SCHMIDT NOT GUILTY
Man Charged With Assau1ting Mrs.
Lucas Found mot Guilty.

Charles Schmidt, arrested some time
ago charged with an assault OIL
Mrs. Lucas at her home, 800 Crate
street, was found not guilty Of the
charges against him by jury in JUS
tice Donahue's Court and discharged
from custody by the justice. There
was little evidence to show that the
man had anything to do with the
assault.
The assault was a most peculiar
one. Unknown parties entered the
Lucas home late in the night and
found Mrs. Lucas sitting on chair.
She was struck over the head with
some blunt instrument. The Lucas
and Schmidt families had some trouble
over money matter and this fact is
alleged to have been the most potent
one in the arrest of Schmidt. The
police officers feel convinced that
Schmidt did not attack the woman
and they have reopened the search
for her assailants.

WENT INTO A DITCH
Milwaukee Automobile Party Meets
With Mishap Near Kenosha

G. J. Bingham and a party of four
friends who were making an automo-
bile run between Chicago and Mil
waukee met with mishap a mile
north of Kenosha late Wednesday
afternoon when the big White
Steamer car driven by the cha uffeur
for the party went into the ditch.
The machine had been turned out
to allow farmers team to pass, and
the wheels were stuck in the mud of
a ditch which had been made for the
gas mains. The party was forced to
abandon the machine and make the
trip to Milwaukee by rail. This
morning house mover went out to
the scene of the accident to pull the
big car out, and it was shipped to Mil
waukee.

CROP OUTLOOK BRIGHTER
Small Fruit Crop SCENE to be Small
Plenty of Corn and Grain

Reports from all parts Of the coun-
try are to the effect that the crops are
not to be the failure originally antici-
pated although it is admitted that
they are not as far advanced as they
should be.
Fruit, however, has suffered and
there is to be little or none. This is
particularly true of cherries and those
who have been counting on the usual
amount of canning are in line for a
disappointment SO far as the home
grown product is concerned.
This is no Michigan peach crop an

existing in April, May and June were

In the northern part of the state the

FOR NEW OFFICIAL
Kenosha County Medical Society
to Ask Council to Name an
Inspector Of Plumbing
BAD WORK BRINGS SICKNESS

At the meeting of the Kenosha
County Medical Society held on
Thursday afternoon at the home of
DR.. H. c. Darby, in the town of Salem,
the members of the Association took
steps to petition the City Council to
have plumbing inspector appointed
for the city. This was done at the
urgent request Of Health Officer DR..
]. B. Spalding, who alleged that a
great deal of sickness in Kenosha
could be traced to defective plum bing
and the entrance of sewer and other
gases into the homes in the city on
account Of the defective plumbing.
The view taken by DR.. Spalding was
borne out by statements made by
other physicians, and the physicians
held that while the sewer gas in itself
was not necessarily deadly poison,
it generated other gases which were
decidedly harmful.
There are few cities the size of Ke.
nosha IN the country where there is no
plumbing inspector and it is certainly
one of the greatest needs of the city.
DR.. Spa1ding, IN speaking of the mat
ter this morning, stated that he had
made something of an investigation
and there was scarcely place in the
city where the plumbing would pass
inspection by competent inspector.
The matter was discussed at length
by the physicians and they decided
that it was the province of the Medi-
cal Society to act in this matter on
account of the fact that the defective
plumbing was matter that directly
related to the public health of the
city. In most cities the plumbing in.
spectors are hired and paid by the
city, but the physicians believe that
it would be possible to secure an in
spector in Kenosha without paying
any money out of the general funds
of the city. The plan that has been
suggested by the physicians is to hire
a first class man at salary of from
81 200 to 81, 500 and pass ar ordinance
making it necessary for every plum Der
in the city to pay to the city ST. as an
inspection fee for each job taken by
the plumber. In this Kramer the cost
of the inspection would be placed di-
rectly upon the property owners bene-
fitting by the services of the official
and not upon the public in general.
It is thought that there is sufficient
number of plumbing jobs in the city
annually to more than pay the cost of
such an official and the people would
have the satisfaction of knowing that
when the work is done it is done
right. The matter will be laid before
the City Council in a communication
from the members of the Society at
an early date.
