Andrew Collins III at County Jail
May Be Suffering From an
Attack Of Diphtheria
OTHER PRISONERS IN DANCER
Man Has Been in the Jail For the Past
Three Weeks and Has Mingled
With Other Prisoners
Need of City Lookup
(From Fridays Daily.)

Prisoners at the county jail are hav-
ing the scare Of their lives as it is
thought possible that the fourteen men
now confined in the county bastile have
been exposed to the dread disease of
diphtheria and it may be necessary to
qlaraCtine the jail Andrew Collins, a
man who has been serving thirty day
sentence i'll the jail after conviction on
a charge of petit larceny is suffering
from very severe sore throat and the
symptoms seem to indicate that the man
is suffering from diphtheria. DR.. j. R.
Eastman is attending the man and he is
not as yet certain that the man has the
diphtheria and the case is being closely
watched
Attic present time there are fourteen
prisoners in the Jail and most of these
have been mingling with Collins for
several weeks. In addition to this
nearly score Of prisoners have been
in the Jail since Collins was taken i'll
and if he has the diphtheria all O: these
men have been exposed to the disease.
This is the first time that suspicion
of quarantine has been laid up against
the county Jail and the problem is a
rather interesting one for the sheriff and
the other county officials. If it is
found that Collins has the diphtheria
in even a light form it will be impos-
sible for any more prisoners to be re-
ceived in the Jail as the sheriff would
not be Above dto receive prisoners and
deliberately expose them to this disease
There is no other place in Kenosha for
the reception of either state or city
prisoners and the scare over the alleged
case Of diphtheria has emphasized the
need of a city lock up. At the time
the Central Engine house was rebuilt
1t was the plan of many, of the alder
men to have three cells placed in the
basement of the building for use as
emergency cells or for use for the keep
ing Of city prisoners arrested for minor
offenses. This plan was abandoned on
account of the cost, but it is thought
that the matter will again be taken up
by the aldermen and the cells ordered
built. It is thought that it would cost
in the neighborhood of a thousand dol
lars to install the three cells and an
other man would be needed to care for
the prisoners. Tt is claimed that the
city could save quite little money by
having such a lookup if some plan
could be found for the operation of a
comm:ssary without being forced to
have regular lookup kitchen. A large
proportion of the prisoners received at
the county Jail each day are city pri-
soners and these for the most part re-
main at the Jail only over night and
they could be cared for just as we'll
in smaller lock up. Most cities Of
the size of Kenosha have lookup in
connection with the city police station
and there is no reason why Kenosha
should not adopt the plan.

Board Thursday afternoon let con
tract to John Pinzger for the re-decora-
ton OF the county building and the
work will be started at once Every
room in the building will be re-decorat-
ed all of the walls being painted and
the woodwork cleaned and vanished
1t IS planned to have the present system
OF decorations carried out as far as
possible but the work will be done in
such manner as to make the building
present a more attractive appearance.
1t has been several years since the
building was decorated and some of the
rooms are in a frightful condition.
The work will cost 1925 and it is
planned to have it completed by the
first of May. Contracts were also let
yesterday for the installation of sani-
tary plumbing in the building and a
short time ago the building was fitted
throughout with electric lights. When
the committee completes its work the
appearance of the building will be great

DR.. j. B. DEVLIN DEAD
Former Kenosha Physician Died at Den
yer, Col, Friday Evening

DR.. j. B. Devlin, former Kenosha
physician and native of the town of
Bristol died at Denver, Col, Friday
evening after a short illness from
pneumonia. kilograms announcing the
death of DR.. Devlin came as a great
shock to his friends in this city as few
Of them had known of his illness. The
deceased was forty-eight years of age
and stood high in his profession. He
was born in the town of Bristol in this
county and while young man prac-
ticed medicine in Kenosha. Later he
went to Fond du Lac and twelve years
ago he went to Denver in search of
health. There he built up q large prac-
tice and at the time of his death he
was the best known member of the pro-
fession in Denver. He is survived by a
widow and two children.

SMALL PLANT SEEKS LOCATION
Johnson Slocum Company of Caro-, Mich.
Would Consider Locating in Kenosha

Mayor James German has received a
letter stating that the Johnson Slocum
Company now located at Caro-, Mich,
and engaged in the manufacture of
mainless horse collars, is seeking a To-
cation In some city within hundred
miles Of Chicago. It is said that the
company is particularly pleased with
the advantages of Kenosha. The com
pany has been organized for q number
of years and the annual output is said
to be large The pay roll of the year
just closed amounted to $4,000. The
company does not at this time employ
large number Of men, but the capital
stock of the company has recently been
enlarged from $4,000 to $4,000 and it
is said that all of the increase will be
put into manufacturing. The company
IS we'll rated but it is understood that
the managers will expect the citizens
IN any town where it locates to take
a portion of the stock which has just
been issued. This sort of proposition
has not appealed particularly to Keno
sha people in the past but it is possible
that the Johnson Slocum proposition is
worthy of more than passing notice.

