Three-Day Holiday.

The suggestion that the wage
Garner be granted three day va
cation at Christmas. owing to the
fact Christmas falls on Friday this
year, deserves commentator and
encouragement, and is worthy of
emulation.
From the mere fact alone that
the day after Christmas is very
dull is incentive enough to permit
the idea being carried out. Be-
sides some of the boys or girls
might want to take Il trip to the
country to see the old folks and
perhaps make them happy by their
sudden advent into their midst,
and as quite a number of the
clerks would have to work late

TO NAME LEADERS
Republican Members of STATE leg
islature Will Hold Caucus
Early in January
FACTIONS FIGHT FOR CONTROL

1t has been practically decided by
the chairman of the Republican state
central committee, E. A. Edmonds and
the caucus committee of the senate
that the Republican senate and assem-
bly, caucuses shall be held in Madison
on the evening of the second Tuesday
in January.
At these caucuses the Republicans
nominations will be made for the SEN
ate and assembly offices. At the sen
ate caucus there will also be chosen
the members of the senate committees
these committees being always Sc
lected by the senators themselves,
committee being appointed by the
causus to make up the assignments
after the senators have submitted their
desire in writing to the caucus as to
the committees on which they shall
serve. 1t is understood the joint Seq
islative caucus to ballot for Repub-
ican senatorial nominee will be held
on the third Monday in January.
The assembly committees are made
up by the speaker of the assembly
and So of course, cannot be arranged
until after the selection of speaker is
made. This will not be until the day
following the Republican caucus
Both the friends of Senator La FOX
lette and his opponents are making
very strong efforts to control the SER

side with which Senator 5amea
of the Richland county alligns HIM
self. So far as can be learned, NJ.
James has made no public announce
ment yet as to which side will be
given his allegiance Both sides claim
to expect his support
The opposition of Senator La Fol
lette claims to hope to controi the
Republican caucus with support OF
at least fifteen of the twenty-eTghE
senators entitled to a seat iH tbs
caucus, while the La Toilette people
say that, with Senator James, they
will have the support of at least four
teen votes and that they also conf

Probably as far as the senate organ

mittee will hold the hearings on the

7. H. English, Loca! Meat Dealer
for Many Years, Turns Bust
ness Over to Creditors
CHICAGO FIRM TAKES ALL
Two Bills of Sale for Property Given
Monday Afternoon Liabilities
Are Said to be $500 With
Assets Of Less Than $500
(From Tuesdays Daily


Considerable surprise was caused in
mercantile circles in Kenosha this
morning by the announcement that
Thomas H. English, one Of the oldest
meat dealers in the city had failed in
business and had turned his personal
property over to Schwarzschild and
Sulzberger, the largest creditors. No
intimation Of the failure of the market
had been given out and the first that
the patrons knew of it was when they
found the partially dismantled mar
ket closed this morning. There was no
notice on the door to tell the reason
for the close of the place. The bill of
sale to the Chicago company was made
just before six CLOCK Monday evening
and it covered all the equipment Of the
market as well as such meats as were
on hand when the voluntary transfer
was made by Mr.. English. The consid-
Grafton of the bill of sale was $500.
One of the peculiar circumstances Of
the transfer was the fact that earlier
in the city Mr. English had made a
sale Of practically the same property
to his brother E. J. English, who is
named as one of the creditors. This
bill Of sale was filed with the city
clerk just after noon on Monday and
so far as can be learned the property
was not transferred back to Mr.. Eng
lish before the second bill of sale was
made. A representative Of the Chica-
90 company at once took charge of the
property after the bill of sale had been
made and the removal of the fixtures
had been started late last night when
Attorney r. v baker stopped the
movement of the fixtures on account of
the fact that he HAD a claim for one
of the other creditors Other credi
tors came to Kenosha this morning and
several meetings were held, but it is
not probable that any steps will be
taken to carry the matter in the bank
ruptcy courts as it is claimed that the
assets are not large enough to warrant
such an action. The Schwarzschild
and Su1zberger company had claim of
nearly 81, 100 which had been carried
for several years and it is certain that
all the assets will not satisfy more
than one-fourth Of this claim Other
wholesale meat dealers have small
claims against the market and there
are. small claims in Kenosha, but it is
said that the total liabilities outside
Of the claims of E. J. English will not
amount to more than ST 800.
T. H. English has been in business
in Kenosha for more than twelve years
and was widely known among the peo-
pie of the city. For many years he
was the proprietor of the West Side
Market which was considered one of
the best paying businesses in the city,
but less than a year ago he removed
to room on Market Square and since
that time it is said that there has been
a. marked falling off in the business.
None of the creditors in Kenosha to-
day showed any desire to take the mat
ter into court and a portion Of the
equipment of the market has already
been removed. The value Of the equip
ment is placed at about $3.50.

MRS. CLOPE MAY SUE
Attorneys From Racine Seek Transcript
of Evidence of Clope Inquest


Attorneys from Racine were in Ke-
nosha today seeking to get full tran
script of the evidence in the coroner s
inquest over the remains supposed to
be those of Frank Clope, found on the
Riley farm south of Kenosha many
weeks ago. AS yet none of the insur-
ance companies has settled with the
Clope family and it is possible that
Mrs. Clope will bring suit in an effort
to collect the $4,000 insurance carried
by the husband. The burden of the
proof will be upon the relatives of
Clope as the insurance companies have
announced that they are ready to pay
the policies just as soon as proof of
the death of Clope is filed with the
head officials. The evidence given be-
lore the coroner at the inquest which
was continued over many days, failed
to establish the. identity of the man
supposed to have been Clope, but many
incidents led to the belief that the re-
mains found were those Of the missing
Racine man.
