FRANK WHITE DEAD NEED A STATE FLAG
Resolution Adopted by Legislature
in 1863 Prescribing State
Emblem To Be Revived
STATE OFFICIALS ARE TO ACT

The attention of some of the state
officials has been called to the fact that
although the legislature in 1868 pre-
scrlbed state flag Of Wisconsin, it has
never been seen on exhibition, and an
examination of the archives of the state
fails to bring one forth. The search
was oceasioned on the suggestion by
some one that Wisconsin should display
the flag of the state at the inaugural
ceremonies, Jan. 4. In some quarters
this question occassioned surprise, for
many who had been long in the service
of the state had never heard of such
a thing, to say nothing about having
seen oneD1 One man had investigated
some. 5.81ssfs 5
Back in the old laws of the state is
found a1resolution passed by the legis-
lature and approved by the governor
March IS, 1868, which designs the fol
lowing as the flag of Wisconsin:
ITO be of dark blue silk, with the
arms of the state Of Wisconsin painted
or embroidered in silk on the diverse
side, and the arms Of the United States,
as prescribed in paragraph 1895 Of new
army regulations, painted or embroi-
dered in silk on the reverse side; the
name of the regiment, when used as a
regimental flag, to be in a scroll be-
meath the state arms. -
It was ordained by chapter 1877, laws
of Wisconsin for 1907, that "The or
ganization, armament and discipline of
the Wiconsin National guard shall be
the same as that which is now, or may
hereafter be prescribed for the regular
and volunteer armies of the United
States. Consequently the state flag is
now as provided in the United States
army regulations for 19O4-the colors
to be of blue silk, feet inches fly
and 4 feet 4 inches on the pike, which
shall be feet long, including spread
head and ferrule.
State officials will make an effort TO
get one of these flags made and de-
signed to be used by, the state on all
public occasions of any Importance.

Little Daughter Of August Erop
Made Seriously Ill by Eating
Samples of Pills
DANGER TURKS IN SAMPLES

J A little daughter Of Gustav Krop,
residing at 182 Newell street is Just
recovering from a severe attack of
poisoning due from eating a number
of sugar coated pills which were
thrown on the porch of the Krop home
and on other porches in the neighbor
hood and DR.. Munro who attended the
child states that she had very mar
row escape from death. Some men ad-
vertising some sort Of a patent medi-
cine have recently been working in
Kenosha and hundreds of samples Of
pills sent cut by the company have
been thrown in the yards and on
porches Of homes in that section of the
city. Some of these were picked up by
the little Krop girl and eaten. A
short time after she had eaten the pills
she became seriously Ill and when Dr.
Munro reached the house he found her
suffering from acute poisoning. A
stomach pumps with vigorous use was
necessary to save the life Of the little
girl
On account OF the narrow escape of
the little girl decided protest against
the circulation of such stuff about the
city is being made to the police and
an effort will be made to prevent these
, samples of patent medicine being
thrown at will about the city. For
years this had been done and in most
cases the people circulating xhem have
violated the ordinances of the city
against the circulation of advertising
matter, but they have been smooth
enough to get the work done and get
out of the city without being arrested.
The matter has been laid before the
police and the ordinance against the
circulation of advertising matter will
be strictly enforced against these peo-
pie.

10000 STAMPS TO BE SOLD
Kenosha Committee Still Has a Big
Task to Get Rid of the Stamps

The local committee in charge Of the
sale of the Red Cross Christmas
stickers still has eighteen thousand
stamps to dispose Of and it is the de-
sire of the committee that every stamp
be sold before ten O'Clock Thursday
night. There are at least ten thousand
people in Kenosha who have not as yet
bought single stamp and the commit
tee is now trying to reach these people
and to get the people who have already
bought stamps to increase their orders
Twelve thousand stamps were sold out
right OH Monday and Tuesday and
large number were put out on consign-
ment. Kenosha is now crowding every
city in the state for the first place in
it's class and if the people Of the city
will rally to the aid of the committee
in the closing days of the campaign,
Kenosha will not only distance Racine,
but will be the third city in the state
in the sale of the Red Cross stamps.
Give dime or a quarter to help stamp
out the white plague by buying a few
of the Christmas stamps. The central
distributing station is at the Hurd drug
store

Pioneer Carpenter and Builder OF
This City Died Suddenly
on Sunday Morning
LONG ARESIDENT OF KENOSHA
Came to This City From New York in
1843 and Had Since Been Con-
nected With the Building
Interests Of the City

