VERDICT IN FIFTEEN MINUTES
Jury Returns a Verdict in Marshall
Grow Suit In Short Order

The jury in the suit of Robert Mar
shall VS.. Clarence Crow established a
new record for the time spent ia reach
ing special verdicts in tie Circuit Court
Tuesday afternoon when it brought in
a verdict in the case just fifteen minutes
after the case had been given it for
consideration. Marshall sued fol- dam
ages for personal injuries while an en-
ploye of Crow and the case went to the
jury just before six clock. The attor
neys and the Court evidently thought
that it would take some time to reach
verdict and they left the court room.
They had no more than reached Main
street when the jury announced that it
had agreed. Judge Belden could not be
found and the verdict was returned as
a sealed verdict to be opened tomorrow
morning. It is generally believed
among the attorneys interested in the
case that the verdict is favorable to
the defendant.

WANT PARK COMMISSION
Members of the Outdoor Art Association
Will Seek to Have New Commission

Members Of the Kenosha Outdoor Art
Association are making an effort to
have a working park commission ap-
pointed for Kenosha and this will prob
ably be one of the first propositions laid
before the City Council after election.
The members Of the association seek to
have either three or five men named by
the Council whose duty shall be to have
charge Of the improvement Of all the
parks in the city and to make such sug-
gestions as they may see fit in regard to
the purchase of new grounds about the
city for the use of parks The members
of the association believe that such a
plan would. result in the parks of the
city being kept in much better condi-
ton during the spring and summer
months and that the working commits
sion would in short time find several
places about the city that could be pur-
chased at low price and which would
make splendid addition to the present
park system

GETTING PLANS READY
Postmaster Maloney Notified That Plans
For Postofice Will Be Ready Soon

Postmaster John B. Maloney has re-
ceived notice from the supervising ar
chitect of the United States Govern
ment stating that the plans for the
public building in Kenosha are now
well under way and that they will be
ready for inspection within the next
sixty days. The architect has asked
the postmaster to furnish him all infor-
nation possible in regard to the en-
ployes of the office that arrangements
may be made for the proper accommo-
dations for all Of them.
The plans when ready will be turned
over to contractors at once and it is
said that the architect will make an
effort to have the work on the building
started the present year. If this plan
can be carried out it is possible that
the building will be ready for occu-
pancy by the latter part of next year.
The usual delays however may be ex-
pected and Kenosha Will be fortunate
if the building is completed by the time
the present lease on the room on the
Meyers block expires two years from
now.

STILL SEEK GALLAGHER
No Trace is Found by Searchers For Man
Supposed to Be in the River

Captain Fountain of the Kenosha
Life Saving Crew and several of the
ether members of the crew are still
dragging the Kenosha river in an effort
to find some trace of the body of Thom>
as Gallagher who disappeared on Satur>
day and who is supposed to have been
drowned in the waters of the Kenosha
river. Nearly every portion of the riv-
er has been gone over by the life savers
without any results. The friends of
Gallagher claim that there is no doubt
but that he went into the river and
they seem to think it possible that his
body has drifted under one of the large
boats tied up near the place where he
is supposed to have fallen in. The search
for the body is being continued this af-
ternoon. Some of the people about the
tannory still insist that Gallagher did
not go into the river but a careful
search by the police failed to reveal any
trace of him about the city.

People Signing Petitions for Law
and Order Threatened With
Trade Discrimination
PROSECUTIONS MAY FOLLOW

1t is reported in certain circles of the
city today that certain people opposed
to activity that has been shown by the
Civic Federation are planning to declare
a boycott against certain people who
signed the petitions for law and order
recently presented to the City Council.
1t is estimated that this matter is
mostly being boosted by certain mem
bers of the so-called saloon organization
and they admit that they have no decid-
edly friendly feeling for the men who
signed the petitions. It is claimed that
in some cases efforts have been made to
have men discharged on account of the
fact that they signed the petitions and
the activity is being especially directed
against tradesmen who took interest in
the reform movement
The Rev. E. T. Farrill who was chair
man of the committee circulating the
petitions when told in regard to the
proposed boycott Monday, said: "Just
let them try that and I assure you that
it will be the biggest boomerang that
these gentlemen ever went against.
There is no reason to believe that the
Common Council vii take any action in
regard to the matter before the city
election and yet it is just possible that
the rumor of boycott is being circulated
to force the aldermen to hesitate before
they take any action or express them.
selves.
The boycott has not been very popu,
lar in the United States and it is proba-
bic that should an open boycott be
started against any of the men signing
the petition there would be immediate
prosecutions and the United States Su-
preme Court has spoken deeisively in
regard to the boycott proposition.
1t is understood that prominent citi-
zens Of the city have promised to give
aid to the reform organizations in fight
ing any effort to use the boycott as
weapon to oppose the enforcement of
law At any rate some interesting
things are promised

HISTORY OF FINANCE
University Of Wisconsin To Issue
History of Finances Of Wis.
conSin in Near Future
TO SHOW TAX LEGISLATION

