peaters" voted in platoons, with the
connivance of willingly unseeing
judges and clerks of election, and
fraud, rampant to an extent hitherto
unknown in a, city never famous for
the purity of its political atmosphere,
rendered the resultant party nomina-
lions morally worthless.
These and other startling allega-
lions are made in the report of the
speciaf grand jury, which, after sew
,sgal weeks of delving into charges
growing out Of Chicagos first prima-
ries and returning sixty-one indict-
ments against, two-score or more of
atid others, adjourned.

Prince is in the hands of the revolu-
tionists. General Antoine Simon, the
leader Of the insurgents, is marching
up the peninsula with an army OF o.
900, and a new president. General Lee
gitime has ben proclaimed.
At the last moment President Alexis
yielded to the urging Of those about
the French warship Thousands had
gathered at the palace early in the
day, and they had surged around the
entrances threatening to tear down
the walls to drive out the president
and his loyal followers, and heaping
curses on the head Of the aged man.
So serious was the situation that
the French minister, M. Carteron, and
other foreign representatives, togeth-
er with members OF a specially APP
pointed committee, forced Themselves
upon the president, who finally con-.
sented to withdraw. Shouts greeted
him as he stepped form the palace
and into carriage which had been
provided. WY
M. Carteron, carrying the Trench
tri-color, sat beside him and threw the,
colors Of the flag over the. shoulders
Of the deposed president to protect
him.
All along the route the people
shouted, jeered and cursed at the fallen
president, but when the landing stage
was Eeached the mob lost all restraint.
Infatuated women broke through the
Gordon Of troops and shrieked the
coarsest insults into the face Of the
president, who strove bravely to app
pear undismayed.
They tried to hurl themselves upon
Alexis, and fought with hands and feet

American Warships in the harbor fired

One of the leaders charged that the
American minister, H. w. Furniss was
encouraging the president to- resist,
and he isrued the following proclama-
ton:
"Citizens: The danger is supreme;
we risk our independence If we do not
take good care. The old man would
have given up already were it, not for
the advice Of diplomat who is pre-
pairing for our annexation. A clash is
expected, and this diplomat wishef+to
precipitate one in order to have a
pretext for colonizing us. Let us,
therefore, be. docile,. yet not supine"

Are Reviewed by Admiral Caps in
His Annual Report.

Washington D. C.-The annual re-
port of Admiral w L. Capps, chief
contractor of the navy, is very largely
devoted to a review of the navy over
the. plans of the battleships North Da-
kota and Delaware. Admiral Capps
disposes of various phases of criti-
cisms that have been made of the
plans by declaring that the recommen-
dations for congress made by the
Newport conference related only to
minor details over which there nat
urally would be differences of opinion

AdmiraLsCa refers to the lack of
adequate working facilities at many of
the navy yards for ships under repair,
and says this condition continues to
embarrass. the bureau and prevent the
prompt and economical performance
of work.

Funeral Of Little italian Child Held
U0der the Police Guard
on Sunday Afternoon
QUARANTINE LAWS VIOLATED
Italians Throng Home Where Child Had
Died From Diphtheria and Health
Officer Sends Police officer to
Be Guard at Funeral

For the first time in it's history
Kenosha had funeral under police
guard on Sunday this precaution being
made necessary on account of the
wanton violation of quarantine laws
at a house in the Italian quarter on
Grover street and it is feared thai even
with this precaution on the part Of the
health Office many Italians in that
section of the city have been exposed
to the disease of diphtheria. The funer-
al was held at the home Of Joseph
Viii whose little daughter Adeline VIII
two years Of age, died from the dread
disease on Saturday night just after
midnight The child had been i'll with
diphtheria for several days and the
home had been properly quarantined
so far as the health officer was con-
aerned However the Italian friends
of the bereaved family seemed to be
entirely ignorant Of the disease which
had caused the death Of the child and
after the little girl died they thronged
she house. No report Of the death of
the child was made until after eight
o'clock Sunday morning and by that
time rhe house had been filed with
Italians, many of them neighbors of the
Viii family and many of them having
children in their own homes. Arrange
ments were made for a public funeral
OF the child but when it was found that
it had died from diphtheria, the health
officer was hurriedly notified Of the man
ner in which the quarantine had been
violated and he hurriedly sent an of
fcer to the house with orders, to remain
there until after the funeral was over.
The funeral was held on Sunday af-
ternoon and at that time a great crowd
of Italians gathered outside Of The
house. One Of the Italians societies
turned out in body and the police
officer IN charge of the work had his
hands full to keep the people from en-
tering the house. The little child s
body was finally taken out and buried
at st. James Cemetery.
So many people were in the house
just after the death of the little girl
that it is feared that unless stringent
measures are taken the death of the
child may result in an epidemic Of the
disease among the Italian children in
that part of the city. The child was
suffering from the disease in a most
virulent form. Health Officer spalding
was investigating the case on Sunday
and it is possible that he will seek to
establish quarantine against the homes
of all Of the people who were exposed
to the disease.
This case shows the ignorance that
prevails among the foreigners of the
city in regard to the quarantine laws
and something will have to be done
to secure better enforcement of these
laws. 1t was alleged on Sunday that
similar cases have been discovered in
the past and that the only way that
the people can be kept from attending
such funerals is to hold them under the
guard of detachment of police.

NEED EMPLOYMENT OFFICE
Kenosha Ought to Have Regular Agency
For All Glasses


The need of an employment bureau in
this city even apart from that Of the
trades was never SO marked as at the
present time. 1t stands to reason that
when farmers are often times willing
to send to Chicago employment offices
for help, pay railroad fare and other
expenses, they would much prefer to
patronize an Office nearer home. At
this season of the year there is con-
siderable demand for farm help and al
SO numerous applicants. The need of a
common center where both the employer
and applicant may register is quite evil
dent. Through the courtesy of the AS
ISOLATION employment bureau many per-
sons unable to secure factory work have
been placed in other positions. This
has proved mutual benefit both to the
employer and the employed. But what
Will be the situation in time when help
is scarce9 The association office will
require all its applicants for the shops
and will need it's energies to the task
OF supplying the needs of it's members.
Thus 1t would seem that there is album
dant work for an employment Office to
supply the demands apart from those
OF the manufacturing industries.