MONEY INTO BANKS
Banks of Wisconsin in Prosper.
Gus Condition as Shown in
Recent Reports Issued
THE DEPOSITS ARE ACTIVE

A healthy financial condition is shown
in the state banks of Wisconsin by the
compilation of reports issued by Conn
missioner of Banking M. G. Bergh. The
eports were of the condition of business
at the close of Feb. IA and comparison
is made with the last report, on Dec. 3,
covering a period of substantially ten
weeks. While there is an apparent fall
ing off of $1,300,000 in the volume of
business on the books of the banks,
there is a real gain of small amount
when it is considered that by the ma
tionalization of the Merchants bank
of Watertown a volume of $800000 of
business was removed from the state
bank report to the national bank re-
port, and the further fact that nearly
$1,O00,000 of clearing house certificates
were taken up must be considered in
making the comparison.
The cash reserve has grown and is
now 2412 per cent. This is sign for
returning confidence and restoration of
business activity. Another significant
showing is that while deposits have not
greatly changed in the aggregate, the
haracter of deposits has changed. There
has been a large withdrawal Of certi-
fcates and tine deposits and CORES
pondingly large increase in the volume
of individual deposits subject to check,
showing that money that was taken out
Of checking accounts and placed on in
terest- bearing certificates has been re-
turned to business and is being used by
business men.
The report shows total resources of
1923, o47, 442, as against $124,323, 751, on
Dec. 3. Loans and discounts decreased
from So, 075,858 to $81, 1853, 065. Clear
ing house certificates outstanding Dec.
3, 1907, were $654.O97. On Feb. IA they
were only SIG.

WAVES EXAMINATION
Chris Rasmussen Who Scalded Wife and
Children Held tc Circuit Court
(From SATURDAYS Daily.l

(From Saturdays Daily)
Chris Rasmussen the Pleasant Prairie
farmer charged with scaldlng his wife
and children, was arraigned before
Justice Donahue this morning and
waived examination on the charges
against him and was held to the Cir
cult Court for trial, his bail being fixed
at $500. Rasmussen insisted that he
had no money and no friends and re-
turned to Jail. District Attorney Baker
seems to think that the man is mentally
upbalaneed and he is planning to make
a close investigation into the case be-
fore it comes up in the Circuit Court
for trial
Rasmussen is deeply penitent and
cried nearly all of the time that he was
in court this morning BE told the
court that he had been advised that the
were better ohis morning. The
case is an unusual one and it is posi-
bic that the trial will attract considera-
bic attention.

OPERATORS IN DEMAND
Men and Women Who Can Push Key
In Telegraph Offices Can Get Jobs

Telegraph operators are in demand
and any man or woman able to receive
and send messages will have no Difficult
ty in obtaining employment either as
operator IN the division Office of a rail
way company or at some station along
the line as the nine hour law limiting
the working day of railroad telegraph
ers and dlspatchers is now in effect and
there is scarcity of operators.
Perhaps the most important effect of
the new law will be a wide extension
of the Block system. The general in
stallation OF the block system will re-
quire vast outlay of capital, but will
be justified in the yearly saving in
perators salaries. Vice President Will
lard Of the Burlington testified before
the interstate commerce commission
that the new law will increase the paw
rolls OF the railroads of the country by
nearly $10,00OO0O.
Inc same amount spent for automa-
tic block signals or for the extension
Of the telegraphic block under existing
conditions would add greatly to the
safety Of the travelling public and to
the general efficiency Of the railroad, -
declared Mr.. Willard.
The general managers of railroads
have settled down to a strict observance
of the provisions of the new law and
declare that this will be the policy
henceforth. The final adjustment of
conditions caused by the new law may
mean That several thousand small tele-
graph stations will be closed and the
operators shifted TO the more important
stations 1t will also mean that thous-
ands of additional telegraphers will be
taken into service and the roads will
have an additional aggregate expendi-
ture on this score of nearly $1O,000,0 900.
The Northwestern road has employed
200 additional telegraphers, although
$50 stations have been closed and their
operators transferred tC all-day-all
night stations, where three men will be
required instead of two, as formerly.

SETTLED OUT OF COURT
Suits Brought by Italians Who Struck
Live Wire Settled Without Trial

There will be three less suits to try
at the coming March tern. of the Cir
cult Court as Thursday Judge Belden
issued an order dismissing the suits of
Michael Angelo Tollina, Giuvanna Bull
era and Vincenzo Jllo against the Keno
sha Home Telephone Company and the
Kenosha Gas and Electric Company.
The men demanded heavy damages for
injuries which they met many months
ago when they came into contract with
a live wire which was hanging in a
tree on York street. None of the men
was very seriously injured. The at
torneys interested in the case were not
disposed to give out the figure of the
settlement but it is reported that all
of the cases were settled for lump
sum of about $500.

SHYs AT BOND
Surety Company Does Not Furnish
Bond for Release of Charles Gillotti

The attorneys of Charles Gillotti
have met with another disappointment
as Attorney Stewart announced this
morning that it had been found impos-
sible to secure a surety company bond
on which to get the release of Gillotti-
The company appealed to insisted that
it did not deal in this kind of risks and
the attorneys had conference this
morning in an effort to find some new
bond which would be approved by Judge
Belden. In the meantime Emanuel
Cappello has informed Sheriff Pfennig
that he wants to go to the state prison
and begin his sentence as he figures
that he is simply losing time by remain
ing in the Kenosha county Jail. It is
possible that the attorneys will waive
the right OF holding Cappello in jail
here and that he will be taken to Wau-
pun the first of next week but elliott
will probably remain in Kenosha until
the Supreme Court has rendered some
decision.
