kenosha Schipt con-
fded to the chief that he would be
able to clear up the Giles robbery
and it is thought that this means that
he will make full confession of the
crime.
The robbery took place on the after
noon of March II when something
over 800 was taken from the Giles
cash drawer. Schipt will have a
hearing in Justice Court late this
afternoon.

FEW VOTED FOR JUDGES
Reports Show That Entire Vote of the
County is in Favor Of Marshall

Reports Show That Entire Vote of the
County is in Favor of Marshall
The returns of the election held in
the different towns of the county on
Tuesday show that the people of Ke-
nosha county took little or no interest
in the election of Chief Justice of
the Supreme Court, and less than 600
votes we're cast in the county on the
Judicial ballot. Judge Belden got
nearly all that were cast, his vote
being 610 in the whole county, and
181 of these we're in the city. Justice
Marshall, who seeks re- rejection, re-
ceived Az, and William Townsend
Scudder,. who opposed Marshall, re-
ceived 1873.
One of the most interesting facts in
connection with the vote in the towns
was the fact that Assemblyman Wal
ker M. Curtiss, Of Trevor, who ran
for the Office of Town Chairman of
the town of Salem, was defeated by
Thomas Fleming by a majority of
sixty votes. 1t is evident that
prophet is not without honor save in
his own bailiwick.

GIVEN A DECREE
Mrs. Marguerite Tyler Gets Divorce
From Her Husband, Walter Tyler

In the Circuit Court late Thursday
afternoon Mrs. Marguerite Tyler was
granted divorce from her husband
Walter Tyler. The couple formerly
resided in the town of Pleasant
Prairie and nearly a year ago the
husband disappeared under very un-
usual circumstances. Every effort
was made to locate the man, but no
trace of him has been found. It is
alleged that the wife never heard of
him again. At first it was thought
that he had met with foul play, but
it is now stated that the woman be-
lieves that her husband deliberately
deserted her and their little.baby. In
the action for divorce the wife plead
ed cruel and inhuman treatment,
failure to provide and9habitual drunk
ness. The disappearance of Tyler
was not mentioned in the suit. Mrs.
Tyler was granted the custody of the
one child and was given Judgment
for the costs of the action.

The Government Officials Finally
Break Their Silence in Regard
to kenosha Building Site
SITE MAY HAVE BEEN PICKED
People Are Notified That They Can
Make Suggestions as to Site Up.
the First of May When the
Deal Will Be Closed

Secretary of the United States
Treasury George B. Cortelyou has f.
nally broken his silence in regard to
the site for the proposed government
building IN Kenosha and it now seems
possible that the government officials
will act at an early date and select a
site for the building. The first COM
munication was received by Post
master Maloney on. Wednesday. 1t
is given over the signature of George
B. Cortelyou, secretary of the treas
ury and reads as follows:
NOTICE.
Notice is hereby given that final
consideration will be given and Sc
lection made of site for the United
States government building to be
erected at Kenosha, Wisconsin and
purchase thereof closed on the first
day of May, 1907.
Persons desiring to submit further
statements in writing, relative to any
of the sites offered, are informed that
their communications will receive
consideration if on file before the
date named.
GEORGE B. CoRTELYoU,
Secretary"
It is not taken that this letter will
make possible the offer of further
bids on the size, but that the argu-
ments for and against sites now un-
der consideration will be considered.
It is evident from the communication
that the government is not planning
to bubble about the prices asked for
the property in question and that no
effort will be made to condemn prop
erty other than that already offered
to the government. If the purchase
is made on the first of May it is
thought possible that the work of
building will be started blythe end of
the summer or the opening of the
fall, butt is pretty certain that the
new building can not be completed
until some time next year.
Agents of the government who have
visited Kenosha have stated that the
plans for the building have already
been made but it is possible that
changes may be found necessary after
the site is selected in order 10 make
the proposed building conform with
the site. Many sites for government
buildings In Wisconsin have already
been selected and the cause for the
delay in selecting the site in Keno
sha has not IN any way been explained.
The building at P1atteville is
planned for completion this year.
The site for the building at Beloit
has been selected as has the site at
Waukesha. 1t will take nearly a
month to finish up the purchase of
the site in Kenosha so that under the
conditions it will be impossible to
break ground for the new building
until after the first of June.

The British government deliberately
intrusts the conquered Beers with

over the heads of British majority Of

THE water commissioners should
begin to consider ways and means of
extending the intake pipe at least
half mile farther out in the lake.
The work should be done this sum-
mer if possible. We were lucky
enough to get through the winter
without any stoppage of the water
supply, but that danger is always
threatening in cold weather, and it
would be foolish to take such risks
another winter if it can possibly be
avoided. Then there is the pollution
of the water to consider, and it is be-
lieved that the only way to make the
water absolutely safe is to extend the
intake.

SECOND ANNUAL BALL
Knights of Columbus Entertain Large
Crowd at Cermania Hall

The Kenosha Chapter of the
knights Of Columbus gave its second
annual dance at Germania hall on
Thursday evening and fully FIVE
hundred guests accepted the t1ospi-
tally of the Knights. In honor of the
event the hall was beautifully decor
ated with palms and flowers while
flags and banners completely hid the
walls of the room. Many guests came
from other cities. the Racine chapter
sending down delegation of forty.
Refreshments we're served at mid
night after which dancing continued
until early morning. The committee
in charge of the affair is entitled to
great praise for the success of their
undertaking.