The first general history Of the pub
tic finances Of Wisconsin from terfitori-
al days to the present time, prepared
by DR.. Raymond V. Phelan, sometime
fellow in economics at the state univer-
sity, has just been published by the
University of Wisconsin in a bulletin
entitled" The Financial History Of Wis
consin.' Among the important sub
jects of current interest discussed by
Mr.. Phelan in this monograph are tax
legislation, taxation Of corporations, in
capabilities of the present system of as
sessing property, and the question of
appointed or elected assessors. He
takes up in detail the question of the
general property tax and the problems
Of administration, equalization evasion,
inequality, differentiation and the taxa
ton of credits; and explains the rela-
tion between state and local taxes. The
author has made a most exhaustive in
vestigation Of public records and all
other sources Of information in com
piling this review of the administration
of state moneys. The bulletin, which is
intended for general distribution within
the state upon request to the secretary
of the University Board of Regents, will
be found of exceptional interest and
usefulness to all assessors Of the state,
to the local tax officials in towns and
coantles, and to city tax commissioners,
q ac 4n bow ybo
ested in knowing just how the funds Of
the state are raised and administered.
OF particular interest are the chapters
on the taxation Of corporations. The
ad valorem plan of taxing railroad
property now in force in the state, the
taxation Of other public service COM
panies, such as telegraph, telephone, ex-
press, street railway, and gas and cleo
trio lighting and the system of centraliz-
ed assessment by the state tax commits
sion, are treated in detail by Mr..
Phelan
With reference to the inequalities
that arise under the present system of
assessing property for taxation pur-
poses, DR.. Phelan says: Wisconsin, as
well as every other state, has had an
unfortunate experience with elected as
SCISSORS. Perhaps the time is not far
distant when this progressive state will
have the property of it's citizens as
sessed by officers who will give all of
their time to the work, who will be ap-
pointed by the state board, under civil
rules, and who will not be hampered in
the discharge of their duties by any
dependence, political or otherwise, upon
the persons whose property they will
assess for taxation
The history, on the whole, is com
mandatory of Wisconsin. It points with
approval to the many safeguards that
have been erected around the admins
tration Of the states finances, and to
the progressive attitude shown by state
officials in solving the numerous prob
lens that arise in the collection and
disbursement of the taxes, and in the
establishment Of equitable relations be-
tween the taxation of corporate proper
Ity and private, property.

the governor.
One from Michigan, to be appointed
by the governor.
One from Grand Rapids, to be ap-
pointed by the mayor
One from Indiana, representing Ham
mond, Whiting and East Chicago, to be
appointed b. the mayors jointly.
This commission would be charged
with the duty of studying and report
ing on the following points:
How much pollution is emptying into
Lake Michigan yearly.
The direction of lake currents.
The present pollution OF" the lake
water.
The future of the lake water.
The distance to which pollution can
and does travel in Lake Michigan.

Kenosha Has Greatest Election
Interest 10 History of City
on tuesday Evening
SCH0LEY CELEBRATES EARLY
Alleman Entertains Friends at Cards
Regardless of Interest in Outcome
and Other Candidates Disappear
Early IN the Evening

The political frenzy which had ruled
in Kenosha for the past few days had
its elimination Tuesday night when great
crowds Of people crowded the streets
and the various polling places Of the
city seeking news of the election and
watching the count of the ballots. 1t
was a wild night in the city and it was
not until the first faint streaks of the
early dawn were creeping up over the
lake that the pent up spirits of the
friends of the victors were released by
the welcome news of victory. For
hours there was an uncertainty in re-
gard to the nominees of both of the
leading parties and in the various places
where the returns were being received
there was great anxiety. In the fold Of
the regular Democratic party the early
returns looked bad and carly in the
evening it was all but conceded that
Scholey mad defeated German for the
nomination, but the friends of German
were still hoping against hope that he
would win.
Alleman the successful candidate of
the Republicans was at his home during
the entire evening. With his wife he
had planned to entertain one of the
card clubs for the evening and the
house was pretty we'll filled up with the
members Of the club but the constant
telephone calls and the rejoicing over
the result left little time for the card
A
practically conceded the nomination of
Alleman before the polls closed and he
was about watching some Of the alder
manic contests in which he was inter
ested. Prof. Trenary received the re
turns in the seclusion of ms home and
was not ningling with any of the poll
tical parties during the evening.
M. j. Scholey was very much in evi-
dence during the night. His red auto
mobile was kept on the run between the
different voting places and he personally
watched the counting Of the votes while
he handed out smiles and cigars galore.
He was impartial in his favors and the
cigars were good ones. Scholey and
the men who had directed his campaign
remained at the polls until the late vote
had been counted in the Third ward.
Then it was too early for celebration
of the victory and the men crept home
to sleep
Mayor German was not in evidence
during the evening and it was said that
he was hidden away among his friends
in the Third ward and eagerly watched
the returns which put a close to his
political career for the present
Most the candidates were about early
this morning beginning to lay the plans
for the final week of the campaign and
there is something coming for the peo-
pie which will be decidedly novel and
exciting.
Many of the people of the city in
terested in the contest remained on the
street until midnight, but when the
final figures in the struggle for the
nominations were received the streets
were practically deserted and the re-
suits were told to only few of the
most enthusiastic of the politicians and
the candidates themselves.
The following are the returns:
