BILL TO BE CHANGED
Senator Bishop Has the Sheridan
Drive Bill Sent Back to the
Committee for Revision
TO PULL OUT THE "SLEEPER"

Senator Isaac T. Bishop came to the
aid of the Kenosha county farmers on
Thursday afternoon when after
hard fight in the State Senate he
succeeded IN having the Sheridan
Drive Bill sent back to the committee
for revision and the passage of the
bill has again been delayed in order
to give the farmers of the counties
interested time to file more protests
against the passage of the bill. Sem
ator Bishop was in Kenosha Friday
afternoon and in an interview he de-
clared there was sleeper" in the
bill which would have to be elin1iu-
ated before the bill could be passed
by the Senate. "That is one of the
craftiest bills ever presented to the
Senate, said Senator Bishop, land
a great fight is to be made to secure
its passage. Portions of the bill are
not thoroughly understood but il is
understood that if the bill is passed
the commission would have right to
go ahead and assess damages and
benefits so that the cost might De O.
great deal greater on the pee pie
than the amount showed on the face
of the bill''.
The Senator stated that he was
rallying good deal of support
against the proposition and that he
was hopeful of defeating it ultimate
1y. The recent referendum of the
Kenosha county farmers shows that
they are not in favor of the bill and it
is stated that the Racine county
farmers are just as strongly in the
opposition. It is expected that the
bill will be broug hit to the senate for
final action next week. Senator
Bishop has led the fight on the bill
from the start.
The Senator is also opposing the
bill to expend large amount of
money for experimental road making
on the grounds that not cent of the
money would be spent in either
Racine or Kenosha county.

Primary on Senatorship in Somers Re-
suits in Majority for Congressman

has put itself on record in the sena-
torial fight, as being IN favor of the
election of Congressman II. A.
Cooper, for at the recent town meet
ing aprimary election was held at the
suggestion of Senator I. T. Bishop in
order that he might have some in
structions for the senatorial fight.

airy in person and announced the
names of the different men that had
been suggested for the office, after
which the vote was taken and he has
reported that the unanimous vote

County Canvassing Board Completes
Work of Counting Judicial Ballot
The County Board of Canvassers
Friday afternoon completed the work
of making the official canvass Of the
judicial election held in the county on
last Tuesday and the result shows
that the people in the rural districts
paid great deal more attention to
the election of justices than those
residing in the city. The result of
fhe ballot shows that nearly sixty
percent of the voters in the towns
voted on all ballots while in the city
the proportion was less than ten per-
cent. The final count showed that
Chief Justice r. J. Marshall, who was
candidate for reelection received a
total of $40 votes in the city and
county while Henry Townsend
Scudder, his opponent, received 1876
votes. The larger numberlof the votes
cast for Scudder were cast in the city
wards and it is claimed that he re-
ceived considerable support from the
Social Democrats.
The total vote for Judge Be1den in
the county YVES 900 votes he receiving
the largest vote cast on the judicial
ballot.
County superintendent John j.
Kerwin was given a decidedly hatter-
ing complimentary vote for notwith-
standing the fact that he had no OPP
position for the Office 1913 voters in the
eight towns voted for him. A certi-
ficate of election will be issued to
Superintendent Kerwin at once.

At TEMP TED MURDER
Dominick Thoma SIashes Mike
Wondeer With a Razor in
Rowland Ave. Saloon
ITALIANS PROTECT THoMA.
Officers Spend All Night Looking for
Would Be Murderer But Fail to
Find Any Trace of Him.
Wonder May Die

A mysterious attempt at murder
took place in the saloon of Arthur La
Machia on Rowland avenue just off of
Market street just after six o'clock
Sunday evening when a man supposed
to be Dominick Thoma, an Italian re-
siding at o12 Park street, rushed into
the saloon and without word of
warning drew razor from his pocket
and slashed Michael Wonder twice
in the face. He then made slash at
Michael Gallo, friend OF Wonder,
but the razor only penetrated the
clothing of Gallo and he escaped
without a wound. AS soon as the
two men had been attacked Thoma
fled from the saloon. dropping the
bloody razor on the floor and in his
haste leaving mis- cap behind him.
Bareheaded he ran down Market
street with crowd of Italians follow
ing him but he managed Sto elude his
pursuers and it is supposed that he
managed to get out of the city. AS
soon as possible Wonder was taken
to his home and physicians called to
attend him. twas found that he had
a great cash on either side of his face
from which the blood was flowing
freely. While the wounds are not
necessarily fatal the man is very
badly injured and it is possible that
he may die from his injuries.
The case was reported to the police
just after seven o'clock and all night
long Chief O'Hare and Officers Leik,
Feldschau and zievers kept up the
search for the would be murderer.
They found no trace of him during
the night, Notwithstanding the fact
that every Italian colony in the city
was closely watched.
There is something of mystery in
connection with the daring crime
charged to Thoma as Wondeer, the
badly injured man, is alleged to be
doing everything in his power to pre-
vent the police from laying hands on
his assailant. He refuses to tell Of
his former relations with Thoma and
yet states that he can assign no
cause for the attack upon his life.
1t is alleged by the people who wit
messed the cutting that Thoma was
perfectly sober when he entered the
saloon and that no word of warning
was given to his victim. The razor
was broken in the attack and the
police recovered all the pieces Of it.
The blade is still covered with blood.
The people who witnessed the attack
on Wonder refuse to aid the police
in the search for Thoma and they de,
clare that they know nothing of the
troubles that actuated the cutting.
The police believe that the case is
to prove most interesting one and
no stone will be left unturned to Sc
cure the arrest of Thoma. Police de-
partments in Racine, Milwaukee and
Waukegan were notified of the crime
late Sunday night and asked to look
out for the much wanted Italian. It
is not thought possible that he could
have taken train out Of the city as
allrailway stations have been closely
watched.

Disappointment From Judge SIosson
Judge Slosson put an end to the ro-
nance of two colored people from
Evanston Saturday when they came
to the County Court to get license
for an immediate marriage cere mony.
The bride was little doubtful as to
her maiden name. However she gave
it as Anna Jones. The groom would
not give his name as he stated to the
Court that he had been m lied and
that his wife was still living and that
so far as he knew that there had been
no decree of divorce issued by any
Court. 1t was about this time that
the dream of love broke and the Court
refused absolutely to issue the MARI
rage license. The couple went back
TO Evanston declaring that they
would make an effort to get married
in Chicago.

that Mrs. Mary Schroeder, an aunt