Kenosha County Farmers Almost
Unanimous Against Sheridan
Drive Proposition Bill
RUSH PETITIONS TO MADISON
Referendum Vote Held in Connection
With Town Elections Shows
Sentiment Overwhelmingly
Against Project

The farmers of Kenosha county
have given an overwhelming verdict
against the proposition to complete
the Sheridan Drive through Kenosha
county, and this morning eight petit
tions are on their way to Madison to
show the sentiment of the people of
the rural districts in the county. The
petitions were practically referen-
dunn vote. They we're sent out by
Assent lyman Walker M. Curtiss to
the men in charge of the elections in
the various towns with the request
that every man voting express his
opinion in regard to the Sheridan
Drive bill now being considered by
the legislature. The result was al
most q unanimous protest from the
people of this county. There was no
petition in favor of the road, and
such petition was not needed, as
men from the different towns declare
that while one or two voters in each
town declined to sign the petitions,
they were not strictly in favor of the
|
land, Salem and Randall the petitions
we're signed by nearly every one cast
ing vote at the town election.
The petitions were brought to Ke-
nosha by the election officials on
Wednesday afternoon and they were
sent on to Madison this morning in
order that they may be in the hands
of Assemblyman Curtiss before the
bill comes up for final action. Even
in the towns of Pleasant Prairie and
Somers, which will be greatly bene-
flied by the building of the road, the
sentiment was against the bill.
The petitions we're also signed at
the various town elections in Racine
county and it is declared that the pro-
test from that county is just as emp
hattie as the one from Kenosha county.
From the latest returns it is found
that fully six hundred voters in Keno
osha county signed the protest. With
this action on the part of the rural
districts the City Council of Kenosha
will probably be asked to take some
action IN regard TO the matter ana 1t
is possible that resolution will be
presented at the special meeting of
the Council to be held, on Friday eve
ming.
Voters from Paris and Salem talk
ed freely about the petitions on We'd
nesday declaring that they had no
objections to the completion of the
road but that they believed that it
should be built at the cost of the state
or at the cost of the property owners
directly benefited by it. The bill to
provide for the survey of the road
was presented by Senator Fairchi1d
of Milwaukee. 1t has been favorably
reported by the committee on state
roads and it is possible that it will be
passed despite the protests of the Ke-
nosha and Racine county farmers. It
is planned to take the bill up in the
Senate on Saturday. Senator Isaac
T. Bishop of Somers has been deci-
dedly hostile to the bill and he is ex-
pected to lead the fight against its
passage.

Discussing the principle involved in
employers liability enactments, the
Iron Trade Review says: 1.-THE present
is no situation upon which to build a
mass of legislation. TO give the in
jured employee the right of redress
through suit is poor way Of protecting
him. He is usually in no condition to
prosecute suit, while the employer is
driven, by the knowledge Of many I'M
just decisions and the misapplication
of damages when paid, to make a
strenuous defense. Legislation to in
crease the protection would be better
than legislation assessing money dam
ages"

TIE people directly benefited
should build the Sheridan road if it is
ever built. The towns of Somers and
Pleasant Prairie should be willing to
pnt a fair percentage of the money
they raise for road building into the
project, but the other towns in the
county should not be expected to con-
tribute for the road.

Meat and Muscle.

To eat meat or not to eat meat ?fthat
is the question. But there is no ques-
ton that the meat eating problem has
been approaching the front with in
creased rapidity during the past few
years. Ever since the late Mr. Glad
stone said, or was said to have said,
that every bite of meat should be chew
ed exactly thirty-three times before
swallowing, most Of us have remember
ed Gladstone when masticating a por-
terhOuse or chewing a hunk of pork
We have pondered long the meat eat
ing problem. Does meat impair our
digestion? Does 1t make us feel ..dopy 2"
Does it coarsen our spiritual fiber?
These indeed are meaty questions, and
1t behooves us to pause between chews
and consider.
Professor Irving Fisher Of Yale is the
latest scientific advocate Of the non
meat diet. The professor has tested
the relative endurance Of young men
who eat meat and young men who alb
stain from it. The abstainers, or veg
etarians, win out every time in field
athletics They do the calisthenic pro-
gramme to the limit without fatigue,
while the meat stuffed students tire
early in the game. One abstainer from
meat was able to hold out his arms
three hours, while his opponent in the
test, who likes his beefsteak and his
chop, cried "'Nuffy' In just nine min
utes.
"You eat too much meat" the aver
age doctor nowadays will say. ''I'm
afraid I'm eating too much meat" the
average sedentary citizen will say.
But very few of us have the courage
or the good sense to cut down the al
lowance. We go right ahead eating
meat as Of old, because we have ac-
quired the habit. We seek to justify
the habit, too, on the ground that man
kind has eaten meat since the days Of
the prophets.
1t Is quite possible that we need ex-
ercise more than we need a strictly
vegetable diet. This applies particu-
larly to city jewellers. Modern condi-
tons are too comfortable to be con-
ducive to healthfulness. We ride when
we ought to foot it. We sit indoors
when we ought to be out saving wood.
Both sides of the controversy have
stout arguments. Your vegetarian will
point to the rice eating Japanese and
their fighting qualities. On the other
hand, your meat eater will point to
the beefy Briton, who has conquered
scores Of peoples the world around and
built up an empire on which the sun
never sets except upon cloudy days.
But scientific tests do not take all
kinds of men into account, nor do they
cover 300 and some odd days endur-
ance every year for long years Of Ia
Dor. Vegetarian diet is the cheaper,
yet if the output of muscles produced
by it is also cheaper the gain may
prove a loss in the end. 1t takes a
matter of twenty years feeding to
build up a mans working muscle, and
1t is unreasonable to suppose that it
can be reformed or built ever again in
few weeks or months of experiment.
