Charley suhsided, saying he would
make way for some one else.
GRUBB MAKES A PROPHECY
E. H. Grubb started his speech by
saying he was accused of being wrong
10 years ago when he advocated
ceding to the state all the gov
ernment lands within the state
of Colorado so that they might
be in the hands and under the control
of home people. MIR. Grubb told the
people they were facing a great crisis.
He said that people were pushing
westward in great numbers and it
had been thought necessary for the
government to take some steps for the
protection and proper handling of it's
own property. He asked how many
men present would vote against pay
ing the fee and then go out the next
day and take out a grazing permit
He said he wasn't making any accu
sations but just wanted to know how
many who voted fer the resolution
would stay by the action of the meet
ing. There were several cries of
here, here, from different parts
of the house. Mr.. Grubb then re
minded those present that the Colo
rado Cattle and Horsegrowers' asso-
citation last month tabled a resolution
aginst leasing while the National as
-nriatinn bIr oil
passed a resolution favoring leasing
Mr.. Grubb then stated that there was
probably better way to get at the
trouble than by this method of def
didn enjoy paying this tax any better
than did the others, but he saw no
way out of it. He closed with this
prediction: Mind what | tell you,
you will never get rid of paying this
grazing fee, and you will never be
able to prevent the public lands being
turned over to the agricultural depart
ment where they belong"
Henry Holiness after sending shot
in Grubb's direction and receiving an
answer which forced him to change
the subject, attacked Pinchot and his
technical assistants. He said they
were following fad and trying to
make the people believe that their
protection of the forest reserves would
result in benefit to the farmers by
protecting the water supply, claim
Henry said which had long since
been proved a fallacy. OF course
Henry knows, and after he told the
people how it was no one cared to
waste time by denying his profound
statements.
A vote was then taken on the reso-
lutions and they seemed to carry
unanimously least no one voted
against then loud enough to be heard
by the chair.
L. w Price now moved that a
committee of three be appointed by
the chair to draw up an agreement
binding the signers to refuse to take
out grazing permits and to pay their
proportionate share toward the ex-
pense of defending any cne who might
be arrested by the forestry officials for
violating the government regulations.
Messrs. Price, Griffith, Luxen and
others favored an assessment on pro
rata basis but this was opposed by
Light, Sloss, Harris, Lockard Nor
row and others, who thought basis

LARSON Is DISGUSTED

g. P. Larson rose to favor the reso
lutions. and said he was thoroughly
disgusted with the recent stock meet
ing in Denver. He went down in the
hope of receiving some benefit and in
the hope that the leasing system
would be fought, but nothing OF
value to the stockmen of the western
slope was accomplished, as John W.
Springer and Charley Stubs took up
most of the time talking about bob
tailed pony. Mr.. Larson admitted
that the American National Live
Stock association passed resolution
favoring the control of the open range
under lease or permit system copy

SIGN PACT
Strike is Ayerted When the Boss
Bakers Meet all Demands
Of the Bakers Union
NO FRESH BUNS FOR LUNCH

Kenosha's bread supply is safe for
late Tuesday night the boss bakers Of
the city all signed the contract de-
manded by the Bakers Union, and
the men are at work under the new
contract today. The men have re-
ceived every concession they asked
for and the contracts are signed up
for another year.
Under the new contract the men
agree to work for nine and one-half
hours day but the night work, which
has been such a prominent part of the
business of bakers in the city, has
been entirely eliminated. The boss
bakers may arrange any sort of shifts
they see fit, but it is to be understood
that the men are not to go to work be-
fore O'Clock in the morning AS the
men start mixing the sponge at 8
O'Clock in the morning it is i'm possible
to get the fresh bread on the counters
until noon. This will make it exceed
ingty hard for the grocers to supply
bread to their customers as the early
OohAAS WClC usually ldhCn ny TIC
grocers. The boss bakers who have
small shops will be forced to give up
some of their orders under the new
contract as it will, be absolutely inn
possible for them to fill them. The
baking of buns, rusks, fancy cakes
and chocolate eclairs and other de-.
lights Of the pastry line will have to
be laid over until late in the after
noon and the people who eat them
will have to run the risk of the in
digestion that follows eating such
things late in the day. Twelve hour
bread will be the rule in most of the.
stores and it is certain that it will no
longer be possible to have fresh bread
for breakfast.
The bakers seemssto be entirely sat
isfed with the contract that has been
signed and it is not expected that any
further trouble will result.
So far as car be learned May Day
has brought no other labor troubles
for Kenosha.

