Police Find There Is No Ordinance
Under Which the Peddiers
May Be Prosecuted
ONE PEDOLER IN CUSTODY
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

The police Of the city struck legal
snag this morning when a man adj
mittedly from Chicago was taken into
custody on a charge of peddling with
out a license The man was taken into
Justice McCarron IS court but after the
City Attorney had been called and the
laws of the city examined it was found
that there was no city ordinance by
which the man could be forced to take
out a license. The officers discovered
that there was state law which would
make the man liable to fine Of twenty
five dollars but up to a late hour he had
not been arrested under this law The
man with a companion had been making
ing the rounds Of the city selling sugar
cured hams and apples. 1t was claimed
that he represented to the people to
whom he offered the products that they
were from farms in Kenosha county
but it was noted that the hams bore
the inspection marks of the United
States Government inspectors and ii is
generally believed that they came di-
rectly from the packing house to Ke-
nosha. The two men who were selling
the hams were dressed as farmers but
when the one man was taken into Gus
tody he admitted that he was from
Chicago
The city is now overrun with peddlers
and while there is no way to interfere
with the farmers who live In The
county selling the products raised on
their farms in the city it is certain that
the men who come in from other cities
can be stopped by law. The local
dealers are protesting against these
men being allowed to do business in
the city. 1t is claimed that in many
cases these men secure refuse products
from the big packing houses in Chicago
and sell them on the streets of Ke-
nosha at price much higher than is
charged for the same sort of products
in perfect condition in the local mar
kets.
It is probable that the case of the
men taken into custody this morning
will be referred to State Treasury
Agent Markham.

SHOT IN COURT ROOM
Woman Whose Husband Is Alleged
To Work in kenosha Causes
Sensation at Waukegan
CLAIMS HONOR WAS ASSAILED

Mrs. Alfred Crewe, whose husband
is said to have recently worked in
Kenosha, made a daring attempt on
the life of Arthur Nichols in a Justice
Court at Waukegan last Saturday after
noon and the man was so badly wound
ed that it is stated today that he may
die from the results Of his injuries.
The woman drew the revolver with
which the shooting was done from the
folds of her dress and before she
could be prevented fired two shots at
Nichols. One Of them took effect in
the liver of the injured man while the.
other went wild. The shooting took.
place in the Justice Court of Justice
Weiss and it followed the discharge
OF Nichols who had been arrested at
the instance of the woman who shot
him. She claimed that Nichols had
assaulted her. CreWe, the husband of
the woman, who is said to be employed
IN Kenosha is alleged to have had
knowledge of the fact that the woman
had planned the shooting and it is
claimed that he was prevented from
entering the court room by officials.
Both CreWe and his wife were ar
rested but it is not known what charg-
es will be brought against them. Gre
we is alleged to have been working in
Kenosha since the first OF the year,
but it has not been possible to discover
where he was employed. The shooting
caused great excitement in Waukegan
on account OF the fact that the victim
is well known.

Volunteer Fire Department Meets
in Annual Session at City
Hall Monday Evening
OLD OFFICERS REFLECTED
That Volunteers Will Receive En-.
tire Amount Collected From
Insurance Premiums

The annual meeting of the Kenosha
Volunteer Fire Department was held
at the City Hall on Monday evening
and the fact that thirty of the mem
bers of the department were absent
from the meeting showed that the
interest in the department is falling
off. Many of the men who had been
most active in the affairs of the volun-
.teer fremen III other years were not
present at the meeting. The usual re-
ports were made and little business
of Importance came before the meeting
It is evident that some of the members
Of the Volunteer department are Wor-
rying over the workings Of the new
fireman pension law and City At
torney Slater who was present at the
meeting was asked to give an opinion
as to whether or not the funds col
lected from the insurance agents for
business written in 1907 would have
to be divided between the new fire
man IS pension fund and the fund for
the support Of the volunteer depart
ment. The Attorney gave an unofficial
opinion that this was not the case
and that the entire amount collected
for business written last year must
be divided as in the past. However,
he stated that he would gle he Urea
surer Of the Department an opinion on
the matter before the time for the
collection Of the two per cent tax
The only other real interesting thing
to come up was an effort to limit the
number of members Of the various Vo-
lunteer companies to the present mem
bership and motion TO this effect was
made and seconded but President Wal
lis held that the motion was out of
order on account of the fact that the
number of members in each company
was limited by ordinance and that
the department. could not go behind
this limitation. 1t was held that some
Of the companies had recently elected
members and that they were sharing
in the division of the fund of the
volunteers.
The ordinance provides that each
company shall be limited to sixteen
members and until that number Of
members is reached the company may
continue to elect members regardless
to other arrangements. Following the
usual rule it was voted to mark all
absentees who were members of the
paid department as present The usual
fine Of dollar for each absent member
will be assessed and will be subtract
ed from the amount due to the members
at the time the next division of the
fund is made.
No effort was made to bring up the
old matter of disbanding the depart
ment and it was evident that the men
present at the meeting last night were
in favor Of keeping up the old organi-
cation.
The old officers were reelected by
reclamation as follows President,
George Wallis; Vice-President, G. II.
Goodman; Secretary, L. S. Vinegar ;
Treasurer, Charles G. Brown; Collector.

STILL SEARCH FOR RATHER
Friends Have Little Hope of Finding
Any Trace of Man Before Spring

Friends of F. W. Raether, the miss.
ing keeper of the Waukegan light,
nave about given up all hope of find
ing his body before late in the spring.
The Waukegan harbor is now complef-
ely ice locked and if the body of Raet-
her is in the water near the harbor il
will certainly be caught in this ice
and it is possible that with the break
ing up of the ice in the spring tie
body will be carried far frem the scene
of the former la5ors of the missing
man. Members of the Kenosha Life
Saving Station have made many trips
to Waukegan since the first of the year
thinking that the body might be
brought to the surface but they have
found no trace Of the missing man.
Mrs Raether, the widow of the light
keeper, is still making her home at
the Waukegan light house and she wiR
probably remain there until after the
opening of the season of navigation.

MANY CALLS FOR HELP
City Begins To Feel the Effect of CYosed.
Factories by Demands for Aid

Factories by Demands for Aid
The city began to feel the effects OF
closed factories with the first touch of
real winter this morning, and Mayor
German and members of the pauper
committee were kept busy answering
calls for assistance. In most cases the
calls were from people who had never
asked the city for aid before and nearly
all Of them were appeals for coal
Some of the applicants for help offered
to go to work for the city in order to
pay back the amount allowed and a
number of such people were put to
work shoveling snow on the streets,
There were few demands for pro-
visions but nearly all were for coal.
All of the demands are being supplied
by the city provided the committee
finds that the petitioners are really in
need of help.
