SETS A NEW RECORD
Attendance at Summer School
Of University of Wisconsin
Largest Ever Known
MANY FOREIGN STUDENTS

The largest enrolment in the his
tory of the summer session of the
University of Wisconsin was that of
the session just closed in which 667
students from tnirty-one states of the
union and nine from foreign countries
were enrolled. In the nine sessions
since the establishment of the sum
mer courses at the university the en-
rollment has practically doubled, in
creasing from 343 in 1899 to 667 this
year. Not only have the number of
students from the various parts of
Wisconsin increased from year to
year but annually larger number of
representatives. of other states have
enrolled for summer study. The
number Of teachers, Normal gradu-
ates, college professors and graduate
students has also had a remarkable
growth.
One interesting feature of this
years enrolment was the number of
students who came all the way from
Hungary, Argentine Republic, China,
Canada, England, Germany, Japan,
Mexico and the Philippines to take
the work offered during the summer.
Another feature of Importance was
the number of sisters Of various
orders from the Institutional forces
Of Catholic colleges, seminaries and
parochial schools in Nebraska, Min
nesota, Illinois and Wisconsin who
entered the university summer classes
in order to further fit themselves for
their works
Wisconsin naturally leads ali the
states in enrolment, having 436 stu
dents, an increase of 48 over last
years registration from this state.
The second state in point of NUN bers
was Illinois, from which As students

BARS LIQUOR MEN
Catholic Order Of Foresters To
Refuse SaIoonkeepers Mem.
bership in Future
CALLED AS HAZARDOUS RISKS

The Catholic Order of Foresters, in
convention in st. Paul Thursday, de-
cided to deny membership to liquor
dealers. The placing of the ban on
saloon owners and white iacketed dis
pensers of alcoholic drinks by the
Foresters is simply adopting the pro-
ceedings in national gatherings of the
Odd Fellows, knights of Pythias, the
Royal Arcanum and other great fra
ternal societies.
BY a two. thirds vote the deieg rates
to the Foresters' convention decided
to hereafter exclude all saloonkeep-
ers, bartenders and liquor dealers
from the organization. Their occupa-
tion was declared extra hazardous.
The amendment to the constitution
will not become effective until July /,
1908, and will not be retroactive.
Freight brakemen for short time
were placed in the same hazardous
class as the liquor men, and it was de-
cided to bar them from membership
in the future. The deleg ates later de-
cided that the lives of the brakemen
were not so imperiled as those of the
bartepders and the railroad employees
will be permitted to join the associa-
ton.
The policy of retrenchment adopted
by the order to cut down margin OF
liability above assets brought about
the decision for which the foes of the
1iouor dealers hava haeu HUh4;oo for
years. The exclusion of sa1oonkeep-
ers has been an issue at each national
convention for many years.
Scores of labor organizations al
ready 5have taken action along the
same line by practically expelling
craftsmen who abandoned their for
mer vocations to embark in the liquor
traffic. 81 With few exceptions the
union cards of the former members
are taken up and they remain sus-
pended until the saloon venture is
given.up.
Reasons of varying degrees have
been advanced by the societies for the
exclusion of liquor dealers. Those
whose basis for existence is the fra
ternal life insurance pplan merely
quote the vital statistics of the great
life insurance companies showing a
liquor dealer to be "hazardous
risk"

PETIT GETS RECORD
Well Known Kenosha Golfer Captures
a Loon in Clear Lake, Mich.

wen Known KenOsha Golfer Captures
Loon in Clear Lake, Mich.
B. M. Petit. the well known Keno
sf1a golfer, has established a record
as a fisherman, and the story told of
the prowess of young Petit at Clear
Lake, Mich, makes all other fisher
men IL Kenosha take back seat.
Mr.. Petit is spending a short vaca
ton at the lake and Wednesday he
saw a loon in the water near the
place where he was fishing. He had
heard of the strenuous efforts that
had been made to effect the capture
of one of the great swimming birds
and he decided to make a try for him.
Throwing off his clothes he watched
the big bird until it dived into the
water for fish, and then he dived in
after it. He captured the bird and
carried it IN triumph to the Petit
camp. It will be brought back to Ke-
nosha later in the month.

It is beginning to look as if Frank
Ellsworth, the man arrested at Mari
nette on charge of securing money
by means of worthless checks, will
have to be tried in Kenosha county.
At the time of his arrest the officials
of Ohio, aud especially Cincinnati,
were anxious to get hold of Ellsworth,
but it is now stated that the man is
not wanted in the Ohio city.
District Attorney Baker has secured
his evidence against the man and is
ready to go ahead with the trial at the
September term of the Circuit Court.