AN electric line west from Kenosha
connecting this city with the lake
regions and with Lake Geneva looks
to be one of the best propositions now
open to investors in this part of the
country and unless all signs fail it
will not be great while before the
the construction of this road is begun.
Many experts in building electric
roads have gone over the territory to
be covered by the proposed line in the
last year or two and all of them were
most favorably impressed with the
opportunity offered for safe and
profitable investment. Similar lines
in other parts of the country are earn
ing big returns on the capital invested
in them and with the right men be-
hind the project to build the proposed
line to the west of Kenosha it should
not be very difficult matter to
finance the deal. Kenosha would
benefit greatly by the road. Such
line would bring trade to every man
doing business in the city and when
the time comes to build it Kenosha
should stand ready to help along
the good work in every way possible.

WILL REVISE LA VS.
Changes are Wanted in the
Charters Of Several Cities
in Wisconsin
THEY DESIRE HOME RULE

The assembly in a listless Saturday
session considered proposition sub
mitted by the League of Wisconsin
municipalities to codify and revise
the municipal laws of the state. That
the end sought is desirable was grant
ed by all, but the mode of procedure
suggested by the league was ques-
toned.
Mr.. Ingram, chairman of the judi
ciary committee, claimed that if it
was desired that the municipal laws
be revised this work should be done
by the Legislature itself and not dele
gated to an association of city Off
Gals. He believed that many of the
defects in city government could be
remedied by ordinance instead of re-
sorting to statute. The advocates of
the bill claimed that the ultimate pur-
pose was to secure greater measure
of home rule for the cities.
Mr.. Easterbrook argued for the bill
but agreed to its postponement until
next Wednesday. The bill in part is
as follows:
"The Common Councils of the state
upon the call of the president Of the
League of Wisconsin Municipalities,
with the advice of it's executive coun-
Gil, are empowered to elect one dele
gate to charter convention of the
cities of the state. The convention
is hereby authorized to codify and re-
wise the municipal laws of the state
and report its conclusions to the Leg
islature of 1909. It is authorized to
simplify the general municipal law
and provide for the cities as large a
measure Of home rule as is consistent
with good public policy

Civic Federation Gets Busy Again
and Resort at Four Corners
Yields Ten Prisoners.
KEEPER TAKEN IN CHARGE
Two Women and Seven Men Plead
Guilty to the Charges and Pay
Their Fines to Escape Pub-
licity in Court

