FOOLS THE GUARDS
Clarence Snyder, Of Racine. on
United States Senate Floor
Thursday Afternoon
TAKEN FOR A STATESMAN

Clarence Snyder, the we'll known
life insurance agent and Democratic
politician, so closely resembles a
statesman that Thursday he was able
to pass the guard at the door leading
to the floor of the United States Sen
ate and mingled with the great men
who gather in the United States Sem
ate daily to make laws and hear the
presidents messages, but instead
have battles of words.
For many years Mr.. Snyder was a
member of the Wisconsin State Board
of Control. He stopped off in Wash
ington Thursday on his wayseast and
decided to visit the capitol. Approach
ing the east Senate door heaw alked in
aud took seat. Mr.. Snyder was not
familiar with the rule regulating the
privilege of the floor of the Senate
ard is probably the first Wisconsin
man in civil life to gain admission to
the floor of the chamber during ses-
sion of the Senate. He remained all
through the speech of Senator For
aker on the Brownville affray. The
right of the Senate floor is so care
fully protected that even former
members of the House of Representa-
tives are not entitled to it. Every
day hundreds of Washington visitors
who are not familiar with the rules
attempt to gain access to the Senate
floor. The doorkeepers of the floor
doors are experienced and alert and
are presumed to know the counten-
ance of every man entitled to the
privilege. Possibly Mr.. Snyder's bald
head deceived the east doorkeeper
and made him think the Racine man
was member OF the House of Repre-.
sentatives.
representative Cooper was on the
Senate floor during the afternoon and
shook hands with his fellow towns
man. He made no comment on the
subject until after the Senate had ad-
journed when he accosted Mr.. Snyder
in the hall and said: "Say, Clarence,
don't your think Racine is doing
pretty we'll to have bothsa senator and
q representative in Westinghouse

FOR STATE CONTROL
SociaI Democrats Will Urge the
Enactment of Laws for a
State Telephone Company
WOULD KILL THE MONOPOLY

Government ownership of the means
of transportation and communication,
that is, railroads, telegraph and tele-
phone lines, is one of the. tenets of
the Social Democratic faith, and the
six Milwaukee Socialists in the 1egis-
lature are accordingly preparing bill
for the erection of long distance tele-
phones by the State of Wisconsin,
claiming that the time is opportune
for such move, inasmuch as a COM
pany has just been formed in Mil
waukee to connect the independent
telephones In the State with each
other.
When objection is raised that the
State can not under the constitution
engage in any sort of internal i'm
provement work, these men ask, how
can the State delegate to cities the
right to own and operate their own
utilities unless the State itself has the
power to own and operate public utili-
ties. When it is suggested that the
constitution will have to be amended
before this power can be delegated to
cities, these men reply that when the
constitution is amended it will have
to be so amended that the State itself
has this power or the State cannot
delegate the power to the cities.
Not all lawyers of the legislature
are agreed upon the question of power
of the State to own and operate public
utilities, and when lawyers become
involved in an argument of the 1imi-
tations of the constitution, they are
never quite agreed as to whether q
city can now own and operate any
public utility under the constitution.
And of all this the Social Democrats
of the legislature are prepared to
take advantage. Sentiment for mu-
nicipa1 ownership is not confined to
Social Democrats. 1t is to be found
among all parties. More than that, it
is to be found in the political plat
forms of all three of the political par
ties represented in the legislature.
Even Governor Davidson's message
recommends that the sentiment for
municipal ownership be encouraged.

RACINE CAR DERAILED

Kenosha Passengers En- Route to RAJ
cine Have an Exciting Time Sunday
Fifteen Kenosha people who started
to go to Racine Sunday morning on a
car on the M. r. & X. road, had an
exciting ride for their money. Just
after the car had passed the little
station Of Curtis, just north of Central
Park, the car was derailed. The pas
sengers were thrown from their seats,
but it is stated that no one was in
jured by the accident. AS soon as
possible word of the accident was
sent to Racine and special car was
sent to the scene of the accident to
take the passengers in to Racine.
The accident is supposed to have
resulted from spreading of the rails
due to the cold weather. The traffic
on the line was delayed for more than
an hour as result of the accident.

