People in That Town Favoring
Prohibition Have Requisite
Number Of Signers
HARD FIGHT AGAINST SAL CONS

The people Of the town of Somers
are determined to fight out the question
Of license or no-license at the coming
township election and there is some rea
son to believe that Somers will be the
first town in the county to rout out
the saloons. Reports from Somers to-
day state that the petitions for the no
license election have been signed by a
sufficient number of voters and that
there is no doubt but that the question
will be submitted to the voters in
April.
S0mers has for years been a battle
ground for the friends and the foes Of
che saloons and for severol years the
friends Of the saloons have held the ap-
per hand. At the present time there
are four saloons in Scmers. One Just
west Of Kenosha, one in the village,
one just outside the village limits, and
one at Central Park All of these sa-
looms do good business but it is claim
ed that Central Park is the real place
aimed at by the friends of prohibit
III the town. The park has been
operated as a pleasure resort for years
and it is the gathering place of large
crowds nearly every Sunday. Recently
a vaudeville theatre has been opened
at the place and the Sunday afternoon
and evening performances seem to have
gone against the grain with the prohi-
bitlon inclined at Somers and this fact
has been one Of the leading causes in
the start of the no-license campaign.
1t is claimed that before the town
voted in favor of license there were a
half dozen blind pigs doing business
IN the town and that more LIQUOR was
sold then than now, but the people Of
the town who are backing the campaign
seem to prefer to go back to the rule
of the blind pig.
Petitions for no license campaign
were put in circulation in the town Of
Pleasant Prairie but it is not thought
that the reform leaders will secure a
sufficient number of votes to have the
matter submitted to the voters in that
town. Pleasant Prairie has large
number of saloons and the farmers be-
lieve that they need the license money.

Chairman craney Of the Board Of
Education, and Fire Chiefs.
ermann Inspect Buildings
FIND THAT PUPILS ARE SAFE
Report Shows That There Is No Chance
In Kenosha for Catastrophe
Like That Which Occurred
At Collinwood, Ohio.
(Rrom Fridays DailS.)

Aroused by the school fire tragedy
lat CollinWood, Ohio, the authorities of
the city Of Kenosha Thursday after
noon began an inspection of the schools
of Kenosha to make an effort to find
out if there was any possibility of the
tragedy being paralleled in the schools
Of Kenosha. The investigation was in
charge of Chief Of the Fire Department
Henry Isermann and w. j. Craney,
President of the Board of Education
and they have made formal report
IN which they state that the schools
in Kenosha are in excellent condition
and that the children have been proper
ly trained in the fire drills
Chief Isermann stated when inter
viewed that it would be a better plan
to have the heating systems of the
schools in separate building but he
stated that he considered all the build
lngs in Kenosha as safe as it was posi-
bic to make them without the additional
building for the heating plant. The
report Of the investigation is as fol
lows.
MIR. Editor:-
Feeling that the holocaust at Collin
wood, O., called for some assurance to
patrons Of the Kenosha schools as to
the condition Of their safety.
We, the undersigned, on Thursday
visited the Balm, Frank, Deming, Dur
kee, and Central Schools. We would
have visited the Weiskopf and the Gil
lett this morning but as there is no school
today, it was postponed until Monday.
At the Balm 465 passed out Of the
building in IA minutes; at the Frank
235 pupils in 2114 minutes; at the Dem
ing we did not have a fire drill as it
was recess and the pupils seeing us
there would be somewhat prepared. At
the Durkee the 400 pupils were all out
side of the building in ~ minutes !;
and the Central 700 pupils passed out
in p minutes. We feel that Principal
Hooking of the Central is entitled to
special recognition for the arrangement
Of his fire drill. With the precautions
he has taken, such a catastrophe as re
ported from Collinwood could not occur.
We found few minor matters that
need correction in The buildings One
is fn outlet to the basement room at
the Deming that we are now using for
a school room with door opening in
ward. This will be remedied immedi-
ately.
We take pleasure in assuring the pat
rons Of our schools their safety against
fire.
Respectfully yours,
Henry A. Isermann,
Chief Fire Department.

The action of the council in annex
ing territory from the towns of Pleas
ant Prairie and Somers in plenty of
time for the property owners therein to
get chance to pay taxes the next as
sessment, but not in time for them to
vote at the next election when those
who will help make the taxes are elect
ed looks a good deal like .taxation
without representation, but there is
nothing for them to do but stand it.
The benefits such as city water, etc.,
that the people in the annexed territory
will receive will probably compensate
them for the loss of their votes at the
coming election but they might as Well
have had both the votes and the bene-
hts. They will have a chance to get
square at some future election for the
way they have been treated however
as most OF them know who is responsi
BILE for the cheap political play made ia
their case and they will remember It.

