From the booking agent in New York he was ipfo-med thise morning that two con tracts had been made for this week by Captain Webb, who had gone to an- other city. The agent promises a strong act to open at the island tomor- row afternoon Webb's sea lions will therefore appear next Sunday in two free performances and daily thereafter

AFTER FACTORY MEN
Deputy Inspector Evans Brings Man
ayers of Big Factory Into Court

Il. s. Cooper, head of the Cooper
Underwear Company and Chas. Jacobs,
the superintendent of the same con-
Germ, were brought into the Municipal
court Friday on charges of hav-
ing employed children under the age
OF sixteen years without a permit.
Both OF the managers of the plant
pleaded. that they had conscientiously
endeavored to comply with the law and
that the children had been at work in
their factory in violation of the law
without their knowledge or consent.
Mr.. Jacobs stated to the court that in
the case in which he was implicated
he had asked the age of the applicant
and that she had stated that she was
over the age of sixteen years. Mr..
Cooper stated that he knew nothing
whatever in regard to the charges
against him and that the examination
of the employees was never undertaken
by him personally.
Deputy Factory Inspector D. D..
Evans was present and conducted the
prosecution of the cases and after con-
sidering the evidence the judge as
sessed the minimum of twenty-five dol
lars and costs in each case.

ZION GENERAL STORES
Contradictory Reports in Regard to
Ownership Keep Zion Stirred Up

The truth about the Zion general
stores is proving a pretty hard matter
to get at and there are two stories in
circulation.
One is that Voliva IS council of twelve
ordered Beatty to buy the general
stores for the Voliva church and that
this has been done.
The other is that Beatty acted for the
council of twelve and Voliva, but that
he still holds the stores and that neither
Voliva or his council has yet made a
payment to complete it's purchase of
Beatty, although it is generally said
now that Beatty acted as the Voliva
gent in the transaction instead of wish
ing to settle down himself in peaceful
Zion and run a general store.
AS for Beatty himself he claims that
his company is the sole owner of the
property and that Voliva has not now
and probably never will have any in
terest in the stores.

FINED SECOND TIME.
Mike Griesch Settles the Second Time
For Same Offense Thursday.

Mike Grieseh is having troubles of
his own these days and if he ever gets
through with them he will have an in
creased respect for the long arm of the
law that should keep him out of other
disturbances for long time. Mon
day Griesch was arrested on a burglary
charge but when the case came up in
the Municipal Court Wednesday the
charge was changed to malicious mis-
chief and he was let off with nominal
fine of dollar and costs. He paid up
and, departed congratulating himself
that he had escaped so easily. His
rejoicing was premature, however, for
this morning he was brought up in the
court again, this time on a civil war
rant alleging damages to personal
property and was obliged to give SO
and costs to secure his release. These
actions for personal damages under
which arrests can be made are new
thing in the courts of Kenosha, but
there have been two of them in the
last two days.

CITY APPEALS CASE.
City Will Fight Claim for
Damages Allowed Ben Bar
ovsky in Justice Court
AMOUNT OF DAMAGES SMALL

City Attorney John G. Slater filed
Thursday the record in the appeal
of the case of Ben Barovs1y VS.. the.
City of Kenosha The amount in
volved IS not large, being only seventy
dollars and the costs in the Justice
Court, but the attorney for the city
holds that the plaintiff is not entitled
to recover anything and that In order
to protect the city from similar actions
in the future the case should be car
ried to he higher cours and fought to
a finish. 1t will cost fully as much to
appeal the case as it would to settle
the judgment against the city, but the
city attorney believes that it will be
cheaper for the city in the long run
than to establish a precedent that may
lead to the filing of innumerable claims
by paying a justice court judgment.
The plaintiff in the action is only
sixteen years Of age and is a son of
Harry Barovsky, who has acted as in
terpreter in many cases and is a we'll
known figure around the courts. The
accident on which the action is based
occurred last November when the Barrow
szys drove into pile of stone on Crate
street and it is claimed that the warn
ing lights which should have guarded
the stone pile had not been lit. 1t
is claimed that young Barovsky was
so severely injured that he was unable
to attend school for some time. The
city made no defense in the Justice
court and if the city is beaten in the
higher court the John o. Jones com,
pany will have to settle the damages
awarded.
This case could not be transferred
to the Municipal Court for the reason
that that court had not been establish
ed at the time the action was com
menced.

