State insurance Commissioner
Urges Policy Holders ToLook
Well to Their Contracts
MANY LOOP HOLES FOUND

| The preliminary report of Commits
sioner of Insurance, George F. Beedle,
contains suggestion for prospective
purchasers of insurance, which if fol-
lowed to any considerable extent, will
not only broaden the general knowledge
| of life insurance among the citizens
of the state at large, but will have a
remedial influence upon some of the
Objectionable practices Of life insur-
ance companies.
In this report just issued, Mr.. Bee
die says: "The prospective or actual
lpolicyholder often does not know what
| to ask for from the company in the
way of information. Even when he
does, he is rarely able to put his in
1uiry in such form that il cannot be
easily evaded. Our law in no wise
limits the conditions or provisions of
policies and the commissioner Of in
surance is granted only q very limited
Iauthority in respect to them. The only
! Limitation is that. under the new law
fixing a maximum expense provision
and the range of the expenses under
this maximum for some classes of poll
icies is SO large that the prospective
lpolicyholder may well desire to judge
Of this intelligently.
This department will do it's utmost
to aid policyholders in the enforcement
Of contracts already made, but much
more can be done by the policyholder
himself when he takes his contract, in
seeing that it's terms and condition are
such as to make it a fair contract to
him. For the purpose of getting in
| formation, on which conclusions may be
based, blank form of inquiry to the
companies is suggested. The informa-
ton here asked for is definite and some
thing which every company has at hand
and is able to furnish, though undoubt-
eddy it will be disclosure to many
agents as well as to the policyholder.
blank for requesting this informa-
ton will be furnished by the depart
ment to any one asking for it. The
blank properly filed in by the company
will enable the prospective policyholder
to determine the value Of the insurance
benefit and by comparison with the
expense charge each year, whether the
insurance benefit is proportionate to
the expense. A comparison of the com
missions with the expense charges may
give him some intimation as to what
the expense charges are likely to con
tribute to his dividends. The deposit
shows the amount of his excess pay
ments at the beginning of each policy
year. By comparing the deposit for
year with the loan cash values allowed
during that year he will be able to
determine the margin exacted by the
company on EACH

BREWERS TO MEET
Prohibition Will BE Discussed at
Convention of United States
Brewers Association
TO REFORM SALOON BUSINESS

1t is estimated that there will be be-
tween 900 and 700 brewers in attend
ance on the forty eighth annual con
vention of the United States Brewers
association when it meets in MilWau-
kee the second week in June The
meeting promises to be Of unusual in
terest to the brewing industry, in view
Of the temperance wave that is sweep
ing over the country threatening sa-
looms with destruction.
Some Of the subjects which will come
up for discussion and action will be
measures for the divorcing Of the sa-
loon business from gambling, the slot
machine and vice generally; the local
option and prohibition laws recently en-
acted by state legislatures; the Sunday
closing movement; the saloon in poll
tics; the treating evil should be dis
couraged; the abolition of free lunch.
Foreigners sojourning in this country
have declared times oft repeated that
the treating CUSTOM is responsible
for great deal of the abuse in the use
OF lntoxlcants; that men are induced
by it to drink not only more than they
wish to, but more than is good for
them. The abolition of the custom,
however, would make a tremendous
hole in the receipts of the average sa-
loon, and the probabilities are that no
definite action looking to it's discour-
aCement will he taken
The headquarters of the convention
will be in the Hotel Pfster and the
meetings will be held in the Public Ser
vice building of the Milwaukee Electric
Railway Light Company.

