Open Air Meetings Being Held in
Milwaukee In Great Fight
Against Consumption
REACH CONTESTED DISTRICTS

A hard blow was struck in Milwau-
kee last night against the white
plague. The Wisconsin Anti-Tuber-
culosis Association held its first open
air school ground mass meeting at the
corner of Madison and Second avenues,
one Of the regions in which an enor-
nous number of people are dying of
tuberculosis.
This is no long distance kid glove
fight. In carrying the battle into the
very front yards of the people who
arc, or under present conditions soon
will be- victims of the disease, the as
ISOLATION is making a fight for and in
the interest of individuals.
The lecture is made as interesting by
well worked out stereoptican pictures
as possible. While popular in nature
and intended to be of immediate and
practical benefit to every listener, the
special lecturer of the association, Har-
very Dee Brown, Phi. D., has the good
taste not to insult the intelligence of
his audience.
Starting out with an explanation of
just what the disease is, he explains
carefully how bad habits, poorly ven
tilated sleeping rooms and improper
working places must be held as con
sumption S allies. 1t was graphically
shown how one careless ignorant spit
ter could directly and indirectly be
responsible for the deaths of thousands
and thousands of innocent victims.
The startling statement was made
"that the consumptive who knowing
the danger Of promiscuous splitting, still
persisted in the vile and disgusting
habit, was murderer. That the
fight against tuberculosis is winning
fight was brought out by record Of
the Milwaukee Health Department,
which shows remarkable decrease in
the number of deaths since the cam
paign Of education was instituted FIVE
years ago.
Fully 1000 attened the lecture and
SO interested were they that most
stood throughout and waited in line
as long as hfteen minutes to receive
copies of the booklets and leaflets
which were distributed.

SALEM HAS AN INNING
Neighborhocd squabble in Salem occu-
pies attention of Municipal, Court

A neighborhood squabble in the vii
lage of Salem occupied the attention
of the Municipal Court and Judge Ran
dali and the other people about the
court room learned a lot about the
petty troubles of the town of Salem
The case incidentally brought to the
city many well known people of the
village who were summoned as wit
nesses in the case, but who fought shy
of taking any decided stand The
case was based on the arrest of Mrs.
Emily Stoeker, a we'll known young
woman of the village, on a charge of
using language toward Ida HartneH
which was of nature to provoke an
assault, but Mrs. Stocker and her
daughter were very pronounced in their
conviction that the witnesses were mis-
taken The case showed that there
is a bitter social war in the village
of Salem and it is probable that it will
be heard from again in the Circuit
Court in the way of civil action
for damages.
Mrs. Stocker was found guilty of
the charges against her and sentenced
to pay a fine of one dollar and the
costs Of the action. The fine was a
minor consideration as the costs
amounted to more than $57.

DEATH OF MISS IDA BECK
Night Operator for Telephone Co. Dies
az Hospital After Short Illness

Miss Ida Georgia Nelson Beck,
daughter of Mrs. Henry n. Beck and
well known in the city on account of
the fact that she was night operator
for the Kenosha Home. Telephone Com
pany, died at the Kenosha Hospital
late Wednesday afternoon after few
days illness. Death followed an opera
ton for ruptured blood vessel and
the case seems to be a puzzle to the
physicians who attended the young
woman during the last few days of her
life. Miss Beck was born in Kenosha
twenty years ago and spent her entire
life here. For some time she had been
employed as an operator by the tele-
phone company and her consideration
for the patrons of the company had
made her general favorite

Every man who has dollar invested

DecOmpoSed Remains of Leon Murray
Washed up at Zion City Thursday
The decomposed body of Leon Muir
ray, the eighteen year old fisherman
drowned at Zion City on July 18th .af-
ter the kenosha Life Saving Crew had
made gallant effort to save him.. was
found on the beach north of Zion City
Thursday afternoon. The body had
evidently been on the beach for at
least twenty-four hours and the hot
sun had completed the work of decom-
position started by the water. A rope
was tied about the body of the dead
man and it is now supposed that he
sought to save himself by tying him
self to the wrecked boat. The coroner
of Lake county was called to hold an

kenosha Man Elected President
OF the State Retail! Liquor
Dealers Association
FOR REGULATION OF PLACES
Kenosha Man Who Served as Acting
President is Unanimous Choice
of the Organization for New
Term-To Meet at Appleton

John Langan, one of the best known
saloon men of Kenosha, was elected
president of the Wisconsin State Re-
tail Liquor Dealers Association at the
closing business session of the annual
convention of the liquor dealers held
at Sheboygan late Thursday afternoon
Mr.. Langan had served in the capacity
of acting president of the association
since the death of G.. S. Snyder of La
Crosse several months ago and he was
the unanimous choice of the state or
ganization as its head official. The
election of Mr.. Langan Will result i'll
in the headquarters of the state asso.
citation being removed from Lacrosse
to Kenosha. M. n, Niesen was re-
elected as secretary and Carl Hartwig
of Manitowoc was reelected as treas,
urer. The next convention of the as,
ISOLATION will be held at Appleton next
year.
The members of the executive com.
mittee for the year will include J. P
Wetzel of Sheboygan, B. F. Cripple of
Merrill, A. Raessler of Appleton and
Garrett N. Dohlman of WATERFOWL.
The new president of the state as
ISOLATION has been active in the work
of the state organization since its for
nation and at the Kenosha convention
held year ago ne was elected to the
vice-presidency At that time he was
strongly urged Tor the office of presi
dent, but he declined to accept the
office declaring that he wanted to get
better acquainted with the workings
of the organization. The election of
Langan is victory for the members
of the association who favor rea-
sonable regulation Of the saloon bust
ness. President Langan has been very
active in the Kenosha association and
has been one of the men suggesting
blacklist of habitual drunkards as
well as other methods for lettering
the business. He was one of the men
sent by the association to Madison
during the recent sessions of the legis-
lature and in this way he became well
acquainted with the work that is being
done along the lines of regulating the
saloons of the state. He is said to be
in hearty accord with the legislation
proposed by the association during the
session of the legislature and there is
little doubt but that under his admin
istration as president of the state as
ISOLATION these laws will be again
urged before the special session of the
legislature.
Quite number of Kenosha liquor
dealers attended the meeting at She
boygan and most of them remained in
that city for the sessions Of the Exc
cutive Board which are being held this
afternoon. This evening the visiting
liquor dealers will be the guests of the
Sheboygan Association at banquet
after which the annual convention will
formally adjourn.

Madison, the head of the Wisconsin
national guard, thanking the Racine

WATCH CIGARETTE SALE
Supposed State League Representatives
Watch Sale Of Paper Pipes Here

Men said to be agents of the Wis,
consin Anti Cigarette League were in
Kenosha today looking into the alleged
sale of cigarettes in the city. The
men visited nearly all Of the tobacco
stores and many of the drug stores and
made an effort to purchase cigarettes,
but it is said that they did not secure
any of the paper pipes. It is claimed
that cigarettes are sold in the city, but
if such is the fact the dealers seem
to keep a close watch on their Gus
toners and the cigarettes are sold only
to people we'll known to them. There
has been no open sale of cigarettes in
the city since the present law went
into force.
