Unofficial Peace Pact
Great Dinner IN New York Planned as Public Demonstration
Of Friendship Mystery Of Old Trindy's Millions
Fifth Avenues Hoodoo Palace

| New York, May 30.-The two most
famous fighting men OF the world, Ad-
miral Dewey and General KurolSi,
linked arms this week at the great
banquet gwen to the Japanese visitors
at the Hotel Astor. That meeting
and the banquet are likely to go down
in diplomatic history not only ON ac-
count of the Importance of the guests.
but because the affair possessed a
significance far greater than might
appear on the surface. The admins
tration at Washington, it is known,
has all along been anxious for a proper
understanding of the really cordial re-
lations existing between Japan and
this country and has been desirous of
its public demonstration as a proof of
| the obliteration of all feeling over the
California trouble, in which President
Roosevelt took such prominent part
General Kuroki had planned to return
directly to Japan from the Jamestown
exposition without taking part in any
public demonstration. The opportun-
| ity, however. was too good to be lost,
and somehow from high sources things
We're started moving. A committee was
lorganized significant in its compost
tion. Not only did it number men
who had been prominently connected
with the political life of the present
administration, such as Paul Morton,
Cornelius Bliss and Seth Lowe, but
ALSO p. S. A. deLima and others who
are laboring to extend the foreign
commerce OF the United States and to
eliminate adverse influences. just how
this committee worked Is not known,
but as result of its efforts General
Kuroki changed his plans and came
to New York to take part in d DEM
onstration of the friendly relations ex
listing between the two countries which,
may well live In International history
as has the visit Of Commodore Perry
to Japan half century ago. The peo-
pie OF New York helped along the
movement by giving the men Of the
visiting fleet q glorious time during
their stay ashore

Seven Corporations Face For.
fixture of Charters for Not
Observing State Law
MOST CORPORATIONS COMPLY
corporations Named By Secretary of
State as Failing To Observe the
Law Are Among Smaller
ORGANIZATIONS of City

Seven incorporated organizations in
kenosha are facing forfeiture of
their charters as a result of the fact
that they have failed to comply with
the state law and file statistics of the
workings of the corporations as de-
manded by chapter 500 of the Laws of
1907. The secretary of state has pub.
llshed formal notice that the
charters of all these organizations
will be declared forfeit if the report
is not filed between now and the first
day of next January. The number of
corporations in Kenosha not observ.
ing the law is decidedly small as COM
pared with other counties in the
state. There are more than a hun
dred companies in Kenosha which
have state charters and the number
not fling the statistics is less than
seven percent. La former years
many of the Incorporated companies
in Kenosha failed to observe this
chapter of the law and when the
secretary of state sent out the formal
notice last year many leading con-
Germs IN the city were among those
threatened with forfeiture of charter.
The workings of the law have app
pealed to the manufac turers and they
have carefully complied with the pro-
visions of the law this year.
The seven corporations who have
not complied with the law are The
Kenosha Masonic Temple Association,
Kenosha Pure Ice Company, Thomas
O'Donne1l Ice Company, Safety Rail-
way Switch Company, Union Hall
Company, Winter Sash and Door Com
pany, and the Woodman Hall Associa-
ton of the town of Somers. The
only companies named that are of any
moment are the Masonic Temple AS
ISOLATION and the Woodman Hall AS
ISOLATION of Somers. Nearly all of
the other companies are out of bust
ness or have never properly started
business.
The two ice companies named IN
the notice from the state have long
since gone out of business, the bust
ness having been absorbed by the
Knickerbocker Ice company. The
Safety Switch company has never
opened plant, but the company con-
trols valuable patents and it is sup
posed that the officials of the COM
pany will comply with the law. The
Winter Sash and Door company went
out of business some time ago and the
property was divided among the cred
itors. The Union Hall Association
does not appear in the city directory
and it is supposed that the organiza-
ton was one formed some years ago
to build fraternal temple and since
that time the plan has been aban-
doned. It will be seen that many of
the defanct corporations which were
named in the former report of the
secretary of state have been dropped
from the list of state chartered COM
panies the charters having been re-
voked on the first of last January.

The Lake county grand jury has

the Circuit Court and the only criti-
cism so far heard is that the bail fixed
is not high enough, although it is
plenty high enough to. hold the ac-
cused and reasonable under the Of
Tense charged. The killing of the
old woman is one of the natural re-
suits of permitting persons afflicted
with religious mania, recognized as
one of the most dangerous forms of

might be said that part of the respon-

others besides the accused. The au-

Kenosha Hospital Training School
Starts Work for New Year
With Bright Outlook
FACULTY HAS BEEN ENLARGED
Rapid Growth of the Hospital Has Of
fered Greater Chances for Young
Women to Learn Profess
sion of Nursing