GIVE FINE SHOW
Amateurs of st. James Church Please
Audience Thursday Night

One of the most successful amateur
entertainments ever given in Kenosha
was the minstrel show given by the
Young People Of ST. James Church at
the Rhode Opera House on Thu1s4ay
evening. Notwithstanding the many
attractions in Kenosha for the evening,
the performance drew a crowd which
tested the capacity of the theatre and
the program as carried out was one
which called for repeated encores. The
performance was under the direction
of Prof. F. R. Jacoby and the music
was exceptionally well rendered. In
the long list of entertainers were many
well known musicians of the city and
all of them gave polished performances
The solos by Miss Meyers, Mr.. Brine,
Miss English and Mr.. Hill were es-
pecially well rendered. The comedy
IN the minstrels was given by Walter
Wells and Jay GIerum and they both
made big hits.
The old fashioned first part with
lot Of local hits was pulled off with
William Senne as interIocutor and
competent company of end men.
The Irish Tiger" the closing piece
for the performance presented under
the direction of Miss Marie Heating.
was decidedly interesting and every
part taken was well taken.

cier bargaining for every foot of
ground he yielded.
With the defeat Of the resolution for
extension, Mr. Butler addressed the
chair and demanded to know why the
expressed demand of the property own
ers in the neighborhood had been turned
down by the Council and he was prompt
~ told by one Of the aldermen that
the resolution had been voted down
by the men who represented his own
ward and the wards adjoining. Mayor
Scholey then launched out on a de-
tense of the aldermen who had voted
against the resolution and he became
so excited in his defense and in a
personal attack on Frost that he could
not even recognize a point of order.
The attack on Frost reached its climax
when Scholey relinquished the chair to
City Attorney Slater and walking out
into the lobby addressed Frost person
ally. He declared that Frost had not
kept promises made with him and that
he was attempting to pull the wool over
the eyes of the property owners and
the Council. This took we'll with the
Market street property owners, but with
the paving slipping away it did not ap-
peal to the property owners on Grand
avenue at all. Frost answered in kind
but it must be admitted that his answer
was little more dignifed than the at
of hn t. IL
he was seeking to pull the wool over
no ones eyes and that he was satisfied
with the action of the Council in kill
ing the resolution. Scholey declared
that if Frost relinquished his rights on
Grand avenue he must as we'll on Ash
land avenue and Frost retorted that
this would be a matter for the courts
and not the mayor to settle and that
ne was ready to take his chances. In
the meantime the aldermen were being
bombarded by the property owners. One
of them declared that it would be a
matter of only fifteen minutes to get
a rival street railway into the city, an
other stated that he was ready to quit
the Council, while the Fourth ward al
dermen were vigorously welding their
whip to get Market street paved Frost
remained serene during the fuss and
furry and when the matter had cool
ed down again he went through the
monotonous recital of what the com
pany would do.
1t was the fifth or sixth time that he
had repeated it and it had become tire
some. Then the aldermen from the
wards in which the property owners
lived got together and when the senti-
ment Of the people was made plain to
them there was a grand rush for the
band wagon. Alderman Thomassen
moved to reconsider the action on the
resolution and the reconsideration cot
a unanimous vote. Then came the vote
on the resolution and it went through
a whooping, every man in the Council
putting himself on record as favoring
the resolution.
By this time the pickering and the
fighting was over it had reached the
wee small hour period of the morning
and the aldermen without further argu-
ment adjourned.

Windsor Spring Company Files Articles
of Amendment to It's State Charter

An amendment to the articles Of or
ganization Of the Windsor Spring Com
pany was filed with the register of
deeds this morning by which the capital
stock Of the company is increased from
$4,000 to 100000. The increase was

holders Of the company. No official
announcement has been made as to the
plans for the future of the company
but it is understood that the business

increase in business. Mr.. Windsor was
not in the city today, but a more def
mite statement of the plans will probab-
ly be given out later.

FOR SANITARY MILK
Borden Co. To Force a Revolution
in Management of Diaries
in KenOsha County
FARMERS LIKE NEW PLANS
All Cattle Must Be Kept in a Sanitary
Condition and Barns Where They
Are Housed Must Be Kept
in Perfect Condition

