FOREIGNERS M|SLED
Ignorant Aliens Told They Can.
not Vote at Coming Election
Without Second Papers
THINK VOTE WILL BE LIGHT

Republican candida IS for office have
been informed that the foreign voters
OF the city are being grossly misled in
regard to the qualifications for voting at
the coming primaries and general cleo
ton and 1T is stated that the story has
been circulated in all the foreigners
homes that only people having second
papers can vote at the primaries and at
the general election. Five foreigners
brought this story to Clerk of the Cir
cult Court Waldo on Wednesday and it
is claimed that the story was started
in Democratic circles. It is generally
known that the vast majority Of the
foreigners vote the straight Republican
ticket in the presidential elections and
it is, said that the Democracy finding
that it will be impossible for them to
swing this class Of voters into line for
their candidates have decided to play on
their ignorance and eliminate them en-
tirely. If the plan worked it would
result in the disfranchisment of humid
reds OF voters in Kenosha who would
Vote the hepuDl1can ticket.
The foreigners are usually pretty we'll
in line for the Democratic candidates
4 local elections, but it is claimed that
there is no ruse that the Democrats can
work that will get them to line up in
the National election. Some Of these
foreigners still remember the soup
houses which fourished under the recent
Democratic administrations and they
always associate soup houses and mo
work. with the Democratic National
ticket.
The Republican candidates have sent
put notice TO as many Of the foreigners
as they can reach that there is no
change in the law in regard to voting
and that the man with first papers has
just as much right to vote in the gen
eral and primary elections as he had to
vote at the recent city election.

TO REBUILD STATION
Government Finally Recognizes
the Demands Of the kenosha
Life Saving Crew
REGULAR INSPECTION HELD
Lieutenant Ballinger Announces THAT
the Government Will Start Work
Here in the Near Future
and Make Many Changes
REGULAR INSPECTION HELD

Wednesday afternoon occurred the
regular quarterly inspection of the life
saving service in this city, and quite q
crowd was attracted to the harbor to
witness the local crew go through the
various drills. Lieut.. Ballinger, inspec-
tor for the Twelfth Llfe Saving dis
trict, which consists Of all the crews on
Lake Michigan watched the drills and
maneuvers of the men in the river and
graded the crew on each.
Probably the most interesting, to the
sev eral hundred spectators that crowded
the two piers, was the capsizing drill
for which the large surf boat is used.
The men in response to an order from
Captain Fountain would rise on one side
of the boat and with the aid Of ropes
to obtain a greater leverage, they would.
throw the boat over, they falling into
the water. Then quickly running up
the sides Of the craft they would right
it and assume their places at the oars.
It was tame work for the crew yes
terday, In the smooth harbor, as they
lave capsized and righted their boat
many times out in the lake with large
seas running.
Drills with each boat in the station
were gone through, as was also the flag
drill. The work with the beach appara-
tus. consisting Of the mortar, the
breaches buoy, the life buoy and the
various other appliances used for saw
ing life was successfully gone through
by the crew very evidently to the sat
isfaction of the inspector.
Lieutenant Ballinger stated that the
crew made very creditable showing
and were as good as any in his district.
This inspection takes place three
times a year, the, coming of the inspec-
tor being always unexpected. therefore
the real worth Of the crews is always
made known.
During MS visit in Kencsha Lieuten-
ant Ballinger announced that the de-
partment had made arrangements for
great improvements in the Kenosha sta
ton during the coming fall and winter
and that Kenosha was one of the few
cities on the lake for which an appro-
priation had been made. The changes
will provide for many Improvements in
the station. The old building will not
be torn down, but it will be enlarged
and moved to the north fifty feet in
order to give more room for an extern
sion. The addition will be used as a
placed for storing the motor boat. It
is also planned to erect a cottage on the
island near the station to be used as q
home for the officer in charge. It Is
not known just how soon this work
will be started, bat it is expected that
it will be completed during the closed
season so that the new building will
be ready for the occupancy Of the crew
at the opening Of the new season in
april Of next year.
Captain Fountain and his men are re.
joicing over the proposed changes in
the station and while they had hoped
that the department. would decide on
the erection Of an entirely new station
the plans as outlined Will prove a great
help to them in their work.

