TO NAME TICKET
SociaI Democrats of the State Will
Gather in Milwaukee and Sc
Iect State Candidates
REFERENDUM OF The PARTY

The state convention Of the Social
Democratic party will be held in Mil
waukee on June 13 and IA. These
dates were decided upon by the state
executive board yesterday and commit
tees were appointed to arrange for the
convention
Sessions may be held in Freie Ge-
meinde hall, although the question of
la meeting place was left to the Mil
waukee county central committee. The
convention will nominate a state ticket
to be ratified by referendum vote. A
hall will be obtained where meals can
be served delegates without leaving Che
place.
Basis Of representation will be one
delegate for every branch, who will be
the delegate-at-large, and one delegate
for every 100 votes in that branch.
While the party has gained, it is not
expected that the increase in delegates
will be commensurate with the growth of
the party since many members outside
OF the city are farmers and will not be
able to attend because of farm work.
Carl D. Thompson, Frederick Brock
hansen and e. FL. Thomas of Milwau-
kee, were appointed committee to ar
range the convention program. In adj
dition to nominating state ticket, a
platform will be adopted and changes
may be made in the constitution.
The general committee in charge of
the seventh annual state celebration
to be held in Pabst park Milwaukee, on
July II, organized at it's first meeting
yesterday morning at headquarters.
Weekly meetings will be held every
Sunday morning. It was voted to ask
the railroads for reduced rates.

WAS SERIOUSLY INJURED
Mrs. J. A. Winberg Falls From Porch
and wan Be Laid up for Months

Mrs. j. A. Winberg, wife of the well
known west side grocer, met with very
serious injuries at her home on West
street on Friday when she fell from a
porch to the ground twelve feet below
with such force that the bones in her
right ankle were crushed and broken
and the left ankle so badly sprained as
to render it impossible for her to use
it. Mrs. Winberg will be laid up for
many months as a result of the acct
dent.
The well known lady had gone to
the rear of the Winberg store on Pearl
street and was hanging some curtains on
moving clothes line. In order to
reach the line she had to stand on the
railing of the porch. One of the pull
leys holding the clothes line gave way
without any warning and Mrs. Winberg
holding onto the broken line plunged
down to the ground twelve feet below.
She was carried into her home and DR..
Jorgensen called to attend her. She
suffered great pain on Friday evening,
but her condition is improved this morn
ing.

MRS. RASMUSSEN GETS DIVORCE
Woman Scalded by Husband Granted a
Decree by Circuit Court Friday

Mrs. Christiane Dorothea Rasmussen,
the Pleasant Prairie woman who with
her children was scalded by her hus-
band Christian Rasmussen some weeks
ago, was granted an absolute divorce
from her husband in the Circuit Court
late Friday afternoon. In her com
plant against the husband she charged
him with cruel and inhumand treatment
and the incident where he scalded her
and the children was the only specific
incident referred to. Rasmussen was
in the county jail, but he did not ap-
pear to contest the suit and in fact
took no interest in it, The wife was
given the custody of the five minor
children. She did not ask for alimony
and no costs for the action were award
ed to her by the court. It is thought
that the trial Of Rasmussen on charge
of assaulting his wife and children will
be taken up in the Circuit Court during
the June term. It is now thought pos
sible that the wife will consent to ap-
pear against him.

DEFENDS HIS BID
Peter w. Galloway of Racine Gives
Facts in Regard to Pile Protection
From Saturdays Daily.)