NELS BUSCH DEAD
Well known Danish Contractor Expired
at His Home on Strong Street

Nels J. Busch, prominent in Danish
circles in the city, and the senior
member of the contracting firm OF
Busch & Mikkelsen, died at his resi-
dence, SIS Strong street, late Satur-
day afternoon. Death resulted from
pneumonia, from which the contractor
had been suffering for two weeks pre-
vious to his death. 1t was not known
to his friends that his condition was
serious, and for this reason the an
nouncement of the death OF Mr..
Busch came as sad surprise.
The deceased was 43 years Of age.
He was born in Denmark, but came
to Kenosha eighteen years ago and
since that time he had been connected
with the building trades Of the city.
He is survived by widow and six
children. Mr.. Busch was member
of the Dania Society, Danish Brother
hood and the Kenosha lodge of the
Royal Arcanum.

DEATH OF MARY ANN WALLIS
Well Known Pioneer Woman of the City
Died at Her Home Monday Evening

Well Known Pioneer Woman of the City
Died at Her Home Monday Evening
Mrs. Mary Ann Wallis, widow of
the late Thomas Wallis and one of
best known of the pioneer women of
city, died at her home, $50 Ashland
avenue, at eight O'Clock Monday even-
ing. Mrs. Wallis was 80 years of age
and while her death was largely due
to the natural breaking down due to
extreme age she had been suffering
from bronchitis for the last week.
For that time she had been confined
to her room.
Mrs. Wallis was born in England
September 10, 1924. She came to Ke-
nosha in May 1874 and had since re-
sided here. She was one of the lead
ing members of the Park avenue M.
E. church for many years and had
been most active in the work of the
church. A devoted Christian woman
she will be greatly missed in the COM
munity and by the church. Mrs.
Wallis is survived by four sons,
James, George, Albert and Thomas
Wallis, all residents Of Kenosha.

HOPE FOR GILLETT
Man Thought to be Missing Was
: Seen Near Russell, III, on
Tuesday Evening Last
DROWNING CLUE ABANDONED

Friends of John Gillett, who has
been missing since last Monday, are
still hopeful that Gillett is still alive,
as reports are coming in from places
In the southwestern part of the county
which seem to indicate that Gillett
was in that part of the county on
Tuesday. John C1ausen, who resides
word Friday that he thought he saw
Gi11ett in his neighborhood on Tues
day evening and that he had slept in
school building near the C1ausen
farm on Tuesday night. C1ausen is
we'll acquainted with Gillett, and he
states that he simply saw him walk
ing along the road, but that he feels
certain that the man was the missing
Kenoshan. Friday night, following
this clue, many friends of Gil1ett went
down into the neighborhood about
Russell, but they returned without
finding any further trace of the miss
ing man. They found several people
who saw man answering the de-
scription of Gil1ett along the road.
The friends of Gilleet now believe
that it is possible that he has met
with worse fate than if he had fallen
into the river. They believe that he
has wandered far from home and that
he has possibly lost control of his
mental faculties, and, falling by the
wayside, has frozen tc death. Every
possible effort is being made this
afternoon to get some further trace
of the old man. Captain Cameron, of
the life saving crew, completed a
search of the river on Friday after
noon and he found nothing to indicate
that Gillett had been drowned. There
is absolutely nothing along the river
or in the river to show thai Gi1lett
met death by drowning and the police
are closely following the other clues.
In the meantime the two sisters of
Gillett are suffering terribly from the
continued absence of their brother and
they are urging the officers to leave no
stone unturned to learn his fate.
Letters have been received from
Charles Quarles stating that he has
personally directed a search in Mill
waukee and that he is certain that
Gillett has not been in that city.

