PLEADS FOR TREES

The pride Of Kenosha is her shade

should destroy whole row Of them or
only one, the citizens would rightfully
be "up in arms and demand quick
retribution.
It has remained for our own city
authorities to Jordan that a slight
rise in Elizabeth street shall be
graded down to dead level as to raod-
way and sidewalks thus necessitating
the destruction of score or more Of
beautiful elm trees planted by the late
Josiah Bond, more than twenty five
years ago.
On Prairie avenue, where the condi-
tions were essentially the same, the paw
ing and sidewalk grades were made to
follow the slight ascent and the shade
trees were saved. Why could not the
same policy have controlled on
Elizabeth street, thus saving the beau
tiful trees, some Of which are upwards
Of fifteen inches in diameter and which
cannot be grown again in a quarter Of
a century.
Those of us living on Dayton and
Pomeroy, parallel streets, cannot view
with submissiveness the coming de-
struction of our trees when the city
get ready to swoop down on
us and destroy our beautiful elms.
When out riding view those on Pomeroy
and Dayton streets, west of Pleasant
street, so you may realize what "beau-
ties'' were destroyed on Elizabeth
street.
This is outdoor art and civic i'm

TRUE TO HIS FAITH

True to his faith as follower of John
Alexander Dowie, William Cuff, al
though he himself thought that he was
dying, declined to accept medical treat
ment this morning and borne by six
of his fellow labOreres unconscious was
taken to the Chicago and Milwaukee
Station and from there to his home in
Zion City.
The faith of Cuff was tested when
he fell from peak of a building at the
corner of Lyman avenue and Elizabeth
street. He had been working as car
penter on the very peak of the build
ing when in some manner he missed his
hold on the scaffolding and with
crash fell thirty feet to the ground be-
low. A pile Of building material had
been left on the ground and one Of the
pieces of wo-byfours pierced the man s
side Other Zionites who were employ
ed on the same job rushed to the rescue
Of the man and he was picked up in a
dazed condition. It was evident that
he had been terribly injured and as Dr.
j. R. Eastman was passing he was called
lover. AS the doctor came up Cluff open
ed his eyes and with a gesture Of pro
test told the doctor to go away 81 am
dying" said the injured man, "and I
want to be taken to Zion City to die. :"
This was all he said for a second later
he lapsed into inconsistencies and he
did not regain his senses before he was
taken out of the city. The other mem
bers of the party informed the doctor
that his services were not desired
Cuff is thirty-seven years of age and
carpenter by trade. He has been one
of the leaders in the Christian Catholic
Churches in Zion, but had been working
IN Kenosha for many months. He was
well known among local carpenters.
The injured man has wife and two
children living in Zion and he was tax
len to his home there and attended by
elders of the church.

Catholic Order of Foresters in Ke.
nosha Celebrate Noteworthy
Event on Wednesday
KELLER PRAISES ORDER
State Secretary of the Organization
Tells of What Has Been Accom-
plished in the Twenty-five
Years in the Order

Joining with members of the Catho
lie Order Of Foresters in nearly every
city of the United States, the Heiss
Court No. 159 of this city, last night
celebrated the twenty fifth anniversary
of the founding of the order. In honor
Of the passing Of the quarter Of
century, there was great gathering
Of the members of the Kenosha Court,
their wives, their children and their
sweethearts at Germania Hall and the
celebration proved to be one of the
most interesting social events of the
spring season in Kenosha.
Many Of the members Of the order
came from other cities to assist in the
celebration and the principal speech
of the evening was delivered by Gus
tav Keller of Appleton, the state secre-
tary Of the organization. In his ad-
dress Mr.. Keller outlined the accom-.
plishments Of the Foresters during the
twenty-five years and gave some idea
Of the plans of the organization for the
future. He spoke Of the great good
that fraternal organization in general
had done in the past twenty-five years
and especially Of the work done by For
estry. The Catholic Order of Forest
ers was organized in Chicago on May
26, 1888, starting with only few
members. In the twenty-five years the
principles of Forestry have been carried
to nearly all Of the larger cities of the
United States. The organization now
has membership Of more than
100000 and during the past twenty-five
years the organization paid out over
ST., 100000 in benefits.
The Kenosha Court is one of the old
est courts of the order, it having been
organized fourteen years ago. At the
present time it is one of the strongest
fraternal organizations in the city and
has a membership Of nearly 800.
The gathering last night was one en-
tirely representative of the Kenosha
membership Of the order Fully six
hundred people were in attendance and
some of the members had been members
of the organization since Heiss Court
was established fourteen years ago In
addition to the address by the state
secretary, there were several numbers
given by members of the organization
and the evenings entertainment was
enlivened by number of vaudeville
stunts provided by we'll known enter
tainers.
! At 1890 the members Of the order
entertained their guests at luncheon
IN the dining room in the basement of
the large building and covers were laid
for 600. After dinner was over the
guests returned to the hall and an in
formal dance was lnnaugurated which
continued until early morning. The
music for the dance was furnished by
the Becker orchestra
The celebration was a great success
from every standpoint and the commit
tee in charge is entitled to high praise.

