PLENTY on R1o TAPE
Judges Receive New Blanks to be Used
in Connection With Labor Permits

The work of issuing labor permits
for children promises to be surrounded
with as much red tape as is found
in the primary election law and this
morning the judges in Kenosha receiv-
ed new set of blanks from the state
department of labor to be used in con-
nection with the child labor permits.
These new blanks are to be signed by
the school principals or clerks and it
is the purpose of the department to
have the school teachers furnish all
of the information in regard to the
child seeking work. These permits
must be signed by the principal or the
school clerk and there is some doubt
as to the right of any other official to
sign them. In addition to giving the
permit the school official is asked to
get complete history of every child
and it's family showing just how many
children in the family work and the
earning capacity of the children as
well as their parents.

known women of Racine and widely
known in Kenosha was taken sudden
ly Ill on a street car in nenosha on

NAMED In an unconscious condition for
over an hour. Later she recovered

Kenosha County Poultry Show
Association Holds interest.
ing Meeting Monday
ARRANGE FOR ANNUAL EXHIBIT
Kenosha Breeders to Join With Racine
in an Effort to Interest More
People in the Breeding
Of Better Poultry

Monday night the poultry breeders
of the city and county held one of the
most enthusiastic meetings in the his
tory of the association at Builders Elk
change Hall. Committees that did
not make proper reports were dismiss
ed, officers who have not shown up
regularly at meetings were severely
criticized, in fact there were about ten
members, who wanted to see something
doing, and they were out with large
double headed hammers
The first clash of the evening came
when motion was made TO elect a
third vice-president owing to the fact
that the president, and first and second
vice presidents lived in the country,
and were seldom present. j. M. Bruins
was elected to the office. The next
clash was a motion for the reduction
of membership fees from $500 to $1.00
this was balloted on and the $1.00
membership won out with large ma
jority.
The question of a broader name was
next discussed and it was decided to
name the association "'The Wisconsin
Lake Shore Poultry Breeders Associa-
ton The adoption of broader
name, seemed necessary, owing to the
fact that Racine members wished to
join the present Kenosha association,
but they felt that the name should be
changed. The changing of the name
makes it possible for shows to be held
in Kenosha or Racine and it is ex-
pected that the second exhibition will
be held in Racine in 1910, the first
annual exhibition will be held in Ke-
nosha Nov. 80 to Dee 6. 1t is hoped
that Mungens Auditorium will be Sc
cured. Judges +. Ii. Shellabarger and
Geo. w. Hackett, have been secured to
place the awards. 90 coops and all
necessary feeding vessels and material
for the show have been arranged for.
The Pratt Coping Company of New
ark, \. j., will coop the show, and an
elegant effect will be assured, as these
people have been in the coping bust
ness for ten years.
1t was decided to leave the entry
fee for the single birds twenty-five
cents and pens $1.00. The associa-
ton in voting for the $100 member
ship fee, also voted to place a roll of
honor which would contain only susr
tanning members, such members to take
in merchants and any individual, who
although he does not breed poultry is
interested in the building up of better
poultry in this section Of the state.
Probably one of the most agreeable
surprises of the evening was the gift
of $500 silver-cup by T. 7. Parker,
This is the second cup the association
has so far, as DR.. Hernsheim has al
ready presented beautiful cup

morning and was in the woods by few
hours after day break. Up to a late
hour this afternoon the result Of his
trip has not been learned in Kenosha
Tuesday afternoon Burns and other
men on the trail of the missing judge
took up the first clue which was found
and which indicated that Judge Clark
son had been in the neighborhod of
Winthrop Harbor. Starting at Win
|throp Harbor Burns and his com
panions- took various roads and stopped
lat every farm house betwnee Winthrop
Harbor and Kenosha but not one of
the farmers had seen Clarkson or any
one who answered his description.
While some people are inclined to
think that, Judge Clarkson may be dead
in some out of the way place the men
who are watching the case with great
est interest declare that they feel GER
tain that his continued absence is sim
ply case of history repeating itself
and that in due time he will be found
wandering about the country in some
place. A big searching party is be-
ing organized for next Sunday and it
is expected mat crowd of at least
two hundred people will be secured to
take part in this work. Hubbard
woods seems to be the center of in
terest in the search and notwithstand-
ing the fact that this woods has been
tramped over repeatedly man answer
ing the description of Judge Clarkson
continues to be seen in the woods and
in the villages or on the edge of it.
The search will not be permitted to
lag on account of Ren to carry it on
and volunteers are daily joining with
the friends of the judge in seeking
his whereabouts.