The Civic Federation got busy
again Saturday night and as res ult
the resort at the Four Corners con-
Quoted by Carrie Van Duesen is again
in the lime light. The raid Saturday
night was a raid that stuck and as a
result of the visit of Sheriff Pfennig
and his six deputies to the place
seven men and three women in GLIDING
Mrs. Van Duesen were placed under
arrest and hurried to the city. No
one of any prominence in the city
was captured IN the raid and it seems
that the patronage of the house was
limited to country boys and foreign
ers. The people were hurried to the
city in carriages, but when they
arrived it was Sunday morning aud
Justice Sturges told them that it was
Impossible for him 20 hold court. All
Of the people including the women
seemed anxious to settle the matter
without publicity and Judge Sturges
finally consented to allow each of the
accused to leave ten dollars and costs
with the understanding that their
pleas of guilty should be entered on
| the docket this morning. Two of the
men In the party failed TO produce the
cash necessary and they were sent TO
Jail for the night. One of the men
paid his fine Sunday and the other
hopes to get out Of Jail today. AS at
the time Of the former raid Mrs. Van
Duesen was arrested under the state
law and the justice court had no
jurisdiction in the case. She esca ped
jail by putting up cash bond of $500
with the sheriff
There was no tip handed out in adj
vance of the raid Saturday night.
The warrants were not issued until
nearly midnight and Sheriff Pfennig
had picked his deputies with great
care. Mrs. Van Duesen herself an
swered the call and when the warrant
was read to her the only comment she
made was "what again" The off
GERS searched the entire building, but
found only the two girls and the
seven men. Two of the men we're
regularly employed at the place.
It is stated that Mrs. Van Deusen
has decided to give up the place and
it is now being advertised for sale
AS the keeper of the resort has
pleaded guilty to similar charges at
this term of the Circuit Court the
present arrest may prove very serious.
When she pleaded guilty a short time
ago she was fined $500 aud costs
which she paid.
The Civic Federation leaders seem
to be determined to root out the resort
at all costs as it is claimed that this is
the only resort of the kind in business
in or about Kenosha.

IF the ordinance limiting the num-
Der of saloon licenses is passed and
as many of the most prominent saloon
men themselves are backing it, it is
believed that the ordinance has at
least an even chance to get through
the Council, the problem of regulating
the disorder1y joints will be greatly
simplified for the police department..
Saloon licenses in Kenosha will un-
doubtedly command a premium if the
ordinance goes through and the pres
ent holders of licenses will reap the
benefit but if the limit on the number
of licenses is put low enough so that
it is out of the power of the Council
to grant new license in the place Of
one that is revoked for any cause
whatever as was done in the Dick
case, the fear of being put out of
business altogether will be a power
full incentive to all saloon men to con-
duct orderly places and abide strictly
by all rules and regulations of the
city.

Supreme Court Affirms Decision
of Lower Court Against ke-
nosha industries
HOOKING WINS LONG FIGHT
Samuel Walker is to Receive $4,000
From the Simmons Manufacture
ing Company After Short
Legal Contest

The Supreme Court of the state yes
terday handed down decisions affirm
ing the decision of the Circuit Court
of Kenosha county in the suits of Will
liam E. Hooking VS.. The Windsor
Spring company and of Samuel
Walker VS.. The Simmons Manufacture
ing company. In both cases the
plaintiffs will receive the sum of S.
900 as damages and it is thought that
this will mark the end of both actions.
The Hooking case is one of the
famous cases of the Kenosha Circuit
Court and Hooking has won his fight
after struggle Of nearly FIVE years.
Hooking was injured more than five
years. ago while at work in the plant
of the Windsor Spring company. He
claimed in his action that a splinter
of steel flew from die on the press
at which he was working and struck
him in the eye. The injury to the
eye was so serious that he lost the
sight and later the eye was removed.
Hooking originally sued for $40, 900
damages but when the case was called
it was non suited without any evil
dence being introduced. 1t was
claimed that the complaint was de-
fective. Hooking at once started a
new action and the amount demanded
was increased to SIS, 900. This action
was again non-suited and the case
was taken to the Supreme Court and
the decision of the lower Court was
reversed and the case sent back for
trial.
When the second suit was tried the
jury returned a verdict awarding
Hooking SIS, 900 damages. The attor-
neys for the company, claiming that
the amount allowed was excessive and
not in accordance to the law and the
evidence in the suit. again appealed
the case to the Supreme Court, with
the result that the higher court
affirmed the decision. The decision
was written by Justice Siebecker and
concurred in by the other members of
the court. 1t is thought that Hooking
will now receive the full amount
awarded to him.
The Walker suit against the Sim
mons Manufacturing Company was
one of short duration. Walker lost
three fingers while at work on a ma
chine in the factory and brought suit
for $4,000. The case was tried at the
September term of the Circuit Court
last year and the jury awarded the
plaintiff $4,000. This verdict is af-
frmed by the higher court.
While both of the companies were
insured against accidents Of this
nature, both will be forced to pay a
portion of the costs of the trial, which
were decidedly large.
The friends of Hooking and Walker
are rejoicing today over the decisions
Of the Supreme Court.
r. V. Baker was the attorney in the
Hooking case, and e. II. Kerr, of
Milwaukee, and r. Y. Baker repre-
sented Walker in his fight.

