TO HIGHER COURTS
Appeal to Supreme Court Taken
in Famous Yezick. Chicago
Brass Damage Suit
RAILWAY SUIT GOES UP TOO

The Supreme Court of the state is to
act on the suit of Peter Yezick VS.. The
Chicago Brass Company and the papers
in the suit were sent to- Madison this
morning to be entered for argument
at the next term of the Supreme Court.
Zezick was former employee Of the
company who had one Of his feet burn
ed with melted metal and he claimed
a permanent injury and demanded dam
ages to the amount of $4,000. The
suit was originally filed in the United
States Court, but later this was with
drawn and a suit filed in the Circuit
Court for Kenosha county. At the trial
of the case the court held in favor of
the defendant company.
1t is limited that there will be some
sensational developments in connection
with the appeal of the case to the Su-
preme Court and the attorneys for Ye-
zick and for the company are planning
for one of the biggest legal fights in
the history Of the courts of the state.
At the same time Clerk Frank Waldo
sent to Madison the files in the suit of
Patrick Haynes, Gustave Claussen and
Arthur Einstein against The Kenosha
Electric Railway Company, The Keno
sha Street Railway Company, B. J.
Arnold ct al and this case will probably
be taken up by the Supreme Court at
the same time as the Yezick case. The
bill of exception in the old railroad suit
was filed several days ago, but even
then the attorneys did not> believe that
the attorneys would complete the ap-
peal. The Circuit Court held that the
promoters had no claim against either
B. j. Arnold or either of the other de-
fendents named in the suit. This suit
has been in the courts for eight years
and it is thought that an effort will be
made to secure an early decision from
the Supreme Court in order that it may
be taken up for trial the first Of next
year if the decision of the lower court
is reversed

one of the most important duties of fts
stirred to get rid of worms ami fn-
sects, to kill and remove the weeds, Oh
thin the plants properly, to water il TIE

out shoots Of roses and other shrubs
and vines, to keep the lawn muSapG
and in proper condition, to cut out de8GF
and unsightly limbs from trees, a7E
this can be done in summer after sssB

the duties that fall to the lot of tEkg

Report of State Health Depart.
ment in Regardto Births and
Deaths Is Unusual
MARRIAGES IN THE COUNTY
Not Single Birth is Reported From
the Town of Randall While Only
One Couple WEEDS in Pleas
ant Prairie

There are some rather remarkable
facts shown in the report Of the Wis
consin State Health department for the
six months ending June l, which has
just been sent to the county treasurer
in order that the fees may be paid to
the doctors, midwives, ministers, JUS
tees and judges for the return of mar
riages, births, deaths and accidents and
the money will be paid as soon as the
treasurer is assured that the men are
properly registered under the new state
law The report shows that in the six
months there has been a total Of 497
births in the county, 224 deaths, 1876
marriages and 100 accidents.
The report contains the usual strange
figures and it is evident from the report
that the new state laws providing fees
for the reporting Of the births and
deaths has not been an incentive for
the doctors in the rural districts to
make returns. Just to show how the
law is overlooked, the town of Randall
has not reported a single birth during
the year and in all the towns the num-
Der Of births and deaths appears to be
very small in connection with the num-
Der reported in the city. The number
of births in the city was 1853, while the
total number in the county was but 495
and the same ratio was followed in re-
gard to deaths. Paris had but l MARI
age during the period and the same num-
Der was reported from Pleasant Prairie.
Of the 100 accidents reported 1O5 were
reported as happening in the city. All
but 80 of the marriages reported for the
half year were reported as performed
in the city. 1t is thought that some of
the rural reports were held up and not
filed with the town clerks in time to
be forwarded to the state department
to get into this report.
The following is the statement of
births, deaths, marriages and accidents
in the various towns of the county and
in the city for the period covered by
the report of the state department:

Petitions To Save Trees and Sc.
cure a Park on Market So.
Signed by Over 500
URGE PARK COMMISSION PLAN
People in All Parts of the City Add
Their Support to the Petitions
For Saving Trees and Beau
tifying the Square

