New York. Feb. 4-Thomas F. Ryan
put an end today 10 all talk of his being
interested in the corporation William J.
Oliver, Of Knoxville, Tenn. has organized
to support his bid for the contract for
digging the Panama Canal Mr.. Ryan
issued this statement
Il have never been consulted by. or
asked 10 join with, any party or individual
in building the Panama Canal or financing
the successful bidders. While I believe that
the completion OF this great work within
credit upon any body of men, 7 do not
intend, directly or indirectly, TO be con-
cerned IN the enterprise.
There is a possibility that John 3. Nc
Donald. one OF the leading contractors
in the Oliver group. may sever his con
nection with the inter Metropolitan. Of
which he is vice president, in charge of
construction, and devote his entire TING
TO the Panama project if the contract
is awarded 20 the Oliver corporation.
The certificate of incorporation of the
Panama Construction Company was filed
i'm the Office Of the secretary of state
at Albany this morning. Among the in
corporators are Charles II. Ackert, r. A.
Chester, and 2. J. Brennan, of Washing
ton.
The companys authorized capital is
S5.G00000, and 81 l,5C0000 is paid in. The au-
thorties al Washington announced that
they would require s3.000.0o0 cash capital
and 100000 subscribed. 1t was not said

the exception Of Frederick c. Stevens.

and George p. Hartman. Mr.. Stevens
name is omitted from the list, although
he has been the moving spirit i'm the
financing of the enterprise. Il was sug-
gested yesterday that Mr.. Stevens prob
ably preferred not to have his name Off

COWBOY GIRL DIES HERE
Mrs. Julia Rowland KiIroy Died in Ke.
nosha Saturday After Long Illness

Julia Rowland Kilroy, Julia Row
land) an actress, thirty-eight years of
age, and until few weeks ago the
leading lady in the Cowboy Grip
died at the Pennoyer Sanitarium Sat
urday night after two months ill
ness from general paresis. Mrs. Kill
roy was the wife of William Kilroy, a
well known Chicago theatrical man
ager and sister of Edward Rowland
of the firm of Rowland and Clifford,
well known in the theatrical world.
The death of Mrs. Kilroy is thought
to have been due to an accident while
playing in Boston. The woman was
thrown from her pony and struck on
her head on the stage. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that she continued with
the show for two weeks after the acct
dent she never recovered from the in
jury. Mrs. Kilroy was born in Wash
ington and was daughter of the late
Fletcher Rowland. She had been as
ISOLATED with the stage since child
hood and was widely known in theat-
rical circles. The husband and
brother came to Kenosha early Sun.

Chicago Sunday evening.

DRIVE FIGHT ENDS
Senate Committee Knifes Substi-
tute for Sheridan Drive Bill
and 1t Will be Withdrawn
FARMERS WIN GREAT VICTORY

That the Sheridan drive bill is as
good as dead is now admitted by even
its supporters in Kenosha, and the
statement was made today that in all
proba bility the bill will be Withdrawn
and the Sheridan Drive Association
will proceed along the lines outlined
by present laws for the building of
the proposed driveway.
This state of affairs is the result of
hearing Friday before the senate
committee, which has the bill under
advisement. The hearing was attended
by several men from Racine, Kenosha
and Milwaukee and the question was
argued from both sides and from all
standpoints.
The result was that the senate COM
mittee practically decided to report it
unfavorably, but it is probable that
the bill will be withdrawn before
report can be made.
Imam attempt to overcome the OBJ
jections, the promoters of the Sheri-
dan drive proposed to narrow the
proposed roadway from 10O1feet to 90
feet, the standard width of country
roads, and made many other conces-
sions, but without avail. They even
went so far as to offer to make the
entire cost to any one county not to
exceed $500, the balance to be paid by
popular subscription, but this plan
did not take with the farmers, who are
convinced that it is nothing more or
less than an attempt to build an auto
mobile speedway between Milwaukee
and Chicago, and that regardless of
the conditions under which it is con-
structed the traffic on it will be of
such nature as to make ordinary
travelling dangerous and thereby pre-
vent the use of the road for general
purposes.
The Sheridan Drive Association is
now considering two different ways
of accomplishing the work.
The first, and the one considered
most9sadvisable, is to proceed under
the present law which allows the
association to condemn such private
land as it will need and use under
certain conditions parts of highways
that are available.
The other plan is to organize
stock company and build q private
thoronghfare by condemnation pro.
ceedings through the territory in
question.
That the former scheme will not
prevail is evident from the fact that a
measure to repeal the law under
which It could be accomplished, is
now before the Legislature, and has
been reported falvorably by all COM
mittees to which itshas been referred,
which indicates that it will be passed.
AS far as the stock company PROPOSE
ton is concerned there appears to be
no general objections and if the Sher-
idan drive is to be realized It will
probably be through this mode of
procedure.

