.ELKS co TO RACINE
Members of Kenosha Lodge
Attend the Dedication of
New Lodge Home
MANY GUESTS At Big BANQUET

The new home of the Racine Lodge
of Elks was dedicated with appropri-
ate ceremonies and a banquet on Sat-
urday afternoon and evening and a
number of the members Of the Keno
sha lodge went to Racine to take part
in the ceremonies and to be the guests
OF the Racine members of the order at
a banquet which marked the celebra-
tion of the opening of the new club
rooms. There were many distinguish
ed Elks present at the banquet and
they appeared as speakers in the post
prandial ceremonies.
The new Elks home in Racine is one
of the prettiest as well as one Of the
most commodious in the state. It oc-
cupies the two floors over the Mer-
chants Bank building in that city and
the members of the lodge have dec
GRATED and furnished it in a very
charming manner.
At the banquet on Saturday evening
covers were laid for more than a nund-
red guests and the dinner was served
by Strauss Of Milwaukee One Of
the features of the evening was the
music furnished by an orchestra and
during the dinner the members of the
order made merry by singing lot
of the old familiar songs and national
music.
Charles H. Everett, Exalted Ruler
Of the Racine Lodge acted as toast
master and Grand Exalted Ruler J. U.
Sammis of LeMars, Iowa, who was the
guest of honor, was given a great
greeting. Among the long list who re-
sponded to toasts were the Grand Ex-
allied Ruler; Everett Jennings, Past
Exalted Ruler Of jacksonville, KY,
Lodge; District Deputy William E.
Shielding of Racine; Exalted Ruler
Fred Sauter of Chicago; John NJ KEN
lor of Kenosha; Mortimer E, Walker
and Peter B. Nelson of Racine. w.
7. Marlatt, Exalted Ruler of the Ke-
nosha Lodge, responded to the eleven
O'Clock Toast.
The members of the Kenosha Lodge
returned home early Sunday morning
and they are loud in their praise of
the hospitality shown by the members
of the order in Racine.

GIVE COMPANY CHANCE FIRST
Accommodations for Passengers at Ke-
nosha Held to be Entirely Inadequ-
ate for the Business the Company
is Securing Out of the City.

Patrons of the Milwaukee, Racine
and Kenosha Electric Railway Com
pany are circulating petition which
will be sent to the managers of the
road and which demands that a prop
err station and waiting room be erected
at the terminal of the line in Kenosha.
The present station while kept in the
best possible manner is held to be en-
tirely inadequate to provide any COM
forts for the passengers and if the
managers of the company fail to see
the demand for the station complaint
will be filed with the railway commits
sion of the state to secure some action
in regard to the matter.
The present station is an old frame
upholstered structure and it is impos-
sible to keep it warm during the ex-
IRENE winter weather. Passengers
are packed into it like sardines in a
box while waiting for the belated
trains. The station is strange CON
trast to the stations erected by the
Chicago and Milwaukee line. In
many places the company owning the
M. R. and K. line has. erected suitable
accommodations for passengers, but
this company has spent little or moth
inn 70 do fop 4bo
sengers from Kenosha county, and at
all points except at the southern ter
minus of the line people are forced
to stand out in the open and wait for
the coming of the cars. At the pres
ent time nearly all Of the cars are
late and people are in danger of freez-
ing to death while waiting for their
coming. The people who use the cars
declare that the traffic of the line out
of Kenosha would warrant the erection
of a splendid brick station with prop
err accommodations for both ladies and
gentlemen.
This matter has been laid before the
managers of the company at former
time, but no attention has been paid
to the demand and it is certain that
the patrons of the line are sufficiently
stirred up that they will insist that
the matter be laid before the Wiscon-
sin Railway Commission. In several
parts of the state the commission has
forced the erection of waiting rooms
where the conditions were not nearly
so bad as they are in Kenosha. The
fact that the company has given up
the idea of getting a line into Keno
sha is all the more reason according
to the leaders of the movement that it
should erect suitable waiting room
at it's southern terminal

NO REWARD FOR sHERIFFS
Atty. General Gilbert Holds That He il
an ExOficio Game Warden

Attorney General F. L. Gilbert on
Saturday, in response to an inquiry
from State Game Warden Rickeman,
ruled that deputy sheriff is ex-oficio
a deputy state game warden and is not
entitled to special rewards for informa-
ton leading to the arrest and convic-
ton of violators of the state fish and
game laws.
Deputy Sheriff James Lee of Mon
roe county claimed and received $25
as a reward for arresting two viola
tors Of the fish and game laws and
they were later convicted before JUS
tice of the Peace Doxrud of Sparta,
and heavily fined. Information lead
ing to the arrest of the violators of the
law was really furnished by Martin
Ellefson, a farmer on whose land the
offense was committed.
The attorney general says that Lee
must return the money to the county
and the latter must settle with Ellef-
son if he has valid claim.

The city council is considering the
ACCESSIBILITY of hiring special man
for poormaster and the suggestion has
been that the charitable organizations
and the city combine and establish a
central bureau of charities with an ex-
pert in charge who shall have the sup
eryision of all disbursements made both
by the city and all organizations which
contribute funds for relief work. This
plan has much to recommend it and
if it could be worked out would I'M
doubtedly result in considerable saw
ing to the city and the societies. I'm
questionably much more could be ac-
compished with the present scale of ex-
penditure by systematizing this work
and making one man responsible for
results and another great consideration
in it's favor is that under this plan all
of the dependents would get their fair
share OF the money or supplies eontribut-
ed for their relief 1t is worth think
ing over The expenditures of the city
for the pauper account are increasing
by leaps and bounds and the work of
poormaster which has hitherto been per
formed by one of the aldermen is be-
coming 50 burdensome that none of the
members of the council care to assume
it without receiving extra compensa-
tion and SO long as the city must pay
a salary for having this work done it
would cost but little more to establish
central bureau to handle all of this
work for the whole city. An expert
in charity work would be able to save
a large percentage of his salary merely
by preventing waste.

