.F|REMEN MUST WAIT
kenosha Not Large Enough for
Firemen To Have Weekly Holt.
day Under the New Law
MAY ASK COUNCIL TO ACT
Members of Police and Fire Depart
ment Chafe Under the New Reg
ulations Claiming That They
are Too Stringent

Members of the Kenosha fire depart
ment are planning to ask Che members
of the City Council ana the Police and
Fire Commission to make arrange
ments to enforce the law which was
passed by the last legislature which
provides that the members of paid fire
departments in cities of the second
and third class in Wisconsin must
be permitted to have twentyfour
hours rest in each seven days.
The fremen seem to be con-
WINGED that the law is operative in
Kenosha, but the reading of the law
shows that the fremen here will have
to wait several years before they fall
under the state statute. The law
provides for the firemen in cities of the.
second and third class where a popula-
ton Of more than thirty thousand is
shown by the state census and Ke-
nosha will not fall into this list.
Under the 1905 state census Superior
is the only city in the stae in which
the law will be operative at this time.
However, the federal census will be
taken this year and it is expected
that this will show that the tiremen of
Racine, Lacrosse and possibly Madi-
son will be permitted to have the holt
day provided for by the law At the
present time the members of the Ke
nosha department are allowed one day
off in each thirteen
Some of the members of the Council
seem to be favorable to plan of
adopting the holiday system in Keno
sha regardless of the fact that Ke
nosha is under the population limit
and it is possible that the fremen viii
send petition to the Council asking
that some action be taken in the
matter. The strict Interpretation of
the law, however, would not put Ke-
nosha in the category of cities where
the weekly holiday is made mandatory
under the state law.
The rigid regulations recently pro
mulgated by the Police and Fire Com
mission in regard to the conduct Of
officers is not meeting with any great
reception among the members of the
two departments and some of the
members seem to be of the opinion
that the Commission is curtailing their
personal liberties more than is neces-
sary. It is claimed that under the
regulations a man could not drink
glass of beer with his dinner so long
as he is in uniform. It just posi-
BILE that the Commission will make
some slight changes in the regulations
when it meets next Wednesday, but
it is certain that the spirit of the rule
will be insisted on. If any action is
taken on the question Of the weekly
holiday it will be up to the Council to
make provision for extra men to take
the place of the men who are relieved
from duty.

Gas ORDINANCE IN.
W. ]. McCIurg Of Pittsburg Would
Build a New Gas System for
kenosha at Once
WILL FURNISH DOLLAR GAS

"Dollar" gas for all purposes is to
be possibility in Kenosha if the ordi-
nance for a franchise for new gas
company proposed by w. J. McClurg
Of Pittsburg to the City Council on
Monday evening is passed by that
body. The ordinance has been in the
hands of the special light committee
for several months and it was decided
to send it to the Council on Monday
evening. The ordinance was not
drawn in the form provided by the
Wisconsin laws and it was not accom-
panied by the application demanded
by the Council and for this reason the
special light committee was directed
to return it to the promoter with the
suggestion that a proper application
be made out and that the ordinance
be drawn in proper form and return
ed to the city. AS soon as this is done
the ordinance will be published at the
expense Of the promoter and then it
will be ready for the Council to take
some action on it.
The ordinance as sent in makes no
provision for the life of the franchise
but this will be remedied in a new ordi
nance. It will give to the Pittsburg
man the right to lay gas mains in all
the streets, alleys and lanes Of the city
for the purpose of supplying gas for
light, heat AND fuel and for all other
purposes. 1t provides that the com
pany must replace all pavements dis
turbed putting them back in as good
a condition as when entered within
forty eight hours after notice is given
to them after which time the work
may be done by the city and the cost
of it charged to the company. It
provides that the pipes must be at
least three feet below the surface Of
the streets.
In return for the granting of the
rights and privileges of the franchise
the company agrees to furnish to the
city 10000 cubic feet Of gas to be used
exclusively in the lighting of the city
buildings. The company further agrees
to furnish gas for all uses in the city
at fiat rate Of $1.10 per thousand
e. 10 nf n4eS al,
1000 feet if paid for within ten days
of the date of the bill. This would
mean uniform rate of 81 for each
thousand feet of gas used for any
purpose.
The ordinance provides that the
company must file an acceptance of
the franchise ordinance within ninety
days of it's passage and if the company
fails to have the system installed be-
fore Nov. /, 1910 the Council by
two-thirds vote may revoke all rights
granted. There is no bond provided
for in the ordinance, but it is prob
to before the new draft is presented
to the Council. 1t will also be neces-
sary for the promoter to incorporate
a company to take the franchise
should it be granted by the Council as
the Wisconsin law strictly provides
against he granting of franchise to
an individual.
It is probable that the ordinance
will be rewritten and put in shape to
be acted upon before the end of July
and that it will come before the Coun-
ell for an early action. Before it is
passed the people of the city will be
given every possible chance to state
their views on it.