TO START LIBRARY
Kenosha Go. Medical Associa-
tion To Have a Medical
Library at Hospital
TO have ROOM IN new BUILDING

The Kenosha County Medical Asso-
citation at it's regular meeting at the
Y, M. G.. A. parlors Thursday evening
inaugurated movement which will re-
suit in the new hospital being equipped
with complete medical library con
tanning all the up-to-date and standard
reference books for the use of all Of
the physicians Of the city.
The want of medical library has
been felt by the physicians of the city
for long time and some time ago the
association appointed committee to
confer with the trustees Of the Gilbert
M. Simmons library in regard to the
use of room at that library for the
care of the books to be accumulated by
the doctors. Before this plan could be
taken up by the committee, however,
the plans for the new hospital were
drawn and room in that building was
set aside for the use of the physicians
for library. When it was found that
the needs of the association in the way
of a library room had been provided
for the physicians decided to begin the
work Of accommodating medical works
at once and at the meeting Thursday
evening the work was started by ap-
no;p+;nr Dr Win Jocbo;,1, II hove Wv,
eral charge of soliciting subscriptions
for the purchase of the books and Of
the selection of the books. The move
ment for a library will be pushed
vigorously by the members of the as
sociation and by the time the room at
the new hospital is ready for them the
physicians expect that they will have
gotten together collection Of medical
works that will be of great value to
every physician in the city.
The meeting of the association was
called to order by President Adams and
the members present listened to an able
paper by DR.. Hastings on scarlet fever
and the informal discussion of the sub
ject which followed was participated
in by all the doctors. The project for
the medical library was then taken up
by the members Of the association and
thoroughly discussed in all it's bearings
with the result that the association will
begin the work of getting such a col
lection of medical works as they be-
lieve will be useful at the new hospital,
together at once under the plan out
lined above.

RENDERED OPEN VERDICT
Coroner's Jury Unable to Identify Body
Found on Beach Thursday

The coroner's jury called to hold an
inquest over the remains of the unz
fortunate man whose body was found
on the beach north of the city Thurs
day afternoon returned an open YER
dict to the effect that the jury was I'M
able to determine the time, place, or
manner in which the man whose body
lay before them came to his death.
There was nothing new in regard to the
case brought out at the inquest and the
jury was unable to get the slightest
clue to the identity of the drowned
man. 1t was decided that the body
was that of young man and that was
about all. The body was in such an
advanced stage Of decomposition that
1t was almost impossible to examine it
at all and any marks on the body which
might have led to its being identified
had been effaced by the action of the
water. The remains were inferred in
the potters field at the City cemetery
Immediately after the jury had render
ed its verdict.

ADDS TO EQUIPMENT MUST PROTECT FOOD
Merchants Making Sidewalk
Displays of Food Products
Must Keep Same Covered
new LAW TO Be ENFORCED

Merchants of the city who have been
in the habit of making sidewalk dis
plays of their goods without covering
them with some kind of protection
against flies and dirt have unknowing-
ly been violating a law passed by the
last legislature which contains very
stringent regulations in regard to the
display of food products for sale. The
law was passed on June 8, 1909, and it
seems to have entirely escaped the at
tentiop of the local merchants, but they
are liable to a visit from the agents
of the State Dairy and Food Commits
sion at any time now and while it is
not likely that the Commission will be
very severe on the merchants for
first offense it is said that the new law
is part of the campaign for pure food
that is being waged in this state and
that it is the intention to enforce it to
the letter.
One account of the law being of the
greatest Importance to the several
hundred merchants of the city, it is
here published:
Section l. There is added to the
statutes new section to read: Section
460th. /. 1t shall be unlawful to man
ufacture or prepare for sale food as
defined in section 1900 of the statutes,
unless in the process of it's manufacture
for sale or it's preparation for sale it
is securely protected from filth, flies,
dust and other contamination, or other
unclean, unhealthful or unsanitary con.
ditions. It shall be. unlawful to store
or offer or expose for sale or sell food
as defined in section $500 of the
statutes, unless it is securely protected
from filth, flies, dust and other con-
tamination, or other unclean, unhealth-
full or unsanitary conditions.
2. The dairy and food commissioner
is hereby authorized and empowered,
by himself, or by his assistants, chem
lists, inspectors, or agents, to enforce
the provisions of this act, and for this
purpose, he or any of his assistants,
chemists, inspectors, or agents shall
have power to enter and inspect every
building, room, basement or cellar,
which may be occupied or used for the
manufacture or preparation for sale,
storage or exposing or offering for sale
or selling food, as herein defined; and
the dairy and food commissioner and
his assistants, chemists, inspectors and
agents shall have all the power con-
ferred by the statutes upon him or them

MAY ARREST BoYs
Property Owners Are to Stop Destruc-
tion of the Small Trees

Boys who have been breaking down
the small trees set out by property
owners in different parts of the city
are due to make an appearance in the
Municipal Court in short time unless
they change their ways and let the
young trees alone. The tree owners
say that it has been impossible to set
out trees in front of their property be-
cause of the vandalism of gang of
boys who break off limbs and in some
cases have gone so far as to uproot
the settings altogether. Some of the
sufferers from this sort of vandalism
have taken the trouble to find which
of the boys are responsible for most
of the vandalism and they are prepar-
ing to use harsh measures to put a
stop to it. The men who have lost
trees have been very patient and have
replaced the settings time and again
after the boys have destroyed them.
but patience has ceased to be a virtue
and they are going to protect their
property. There is difference of
opinion among those who have lost trees
as to whether the boys are guilty Of
malicious mischief or merely thought
less, but they are all united on the
proposition that the young trees must
be protected.

