PLANS A CREMA-TORY
Health officer SpaIding to Ask
City to Provide for Disposal
Of Garbage
DUMPING PLACES ALL CLOSED

At the next meeting of the Common
Council DR.. ]. B. Spalding will ask
the city to find some way to dispose of
the garbage that is being hauled from
the residences in Kenosha and he will
suggest to the city officials the pur-
chase of a grabage creamatory. This
demand has been made by the
health officer at former time, but it
is. now more imperative than ever be-
fore and it is thought that the city
will take steps to secure an immediate
remedy for present conditions.
For some time the land owned by
the United States government on
Washington Island has been used as a
dumping ground for garbage, but
within the past few weeks the keeper
of the Krnosha lighthouse has filed a
protest with the government engi-
neers and as result Major Judson
has directed that the garbage haulers
of Kenosha be prevented from dump.
ing any garbage there. ;
The city will now be forced to find
some place for receptacle for this
garbage and it will be decidedly
hard matter. There is no dumping
ground to be secured along the lake
shore and the garbage men will not
consent to haul the garbage far out
into the country and the health officer
seems to be of the opinion that
crematory is the only solution for the
10 TTA
crematory plan is the only right solu-
ton. DR.. Spa1ding is already in
communication with companies max
ing these crematories and he will be
able to give the Council an estimate
of the cost of the crematory when the
request for action is filed. The cost
of crematory large enough to take
care of the Kenosha garbage is esti-
mate at from $500 to $4,000 but if one
is put in it is thought that the city
will build large enough to take care of
the demands of thesfuture.
Health experts have declared that
the crematory system is the only per-
feet system for the disposal of gar
bage and it is beginning to look as if
this system would appeal to the Ke-
nosha Council.
Many cities smaller than Kenosha
have already put in crematories for
the burning of garbage and they have
proved most successful. It is claimed
that the cost of operating a small
crematory would not be excessive and
that the city would in the end save
money by disposing of garbage in this
way. AS it will take some time to
have crematory built the city will
have to act at an early date if the
crematory is ready for use by next
summer.

Kenosha Football Players Asked TO
Organize an Association Team
Now that the cricket season is at an
end, the followers of the English game
in Wisconsin are making an effort to
get up some interest in Association
football and to this end E. B. Naish,
of Milwaukee, who as the Secretary
of the Wisconsin Cricket League. is
planning for the organization of d
football league to play Association
football during the fall and winter
months. 1t is planned to have teams
in Milwaukee, Racine and Kenosha,
with full schedule of twelve games.
The members Of the Kenosha Cricket
and Athletic Club have taken up the
4matter and an effort is now being
made to get the players out for prac-
tice. If a team of football stars can
by oundS In * enosha3it is certain that
this city will go into the league. .Ke-
nosha has. not seen Association foot
ball in many years, but it is certain
that a revival Of the game would prove
a decidedly popular proposition. 1t is
plannedvto start che league season
within the next two weeks.

IT is true that graft knows no poll
tics, but at the same time it is equally
true that no political party can divorce
a man from his past, and the nominal
tion of known CRATER for any Office
by any party is equivalent to notice
to the voters that the party making
such nomination endorses the past
acts of its candidate and is prepared
to assume full responsibility for any
thing he may do in the future.

THE state fire marshal estimates
that ''the failure to properly install
and care for heaters costs Wisconsin
people more than half a million dol
lars year" and the larger part Of
this loss must come from just pure
carelessness on somebody's part.
This is the season of the year when
the majority of the fire losses are
listed under the head of ''due to de-
fective fues," and an inspection of
heating apparatus before starting up
the fires for the winter may save
much money.

knowing all the facts in regard to
the marriage.
County Clerk Jones received from
the secretary of state Monday al entire
new set Of blanks to be used in con.
nection with>the issuance OF licenses
and for the registration of the mar.
rage certificates, and in the future
when licensesis issued the bride and
groom must be ready to give their
full family history as well as the en-.
tire story of their marriage. The
certificate must be filled out by the
County Clerk and sent to the minis.
ter with the license permitting the
wedding. 1t is just possible that the
hve-day clause Will be eliminated
Under the new law, but further in.
structions from the state are being
awaited before amy decision is made
on this question.
The real binding part of the new
law is in regard to the registration of
marriages, and it provides that everv
person from this county be he male or
female who shall be married in any
other county of the state or in anv
other state, of the Nation shall file
with the County Clerk a com plete
history of the wedding in the way of
marriage license. The fling of
such information with the Clerk is
made necessary by the new law and
in case It is not filed within the time
stated in the law the bride and groom
may be arrested and fined from SIS
to 500 or by Imprisonment of not
more than sixty days in the county
Jail.
AS the Fso ha county jail would