late Moncure d. Conway, unless he has family
treed ancestor OF George Washington" Yet
despite the many clever scholars and antquar-
ians of America who have tried their hands at
this sport" 1t has remained for a fellow OF
the Royal Historical society of England Rev.
Frederick w. Ragg, to convey to us the latest
interesting revelation regarding the ancestry
of our first president.
Barring those that champion the truly demo
cratic standpoint, less prevalent to-day than
Ii was in 1920, which scorns to connect itself
with old world titles and abhors royalty, there
remain many liberal souls among us who do
not grudge to one who was acknowledged first
in war and first in peace share in the homage
accorded the first family of England
Edward l. was himself mighty warrior. and
first in many wars; his prowess was early exer-
cised on the Turks, during the last crusade
ever embarked on by England's kings, and
when the throne became his own he success
fully carried out his project OF uniting England,
Scotland and Wales He brought the famous
stone of Scone to Westminster abbey, and
under him England became a mighty nation.
He was monarch wise and great though
he had little leaning toward democratic govern
ment and did not display special iondness for
Magma Charter. Edward Longshanks was not
an ancestor to be despsed by his descendant
George. OF kingly bearing and equally long legs.
That this direct line of descent has not until
now been established may seem a bit surpris-
ing In view OF the exhaustive research that has
been devoted to the Washington ancestry The
reason is, however not difficult to understand
when one reflects that such research has been
concerned exclusively with the male line, while
this royal blood is introduced into the family
by Margaret Butler, who married Laurence
Washington In 1883.
Mr.. Worthington Chauncey Ford and others
who have made special study OF the Washing
ton pedigree trace the line back to John Wash
ington OF Whitfield, flve generations back OF
the Aforesaid Laurence and his wife Margaret.
These students state that this Margaret Butler
was the daughter OF William Butler of Tighes
Sussex, but do not follow the Butler pedigree
back OF this point Here Mr.. Ragg has taken
up the quest and after careful study OF old
records tombstones. and entries In church reg
listers has proved that William Butler father Of
Mrs, Laurence Washington, stands tenth in
direct descent from Edward l.
Reference to the above genealogical tree Just
completed by Mr.. Ragg, and verified since it's
arrival in America by various genealogical ex-
perts, who have pronounced II satisfactory, will
show conclusively that George Washington IL