Milk Shippers About Here Fear
Loss Of Profits From Chicago
Reduction in Prices
CREAMERIES MAY GET MILK

The action Of Chicago milk dealers in
cutting the price of the Tactical fluid
to seven cents a quart is causing con-
sternation among the milk shippers in
this section of the state as it is be-
ieved that the reduction of the price
IN Chicago will sound the death knell
to the high prices that have been re-
ceived for the product at all the sta
tions along the north shore and that
before the next day for payment of
milk bills rolls round, the Chicago Job
bers will reduce the wholesale price
materially. The dairymen have been
reaping golden harvest during the past
few months and the business has prov
ed more renuneratiye than in any
former period, but the people Of Chi
cage have refused to stand for the
great increase in the price of milk and
the managers Of the milk trust have
found it necessary to either cut the
price or go out of business. It is GER
tain that the cut in the Chicago price
will be the result of a cut in prices
paid to local men. Nearly all Of the
milk from Kenosha county dairies is
now being shipped into Chicago. The
price of cream has also been reduced
in Chicago and similar reduction is ex-
pected by the shippers.
The proprietors Of creameries in the
county are rejoicing over the reduction
of prices as they now believe that they
will have 70 more trouble in securing
milk to keep their plants in operation
at a reasonable rate. For months the
creameries have had hard time to Sc
cure milk enough to keep the larger
places in operation and the creameries
have been forced to import butter from
other counties to supply the demand in
Kenosha county. Farmers have hauled
themilk right past the creameries and
shipped it to Chicago in order to get
the higher price for it, but it is now
thought that the farmers will prefer
the shorter haul and that the milk will
be left at the Kenosha county cream
cries.
AS yet the milk dealers have not been
notified Of the reduction in the whole
sale price for milk, but it is said that
a new rate will go into effect about the
10Th Of this month.

OLD MAN A SUICIDE
A Former Resident of Kenosha
Kills Himself at Racine juno
ton While Out of Work
He TOOK TROUGH ON RATS

Martin Donoyski, formerly a resident
Of Kenosha and Hungarian by birth,
committed suicide in Lakeside Friday
by taking rough on rats. Donoyski
had worked in Kenosha the latter part
Of last summer but with the closing
down Of the factories here he returned
to Lakeside and since that time he had
not been seen at any Of his old haunts
In Kenosha. The man had been out of
work ever since he left Kenosha and
had used every cent Of money he had
before he decided to end it all by com
hitting suicide. Just before noon Fri
day he asked the woman in charge
Of the boarding house where he had
been living to make him a cup Of coffee
claiming that he was suffering from a
slight illness. The woman prepared the
coffee and carried it to Donoyski' s
room and a few minutes later she was
called to the room by signs of a strug-
gle. The woman found the empty box
which had contained rough on rats and
1t was evident that the man had
emptled the entire contents of the box
into the cup of coffee. There was suf-
ficient poison to have killed a hundred
persons It properly administered. Doc
tors were hurriedly called to the house
but when they arrived they found the
man beyond medical aid The deceased
was sixty three years of age. He is
survived by one son who resides in
bohemia. His wife came with him to
this country many years ago and she
is buried in Mound Cemetery in Ra
cine The Coroner Of Racine county
decided that an inquest was unnecessary
under the circumstances.

The address Of Judge Gary from the
bench at the time of the trial Of the
Haymarket rioters in Chicago gives a
clear idea of the standing Of the anar-
chist before the law. He said:
"The people Of this country love
their institutions. They love their
homes. They love their property. They
will never consent that by violence and
murder those institutions shall be
broken down, their homes despoiled and
their property destroyed. And the peo-
pie are strong enough to protect and
sustain their institutions and to punish
all offenders against their laws and
those who threaten danger to civil So
ciety, if the law is enforced, are lead
ing to destruction whoever may attempt
to execute such threats.
''The existing order of society can
be changed only by the will Of the
majority. Each man has the full right
to entertain and advocate, by speech
and print, such opinions as suit him
self, and the great body of the people
will usually care little what he says;
but if he proposes murder as a means
of enforcing them he puts his own life
at stake and no clamor about free
speech or evils to be cured or wrongs
to be redressed will shield him from
the consequences Of his crime. His
liberty is not license to destroy. The
liberation that he enjoys he must ex-
tend to others, and not arrogantly as
sumo that the great majority are
wrong and may rightly be coerced- by
terror or removed by dynamite. "

The federal authorities have decided
that the proper way to deal with the
professed anarchists is to deport them
and the people expect prompt and
vigorous measures on the part Of the
government officials. This is a title for
action not for splitting hairs over
technicalities. If the remedy for the
present intolerable situation lies in the
strict enforcement Of those sections of
the immigration laws which provide for
the deportation of undesirable aliens
who by their words or acts have shown
that they should never have been adj
mitted to this country then these laws
should be applied with all the power
Of the government. The people do not
look for any halfway measures on the
part Of their representatives. This is
a case where delays are dangerous if
there ever was one and there is a very
general demand that there be none of
the laws delay in meeting it.