The greatest interest is being taken
in the action of the Council on the two
petitions now on file with the city
clerk which demand that the trees of
the city be saved and that the Council
rescind it's action in regard to the i'm
provement of Market square so that
| the original plan can be carried out,
The petition in regard to the improve
ment of Market square asks that the
| Council carry out the original plan for
park way in the square with the eli
mination of walk through the center
of it. The petition has been signed by
$50 property owners and citizens of
the city. The petition has been signed
by many people who are directly in
terested in the Improvement as proper
ty owners on the square, but it is not
known whether or not the majority of
the frontage is represented ON the petit
| ton.
The petition for the trees is signed
| by a total of 663 property owners and
| they come from all parts of the city.
The petition is the most cosmopolitan
petition ever presented to the Council
and every nationality represented in the
city is represented on the petition. It
is not only signed by the wealthy peo-
pie of the city, but it is notable fact
that the greater number of the signers
are small property owners. The petit
! ton reads as follows:
Whereas, under the present existing
ordinances of the city Of Kenosha, Ke-
nosha County, Wisconsin, new sidewalks
must be laid according to certain ar
bitrary lines as given by the city engi-
neer; and,
Whereas, the city engineer is not en-
powered, under the present existing or
dinances, to deviate in any manner from
the said lines, and;
Whereas, the following of the said
| lines as given by the city engineer de-
stroys many shade trees and requires
many shade trees to be cut down for
the purpose of laying the sidewalks as
aforesaid:
Now Therefore, we the undersigned,
property owners and citizens Of the
city Of Kenosha, do hereby petition
your honorable body that an ordinance
be passed authorizing or giving such
person or persons as may be delegated
by the city Council, reasonable discre-
ton to mark out the lines for all new
sidewalks in such a manner that the
laying of the sidewalks will not inter
fere with or cause to be cut down said
trees as aforesaid: providing that con-
sent of the owner of the property upon
which the sidewalk is to be laid be OBJ
tanned to such deviation of said line.

NEW WARRANT FOR sCHLEYER
Man Charged With Shooting Wife Now
Charged With Shooting II. Koehler

Martin Schleyer who has been in jail
for many weeks awaiting trial on a
charge of assaulting his wife with a
deadly weapon with intent to murder
was arrested again this afternoon on a
warrant issued on the complaint Of Her
man Koehler charging him with a SINH
lar offense. It was thought that Koehle1
would not file charges against Schleyer
until after the complaint of his wife
had been disposed of. Schleyer it will
be remembered shot Mrs. Schleyer and
Herman Koehler at the Schleyer home
near the corner of Prairie and Rowland
avenues. Both of the victims Of the
shooting were in the hospital for weeks,
but both have recovered. The trial of
Schleyer on the charge of assaulting
his wife is to be taken up at the Sep
TENDER term of the Circuit Court.
Schleyer waived examination on the
new charges when arraigned and did
not even ask for the advice Of an attor-
ney. He was held for trial at the Sep
TENDER term Of the Circuit Court in
bonds of $6000 No attempt will be
made to furnish bonds as Schleyer
would have to raise $4,000 to- secure
his release.

Receivers for Traders Insurance
Co. Send Checks to Kenosha
Policy Holders Today
TO RECEIVE PART OF CLAIMS

Scores of people in Kenosha this
morning received letters from the State
bank of Chicago as receiver for the
Traders Insurance Company, enclosing
a check for dividend for the company
which went into the hands of a receiver
just after the San Francisco earth
quake The company had large num-
Der of policies in force in Kenosha and
it is evident from the letter sent out
by the receivers that only part of the
claims against the company will be
paid. In speaking of the settlement of
the affairs Of the company the receivers
say:
"There will be third, and we hope
to make that the final, dividend Just
what percentage it will be, it is diff
ficult at this time to state. The indi-
cations are that it will be about five
per cent, depending upon the amount
realized from the remaining assets,
which are to large extent of an I'M
certain nature, including a number of
claims against insurance companies also
in the hands of receivers, upon which
this estate has claims but up to this
time has not received any dividends.
"The payment of this third and final
dividend will necessarily be deferred
until all of the assets are reduced to
possession. The payment of dividends
in this estate to the large number of
claimants, over $4,000, entails considera-
bic expense, and so we aim to close the
estate with the third dividend There
fore some considerable time must e1apse
before it is paid, depending, as we have
said, upon reducing to cash the remain
ing assets"

GARDENING HEALTHFuL.

The Queen, an English periodical
remarks that there is scarcely. any
pursuit more calculated to produce
good feeling among every class than
that of horticulture Especially is tils
unity and sympathetic feeling partaknn
of by ladies who engage in it as a
pleasurable pastime." Every word Of
it is true, which makes a man proud
to be even on speaking terms with a
garden Anything that will make the
women dwell together In peace and
amity is worthy Of all praise One
reason for the good feeling is that gar
dening is healthful, and health and
good nature go together. Another req
son is that it is constructive, and th9x
which is constructive is unifying.

REQUIRE CHANGES IN LAW
Probate Judges Ask for More Consistent
Legislation Regarding the Insane

More consistent laws dealing with
insane persons are demanded by the
Wisconsin Association Of Probate
judges which, in meeting at Milwaukee
adopted resolutions outlining new leg
islation which will be asked Of the next
legislature. The association demands
proper hearing, a protest being raised
on the practice in several counties Of
having insanity examinations conducted
by the county physicians only.
The association demands amendment
to the law whereby persons unfortunate
enough to lose their minds shall not be
compelled to pay for their own care in
asylums if they happen to have proper
ty. The asylums, beng public institu-
tlons toward the support Of which all
taxpayers contribute, the judges feel
that it is double burden on a man to-
make special tax against his property
to cover cost of his keeping in an
asylum. twenty-five of the seventy
one county judges Of the state attend
ed the meeting.
