A Cause For Thanks,

In the audience at lecture on China
there was very pious old lady who
was slightly deaf She thought the
lecturer was preaching. and every time
he came to a period she would say
Amen" or some other pious exclama-
ton. The people in the audience,
which was composed mostly of the
village church members. knew she was
being reverent and did not even smile
when she exclaimed until finally the
lecturer mentioned some faroff city in
China, saying. Il live there" at this
point clearly and distinctly could be
heard the old lady saying, Thank God
for that

A young farm laborer called one mar
ket day at the registrars Office to re-
cord his fathers death. The registrar
asked the date of death.
"Well, father amt dead yet" was
the reply, "but he will be dead before
morning, and I thought it would save
me another journey if you would put
it down now

WILL PAY CLAIMS
Traders Fire Insurance Com,
pany Declares a Dividend Of
Fifty Per Cent
MONEY FOR THE CREDITORS

z 44 + K r
Predictions that the receivership of
the Traders Fire Insurance company
of Chicago, which failed after the San
Francisco confagration, would event
ually pay out between 20 and 80 per
cent, have been justified by the allow
ance of a SO per cent dividend by
Judge Honore of Chicago. Another
dividend is expected soon, as large
sums are now being received under
the reinsurance policies of the Trad
ers, the courts recently having enter
ed an order providing for the Offset
ting of accounts so far as they go.
The receipts during May were $492,-
296. In addition to allowing the
dividends on approved claims, payable
unless objections are made within ten
days, the court allowed fees amount.
ing to $4,000 to the receiver, the
State Bank of Chicago. and $50, 900
for attorneys fees. Charles H.
Hamill and Noble b. Judah are the
attorneys for the receiver.
The report May 81 showed cash or
hand amounting to -, 312, 8O8 and total
assets Of $4,5OO,0O The Traders
had 1,453 direct claims at San Fran
cisco and nearly 1000 under re-insur-
ance contracts with other companies.
These will consume the bulk Of the
dividend. There is also about 81, $780,
900 due return premium claimants,
most of the amounts small, as the
policy holders numbered over 100000.
The anHFrancisco losses have been
adjusted at an average salvage of 10
per cent from the face of the policies,
and the dividend is on the basis of the
adjusted loss. Several months ago
spectators were trying to buy up
claims at from 40 to 50 per cent, until
blocked by notice from the receiver
that at least 70 per cent and probably
more would be paid.

CHILDREN SUFFER
Railway Companies Will Not Give
Rates for Chicago Children
to Come to kenosha
SUMMER HOME TO OPEN LATE

The opening Of TIE summer home
for children under the direction of
the Sisters of St. Mary which was
scheduled to take place today has
been postponed until the first of July.
The Sisters found that''it was'in1possi-
BILE for them to secure rates to bring
the children to Kenosha. In other
years the Northwestern Railway COM
pany has furnished free transporta-
ton for the children coming to the
home but when the usual request was
made this year it was found that there
was no way for the company to meet
the request. It was stated that under
the new Wisconsin laws the children
could not be given free transportation.
Similar conditions prevail in regard
to the annual picnic of the children of
the Chicago Commons who came to
kenosha last year for the annual
outing.
Miss Belle Bond, who has charge of
the annual Kenosha trip Of the child
rem, was here on Saturday and an
AASAAAONA SAAol bdd OCCA III Ecu W
call the picnic off on account of the
fact that the railway company had
declined to give transportation. It
would be impossible for the children
to pay their own fares to Kenosha and
the institution in which they are be-
ing cared for can not stand for the
added expense.
These two incidents simply show
that the new rate laws are going to be
hard proposition for4the charitab bic
institutions and it is not probab that
any more free transportationIcan be
extended to these institutions.
The Sisters of st. Mary will of
course not give up their .worksin car
ing for the children on account of the
few dollars needed for transportation
but the vacation of the children will
have to be shortened on account of
this added expense. While the sisters
are decidedly thankful to the North
western for favors extended3so freely
in the past, it is greatly TO be re-
GREETED that the law makes it impossi-
bic for these favors to be continued,
and the waits of Chicago are thus
forced to lose portion of their annual
outing.

WE have about given up hope of
seeing the speed law enforced against
the small percentage of autoists who
make a practice of violating them
every day of their lives, until some
accident places the blame for the nom
enforcement of the ordinances against
speeding on the shoulders of the
police just where it belongs and we
are tired of continually harping on
the subject but we must protest
against allowing automobiles driven
by men under the influence of liquor
to chase around the streets of the city
nights. Late Monday night high
powered machine coming from the
west whose occupants were whooping
and yelling and giving every evidence
of being roaring drunk, went down
Prairie avenue through the city at
top speed and as far as we know es-
capped without even warning from
the police. Certainly they were not
stopped and given the limit fine as
they should have been. With the new
police call system it ought to be posi-
bic to nab these crazy drnaks before
they get clear of the city and give
them much needed lesson. They
should be taught to keep out Of Ke-
nosha for Of all cities in the country
Kenosha has reason to know that
whiskey and gasoline do not mix we'll.

Judge Belden Grants Two DEGREES of Dir
vorce in Circuit Court on Tuesday
Much of the time of the Circuit
court Tuesday was taken in untang-
ling matrimonial insists and two
DEGREES of divorce were. granted by
Judge Belden. The first was decree to
Mrs. Elizabeth Sinnett from her hus-
band, Adolphus Sinnett, former
member of the Kenosha police force.
Mrs. Sinnett charged failure to pro-
vide and the decree was granted by
default, the defendant failing to ap-
pear. Mrs. Sinnett did not ask for
alimony and none was given by the
Court. There are no children to the
union and both the wife and husband
reside in Kenosha.
The second decree was one to Mrs.
Julia Petersen, who sought divorce
from her husband, James Petersen on
grounds Of desertion. This also was
default case, the husband not ap.
pearing.

DOES the City Council propose to
grant all of those ninety-one applica-
tions for saloon licenses in bunch
without any investigation of the
records some of the applicants have
made on the books of the police
department in the past year? The
mere fact that man is willing to put
up his $500 for a license should not
carry with it the privilege of running
a disorderly place year after year and
the work Of the police department
could be cut down forty percent by
eliminating small number of the
worst saloons.

THERE has been a good deal of
nonsense in connection with the bond
to be filed by the street railway COM
pany to cover the work under the ex-
tension ordinance. The Mayor has
absolute power in the matter and If
he accepts Mr.. Frost's personal bond
that settles it. If the company is going
ahead with the work without filing a
bond the city officials have not done
their duty and if bond has been
filed and approved why should the
railway people be so secretive
about it?
