nosha Judge Is Denied Admittance
William Kaiis, a well known Keno
sha man, was sentenced to a year in
the State Reformatory at Green Bay
on November % but he is still at the
county jail as the superintendent of
the State Reformatory has declined
to admit him to the institution on ac-
count of the fact that the records
show that he has served term ia the
Kenosha county Jail. Kalis was SEN
fenced by Judge SIosson on a charge
of petit larceny but before the SEN
tence was made the perintendent
of the institution was asked if Kalis
would be received there and he gave
an affirmative answer. Later he de-
clined TO admit Kalis.
Sheriff Pfennig is in quandary as
to what should be done to the prison
er. He has no authority TO release
him and little power to hold him.
The Court will either have to modify
the sentence or Kalis can secure his
release By habeas corpus proceedings.

FLOATER GETS AWAY
Body Seen Floating in the Lake
Saturday Afternoon Sinks
Before Secured
WERE REMAINS OF A WOMAN

Something of a mystery was de-
veloped IN Kenosha late Saturday af-
ternoon when the remains of an un-
known person were discovered float
ing in the lake just off Wisconsin
street. The police Office was notified
and Officer Bradley sent to investigate
the case. The officer saw the floating
body, and at once notified the mem
bers of the Life Saving Crew. The
station had been closed for the win
ter, and it took some time to get hold
of any of the members of the crew,
and by the time they were ready to
go out after the body it had sunk
again.
The body was about two hundred
feet from shore when first discovered.
but it drifted in close to the beach
later, and Officer Bradley followed it
along the beach and watched it drift
from the shore off Wisconsin street to
the docks of the Simmons Manufac-
turing company at the foot of Market
street. Here the body was caught in
the current about the docks and car
ried under the surface Of the water.
The members of the Life Saving
Crew later made an effort to discover
the body, but it had been carried out
into the lake again, and in the gath
ering darkness no trace of it could be
found. Officer Bradley was of the
opinion that the body was that of a
woman, and he claimed that the wo-
man had worn a blue skirt. So far as
can be learned no one has disappeared
from this city IN the past few days,
but it is thought possible that the
body had drifted down from some
port on the North,
Men in boats were out on 2Sunday
seeking some further trace of the
body, but it seems that it had disap-
peared. Hundreds of people saw the
object floating il the lake, and all of
them were convinced that it was the
remains of woman. The police in
different cities about Kenosha were
notified of the discovery of the float
ing body.

Chicago Brass Company Claims
Peter Yezick, Who Demands
$40 900, Was Drunk
BIG SUIT LAID OVER A WEEK

The Chicago Brass company
through its attorneys Monday,
filed an answer to the suit recently
brought against the company by
Peter Yezick, former empIoye of
the company, which is of a sensa-
tional nature. Yezick was injured
in the plant of the defendant COM
pany on September II of last year
when he his feet caught in a pot of
moulten metal and it is claimed that
he was so badly burned that he can
not recover. In the suit against the
company which was originally filed
in the United States Court Yezick de-
mands damages to the amount of $780,
600. The suit is one of the largest
demands ever brought into the Cir
cult Court Of this county.
In answering the COM plant the at
torneys for the company declare that
at the time Yezick met with his in-
jury he was drunk and that he had
been drunk on the day previous and
after he had been removed from the
plant TO the Kenosha hospital for
treatment he insisted on getting
drunk and that this fact was the di-
rect cause of the failure of his
wounds to heal. The company also
declares that Yesick was a resident of
the state OF Illinois at the time of the
accident and that the Chicago Brass
company was not company incorpor-
ate under the laws of Wisconsin.
It is thought from the answer that
the attorneys for the company will
seek to have the action dismissed in
this court on the grounds that the
court has no jurisdiction and demand
that if the suit against the company
is continued, it be continued in the
United States Court for the Eastern
District for Wisconsin.
It was expected that the case would
go to trial Monday, but the at
torneys we're not ready to go on with
the case and after considerable de-
bate, the court adjourned the trial of
the case till week from Wednesday,
with the understanding that there
would be no further adjournments of
the trial.

found many Of them in active opera
ton. He spoke Of the conditions as
ne round them by this personal in
spectlon and found grounds for i'm
| PrcVement, even under the existing
conditions. He said that ia several
of the saloons he had found boys and
young men drunk and staggering and
YET being given liquor. He declared
that the reason that the saloon men
Ionght Sunday closing, was on ac-
count OF the fact that Sunday closing
would put one third Of the saloons out
OF business, not for one day, but for
seven days Of the week. He spoke of
the work that was to be done by the
churches and other religious organi-
cations and declared that he wanted
not only the closing of the saloons on
Sunday, bat the opening Of every one
OF the churches every day in the
week. He spoke of the ''Glad Hand"
that the saloon men handed out TO the
customer and declared that if this
glad hand was to be found in the
churches as it was III the saloons, it
would not be long until the popularity
OF the CHURCH. would rival the saloon
in popularity. President Humphrey
spoke OF the question as a proposition
Tor the consideration of the business
nd professional men of the city and
eclared that if they would examine
ITO the question, they must be ardent
/ & Importers of the plan for closing up
the saloons.
President Humphrey is a speaker
OF power and his addresses, as were ali
of the addresses during the day,
proved most interesting.
While offering no compromise to
the violators of the law there was a
/ spirit of fairness shown and all Of the
speakers insisted that they were de-
landing for the people simply the
rights that had been given to them
under the laws Of the state.
The meeting of the central COUNT
tee to have charge of the future work
ia the movement will be called later in
he month and it is probable that be-
ACAN hAAS AAA 81 Nj LAG AGW yCdE luE
movement wilt have taken form.
+ Kenosha has not been singled out
for a crusade on the part of the state
| org anization, as it was stated by the
men here on Sunday that the work
would be taken up in other parts OF
the state the ultimate aim being to
reach every city and village in the
state.
The Developments in the movement
gill be watched with great deal OF
interest. 1t is possible that the new
organization will be able to get a
petition ready to vote on the question
at the next city election and that the
cause will be annually presented tc
the voters of the city until such a
time as the saloon power is broken.

