FEW BEING NATURALIzED
Less Than a Score of Foreigners Have
Sought First Papers in Order to Vote

The present campaign in Kenosha
county will go down on record for ore
feature at least and that is the alb
sence of naturalizing of foreigners just
before election. There have been less
than score Of aliens to seek first papers
during the past two weeks and there
is absolutely no activity shown along
these lines. The Democrats seem TO
be of the opinion that all of the for
eigners vote the Republican ticket at
the fall elections and for this reason
there has oeen no concerted movment
to get them in line for the elecllon
The Republicans claim that there
are no foreigners to seek first papers
on account Of the fact that all of them
were taken care of by the Democracy
at the recent city primary election. The
workers among the foreigners are keep
ing close tab on new corners and it is
claimed that there are at present less
than a hundred foreigners in the city
who have been here year and who
have not taken out their first papers.
The new law in regard to second
papers has had the effect of puzzling
the foreigners and for this reason many
have declined to seek even first papers

SMOKE COMES AGAIN

The city is again covered with
the smoke from the blazing forest
fires in Northern Wisconsin, the wind
from the north bringing the smoke
down late Sunday evening. 1t is even
possible to discern the ordor of the
burning pine trees in the air today,
and the blanket Of smoke seems to in
dictate that the fires are greater at this
time than a few weeks ago Grass
fires in Bristol and Salem have broken
out again and while no serious dam
age has been reported from them the
farmers have been kept very busy
fighting the flames The wind will
shift to the south during the day and
this will probably lift the smoke from
Kenosha.

DR.. Gorst, superintendent of the
Wisconsin State Hospital for the in
sane, has filed with the County Judge
bill against the estate Of Nels Christ
ensen, ,Somers man who was recently
sent to the state hospital at Mendoza
christensen was later deported to Den
mark on account of the fact that he
had been IN this country for less than
year when he was adjudged insane
At the time of his deportation he had
funds to the amount of little over a
hundred dollars in the First National
Bank and this is now in the hands of
the County Court. The Court will
probably award the amount claimed by
the state hospital as well as the ex-
penses of committing Christensen to
the asylum before the estate is set
tied. He has several relatives in Den.
mark who claim the estate.

him to the central emergency nos"

An examination revealed that Keyes
had been terribly beaten over the head
with some blunt instrument. Forum
ately his skull was not fractured ana
to this fact he owes his life.
Keyes, upon recovering consciousness
said he remembered being struck on
the head from behind, which felled him

TWENTY-SlX DOOMED IN ONE

RECORD FOR KILLING
Various Charges Preferred Against
Condemned Men-Newspapers Are

Maintained by Editors

BY Associated Press
ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 19.
Seven more sentences of death
were reported today, making the
total for one day, yesterday,
throughout the empire, twenty
six, and constituting sinister
record.
One sentence was signed at
Kharkov, two at Saratov, three
at Kiev, FIVE at Warsaw, FIVE at
Piusk and ten at Lodz.
The two men sentenced at Saratov
were former sailors attached to the
Black sea fleet, and had been found
guilty Of taking the lead in an at
tempt to pillage an estate.
The. three men at Kiev were found
guilty of attempting to murder Tor
ester; the five Warsaw men We're con-
yicted of robbery, accompanied by Vio-
lence. and the ten men at Lodz were
convicted for an armed attack ON
railroad train.
THE dispatches do not mention the
reasons for the Kharkov and Plusk
sentences.
Execute Many
There were two executions yesterday
at Warsaw one at Tif1is and several
at st. Petersburg.
The newspapers have ceased to pub
lish statistics of this kind, in order
to maintain their circulation in the
provincial cities, where the publica-
tion of death sentences is prohibited
This regulation does not apply TO
St. Petersburg or Moscow, but even
so. the papers--because of their out
of-town circulation-have eliminated
any reference to these matters.
A second unsuccessful attempt was
made last evening to assassinate the
chief of police of Pyataigorsk, M. Van
Oglious.
Three men emptied their revolvers
at the chief, but failed to hit him.
The police shot down one of the revo-
lutionists, the others e-caping.
A dispatch from Tcherdyn reports an
armed collision between the inhabit-
ants of two neighboring villages over
the ownership of a piece of disputed
land. Two men were killed and several
were seriously wounded. Ten of the
leaders were killed.