CHANGES IN RULES
Football Players TO Fave To Oh.
serve New Rules in Games
Played This Season
FORWARD PASS NOT POPULAR

Changes in the football rules this
season are not SO many as in previous
years, but they are important A
change in the forward pass rule which
Will likely have decided bearing on
the game has been made. When &
forward pass is legally touched only
the man Of the passer's side who first
touched it shall be entitled to recover
the bail until it is touched by an OPP
ponent.
If a forward pass is thus legally
touched by another player of the
passer's side before the ball is touch
ed by an opponent the ball shall go
to the opponents on the side where
it was Illegally touched.
This rule will make it more dan
gerous for the side in possession of
the ball to try for forward pass. If
man misses the ball it practically
means that the other side will get
the pigskin. The forward pass will
therefore probably not be used SO much
this season.
While the ball is in the air for a
forward pass, players on the defensive
side may not use their arms or hands
on opponents except to push them out of
the way in order to get the ball them
selves. Players Of the side making the
pass who are Ineligible to receive the
PASS may use their hands and arms as
in the case of players going down the
field under kick
Neither side may, however, "hold'
CT tackle" an opponent who has not
the ball. If the ball is illegally
touched outside Of these provisions
named the penalty shall be that the
ball will go to the opponents on the
spot where the pass was made.
Time will be taken out during the
enforcement of penalty for iDcom-
pleted pass. IF ball on a forward
pass or kick strikes the uprights or
the cross bar Of the goal posts the
ball shall be considered as having
crossed the goal line.
In case the ball accidentally strikes
an official the play shall be played
ever again. "A change which appears
to be somewhat uncalled for is the
lengthening Of the intermission be-
tween halves. The referee must mott
fly the teams three minutes before it's
expiration.
Five minutes after this notification
il either team has failed to appear
the ball shall be put in play as first
down by the offended side on the of
Tending sides thirty-yard line.
In order to render the rules and
penalties more consistent the rules
which govern the conduct Of players
and persons not in the game, which
in some instances differ from the gen
eral line, are made to read: Gloss of
fifteen yards, point to be gaineu and
number of downs to remain I'M
changed. Penalties for fouls may be
refused by the offended side except
penalties under the forward pass.
This, however, in cases where the
penalty includes disqualification, does
not save the player from being put
out Of the game. If a player bats the
ball forward his side loses the pigskin.
This comes under the jurisdiction Of
tic umpire and field judge. The field
judge also is the time keeper in place
!. of the herd linesman. The score Of q
forfeited game shall be | to 0. This
distinguishes it from all other possible
scores.

TO OBSERVE DAY
Gov. Davidson Issues Proclamation to
be Needed by Capital and Labor

Gov. Davidson Issues Proclamation to
be Needed by Capital and Labor
Gov. Davidson yesterday issued the
following proclamation designing Sept.
Z as Labor Day:
By authority of law, I James O.
Davidson, governor Of Wisconsin, here
by designate Monday, Sept. 7, as La
Dor day.
Labor is the creator Of wealth
Without labor capital would be unem-
ployed and useless. When combined in
friendly cooperation, labor and capital
make for the greatest human happiness
and the broadcast and highest civiliza-
ton. What is needed at this time is
a spirit of justice on the part of cap1-
talists and laborers and a knowledge
OF the dependence Of each upon the
other. Harmony, and not hostility.
should mark their union, and both
should regard the interests of consul
n'ers, who finally bear labor's burdens
and furnish to capital it's profits.
That the day may be properly OBJ
served, and that the motive which
prompted that industrial institutions
generally suspend operations and that,
SO far as possible, employers and en-
ployes alike join in the celebration of
Labor Day.
In testimony whereof, I have here
unto set my hand and caused the great
seal Of the State Of Wisconsin to be
affixed. Done at the capitol in the
City Of Madison, this twentieth day
/ Of August, in the year of Our Lord
One Thousand Nine Hundred and
Eight.

GENE MURPHY
 IS IN TOWN

MT. E. A. Murphy, formerly P. c. steamship agent at this city and now manager of the Klondike Mines rail, way, is spending few days here after an absence of a year and half. He is awaiting a boat for the south. Mir. Murphy says he notes with pleas ure great changes for the better in skagway. He has many friends here and no minute of his time is empty.
 Mir. Murphy says Dawson is all to the good this year over last or any of several years past. Very many more men are at work on outlying creeks, Stewart river, the Black Hills and at Granville on lower Dominion. There were 50 men at Black Hills last year; thIs year there will be 25O. On Quartz creek there were 200 last year; this year the active miners will number 300. And so 1t goes over the whole Klondike and nearby cOun- try. One can easily note the effect on the streets of Dawson. Politics, says Mir Murphy, are getting very lively in there. He thinks Robert Lowe will be the man that scores, however.
 MT. Murphy says he will journey east and possibly his business will call him to London before he gets back in March. The Klondike Mines road will reopen for business May 1.