eymoon it is probab1e that most of the
people will keep pretty close to the
new law and see to it that the GER
t1hcates of marriage are filed. The
new law will go into effect tomorrow
and 1t is the plan of the state to force
the secret marriage out of business so
far as the State of Wisconsin is con.
cerned. Kenosha people will he hard
hit by the law, as in the last year it is
estimated that no less than fifty Ke.
nosha couples have gone to Chicago
and other cities to have the marriage
ceremony performed.
OF course the same law will applv
to people coming into the county from
other counties and states and the
work imposed on the clerk and the
county judge will in this way be made
much greater. In case the law is con.
strued to take away the time limit it
is thought that the business of the
various county judges inissuing court
orders will be practically ended, as
they WILDE forced to fill out the same
certificates as the county clerks. All
licenses issued after tomorrow will be
under the new law.

Dominick Tomba was convicted of
assault with intent to do great bodily
harm by jury in the Circuit Court
on Tuesday afternoon. The case was
given to the jury just after O'Clock
and they found the man guilty after
considering the evidence for an hour.
Following the verdict of the jury
the District Attorney made rather
unusual motion, as he asked that sen.

looked into the case, as it was posi-
BILE that he might ask that sentence
be suspended. The District Attor-

the Italian, and he has already been

The Court stated that he would
withhold sentence on the man until

Charles KerNin, Town Clerk Of
Salem, Sent to the State
Hospital at MENDOZA
HAD BEEN VERY VIOLENT
Worry Over Business and Illness At
fects the Mind of One of the Best
Known Men in the Western
Ens Of the County

s s~
Charles Kerwin, brother Of County
Superintendent Jobl J. Kerwin and
at present town clerk of the town of
Salem, was adjudicated insane in the
County Court this morning and sent
to the state hospital at Mendoza for
treatment. The condition of the nm
fortunate man is said to be critical
aud his friends fear that he will never
recover. During the last few weeks
he has lost great deal of flesh and
his physical condition is such as not
to warrant any hopes for his recovery
unless after long period of treat
.ment.
The announcement that Kerwin was
suffering from mental disease caused
qnite stir in the town of Salem, as
few people had known of the serious
condition of the man. Mr.. Kerwin
had remained at his work as town
clerk until the latter part of the week
and it is said that his books as such
official are in splendid condition. Peo-
pie in Kenosha received letters from
him within week, Notwithstanding
his condition, and these letters gave
no indication that he was in a serious
mental condition. Kerwin was ex-
an1ined this morning by DR.. G.. Fl.
Adams, of the Pennoyer Sanitariun,
and DR.. ]. G. McShane, and they rec
commended that he be sent to the hos
pital at once. It is probable that he
will be taken 10 Mendoza this after.
noon.
Friends of Mr.. Kerwin had noted
the appearance of the mental disease
some six months ago, but it was at
tributed to business worry and ner-
vousness, and it was thought that it
would soonspass away and he would
recover his health. Mr.. Kerwin also
appreciated his condition and he went
at once to Chicago where he placed
himself under the treatment of
noted specialist in nervous diseases,
but the treatment did not result in a
cure being perfected, and in fact DUR
ing the last few months he had grown
steadily worse. Eat times several men
were required to hold the patient,
and few nights ago he attacked his
brother, the county school superin-
tendent, who narrowly escaped seri-
ons injuries at the hands Of the sick
man. Mr.. Kerwin was brought to
Kenosha TUESDAY night and left in.
the keeping of constable at the
county jail. He seems to fully ap-
preciate Dhis condition, but he was
not considered well enough to attend
the court hearing.
Mr.. Kerwin is 81 years Of age, and
he has spent his entire life in Keno
sha. He has been town clerk of the
town of Salem for the past four years,
and has an excellent record as an Off
cial. He is married, his wife having
formerly been Miss Mamie Muir ply,
former Kenosha school teacher.
It will be necessary for the town
board of Salem to eject new clerk at
once, as il may be months before Mr..
Kerwin Is able to again resume the
duties Of his office.

JUsT because the city generally has
had good year is no assurance that
there will not be the usual calls for
funds for charitable purposes this
coming winter, and the amounts that
will be needed will in all probability
be nearly as large as in much less
prosperous times. There is always a
certain percentage of the population
that has to be helped, and this per-
