DENIES ALL ACCUSATIONS MADE
to Have Used His Official
Position and Political Power to
Name Men for Jury Panel Without
Formality of Subpoena.

Joseph E. lBidwell, formerly a Keno
sha man and widely known among the
earlier residents of the city, is fgur-
Ing prominently in the grand jury
probe in Chicago and the grand jury
Investigating the packing of juries in
Cook county heard accusations against
the hermer Kenoshan at it's sessions on
Friday afternoon. BidMell is des-
cendant of one of the most prominent
Of the old families of Kenosha and he
has been a power in Chicago and Cook
county politics for the past twenty
years The accusations against him
Aare made by E. p: Morgan who claims
to have. benefited largely by the politi-
cal favorss extended by Bidwell. Nor
gan in his statement before the grand
jury on Friday declared that it was
an open secret that Bidwell and others
who were in official. position placed
men on the jury panel without the reg
ular official subpoena and that the
only thing necessary for one of the
friends of Bidwell to get on the jury
was for him to need the money 1t
was alleged that this handing out of
places on a jury was one of the ways
in which political debts were paid
James Ambrose, also former county
clerk of Cook county, was accused of
the same Irregularities as Bidwell.
Joseph E. Bidwell was formerly chief
grain inspector of Chicago and his son
Els at present clerk of Cook county.
/ Bidwell last night declared that the
accusations made by Morgan before
the grand jury were absolutely with
out foundation and unworthy of notice
He declared that he never put Morgan
or any other man on jury without
his name having been properly drawn
and declares that during his admin
istration of his various Offices in Chi
cago he was always working in strict
compliance with the laws of the state.
The accusations against Bidwell were
the sensation Of the day among the
politicians in Chicago as Bidwell is
regarded as one of the real political
powers in Chicago. The grand jury
has been investigating charges Of jury
packing for the past two weeks and it
is claimed that when arrests are made
many of the men who have been de-
cidedly prominent in Chicago will be
caught in the net. So far as is
known no indictment was voted against
the former Kenosha man on Friday.

jury makes it's report

FARMERS WANT STATIONS
To Petition Mr.. Beggs for Places to
Protect Them From Storms

Soon farmers and others who reside
along the line Of the Milwaukee Elec-
trio Railway & Light company, will
send a petition to Manager John I.
Beggs, praying that stations be erected
at different points so as to afford am
pie protection to patrons of the road
during the cold winter weather and
when it rains and storms.
The claim is made that not single
station or any kind of protection ex-
lists outside of the larger cities or vii
lagos on the entire line and that the
people who patronize the cars are Of
ten obliged to stand out and wait for
cars which are often from half to two
hours late. The petition will point to
the different provisions that exist ION
the Chicago & Milwaukee Electric line.
where there are stations and ample
protection for patrons.
Of course Mr.. Beggs will claim that
the earnings of the road will not war
rant such large expenditure of money
as the erection of stations will cost
and that if they are provided on this
line, all others will clamor for the
same thing. However, the authorities
should insist such be furnished.

promise is kept it is thought that it
will be possible to get the building
under roof by the first of December
and the work of finishing it will be
completed by the first of March On
account of the heavy penalty laid up
on the contractors for the non compile
tion of the building at the time set in
in the contract every possible effort
will be made to complete it at the
earliest possible minute

WORKING ON NEW PROPOSITION
Confidential Letter Declares That
Notes are Spurious but Not
Counterfeit and That They Can
be Passed with Ease.
From Thursdays Daily

Have you ever bought any green
goods? If you haven't there are a
dozen we'll known men In Kenosha to-
day who are in a position to give you
a chance as the Johnson Bradley Com
pany presumably of Boston, Mass, has
sent a big pile of letters to Kenosha
offering to take up any old poor man
in Kenosha and make his independent
in less time than it takes to tell it.
The company now seeking to hand out
the money evidently has agents in
several cities and the red tape that is
to be gone through shows that the
men backing it have taken every pre-
caution to land their victim with as
little risk as possible. The follow
ing letter received by well known
Wisconsin street business man is a
sample of the line that is being handed
out:

State Tax Commissions Re
port Shows Sale Values Are
High in Kenosha Co.
ARE NEARER ASSESSED VALUE

The Wisconsin State Tax Commits
sion has sent to the county clerk its
annual report of the sale value of
property sold in Kenosha county dur
ing the year 1908 and this report will
be used in connection with other re-
ports in making, up the annual report
of the supervisor of assessments to be
presented to the County Board at the
November session. The report is a
small volume and it is supposed to
contain the record of every real estate
sale made in the county during the
period covered where stated consid-
GRAFTON was given. 1t does not con-
tain record of all the sales on ac-
count of the fact that there were many
transfers in which the consideration
was stated at one dollar and other
considerations and this consideration
is not regarded by the Commission as
valuable in securing the true value of
property sold.
The sale value of each piece of
property is compared with the assess
ed value and the report shows that
the sale value OF such property trans
ferred is nearly double the assessed
value. The value of property sold in
the entire county during the year end
ing April 80, 1909, is placed at
$444,0S9 and the assessed valuation of
this same property is placed by the
assessors at 1896, 145. The value of
lots and other city property sold was
$255,414 and this had an assessed value
of $l77,210. The value of lands sold
was placed at $1S5,675 and it's assess
ed value was $108935
q In the town of Brighton the sale
value was within few dollars of the
assessed value, but in the other towns
and in the city there is considerable
difference. The sale values for the
different towns and the city as COM
pared with the assessed value are given

The milk consumer is more interest
ed in that fight between the farmers
and the bottling concerns over con-
tracts for the next six months than he
perhaps realizes. Which ever way it
comes out it will be seized upon by
the distri buting agencies as an excuse
for raising prices to the consumer. In
case the farmers win the milk costs
more and the consumer will be expect
ed to stand the increase and if the far
mers lose and refuse to deliver at the
old rates there is a shortage in the
supply. The consumer pays either way.

MUST ISSUE LICENSES
State Game Warden Orders County
Clerk to Issue Licenses to Boys

The county clerk has received a
formal order from the state game war
. den directing that he issue hunting
licenses to all residents of Wisconsin
irrespective of age. This is in keep
ing with the recent opinion given by
the attorney general in which he held
that the county clerks of the state
under the law could not decline to is
sue licenses to boys under Is years of
age. 1t is evident that the new game
warden is DESTROYS of making the de
partment as remunerative as possible
to the state and to this end he desires
as many licenses issued as possible.
County Clerk Jones had declined to
issue licenses to boys under the age
of Is, but in the future licenses will
be issued to every resident of the coun-
ty regardless of age or sex who has
the money to pay for them.