Thomas B. Jeffrey & Co. Plans
Erection Of Sign Posts to
Guide Auto Drivers.
WILL MARX DANGER POINTS
First of the Posts is Set Up at Point
Where Two Milwaukee Men Met
Death Short Time Ago. All
Roads to be Clearly Marked

The Thomas B. Jeffrey company of
this city has started scheme which
will be of great value to automob bile
drivers in all parts of the United
States and which in the near future
will result in all of the main roads
used by auto drivers being properly
marked. The Kenosha company is
sending out to it's agents in Wisconsin
and other states sign boards which
are to be used in making danger spots
along the road and ia marking the
roads from city to city. The boards
are Of very attractive design and
while they will carry the advertise
ment of the Kenosha company this
will in no way interfere with their
use by every man who drives car on
the road. The first of the boards have
just been put up on the roads about
Milwaukee and within the next two
or three days score of the sign
boards will be put up in Kenosha
county. The boards are large enough
to include the name of the road, the
distance from the largest city, the
distance from garage and the high.
est speed which will be permitted by
the local officials.
Mr.. Jeffery has already expended
more than a thousand dollars on the
sign boards and it is the plan of the
| company to ultimately extend the
service to every part of the country
where the Randi car is sold. The
placing of the boards promises to be
a great advertisement for Kenosha,
I the home of the Rambler.
| One of the G1irst boards to be set III
by the agents of the Jeffrey company
was placed at a bridge on the Blue
Mound roadIin Milwaukee where ar
accident on Tuesday night cost the
lives of two we'll known Milwaukee
men. This board not only cautions
the driver of the car but states the
Efar enough from the bridge to make
it possible for the cars to be stopped
without running the risk of disaster.
Similar signs to this one will be
placed in every spot where danger
turks. It was the original plan of the
company to use these signs in and
about Kenosha, but when the first
signs were made the. plan seemed sc
good that lot of the signs are being
sent out to every Rambler agency ane
as the Rambler car is sold in nearly
every large city in the country it il
certain that within a year the Ram
bier will point the way for all auto
drivers in America. The placing Of
the sign posts will be of the creates
value to the owners of automobiles
as most of the travelled roads in the
state have never been marked and the
auto drivers in some cases have {
hard time finding their way from city
to city. AS publicity proposition
the new signs should prove a winner
for the Jeffrey company.

Josephine Cooper, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Henry Cooper of Prairie
avenue, and DR.. Hiram II. Lane, the
well known dentist. The ceremony
will take place at the Cooper home on
the evening of September 4.
It is probable that the first steps
taken by the Badger trades unionists
in the establishment of a produce ex-
change in Milwaukee will be in
dairy exchange. This was the senti-

Major Judson Informs Racine and
Kenosha Councils That Mon.
ey Has Been Assured
WILL REPAIR ALL HARB0RS
Work at Racine to be Done Next Year
and the Work on the Kenosha Har-
Dor is to Follow as Soon as Gov
ernment Arranges for it

Major w. V. Judson laid down the
law IN regard to the sea going. dredge
at the meeting for the Racine and
kenosha Councils held in Racine last
night and from the statement of the
major it looks as if the government
would build the dredge regardless of
the feelings of the men in Racine and
kenosha toward the expenditure
However the major explained that the
money expended for the dredge would
not IN any way affect the work
planned for the harbors at Racine
and kenosha, but that it was his plan
to do this work just as soon as posi-
BILE. In connection with this address
he stated that he had planned to
build new breakwaters in Racine
next year and that they would be
built in such way as to entirely do
away with the present troubles. He
stated that the completion of the
work planned for the Kenosha harboF
would be the next to be taken up aud
that it would be ompleted Just as
soon as the government could make
the arrangements for the work.
Major Judson stated that the dredge
would cost in the neighborhood Of
$4,000 andssthe money needed was
now practically assured. He declared
that the howl that had gone up from
ManitowocEwas Ill timed and unnec-
essary, He said that the Manitowoc
harbor had been placed in first class
conditionsunder his supervision and
that thelwork of building the dredge
would go forward. He stated that
the sanction of the different cities was
not needed!to insure the purchase of
the dredge,. but that the meeting had
been called to talk the matter over
with the officials of the two cities.
Major Judson declared that not one
of the ports would lose cent as a res
suit of theibuilding of the dredge, as
the government would provide the
funds needed for the improvements
of the harborlin future time as fast
as the work was demanded.
He admitted that there had been
very little work done at the Racine
and Kenosha Harbor last year, but
stated that he had conferred his work
at Manitowocson account of his desire
10 complete the work at one city be-
fore commencing work at any other
point.
AS result of the meeting nothing
of a definite action was done. The
members of the Racine council we're
not ready to act on the matter and
they decided to lay it over until a
regular injecting of the council. Keno
sha as usual played little part in the
meeting. Several of the aldermen
and interested. citizens had gone to
Racine to discuss the matter in the
afternoon but only one of them re-
NAMED for the meeting. 1t is possible
that the Kenosha council will take the
matter up at future meeting, but
nothing will be done until some
further communication is received
from Major Judson.

The coroner's jury, which met on
Wednesday afternoon to investiga ate
the drowning of Dick Weisang, whose
body was found in the harbor on
Wednesday morning, failed to throw
any light on the drowning of the boy
and the evidence at the inquest was
largely in connection with the finding
Of the body of the lad. The jury re-
turned verdict of accidental death.
The remains of the boy are still at
the morgue. but they will probably

of foul play, as there was not mark
on the body, and it is pretty certain
that the boy was drowned by falling