A general revolution of the methods
of conducting dairies in Kenosha coun-
ty and especially in the towns Of Bris-
tol and Salem is promised as result
of the purchase Of the Salem Creamery
by the Borden Milk Company. The
managers of the company are planning
to convert the creamery into one Of
the largest bottling plants in this Sec
tion of the country and it is to be made
a model of sanitary equipment. The
company is not going to stop at having
the plant sanitary, but the agents of
the company propose to have every gal
Ion of milk sold to the creamery
brought from diaries that are conducted
on strictly sanitary lines. To this end
Herman SchlOske who was formerly the
butter maker at the Salem Creamery is
making trip throughout the territory
adjacent to the new milk station de-
handing that farmers who desire to
sell milk to the Borden Company make
the proper sanitary improvements in
their diaries. Schloske is demanding
that all stables used for the housing of
mich COWS be kept scrupulously clean,
all must be whitewashed on the inside,
the COWS must be cleaned at regular
intervals and the vessels in which the
milk is handled must be strictly sani-
tary. Several hundred people in the
neighborhood of the creamery are
planning to sell milk to the Chicago
companies and while the company has
stated that it is willing to pay good
price for the milk they will demand that
every specification in regard to the con
ditiOn of the daiTles be carried out to
the letter
Many of the farmers in the two
towns have already started work to
clean up the COW barns and the build
ings where milk is handled and it is
pretty certain that all Of them will
follow the demands of the big com
pany. The Borden company is planning
to make the Salem plant one of it's big
supply houses and when the plant is
ready for business twenty men will be
employed to handle the milk from the
Salem and Bristo. dairies. Most of
this milk will be sent to Chicago but
it is probable that later on the COM
pany will begin the sale of bottled
milk in Kenosha and Racine. In fit
ting up the plant at Salem the company
has followed closely the suggestions of
the Illinois and Wisconsin State Boards
of Health and copy of their regula-
lions is being sent to every farmer
who is rated as customer of the com
pany
1t is expected that the sanitary dairy
will become fixture in Kenosha coun-
ty and that all other companies will
follow the lead of the Borden Com
pany and demand similar restrictions on
the people selling milk to them It is
expected that from the two towns the
move for cleaner milk will spread to
all parts of the county.

REDUCE POSTAL RATES
Letter Postage of Cents on Ounce Be-
tween United States and British Isles

tween United States and British Isles
Postmaster General Meyer announced
Wednesday that an agreement has been
reached with the British government
providing for a letter postage of 2
cents an ounce between the United
States and Great Britain and Ireland.
to become operative October l, 1908.
The matter of "penny postage -
as it is called in England, has been
under consideration for some time and
as far back as last July President
Roosevelt approved Mr.. Meyers course
In urging a "restricted union with
England"
Postmaster General Meyer believes
that this reduction in the rate of post
age to the United Kingdom ultimately
will result in an increase in receipts.
because it has always been found that
reduction of the letter rate resulted
finally in increasing the revenue. He
is also of the opinion that a lower post
age will lead to freer commercial
intercourse.

HAD NARROW ESCAPE
Mrs. Fred Blackman is Thrown Out of
Buggy When Catch basin Top Tips Up

Mrs. Fred Blackman, of the town of
Bristol and well known in the city,
narrowly escaped injury in an unusual
accident at the corner of Park and
Main streets late Wednesday after
noon. With her two little boys Mrs.
Blackman was driving along the street
when the hind feet Of the horse stepped
on the top Of catch-basin in such
manner that the top tipped up and the
horse Is legs went into the catch-basin.
Mrs Blackman was driving and when
the horse stumbled she was thrown out
OF the buggy striking on her head.
Fortunately the two boys were not
thrown out and pedestrians hurried to
their rescue. Mrs. Blackman escaped
with slight bruises, but was consider
ably shocked by her fall. The horse
was badly injured. The catch-basin
was repaired this morning but the city
will probably be asked to pay the dam
ages.

STOPPED THE CAR
Alderman of Sixth Ward Makes An Eff
fort to Stop Traffic On Street Railway

Alderman Morey Schend of the
sixth ward figured as principal in an
exciting little incident on Newell street
Thursday afternoon which tied up the
traffic of the Kenosha Electric Railway
Company for nearly twenty minutes
Schend drove his horse onto the tracks
of the company and refused to bulge
to allow the car to pass declaring to
the motorman and conductor that Frost
would have to get new franchise be-
fore he could operate cars on the
street. The horse and alderman were
finally removed by force by the en-
ployes Of the company. It is probable
that there will be some future develop
ments in regard to the matter.