DRAINAGE DITCH PROPOSED
One That Will Reclaim Many Acres in
the Western Part of the County

On Friday, Sept. 10, scores Of farm
ers from Burlington and Dover Racine
county, and Brighton, Kenosha county,
will assemble at the court house in
Racine to discuss the question of a
canal or drainage district in those town
ships Notice has been given of the
filing of "a petition, praying for the or
ganization of such drainage, district
under and pursuant to the provisions
Of the revised statutes of the state of
Wisconsin The petition is signed by
Irving G. Wheeler and ffty-eight other
owners of land within the boundaries
of said proposed drainage.
The object of the drainage is that
the lands embraced in the district may
be drained and reclaimed and the pub
lie health and welfare thereby promot-
ed. The idea is to construct a main
canal or ditch following as nearly as
practicable the route of what is known
as Hoosier Creek, a non navigable
water course and to construct branch
bitches emptying into the main ditch
and thus provide an adequate system
of drainage for the district.
1t is understood that the ditch, if
put in, will drain hundreds of acres of
land that is now worthless so far as
cultivation is concerned. Most Of the
owners of land are favorable to the
improvement.

MAKE NEW ASSESSMENT
State Tax Commission Assessors Will
Fix Values in Waukesha County

Expert assessors selected by the
State Tax Commission will make a com
plete re-assessment of Waukesha coun-
ty for the year 1908. This action is
the result Of an appeal taken by a
number of the towns and villages in the
county against the equalided valuation
for state taxes as fixed by the Commits
sion. The appeal is based on the al
legation that. the towns have been
unfairly treated and Disseminated
against and after listening to the testi-
mony the Commission ordered the re-
assessment to be made. This is the
first time that such re-assessment has
been ordered although an appeal for
|one was made once before.

SETTLES CLAIMS FOR DAMAGES
Actor Has to Give Up $50 to Mungen
Stables and William Bobbs as Result
of Joy Ride He Took With Hired
Rig on Monday Afternoon.

Sam Liebert of New York, the star
of the End Of the World company
which has just completed an. engage
ment at the Bijou Theatre and one of
the best known actors on the vaude-
vile circuit, will not soon forget his
visit to Kenosha and he is thoroughly
convinced that while joy riding in a
buggy may be new form Of sport it
is one of the most expensive forms of
amusement in which a man can indulge.
Liebert probably enjoys the doubtful
distinction of having had one of the
most expensive buggy rides ever taken
by anybody in the country for the one
he -indulged in Monday cost him in the
neighborhood Of $40 before he got
through with it.
Liebert and two members of his
company went out in rig belonging
to the Munger stable on Monday after.
noon and went cavorting around in the
country south of the city at such a
pace that farmers along their route re-
ported to Mungen that his horse was
being abused. Mungen promptly went
after Liebert and he was arrested and
arraigned in the Municipal Court on a
charge of malicious mischief. He had
fo crjxy
action to square himself with the court
on this charge. He paid this fine, but
as he was a little slow to part with
any more of his spare change to settle
Mungen IS bill for damages and a claim
by farmer by the name of William
Bobbs, whose rig the joy riders had
run into in the course of their trip, two
warrants were sworn out against Lie
bert on civil actions for personal dam
ages Wednesday night and these were
served by Chief O'Hare Immediately
after the close of the performance at
the theatre. Liebert protested strong
~ against, being hauled up again for
something he claimed to have paid for
once and the whole party adjourned to
the sheriff s office to talk matters over.
Liebert held out and refused to pay
up for an hour, but when the sheriff
intimated that it was time to close up
for the night and that Liebert could
have his choice of paying or staying
inside he made a virtue of necessity
and handed over $15 to Mungen, $40
to Bobbs and So for cost in full set
Element Of all claims.
Liebert claimed that he would have
fought the case had he not had an en-
gagement to appear at the Majestic
Theatre in Chicago this afternoon and
he shook the dust of Kenosha from his
feet this morning and departed on the
first train in very bad humor declar-
ing that he had something "handed''
to him in this city and that he would
deserve a similar dose if he ever show
ed his face here again.