TO THE PUBLIC

Owing to the stringency Of the times
the packers and wholesale houses have
practically demanded cash settlement
Of all bills This is a much shorter
time than we have formerly had for
payment and makes it necessary for us
to conduct our markets on more of a
cash basis than we have been doing.
AS result Of this action The Retail
Butchers Protective Association have
passed the following resolution.
Beginning June 1, all customers do
ing business at any market must pay
their bills once a week and that no
balances whatever will be carried longer
than that time.

Old CaIkins Building at Corner Of
Main and Market SITS. To Be
Nothing But a Memory
ADJUSTERS ARE COMING

A splendid new building will rise on
the site Of the old Calkins building at
the corner of Main and Market street
partially destroyed by fire on Thursday
afternoon if the plans of Harry Epstein,
the owner are carried out.
Mr. Epstein came to Kenosha last
night and surveyed the ruins of the old
building and after looking through it
he declared that he did not think it
possible to repair it. The building was
badly Quilted and the portion of it not
touched by the fire was badly battered
up by the fremen. Mr. Epstein said
last night that he thought that the fire
men had been unnecessarily rude in the
manner in which they attacked the old
building and that ne thought the dam
age by the fremen was almost as great
as the damage done by fire and water.
1t is certain that the fremen did their
full duty in attempting to stop the
spread of the flames, but the old build
ing was not handled with gloves
The insurance adjusters are expected
to arrive in Kenosha this afternoon or
tomorrow and as soon as the work of
adjusting the insurance is completed
the plans for rebuilding will be taken
up. Mr.. Epstein had plans for a new
building drawn a year ago and it is
probable that these plans will now be
called into service. ""You can rest as
sured that when we build we will build
handsome building on the corner, /"
said Mr.. Epstein last night, but further
he would not commit himself. AS the
corner is one of the best business loca-
tions in the city it is certain that it will
not be permitted to lay idle
The Office Of the City Health Depart
ment has been removed to the Ames
building and DR.. Spalding stated last
night that all of the records Of the de-
partment were removed from the build
ing without damage. Emanuel Epstein
who had been the manager for his broth
er in Kenosha, stated last night that
but four Italians had lived in the upper
part of the building and that these peo-
pie had lost practically nothing. The
heaviest loss is on the stock of the Bell
Clothing House, which will be turned
over to the Insurance Company as a
total loss. Alderman John Thomas
sen Is saloon was put out of business
by the fire and the stock and fixtures
are being stored in the basement Of the
Meyers block

Would Be Murderer of Wife and
Another Held for Trial in the
Circuit Court Today
HE WAVES EXAMINATION
NO Witnesses Are Called in the Case
and Bond is Fixed at $4,000
Accused May Give Bond IL
Hearing is Continued
(From Thursdays Daily.)

| Martin Schleyer, arrested on May 10
on a charge Of attempting to kill his
wife, Martha Schleyer and Herman
IKoehler, was arraigned before Justice
McCarron this morning on a charge Of
shooting with intent to murder. The
accused man through his attorneys
waived examination and was held to
trial at the next term of the Circuit
Court in bonds Of $4,000. He returned
to Jail.
The hearing which had attracted a
number of auditors to the court room
was exceedingly brief and the defen-
dant was not forced to break the solid
silence that he has maintained since
his arrest. When the case was called
the attorneys announced that Schleyer
had decided to waive examination and
this ended the hearing with the excep-
ton of the fixing of the bond. The
attorney for Schleyer had been expect
ed to make a fight at the hearing in
order to get line on the evidence that
would be offered against their client on
the trial in the Circuit Court, but the
district attorney had planned to put on
ly a couple preliminary witnesses on
the stand holding that it would be IN
necessary to bring either Mrs. Schleyer
or Koehler into court to show sufficient
evidence to mold Schleyer. Both Of the
victims of the shooting are recovering
and it is possible that both of them
could have been in court this morning
had the defense made any fight against
Schleyer being bound over.
Schleyer had made several statements
to the sheriff and these with the bare
facts Of the tragedy were thought by
the district attorney to be sufficient evi-
dence to bind him over so no effort was
made to get the other witnesses into the
court room. The reduction of the bond
which had originally been placed at
$4,000 was made on account Of the fact
that it seems certain that both of the
victims of Schleyer will recover. It is
said that the attorneys for Schleyer will
seek to have the trial of the case laid
over until the September term, but
the district attorney will probably be
ready for trial when the jury in the Cir
cult Court returns to Kenosha a week.
from next Monday. The attorneys for
Schleyer seem 20 think that his relatives
will be able to put up bond Of $4,000
and if the Circuit Court will consent
to a reduction of the bond it is very
probable that the attorneys for Schleyer
will be most willing to have the case
go over to the September term. The
wishes of Mrs. Schleyer and Koehler
have not been consulted in arranging
for the trial, but it is said that the wife
is not vindictive and that she will lay
no straw in the way of her former hus-
band to secure a continuance of the
hearing. The attorneys for Schleyer
gave no hint Of the defense at the pre-
liminary hearing this morning but it is
understood that they are preparing
great fight for the release of the man.