NEW LAW A NUISANCE
Counties in the State Threatened
With Great Expense in Draw.
ing Coroner's Jures
JURY COMMISs!0H MAY ACT

There seems to be some dissatisfac-
ton among certain county officials
throughout the state with the law
which gives clerks of the court the
power to select men to serve on cor
oner's juries. This law does not now
permit coroners, constables justices
or sheriffs the right to select men to
act as jurors at inquests.
It is claimed that the law was passed
to not only save expense to the cour-
ties, but to prevent so-called "profes-
sional jurors from serving on inquest
after inquest. Coroners have usually,
until the law was passed, selected their
own jurymen and they would choose
men who had served at previous in
quests and no matter whether they
were competent or not. Time and
again much dissatisfaction was caused
because of the verdicts which were
rendered by coroner's juries, but there
seemed to be no remedy and it was
finally decided that a bill should be
introduced in the legislature to have
a clerk of the court select from jury
lists, names of men who should serve
on coroners juries. This bill was
passed and is now in force, but there
is much objection to it on the part
Of some county officials and who claim
that the law will prove most expensive
to the county. These claims are not
true as the jury commissioners meet
certain number of times each year
and draw names of men who will serve
as jurors in the Circuit or Municipal
Courts and from these lists coroners'
juries will be selected in the future.
It is certain that the commissioners
will at their meetings be compelled to
draw large lists because of the new
law, but the expense to the county
will not be any greater.
1t is probable that Clerk of the Cir
cult Court Frank Waldo will ask the
Jury Commission of the county to
draw new list of names which will
be used exclusively for the drawing of
coroner juries.

40 Have A TENT
Kenosha Woodmen to Aid in Work OF
Stamping Out White Plague

It is definitely decided that the mem
bers of the Modern Woodmen of
America In Kenosha and Kenosha
county will aid in the great fight that
is being made to stamp out the white
plague for at a meeting of the camp
held on Tuesday evening after listen
ing to interesting talks Of the great
work that is being done along this
line by other camps Of the order the
members of the Kenosha camp decided
that tent should be erected in con
nection with the big Woodman sani-
tarium in Colorado to be known IS
E'Pike Woods Tent. - The sum Of
$3.50 will be needed to provide for this
tent and the money will be raised by
subscription among the members of
the organization. The Kenosha Wood
men are heart and soul in the move
ment, but there have been so many
demands on the camp that it has been
deemed wise to raise the fund needed
by subscription. It is thought that
the money will be raised so that the
tent can be equipped and opened by
ehe end Of this year.

TO OPEN A HOSPITAL
Simmons Manufacturing Co. To
Have an Emergency Hospital
for Injured Workmen
IN CHARGE OF A PHYSICIAN

The Simmons Manufacturing Com
pany is adopting plan used in many
OF the largest manufacturing plants in
the world and in short time this
company will open an emergency hos
pital for the treatment of workmen
who are injured while employed by
the company. A room is being built
at the plant especially for this pur-
pose and it will have every equipment
to be found in a modern and well
equipped hospital The room will not
be for the care of patients for any
long period of time, but will be strictly
for emergency cases. Following this
rule one portion of the room will be
fitted UP as an operating room and the
company's physician will be in charge
Of it. As soon as possible some cap
able man will be selected from the
workmen at the plant and he will be
placed under the tutelage of the physi-
clan IN order that he may learn just
what is needed in giving first aid to
the injured. At the present time men
injured in all the Kenosha factories
are taken to the Kenosha hospital and
to remove the injured men to the hos
pital before they receive treatment for
their injuries consumes considerable
time. When the emergency hospital
at the Simmons plant is completed it
will be possible to give man injured
almost immediate care. In addition
to this the hospital attendant will be
able to take care of many minor cases
of injury so that it will not be neces-
sary for the patients to go to the hos
pital at ALL
The Simmons Company is the first of
the great plants in Kenosha to adopt
the plan of opening an emergency hos
pital, but it is expected that the other
plants will follow suit as several of
them are already closely watching the
development of the plan.

CHANGE COLOR OF STAMP
It Looks Too Much Like Ordinary
2-cen5 Stamp

The little green special delivery
stamp which was exchanged a few
weeks ago for the large blue stamp
which has long been in vogue, has been
weighed and found wanting by the
postoffice department. The large blue
stamp will be issued once more, and
all the first class postofices in the
country have been notified to this
effect.
Postal clerks did not like the pretty
little green stamp. It lost its popula-
rity when the clerks began to get call
ed down for mixing up special delivery
letters with other mail The green
stamp looked too much like the ordi-
nary 2-cent stamp, although a trife
larger. Special delivery letters are
always placed on top of other letters
in the bundles sent through the mails,
but often when the clerks were arrang-
ing their letters, the special delivery
letters became lost in the package.