From Saturdays Daily.)
Peter ". Galloway, is Racine con
tractor He is good contractor and
spends much of his time in building
breakwaters and putting in pile protee-
ton, but during the rainy weather when
| it has been impossible for Mr.. Galloway
| to work like all Racine men. he has put
his idle time to a good use and has de
veloped a sense of humor far beyond
that usually seen in Racine men, Mr..
| Galloway was one of the bidders for
the setting OF pile protection on the
| lake shore at the foot of Ohio and In
diana streets and when the bids were
opened at the last session of the city
Council it was found that his estimate
| of the cost of the work was the low
estimate and yet he did not get the
contract the matter being referred to
| the committee on Street Assessment
with power to act. Later it was alleg-
ed that there had been found evidences
of a combine, but when Mr.. Galloway
was in Kenosha this morning he denied
in no uncertain words the soft impeach-
ment made in this regard 81 have
never entered into a combine with any
contractor, = said Mr.. Galloway, but in
burst of confidence he continued that
he didn It mind making public the facts
in regard to the bids received at the
last meeting of the Council for the Ohio
and Indiana street protection Mr. Gal
loWay insisted that he had his machinery
on the ground and that the price that
he had quoted to the city was a very
! favorable one. But to return to his
statement in regard to the bids. Mr..
Galloway said: "You fellows down here
had insisted on two bids on city work
and as [ had the machinery here 1 went
to Cape and asked him to help me out
on the work and put in a bid Cape
told me at the time that he did not
want to do the work, but said that he
would put in bid. Later [ told him
that [ had bid $1S a foot and Cape
said he didn t care what [ bid that he
would prepare his bid [ brought his
bid down with mine and left both with
the City Clerk. Of course n0vices
| from Kenosha will see no evidence of
any combine in the statement made by
Mr.. Galloway and it is evident from this
statement that the contractors were bit
terly fighting each other for the honor
of building the Indiana and Ohio street
protection. This is the statement as
made by Mr.. Galloway and now it will
be interesting to see just how the city
Council will look at bids brought in
purely for the purpose of making COM
petition. Mr.. Galloway claims that
work he is now putting in for private
property owners has been bid in at a
little lower price but that the increase
to the city was due to the fact that the
water is deeper where the piling will
Fave to be put in for the city. He in
sists that in the most advantageous
times for contracting the best price ever
quoted for this kind of work was over
$l3 foot.

.PROX LOSES FIGHT
Young Fitzgerald Gets Question
able Decision Over Kid
Prox Thursday Night
REFEREE HUSTLES FROM HALL

Young Fitzgerald Of Milwaukee, got
the decision over Kid Prox of Chicago,
at the monthly show of the Kenosha
Athletic club on Thursday evening and
it is thought that Herman Sharpe, who
refereed the bout got out of town with
out being assaulted, but it is not very
probable that he will referee another
bout in Kenosha until the men who are
now looking for him have cooled off,
The bout between Fitzgerald, who
had once fought draw with Johnny
~Coulon, and the Chicago lad was decid-
edly tame, but as it was, the great pro-
portion Of the crowd about the ringside
were firmly convinced that Prox had
struck about two blows for every one
struck by Fitzgerald, but Sharpe who
halls from Milwaukee had the handling
of the fight and he gave the decision to
his fellow townsman. At the conclusion
of the fight people jumped into the ring
and Sharpe was threatened with assault
but prominent members of the club
went to his aid and he managed to get
out of the building without being as
saulted. Some Of the men who stood up
for the decision were not so fortunate.
The bout was one of those bouts in
which no one is hurt. While it went
eight rounds, neither of the boys show
ed any signs Of the milling and to any
one it was evident that draw would
have been the worst that Prox could
expect. However Fitzgerald is looking
for some big game and defeat at this
time would have been a hard blow for
his manager and it was evident that he
did not come to Kenosha with any idea
Of losing to P1ox.
A crowd of 200 people witnessed the
fights and it is pretty certain that ninety
per cent of the crowd would have given
the fight to Prox notwithstanding the
fact that many Of them had their money
on the other boy.
The preliminaries were as tame as the
main bout. Young Dougherty and Jer-
Try Nelson of Milwaukee, had loving
match for six rounds which the referee
considerably called draw. Willie
Sullivan of Chicago showed some real
speed in the next bout and made Joe
Burns of Milwaukee look so nearly like
thirty cents in three minutes of fight
ing that the referee reluctantly saved
Burns by calling the fight off. Jimmy
Devine who also hailed from Milwaukee
had shade the best in tame go with
Eddie Nearing Of Chicago and he got
, the decision at the end of the sixth
round. 1t is not thought that the fact
that he was from Milwaukee hurt him
!, any with the referee, but he won his
victory fairly at that.