CRUSHED TO DEATH
Contractor W. D. Cameron Meets
Death in Fall of a Floor
Which He Had Built
MEN BURIED UNDER FLOOR

W. d. Cameron, formerly a deacon
IN the Christian Catholic church in
Zion and one of the best known con-
tractors at Zion City, met an awful
death under a falling wall at Zion
City Monday afternoon. Cameron
and a number of men were com
plotting cement floor in a bleaching
room at the Zion City lace factory
and it is claimed that the work was
being put in without a permit from
the building inspector of the town.
The cement flooring had been put in
the early part of last week and it was
thought that it had become so hard
that there was no danger of its caving
in and Cameron and another work
man by the name of John Phril1ow
had gone under the floor to remove
the props which held it. As soon as
the props were removed the great
floor fell with a crash and Cameron
and his assistant were buried under
the debris of the falling floor. In a
short time large number of people
had gathered at the scene of the acci.
dent and the work of removing the
debris was started Cameron was
taken out dead, he having been In
stant1y crushed under the weight of
concrete. His assistant was found at
one corner of the room badly cut and
bruised and unconscious, but after
he had been taken out and given some
air it was found that he was not so
seriously injured but that he could
walk to his home a short distance
from the scene of the accident and it
is thought that he will recover
The coroner of Lake county was
hurriedly called to Zion City and he
returned verdict of accidental death
IN the Cameron case.
The dead contractor was thirty-fve
years of age and married. His widow
resides in Zion. Cameron was we'll
known ia Kenosha as he had built
several concrete houses here during
the building season just closed. He
was formerly one of the most infuen-
tial men ia the Dowie cult and was
for some time deacon in the church.
The funeral will be held in Zion on
Thursday.

FORCED TO BORROW
Board Of Education Finds Funds
on Hand insufficient to Pay
Expenses of Schools
STATE AID EXPECTED SOON
Board Has Already Secured Thousand
Dollars From the Bank and May
be Forced to Negotiate
Other Loans
STATE AID EXPECTED SOON

The schools of the city have begun
to feel financial stringency, and at
the>meeting of the Board of Educa-
tiop, held on Tuesday evening,
the members of the Board will prob.
ably be forced to cope with the finan-
cial question of furnishing money
enough TO run the schools until the
tax levy or the aid from the State
may become available. The First
National Bank has already advanced
$1,000 TO meet the bills of the Board,
and as the tax levy will rot be avail
able until some time in January or
February, the Board will probably
have to make arrangements for fur
ther and larger lean.
It is thought possible that the
money from the State will be paid
In to the County Treasurer during the
present month, and if this should be
the case the Board will be BILE to tide
over until the first of March without
making any other loans. Members of
the Board expressed no surprise that
the account of the Board at the bank
had been overdrawn, and they insist
that the Board did not make a de-
mand for sufficient funds from the
Council last year, and that this is the
cause Of the shortage. Since the last
levy Of taxes was made the Board has
Settled up for the new Balm school,
and this settlement has made the
funds decidedly low.
1t is claimed that the shortage this
year is no larger than in former years
and it is shown that several years ago
the Board was forced to borrow as
high as $4,000 in order to meet the
current expenses Of the school.
The appropriation of the Council
for the school fund for next year is
very large, bat if the Board has a
large number Of debts hanging over
it when the approp riation becomes
, available it is feared that there will
be a shortage against next year. The
members Of the Board admit that with
i the growth of the city the amount of
money demanded is largely .ucreas-
ing and they Insist that the taxpayers
will have to make large appropria-
/, tions for the support of the educa-
tional institutions. The City Coun,
Gil has not as yet made any formal
decision in regard to issuing bonds
for the building of new school on
the southwest side, but it is probable
that this matter will be taken up at
the uext meeting of the Council and
some final action taken on it.
If the council does not arrange for
the issuance of the bonds, the demand
from the Board for the next year will
undoubtedly be much greater than it
was for the year just closing. There
is no doubt but that the bills of the
Board will be met when they are used
as the banks have always taken care
of these orders. The only question
will be as to the amount of interest
charges to be paid by the Board for
the use of the money for the few
months.