CONFISCATE COAL
NJ. w. Ry. Takes Four Cars of Coal
Consigned to Latin Rand Co.

Following an alleged scarcity of
coal and alleged failure of the coal
companies to deliver the fuel to the
Northwestern road at Beach and Balm
where the road coal pockets are stu
ated, the Northwestern Monday to keep
its engines supplied with fuel and the
trains in operation on schedule time.
confscated outright four cars of steam
coal consigned, it is said to the Latin
Powder Mills at Pleasant Prairie.
1t is claimed that the right of the
road is to confscate coal for operation
purposes and the action is not with
out precedent as year ago twenty
car loads were confscated while every
time there is shortage threatening
the service it is said that the road
helps itself as it has the legal right in
order to serve the public and facilitate
transportation of freight.
No more was confscated today, but
it is said that more may be taken in
case the shipments are not made. The
scarcity of cars may have something to
do with delay in shipment of railroad
coal

TWO SHOTS FIRED
Revolver Shots in Second Ward
Stir up the People

People of the Second ward were con
siderably mystiied on Saturday night
between seven and eight o'clock on &C
count of the firing of two shots in
rapid succession. The shots seemed
have been. fred by a revolver and for
an hour telephones were kept busy in
an effort Ito find who was doing the
shooting but no report was made to
the police and the origin of the shots
still remains mystery. The officer
on the beat made an effort to find the
place where the shots were fired but
failed in his mission. It is thought
probable that some one in that neigh
borhood was trying revolver and that
this accounted for the shooting.

the belief that there has been too much
publicity in the Counselman case al
ready, but to most people lot of pub
icity or anything else that will pre-
vent a repetition of the peculiar per
formances which have taken place in
connection with this case seems a
mighty good thing. Perhaps the in
spector is little touchy on the sub
ject because the efficiency of the serv-
ice he represents is called into question
to a certain extent in connection with
this case This is one of the cases
which shows plainly the need of com
plete revision of the divorce laws and
the quickest way to secure a reform
in these laws is to make the general
public acquainted with some of the in
justices which can be put through
under the present methods Of pro-
cedure.

The matter of greetings at the tele-
phone has figured in various philoso-
phc disquisitions, to say nothing of
casual comment upon a thousand lips.
The loftiest flight which this inter
estng topic ever achieved, we believe,
was in late novel of very high life,
wherein the aristocratic millionaires
was represented as shuddering to the
very core of her refined being when
addressed over the telephone by the
vulgar "Hello!" We presume that
the untaught individual on the other
end should have opened proceedings
with "'Greetings' "Happy Days!'
4" May it please your loneliness, = or
some such piece of elegance. But to
the most of us "Hello!'' has been
good enough and indeed a sweet and
satisfying word.
Why is it then that the word is
slowly vanishing from the wires
Simply, because in this sordid age
when seconds are esteemed more high
ly than health or happiness-the eIimi-
nation of "Hello!" makes for speed.
AS an emolient, a lubricant and sap
onifer no criticism of the word has
been offered. There is something
about the hquidity of it's utterance
which combines a suhiciency of shout
with a maximum Of grace. Such pol
ished thoughts are of no avail with
the telephone directors, however. Save
in rare circumstances, no "THeIlo!'
is now allowed to cross a central S
hps.-N. Y. Evening Sun.

Those who are criticising the police
for not making an example of some
Of the roughs who have been forcing
their attentions on women and young
girls on the street would accomplish
more by using some Of their energy
in persuading the victims to appear in
court and give evidence against their
insulters. These are the most diff
ficult cases the police have to handle
on account of the reluctance of the vic
TINS to testify. Time and again the
police have made arrests and then have
been obliged to see the guilty parties
escape punishment because the COM
planning witness refused to testify. 1t
is easy enough to understand this re-
luctance to appear in court on the part
of the women for it is rather an ordeal
for man and perhaps the only way
to stop this practice Of annoying
women on the streets is for their male
relatives to take matters into their
own hands and deal with these cases
in their own way. Under the circum-
stances they will be forgiven for any
breaches of the peace which may follow.

PUT UP SIGN BOARDS
Chicago Automobile Club Helps Out the
Town Boards of Kenosha County

The Chicago Automobile Club is
helping out the town boards of Keno
sha county by putting up sign boards
along the roads in the county and al
ready these signs have been put up
along the Milwaukee road to the west
of Kenosha. The club has outlined
four routes out of Chicago on which
the sign boards will be put up during
the winter months and those in this
county are among the first to be put
up. It is the plan of the club to
ultimately put out boards to cover
every road used by the automobile
drivers of Chicago who run up into
Wisconsin. The boards are made of
iron and are put up in such manner
that they will be a permanent fixture
on the road.

If there are any people in the city
suffering from cold and hunger it IS
due to the lack of system in carrying
on relief work Kenosha is rich
enough and generous enough to take
care of all it's worthy poor if they will
only make their wants known but the
difficulty is that the worthy poor are
generally the last to make an appeal
for help.
