MUST PAY POLICIES
Life insurance Companies Are
Hit by the Decision Of
the Supreme Court
WILL PROTECT HOLDERS


Life insurance companies, when ac-
cepting the premium on policies, be-
come liable for the face of the policy.
This is the gist Of the Supreme Court
decision in the Corbett case, appealed
from the sheboygan county courts in
which Judge Kirwan gave decision
holding the company for the policy.
The case is one of wide interest to
policy holders and insurance companies
and established a ruling that will no
doubt be recognized by the courts in
the future.
The defense Of the action, which was
brought by Mrs. Hattie Corbett Of Ply
mouth to recover $4,000 from the Phys
cicians' Casualty company for the death
of her husband who was killed in run
away accident, was that company had
no license to operate in Wisconsin and
that the policy was therefore void. 1t
was shown that the company was a new
one, with 1886 members and the Corbett
claim was the first death claim made
against it. Corbett, it was shown, had
mailed check for the premium on his
policy, two days before his injury in
the runaway and the check was not
cashed until after the company had
been advised of his injury. DR.. Cor
belts policy was dated Aug. %, 1905,
and two assessments had been collected
from him in fine rn7icv
Under the decision of Circuit Court
and upheld by the Supreme Court the
insurance company must pay the policy
Of $4,000 with interest from date Of the
death of DR.. Corbett.

City Clerk Harrington Appeals to
Attorney General Regarding
Voting Straight Tickets
MACHINE MAN FAvORS PLAN
S. G. Hamilton Representing Voting
Machine Company Says Straight
Ticket With Option To
Split is Right

The old time honored straight ticket
will probably be voted at the coming
city election in Kenosha as S. G. Hamil-
ton the Wisconsin representative of the
United States Voting Machine Company
is in kenosha today armed with decie
sions from the Supreme Court of several
states to uphold the plan of voting the
straight ticket by machine. City Clerk
Harrington has received a copy of the
decision of City Attorney John T. Kelly
of Milwaukee holding in favor of the
straight party ticket, but notwithstand-
ing this fact he has written to the At
torney General of the state this morn
ing to secure an opinion from him in re-
gard to the plan to be followed. Under
the law as passed by the last legislature
it is claimed that the straight ballot
is barred.
City Attorney Harrington has also
asked for an opinion from Attorney
John C. Slater, city attorney of Keno
sha and it is understood that when all
is said and done, Kenosha will follow
the opinion of Attorney Slater.
In speaking Of the matter this morn
ing City Clerk Harrington said, elf we
are he'd to the law that the voter must
pull lever for each man on the ticket
at the city election it will be impossible
to poll the vote in some of the wards
Of the city on election day Take
the third ward as All example.
This ward has voters enough now
to keep the machines working
from the time the polls are open
ed until after closing time and if it
were not possible for some of these to
vote q straight party ticket it would be
q physical impossibility to get in the
vote. The same conditions prevail in
other wards and it is thought that there
are few wards in the city where it
would be possible to get in the vote on
this plan
Mr.. Hamilton in speaking Of the mat
ter said, 81 am meeting with lots of
trouble in Ill parts of the state as
result Of the law, but it seems to me
to be only common sense to set the ma
chine SO that the voter can vote the
sraight ticket if he wants to with the
added option of splitting the ticket,
Under the rule which has always been
followed, the machine has in no way de-
MED to voters the widest possible dis
elimination in splitting the ticket and
that is preserved for them by the
straight ticket lever with the privilege
of splitting.
Mr. Hamilton stated that in Mllwau-
kee the officials had decided to follow
this plan regardless of the decision of
the attorney general of the state and it
is thought that Kenosha, Racine and
other cities in this part of the state will
follow the decision of the Milwaukee
officials

FRANK MITCHELL DEAD
Former Well Known Bicycle Rider Dies
At the Kenosha Hospital

Frank Mitchell formerly widely
known throughout this section of the
country as a bicycle rider died at the
Kenosha hospital late Monday after
noon after two weeks illness from
heart disease. The deceased was ma
tive Of Winnebago county but came to
Kenosha with the Chicago Kenosha
Hosiery Works more than fifteen years
ago and had since been resident here.
He was thirty -four years of age and
unmarried. He was one of the best and
.speediest riders in this section Of the
country and won many trophies in the
old road racing days. The relatives of
Mitchell who reside at Rockford, Ill,
have been notified of his death and ar
rangements for the funeral will be made

PAY VOTERS BOARD
Candidates for Nomination at
Primary Alleged To Be TAX
ing Care ofFloatingVote
NATURALIZATION LIST GROWS

