SUBMIT DEMANDS
Board of Control Ask County Board
to Take Action in Regard to Jail

County Clerk Jones Saturday re-
ceived a letter from L. B. Dresser of
Lacrosse, president of the State Board
of Control, containing the report of
DR.. Almah B. Frisby in regard to the
kenosha county Jail and asking that
the County Board act at its coming ses
sions to carry out all the recommends
tions made in the report. The report
follows:
'"The jai, has cage with fifteen
small cells (5ft.x7ft.) There are on an
average seventeen or eighteen prisoners
in the jail and some times there are
twenty seven or nearly twice as many
prisoners as there are cells. The city
should build a police station and re
lieve the over crowded condition of the
Jail.
''Inis is one Of the darkest jails in
the state. 1t should either have more
windows or the existing ones enlarged.
"The Jail is out of date in it's ar
rangements, in that it affords no OPP
portunity for the classification of pri-
soners. This should be remedied by ex-
tending the, floor of the upper tier of
cells out to the walls and placing the
stairway outside Of the cell room, So
there will be no communication be-
tween prisoners in the upper and lower
tiers of cells.

WILL LOSE CHARTERS
Old Kenosha Lighting Companies
Make no Effort To Hold Rights
GraOtsd by the State
LONG SINCE OUT or BUSINESS

Ehe report of the secretary Of state
in regard to the observance of the law
in regard to filing reports Of corpora
tions indicates that Kenosha corpora
tions have lived up to the law with
but three exceptions and these com
panies are to be given three months
in which to make the necessary report.
If the report is not made by the first
of December the charters of the com
panies will be revoked by the state
with the opening Of the new year.
The three companies in danger of los
ing their charters are the Kenosha Gas,
Electric Lnsnt and Fuel Company, The
Richter-Pofahl Baking Company and
the Citizens Gas Light and Coke Com
pany. All Of the companies named
are defunct companies and there is no
doubt but that the charters Will be
revoked as no reports will be fled
The Citizens Gas Light and Coke Com
pany and the Kanosha Gas, Electric
Light and lel company were former
Kenosha Companies which have now
been merged into the corporation
known as the Kenosha Gas and Elec-
trio Company The old companies held
charters from the state which were re-
garded as valuable, but these powers
have all been taken over by the new
holding company and the officials of
this company will allow the old com
panies to be stihed by the state law.
The Richer-PofahI Company had a
rather turbulent career of a few years
and it is now out Of business and it is
not probable that the officers of the
company will make any effort to hold a
state charter for it.
The Kenosha corporations showed
little inclination to obey this law when
it was first placed or the statute books
and at the end of the first year there
were more than a score Of corporations
in Kenosha reported delinquent. Since
that time many of these have been
eliminated ana this year every active
corporation in the city filed the proper
retarn with the secretary Of state.
The reports referred to are statistical
reports showing the number of men
employed ard the wages earned during
the year. The reports are used to
make up other reports on which legisla-
ton in regard to the worlingmen Of the
state is to be worked out. The law
which was passed by a Republican leg
islature and which is being strictly en-
forced by Republican state officials has
proved to be one Of the most helpful
laws ever passed in Wisconsin and it is
aiding materially in lettering the con-
dition of the laborers of the city and
state.

Ben Spraner and W. T. Spraner, both
Chicago men, but the former proper
ty owner in Kenosha, are in trouble
with the game warden IN an unusual
manner. Both Of the men have secured
resident hunting licenses from the
County Clerk and Warden Kleist who
is out in the town of Salem, has di-
rested the sheriff to keep them under
surveillance until he comes to Keno
sha late this afternoon. The men
secured the licenses through applica-
lions made before John r. Scherer in
the Town Of Wheatland and Spraner
declared that he thought that the fact
that he had property in the county
even if lie we're resident Of Chicago,
made him eligible for resident License.
Besides this fact the Spraner Broth
ers claim that they were not asked to
swear to the affidavit by the Wheatland
official It is not known what will be
done in the matter, but the Spraner
Brothers are ordered to be at the jail