PROCLAMATION

To the People of Kenosha:
It having been brought officially
to my notice that Judge Joseph R.
Clarkson, one of the most widely
known and most highly respected pro-
fessional men Of Kenosha, is mysteri-
ously missing from the city and that
the Irienos and relatives of the miss
ing man have reason to believe that
he has wandered away from the city
while mentally incompetent and may
be wandering about in the woods and
fields, |, therefore, as mayor of the
city, call upon the officials of the city
and the people of the city in general to
use every possible effort to aid the
family of Judge Garrison in the effort
that is being made to find some trace
of him. 1t is my order that the men
connected with the city in every Of
fetal capacity and my request that the
people of the whole city join in this
search and continue until the sus-
pense caused by the strange disap-
pearance of a man so widely known
has been removed by his being found.

Officials of the Allen Co. Thank
Governor for Prompt Action
in kenosha Strike
CREDIT FOR GENERAL FALK
Board of Directors of Big Institution
Give State Officials Credit for
Preventing Riot and Dis
order in Kenosha

The Board of Directors of the n. R.
Allen s Sons Company have sent to
Governor Davidson a letter expressing
their appreciation of the action of the
governor in connection with the great
strike at the Kenosha plant last week.
The letter follows:
Kenosha, Wis, July &c, 1909
Honorable j. O. Davidson,
Madison, Wisconsin:
/ Dear Sir:
We thank you for your promptness
in responding to the appeal from our
sheriff we were in serious trouble on
Thursday last. Nearly all of our en-
ployees were on strike or had been
driven from their work by violence
and threats The sheriff was wholly
unable, although using his very best
endeavors, to control the situation.
Your promptness alone in sending
your aid, General Falk, at once pre-
vented further violence and great loss
to us in property, to say nothing of
still greater loss of life which we feel
sure would have occurred Thursday
afternoon or Thursday night at the
| latest.
| General F'alk acted very promptly
and very wisely in the matter and
used the best of judgment at all times
His assurance to the. strikers that they
would be protected with the same care
and attention that would be given to
this company, went long ways in
quieting them and causing them to
listen to reason. At the same time
they were given to understand that nc
further violence would be tolerated fol-
an instant
| We are very glad that it was moi
necessary to actually send troops, but
your promptness alone in sending us
aid in the person Of your representa-
tive settled the difficulty. We trust
that the occasion will never again arise
where it will be necessary to call on
you for help. We can not speak to
highly Of the promptness of your ac
ton in this matter and beg to offer
you our sincere thanks.
Yours truly,
N. R. Aliens Sons Company,
by E. G. Ihiers, Secy.
A letter Of thanks was also sent to
General Otto H. Falk of Milwaukee
which follows:
General Otto H. Falk,
Milwaukee, wisconsin,
Dear Sir:
| Under instructions from our Board
Of Directors [ have forwarded to
Governor Davidson letter thanking
him for his promptness in responding
to the appeal of the sheriff
I am also instructed to say to you
that we are greatly pleased that the
strike is settled and we feel that the
skill which you displayed and the stand
taken by you was the most important
factor in settling the difficulty. We
believe that our employees are glad
that you came and that you said and
did exactly what was done.
We ask you to kindly accept ou1
sincere thanks for your services in be-
half of the state and we are all glad
that we live in Wisconsin.
Yours truly,

SEE CLARKSoN AGAIN
(From Wednesdays Daily)

The clue which leads the searchers
for Judge Joseph R. Clarkson to Glen
coe and the Hubbard Woods is a most
persistent one and a mysterious tele-
phone message at midnight last night
sent to John Burns who has been
at the head Of the search declared
that Garrison was seen in the Hubbard
Woods Tuesday evening This was
followed up by a letter this morning
which made similar statement, but
before he got the letter Burns was off
on the chase again. The telephone
message last night is supposed to have
been from Evanston, but the person
sending it while a woman did not
reveal her identity and she simply
stated that she wanted to aid in every
possible way and that she was con
WINGED that she had seen Judge Clark
son in the woods Tuesday evening.
Burns chafed under the restraint of
being forced to wait until morning to
get on this clue, but he left FOR Win