home, but his courage never failed him and
he pushed on.
When the sky looked blackest he would plan
some campaign to make of defeat n victory
happy illustration of this was when one
Christmas night the soldiers were quite ready
to give up and go home. They were camping
on the banks of the Delaware Pointing to
the other side ne said Our enemy is camp
ing there" They were Hessan soldiers, and
since II was Christmas night, they were cele-
brating. II was with difficulty the army
crossed, for the night was wild, dark and cold.
But in spite of the great blocks of ice on the
river. Washington managed to get his army
across, and victory was the result. A more
difficult year spent in Valley Forge 1t
was n long, cold winter the soldiers hungry
for food, and they did not have enough clothing
and blankets to keep themselves warm Many
times they were on the verge OF mutineering
II was only by means OF his tact and good
judgment that he brought harmony into camp
and gave the war successful ending.
After leaving the army he went back home
and spent much time improving the farm. The
Mount Vernon estate gradually became an ex
pensive AFFAIR. Here he kept open house, and
never day went by without his receiving call
ers and friends Some of the dinners and
levees were often elaborate, and he struggled
hard not TO appear bored. He had hoped to
spend the rest Of his life among these pleasant
surroundings He often told his friends: Let
those who wish such things as ONCE be at the
head of things. | do not wish them. All de-
sire now is TO settle down at Mount Vernon
and to enjoy my farm" But after the constitu-
tion was ratified and the votes of the electors
were opened and counted II was found that
everyone had voted for Washington. During
his presidency he had many knotty problems,
but he met them all with good sense and judg
ment. Because he played the double role of
commander of the army and the first president
of this nation equally well he is entitled to the
name the Father Of His Country

clusion that the problem was impos-

have tested the wave motors invented
by William Snee OF Pittsburg. Pa.
state that these motors will do the
work for which they are intended.
The motor or rather the revolving

such an unqualified success that two
elton motors have been installed at
the end of Young's pier at Atlantic
City, and the power obtained will be
utilized TO make the pier and beach
one great blaze of light.
The wave motor seems TO be an
amphibious machine. for It works NJ
well on the land as II does in the wa
ter. This feature was tested recently
at Pittsburg and the motor proved H.
self to be 20 per cent. more sensitive
TO the currents of the air than the
thermometer the same principle that

the fan tail windmill there need be no

This discovery naturally suggested
the idea of using both the wind and
wave motors in government light
houses, the matter was brought TO the
attention of the government officials
and an investigation is being made.

fused TO heed English commands and continued
TO build forts, George Washington was ap-
pointed TO command soldiers TO march against
the French in the. spring. This was the begin
ming of war between the French and English,
which lasted seven years. Gen. Braddock was
sent over from England and George was made
a colonel and commanded the Virginia troops.
Though Braddock was a capable general, he
did not understand the art of fighting the In
dians and refused to heed young Washington's
advice. The general was shot in one OF these
engagements. With this the Redcoats began

All day he was In the midst OF the fight Four
bullets went through his coat and two horses
were shot under him.
The war at an end. Washington returned
home. He was anxious to see his mother, whom
he had not seen in some time. Though Mrs
Washington was not brilliant woman, she
had plenty of good judgment and common
sense and was always ready to give her son
wise counsel. Proud though she was OF her
boys energy and desire TO serve his country
she was careful not to spoil him by excessive
praise. She loved to hear of the hazards OF
war, but she emphasized the dangers more
than her boys success.
Hardships and ong-fought campaigns had
done much to impair his health, and he went
to Williamsburg to consult physician On
this trip he met Mrs. Martha Custis, widow OF
Daniel Parke Custis, one Of the wealthiest
planters in the colony. They were married
some Ave months later Very little is known
Of her except that she was petite, pretty and
exceedingly devoted to her husband. She was
very proud of his successes, and used all her
energy TO make his trials easy as she could.
There are those who attribute Washingtons
first step upward to his marriage. This is GER
tanly untrue, for he was the road to sue
cess when he married her Whenever Wash
ington went on a long campaign his wife took
up headquarters where she might be near him.

"END JusTlFIEs THE MEANS"

"The end justihes the means" This motto,
from the coatofarms OF Washington will no
doubt fash into the minds of certain admirers
of the father of his country who glance at the
genealogical tree, which is Englands latest
contribution TO the oftdebated question of
Washingtons ancestry.
Let no man fancy he knows sport" said the