GETS WRIT OF ERROR
Supreme Court of the State Issues Writ
Which Will Save Gillotti from Prison

Which Will Save Gillotti from Prison
(From Fridays Daily.)
It is pretty certain that Charles Gil
lotti, the Italian convicted on a charge
of robbery in the Circuit Court, will not
go to the State prison at this time, as
early this morning Clerk of the Circuit
Court Frank Waldo received commune
cation from the Supreme Court of the
State enclosing writ Of error in the
cases of the State VS.. Gillotti, Cappello
and Catuso. This writ will serve as a
stay of sentence in the case providing
the men are able to furnish the bonds
demanded by the court. The bond of
Gillotti was fixed at three thousand dol
lars pending the hearing of the motion
in arrest of judgment and for new
trial and the attorneys for Gillotti will
ask that it be left at che same sum
pending the argument Of the case in
the Supreme Court. 1t is expected the
court will fix the bond some time to-
day Gillotti, Cappello and Catuso are
all in Jail, and it is not thought that
Cappello and Catuso will be able to
give bail and it is expected that they
will be taken to prison within the next
two or three days.

There is going to be some hit or miss
voting at the coming city election when
the law which requires each name on
the ticket to be voted for separately
is to be tried for the first time in Keno
sha Under this new law it will no
longer be possible to vote for a whole
party ticket by simply pulling one
lever and it is going to be a difficult
matter to teach some Of the voters to
pull all the levers opposite all the
names in the party column. Straight
party votes are going to be few and
far between and that is one of the
principal things that the trainers Of the
law were evidently aiming at. They
wished to do away as far as possible
with partisanship in municipal elections.
The labors OF politicians in ''swing-
ing the vote will also be largely in
creased. Any candidate who is making
fight to control the foreign vote, for
instance, will hardly dare now to take
chances on helping out any of the other
men on the ticket with him but will
have to content himself with teaching
the voters he Grounds upo the location
OF his lever on the machine and nothing
else. Each mans campaigning will
count for him alone in most cases and
1t will be every man for himself to a
greater extent than it has ever been
before, but the law will make the voters
do some thinking and that is it's main
object. The new law will inevitably
have the effect of making the men
whose names come first on the lists run
away ahead of the rest of their ticket
but the winners of the minor officers
whose names are far down the columns
will have the satisfaction of knowing
that they were elected by the more in
telligent voters who knew enough to
choose for themselves. Imagine if you
can some of our recently enfranchised
foreign born citizens picking out full
ticket from the long lists of names be-
fore them on the machinel

Waukegan people bitterly resent the
action Of the railway company in making
that city way station and no wonder
There was an awful kick some time ago
when the railway first ran one train
through Waukegan without stopping,
but now that there are four trains that
never. even hesitate the Waukegan peo-
pie do not propose to stand it any
longer and they are looking for some
kind Of a club with which to coerce the
railway people. The one thing that
all the north shore cities need is an
other railroad and if there was even a
prospect of one several little differences
between the road and these cities would
be adjusted in short order.

what water he uses at exactly the same
rate that is charged everybody else.

The careful inspection Of all Of the
schools of the city by the Chief of the
Fire Department and the President Of
the Board of Education should do much
to allay the very natural nervousness

in Ohio. Fire drills are being held in
every school in the city at frequent in
tervals and everything possible is be,
ing done to prepare for the emergency
that we all pray may never come.

In connection with the case Of the
insane patient who died in che Of the
northern hospitals and Of whose death
no report had ever been made to her
relatives in this county it would be just
as we'll to ascertain for a certainty that
the county has not been paying for
her board since she died. 1t is very
peculiar that no report of the death of
this patient was ever received and that
the matter was never brought to the
attention Of the officials of this county
Until after they had rendered the rela-
tives Of the patient a bill for her sup
port.

A drop all along the line in the prices
of food stuffs is long overdue.

There is no particular trick about
reading gas or electric meter and any
student Of the High School could easily
learn to read these meters in five
minutes. There is no particular advan-
tage in teaching them to read the meters
however except to enable them to check
up the figuring Of the bills and the
trouble with gas bill is seldom in the
figuring.