SEEKING A LOCATION
New Weather Bureau May be Located
in Racine or Kenosha

III haC1nC henOSna
During the past few days agents of
the United States Weather Bureau
have been looking over Racine and
Kenosha with view of establishing
a new weather bureau in one of the
cities. At the present time there is
no bureau between Milwaukee and
Chicago and there is vast territory
from which the government is receiv-
ing no definite reports. The reports
issued for Milwaukee and Chicago do
not cover local conditions in many of
the north shore cities and for this
reason the demand for new weather
forecasting station is imperative.
The people of Racine have petitioned
the government to locate station in
that city, but it is possible that should
the Kenosha people send similar PEE
tition the station would be located
here. A station gives employment to
two or three men and it is of great
benefit to the people of the city in
which it is located.

WILL REDUCE RATES.
Western Railways to Anticipate the
Action of State Legislatures

western Railways to ANTICIPATE the
Action of State Legislatures
In order to head off legislation pro-
vi6ing for a flat 2-cent passenger fare
the western railways will submit to
the legislatures of Iowa, Wisconsin
and Minnesota and to either the legis-
lature or the state railroad and ware
house commission of Illinois, propo-
sition looking to the voluntary adop-
ton by the roads of 2A-cent rate IN
these states. They may make a SINH
lar proposition to the lawmakers or
states, although this is not now con-
sidered probable.
Well informed railway officials are
practically agreed that it will be futile
uncompromisingly to oppose the pop
nlar agitation for a Q cent fare, at
least in the states mentioned. They
do not concede that such rate would
be remunerative. On the contrary,
they contend that the only portion of
the country not now having 2-cent
rate in which it would be fair are the
most thick1y settled parts of Indiana
md Illinois. 1t is maintained that
even a ~ cent rate will not be gen.
orally aproftab le-that, in fact, even
ssle present Scent fare is positively
Improbable in great part of the
west.
A proposition to compromise on ~
cents is being considered by railway
officials, for the reason that they fear
if they do not agree to this they will
have a .2-cent rate forced upon them,
unless they get relief by appealing to
the courts.
Zone argument used in favor of D.
cent fares claws in western states, +"
said a passenger official yesterday,
sis that such lava was passed in
Ohio and the roads accepted it with
out fight in the courts. The fact is
not considered that Ohio has popu-
lation of 100000 persons, or almost
as much as Wisconsin, Minnesota
and Iowa combined. Passenger rates
aust correspond to densitya of traffic
to be fair, and the amount of traffic
sdepends on the number of people
living along the railway"

SEEK MURDERER HERE
Police Seeking Serafina Pecci Wanted
for Murder by Chicago Police

The police Of Kenosha have been
asked to search for Serafina Pecci, an
Italian, who is wanted on charge OF
murder in Chicago and who is al
legged to be in hiding in Kenosha.
Pecci formerly resided in Kenosha
and it is stated that he has number
of relations residing in the city. The
police last night made search of the
different Italian quarters in the city,
but they found no trace of the much
wanted man. Pecci, it is alleged,
shot fellow Italian in Chicago on
last Saturday night and it is thought
that the man will die. Friends of the
Italian claim that he has not been
seen in Kenosha, but the police of the
city are keeping a close watch on
some of the Italian homes.

Some of the members of the Marx
family in Kenosha are believed to be
heirs to the estate of Johann Ludwig
MARI, which is now being probated in
the courts Of France. The estate is
valued at fabulous sums and it is al
legged that the claimants are all dis
.tant relatives of the deceased. One
of the local members of the family has
employed an attorney to look into the
matter, but he has not as yet started
out to spend his portion of the vast
estate.

WANT TANK PUMPED OUT
Gas Company is Asked to Clean Out Big
Tank in Search for John Gil1ett

The officials of the Kenosha Gas
and Electric company have been
asked to order the big tank about the
gas reservoir on Ashland avenue
pumped out, as it is thought possible
that John Gillett, who has been miss
ing for nearly week, fell into the
tank. The officials of the company
seem to think that this is impossible.
Other clues in regard to Gi1lett
have been carefully followed, but the
searching parties have found ALSO
lntely nothing. It is now thought
that the report that Gillett was seen
near Russell, ILL.,, was an error on the
part of the Russell men, as the man
who was thought to be Gillett is al
legged to have been tramp who went
into the school building to get a
nights lodging.