REMEMBERING THE MAINE, %
What Has Been Done to Recover the Bodies
of Those Missing Who Were Blown Up
in Her.

What Has Been Done to Recover the Bodies
! of Those Missing Who Were Blown Up
in Her.
AS recently as March 10th the House
of Representatives passed resolution
calling on the Secretary of the Navy
for all information in the departments
possession relating to what had been
done in the past in regard to an attempt
to raise the hulk of the battleShlp
Maine sunk in Havana harbor, so that
Congress may be fully Informed If it
decides to take action in the future to
recover the bodies yet remaining in
that ship.
In the Secretary's communication to
the House bearing date of March %,
1908, there appear several interesting
statements in connection with this mat
ter For instance, in 1898, ten years
ago, Congress in joint resolution ap-
propriated $4,000 20 be used for the
recovery of the bodies of officers and
men, of whom 231 were killed or wound
ed when the Maine was blown up. OF
this number, "a bodies were recovered
and buried at Key West; 1854 were buried
at Havana, and subsequently removed
to the United States. Total number OF
bodies recovered, 1SS, leaving 60 not
found.
Of the $500, 900 appropriated i'll 1898,
the Merritt & Chapman Wrecklng Com
pany and the Boston ToWboat Com
pany were paid $50,039.67 for their ser
vices in recovering the movable stuff
from the hull, such as armament, ships
safes, anchors and chains, torpedoeS,
shells, etc. The wreckers engaged in this
work were paid SO much per diem for
the use of their plant and men; the
former consisted of the 26O-ton derrick
Monarch, tugboat Underwater, wreck
ing steamer John ID. Jones, lighter Sey-
mour, derrick Chief, barge Lone Star.
The crew were composed of wreck
master, assistant wreck MASTER two
foremen, four pump engineers, four
divers, besides four steam pumps with
boilers and their connections.
At the time this contract was made
between the wrecking companies and
the Navy Department it was optional on
the part of the latter to have work con-
! tinued at the rate agreed until the hulk
! was raised and delivered at New York,
| when a bonus of 500 would be paid
them, or it was to be discontinued when
! it was found that no more bodies could
be recovered. The latter course was
pursued after one months time had
been consumed and it had been decided
that the wreck would have to be raised
to recover anything more, which would
entail at least four months difficult
work.
In Secretary Metcalf's report to the
House last month appear letters from
private parties and corporations desir-
ing the government to authorize them
to raise the Maine without expense to
it. The replies have been, in substance,
that our government is of the opinion
| that no transfer could be made of this
wreck other than through an agreement
between the Cuban and the United
States authorities.
The foregoing is practically the his
tory of all that has been down toward
raising the Maine from the bottom of
the harbor OF Havana, where she was
blown up on the night of February Is,

GERMAN APPLE JUICE.

There are four plants in the consular
district of Munich where pure apple
Juice is steriiZed. The method of man
ufacture, if it may be so called, is most
simple.
The apples are, as soon as possible
after picking (much Importance is given
to this), forwarded to the factory. The
first process is absolute cleaning and
washing.
From the washing tank they are car
ried by means of an endless chain OF
buckets to receptacle where the apples
are torn into small particles. These
are placed in the hydraulic press.
The apple juice when drawn from the
press is placed in a large alright retort
where it is sterilized: it is then allowed
to settle for some days, and then filter
ed. SO that the juice is absolutely trans
parent.
The Juice is then bottled, a slight
amount of carbonic gas is added, and
space of about an inch left in the bot
tie between the cork and the juice to al:
low for expansion; the bottles are placed
in a car and this car with its load OF
bottles is rolled into retort where the
Juice is pasteurized, the process taking
about four hours, and absolutely de-
stroving any germ life that might exist.
The pure apple juice thus treated con-
tains perhaps one-half percent of alco-
hol and is most delicious drink, re-
tanning all the flavor OF pure apple
cider.-Consular Reports.
