FELL onto HIGH POWER WIRE
Dead Man Was Said to be Acquainted
With Every Wire in the City and
Employers Can Not Understand
How the Accident Occurred

Emil G. Steimke, 81 years of age,
residing at the corner of Ridge and
Middle streets and city foreman of con-
struction for the Kenosha Home Tele-
phone Company met a tragic death
Thursday morning at 9 o'clock at the
corner Of Washington and Middle
street on Washington Island when he
came into contact with live wire car
rying current of 1900 volts Of cleo
tricity and was instantly killed.
Steimke was an expert in the wire
business and it was claimed that his
nine years of service in the employ Of
the telephone company had made him
acquainted with every wire in the city.
He had gone to the Island with Frank
Harrison, another employee Of the COM
pany to string a pair Of wires. He
was working on pole owned by the
company and standing on an arm which
had been placed there to carry two
wires of the Kenosha Gas and Electric
Company. Harrison was some dis
lance from the pole when the accident
occurred but it is supposed that Stein
he slipped and fell onto the wire car
rying the high power. Harrison heard
him shout for help and when he turned
round the man was hanging by his life
belt. Ladders were secured and the
body removed from the pole and for
more than an hour efforts were made
to resuscitate the dead man. The
body was not badly burned but there
was cruel, brown mark which showed
where the current had entered the body.
The remains were removed to the Han
sen morgue and Coroner Andre called
a jury which will hold an inquest this
afternoon.
Manager G. L. Miller of the telephone
company paid high tribute to the dead
lineman. "Steimke was one of the
best men in his trade in the state, :"
said Manager Miller, "and T am at a
loss to know how he met his death.
He knew every wire in the city of Ke-
nosha and he was one of the most care
full men in the business. He must
have slipped and fell onto the wire.'
Steimke came to Kenosha from Wat
ertown and was one of the most popu-
lar men ever employed at the telephone
office. At the Office his death caused
intense sorrow among the employees.
The dead man is survived by widow
and two small children. He also has
a brother living in Kenosha who is
employed as an installer by the tele-
phone company.

Uncle Sam is getting to be more
particular about his census reports
every time he orders the work per-
formed. The blanks he has furnished
for the enumerators to fill out are as
large as double page maps in old style
biographies. Many questions must be
answered. Here are a few applying
to persons: Name, nationality, sex, re-
lation, location, personal description,
nativity and place of birth, also of the
parents; citizenship, language, trade,
occupation, whether out of work on
April Is, 1910, time idle in 1909, edu-
cation, property owned, encountered or
not, whether blind deaf or dumb.
An enumeration will be paid 2 cents
a name. Two cents extra will be al
lowed for recording the names of blind
persons. This is supposed to be an
incentive to Indifferent enumerators to
be accurate.

HOLD EXAM|NAT IONS
Kenosha Men Will Have a
Chance to Get Place as
Census Enumerators
WILL ELIMINATE POLITICS

Several hundred people in the coun-
ties comprising the First Congressional
district will during the first part of
February take examinations for cen
sus enumerators. The examinations
will be held in the county seats of Ra-
cine, Kenosha, Green, Walworth, Rock
and Lafayette counties. All persons
who are American citizens are entitled
to take these examinations and can do
so by fling applications with D. Elmer
Roberts, supervisor Of census for this
district The persons receiving the
highest percentage at these examina-
tions, in the several districts, will be
appointed as enumerators regardless of
political utilization as it is the desire
OF the government to have only compe-
tent persons do the work of census
taking and which must be completed
in this district within thirty days.
In some of the districts of the First
Congressional district a large number
of applications have been received
while in other districts there have not
been sufficient applications to cover
the counties, but there is no question
but that there will be many applica-
tions from each district.
President Taft has issued instruc-
lions to all supervisors of census that
politics are to play no part in the CEN
sus taking.
The president unburdened himself in
this respect to eighty-fve supervisors
of the census in Washington a few
days ago. "I know, of course, that
many of you, most of you, have been
recommended by congressman, he
said, "and it may be that some of
those congressman will come to you
and expect that you owe them some
thing in the way Of selecting the men
as enumerators who will help them in
their congressional elections.
FYou have got to use sense and dis.
erection. You have got to select the
men that you think will do the work,
and if you catch them doing political
work, I wish you to remove them, just
as I will remove you if catch you do
ing political work. I am not quarrel
ing with the congressman. Each man
is looking for all the aid he can get
to get back into his place, and I am
not objecting to the efforts in that di7
rection. But you are the gentlemen