Frank White, one of the pioneer car
penters and builders Of Kenosha and a
man known to almost every man, woman
and child in the city, died suddenly on
Sunday morning at his home on Park
avenue. Mr. White was within a few
days of ninety years Of age and death
resulted from general breaking down
/ of the vital faculties. He had been in
feeble health for the past five weeks
and had been confined to his home for
week past. However, he had been
able to be about the house Saturday.
His son Frank III. White had remained
with him until long after midnight and
death came a short time after he had
left for his home. Mr.. White had
shown no signs Of the approaching end
and when Mr. White left he was in the
care Of his nurse and seemed to be
sleeping soundly. It was the sleep
which knew no awakening for when the
nurse went to the room just before three
O'Clock she found that Mr., White was
| dead.
Francis White was native Of Rome,
Oneida County, New York, where he
! was born Dec. .23, 1918. He grew to
manhood in the, city of his birth and
came west in 1843 and settled in Ke-
nosha. He was one Of the early carpen-
tiers and builders of the city and took
part in the building Of many of Ke.
nosha $ great buildings. He took a
great interest in the welfare of the city,
but in the sixty-fye years that he had
been resident of the city he had never
sought a public office. He was one of
the first members of,the First Unitarian
church and had been active in the work
! Of the church up to a short time before
his death. Mr.. White was man of
cheerful disposition and even as one Of
the oldest residents of the city he made
many friends among the young resi-
dents Of the city. He is survived by
his widow who has been an invalid for
many years and one son Frank i'll.

He is also survived by two brothers,

Jersey.

Unknown Men Enter Miss Matte
French's Home and Attempt
To Enter [. H. HoIbrook's
POLICE SEEK CLUES IN VAIN
Men Managed to Get Away With Con-
siderable Booty at the French
Home But Were Frightened
Away by Mrs. Holbrook

Kenosba's burglars were out again on
Saturday evidently looking for little
Christmas money and they made a sue
cessful raid at the home of Miss Matte
French, 624 Prairie avenue and an un-
successful effort to enter the residence
of L. H. Holbrook at 500 Prairie
avenue. Themen managed to get away
from the home of Miss French with
booty valued at about fifty dollars, but
they were caught in the act of forcing
dence with a Jimmy" and were
frightened away by Mrs. Holbrook.
They ran west on Prairie avenue and
although the police office was at once
notified Of the crime and the officers
were on the watch all night they found
nothing of the men. Mrs. Holbrook
got good look at the fellows and gave
the officers good description Of them.
The men were young men and both well
dressed but Mrs. Holbrook was not
able to see their faces.
The burglary at, the French home was
committed about six o CLOCK IN the
evening, Miss French had lefta1her
home just after five O'Clock an@rwhen
she returned at eight she found the
house turned upside down and several
pieces Of valuable jewelry and silver
missing. The men had made their en-
trance into the house by forcing the
| front door with a chisel. There was no
one in the house to stop their ravages
and they I'D free rein. It was evident
that the two men were looking for some
thing that they could turn into money
and they took only the best silver in
}the house.
Several suspicious characters were
! seen about the French house during the
evening by pedestrians and as soon as
| the police were notified of the crime
they threw out a drag net but failed to
| find any suspicious characters loafng
about the city. It seems that the men
had been watching the French house
and had seen Miss French leave and
were aware of the fact that they could
work without molestation It is thought
that the men who went into the French
home were the same people who at
tempted to enter the Holbrook home
earlier in the evening.
:, The police are continuing their search
for the men today but they have nc
definite clues on which to work. 1t is
thought that the two burglars were Ke-
nosha boys and the same who have
been working at other places in the
city during the past few months. 1t
is thought by the police that these boys
have regular plan for working and
that it is possible that there are others
in the gang who watch for places where
people are not at home and give tip
for the robbery

Michigan Man Insists on Doing Some

Turnkey Shields of the county jail
had a unique caller on Monday after
noon when well dressed young man
little more than a boy appeared at the
Jail and asked to be locked up. He
declared that he was from Detroit,
Mich, and that in the past ten days
he had spent over $3.50 Shields in
formed him that he could not lock him
up without a commitment. The fellow
declared that he would go out and do
something to "break'' into jail, but
up to noon today he had not fallen into
the hands of the officials. The fellow
was well dressed and appeared to be
well educated and refined There is a
great bunch of Migrants coming into
the Jail just at present and six of them
are serving thirty days sentence.
Nearly every man in the tramp room
requests that he be locked up for
I" drunk" with the idea Of getting free
board and lodging for the next fifteen
days. It is getting to be hard prob
lem to take care Of these fellows and it
is probable that the officers will adopt
the plan of booting them out of town
instead of taking them to Justice
Court on charges Of vagrancy.