Some little stir in political circles in
Kenosha was caused this morning by the
report of colonization of voters and
while it is claimed that only a few
voters are being colonized in this way,
it is said that there are enough to con
troll the result Of the primaries in some
of the wards.
There are at present many unemploy
ed men in the city and some Of these
are strong partisans and the candidates
to whom they are bound by bonds of
party are making every effort to keep
them in Kenosha until after election.
These men are seeking work in other
cities and it is claimed that in order to
keep them from leaving until after the
primary the candidates have agreed to
pay their board for the last weekof the
campaign. 1t is certain that some of
the boarding houses and hotels in wards
where there are strong contests are bet
ter filed than at any other time in the
year and it is just possible that the
work Of colonization in this manner
will become more extensive in the
wards during the last past ten days.
For some time the Kenosha politicians
have not dallied with this form Of poll
tics but have been satisfied with che
naturalization of aliens. This year the
usual number of aliens are being natur-
allied, but the credit system has been
abolished and it is impossible to tell
who is paying for the naturalization
papers. In most cases the men have
paid cash when they got their first
papers and in every case they have de-
tlared thai they are making a petition
for naturalization without idea of the
political fight now on.
All Of the candidates for the nominal
ton for mayor on both tie Republican
and Democratic ticket insist that they
are not seeking to make voters, but
chat they are using every possible means.
to get out the regular voters of the city.
It is expected however that the clerk
of the court will be kept pretty busy
during the coming week in issuing
papers and as the Circuit Court is in
session it will be necessary for him to
employ a deputy to take charge Of this
work. :

The new ency clical from the pope re-
garding changes in the marriage laws,
which was recently issued, will be ef-
feetive in all the churches of the Mil

Marriage of Catholics by civil mag
istrates will be null and void after
Easter.
Engagements to be binding must be
written and signed in the presence of
two or more witnesses. Private be-
trothals between Catholics after Easter
effect no matrimonial obligation IN the
eyes of the church Fallen away Catho-
lies, whether they become protestants or
infdels, are bound by these laws.
Bishops after assuming office can per-
form marriage ceremonies only in their
own diocese.
Priests after assuming Office can mar
ry only in their own parishes.
Marriages will be invalid unless the
consent of both parties is asked and
received by a witness of the ceremony.

were two witnesses beside the priest or
bishop.

parish Of the bride except for reason.

taxpayers Are Forced To Give Up
S923.42 as Result Of Pol
itiCaI Street Cleaning
1876 MEN SHARE IN SPOILS
Political Street Cleaners Throng the
City Hall This Morning to See
That the City Makes Good
For Their Labors

Have you paid your taxes9 If you
haven't hurry for if this street clean
ing frenzy which is alleged TO be MAX
ing voters for one of the Democratic
candidates for the mayorality nomina-
tion keep up until after the primary the
city will need money and need it
badly.
General Mcconnell came to the coun-
Gil Monday night to ask pay for his
army Of soldiers and the demand for
"bread" was so strong that it was de-
cided to pay the men off at this cine.
1t is possible that they can be kept in
line until after the votes are cast at
the primary and they are thronging the
city hall this morning clamoring for the
pittance which is to be doled out to
them.
The records of the street commissions
er were presented to the council Mon
day night and the bills were promptly
ordered paid with as little debate as
possible, q little against the grain but
it went through all right and the money
is now rolling out. AS has been re-
marked before it is being found a very
convenient way to pay campaign bills.
The total amount demanded for street
work from March to March 16 was
$923.42. Most Of this amount was spent
on the south side of the city since last
Wednesday afternoon. In fact the
record shows that i'll that time there
were 81 men at work under General
Mcconnell
1t would be an interesting thing to
publish the names OF the men at work,
but it would as well be an impossibihty
as some of the names are of a nature
not to inspire confidence and it might
be detriment to the candidacy of some
of the distinguished citizens who are
working hard to answer the call of a
grateful people to remain in Office for
an indefinite period.
The amounts that were paid to the
men varied from 500 which went to
James H. O'Brien for teaming to $50
which went to one man by the name
of Fareno It is possible that this man
is a foreigner, but the name as it APP
pears on the pay roll is not in the city
directory. The other men received
varying amounts. $193 was one of the
favorites while the higher class work
men seemed to get about the figures
$4.38 with startling regularity Then
there were lot of them who were let
down easy with $175, these probably
representing workmen who didn It need
bread quite so bad There is still an
other large class who received 1926,
while some of the others managed to
raise the amount to $5.43. A few of
the decidedly high class ones got into
the tax papers for 1913, while Others
went as high as $2100. It should be
said however that these men were the
regular workers and that the amount
represented their labor for full two
weeks at a wage of $1.75 a day. (.
Mayor German is expected to place
his sanction on the orders for the
street workers this afternoon and as
soon as possible the men will be paid
off.
It is claimed that most of the men
have been discharged by General Nc
Connell but there is still a goodIy mum
Der Of them at work on the streets.

VIII boys wear jackets short, or tie
Their hair in queues Just how
They'll really look, I'd like to know
A hundred years from now.
What do you think the girls and boys

Will they be fed on breakfast foods
In many sorts Of ways?
viii all the good and tasty things
Be worse for them than rice?
VIII Ice cream soda make them sick.