MAYOR GoRMAN has got his work
cut out for him to make out a very
good showing for the Kenosha har-
Dor in his report to the government
engineers. However, the tonnage at
this port has not dropped off more
proportionately than at most of the
smaller cities on the lakes, and the
Mayor may be able to show that the
city could do more lake transporta-
ton business if it had better facili-
ties for handling it. The harbor has
never been right since the outer
breakwaters were built, and while it
is admitted that the business at this
port does not warrant any very ex-
pensive improvements at this time,
the least the city can reasonably ex-
pect from the government is money
enough to correct the mistakes of
its engineers and to make Kenosha a
safe harbor of refuge at all times in
any weather, as was originally in
tended when the Improvement of the
harbor was first undertaken.

The new sidewalk ordinance which
went into effect this week lays down
hard and fast rules for the construc-
tion of all walks and any property
owner who contemplates building
walks will save money and trouble by
familiarizing himself with its pro-
visions before beginning work. No
exceptions are to be made and in the
future all walks put down in the city
will have to be laid in conformity with
the provisions of this ordinance.

vice has been increasing az rapid
rate. The first year four hundred
cars we're shipped from the plant and
today more than ten thousand Ram
bier cars have been sold. The market
for the Rambler is the world and
has seen the mark of the Ram bier
machine. This year great shipments
of cars have been made to Africa,
India ard the Asiatic countries, the
places last reached by the products of
American mills and factories.
AS one hundred thousand dollars is
spent annually in advertising the
Rambler automobile in monthly
magazines, it also brings the name of
Kenosha before many thousands of
people.
The original Rambler plant was not
in itself an imposing building, but
the vine covered walls which repre-
scented the first home of the Jeffrey
Company in Kenosha is now only a
small portion of the great shops. The
plant has been steadily increased.
Each year with the increase In the
sale Of the Ramblers one or more new
buildings we're built until at the pre-
sent time the factory has eight COM
plete buildings with floor spa &c six
times as large as was to be found In
the original plant.
The Thomas B. Jeffrey Company
has made it the one idea Of their bust
ness to Manufacture cars for service,
and to this end the company has not
looked with favor on speed contests.
The Rambler has held its own with
every one of its class and in many
cases has won signal honors over cars
OF higher power and Of much higher
price, but the Jeffrey Company has
never catered to the automobilist pos
sessed of the speed mania. The
managers of the plant have kept III
mind continually their original plan
Of building a car Of steady service
moderate powered ma chine for every
day use-a car that is just as good on
the country road as on the paved
otA@Nlo VI LAG CkLJs J. Ills SLdtEInCul Is
supported by the fact that a large
proportion of the sales of the Ram bier
car is throughout the Middle West
and Northwest to farmers and bust
ness men.
The Jeffery company has always
showed every consideration to the
people of Kenosha city and county
The testing of Ram bier automobiles
on the public highways, necessity
when the plant was first opened, was
abandoned as soon as Mr.. Jeffrey
could purchase sufficient land to lay
out testing track. He succeeded in
purchasing land in the town of
Somers where, on a half mile track
all testing Of Rambler cars is now
done.
The five years of history of the
Rambler plant have been some of the
most interesting in the history of in
dnstrial Kenosha and the people of
the whole city will be pleased to ex-
tend congratulations and best wishes
ION this the fifth anniversary of the
first shipment.