WANT OLD FEES
Kenosha Doctors To Refuse To Accept
Insurance Examinations at Cut Rate

Kenosha Doctors To Refuse To Accept
Insurance Examinations at Cut Rate
AT the regular monthly meeting of
the Kenosha County Medical society
held at the home of DR.. Helen Har-
bert Friday evening, the physicians
placed themselves on record as OPP
posed to the cut rate propositions that
are being sent out by the old line in-
surance companies. The physicians
IN the society have been making ex-
aninations for those seeking policies
and the uniform fee has been five dol.
lars for each examination. The COM
panies now propose to reduce this fee
to three dollars and it was the consen-
sus of opinion among the members of
the society that they would not make
the examination for any fee less than
five dollars. If the examinations are
to be continued by members of the
medical society the insurance com.
panies must restore the former rate.
The literary program at the meeting
Friday evening consisted of two well
prepared papers on "The Surgery of
Accident" by DR.. ]. H. Cleary and
DR.. F. B. Lansdowne. Following the
literary and business meeting a sup
per was served by the host of the
evening. Covers we're laid for Is.

meeting was of a most pleasant

George Leroy Hale Gets Custody of Son
Who Had Been Given to Late Wife
In the Circuit Court on Friday
afternoon Judge E. B. Belden handed
down an order modifying the iudg-
ment in the divorce action of the late
Mae Hale against George Leroy
Hale by which the custody of the one
child, George Dudley Hale, was
awarded to the father. 1t will be re.
membered that Mrs. Hale died a few
months ago and for this reason the
father of the boy sought to have him
awarded to him. The son is now in
school in northern Wisconsin but he
will come to Kenosha to make his
home with his father as soon as the
school term is over. The relatives of
the late Mrs. Hale made no protest to
the change in the order of the Court.

SPLENDID PROGRAM READY

The Kenosha High School has been
invited by Ripon College to send an
athletic team to the fourth annual
meet of the Central Wisconsin Inter-
scholastic Athletic Association at
Ripon College campus on May 81.
The only limit placed on the entries
is that they must be actual members
of the school and have attained a
certain mark fixed in each event. The
mark is liked so low that it is expected
that there will be the largest number
of entries ever filed. The day being
set for the day after Memorial Day
will make it possible for students to
attend by losing a single day of
school work. Ripon, moreover, offers
TO pay all the expenses at Ripon, as
well as to secure a reduced fare, if
this is possible.
The marks to be attained for en-
trance, with the program of the meet,
are as follows. 10O-yard dash, II
seconds; 20O-yard dash, Is As seconds;
440-yard dash, 80 seconds; half mile
run, 2 min, Is Sec. mile run, min,
20 Sec; 12O-yard hurdles, 80 Sec;
22O-yard hurdles, so Sec; running
high Jump, #. in; running broad
Jump, is #. in; pole vault, 8 it,;
shot put, IS it,; 12-pound hammer
throw, 100 IT.; discus, IS #. In addi-
ton to this list each school is allowed
to send relay team, each Of four
men to run a quarter of mile.
Some excellent prizes have been
offered to competitors in these events.
The winner in each event gets sill
yer medal, the taker of second place a
similar medal of bronze, while the
winner Of third place gets silver
watch fob. The athlete breaking a
Ripon inter-schoolastic record gets a
gold medal, and any student who
breaks state inter-schoolastic record
will be honored with a silver cup.
The prize trophy of the list, how.
ever, is the big cup which goes to the
school taking the largest number of
points. The cup was first put up for
competition last year, and was won
then by Oshkosh. 1t must be won
three times, however, to become the
permanent property of any school.

COOPER IN DENIAL
Racine Congressman Claims He
Has No Idea of Retiring
From Senatorial Fight
WILL STICK FOR THE FINISH

Congressman H. A. Cooper, of RAJ
cine. los issued formal statement
| IN denial of the story published on
Saturday that he had decided to retire
from the race for United States sena-
tor and throw his support to Stephen
son. The statement of the congress-
man was given out on Saturday after
noon and it leaves no doubt as to his
intention in the matter. Mr.. 2Cooper
said:
81 have not made nor have ever
contemplated making, directly or i'm
directly, neither with Mr.. ssStephen.
son nor with any person or persons
in his behalf any agreement whereby
was or am to withdraw from the
senatorship or for any Office next
year or any other year, nor have /
contemplated or gestediItrying in
the slightest degree directly or in
directly to recall any sort ofsan under
standing whereby was to Withdraw
in consideration of support by any
| person for any Office at anyl time. I
shall be in Madison next Monday noon
to stay. From all that I know, my
friends in the Legislature1are as firm
in my support as they havenbeen at
any time. have nothing further to.
say on the subject
According to the report that was
published Saturday, had there been
anything to gain by Mr.. Cooper's inn
mediate retirement, he would have
withdrawn from the field ;during the
week, and that the congressman re-
NAMED in the field only because
Stephenson managers were not sure
that they would be benefited by hia
withdrawal
Mr.. Cooper declared that the rumors
arose from his returning from Madi-
son to Racine lastsstThursday. On
that day he was summoned to RAJ
cine by telegram from Mrs. Cooper,
who had suffered an attack of sick
ness. Mr.. Cooper at once prepared
to leave the capitol, and his depart
ure right in the thick of the fight
doubtless inspired the storiessthat he
had withdrawn from the campaign.
Mr.. Cooper points out that there was
practically no change in the last vote
taken Friday night to sustain his
position in the matter and upon his
return to Madison today the contest
will be taken up again. He refused
to predict the time of the settlement
of the contest.