The Kenosha Hospital Training
School has reopened for the new year
and there is every indication of very
successful year. Five young women
are now at the hospital entered for
the course and it is expected that the
number will be increased within
short time. With the ever growing
work at the hospital it has been found
possible to take much larger num-
Der of young women into the training
school, and there is now room for sew
eral young women to take up the
study of nursing under the most COM
petent instructors. The hospital has
done much to supply the demand for
better trained nurses in the city and
nearly all of the young women attend
ing the Kenosha school are assured
steady work as soon as they have COM
pleted the course demanded by the
state and by the Hospital Associa ton
for their diplomas.
The work in the training school for
the present year is outlined along the
same lines as the work in other years
and nearly all of the lecturers who
aided in the work during the past
three years will lecture before the
students this year. The only new
member of the faculty is DR.. c. A.
Palm, who has just completed long
term as an inferno at the Post Gradu-
ate Hospital in Chicago, and who has
been secured to lecture on several i'm
portant subjects. DR.. P. P. M. Jor-
gensen will have charge of the lee
lures on Obstetrics during the year,
Dr.. II. Cleary will give the lectures
on surgery, and DR.. Gephart will lee
ture on physiology and anatomy. SUI
perintendent Armstrong will have the
work of Materia Medica and Their
aputics. The interest in the training
school has been steadily increasing
and for this reason the directors of
the Hospital Association plan TO make
the course a decidedly attra ctive one
and one fully as good or better than
any offered in the larger hospitals in
Chicago and Milwaukee. The fact
that the Kenosha hospital takes only
a limited mum Der of students assures
to the fortunate young women a much
better training than they could re-
ceive IN the larger schools of training.
Young women desiring TO enter the
Hospital Training School may do so
by registering with Mrs. Armstrong,
the superintendent of the hospital.

STILL TAKING TESTIMONY

DeDiemar Hearing Moving Along at
the Lighthouse This Afternoon
The hearing of the evidence in sup
port of charges made by Inspector
Orchard against former Light House
Keeper L. N. DeDiemar, is still going
forward at the light house this after
noon, and many witnesses are still to
be examined. 1t is stated THAT the
work of hearing the evidence will not
be completed until some time tomor-
row. The witnesses examined con-
tinue to prove favorable to the case
of the deposed light house keeper, ex-
cept in the case of government Off
Gals who have in measure sustained
the charges made by the inspector.
1t is found however that the evidence
given by at least one of these witness
es, was largely hear-say evidence.
Mrs. DeDiemar was on the stand, as
were the two daughters of the deposed
light keeper and ali of them made
splendid witnesses for the defense.
The people residing in the neighbor-
hood have also testified favorably for
the light keeper.

THE constant inspection of the
sources of supply by the state officials
and the tests made by the City
Health Department have undoubtedly
done much to improve the quality of
the milk sold ia Kenosha and the con-
dition of dairies. 1t is comparative
1y rare thing now for the tests to dis
close impure milk or milk below
standard. Detection is almost cer-
tain and no dealer can afford to take
any chances.

Dive But Strikes Supporters
Instead Of Tank Of Water
BIG CROWD SEES ACCIDENT
Man Is Picked Up and Re.
moved to the Hospital. and Will
Recover-Arm Broken BY the q
Fifty Foot Fall

''Prof." C. Hopkins, aeronatt and
high diver, made what he declared
will prove his last hazardous jump
from a platform at Anderson park
Just before FIVE O'Clock Sunday after
noon and as result of this dive he is
now In the Kenosha Hospital suffer
ing from fractured arm and several
bad bruises. Hopkins during the
week Of the carnival had been diving
from a platform ffty-five feet above
the ground into tank ten feet square
and on Sunday when he attempted to
perform his thrilling feat he missed
the tank and came into collision with
one of the supports at the side Of the
tank His left arm was broken just
above the elbow and he was terribly
bruised and the people who witnessed
the accident are still trying to figure
out how the man escaped with his
life. Hopkins has been known as the
nerviest man in this sort Of business
ever in Kenosha but when he re-
gained consciousness Sunday after
noon he declared that he was through
with the high dive business and that
he would not mount the aerial plat
form again.
The injury of Hopkins was the
browning feature of the carnival week
at the park. Hopkins had been doing
the high dive from the platform dur
ing the entire week and on Thursday
evening he narrowly escaped striking
the side of the tank.
When Hopkins assembled the plat
form Sunday afternoon fully a thou
sand people were crowded about the
tank below and when the man dlved
to almost certain death the crowd was
plnic stricken and several women
tainted, while others fled from the
place in terror. Hopkins completely
missed his tank and instead of diving
into the water he plunged into hem-
lock support. In his fall the man
seemed to understand that he had
misca1culated and he threw out his
arm to save himself. 1t is proba BILE
that this act saved his life, as the
arm struck the support and broke the
fall. The man was picked up un-'
conscious and as soon as possible he
was removed to the hospital and DR..
]. H. Cleary called to attend him..
The arm is so badly injured that Hop
ki1s will be in the hospital for some
time. Hopkins has had number Of
narrow escapes from death during
the past summer on account Of his
daring exploits and it is thought that
this accident will result in his giving.
up the business. He is painter by
trade and has wife who is now with
him at the hospital The spectacular
accident to Hopkins practically put
an end to the carnival sport and most
of the people followed the ambulance

THE rules and regulations laid
down by the school board for the gov
ernment of the schools are made for
the greatest good of the greatest num-
Der and it is the plain duty of all
parents to assist in every possible way
in maintaining the discipline of the
schools at all times. When they feel
that they cannot do that it is time for
them to withdraw their children. AL
together too many of the troubles of
the teachers are caused by the unwise
opposition of doting parents to per-
fectly reasonable regulations.
